Wacky Wednesday

Just when you didn’t think things could get any crazier, it does. Again, please don’t consume bleach, Lysol, or store brand disinfectant, or any other product just because that arrogant orange with a bad toupe suggests it. 

There may be another long term solution for the economic crisis, Guaranteed Income or Universal Basic Income. First let’s understand something, this ISN’T Socialism or Communism. It were then we would be required to work. Check out Ushanka Show with Sergy Spunitkov. He grew up in Ukraine during the U.S.S.R. era. I will give you my playlist to his videos on work in the U.S.S.R. It was illegal not to work unless your were retired, sick, or on maternity leave which went six months for paid, and if you could afford another six you could take it. He goes into what happened if you were caught not working without a valid reason. So the idea that free money in Communism and/or Socialism doesn’t exist. This has also been called a Negative Payroll Tax. Whatever they want to call it, it’s money coming to us instead of being wasted on bombs to kill innocent civilians in the Middle East. Also, it’s money not going to Israel who doesn’t need our money with their booming tech industry. 

Joe Biden has been suggesting that Trump can’t legally change the date for the 2020 election. Let’s look beyond this. Why would Biden say something so insane? You could write it off as his onset of dementia. But then you would be missing the obvious ploy here. These elitist bastards are up to something, as usual. They put seeds out before an event happens. Andrew Yang for six months taunted the idea of a universal basic income. That was the corner he hinged his campaign on. He knew he didn’t have a chance of winning. That wasn’t his job to win. His job was to warm people up to the idea of a UBI so once the economy was driven into the ground while we were hunkered down hiding from an invisible virus or cold, the economy and food supply could be completely brought to a dead stop. 



The last article I am going to cover here is one that is very personal to me. There is a Veterans home in Massachusettes called the Holyoke Soldiers’ Home. There have been 70 veterans who died in this home alone. The quality of care should be evident. This is unacceptable and we as a nation owe them better than this.

War Is A Racket

  This is an excellent quick read. If you don’t have ADHD, it’s a quick read. I started this book before Thanksgiving so between the holidays and every day crazy train I finally finished it. Of course, I made notes in each chapter about my thoughts. We’ll see if this helped compared to the chapter-by-chapter review we did on The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man by John Perkins.  Throughout the book, General Butler covers the ins and outs of war. He looks at the financial cost and the human cost. He starts out by explaining how the military-industrial complex was formed. Which I do think is critical. Most people in America don’t understand what the military-industrial complex is. Never mind how it is used. I am not going into detail here just read The New Confessions Of An Economic Hit Man. You will understand the order in which things unfold. The minority of Americans know who profits from war and who doesn’t. General Butler covers that as well. You will notice I said ‘m...

How America Angered God Lust

  We left off at Wrath. Now we will continue this list and finish it out. Sin: Lust This is the sin that nails us all. It is wanting power, pleasure, and money. Not necessarily all of these but one or all.  I grew up in the 1980s so when I think of examples of this particular sin I am reminded of Jim Baker and Jessica Hawn. He was married to Tammy and lusted after two things; money and Jessica. Their lust brought them down in the end. Tammy had her own lust for money that contributed to their downfall.  Ten Commandment:  Thou shall not commit adultery.  Virtue: Chastity Being chaste is recommended by Christ. In the book of Mathew chapters 19: 12 and 22: 20 Christ talks of being chaste. Being chaste teaches discipline. https://youtu.be/7Y8lHwOIu_A
