                                                                           49. Ko  /  Revolution  ( Molting )

                                 "Political revolutions are extremely grave matters .  They should be undertaken only under stress of direst necessity, when there is no other way out .  Not everyone is called to the task, but only the man who has confidence in the people, and even he only when the time is ripe .  He must then proceed in the right way so that he gladdens the people and, by enlightening them, prevents excess .   Furthermore, he must be quite free of selfish aims and must really relieve the need of the people .  Only then does he have nothing to regret ."

                                                                             * * *

                                   When we have tried in every way to bring about reforms, but without success, revolution becomes necessary .  But such a thoroughgoing upheaval must be carefully prepared .   There must be available  man who has the requisite abilities and who possess public confidence .  To such a man we may well turn .   This brings good fortune and [so] is not a mistake .  The first thing to be considered is our inner attitude toward the new condition that will inevitably come .   We have to go out and meet it, as it were .  Only in this way can it be prepared for ."

                                                                              * * *

                                   "Radical changes require adequate authority .  A man must have inner strength as well as influential position .  What he does must correspond with a higher truth and must not spring from arbitrary or petty motives ;   then it brings good fortune .   If revolution is not founded on such inner truth, the results are bad, and it has no success .  For in the end men will support only those undertakings which they feel instinctively to be just ."  

                                    

Spear It

                                                           One must ask, "If the I Ching is so fucking GREAT, why isn't it used in China NOW ?" .   And there's this corollary :   If the Vedas are so GREAT why doesn't India use THEM as the Foundation of Governance ?   These Civilizations are perhaps the OLDEST Living Organisms on the Planet .  Recall that Great Britain spent ONE HUNDRED YEARS in India to bring it out of a Stone Age and into  Modernity, and they STILL shit in the streets of New Delhi .   China, has COMMUNISM for its Government, and IT is still considered OPPRESSIVE by World Standards .   When we add the Civilization of Persia, and the Civilization of Israel we can see the Quran and the Bible as being grossly Ineffective as well .   I have stated elsewhere that the American "Constitution of the United States" and its "Declaration of Independence"  are as >Bibles< and they, too, have not fared any better , indeed, it is as if they have made things WORSE .  

                               Philosophy aint enough, BOOKS aint enough so what IS Required so that Humankind can Advance into an Age of Stability, Providence, and Peace ?     2 words :   Spiritualism .

Miss Represent

                                                            Some time ago I described my Brain as a ">landfill< the size of Oklahoma" .    This morning I 'rooted around' and found nothing worthy of presentation .   I mean, there's just SOOOOOO much SHIT .   I have been assailed by Doubts and Misgivings that manifest as 'legit' Questions regarding "Planetarianism"* specifically Questions about the I Ching and the Value I have placed on it to be as a "Bible" for the Conduct of both the Individual and the Society and Culture of the Government "writ large" .   I hear this : "If the I Ching is so fucking AWESOME [then] why isn't it a prominent Feature of our Education and the Social and Political Classes ?"   When I hear this Question I also `hear` this REDNECK attack :  "If you're so fucking smart [then] WHY AINT YOU RICH ?"   Valid Questions, both .

                             There's that scene in "Good Will Hunting" where Minnie Driver asks Matt Damon about how EASY it is to solve the most DIFFICULT Equations WITHOUT ANY  Effort .   Damon uses Beethoven as an example .  He says, "When Beethoven was a kid and he saw his first piano, IT JUST MADE SENSE TO HIM .  He looks at Minnie and and rues, "It's the same for me ."   Minnie just shakes her head .   Now when I read the I Ching, ALL of "IT" made Sense to me, even the "ideograms' .   The fact that the Chinese harnessed their Imagination in their their ideograms, as though ART was an ESSENTIAL COMPONENT in their Writing, appealed to me in the UTMOST "Sense" .   Indeed, Chinese Calligraphy IS Art in one of Art's most Pure Forms .   I LOVED  "IT" .

                              I have digressed, Sorry .

Decline and Fall Clean-up

                                                           I must abbreviate this morning's Effort ~~~  Fall Clean-up is underway, and the suffocating humidity has itself evaporated, leaving the Air Fresh, Crystal Clear and EXCEEDINGLY Healthy --- I am almost excited about getting out and starting up .

                               Iran has been blatant, they will NOT try and end the War until the American Midterm Elections [[[ IF THEY ARE HELD AT ALL]]] are completed and the Results tabulated .   Iran, like the rest of US,,  expect trump's republicans, ( now a FOUL term) to be DEFEATED in LANDSLIDE manner, which would then RETURN Legislative Power to the democrats, where OVERSIGHT will produce CHANGES that will GUARANTEE an END to trump's MANIACAL Conduct .         

