Global Gyrations

Global Gyrations

The Time has Come

The sad commentary is a collective nightmare is turning into a mutual reality, but the actuality is an international nightmare leading to a global catastrophe. The adherence to pathological ideologies pervasively intruding on not only global communities but within national borders spells doom, gloom, and boom for a globe currently in persistently escalating conflict.

Not to point a finger but to state conditions and positions because the blame game is a game of perspectives and an itinerary of contorted assessments. The mass delusion and hysteria has engulfed every nation directly or by proxy. The conditions have been a dormant percolation which has erupted no longer solely subjected to pervasive ignorance but spewing ignorance’s consequences. 

The last several years has produced a series of pathogenic, geo-political, ecological, economic, and societal eruptions producing a tectonic shift in the global population’s acquiescence. Still, a more menacing cataclysmic event is looming with the warning signs ignored while apathetic hardships mount amidst a global landslide.

Ideologies of subjugation, domination, and relegation has proven to serve such an elitist echelon that populations are nauseated from the inhumane abuses and megalomaniac authoritative cravings. These abuses of the human spirit by denial of political and economic self-determination, resource theft, and historical exploitations has reverberations loudly echoed from many more locations. Those who know so well wish they didn’t while those who don’t know only catastrophically think they do.

A return to the good olde “inglorious“ days is a recurring nightmare for many. Fatefully, far too many never escaped them because many will do whatever to keep the abuses sacred. It is assured by those who benefit most from the iniquities of these nostalgic exploitations. This time “warp” or period of distortion has perverted the notion of civilization and humanity including freedom. The charity of suffering is the giving of your sacrifices towards their benefit.

So, if charity starts at home, so should individual evaluation and reformation. The principles of humanity are challenge as humanity has never been before including antiquity. The reason is because its hierarchy of exploitation or who enjoys it never being in dispute but now more far-reaching. This is true of both domestic and foreign exploitation as a total or pseudo autocratic anomaly of ideology, domination, and greed as the seeds that sprouts the weed.

This sovereignty of destruction is a designated and documented atrocity of submission to authoritative leverage by cultural and religious indoctrination. Not only speaking loudly and carrying a big theology but also using it indiscriminately. Not sparing the rod did not spoiled the child because using it ensures unrequited control and authority. The ideological regime of exploitation is a masochistic manipulation of coerced fidelity fearing autonomy would not choose it. So, they force, cajole, or propagate it upon the masses.

Faulty ideologies has caused more suffering than forty rainy days of saturation has ever inflicted simply by adhering to corrosive principles of antiquated deceptions and manipulations. When the foundations of belief or systems of dogma are historically persistent, systematically pervasive, and subconsciously entrenched the outcome is predictable obedience. Obedience does not require agreement, only submission. The masses routinely submit despite silent discord or diametric reservations for the diplomatic sake of avoiding punishment or promoting a misguided tranquility.

The tranquility of submission injects the tranquilizer of apathy. History may not have known any better. However, we most certainly do as time has revealed its erosive morality rebuked by its many past immoralities. History lays bare the fatal flaws of its travels by the dysfunction and collapse of the reciprocity of compassionate judgement received against those rendered. Because the disorder of bad business has blatantly corrupted, blinded, and intentionally mangled moral objectivity out the gate, foolishly we suffer.

The truth of history refusing to age gracefully is refusing to adjust to the times around it or the challenges facing it despite the complications created by its past. Therefore, history is a prophet of doom, clairvoyant in its predictions based on past empires which knew no end to its ambitions of conquest and abuse. Even if threatened from abroad they crumbled from within. The slow deterioration started when the recognition and adjustments lagged behind the forecast of gloom.

The ideological armor’s breastplate pierced by the spear of sanity has been mortally wounded while embracing the comforts of psychological programming and religious conditioning. Why are the many controlled by the few? It is not a physical control but a psychologically dissected lobotomization of logic allowing disinhibitions of cruelty, social relegation, and unconscionable exploitation. Convinced of some arbitrary justification as a prism causing a horrific rainbow of atrocities.

The separation by geography, nationality, race, gender, and many more irrational social constructs and classifications cannot transcend or negate a very simple and comprehensive law of nature. Only the self-proclaimed most intelligent and analytical species on the planet would succumb to such stupidity. The fundamental design of humans back to knuckle draggers has remained the same. One head, two eyes, two ears, one nose, one mouth, and so forth. So the difference is much like the flavor of Kool-Aid or flavored ideology.

All social disparities can be resolved by the same source which started it, humans, if we only act humanely. The hoarding of a prestigious existence is another construct of insecurity. The absolute domination of others within the species is a degenerate devolution unbefitting the apex of existence unless still governed by animalistic ferocities. So we amass weapons and misery, dispense death and destruction, administer judgement and execution, while proclaiming self-piety and validation.

All of these futilities currently and historically moves the autocratic chairs of power played by the same cycle of destruction and rebuilding diverting resources away from the elevation of the very demographics professed to be protected. But, protected from what and who? Not from the global gyrations of accelerated annihilation and obliteration of reason. Humanity has survived in large part because the destruction has been contained among our species and structures.

The endangerment of ecological systems, weather systems, space orbit, air, animals, and dam near everything we touch including each other must be an inherent characteristic to our species resulting from our intelligence. Does it seem like the smartest thing to do? The time has come for the masses to demand what our leaders refuse to graduate to and gravitate towards. The purgatory of life is largely human made, masses assisted, and globally felt.

The inter-connectivity of humanity is not a zoo invisibly caged at the whim of governments, conflicts, and authoritarian control even in Democracies. The time has come and should not be allowed to past where the people don’t globally insist that conflict, exploitation, and destruction is not the existence we prefer. The current projections as history has shown is larger and more devastating gloom, doom, and boom.

The Coliseum Calls

  Thurston’s Thoughts

The Coliseum Calls

Retired Ego

Ego is much like an athlete who ignores the whispers of time. Often we only glimpse our self-image by the regression of encounters lacking the admiration we once enjoyed. This internal dissonance is a fatal deception until obvious after the realization is glaring. The face of the sport has become the shame of the competition by tarnishing our legacy when our ego stays too long. Now we are tormented like we had become accustomed to tormenting envy. Father time is undefeated not only in sports but also as a delusion suffered by all those whose ego’s time has passed.

Time cannot be frozen or returned, only relived through highlight reels and tall tales remembering when a great coliseum once stood here. The glory that was once present can only suffer by our complicity yielding to a caliber of circumstances unaccustomed to us at our peak. Keeping it a buck, when we are identified by a standard, the standard becomes synonymous with us. This means when the standard becomes a facade our ego fills the vacuum while we resent it because we ignore the reality we refuse to accept. Vanity and narcissism morphed from a raging ego epitomizes the athlete’s pretentious dilemma of a hollow ego gone rogue.

