Validation

Namaste and welcome to another posting for the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. After many years of life and watching and interacting with my fellow humans I have come to a simple and yet profound conclusion about human behavior. It's difficult to be accurate as to what percent it really is, but I'm convinced that at least, if not more than, half of all human interaction is the search for VALIDATION of our own internal beliefs.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word "validate" as: "to support or corroborate on a sound or authoritative basis; to recognize, establish, or illustrate the worthiness or legitimacy of"

Now you may be wondering about my point here. I have written in many of my blogs about self esteem and personal empowerment. I think our own personal insecurities ring out like a bell during our personal interactions with others through our words, our actions, and our non-verbal body language cues. From these I have determined that better than half the time when others talk they are only doing so to seek the validation of their own opinions and belief system through others, be it a spouse, children, coworkers, family, etc. It is one of our intrinsic human traits to want to be heard, listened to, and believed in what we say... we all know this on an unconscious level, even if we are not consciously aware at the time (especially when we are distracted by other emotions like anger and frustration). So basically I'm saying that when people ask for YOUR opinion, they DON'T really want your opinion... I'm saying that they really only want YOU to validate and support their opinion that he/she already formed (even if that opinion hasn't even yet been said out loud and is still in the speaker's head... trust me, it's already been formed and thought out).
This is the reason for MANY of the fights between people. They ask for someone's opinion and get upset when they receive that other person's general worldview. It's not your OWN worldview and I can truly see how this can lead to hard feelings and resentment toward others.

My last point I'm going to add is that I think validation has to do with value, well at least what we feel as self-value or self-worth. I think that many people seek out that external validation for their own thoughts and behaviors because they have little self-esteem to boost their own ego, which is what validation is for: an ego boost. I'm here to tell you NOW, if you are reading this, that YOU HAVE VALUE. YOU HAVE PURPOSE. YOUR LIFE HAS MEANING!!! You just have to believe in yourself and your abilities. Namaste.

BRO-MANCE and BROMO-SEXUALITY

Namaste and welcome avid knowledge seekers. Today I want to talk about bromance. First you must read my blogs to understand that I am NOT homophobic, but actually am a hetero man in favor of homosexual rights. Moving on, I just wanted to quickly digress and discuss the growing trend of bromosexuality in the movies.
Bromosexuality is defined by the Urban dictionary (a source I like to cite often) as: "when guys are really good friends, and they make jokes/talk about each other in ways that are almost homosexual, but not quite."

I am PRO people being true to themselves and coming out of the closet. I hope it doesn't offend anyone, but I just want people to treat others with, not special treatment, but respect, and that includes to yourself. Hollywood has taken advantage of the coming out of the homosexual community and gotten caught up in the bromanticism of it all. I will cite for my opinions the actors and the various movies they star in as follows. James Franco, Seth Rogen, and Danny McBride in particular. YES, they have made some funny films, but I think that they are aiding in the androgyny and confusion of young boys/men today. Straight men do NOT wake up and say lines like "I'm gonna suck today's dick!" or tickle another straight man's penis.
Further examples are boys/men that shave their arms, legs, chest, etc. for no quite understandable reason. Some guys wear makeup and wear skinny jeans or like dressing up in women's clothing. These are generally things done by homosexual men and I find it odd that more people just don't come out of the closet. It's okay to like feminine things as a male, but as I said, it is more important to be true to who you are INSIDE. I've been through school and even in the military there was a big anti-gay vibe going on and I think it is tragic that men AND women have to hide and deny who they are because of negatively biased social standards. If you want people to accept you for who you are, then you must first be true to yourself. I think these guys in these silly movies are bisexual, meaning they like men and women. My only contention is that they are playing hetero roles and confusing hetero boys as to how they are supposed to act. Being a fake homosexual is an insult to those who have that genuine fear of ridicule from coming out of the closet. Whether it is from social stereotypes, judgement, conservative families, etc... there is a real fear for people to be true to who they are inside. Even when we are dating and trying to find a partner, sometimes it is difficult to meet someone with the same perversions or sexual orientation as you. A lot of men think that because they like anal play that means they are homosexual. Whether you are gay or straight really depends on whom you would like to perform sexual acts with. If you want to perform them, or conversely have them performed on you by the SAME gender, then you are homosexual. You can do the same exact thing with the opposite gender and it is hetero. Perhaps it is difficult for men to accept their own sexuality, especially if they are aroused by the same gender. It could indeed cause confusion and negative self thought, depending on socio-economic upbringing and religion.
The most important part of any relationship, be it lovers or just BROMANTIC friends is TRUST, which starts with HONESTY and INTEGRITY. Be true to who you are inside and the right people will want to be around you

NFL

Namaste. Today I want to write a short posting about how ridiculous the NFL experience has become. 

