Tech And The Swamp Monsters

 

While originally trying to post this on fb, I quite literally saw it get taken down as I was posting it, so I am trying this from a different direction and hope that it sticks.

I have been surprised by the lack of attention that a few comments by by the mouth piece of the grumpy one, and some of what the grumpy one himself has said, has garnished.

We all know that the swamp creatures have been spying and trying to censor us for many a moon but now they openly admit it. They openly admit to using the “platforms” or putting pressure on those platforms, to censure what they deem as “misinformation.”

Last I knew, if the swamp animals, especially the head beast and his minions, were trying to force the issue of censorship on anyone that would be considered a violation of the first amendment.

The first amendment has never been about speech or wording that is acceptable. It has always been about speech that you might find offensive or even believe to be totally false. Even if it's considered “misinformation” by the swamp ( something they never really define other then to say it doesn't meet their collective, pc agenda) it is still allowed by the first amendment.

Some might suggest that the “platforms” are allowed to do as they please and censor as they will, and they can, however once they start going down this road, which they have been for a while now, then they are no longer a protected neutral platforms, they have become editors and therefore are subject to the same laws that other publishing companies and editors are faced with.

Of course I know this won't ever happen. No one in the swamp, with a few notable exceptions, wish to make enemies of the “platform” folks because, Ironies of all Ironies, they will get censored or out right banned.

So both are in violation of the the first amendment because they are working hand in hand and if no one, other then a few small voices like mine, are going to speak up in defense of this right, we might as well give it all up and surrender to the Mao land brothers who have made all this possible.

Trail Of Tears

As most of you who are reading this know, there has been quite a concerted effort ,by the donkeys, to push for Marxism and socialism, believing , rather foolishly I might add, that somehow a bigger more intrusive government, controlling all aspects of our lives, is somehow a thing to desire. Even as they are pushing this notion of “soft socialism” Cubans are rebelling against their communist overlords and gangs are taking over, with the approval of the communist regime, the streets of Venezuela. But for the moment let us ignore all of those pesky facts, let us forget of the oppression going on of minorities in Mao land or the millions of deaths caused by every socialist dictator since the soviet revolution, let us instead focus closer to home.

As most of you know by now my wife and I have moved to Missouri. Saturday was a very warm sunny day and we decided to take a hike along part of the “Trail Of Tears” which passes through the town we live in. I took pictures of the river, and the trees, and it was all so peaceful, the path was clear and the various markers, explaining what went on and memorializing it, I thought was quite well done. However it also got me to thinking; here is what happens when you let the government take complete control of your life or they force the issue at gunpoint.

In 1830, under President Andrew Jackson, congress approved ( with the lone exception of David Crockett) “The Indian Act” forcing all the native peoples from their lands in Florida and Georgia and the Carolina's, among other places, onto reservations in what is now known as Oklahoma. Over the course of about 15 years estimates are somewhere between 45 thousand to 75 thousand were forcibly removed and led by the army, and local militias, on a long march that brought them onto “Federal Land” otherwise known as reservations. It is written that thousands died along the way and more died of disease and illness shortly after their arrival all because a few powerful people wanted them removed and they had the power and the control.

This is a part of American history, this is fact. Give the government the control and they will destroy you and your world.

It used to be that the left was against the very idea of bigger government. Peace, love, and rock in roll was the mantra of the day. To be left alone by “the man” was the ultimate goal. Somehow this has become switched into thinking that “the man” is the only thing that can help you. The left used to point out these kinds of historical events to prove the point that big government is bad. Now they ignore the history because ,for them, it has become about total control.

I don't understand. Why would you willingly give up your freedoms and liberties for total control by the government. Ask your self this simple question; If socialism is so great why do so many people, in the countries controlled by the socialist/communist, risk life and limb to come to the US? What makes anyone think that because we try it it's going to come out better then it has for the past one hundred years or so? And what makes many of you ,who are intellectuals, educated, or famous, believe that you won't be immune to the inevitable purge of those that the powers that be believe to be dangerous to their control? It has happened every time it's been tried, maybe not immediately, but it does and will happen eventually to you. This is what you want?

If you don't believe it can and will happen ask a Cuban or Chinese refugee or better yet go local and ask the descendants of the Natives that survived the “Trail Of Tears” just how well that worked out for them.

 

Door to Door

 

Well I have heard a rumor that the head donkey, brainless as he seems to be, wants to send out folks to go door to door to try and push for more folks to get stabbed. He seems to be under some sort of delusion, I know, that's an everyday thing with him, that folks aren't getting stabbed because of a lack of info or some sort of lack of available stabbers. I'm not sure what planet he is living on (not sure he knows what one he's on) but all of that is available everywhere, you don't need to waste more money sending folks out to share with people things that they already know. It's not a lack of knowledge of theses things, it's that many folks are awake to the fact that this is an experimental stab, not one that has been approved by the ruling swamp monsters, and there have been some serious reactions, including death, by people who were otherwise healthy. It's not ignorance folks, it's reading and seeing and being aware of the propaganda being laid on everyone.