The Five Rings emphasizes not only the proper weapon applied but the wisest defense. However, vanity is not one of them and pride is the double edged sword that now cuts us more than it used to cut envy when our self-image is now shredded. The secret is the shredding is only in our mind double blindfolded by vanity and narcissism. There is never any shame in not being what we once were especially physically because time is a bandit. Quiet as it is kept, our potential sits like a tub on its own bottom aspiring to be the best we can be because external comparisons are dangerous.

The Five Rings speaks of the void. It is the void that attacks us like the imaginary ghost under the bed existing only in our mind. There are times when life takes a lot out of us but resiliency is the remedy for the peaks and valleys of living. We must only satisfy ourselves thereby attracting those who gravitate towards us by their satisfaction and appreciation of us and ours of them. Life comes with many more flavors than Baskin Robbins, so everyone can choose theirs.

This is not a lesson in sports, combat, or comparisons but a lesson in survival armed with self-love and grace as a work constantly in progress. The lesson is adapting to changing circumstances and conditions while anticipating the countermoves needed to rise above challenges by perspective. Perspective leads to perception manifesting the synchronicities of provisions along the journey towards a destination. Ever notice those who are most judgmental of others are the most dissatisfied with themselves unable to live and let live.

Just as the predator is unbothered by the prey, a triumphant perspective is unbothered by the distractions of derailment. Accordingly, the mind is the lens of perception, it is also the projector of perspective leading to triumph. So, there comes a time when the business of retiring self-defeating internalizations must face the integrity of self-evaluation. The anxiety of what others may or may not be thinking is for them to contemplate instead of our preoccupation with their validation of us.  

Even when the referee gets it wrong and the game is over, it is never one play that determined the outcome. We don’t attack the ref, we deal with the outcome and attack our process. Winners never quit and quitters always whine or something like that. It is the pessimism of a loser mentality to think they can whine their way to victory, improvement, or self-acceptance. The power of self-love measured to a full cup has no need for Bounty to absorb the overflow. This messy overflow is vanity and narcissism in need of a retirement without the party. They are the agony preventing the ecstasy of self-esteem and the trumpets of authenticity proclaiming our arrival. 

Whether living a memory or a mirage constantly on stage performing an illusion where the applause no longer are the ovations of approval but the kindly deceptions of memoirs refusing to acknowledge the curtain has fell silent. The gladiator’s conquest is not in reminiscing or hallucinating victory but adapting in the great coliseum of life. This arena’s erosion by time and events still echoes the gladiator’s feats of courage against the lions of self-doubt.

Our epithet of euphoric proclamations roars from the core of our self-determination shining for all who would observe them erected by our demonstration, resourcefulness, and resiliency. Victory of self is the only true adversary we will ever face. Sometimes there is no easy way to face it despite it facing us, similar to an athlete’s dilemma. The greater the distortion, the bigger the arena but not full of applause but instead of self-actualization. We must see it in ourselves or as an example to become it. But more importantly, we must stalk it as a persistent transition pursued as an opportunity for the glory  and serenity of self-fulfillment.

After all, there are only two alternatives, either be it or fake it keeping in mind the real McCoy can only be exposed as the real McCoy but not as the counterfeit of vanity or narcissism. The burden of being the real deal comes with benefits while the apprehension of faking it might get you there but not keep you there. It most likely will prevent you from even getting there when confronted by a real player. So when the coliseum calls, vanity and narcissism are retired to the agony of defeat. From the ashes of ego rises an alter-ego impervious to defeat, only seeing the victory.  Triumph raises above the crowd’s roar for the gladiator who courageously overcome the demons within by challenging the villain of surrender. Life is strange like that but not as much as living as a delusional ego.

Old World Order

                                                                  Thurston’s Thoughts

The Untouchables

Old World Order

The Global Imperialistic Monarchy and Dictatorial Ideology of Old is a moral and tyrannical absolutism that does not allow for the possibility of error, dissent, or critical analysis. The primary axis of our existence rotates on these principles, beliefs, and indoctrinations. Serious contemplation reveals a consolidated fundamental integration of indoctrinations incorporating the fragmentation of a vast sea of miscellaneous disjointed beliefs.

They all go along to get along because they have the same consolidated purpose, control by voluntary subjugation. Ice cream in any flavor is still ice cream seducing according to your palate or appetite. All things arriving at the same destination by any road or method including magic carpet ride concludes at the same end point or intent. But so does ignorance, cowardice, and capitulation. Many times we don’t want to know the answer and many more times we fail to seek it. Mostly we simply accept the answer we have been told.

The Bible states “God forgives ignorance because we cannot believe what we do not know”. How can we be accountable for what we do not know? But, should we be accountable for what we don’t want to know? Conversely, I submit what about what we wholeheartedly believe which we do not know or, more pointedly, what we know but reject because of what we have been told to obediently believe? Can this be obedience to ignorance or ignorance to obedience?

The polarity of truth must provide for a sliver of possibility however remote. Like the man said where there is doubt there is no doubt. Therefore, knowledge must be sought by the inquisitively clever for the knowledgeable to obtain it. Be ever mindful that knowledge above all has always been forbidden. Knowledge is the destination rewarding those whose journey braves the perseverance, perils, condemnations, and exiles to not only know it but to speak it.

Plato’s Cave in a metaphysical context of ideology represents the constraints of our mind limited by the conditioning of our perception rejecting the realization of an expansion beyond a conditioned boundary. Just as “My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge, because they have rejected it”. We are also controlled by our “sinful ignorance” to accept the comfort of being told and led as opposed to discovery by examination.

The Polly wants a cracker parroting of spiritual and intellectual illiteracy without hesitancy adds water and stirs the corrupted intentions of absolutism by submission. Such is the shepherds of deception herding the sheep of zombified groupies in need of forgiveness for they know not to what they are faithful. This global cult of ignorance worship a BDSM paradigm of punishment desensitization for deviant behavior from prescribed protocols.

In other words, beaten into submission by the conformity of social constructs which defy logic, humanity, and nature. It is a reason the driver’s seat and steering wheel are not faced towards the rear. We have already seen where we have been but must be vigilant about where we are headed as a species. The rearview mirror is a fraction of the size of the windshield according to the significance of each’s vision. Prisoners of the ideological past cannot be pioneers of the future.

The mushroom of time is an expansion of contractions where exact patterns can never be repeated, maybe by occurrence but not by time and space. Same appearance and application, different space in time, but a mutually adjusted calculation for the differences created by time’s ramifications and the Butterfly Effect’s compounded revelations. This accounts for the fluctuations needed to fabricate conclusions by faith, belief, programming, or coercion.