My family and I live in Washington state and our nearest local team is the Seattle Seahawks. We looked up ticket prices with the idea in mind of going to see a professional football game. For just my wife and I to go, with no children whatsoever would have been almost $400. Those aren't even for good seats either, somewhere up in the far nosebleed corner of the top of the stadium. 

Needless to say, since we are not independently wealthy to WASTE money, we are relegated to watching the games on TV. This is my next issue with the NFL. Bear in mind once again that I live in Washington state. So I turn on the TV and BOTH Fox and CBS are nearly EVERY SINGLE WEEK showing a game for an East Coast team like the over-rated New England Patriots or New York Jets. These teams aren't ANYWHERE CLOSE to being a regional game that a person living in Washington would enjoy. As the NFL and the TV networks have proven over and over, THEY JUST DON'T REALLY CARE ABOUT THE FANS... at least not the ones who are too poor to buy an expensive set of tickets for this over-priced debacle of sports entertainment. I formerly lived in Dallas, so I remember well that team owners like Jerry Jones have been quoted as saying they want the NFL on a pay-per-view basis; every game every week. As it were, for someone in my geographical region to watch the games I want to I would have to get a satellite dish  or the NFL network, BOTH of which are stupidly expensive. What's sad is that the NFL itself, including the commissioner Roger Goodell don't really seem to care if they piss off their fans as they are only catering to the wealthy viewers while gouging the non-wealthy ones. AND on top of that the NFL is classified as a non-profit corporation... WTF?!? They make BILLIONS of dollars and pay ZERO in taxes, I'm afraid. Serious bunch of crap there, especially with these whiny over-paid players that get millions of dollars for playing a PART-TIME SPORT/JOB. 

I'm going to take this a step forward and say that I think the NFL, like most sports, is RIGGED and the winners are based on TV RATINGS. It happens to be that the East side of the U.S. is more densely populated and has more NFL teams, so they get pandered to and their games shown every week despite other viewers living on the other coast. Obvious bias is shown to the teams like the Patriots, Jets, and Giants in particular. Teams like Kansas City, St. Louis, or Minnesota will NEVER get a fair shot because of the lack of television market viewership. 

My last point I would like to make is that I think the NFL's policy against cannabis/marijuana is a bunch of horse shit. If I understand this correctly, as I usually do, the NFL's policy is that a player can get arrested for domestic violence (player beating his wife) and get a less harsh penalty/suspension than someone who smoked a joint for relaxation, PROBABLY from having sore bones and muscles from playing such a violent and brutal sport. So the one guy who smoked pot didn't get arrested, didn't smear the image of the NFL in any way, and didn't hurt a single other person is punished HARSHER?!? No other drugs were found in this player's system. But it's okay to get shit faced on alcohol and beat your wife bloody. How is that better than recreational marijuana use, Roger Goodell?!?

Do I hate the NFL? NOT AT ALL. It's just become more like pro wrestling where the drama is scripted and the winner is already decided before the match takes place. Since there are no games on the local networks... fuck it... that just frees up more time to spend time with my family and work on the remodeling of my home. This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse. Have a nice day!

Anxiety and Depression

Namaste and welcome friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers to another posting for the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. I first want to say that this subject is extremely painful. I have taken dozens of pills over many years to help with the symptoms brought on by Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depression.