Back in the dark ages when I was in school (this being another of those pesky fact thingys) I was taught that if you had a bug of some sort, and you recovered from it, that your body had this weird thing called immunity from said bug. This is, I am guessing, is another reason why many folks aren't getting the stab, they learned the same thing in school in what was once called science class or AP and so, with that knowledge, they have no interest in being stabbed.

Now I live in the area that allegedly is the new hot spot in this country for the duck variety, OK in all truth and disclosure I actually live about a hundred miles away from the alleged epicenter, but I have to tell you, I'm not seeing it where I am at. I use the word “alleged” because I don't trust anything that they tell us anymore and around here I have hardly seen anyone wearing a mask of any kind. Hasn't mattered where we have been, and we have been out a lot, folks have been enjoying their God given rights of freedom and there has been little of the fear mongering that I experienced while living along the upper east coast.

So my overall guess is that the powers that be aren't very happy with the fact that they can't control this part of the known universe and they know that most people at this point just are not interested in getting stabbed for a bug that you have a 99.6% survival rate from.

Time will tell but I am guessing that the donkey in mindless charge hasn't a clue as to just how badly this could go for those sent out to coerce folks into compliance. I haven't been here long but I can already tell you that the people around here simply want to be left alone and some of the back roads and folks might just make “Deliverance” let the reader understand, look like a pleasant family vacation..good luck to the poor individuals who will be doing this, they are going to need it.

VAX PASS

 

A bout a year ago rumors started to spread about vaccination passports. Many folks believed that this was nothing but a conspiracy and, in all fairness, it was mostly to be found on alternate news web pages, and it was mocked. Well much has changed in the last year.

It would seem that the rumors aren't so far off after all.

The current donkey occupying that rather pale building in the district has assured us that the government has no plans to implement such a thing so we can all breathe a collective sigh of relief...right? Not so fast dear reader.

What he said was that he would let the markets ( corporations) decide on what was best for their businesses and venues. When you consider that all the major corporations, and businesses are all

tied into globalism, and have a working relationship with China, and add into the mix the simple fact that many in the district, especially the donkey in charge, all have been bought and paid for by them and you have a grand set up for not only a vax passport but also a social credit system as is used by both China and now Israel.

Now I know some of you are still probably thinking that this can't happen here? Really? Have you been asleep for the past year? This isn't just being suggested as a possibility, it is currently being worked on right now. The issue for them isn't what we would want ,they don't care one iota for us, but what is the best way to implement a system that won't be hacked and will give some modicum of privacy. But I am going to guess that in the end they aren't going to care about those things either because it's ultimately about power and control.

I have to say that Israel surprised me with this. Of all the nations in the world, you would think that they would understand the concept of “carrying your papers” or the ostracizing of those who can't or won't get a vaccine, is this going to be the electronic version of the star of David?

I'm not against vaccines per se. But I'm not taking it. I, like many others in the military, were experimented on with vaccines that hadn't been approved. Many became sick as I did, others passed on defects to the children they had afterwards. I don't trust them and I don't care who is living in the pale building, even if it came from the former elephant in chief I wouldn't take it, so that means, according to what they are suggesting, I will become one of those second class citizens and I imagine that I am not going to be alone.

So is this the kind of country/world you really want? Do you really want to be told by the big corporations and the government what you can and can't do based on an unproven shot? And then whats to stop them from adding to those conditions? You don't support the right groups, you write or read the wrong unapproved messages. Perhaps your beliefs are to conservative? Pick your subject. Once this gets started there will be no limit to what they can do.

Speak up and speak loud people. Stop this insanity or the next thing you may be hearing is “papers please” comrade.

Voter ID

 

I am an American. Let me state that quite clearly. I have never spent much time considering the idea that I am any kind of minority, with, perhaps, the exception of my rather unusual name kind of standing out here in the rural boonies of Maine, but still I have always considered myself an American first and foremost as long as I can remember. Today though I am going to consider my “minority” status to speak out at what I consider to be one of the greatest insults put out there by the donkeys in charge.

According to them, those of us who happen to have a bit of a darker pigmentation, are , in a word, ignorant.

Apparently we have no idea of how to get identification. We don't understand the internet or how to look up places that will help you in that endeavor. We don't even know how to use a phone book to look up phone numbers to make appointments for those Id's either. Until this mob took over I never realized just how ignorant I am.

Following this logic I shouldn't own my house or even have a car because both of those things require ID to purchase. I shouldn't own any weapons or have a library card. I shouldn't have been allowed into the military or the VA. Strange that I do have all theses things yet I am to dumb to have proper ID to vote.....

Must have been my wife that got all these things for me, she is 100 percent white after all, so she is that much more intelligent than I am.

The donkeys have been making this argument for decades. Every time someone or a state passes a law that might slow down their quest for ultimate dictatorial power they pull out the minority ( pick the one that is suitable to your cause) card. This time however, stupid “woke” corporations are getting in on the act as well. I call them stupid because it would appear that they don't even read the legislation in question, they just go with what ever the woke crowd or the donkeys tell them is true.