A cow may be free to roam the pastures giving the appearance of freedom but the reality of confinement branded by the ideology of its owner. The global constructs of society expanded to the connectivity of humanity is unevenly yoked to sustain conflict and separation by the smoke and mirrors of conquest instilling mass hallucinations of subjective morality based on purpose, cajolery, or power.

Our branded minds succumb to religion, politics, class, gender, race, greed, manipulation, and geography roaming the pastures of subjugation grazing on the circumstances and predispositions we are fed. The politics of economics is by government or perhaps the government’s politics is economics, either way each requires complicity and ignorance. For example, people evaluate their leaders by their economies and the economic wellbeing of the people.

It is a savior’s mentality or victimization liberator attributed to a deliverer with us oblivious to other factors galvanized by a previous crescendo of inevitabilities. The seesaw’s motion is only balanced in passing towards its extremities of up and down. The natural inclination of time is change, of cause is effect, and of expectation is disappointment. Rain falls as a necessity and so does societies and economies as a result of the atrophy of prosperity.

During times of fiscal depression does money evaporate into losses or to the coffers of a formulated enrichment back to the origins of their disbursement. The roulette of economics are played at the casino of governments regulated by the Central Banks of forbidden anonymity. Everyone who is someone has a Central Bank regulating their economy, a private corporation that never loses.

We never blame our antiquated systems, unfounded veracities, or mercenary propensities but instead rely on our lethargic understandings targeting the easiest and most accessible lightening rods of our discontent. We must have someone to blame when there is no mirror to show the reflection of the one at fault whether individual, nation, policy, or what have you. The perjury of commonsense renders a mistrial of validation detached from the sworn testimony of history.

We are modern day stone-age flintstones following a bedrock of deception torn right out of history. Word of mouth is most often deceit of ears and apathy of discernment captivating the mind by attrition of reasoning. You can only stand on business when you are standing on knowledge. If you believe and propagate, mustn’t you verify? Tell the truth and shame the Devil but tell a lie pleases who, God?

The atrocities of mass hysteria and concentrated psychological abandonment of inhibitions and humanity often ignited by anger shields the ambiguity of ulterior motives placing the masses on the Demon time of concession. The absorbed forfeiture of perspective and arbitration of facts ricochets most accountability on the prey away from the predator. This Nostradamus of devious breath exhales the prognostications of oppression, exploitation, and inhumanity.

The dead beat authoritarian  alimony of morality or adolescent obligated provisions from subjugation’s accountability is beamed up by Scotty and transported to the bosom of Abraham claiming the moral peak of justification. The chastity belt of self-righteousness prevents the intercourse of compassion and culpability. The weeping willow thrashes in the storm but rejoices in its resiliency assured this too will pass.

So the youth must balance obedience to the past with their obligation to their future. Old heads live in the past, the youth live in the future, but we meet in the present. The future is theirs as the past has been ours. Discard the old skins of antiquated ideologies to receive the expansion of new wines of possibilities forsaking vengeance, nearsightedness, and the genocide of valor.

The monarchial illuminati of social hierarchy and dehumanization strut of arrogance must give way to an escalation in conscientious reflection or condemnation of method relieving the constipation of civilization. Trading places soils the undergarments agitating the self-loathing incontinence of oppression when mutated inwardly but promoted outwardly. The rock and roll of struggle with the bull’s horns of deceit sounds the disharmony of belief, actions, and justifications.

We revere technological advancement while neglecting human development perpetuating sociologies, ideologies, and indoctrinations as relics of dubious distinction and probabilities. The untouchables of the Old World Order rolling loaded dice leaves baby still needing a new pair of shoes with us staring at snake eyes losing our humanity. The youth must lead a Future World Order abdicating the inheritance of ignorance, exploitation, and oppression.

Aborted Understanding

Supreme Miscarriage

Aborted Understanding

The Supreme Court was established by the Judiciary Act of 1789 by Congress as a federal court system. It was intended to represent the will of the entirety according to the permanence of the Constitution superseding any legislative temporary will of a portion of the people. It emphasized all of the people’s greater good over some of the people’s will. Its purpose is to interpret and define the law constitutionally, not to create it. Thus, from the very beginning it has failed its primary purpose of judicial review rejecting impartiality as evidenced by sanctioning slavery and women’s suffrage.

The Supreme Court has catered to religion, social irregularities, and ideological biases under the glitches of judicial interpretations and political separation while ignoring over half the population. The departure from objectivity applied to constitutionality compromises the integrity and lofty esteem purported and afforded the court. Furthermore, lifetime appointments provide the comfortability of unaccountability amidst a veneer of impartiality. They are not the referee but the replay center to fairly adjudicate determinations.

Separation of church and state is implicit in the First Amendment to prevent restrictions of freedom of religion and expression. The vicarious reverberations of the high court’s decisions often conceals their motivations while revealing their partisan intent. Although inspired and directed by the British, European classism, and Christian Doctrines of Discovery, America was founded on conquest and not religion. A common misnomer is that America is or was founded as a Christian nation. It was NOT and is NOT.

Many of the Founding Fathers such as George Washington and a key framer Thomas Payne had very differing views of religion both personally and professionally. Most were unitarians at best, if not stone cold atheist. Thus, the freedom and separation of religion from government intervention or its intervention in government. Politics later begot religion with the Protestant influx of money and influence bringing in the sheep. Religion and morality are a social construct used to compromise the scope of legal clarifications narrowing or widening its interpretations to a designated outcome giving the assumption of impartiality.

This assumption of impartiality is not by the merits of the decisions rendered but the expectations of neutrality and detachment from them by the high court. America’s traditional patriarchal hierarchy devours any application not reflective of this peephole authoritative perspective. The Supreme Court is the final arbitrator to validate these disproportional propositions. Women suffrage was a struggle for women’s codified autonomy beyond just the right to vote. It was a declaration of exercising an identity separate from a man’s authorization. A woman’s identity was breeding and caretaking under the guardianship and permission of men.

Many commonalities of the past are unconscionable to women of the present. Sanctioned beatings, no legal standing, and many more subjugations overcame only to find themselves locked in a groundhog day of patriarchal authority surrounding the abortion issue again. Could abortion be an expression of their religious freedom or personal reckoning of their religious or circumstantial expression? Similarly, is the death penalty our reckoning with our salvation? Accordingly, sanctity of life seemingly must have an age or rage limit. Whichever, the judgement would seem to be more religious than a legislative or judicial prerogative lacking consistency of conviction toward life. 

