                                    "He who lets his spirit be broken by exhaustion certainly has no success .   But if adversity only bends a man, it creates in him a power to react that is bound in time to manifest itself .   No inferior man is capable of this .  Only the great man brings about good fortune and remains blameless .   It is true that for the time being outward influence is denied him, because his words have no effect .  Therefore in times of adversity it is important to be strong within and sparring of words ."

Trick of Threat

                                                           I had no plan to write this morning, I am still re-covering my nerves from the rake of Fear, Anxiety and Fury .    I told You I was fucking SCARED which may have struck ALL-OF-YOU as "UNBECOMING AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN" .  I know, I won't deny it .   Only thing I can defend myself with is the OBVIOUS --->  I'm OLD .   My FEAR is EVERYONE'S FEAR, as is my ANXIETY and FURY .   It's a Buddhist >thing< that sometimes defies explanation, this is one of those Times .   

                               Today is Halloween, technically it's "The Eve of all Hallows", that is, the Eve of "ALL SAINTS DAY" = where Hallows is manifestation of the Hallowed, the Saintly .   "IT" mite be slightly better with this > Hallows' Eve< but then again, who really gives a shit ???????   

                               "IT" 's also College Football Day, a day when millions upon millions IGNORE the country's Demise, and "The State of the Union", because THAT is a fucking "DOWNER" and "IT" would spoil the SPECTACLE  of Combat Sport, whose erstwhile Life was the "Bread and Circus" of Gladiatorial  Horror in Ancient america  Rome .

Jedi Mind Control

                                                          I've been Zen Walking -- {Pacing} -- with the expectation that 'something' will 'arrive' that will help me conclude this morning's Effort .    I needed a 'something' that would demonstrate 'Mind Energy' , the sort of which Telepathy, as in 'Mind Control' would express .   I use Mind Control because this Mind Control Energy can be utilized against trumpists that they may be influenced enough to reverse their 'stand' {as in 'stand with trump'} and vote 'Blue' .   The BEST that arrived was "Jedi Mind Control" .   So here it is :   when you are out and about and detect a trump-o-maniac use your Mind Energy to insist, `I need to change and vote for Democracy` .   Personally, I hold this throughout the day :   TRUMP MUST BE STOPPED and I SEND THAT OUT Continuously .   

                           We MUST EXERT Our Will .

"MY COUSIN VINNY"

                                                          Every vote is-gonna be HUGELY SIGNIFICANT .    Trump and his are already seeking to CAST-OUT --->  SUBSTANTIAL numbers of ballots that have been submitted .  If there is  slim margin in votes then he will EASILY declare VICTORY .   Even IF there is a fucking LANDSLIDE, he will seek to nullify vast number of democrat votes, so we MUST have EVERYONE vote .   

                         When Obama was opposed by Romney I twittered , "The republicans will SAY anything and DO anything, in order to secure Victory ."   Yes Obama proved to be the Victor but at what COST ?   Now the trumpistanians have been "backed into a corner" by their own `leader` and they have no other recourse save to LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL .   It is their "M.O." .    Look at what has transpired over trump's terms .   

                         Trump has calibrated thusly :  "Vote as if I am on the ballot."   This morning this arrived :   VOTE AS IF HITLER IS ON THE BALLOT .   Elsewhere I established the parallels between hitler and trump which have been assiduously corroborated by political scientists all over the World .   Recall j.d. vance :   "TRUMP IS AMERICA'S HITLER" .   You'd wanna believe that voting democracy is a "NO BRAINER", such is the disaster that is trumpistan .    Recall that we thought that before the FIRST trump .   We even had a SECOND CHANCE after he was IMPEACHED and look what happened THEN .   

                         You wanna believe, "THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM" ; but I give you that scene in 'MY COUSIN VINNY' when someone said, "You passed the Bar on your THIRD try because 'third time's the charm' rite ? "   Vinny was silent and then uttered  "Six" .   The questioner was aghast, "SIX !!!!????" .   "Yeah,"  Vinny sighed,    "SIXTH TIME'S THE CHARM" .  