I could care less about MLB or Coke. If all the corporations in question all crash and burn I won't loose a bit of sleep over it but I am getting a bit irritated with this assumption that somehow I, and all others of the darker pigmentation's, are dumber than rocks.

During this last election cycle I received 4 absentee ballot requests from a state I once lived in, a state that doesn't require id. Between my wife. My daughter and myself we could have voted 12 times (we didn't but that's hardly the point here) and then voted here in Maine and no one would known but us.

Voter ID needs to be the law of the land. Not just in a few states but all of them. That's not “racist” that is simple common sense, enough with the pandering, and insults, most of us are not as dumb as you seem to think we are.

What Was The Point?

 

Right now, even as I write this, I should be at a ice fishing derby, as you can guess,obviously, I am not there. No, I am home dealing with the inner demons of war time memory, not really wanting to be around people.

This year it is especially hard. I'm guessing it has much to do with the stress that has been added to everyday life for the past year, as I have witnessed the eroding, rather quickly, of the freedoms that once made the United States the envy of the world and the people being meekly compliant. Not everyone mind you, but enough of the majority of peoples, so as to appear to be everyone.

Which brings me back to the memories of war. I have to ask several questions the first ,and most obvious, is; what was the point? What was accomplished? We certainly didn't go there to win, if we had, with all our technology, it would have been over in 6 months or less. It seems we haven't fought a war to win and truly free people since WW2.

So, again, what was the point? We certainly didn't go because they were of any real threat to us and our way of life and we have become a nation that really doesn't care about it's own freedoms and the constitution that guarantees those God given rights to us.

Since 9/1/1 and the founding of “The Patriot Act” we have steadily given our liberties away, time and again, allegedly for safety. Are you feeling especially safe? Are you enjoying the attack on your freedoms? Do you really enjoy the government regulating every aspect of your life?

Again; what was the point? This past year, and especially in the last couple of months, I have watched as the donkeys, with the assistance of big tech and the media, utterly destroy some of our basic liberties, especially if you don't see things their way, that would have made Stalin proud. We don't like what you have to say so we will silence you. We don't like your religious beliefs so we are going to silence you. We don't like the fact that you own a gun so we are going to take them away through back door methods and the list goes on.

Tell me, what gives the donkeys and the alleged elephant wanna be's the right to do all this?

What was the point in fighting a war to allegedly free people, when we are willingly giving away ours?

Where are the people, in the individual states, that are going to say no, you are not going to do this, you are not allowed? The Constitution is quite clear that the federal government has limited power and that all other powers belong to the individual states. See amendment 10

So once again I ask the simplistic of questions; What was the point? For the rest of my life, I will have to live with the faces and memories of all those who died in combat, young men who were in their prime, cut down in ways that I won't describe here, and those who suffered after, and gave in to their inner demons becoming the 22.

So, finally, I ask, and this is for all veterans since the Korean war, what was the point? If Americans are going to meekly surrender their collective rights, what was the point in trying to “liberate” countries and give them rights that are quickly being taken away?

What was the point.

Butt Hurt

 

Let us set aside the politics of the day and instead speak of being “butt hurt.” Perhaps “butt hurt” is a new term for you so I will try to explain. “Butt Hurt” is another way of essentially saying that you are offended by something that someone else has said, or done, and you want to whine or yell about it. It is usually experienced by those who are not accustomed to others having a differing opinion than their own, and having the nerve of expressing it, either vocally or in writing. This,of course, is a rather loose translation but for this purpose, uncle Iggy's condensed version will do.

A few days ago I posted to my blog and on FB my opinion and views on the so called “Equality Act” I am not here to rehash it, if you wish to read it feel free, if not that's fine, we still live in a partially free society where you are allowed to make those kinds of decisions, so trust me I won't be “butt hurt” either way.

Having said that apparently I did “butt hurt” someone. Worse was that it was at least the second time in the last few months, though I suspect I have done so many times, they just weren't vocal about it until now. This is not an apology for that. I am too old to care if I have “butt hurt” someone because of my views. If you don't like what I have to say you can actually do this weird thing called “scrolling right on by” it's not tough. I do it all the time.

What makes this “butt hurt” so strange is that said individual had “de friended” me some time ago because of a past “butt hurt” but still decided to read what I posted publicly recently. Sorry I don't get that. When I know that someone is likely to be posting something I am not going to like, I find it easier to just go on by, like an adult should do, and move on.

Sadly I don't think this individual understands this concept. Said individual lives in a world that seems to be filled with folks that agree with said individual and the individuals world view on everything and I am not sure said individual knows what it's like to have folks around who disagree with that world view.

I am blessed. I have a large diversity of friends who have various religious back grounds and political views. Many of us don't see eye to eye about a great number of things but some how we can debate a subject, disagree with each other, and still have a beer and a burger with out being “butt hurt.”

So let me simplify this for the two or three of you who might actually read my ramblings. I am all about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. I do not care for any legislation that gives preferential treatment for one group over another, in violation of the Constitution, or that takes away a God given right from one group because the other group doesn't like it or is “ butt hurt” over it.

Simply put if you don't like what I write, and are easily “butt hurt” then just scroll on by, I'm OK with that, and we can go and have that burger later.