I am pro-life but pro-choice understanding that it is not within my quarry to dictate decisions regarding another’s rights or body, female or male, according to my projected ethics or conditioned predilections. It certainly is not a deliberation I feel any authority to dictate as a man imposing my morality on a woman. If a woman is the vessel for the portal of birth, bearing the preponderance of the burden after conception then these decisions should be left among them to decide.

I equate this to the most fundamental of constitutional rights. Freedom of expression, speech, and religious guidance are rights, not privileges. What a woman uses her body to facilitate is her personal choice. A driver’s license is a privilege and can be rescinded, suspended, or denied. A constitutional right is subject to neither and is inalienable. In addition, how can an anti-vaxxer refusing dictations of what they must subject their body to manage to be anti-pro-choice about another’s body? According to the government with vaxxes life was at stake, but for detractors so was freedom. Freedom won.

The dissonance is not what is being done but to who and what it is being done to, women and their body. So, that which exist is relegated by that which has yet to exist. Moreover, weigh the vax against forced full-term pregnancy, child birth, and child rearing obligations and tell me which one is more personal, restrictive, or intrusive. If the sanctity of your body is your right how can anyone else’s not be theirs. An unborn child is part of a woman’s body until it becomes an independent body of its own.

Since the unborn child cannot make the decision, the logic is it must be made to protect them. Then should you be vaccinated to protect others against your will discarding your rights concerning your body? Even if vaccinated, you still made the choice of what to do with your body. Your body should be your choice and not selective enforcement of this right and certainly not suppression of it. Aren’t we still in essence talking about bodies that are capable of making decisions instead of decisions made about a body.

Why are there so many children in social and government sanctioned and ran entities? What about the lack of adoptions given how many anti-abortion elements there are who could easily practice what they preach? Where is the assistance and relief by those who are comfortable with their situation unconcerned about the decisions force upon someone else? If you exercise your nonexistent right to infringe and impose your will, then where is your responsibility beyond that imposition? A more concerted effort must be made to sustain those who have been born.

There are even now insinuations of the government registering pregnancies to insure and monitor birth in a handmaiden tale of a human production line. Some even advocate criminal punishment for legal abortions. Given declining birth rates and increasing estrogen in men some form of persuasion, incentive, or voluntary sanctity of life perspective would prevail. The struggle to be brought forth as life is a successful journey every living person has conquered. I am not advocating abortion or child neglect just questioning the discord between mandates, others’ imposed religion or moralities, and the unintended consequences of having no choice.

It is not a state issue, it is a women’s issue. Roe v. Wade was a national issue and the Supreme Court’s mandate is to adjudicate national issues for conformity and constitutionality. Religion or politics should not interfere with an entity which should remain impervious to their influence or pressure. Otherwise, it is a corruption of their purpose to cower behind a disarray of state loopholes to evade their obligations. The Founding Father’s created the court in 1789 for just such an occasion. 

The law of the land should be made by the court of the land. It is their jurisdiction but imposing religious morals is not. Make the call since you blew the whistle. This supreme miscarriage of jurisdiction and jurisprudence is an aborted understanding of the high court’s existence. Otherwise, why does it exist? A choice must be made and a compromise found. The sanctity of life must be protected but so must freedom. We must find a better way to emphasize life while allowing freedom or find another Constitution. Otherwise, this one has undergone a late-term abortion.

Government Cheese Anyone?

Inflationary Expectations

Government Cheese Anyone?

In 1793 Queen of France Marie Antoinette had a date with the Guillotine. The opulence of the Queen didn’t set well with the starving peasants and collective destitute of France’s people. Her “let them eat cake” comment can be construed or misconstrued as to the purpose, intent, or as a valid attribution to her. However, the public’s condition, dissatisfaction, or wrath was not in question. Consequently, she lost her head and became the preeminent symbol of decadence and indifference to the struggles of the lower and common class or the monarchy’s “subjects”.

In 1981 under Ronald Reagan and the Temporary Emergency Food Assistance Program the U.S. government passed out free cheese to the poor and under privileged public. This kind jester was a token of their disdain for the poor and in classic Marie Antoinette fashion said let them eat cheese. The Trickle Down Economic policy of the Reagan Administration favored the rich and corporations while cutting the economic throats of the poor and lower working class. The fat cats gorged themselves while the American peasants or “subjects” scavenged for the crumbs that “trickled down”.

Anyone who mentions Ronald Reagan and his policies are referring to feeding the poor and working class the economic scraps too small for the elite to abscond with. Similar to a bank robber taking the bills and leaving the pennies. This is a subtle application of racism and obvious distinction of classism. Racism is a microcosm of establishing and maintaining classism by creating the perception of scarcity. Scarcity magnifies the primal instincts of survival and self-preservation. The greater the insufficiency, the greater the desperation. Desperation breeds conflict among those competing for the same insufficiency.

Tax breaks, abatements, public financing, bank bailouts, and many more similar fiscal handouts are trickle down ideological subsidies where the rich or corporate entities siphon and swindle the objective public for the fat cat’s subjective good. Sure, some of the general public benefits, but only to the extent that is necessary for the puppeteer to abundantly receive theirs’. Below the surface of the iceberg is a calculated political structure complicitly embezzling for the rewarded reciprocity dangled before them. It is not a pay to play but a play to get paid arrangement where the middle person gets their cut while the bulk is kicked upstairs. It is the same aristocratic con game parlayed by exploitation of the republics “loyal” subjects.

Most grifts are set up in a comparable fashion. Prime example of a confidence game gone right until it doesn’t is a Ponzi scheme or the carrot remaining just out of reach propelling the horse from in front. The prospect of inflationary expectations motivates the mark concealing the Machiavellian fly trap’s divestment by interest or necessity. The art of the con is tricking you by you tricking yourself in pursuit of securing or protecting an advantage or benefit. So, when the scarcity and desperation metastasizes the poor, lower class, and middle class into a consolidated underclass many gazes are not fixated above but below. It is far easier to prevent someone’s ascension to your level than to overcome someone preventing your ascension to theirs’. It is a pyramid scheme.

Crabs in a barrel are akin to Plato’s Cave where their reality is the inescapability of their confinement by perspective or lack of. In a chicken or the egg analogy, can there be a general without troops or does the troops make the general? Can there be rich without the poor or is there poor because of the rich? The system dictates the parameters of its confines and its confines the conditions. For example, a working or minimal wage within a system of profiteering escalades excursions into maintaining separation by increasingly compensatory degrees to sustain the previous level or condition.

Therefore, the solution creates the problem it sought to remedy because the impact and burden is always at the bottom. Meanwhile, the top maintains their cushion of economic separation. Many fat cat problems are not public problems and few public problems are fat cat problems except for how it impacts their bottom line. The term essential workers takes on a different context when viewed through the lens of their dependency on you being greater than your dependency on them. So whether people vote their pocket or their conscious, there is an echelon of separation towards those below from those above.

