Sophistry:

The are of repurposing language, in an attempt to change the meaning along with the narrative. Words mean things and as I write, I chose them, carefully.

Subterfuge is epitomised, in political-speak, where parsing words has become an art-form. Where not getting caught in a lie, is now considered the same, as telling the truth.

The media has become highly proficient, in making the most abhorrent of acts, almost palatable.

Truth is so rarely heard as to be considered, hypothetical.

In Retrospect:

I find myself asking; where did it all go so wrong, and how did we become, so alienated, so self-absorbed, as a society.

Previously, I indicated I was matted for 62 years and I have to say, staying married and raising children, are the hardest of all jobs: everything else, is easy.

My wife has since passed away. Mostly I remember our endless conversations, we talked about so many things, and although we each had opinions, there were never any arguments.

Today however, we to take, at each other, rather than to each other, driving us further apart. I have a son living with me, he's a great help, were it not for him, I'd be relegated to a nursing home.

And yet, I still feel lonely. He leaves for work before I'm up and although we eat dinner together, he leave to watch base ball, football, etc. The nearest thing to companionship is the time I spend at my computer, sharing my thoughts, with you.

Continuing to isolate yourself, will only lead to further withdrawal. So, try smiling at someone, try bing kind, you might just find what you've been missing.

Answers:

My long held belief is that, the to answer to most questions, can found by asking, to whom do the benefits accrue.

Powerful forces are trying to weaken America's economy and society its purpose, is to establish an atheistic-Marxist, foothold; and future Communist, takeover. All without ever firing a shot.

Toward that goal you'll find: Global Warming, Climate Change, the war on fossil fuel, coal and Nuclear Energy.

Furthermore, the attempt to replace private-public utilities, in favor of solar energy, will enrich, China, a host of groups and individuals.

The cost of utilities for homeowners, will skyrocket.

The Fruits Of Faith:

I was raised in a Catholic home; although my parents, were not regular, church goers, they made sure I was educated in Catholic schools. Catholicism was once unwavering, in its doctrine. Like most, institutions, the Vatican is ruled by the princes of the church: which is to say, they are merely human. And subject to the frailties of mankind.

However, in recent years, the Vatican has been willing to accept a number of social and secular policies, perhaps trying to be all things to all men.

The willingness to negotiate its principals, worries me, along with its silence, on matters of same-sex-marriage and abortion, ignoring critical matters of faith. To its shame, the church has turned a blind eye, to priests molesting children and its failure to address such vital issues. Filling church pews and collection plates, seems its, primary concern.

God, help us !

Simple Pleasures:

It occurred to me: the happiest times of my life, were spent with other people. We are after all social being.

However, it's so easy to forget such things, easier still, to focus on ourselves while at the sometime, withdrawing, especially in this cynical and unfriendly world. Isolation is now social epidemic and responsible for so much misery, we see today.

I was married for 62 years, to the same woman, most of all I miss our conversations, we talked about so many things. An early onset of Alzheimer's changed so much but taking care of her, was not work.

I no longer leave the house these days, I miss grocery shopping, exchanging, pleasantries, with people and most of all telling jokes and seeing them laugh. As a matter of fact, simple pleasures will help you enjoy, your life.

I'm Back:

After a brief, self-imposed hiatus; I'm back. I had reached a point at which, things were becoming increasingly, more difficult and thought it was time to put my writings to rest. Old age along with an old iMac computer, were making my writings difficult.

However, I realized, it's not in my mature to quit. So, I'll pickup where I left off. It's gratifying to know, there are those who actually read what I write. Thank you and I'll continue, as long as I'm able.

And God Said...

"Behold, I send you forth as sheep jn the midst of wolves" Leaving me to wonder, where all the wolves have come from.

The Bible tells us, God created heaven and a host of angels, sharing His wisdom and powers with them, also granting them freewill. However, freewill would beget envy, leading a number of angels to challenge God's authority; thereby, creating a rift. God would cast those angels into hell.

Since, time is meaningless to God, we will never know His timetable of events. God would eventually create man, and like His angels, they received freewill. In time, freewill would beget corruption, leading man into sin.

God, would rebuke mankind on numerous occasions, finally wiping out all but a few righteous individual's to start anew. Eventually, God would make Himself know to the Israelites. God would create Ten Commandments, as a guide to their salvation.

God, rarely intervenes in the lives of men. However, His handoff policy, leaves open the door, to Satin and his minions. A conflict between heaven and hell, would create a tug-of-war existing to this day.