As I begin to write this, the thought occurs to me to stop because my heart is already beating faster for reasons I cannot fathom. I have to calm myself from not hyperventilating at times. Life feels at times to be cursed rather than blessed when you have anxiety and depression. A chemical imbalance of serotonin, I'm told is the cause. It hurts when others that you love, who don't understand are dismissive and disrespectful, blowing you off because they think you are being "negative", rather than just listen... that's all EVERYONE wants... but especially when you are afflicted with mental illness. The triggers of an attack on one's mind are VERY REAL. The reaction to those stimuli may or may not be equally appropriate. However, I again assert that the negative reaction made by loved ones in THEIR response to the sufferer can  be just as detrimental. The reactions of others (including family members), as made by the anxious person, are often deemed as apathetic and uncaring. Rather than constantly be argued with, much like with a counselor or psychologist, most of the time the person just wants to feel as if they are listened to and validated for their concerns.
It is our common reaction as human beings to shun away from things that bring displeasure and negative emotions. When you have a loved one who is mentally ill, there must be exceptions made; a greater effort from the supporting family to both actually UNDERSTAND what is going on, AND a greater effort to HELP the family member who is afflicted. It is common for the one with anxiety to feel alienated and lose that connection with loved ones when it feels like nothing matters or no one listens. When a person feels alienated, unappreciated, that NOTHING MATTERS, or that no one listens, this can lead to feelings of hopelessness, depression, and MORE ANXIETIES.
Above all, no one wants to be treated condescendingly. We already know there is no cure for our issues and we don't need a constant reminder as to why YOU or anyone else thinks that we are wrong for our OWN thoughts and feelings. It HURTS when a family member diminishes the value of your anxiety, especially by arguing with you or hurting your feelings. YES, I can concur that it is counter-productive to attempt to placate the individual by agreeing with him/her arbitrarily... but the idea is to make the process easier which, hopefully will decrease the overall level of anxiety, not just with the one person, but with the family, in general.
What really hurts this whole process is that kids, in particular, just don't give a shit. They are spoiled, lazy, apathetic, negative, and flat out MEAN at times... kinda like adults. NO, I'm not saying everyone is bad. We ALL have our moments of weakness where we succumb to the pressures of life. This is normal. But it's bad enough when it feels like the ENTIRE WORLD is going to shit... at these times we NEED our family to be the ones to HELP, NOT HINDER our recovery from this debilitating illness.
It is easy to give up and fall into habits that are self-defeating. This is why we need the support of our families. Family and home are meant to be the people and place that an individual is supposed to be able to be his/her SELF, without having to be fake, without having to be judged, and without having MORE anxieties that lead to MORE depressive episodes and/or other self-defeating behaviors. Home is supposed to be our castle, our protection, our shelter of zen happiness and peacefulness. But what happens when are homes are chaotic and destructive to our already broken psyche? It's NOT good.


Anxiety, to me is like this: You know that sound that is made by a person scratching their fingers on the surface of a chalk board? It's mind-bending, obnoxious, and sometimes infuriating. Well, anxiety is sort of like that, except in YOUR HEAD; instead of a chalkboard there are stimulations, often many of them, that trigger our brains to go into that gritty chalkboard scratching. Worry becomes stress, which leads to a panic, which leads to attempt at control, which causes more fear, which causes labored breathing, increased heart rate, muscle tension, loss of energy and again, MORE ANXIETY. What makes this condition so horrible is that you are often the cause of your own problem. But you don't need to be told that. Society is ALREADY judging you just because you are behaving different. This causes more anxiety and often the desire to be separate FROM society. This hurts more and more because we are social creatures and we intrinsically desire our fellow humans to not just care, but to appreciate us as well.

HELP! When life is spiraling out of control, it is difficult to regain perspective. Sometime the episodes of anxiety and depression can last a LONG time. Family members who do not understand need to exert some level of empathy in dealing with the afflicted loved one. Arguing, yelling, fighting, or ignoring the issue(s) WON'T HELP! Trying to FORCE the person suffering to "see the light" of YOUR PERCEIVED TRUTH is condescending and counter-productive. These things are cyclic. This too shall pass. The MAJORITY of the time, the sufferer will realize on their own the perspective to calm his/her self. All you have to do is be PATIENT, LISTEN, and SUPPORT your loved one UNCONDITIONALLY!!!
We CAN get through this TOGETHER. It's going to be difficult. I need your patience, your love, and your ears. Listen to me. Value me. Respect me. HELP ME.
This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.

Can There Be A Separation of Church and State?