Hence, the rat race of accumulation. Ironically, it is often for accumulation sake independent of necessity but instead prestige and ego. Feasting within view of the famished is a treason of humanity and destined for the gallows. Marie Antoinette was convicted of treason, not of feeding em cake. Any structure will crumble or collapse under a weight greater than its capacity. The implosion of society and social order might be fiscal disorder or the ramifications of it. Misappropriation of public funds or public trust can only lead to the guillotine of governmental condemnation. Hope you have a strong constitution or good laxative if you refuse this epiphany. Government cheese anyone?

 

The Butterfly Effect

                                    Thurston’s Thoughts

Identity Crisis

The Butterfly Effect

The Butterfly Effect is a snowball effect of an action which causes or impacts another occurrence seemingly unrelated. Events, ideologies, and behaviors are revolving seminal premonitions interwoven in the deterministic fabric of future possible outcomes. The results or outcome produced eventually differ from others from even the slightest deviation. Therefore, a minor conditionality of influence significantly affects a domino spectrum of instability or randomness preventing a methodical predictability. Chaos Theory can be considered both a cause and effect of the Butterfly Effect. It is a box inside a box which also contains the box which contains it. 

Classifications are much the same having a deterministic insinuation or connotation significantly affecting perceptions, opportunities, and considerations. Classifications are a linear understanding manifested in an applied perception or interpretation based on the subject’s and interpreter’s categorization. Localized or expansive ramifications are provisional to unrelated considerations created from conditions removed from the application but still influencing the applicator.

For example, two children experience the same occurrence but process it differently. The variation is in the individual lens experiencing it and the resulting impact. However, later in life that experience may produce vastly different dispositions. So, children who grow up in the same household and environment can develop diametrically opposed perspectives from many of the same stimuli but experienced differently creating different characteristics in each. The reason is often the separation of other experiences and influences aside from the commonly shared one respective to their individuality.

Another example is CRT influencing DEI with CRT emerging from GRT (Global Race Theory). This three arm pendulum swings creating a Butterfly Effect regarding social dynamics such as left, right, woke, minority, African American, white, or person of color designations. The definitions are fluid and essentially has no stable delineations which are not subjectively or divisively redefined altering their original meanings. This leads to the reassessment of classifications which have been used to separate, subjugate, or alienate specific groups as meaninglessly undefined by random stipulations.

The definition of social classifications become so diluted one should question the need for them even if it can be argued that they had any relevance in the past. Race, sexual orientation, religion, morality, cancel culture, and many more have no probative definition. What they do have is a subjective convenience of labeling where not only the goal post constantly are moved but the endzone as well. By the constant stretching and contraction of terms and concepts what is actually accomplished is the widening of their definition and thus their irrelevance. 

It also invalidates the criteria used to predict or, more precisely, construct a replication considering the intangibles and collaborative or oppositional circumstances culminating in an outcome or formation. Consider the greatest quarterback, slugger, or baller and the small variation which propelled them above others in the same category or skillset. At what point did it become evident prior to it becoming obvious? What about the fortuitous impact of unpredictable circumstances such as injury from existing vulnerabilities or chance occurrences, or even the impact of rules or teammates?

Many variables contribute to an outcome whose contributions were unforeseen, coincidental, or perhaps fateful. The full circle of materialization is a cumulative randomness. A distance runner whose bedwetting led to his champion pedigree by running home after school to retrieve his sheets from the windows avoiding embarrassment. Essentially, avoiding embarrassment was the unpredictive catalyst. Consequently, we are not defined by our classification, category, or subjugation but instead a Butterfly Effect where the biggest determinate is as unpredictable as the pendulum of life swinging in no certain pattern.

At best, what we do, what we are labeled, or our insufferable endurances are not who we are. They only contribute to what we become. so don’t get it twisted. The formation or reformation of our identity is a Chaos Theory of possibilities randomly determined but arising from the initial conditions formulating our foundation susceptible to random influences or chance occurrences. The declassification of many policies, practices, and designations of social taxonomies only established to serve subjugation and narcissistic hierarchies of control, divisiveness, and separation must be recognized and dispelled.

The identity crisis of social relegation is a pattern to produce a predictable outcome by a standardized method. Accepting other’s limitations as our designation confines the possibilities of our Butterfly Effect to an isolated principle of predictable stagnation. The possibilities are endless, random, and undefined, but, if not careful, so is the identity crisis. For incentive, rags to riches don’t care who receives it. Hopefully, this article will have a Butterfly Effect of clarification as a chance encounter catapulting you to a destiny of self-actualization.

 

Chain of Regrets

                          Thurston’s Thoughts

Selectively Ours

Chain of Regrets

Their is an old saying everybody thought somebody would do what anybody could have done but nobody did. The conclusion is nobody acted assuming anyone other than themselves would see the need or possess the compassion. Surely someone out of everyone would feel compelled but still nobody would conceive everybody, anybody, or somebody would not ensure it was done. So the moral of the story is if you do it, you ensure somebody did it. The polite courtesies of cowardice or apathy maintains the civilities of disregard among the apathetic without the remorse of their joint indifference.

This indifference to act is sequestered in the regret protection program whose deficient intent is now disguised as concern to suppress the glare of guilt, obligation, or detachment. Sometimes in life we can not do tomorrow what should have been done today. Pretending not to see the necessity is a violation of the obligation treated as an option dismembered from the circumstances which created the obligation. In many times of need our cup overflows when receiving generosity, grace, or compassion but not so vigorously when it’s time to reciprocate.

Therefore, is the regret of actions, inactions, or the negative reflection regret cast. The preservation of pretense mandates an exonerated rationalization uniting anyone whose record is less than sparkling. Whenever there is a finality, time and space collapses upon itself to not only reveal its treasures but also isolates its trespasses. A judgement day of sorts whose verdict should render accountability by degree of obligation and not selective revisionist alteration. So, our trespasses against others reveals our sensitivities and sensibilities eventually becoming transgressions against our character.

These perspectives of bluster mirrors the sorrows we emotionally entomb creating a chain of regrets. The pretensions and denials before the cock crows a condemnation consoles our virtue greasing the skid of disassociation from validated expectations. This stunning display of negligence is an abandonment of an anticipated contribution as the equilibrium of circumstances shifts from the need being ours to someone’s whose coat has been placed in the mud on our behalf. This is especially grimy if a willingness providing only time and effort is all it takes removed from any monetary considerations.

Having the back of those who have had our back, particularly when our dependency was sustained by their contribution. Biting the hand that has fed us or withholding actionable gratitude invalidates the appreciation or concern which should have been abundantly returned. So, pardon my unapologetic compulsion to accredit ingrates with their ingratitude. The self-identifying ingratitude sought to be ignored when time takes its place is a delusional installation of buttocks firmly placed upon one’s shoulders head centrally inserted.