                             The  "THING"  about  THAT  is,  once trump's "Psycho-phants" *  are Defeated, then what ?    Iran will STILL "  want  War REPARATIONS because, in this Instance,  IRAN IS THE VICTIM IN THE EXACT SAME WAY AS UKRAINE .   The American Government must still deal with the IRGC , and worse, what was once the Status Quo is no longer 'serviceable' in that NOW Hormuz has been annexed by Iran and, for all intents and purposes, Oman .   Trump + his have  created a New World Order --- a New World Order wherein America is NO LONGER the Epitome of Goodness dressed as Grandeur and Resolve .   America has redressed itself, meaning, America has become what trump sneeringly addressed as "a SHIT-HOLE country" .   Trump and his America will be forced fed those words.  America is gonna-hafta EAT ITS OWN SHIT , and then cough up TRILLIONS in War Reparations and Humanitarian Aid not only in Iran but in Gaza and the West Bank as well .  

                          Defeating trumpism at the ballot box is only a Sorrow-Stricken Beginning .

Do you speak the Russian ?

                                                           My Misery is unbounded this morning .   

                               WW II was the last WAR that Americans helped to Win .   Korea ended in TRUCE .

                               Americans did NOT Win in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan and they have continued this LOSING STREAK .   

                               The Folks who defeated Hitler are all Dead .   The Generation that helped Us get out of Vietnam are useless, because of Age and  Exhaustion .  

                               All Present Day americans do now is GRUMBLE, the War simply an inconvenience .

                              Academia has been cowed, check that, AMERICA HAS BEEN COWED because of trump's hitlerism .  No one dares to OPPOSE trump for fear of losing their luxuries .   

                               We are headed to be a COLONY of russia .

                                It may be time to begin learning Russian .

The Drug Boat Elections

                                                            Hegseth has FIRED EVERY GENERAL AND ADMIRAL HE SUSPECTED AS BEING DISLOYAL TO TRUMP !    We KNOW that there are generals and admirals who BELIEVE AS TRUMP BELIEVES ,  and should Circumstances require THEIR 'leadership' they WILL be set in place to execute trump's UNLAWFUL ORDERS .   Do any one of US actually BELIEVE that the Mil will "DO THE RIGHT THING" ?   I don't .   Look at what transpired Early On when trump took office ,  he ordered the Mil to BLOW UP BOATS AND SLAUGHTER THEIR OCCUPANTS >WHICH WAS A WAR CRIME< .   The Mil WILLINGLY COMPLIED NOT ONE MILITARY OFFICE OPPOSED TRUMP  fucking COWARDS ALL and to the last .   

                           From the above we can project that very same, Meaning,,,  when ordered to "Take the Streets", that is, go to polling places and INTIMIDATE LAW-ABIDING AMERICAN CITIZENS,,,    THEY WILL DO SO !!!   Remember this :   MANY of american terrorists, the proud boys for example, DID TIME IN THE MIL .   The Mil is RIFE with White Supremacists, Bigots, and Haters of Liberals, and those that WORSHIP hitler and Nazi-ism .   In the Mil they learn how to ---> ATTACK  AND   DEFEND HATRED .   Recall what they did on Jan. 6 .  

                            Trump's ARMY exists in OUR Army .

Feeling is Believing

                                                           I want to write about trump's Efforts to 'take over' the Voting Mechanisms currently in the Domain of States .   I fear such a topic is NOT suitable for Global Appetite .   The WORLD is painfully Aware that America is to be considered a "BAD ACTOR" on the Stage of World Political Theater , and speaking of American Voting seems ridiculously tiny, thereby making "IT" inappropriate .   

                             I can't help but FEEL that there will be  NO Election because, for trump, SO MUCH IS AT STAKE !   "IT" would be a MIRACLE if the House of Senators and the House of Representatives were DOMINATED by democrats to such an extent that they had a TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY which would then give them the POWER to not only Impeach trump but PUT HIM AND HIS IN PRISON .   The POLLS have indicated that more and more of trump's cult members are FEELING the Truth of his Mania , that they are considered, by him, to be of little or NO Value;  that HE WILL DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO STAY IN POWER,  and if that Means to SUSPEND ELECTIONS HE WILL DO SO  !!!

              HE HAS NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE SAVE TO RIG THE ELECTIONS IN HIS FAVOR !