Namaste and welcome to another edition of the Quiet Mouse Strikes back.
"The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in  blood for centuries."
- James Madison, 4th President
"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
- George Washington, 1st President
"Christianity may be good and Satanism evil. Under the Constitution, however, both are neutral. This is an important, but difficult, concept for many law enforcement officers to accept. They are paid to uphold the penal code, not the Ten Commandments... The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by religious zealots in the name of God, Jesus, and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement, but few can argue with it."
- Carl Sagan, author and scientist
"Almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so."
- Robert A. Heinlein, American author
"If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be one nation gone under."
- Ronald Reagan, 40th President

I started out with some quotes to get my readers thinking about the topic of the blog. Now, I'm gonna throw a curve ball and state that I don't think there can EVER be a true separation of church and state because in reality the CHURCH IS THE STATE. Think about that one for a second.
In the United States of America, approximately 77% of the population considers itself to be Christian. Throughout history, especially in Europe through the dark ages of the last 2000+ years there was NO clear boundary between the church and state. Often, in fact, the religion acted as a tool to further the whims of the state, and their holy book, the Bible, was often edited, like in the example of the King James Bible, based upon who was in charge at the time, and what they wanted to accomplish... generally this had to do with taxation, fealty, and the threat of penalty for dissent against the government/church state. In fact, still to this day judges continue to wear robes in court (as well as making you swear on the Bible) because the original court system FOR the state was done BY the church and its officials, who acted as judge, jury, and executioner... any dissent was considered a crime punishable by DEATH or torture. Beyond the fact that religion claims to be infallible and beyond the scope of government or the people, there are many more similarities with government than they would like to admit...
CHURCH v. STATE
1) BOTH claim all-encompassing authority over the land and the people within.
2) BOTH claim to be the authority over morality and judgement.
3) BOTH are large organizations that CLAIM to serve the people.
4) BOTH are 100% funded by citizens of nations.
5) BOTH claim to have gotten their power from a HIGHER AUTHORITY.
6) BOTH claim to be a path of salvation for millions.
7) BOTH discriminate and spread disinformation as it serves their interest.
8) BOTH are hung up on trivial issues like abortion and homosexual rights.
9) BOTH threaten punishment for failure to follow their "code of ethics".
10) BOTH threaten long term consequences for these violations.
11) BOTH have sanctioned wars and murdered innocents based on their biased beliefs.
12) BOTH are more concerned with their own agendas than the will of the people who fund them.
13) BOTH hold their meetings in large buildings where their agenda and creed is preached from a pulpit.
14) BOTH have an over-inflated sense of self-importance.
15) BOTH are fully capable and DO rationalize bigotry, ethnocentrism, war, theft, and murder... often BOTH in the name of GOD...

I could probably go on, but I think my reading audience will understand the point I'm trying to make. In a certain geographical area, the predominant religion also becomes the predominant government philosophy. It is no different in Muslim or Jewish controlled nations.
It is a novel idea to separate church and state, but the practical application is much more difficult. It is this way because the very citizens that make up the government happen to be predominantly of that religion. In this nation that is 3/4 Christian, our political representatives are mostly Jewish, Catholic, and Protestant to a lesser degree. Right now there are NO Protestants holding position on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Lastly, look at our money and see that it says "In God we trust"... clearly NOT a separation of church and state. Also, we can look directly at the Bible to see that there is no separation of Christianity from the State.
Romans 13: "Let every soul be subject to governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement upon themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil..."
THINK and be FREE. This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.

In Such A FAKE World, What Is REAL?

Namaste and thank you for joining me today. Let's jump right down the rabbit hole, shall we, Alice?

How do we know what is real vs. what is fake in this day and age? We are constantly bombarded and inundated with images of what we are told is real, but is it all just some manipulated idealistic fantasy?
When we turn on the television how do we know what to believe; what is real vs. televised PROGRAMMING. There is a reason they are called PROGRAMS... because society is being slowly programmed to believe what they see on the idiot box is "real", while they are taught to believe that what is REAL is some kind of damn "CONSPIRACY THEORY". Whole generations of people are being reared by the television that is fully equipped with fake "canned laughter", impossible scenarios where the characters never have to go to real jobs, cook, or clean anything, since they all unrealistically have maids; where money is not an issue and everyone is FAKE happy. The ILLUSION of the HOLLY-WOOD leads people to live unhappy, unfulfilled, and unproductive lives as they always strive to live life as the FAKE movie characters or TV actors do. Then the sheeple act all surprised when the REAL person, not the actor/actress's character you loved so much on TV, turns out to be a drug addict or alcoholic or beats their spouse. Perhaps we should not put people without merit up on pedestals?!?