The extraction of dignity bears the aroma of its stool of obligational dishonor. Unfortunately, the stench of ingratitude is often so prevalent as to normalize the fragrance of camouflaged indignity. The lack of return on investment is selectively ours, just as the disdain is the prerogative of the investor. To forsake a kindness rendered or compassion owed will be judged by time and condemned by fate. Often we don’t choose our circumstances or the people who assist us through them. However, if and when the opportunity arises we decide how we honor them. Time has revealed how they have honored theirs’s as it will expose how we have chosen selectively ours.

 

Kent State Massacre 2.0

                                                                              Thurston’s Thoughts

May 4, 1970

Kent State Massacre 2.0

If you live long enough or study history deep enough several revelations will become evident. Time does not repeat itself but circumstances most certainly do repeatedly. A politically imperfect storm brews from the perfect ingredients processed under complimentary conditions applied to heated rhetoric, defective ideologies, and authoritative coercions. Geopolitical agendas supersede rational restraint, humanitarian recognitions, and collateral damage from combustive allegiances to questionable aggressions. The schematic of conflict includes the usual suspects of religion, ideological clashes, and conquest of ulterior motives.

The Kent State Massacre combustive casserole involve students protesting participation in two escalating foreign wars, the military draft to support those wars, and a National Guard mobilization on campus to quell protest. Four students were killed and nine wounded as the National Guard opened fire on students. This single tragedy galvanized students, campuses, and the general public nationwide, magnifying the essence and social force that the shootings had sought to suppress.

Repressing protests on American soil with American military force against American citizens to muffle dissidence and civil rights for a foreign agenda actually increased the protest. Domestic rights were massacred in pursuit of spreading democracy, which was the façade du jour promoted, concealing  geopolitical ideologies propagated under patriotism, nationalism, and imperialism. The reheated leftovers of the Doctrine of Discovery and Papal Bulls of cajoling religion, conquest, and  dogma always with a splash of righteousness against a competing ideology, were paramount.

Vietnam and Cambodia left a stain on America with Kent State, Agent Orange suffers, heroin addictions, and less than heroic treatment of returning service personnel. Protest against the military draft and conscientious objections to the war signaled the puppet master’s strings being cut, changing the dynamics of the slaughter mill obedience to unbridled compliance. It ushered in a period of social revolution questioning the cocoon of authority.

Albert Einstein stated that blind obedience to authority is the greatest enemy of truth. Blind obedience festers atrocities justified by objective. A military draft removes choice as the embryo of brainwashing and psychological grooming leading to an assembly line of thought submission. Muhammed Ali was vilified for his resistance to the Vietnam War and draft to later become globally beloved. Doing right may not be recognized until later, but if it had not been done, what would there be to celebrate? The American Revolution is the epitome of such a protestive rebellion.

College campuses are the incubators of thought and often the genesis of leadership changing the status quo to generationally sculpt their interpretation upon future policy, procedures, and politics. Our world reflects this clash of old and new. The old holds the advantage of power and experience while the young possess enthusiasm and blossoming ideas. Many old heads were the youth of yesteryear’s protestors now fiercely protecting a current reality they then fought against. Debate by military force is no remedy to settling differing perspectives.

Those making war-mongering decisions are not the ones fighting and dying over them. The same college students are relied upon for military service but not the declaration of their convictions. Reasonably, an invalidation of a disputed position or method does not invalidate the merits. The dismissal of claims as anti-this or that, victimhood, or expired cannot dissolve the culpability or veracity its built upon.  The reason breathes even as the method is suffocated.

Many of today’s disputes emanate from an ideological religious crusade poorly disguised as politics. Religious beliefs of dubious veracity other than pure faith should not govern war or politics but they do as well as national and geopolitical allegiances. In addition, nationally during the early 70s, an embattled President Nixon was toppled by the criminality of Watergate, seduced by power and jolted by the prospect of losing it. Hence the crime and coverup.

There appear to be two overwhelming factors humanity must confront and they are inbred religion and absolute power. Both are corrupt and corrupted for dubious and distorted purposes. So by vicarious affiliation of consent or concession, the guilt of silence fuels the locomotive of atrocities as efficiently as purposeful intent. Perhaps the government of the people should listen to the dissatisfaction of the People. This time period of the 70s was deemed volatile by the volume of change and challenges. 

The 1973 codified Roe v. Wade recently overturned was enacted by the Pulse of the People. Additionally, BRICS now threatens the default currency status of the U.S. Dollar exploiting the 1971 Nixon removal of the gold standard to stimulate government spending and deficits. Globally nations are returning to the gold standard. Would you rather have a currency backed by gold or a diminishing fiat reputation? Lack of DEI was deemed a liability to productivity and decency shunning the equality of inequality. 

C. Everett Koop railed against cigarettes and its 600 ingredients, igniting 7,000 chemicals, leading to the warning on the packaging. The cigarette was vilified but not its producers  despite the verified health cost. The matador defense is now against menthol. Albeit smoking sherm, drinking ammonia, or eating rat poison is frowned upon except when consumed in cigarettes. From weapons of mass destruction to the current geopolitical dogma, truth and independent thinking should be encouraged to avoid the spin cycle of history repeating itself. Those who forget the past are condemned to repeat it.

There comes a time when it is prudent to take the keys from great grandpa not necessarily by age but by perspective. Over a half of our congressional leaders are over the age of sixty-five. Is there any wonder we are stuck in an ideological and geo-political stone age governed by perspectives of the 1940s and 50s? At the risk of being woke, wake up people it is a self-aggrandizing job for many politicians whose personal agenda trumps the public wishes. A governor who votes for a trans bill because of his child or a Speaker of the House who pushes foreign aid because his son is in the military.

Not to belie the decision but the selfishly subjective motive. This is how we are governed and compromised including the shell game of the Electoral College. So why encourage the youth to pursue an education that we don’t want them to use for critical thinking? If you can’t teach old dogs new tricks, why stop new dogs from performing new tricks? College campuses are the seeds planted years ago bearing fruit into the future. The pruning of this tree instills conformity to past social and political establishments.

The youth are shackled by decisions from people who will not be around to experience the damage. By association or capitulation, the slumber of stagnation cannot be allowed to massacre conscientious change as woke. The youth today will be us tomorrow just as we were them then. Institutions of thought should not stifle the expression of thought either by massacre or militia. History proves it only exacerbates the protest and rebellion.

