Tuesday [3]

3.  The need to pause and read

At t'other place, Steve's point [79i] had me pausing and considering:

"We will not forgive. We will not forget. We have you all on record."

That needs looking at.  The new testament exhortation is that 'vengeance is mine saith the Lord' and before pooh-poohing that notion as a craven concession before a known enemy, perhaps we should think it through.

If the ultimate source of all the constantly bubbling trouble is not mortal, then how can any mortal defeat it, especially when it is all factored in how we 'sheeple' will react to this and that?  We walk straight into that trap.

An example is us finally establishing, in sufficient minds, an uphill task with cloth-eared sheeple, that the whole thing is bollox.  Once the stats do come out showing vastly more vaxxed going down with the condition, inc. the flu misinterpreted factor, then Them running this show change tactics.

As more and more people see the damage done by the vaxx, what do Them do?  Why, they put out a new narrative, of course, via the CMOs, that in fact it's all due to this new strain they've developed er that escaped from a fish market, it's not the vaxx in the least, keep getting jabbed over and over, sheeple.  The triumph of hope over experience, no?  This strategy has no end date.

Ditto with revolutions ... the spooks are there in the squares, recording the ringleaders, saves them time and trouble.  Besides, coming back to the biblical idea, what is forgiveness anyway?  Does that not depend entirely on the first step ... remorse?  If there is no remorse from the miscreant, then what forgiveness is there?

We talk olive branch or concession as first step.  If there is none, then what's left?  We saw that thug plod talking to the protester in footage - jobsworth it was, food on the table.  That's why he was going to beat the c*** out of the protester, not because he agreed with his masters in their cosy drawing rooms.

If that's what the protester is up against, then should there be no protests?  Hell no, because protests do what pub shutdowns prevent - they enable dialogue and from dialogue comes resolve.

So yes, the protest is still vital, en masse.  However, consider two experiences - Tiananmen Square ... and Kazakhstan.  The protesters in the latter case did not stand around kumbaya-ing, they went in and dragged the puppets out into the street.  

The core miscreants pulling the puppet strings of course escaped as usual, it was just that the puppets, the myrmidons, were now having second thoughts, despite the hold Them had over them up to that point.  Once the myrmidons face their own personal loss, different ball game, no?

Them themselves simply head back to Tibetan mountaintops or wherever, to regroup for a decade or two, leaving behind the slaughter and destruction of one lot of sheeple upon the other.  

Plus all the retributive hangings.  The Professor to Jason Bourne - look at us, look at what they make you give.

So that suggests to me we need to look at these verses more carefully.  Seems to me that with no remorse, no atonement, then forgiveness is a hollow word.  The alternative is to pray for the bstds to be attended to by the Lord, in His own way.

The alternative to that is for us, each one of us, to wallow forever in seething anger and detestation for the eternal miscreants. What's that do to our mental health, also our physical health? Our enjoyment of life?  What does it do to our effectiveness when the call does come to strike back at Them?

My suggestion is not to let the bstds reduce us to that debilitated state.  It's been a huge disappointment to Them that we have not yet taken to the karens with clubs and pitchforks.  What is missed by many is that this is not craven, it's in fact refusing to play Them's game the way Them have it mapped out. It's by no means back to a pretend 'normal'.

It's back to the war room to map out our next strategy, that's all.  Meanwhile, massed protests are still excellent.  It's not those which will turn the tide though.  It's going in and dragging the puppets out.  And forgiving them before their execution.  But never forgetting.

Never forgetting what?  Never forgetting the myrmidons' stupidity in obeying false orders?  They're humans turned inhuman, that's all.  Weak, greedy humans.  

No, what we do not forget is the ones behind all the strife ... Them themselves.  Blair is a myrmidon, not one of Them. He's a wannabe without the bloodline.  Them are the actual enemy, and they have a leader no mortal is going to defeat, I can tell you that now.

To return to the subheading "The need to pause and read", there's another comment needs making.  If we all turn to furiously researching and writing up as pundits - a very good thing - then when do we actually put aside time to read what all the other guys and guyesses have been writing?

If I'm constantly writing, collating, writing, collating, washing, vacuuming, cooking, eating, dealing with a neighbour and house tasks, writing, collating ... then when am I actually sitting back and reading?  Would you agree we need to apportion, schedule our time to encompass all ... plus stay calm the entire time?

Any calmness I display is learned, not innate [my mother was Irish].  I learned as headmaster that there was no other way, one had to stay calm [Yorks dour] and deal with every new issue.  

And one of those was to keep the reading up.  And if we've created here at N.O. a large amount to read, then should we not be spending part of our time actually doing that part of it?

By the way, it's Rabbie Burns night tonight, all my beloved dour Scots.