In a matter of what I think personally is pure disgrace, the music industry is one of the MOST FAKE institutions in the world. In MY lifetime, I have read, the amount of actual music being made is down by over 30%, that is people ACTUALLY playing REAL instruments and creating REAL melodies. The reason for this is the over-use of synthesized music created by computers and mixed, sampled, and over-layed tracks that all sound alike are CHEAP and QUICK to turn out a new pop star flavor-of-the-week; a new face to be exploited for their 15 minutes of shame. If they even sing at all, chances are they are lip syncing... and God knows that person didn't write his/her own music or song lyrics.

Society has become distracted and blind to the REAL world that is all around us. Religion has become a perverted puppet of the STATE system, edited and butchered from its' original higher purpose of enlightening souls, now only a tool of the system to keep citizens in a sort of checks and balances; claiming to be the all-encompassing authority on morality and spirituality, which in REALITY is just riddled with false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing committing blatant spiritual abuse.
Our peripheral senses are even distracted and blind to the enormous reality that looms like an elephant in the room. Our 5 basic senses are only able to perceive about 1% of the world around us, yet there are some who believe they have it all figured out because their ONE book tells them a different story that is constantly being proven wrong by science. The religious institutes spend a lot of YOUR money and THEIR time trying to sell you on an image: the way you behave, think, act, dress... in order to belong and fit in.

Even the food we eat has become so processed and FAKE as companies like Monsanto defile the natural order of the planet by creating Genetically Modified Organisms or GMO foods. Our food is loaded with refined carbs, sugars, fillers, and preservatives while destroying the nutritional content, poisoning us with their pesticides and other toxic chemicals that leave consumable residue on the food. Our feed animals are being pumped full of antibiotics to fight infection from standing in their own feces (SHIT!) at the CAFO (Concentrated Animal Feed Operation) before sending them to the slaughterhouse . They are given artificial hormones to make their muscles swell, particularly in chickens where more people want to eat the WHITE MEAT. EVERYONE likes the BIG BREASTS!

Lastly, WE as humans are pretty damn FAKE, sometimes. Many many women wear FAKE-up (makeup) like a mask, becoming a different person to hide the insecurities within. If you don't like who you are, you can damn near become an entirely new person these days. If you don't like being a man, you can have plastic surgery to become a woman, and vice versa. If you don't think your boobs are big enough because you see the success of bimbo's on TV, you can get plastic surgery. You can take an endless supply of pills to make your penis bigger, to make your stomach settle after a gluttonous meal of those refined carbs and sugars. You can get bariatric surgery like a stomach stapling or a lap band when you've become grossly obese. If you are to skinny or scrawny, you can take steroids to beef up, or conversely you can run like a rat on a treadmill to lose weight. We are all just looking for a little edge to make us seem different, our annonymity has made us afraid, while our souls desire companionship and truth. YET...
FAKERS fraudulently lie, cheat, and steal from one another. They gossip and convince themselves of the lie to protect fragile egos because it is easier to believe a beautiful lie than a painful truth. Fakers build up all of these constructs and change their paradigms to fit in with this alternate version of reality that we are stuck in, so eloquently referred to as the Matrix. NO, I don't believe we are stuck in a computer world, but rather one that was built on truth, but has been demolished and rebuilt upon lies and fear, the tools of the corrupt and evil to control the lives of over 7 billion inhabitants on this tiny blue rock floating through outer space.
Consciousness in the NOW is the ONLY thing that is real. The past is gone, the distant future is NEVER set in stone, all we have is NOW. Don't waste the now being fake. Be who you ARE, everyone else is already taken.
This has been the one and only Quiet Mouse.

Are We NOT Entertained?!?

Namaste and welcome to another posting for this enigmatic blog: the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. I decided to make the title of this blog a play on a quote from the Russel Crowe movie "Gladiator". The reason I did this is because of how much the Roman Empire reminds me of my own home country, the United States of America... which is truly ANYTHING BUT being "united" in much except for the desire to be nearly CONSTANTLY ENTERTAINED. So again I will repeat the question... Are we not entertained???


We spend a LOT of time and a LOT of $$$ money $$$ on being entertained as a culture. A lot of money is put into advertising to reach out to the audience that is being entertained to sell a product or an image. Nearly 365 days a year we are inundated with almost non-stop sports, be it baseball, basketball, football, soccer (international futbol like the FIFA World Cup), wrestling, Nascar, hockey, or even the Olympics (although they are every 4 years). We also have 24/7/365 television with hundreds of channels, ALL advertising, and ALL trying to sell a product; their "brand". Are we not entertained?

