Humpty Trumpty had a great fall ....

                                                           Wars expose Flaws, Flaws in the Civilization, Flaws in the Society and Flaws in the Culture but not just these, but Flaws in Individuals as well .   Elsewhere I have proffered that the turning away from Reason and toward Instinct is DE-Evolutionary .  To be driven by Instinct is to be Animalistic, that is, to Deny one's HUMANITY .   This is where trump is, his Actions are those of a 'something' that denies Humanity and favors Animalism*, the so-called "dog-eat-dog" mental complex that PUNISHES Humanity for being, in its eyes, weak .  We speak of "Top Dog" because it supplies an understanding that on an elementary level we are all animals and that Ferocity is the Highest "Value" .   

                            I am one who insists that we NEED 'Animal Ferocity' in order to not only subdue our own Passions but to use CONTROLLED Ferocity to leverage or advance our           Standing, our 'Position' in our Society and Culture .   Trump seeks to REMOVE our Standing, meaning, he seeks to DESTROY OUR INDIVIDUAL WORTH, made OBVIOUS by his >Attention< to the Voting that IS a Pillar ( dare I say Battlement ) of American POWER .   Here it is where WE as INDIVIDUALS must now exert TREMENDOUS FEROCITY in order to Withstand trump's Onslaught and OVERCOME his Intent .  

                           There's a great line ;   "I hate people but I LOVE Humankind" .

                           Ain't no one gonna come and Rescue Us .   We gotta do "It" ourselves .

                           Remember, "The HARDER they come, the HARDER they fall--- that's all" .

                           "WE" Defeated Hitler, trump will be next .

Soft-ness

                                                           WE are the Peoples that History will record, our INACTIONS* and our ACTIONS have ---> Consequences, the so-called "End-Result(s)" that Determine  Civilizational Trajectory , both "for Better and for Worse" .   It is heartening for me to see that Folks have taken to the Facebook to voice their Concerns which in brutal and savage Truth, are OUR Concerns .   They want to make certain we are getting the Truth .   They speak with Passion, where Passion is a Form of Love, a Love for their Homeland, a Love for Peace and a Love for JUSTICE .  I LOVE their LOVES .  I must insist that Patriotism is also a Form of Love, despite its 'Abstract' Nature .  We and They BELIEVE in America, that IT is at its core ---> Good .   Can America's Goodness be PROVEN ?   It has been so in the Past ,,,, America has been not only Kind but GENEROUS, as the 60's and 70's TRIED to Prove with all Its "Gifts" to 3rd World Countries and the like .   America WANTED to >Share< its Largess and did so with UNIVERSAL American Sanction .   That "IT" is referred to as "Soft" Power. We were SOFT ---luxuriously so .

The Earth Mental Dynamic

                                                           I am inclined to Believe that We are in a Time Zone where History is being made on a Cataclysmal Level, meaning, the Surrender of the Germans, Italians, and Japanese was the Origin of a New World Order, the OLD was Defeated by the Violent Goodness of Unified Effort to stop a MADMAN from literally trying to Exterminate an entire People, HIS OWN COUNTRYMEN, from Existence here on Earth .   Goodness "Won" -----but Sorrowfully,,,, "IT" didn't end There .   Nazi-ism survived, Fascism survived, Dictator-ism* survived .   There's this :  "You can't kill Ideas, you can't kill Ideologies" for the very Reason that they {somehow} exist as part of the Earth Collective, meaning, just by their very Nature as Mental Fabrications, Abstracts, as it were,,  they are Part of the Mind of Earth .  Recall the Taxonomic Hierarchy that places Humans as ANIMALS --->  FIRST .   It's UGLY but the Mind of Earth has Combat as an Instinct, an ANIMAL Instinct, which binds us to the Law of the Jungle, which is perhaps the First Law of Earth Mental Dynamics .  If we don't kill, we don't eat .  

                               There's a School of Thought that insists that the consumption of animal flesh was NECESSARY for our brains to grOW, had we not become carnivores we couldn't have become what we are today, "Self-Aware" Intelligents* .  "That's just the way it is", as Bruce Hornsby and the Range have identified .

"No questions asked..."

                                                          One of my neighbors said this :  "2nd Graders have a built-in bullshit detector";  another neighbor resigned, "Our society does not do well with Honesty" .    The first statement stopped me 'dead in my tracks', while the second "floored" me .   