Look around at the campus protests, two foreign wars potentially devouring our youth in escalated combat, talk of re-instituting a military draft for lack of volunteers, law enforcement/military confrontations with college protesters, abortion ban, voting rights circumvention, de-dollarization, social inequality, and a disgraced former President. With history repeating itself, we definitely do not need a Kent Massacre 2.0. Find another way, might does not make right. It makes martyrs and crusader’s. 

 

Apostles of Deceit

              Thurston’s Thoughts

Behold the Pale Horse 

Apostles of Deceit

Theology is generally considered to be information regarding God and religion. Theology is accredited as a divine doctrine from a transcendental God-being directing the stipulations of our behavior for earthly blessings and a heavenly reward in the afterlife. The human aspect of following these instructions and implementing them is where the discrepancy of honoring them ruptures. So only by our words do we have an abundance of believers while our deeds reveal no scarcity of deceivers. Therefore, is it a problem of doctrine or deceit? Theological guidance or depraved behavior are demonstrated by the cloak of our actions.

The vast majority of people have a religious compass of belief governing their behavior. However, the veneer of religious affiliation often mask the consciousness it takes to feel like decent folk despite commissions to the contrary. At what point does a believer’s actions expose them as a situational believer incapable of restraint when tested? The profusion of religious righteousness escalates the arrogance of entitlement based on assimilation and proximity of common belief, circumstances, or objectives. The resulting tug of war absorbs those betrothed to capitulation by a hierarchy of condemnation whose humanity is judged summarily as less valuable by religious belief or culture.

Although the cattle brand of religious ideology is responsible for many wonderful things it also has instigated some of the most heinous acts ever committed. Conquest has always been the destructive gene of humanity, but ideological conquest is a mirage whose invasion is of a thought or belief. Thoughts cannot be exterminated by invasion, only the people holding them can. Thoughts must be persuaded just as beliefs are convinced. Conciliatory actions are the persuasion which convinces opinions fostering a truce of ideological hostilities. Accordingly, complementary actions must be sought instead of rhetoric of divisiveness prolonging conflicts whose resolution will not be by force or vengeance.

While force can be met with force, it must also be met with reason. Whereas vengeance belongs to the offended, similar to punishment and force it must not be measured by rage but by violation. The punishment must correspond to the offense for the reaction to be considered appropriate. Frustration, nationalism, or geo-politically influenced actions rarely exterminate ideologies, religious beliefs, or resentment. Still, the drawing of first blood incites blinders of justification validating retaliation, but not unrelenting vengeance exceeding the callousness of the provocation that initiated the retaliation.

Nevertheless, to abandon the core beliefs of one’s assertions betrayed by one’s actions invalidates either the core belief or the action. It is our ideological identity that binds us beyond geographical boundaries accept when geographically challenged. Then aggression, vengeance, or conquest overwhelms our humanity, beliefs, and convictions suspending the means justified to ruthlessly secure the ends. From biblical, ancestral, to historical conflicts an eye for an eye is a uniform equivalent as the reasonable consequences and complications for acts of transgression.

This medieval inhumanity takes up the pale horse weapons of the sword, famine, pestilence by violence, and animalistic thirst of human sacrifices to appease a justification of belief, outrage, or seizure by force, suffocation, or exploitation. So we are indeed constantly living in the last days of the apocalypse due to a penchant for power, control, and violence. Our masquerades of beliefs, morality, and echelons of humanity disrupts every ecosystem on earth and now even threatens beyond our stratosphere. So behold the pale horse of believers medieval weapons in hand accompanied by a twisted Ideological famine employing a philosophy of genocidal conquest and vengeance bolstered by the righteousness of subjectivity.

The Pale Horse of the apocalypse rode by death and followed by hades devouring humanity corrupts the north star guided by ideologies imbedded psychologically and sociologically. Religious and cultural differences are often the witches brew stirring atrocities shrouded by subjective validation. Therefore, contradictory actions makes beliefs questionable but deeds clear. The harmonic principles of stimulating war, starvation, or inhumanity while highbrow posturing reveals the sinister intent of the outcome and the wayward deeds to achieve it.

A sentiment galvanized and mass produced triggers a manipulated hysteria disengaging the method from the objective often leading to unconscionable subjugations of humanity. Those aligned with the perpetrators of such inhumanity also bear the burden and sins for their complicity in their commission. According to Leviticus 5:1 silence toward evil is accountable for those who remain silent. So the sin is equally attributed to the action and the silence that witness it. We are often motivated by our cultural affiliations, economics, or xenophobia to minimize our actions along with those who we hold allegiance.

Given the historical context of tenets of beliefs, especially the reigning doctrines, surely an ethical acknowledgement should extend to reciprocate the same humanity we expect for ourselves. The nucleus of an understanding is a concession to a settlement. Submitted by untenable circumstances, suppression, or decimation beyond contention orchestrating terms of survival leaves no room for options or concessions. However, it does amplifies the ideology sought to be exterminated beyond the margins inviting pervasive condemnation and contempt. 

The benefit of victory at the expense of the soul has been the traditional apocalyptic exchange pulverizing the mind and spirit to exercise dominance and intent. The P.R. campaign of history continues to unravel escalating conflicts instead of reevaluating the procession to clash and assigning name to deed. So, for the sake of brevity pardon me for my indirect appropriation. In terms of ideology and not identity, every belief system has its origin, journey, and circulation unique unto itself. Each distinctive expression represents the bylaws, if you will, representative of that belief or ideology.

Many of the reigning doctrines navigate the globe beyond language, culture, class, or geography making its ideological replication a thought amplified in theory and practice. As such, it is as fluid as it is pervasive beyond extermination. The aforementioned belief systems have survived many attempts to purge them for this reason, the robust rituals of religious and sociological integration. This ancestral uniformity of automated perceptions harkens of their ancient necessity and limitations but these ideological antiques of elapsed ignorance must be abandoned for future trajectory.

The resolution for the future is not in centuries and millennium old grievances, fallacies, or denials of their occurrence or repercussions. Integrity and candor identifies the solutions estimated by the adaptation to achieve its purpose. As many beliefs and celebrations or observances converge upon us this holy season, contemplate what yours are by doctrine similar to others. The semantics of each basis yields parallel principles of behavior regarding peace, love, and exemplary character. So, seemingly there is no discord by doctrine on preferred code of conduct or bylaw behavioral comparisons despite worship.

However, the renunciation and aspersions emerge from the contradictory conduct overriding the lofty directives and portrayals diametrically opposing the assertions of belief, intent, and character or prestige biblical, historical, or otherwise. The voyeuristic trance of the past is a fetish of regressed infantile development entombed by the expired limitations of knowledge and belief remaining confined to its expression and stagnation. In other words, having outgrown the play box and frivolous fascinations eager for exploration and expansion but restrained by nurture and circumstances. It is the essence and nature of survival, of life to seek development.

