In Bed With the Opposition *

Having just finished a book about Alaska in the early 70s, "Going to Extremes" by Joe McGinniss, the story of his travels in the land of Alaska, a land that reaches into the Arctic Circle and beyond - pure - unadulterated,wilderness country; the tale of his long hike with several others with Ray Bane, a geographical researcher, mapping the primitive, wild reaches of the unimaginable, eye-boggling vastness of the Brooks Range Mts.  and surrounding areas, -70F cold, miles high and tenting, their up-close encounters with several grizzles, I then turned to the Internet for more information about our last acquired state of the United States.  Joe's story certainly enthralled me to the last page.

You ought to read it! It's so good.

Having a long ago interest of heading off to Alaska about the time of the pipeline construction in Prudhoe Bay, this book put new life - interest, enthusiasm into my mind.  Of course, any sensible person knows that the desire to go there is a wasted dream now, even to a fool in my age category but I digress.... I'll get back to the Internet subject.

You know how it is; we tend to surf and jump about, often winding up somewhere totally unrelated to our initial  search. That's what I did.  In my clicks,  I came upon the following article regarding the man convicted of shooting Ronald Reagan, John Hinckley, Jr.

Now I understand many do not spend time reading "that nonsense" (I rarely) of those "Conspiracy Theorists", considered to be the rantings of some 'Nutjob' and having absolutely nothing to do with our daily, personal lives (not always the case, my friend.  Often not the case).

We tend to forget much of what we hear via the big, brainwashing, mainstream news media's - "Why ever not?" - bombardment, day after day of our world's turmoils, can soon become too  burdensome for our minds, and dealing with our daily life.  Thus we push away from the onslaught of it all and need a rest and wanting to take a deep breath of fresh air.  Nevertheless, the bs continues even if we aren't aware of it all.

This article below only emphasized the fact that too often we do not have a clue of what is really going on in the outer reaches of our world, especially of the political scene.

I bet you a nickel this information never showed up on any of the main news channels!  It is a long read but worth your effort, for right now/today there is another one of the  BS hitters, namely a member of the Bush family, the former Florida govenor, is "tentatively" plotting to join the race in our near future to take control of what we can only wish to be our freedom; he and his political cohorts undoubtedly dismissing the 'nonsense' that comes from those silly conspiracy theorists 'out there'.

The grand majority of politicians have a few goals that I believe never enter into thought for the welfare of society nor their obligation for such. Those goals are: control, bulging pockets and ease in their retirement!

Read and judge for yourself.  This is an old news piece but it still has value and knowing the subterfuge that continues day in and day out in the works of the elite to keep control of us, often unsuspecting, ignorant (unversed in...) citizens, it is  well and good to have recall of our past history.  Go to the link below for the entire article.

This man not only tried to assassinate Ronald  Reagan but shot and crippled James Brady, who died this past year, released from his many years in a wheelchair.

"John Hinckley Jr., who shot Ronald Reagan in 1981, is about to be partially released from confinement after testimony from government psychiatrists. Hinckley's family and the family of President George W. Bush have long, complicated ties that have been little reported. Hinckley's brother was scheduled to have dinner at the home of the current President Bush's brother the day after the assassination attempt." 

 

Nov. 26, 2003 - John Hinckley Jr., who has been hospitalized since shooting President Ronald Reagan in 1981, might receive permission any day from a federal judge to make unsupervised visits to his parents' home. Hinckley's family and the family of President George W. Bush have long social, political, and economic ties that have been little reported. Hinckley's brother was scheduled to have dinner at the home of the current President Bush's brother the day after the assassination attempt.........

Partake - A Clue to Knowing *

 "On this earth as beyond this earth you never are alone,
But are in constant company of things and beings
That take a share in your life as you take a share in theirs.
As you seek them, so they seek you.
As you partake of them, so they partake of you."

- Rumi, “The Book of Mirdad”

What is Truth *

Always remember: Your truth is yours alone.  It is what you believe, not necessarily what is actual fact.  It takes an open mind to look within oneself and see that what you think is nonbiased.  When I find that many others see matters just as I do, I can then say I don't stand alone in my own opinion. 

Thoughts *

"The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral, begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy. Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies it. Through violence you may murder the liar, but you cannot murder the lie, nor establish the truth. Through violence you murder the hater, but you do not murder hate. In fact, violence merely increases hate. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that"

Another Loss *

" Mueller had begged him to let her tag along so she could see the suffering firsthand and help, despite the dangers of traveling into the war-torn region. "



Those words are contained in a news story I read on Yahoo today. 

Heartbreaking.

Will the turmoil of our world ever end?

One can hope.  Having hope is that which keeps us striving.
