Afraid?

 Fear can control and cripple! It's the easiest tool to wield as well. All it takes is lies! Control the narration and you control the story. You can even get people to participate in the story, contribute to it. To believe in it. Even fantasies can become real when the fear is strong enough. You don't need to believe the story, only experience the fear. If everyone believes it, that is proof enough.

How often do you hear about getting the vaccine, the rising crime statistics, the cost of living, racism, discrimination, disparity, climate change and many other "eventualities" that are going to kill you or destroy the planet. Are you afraid yet? Are you actively participating in telling that story? Are you responding with the fight or flight reflex. Yes, those are the immediate reactions to fear. And that is what is being taught to our children. Either fight or run, never compromise, never concede, just fight it out or run away.

Are you afraid yet? You are going to lose your social security, your health plan, and your gasoline powered automobile. You will not be able to live your best life, it'll have to be second best. The state will decide what medicines you may have, mostly ones to counteract whatever the latest malady they say is going to do you in. The latest being "boosters" that will improve the response of the last "booster" you were given. Covid-!9 boosters will soon be eliminated and just the "updated" version of the vaccine will be stressed. Each new version targeting a different strain. I expect with just as much success as the annual flu shot, in its' best years, 50% efficacy, more often a good deal less. It is to maintain the fear level, wouldn't want to start feeling comfortable about any of that. At this very moment measles is making a comeback! Only 95% of the population have been vaccinated and as a result 100% of us will die! Are you afraid?

You are being told that you must fully support the LGBTQ+ people. Failure to do so will result in financial ruin if you own a business, lose of your job, and maybe even criminal charges. Just keep your mouth shut. Are you afraid to speak out? Not if you are on the "right" side of the narrative; saying the politically correct statements. A form of flight. That's the new "activism" and "empathy" we all hear so much about. You will comply, be passive, do as you are told, support whatever it is you are told to support. Failure to do so will get you labeled a radical, a rebel or gasp, a capitalist. The narrative there being the only way to unity is for everyone to "do their own thing" that way we can all be wrong! And as a bonus, no one points that out. Are you afraid?

Those of us that aren't afraid, are angry. Anger and frustration lead to the last election results. Those voting for Trump demanding change and those voting for Kamala afraid to vote otherwise lest they lose their support system. Yes, their dependence upon government is a very real thing. Willing to cower in the corner as long as things go their way. They are afraid; of everything. The one thing they fear the most is the truth. When you destroy the fantasy, the fear becomes real. Reality does have a way of smacking you in the face. You have to learn to roll with the punch, because you aren't going to change reality. Just as the climate has been changing since the earth was formed you had best learn to live with that, you ain't changing it! And as far as all you 10%'ers you are the minority and guess what; majority rules! Get used to that reality. Yes, it is time to get back to the truth, like it or not. The truth shall set you free! Might make you a bit angry but you won't be afraid anymore.