So, primitive perspectives adhering to a history repelling transformation consents to the tunnel vision of past discord. Self-preservation will always gravitate towards survival but so will errant beliefs and ideologies morphing their definition and intent to ensnare a host or parasitic devotion. These are those known by their words but exposed by their deeds. These are the trojan horses concealing the pale horse of destruction double crossing believers by hijacking the sincerity of a belief to hide among them. By their blasphemous contradictions of inhumanity, deceit, and destruction they corrupt the sanctity of the belief.

The plight of further generations entrusted to rectify the colosseum remnants of our stagnation, inhumanity, and ignorance will be to discontinue a legacy reduced to a rigid past rejecting a radiant future. Many worn out concepts, practices, and justifications prevent the invigorating possibilities of our transcendental progressions. The yellow brick road is a journey onward toward the conviction of our actions, words, and belief to be obvious in the unity of our conduct and humanity. The blueprint is known but the execution is still by guillotine instead of accomplishment.  

The deed identifies the doer and dogma or doctrine. Our sin is not of sight but of silence cajoling the apostles of deceit to discredit us by association to their betrayal of our belief and humanity. Consensus is not always popular and many times is silent until outrage is popular. So, who is being deceived, us, them, belief, or actions? Whichever, should not be determined by the sin of our silence or the silencing of our sin but the universal tenets of our shared beliefs. 

Rippling Effect

 

  Thurston’s Thoughts

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Oh My!

Rippling Effect

Diversity, equity, and inclusion is defined as policies and programs that promote the representation and participation of different groups of individuals. DEI encompasses people of different ages, races, ethnicities, abilities, disabilities, genders, religions, cultures and sexual orientations. Its rejection is a concept reducing human characteristics to a monolithic selection ignoring the multiplicity comprising all social and human spectrums. DEI is a concept in practice which reflect a universal reality of existence, a unification of complimentary elements configuring the whole.

Think in terms of cells, organs, DNA, thoughts, knowledge, weather, and so forth which function as a singular element contributing to an aggregate system in circuits of dependency, interaction, and stimulation. Even these elements are formed by a combination of smaller elements. So theoretically speaking, all existence is an expanded elemental representation participating in the combination of smaller definitive factors or parts interwoven into the composition. Therefore, DEI is a logical and rational function of existence creating a rippling effect of diverse presentations and configurations in a sequence of domino effects.

As a mathematical principle, the sum of the components cannot exceed its total. Considering DEI as the sum total of humanity, omitting any portion would diminish the totality and any collaborative value. An equation consist of a conclusion and the criteria used to calculate that conclusion. The reversal of an equation is usually the way to verify the equation by logic and objectivity. However, when both are conversely applied they produce fundamentally flawed conclusions of subjectivity. Commonly misunderstood applications of DEI is often reduced to race and racism narrowing its meaning and purpose from the endeavor of addressing discrimination.

So, the formulative equivalence and objective is a recipe of DEI diminishing discrimination producing impartiality of opportunity by access. To pursue or support exclusion exposes the equation to a defective process. It violates the humanistic and societal paradigms of life similar to some periodic table of elements like hydrogen being disregarded as a key contribution fundamental to structure, form, or composition. The broken circuit of reasoning and emotional subjectivity can then only be justified to destabilize or deconstruct efforts to eliminate discrimination. Discarding segments of society prevents social stability except by coercion and exploitation promoting greater divisiveness by omission.

Suppression and history applies the how of exclusion to the aligned objective of discrimination surrendering a cautionary tale. A profound fragility dependent on discrimination by any repressive means necessary to maintain power, control, and a socio-economic advantage creates a vacuum. The parameters of access or representation must be restricted accordingly lessening contributions while increasing the incentive and resentment ripe for dissidence of greater proportions to remove the barriers to autonomy. It essentially isolates the ideology of exclusion to a peninsula of antagonism imprisoning its practitioners.

So, DEI is an antidotal self-fulfilling prophecy of progression increasing contributions while lessening confrontation. Any policies of exclusion and exploitation of today creates the conflicts and crusaders of tomorrow. Again, by definition everyone belongs to multiple categories of DEI calling into question its dominant preoccupation with race while not opposed to other segments of DEI. Truth be told there are NOT MANY business entities, universities, or banking empires who DO NOT have many racial blemishes which directly benefited their injustice. For most DEI is an annuity escrow account for previous contributions of venture capital whose payment has been withheld especially regarding race. 

This racial application is the reason DEI is generally considered division by racial marginalization, bias policy, and prejudicial practice historically proven but contemporarily denied. But DEI would become obsolete by lack of its necessity and use much like antiquated hand signals to indicate vehicle turning direction. Consequently, from a historical perch of observation DEI is a detection system to correct discrimination and not a mechanism creating it. A surplus of delusion, cajolery, and deception to conceal the imbedded hierarchy of discrimination and social injustice is inherent as primary ingredients in the subsidy of anti-DEI rhetoric and systemic practices.

As far as anti-white discrimination based on the Fifth Amendment of equal protection under the law, where were and are these defenders when its violations were and are against Blacks. DEI is a remedy to the “unequal protection” under the law systemically practiced not only by exclusion but also racism, suppression, and  exploitation. This poses the question of when did “unequal protection” under the law for Blacks stop? DEI actually assures a meritocracy by addressing the arbitrary blinders of discrimination. Since overt racial discrimination was practiced, should not the remedy target the violation.

If exclusion by racism created the disadvantage then inclusion through racial access would logically relieve it. Seemingly, each according to their disadvantage by historical exclusion whether racial or not. But why is race always the deal breaker? Surely it is ridiculous to pay a person who has not worked the wages of those who did. So, DEI is not discriminative to those who haven’t suffered under discrimination to receive or prevent the “wages” of those who did. It is compensatory behavior and not punitive but corrective policy.

It is reciprocity for the restitution of advantages garnered by discrimination. The concept is universally accepted and practiced except when race is the point of contention. By definition and appearance this is the racial discrimination which currently justifies the need for DEI by the continued racial exclusion from social restitution. It is society’s debt which only requires sharing access to the rewards and opportunities plundered by discrimination. A meager accommodation to address the imbalances of equal protection under the Fifth Amendment whose marginalization created the disparities addressed by DEI.

It does not diminish opportunity, instead it expands access and the resulting contributions. Only a narcissistic psychopathic mentality would deem a socially level playing field as an inequality to them after benefitting from their inequality to others. Thus, the perceived social equality threat remains the elementary objection, not DEI. So, to the periodic table of fear and ignorance we can add diversity, equity, and inclusion. Oh my!

P.S. Things in the rearview mirror may be closer than they appear, but so is discrimination.