The movie industry has been trying to sell the corporate driven industry for a long time now. There are BIG BUCKS in this business and they put out their product to entertain the bored masses. If that won't work then I'm sure magazines, newspapers, and the Internet will be sure to alleviate the endless boredom.
If all else fails, the masses can ALWAYS resort back to blind CONSUMERISM. That always seems to make the boredom go away: to buy things you don't need, that you can't afford, to impress people you don't like. Sounds reasonable to me. Are we not entertained?

I feel as if there is this giant gaping hole in our nation, nay, the world at large. We try to fill that gap with endless entertainment, attempting to cure the boredom and apathy that has engulfed us all. But life becomes increasingly tedious and boring when we have to go to pointless jobs that are equivalent to a rat running around a wheel in its' cage, and when our normal day to day functions don't provide us with our four basic human necessities.
1) Mental
2) Physical
3) Spiritual
4) Emotional/Psychosocial

If our daily lives are not providing for these needs, then our lives seem unfulfilled, and we seek out alternative remedies and relief from our woes. It is easy to turn to addictive behaviors, which I will even go out on a limb and say that I think many people are addicted to their televisions, cell phones, or computers, much in a similar way that an addict is addicted to heroin or cocaine. Regardless of the trigger, your body is STILL releasing dopamine and serotonin... so I really must ask what the differences are? Are we not entertained?

Have the pharmaceuticals and drugs not numbed us enough? Has the television and Internet with endless sports and streaming movies not distracted us enough? Haven't we lost sight of the bigger issues? Have we just traded in our empathy for apathy? Are we not entertained? Or are we just passing time, wasting our energies on gossip, "celebrity" trivialities, false idol worship, and passing fads?

These are just my questions and my thoughts, certainly not the ponderances of the mass sheeple. Then, we have the issues with how all this entertainment, namely overt sexuality in the media, is effecting our family lives and our children. But hey, at least we are entertained...

Illegal Immigration

I want to preface this blog with some information:
1) I am not racist. I think there are pros and cons to every ethnic group and to people in general.
2) My own ancestry immigrated to the United States from Scotland during the Irish potato famine (Which effected the entire UK). Along with his two brothers he did this LEGALLY. In fact, he actually had to work as an indentured servant (basically a slave/ and he was white) to pay off the cost of his voyage to this land of opportunity.
3) Right, wrong, or otherwise the United States Army WON the Spanish American War which is why we now own the southwest part of this nation, i.e. California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. The Mexican claim to these lands is now null and void as our lands and territories are secured by threat of military force, same way we won those lands to begin with.


Welcome to another edition of the Quiet Mouse Strikes back. I know this is a sensitive topic, but I'm just the kind of guy to step on toes and piss people off at times. Today might be one of those days. I want to continue what I typed above by saying that I don't think the Native American Indians are a good example for how we should deal with the current immigration issue. In fact, I honestly get really tired of hearing that argument come up nearly EVERY TIME people talk about the illegal Hispanics entering our nation at an alarming rate.

YES, it IS fucked up what the original white settlers did to the natives. YES, it IS fucked up that we stole their lands, murdered millions of them with guns, alcohol, and disease. YES, it IS fucked up that now they are on the verge of extinction as a culture... YES, it IS fucked up and true that this nation was founded on the oppression of colored people and still holds true to this day... This is ALL true...
However, hundreds of years later we have developed a society on these lands with clear cut rules and regulations about immigration that were set up for the sole purpose to maintain and limit population growth on the American plantation.
When this nation was founded we oppressed the native culture. A short while later we oppressed European immigrants. Then we oppressed the black slaves brought over by traders from Africa. And now we are as a nation oppressing MOST of the third world nations, including those south of our border. The common theme here is that this nation runs on cheap slave labor and has since its' inception.
Some of my readers may remember, but for those of you who don't, allow me to illuminate our recent past. In the 1960's with men like Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X, the black American people were beginning to organize together for the sake of their people for equality. They stood together and said "HELL NO! WE AREN'T DOING THESE JOBS ANY LONGER FOR SHITTY WAGES AND UNEQUAL TREATMENT!" Since this nation was founded on inequality and oppression, the rich oligarchy decided to import cheap unskilled laborers from places like Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, among others, to fill the work positions that were now vacant. After all white people didn't want to work in the fields picking fruits and vegetables. White people didn't want to scrub toilets or dump trash, among other shitty jobs... And now, neither do the blacks... but yet someone must do these jobs.