                              I walked away from both,,, shaking my head in uncertainty .   I wasn't buying the first, I mean, I WANTED to Believe but there wasn't enough Evidence to satisfy my Mind, the second just HURT .   I argue that we must be TAUGHT what is Good, and what is Bad, as well as the DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE TWO .   "IT" doesn't end with that, we must be Taught HOW to differentiate between the two, to Learn WHY one is 'better' than the other and then we must be TRAINED to adhere to the GOOD, REGARDLESS of Personal Consequences, as long as our Sacrifice buoys the Health and Welfare of our Society and Culture .   We Must learn that to Benefit the Common Good SHOULD BE the Ultimate Goal of Individual Attainment {Achievement} .   I BELIEVE Kennedy had it Right "Ask NOT what your country can do for you,,,,,,, ask what can I do for my Country" .   Idealism at its raw Best .

                                They KILLED Kennedy for his Words, the Right wanted NO PART of Political Commiseration, NO PART of COLLECTIVE Benefit .   His EXECUTION altered the Trajectory of a once Promising Union .  

What does Step One Look Like ?

                                                           Yesterday I heard one of the most punishing statements since trump got elected, it is this : "There are kids out there who know only trump."  .   We're talkin' school children, those of the "impressionable age", kids, that because of their age, do NOT have the experience nor knowledge to defend their own minds, and therefore are susceptible to ALL the bullshit, piss and corruption that is w-i-d-e-band broadcast throughout the day .   We want to believe they were born into Innocence but that Innocence was short lived .   To them Corruption IS --->  NORMAL .   The Present Day Status Quo is all they know, such is the Foundation of their Adult Life .

                           There are Questions .   We can't arrest folks because of their religious convictions, should we then attempt to arrest those of POLITICAL >Convictions< ?   We DEFINITELY can't arrest folks for being dumb or Stupid, for that matter, but if they steadfastly refuse to Believe what is TRUE and that Truth SHOULD be the Bedrock for the Foundations and Institutions of Society, Culture and Civilization itself, what can be done to Change their Minds that they may receive and ACCEPT the Truth ???   

                          Good Question ... .

Choice

                                                           In the 'Cosmic Scheme of Things' I want to blame TV for the present condition of what use to be America .   However, to scrutinize that 'blame' would take some time, and I don't have the time to defend my assertion, at least today {this week, this month or this year] .   Instead, I want to get something "off my chest" .   Here it is :   Trump is UGLY, and if you voted for trump, YOU are UGLY as well .   That's it ... .

                             Elsewhere I have contended that each and every one of Us contain "The All of Everything", meaning, within our Minds and Bodies are ALL the Elements necessary to Create Life, Mother Nature has GUARANTEED our Continuation by encoding each cell with the Universe's "Blue-print" .   In this, we are both Infinitely Beautiful AND Infinitely Ugly, "you can't have one without the other" .    I remind my Gentle Readers, trump and all his bullshit is within each and every one of us as is Jesus, Buddha and Mohammed, as well as GOD, ESPECIALLY the "Spirit of God".   We are Blessed and Cursed at the exact same Time .   This is the Human Lot .

                            We must make a Determination ;  are we to reside in our Beauty and the Beauty of the Universe or are we to  reside in Ugliness, the Filth and Squalor of >Self-Imposed< Corruption ?

Brain child

                                                          I wanted to begin this morning's Considerations with one of my favorite lyric-lines which I thought we from the 70's Rock Group >Cream< but learned it was from Booker T. and William Bell off their album "WHEELS OF FIRE" :  it is

                              "If I didn't have BAD Luck, I wouldn't have ANY Luck at all ."   --- which I wanted to stage to read, If trump didn't have  BAD  Attention  he wouldn't have any Attention at all--- clearly a falsity .   He would get Attention but NOT the GOOD Attention that Normal Folks value .   

                              I hesitate to use :  trump is >ducking< his Responsibility ... it's >fowl< if not dramatically odious .  

                               BUT     it's that kind of morning and I can't {won't} Alp myself .

                               Last One is from Groucho Marx  :  "He has the brain of a four year old---and he                                                                                                           was glad to be rid of it ".
