living with reality

   "The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." Rudyard Kipling

 I find this quote from Kipling to be rather appropriate for today. Independent thought is being stifled in America. This is evident to anyone really paying attention to what is going on. All thought must conform with those in positions of power and supported by science. Holding religious views is tolerated, even supported on occasion, especially so when it serves as a tool. Some have extracted a single premise from the religious teachings and employ that as bludgeon. Accusations are aimed at those exercising independent thought. They are not being empathetic. Everything you do should be done for someone else is the underlining message. Anyone not in compliance with that, is a threat to the tribe. Basically it is a mob mentality fueled more by emotion than actual facts. It's the same emotion that drives popular culture. It's the reason the news sends out a constant barrage of deaths and infections. The reason the focus is on the elderly and children. The reason you are being told you must cooperate to save the world, or save the planet, the psychology is the same. It's an attempt to transfer responsibility to you. You are the only one that can prevent this!

 This is what is being used to further this agenda of vaccination. If you pay attention you will notice quite the opposite is said when promoting other "tribal" wants. Take the whole gender fluidity thing. In that scenario science is being ignored altogether, excused by what? Empathy? The tribe wishes to pretend they can be whatever gender they feel like and that is to be accepted without question. The "science" of emotion is to be followed, anything else is just a phobia. There certainly isn't any concern for others lives when supporting abortion. But there again, it's the science of emotions that should be followed. I don't want to have a baby, my body, my choice, I get to murder my own offspring! Very empathetic don't you think. The bottom line in all of this is, dependence. 

 You are being taught to be dependent upon the tribe. Now you can't proclaim an allegiance to the tribe, that would be nationalist and a very bad thing. The message today is, seek help! In everything you attempt to do, seek help. You must receive validation from the tribe to be successful. There is truth in that as far as material things go, fame and fortune is dependent upon acceptance from the tribe, but emotional success is dependent upon independent thought. If you become dependent upon others for your emotional health, you will soon find yourself gravely ill. Filled with manic and panic your emotions will collapse. That's what I keep hearing. You have to comply with this mandate for me, you have to save me! I hear the cries of dependence. The cries for reassurance and validation. 

 Trust the science. The problem I have with that is science itself has undermined that trust. Have you listened to the side effects of medications? Science created those medications, studied them, they were all subject to extensive testing before approval, yet, well they hardly ever kill anyone so it's all good, trust the science. The latest scientific creation is this vaccine that isn't really a vaccine. It is something created in a laboratory that effects our mRNA proteins to trigger a response to a virus that isn't there. It was created in record time. An amazing feat of science. Rushed to "market" provided free of charge to all as an experiment never tried on human subjects before. My independent thought on all of that is skepticism. The polio virus was identified in 1908 but the vaccine wasn't developed  and deemed safe for use until the 1950's. That seems more like a reasonable test period. It is worth noting that although the incidence is small, you can still get polio. No variants of polio so far, although this new virus has already spawned several, each more contagious, more deadly than the last. That despite thousands of people being vaccinated! Trust the science it is only the unvaccinated that is causing this reaction. Well, sure vaccinated people can spread the virus and any of its' variants but they aren't, just like Bruce Jenner is now a woman. Hey, trust the science on that one.

 It may be proven that I am wrong and I'm alright with that, been wrong before. I can say that without shame because I have always made the choice myself. What I am ashamed of is when I just went with the crowd and that turned out bad. When I was a part of that I am ashamed. Strange how I am now being told to go along with the crowd when the crowd says I should, but not when the crowd says I shouldn't. You know on those things the crowd knows to be wrong but wish we were right because it is what they want. Things like drugs, alcohol, gambling, the absence of morality or accountability. I shouldn't object to those things. But if you refuse to go along with the crowd I should isolate you, call you names, and deny you everything. 

 Read the last line of Kiplings' quote. Answer that question? Who owns you? It is a privilege that can be denied you by yourself! I am an independent member of the tribe called Americans. We value independence and freedom above all else. Yes it is an emotion, and emotions are what drive men forward. It was emotion that secured freedom and it will be emotion that preserves it. Control your emotions carefully, don't be swept away with the tide. Each of us live within our own reality. You have to accept the reality you live in to be truly independent.