John Wilkes [VOTING] BOOTH

                                                          There are hominids out there who would rather DIE than vote for democrat, liberal, progressive, Black, Muslim and I may as well add Buddhist .    These hominids voted for trump, as he too, is one of them, a hominid .    These barely humans are Instinctual in Mind and Psyche, meaning, they are "Jungle Dwellers" and as such the only Law they Know and Understand is the "THE LAW OF THE JUNGLE" =  "KILL OR BE KILLED" = =  "EAT OR BE EATEN" .   Here it is where FEAR is the PRIMARY Response to all things Unknown, indeed, we say that there exists, "THE FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN"  which manifests in Modern times as "FEAR OF THE OTHER" .   It gets worse {how the fuck can it get any worse ?} .   Evangelicals consider it a SIN to vote for democrats, whom they consider EVIL [ democrats as ANTI-GOD ] .   These somethings, will continue to support trump, he can count on their vote, while simultaneously pissing in their faces .  

                            There are other OTHERS, those that voted for trump to gain financial advance, the relief from taxes and such, and these folks are considered by us RIGHTEOUS SNOBS, as "Selling their Souls to the Devil" .   We say, "IN IT FOR THE QUICK BUCK", we note that they had given NO THOUGHT to the potentials that were soon to come their way, among them the COST experienced by the NATION, the Result of trump's tariffs and of course his WAR .   Will THEY continue to support trump ?   Can they be TRUSTED to vote for CHANGE ???????    I don't think they can be Trusted , I mean, seriously, WHY should we Trust them ????   I hazard that when asked for whom they would vote, they LIED TO OUR FACES that they were-gonna vote for a democrat, but once inside the the voting booth, VOTED FOR THEIR OWN MONETARY INTERESTS, fucking over the Rest of Us .  

Horror upon Horror

                                                           Elsewhere I have proffered an explanation as to the 'what' that caused trump to ignite his WAR against what was then an innocuous Iran .   I suggested that netanyahu had the epstein files and sought to influence trump to attack Iran WITH netanyahu's IDF or be subject to netanyahu's RELEASE of the Files to the World .   Trump had already kidnapped Maduro, and was flush with the Military's profound expertise and execution, and so believed that any Military Effort to destabilize the IRGC would certainly be just as effective .   Remember the initial Conditions surrounding trump on all sides :   the NON- Release of the epstein files had resulted in a 'mild' {poor choice} Public Conflagration that resulted in DEMANDS for their Release AS PROMISED by trump's administration .   Ya-gotta figure that trump figured, "NO FUCKING WAY" , and rather than a Release that would OUTRAGE THE WORLD and CONDEMN TRUMP TO ETERNAL DAMNATION, he decided to do what he does best, DEFLECT .   

                                There are MASSIVE Conspiracy Theories that netanyahu KNEW about the INVASION of October 7th, but he, as was trump, was "under" the crushing weight of Populace CONDEMNATION because of his CORRUPTION .   OBVIOUSLY, he "took a page out of trump's `playbook` " and rather than face potential penitentiary Consequence he "allowed" his own people to be MASSACRED .

First Thing FIRST

                                                           You want to believe that trump will be stopped if the democrats win the MAJORITY in both Houses thereby neutralizing trump's VETO POWER .   2 words, "NOT SO FAST".   Trump will remain the 'Commander-In-Chief' and what HE says 'GOES' .   Remember what trump and hegseth have already done :  they have forced out MOST of upper echelon Generals and Admirals which allowed INFERIORS to ascend into Command positions, and most of these MAY support trump in whatever whim or fancy he dictates .   Can we trust the Mil??? , I say NO .   Most recently they, the mil, have bombed another drug boat, killing its crew members ----ALL TOTALLY ILLEGAL .   The Mil WILL Obey trump's orders, I see no reason they will do otherwise .   

                            Folks will offset :  "Wasn't there a "NO Concur" letter signed by Mil Leaders to oppose further Mil Action against Iran and the Saudi Arabian Peninsula at large ?   Yes .   Did anything HAPPEN as a RESULT ???   No, nothing, not one thing .   Indeed, there is reporting that trump and HIS Mil are preparing for another HUGE Attack on Iran and its infrastructures, to take place after the american Mid-term elections .   Indeed, even netanyahu's mil is "in" that same "scheme" .

                           We are in some seriously DEEP SHIT .  There must be a first step for our self-extraction and that is to VOTE --->  DEMOCRAT straight down the ballot .