Fast forward a short bit and now we have a border crisis with Mexico where armed illegals are coming over by the truck/busload in order to escape their hellhole countries that have been destabilized by our overbearing economy... so the only place they can get meaningful work is from the very nation that oppresses them. It may seem like otherwise, but the TRUTH is that our government is actually allowing this to happen because they WANT it to happen. IT'S ALL PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE that many fail to see because they cannot see the forest from the trees. It's part of the plan to destabilize the American way of life. Part of the plan to make America, along with the rest of the world, a third-world nation that can be easily controlled by the Illuminati regime, New World Order, Zionist movement, or whatever you want to call it... the agenda is the same. It is a pyramid scam to destroy the stability of economic nations like ours to the point where a small handful of powerful individuals can run the entire world in a massive form of global feudalistic communism, sprinkled with some capitalism. As long as you keep buying the product, they'll just keep selling it to you.

Here's the part that is gonna be offensive, if it hasn't been already. It is NOT our job as a nation to police the world. It is NOT our job as a nation to provide welfare to the world. Nope. It is NOT our job as a nation to provide an existence to the citizens of OTHER nations. If you are NOT a citizen of this nation, then you shouldn't get the rights of a citizen. PERIOD. I'm gonna repeat that again but in different words. ONLY CITIZENS SHOULD GET THE RIGHTS OF CITIZENS!!! My family immigrated LEGALLY from Scotland, had to learn the local language and customs, at least enough to PASS a citizenship exam. My ancestor Laughlin even was given a tract of land in Kansas for service during the Civil War fighting for the Union (North).

I want you to please read my previous blog "No Taxation Without Representation #3". All government programs are 100% tax payer funded, so when the government, against the wishes of the citizens, gives away YOUR money to pay for indigent, lazy, illegal immigrants to get a FREE RIDE, by providing welfare, social security, food stamps, and even citizenship, ILLEGALLY... that HAVE NOT BEEN EARNED BY PAYING TAX DOLLARS INTO THE SYSTEM... well, this is CRIMINAL and TREASONOUS. PERIOD. We are already facing alarming citizen unemployment rates and yet THOUSANDS of illegals keep flooding across the border while our puppet politicians do NOTHING to stop it.
Let's make something clear though... I have no problem with Hispanics. I love their work ethic, their food, and even their culture. I draw the line at the point where they REFUSE to acclimate to our culture in even the most simplest of ways like learning our culture, language, and customs (see my "Dial #2 for WTF?" blog). I'm from Texas and I can tell you without a doubt that the illegals are trying to take back the south that was lost in the Spanish American War. IF they want to come over and be LEGAL citizens, then that is GREAT! They can suffer with us by paying taxes and having to WORK for a living instead of killing our living wage to where Americans cannot even afford to take care of their families because they have to compete with SLAVE WAGES that are given ILLEGALLY by corporations trying to increase their profit margins. So they fire hard working Americans and bus in illegals to work for pennies on the dollar compared to an American worker they would have to pay a fair wage to. We are competing with slave wages folks!
The greed of the industrialists, bankers, and corporate giants is really going to be the death of the world in general, but for the purposes of THIS blog, it really IS destroying our nation, it's economy, and it's citizens. If they want to be LEGAL citizens, then FINE, bring them over by the busload, teach them English and make them pay taxes. Otherwise, we need to send them back to their own nations. This may sound cruel, but it is our job as Americans to take care of Americans, not Mexicans... That's Mexico's job. What we are really getting from all this illegal immigration is MORE crime with Mexican gangs and illegal drug trafficking, MORE Americans losing jobs. MORE unemployment. MORE spiralling debt. And weaker border protection. Yet ANOTHER failed policy of our Dictator in Chief Barry Soetoro, a.k.a. Barrack Obama.
Many ignorant sheeple will just call this another "CONSPIRACY THEORY", but there IS a sinister plot in our government, infiltrated by these Zionist Illuminati collaborators to destroy our nation from within using economic slavery, and a slow CHANGE toward communism, thanks to our failures of electing puppet politicians to represent us... when they really just represent those who sign THEIR paychecks, the real power oligarchy rather than "We the people..."
Stand up for your rights as a citizen, lest they be taken away!