Hell, recruited those, that were corruptible, with ungodly powers, to steal, the souls of men. This struggle will continue, until such time, as the Book of Revelation's prophesy: The End of Days.

At which time, we will experience God's wrath, in a series of natural disasters, pestilence, evil and false profits will prevail; ending in conflict, between the forces of heaven and hell.

Salvation, remains on the table and God is eager to forgive those, willing to repent and accept His forgiveness. I pray you choose God's grace.

Time Is Running Out:

I've spent my last ten years; trying to make sense of this insanity, which is life. Approaching my 91 year, I'm runout of time. Hoping my writings, have caused you to rethink your world views and the propaganda, offered-up as news.

Our world is at war with itself, prompted by forces, within: and those of external enemies, wishing to vanquish, their last foe. It's my most, fervent, hope, that you wil pickup this cross. The only alternative, is to submit, to a form of serfdom and the evil to follow.

Has God Forsaken US:

While offering His "love", God has set us adrift in a violent and corrupt world with only His Commandments: while at the sane time, demonic forces continue, to assail us and our faith.

If you imagine, you are cast, into a vial, world you're right... like rust evil, never sleeps, its corrosive action, never relents. In addition forces beyond our control, conspire against our resolve, Is it any wonder, otherwise devout christians, are feeling anxious.

Satin and his, ungodly forces seem to to be winning, the battle for souls. Unless we turn to God, the future is in doubt.

The Dark Side:

God would create heaven and earth, He also created angels: so they would not be subservient, He granted them free-will. Later, God would created man, also granting him free-will. In order for man to earn passage to heaven, God created Ten Commandments, as a roadmap, to salvation.

Although God rarely intervenes in the affairs of man, His hands-off approach, allows mankind to chose their own path. Satin however, relies on an army of minions, in order tempt mankind.

Meanwhile hell continues to proselytize: religions do have an occult side, as do men. Those whose only purpose is to corrupt, possess a godlike wisdom and are offered up as leaders. This tug-of-war, shall exist until the End of Days; preceded by earth shattering disasters.

The forces of good and evil will clash: and we will know God's wrath.

Antisemitism...

perhaps, the oldest form of racism, has endured for millennia. Labeled as Persona non grata, for their rapacious lending and currency manipulation, in a multitude of nations: today, Jewish banker's, control a vast financial empire. Refuse to submit risks economic ruin.

The Anti Defamation League: ADL, claim its purpose is to fight antisemitism, in reality, it serves to conceal the voracious, and unscrupulous banking practice, victimizing nations. With more than One Hundred Million dollars in funds, to retaliate, using media and money to punish anyone, that dares to critique their practices.

In a series of legislative actions the banking lobby were able to legalize once unserious, interest rates. Banker's have become a powerful legislative force in America. Lobbyist's, on behalf of banking interests, fund millions in political campaigns each year, mow write the laws.

The United States government has been infiltrated, at the highest level: American Jew's, once international outcasts, were readily accepted into American society. So how have they responded. They continue to subvert American interests, in favor of Israel's.

The political-class is in the pocket of Jewish-American lobbyists, not acceding to their demands, would be political, suicide.

American-Jew's, along with European counterparts, fabricated the existence of WMD'S: cajoling G W Bush, into attacking Iraq. The result would destabilize the entire Middle-East, could be trillions.

That's Life:

Bereft of all reason, life remains a mystery. However, attempting to understand, is a fool's errand. Pain sadness and tragedy may leave you bewildered, occupying your every thought.

However, life doesn't stop to console you or give a damn, as you lick your wounds. It's easier to wallow in self pity, rather than picking up the pieces and moving on. That requires a degree of effort. A sense of victory and accomplishment, awaits those who keep on trying.

It's my good fortune, to possess a sense of humor, enabling me to laugh at life's many frustrations, best of all, I am able to laugh at myself. Laughter, is great medicine !

A New World Order:

Anarchy is intended to wipeout culture and all traces of civilization; in preparation for a one-world government. The application of which is now universal and In the hands of powerful groups. The intent is and always been to divide and conquer, resulting in absolute dominance.

Organizations, like the United Nations, along with foreign powers, purse this goal. War, economic chaos and social disorder are but a few instrument's, at their disposal.

If for a moment, you think America is immune from this global corruption, think again. Politics is the dirtiest of businesses, the purpose of government, has always been the exercise of power.

Claims of social and economic justice, are simply a wedge, to create decent, splitting groups against each other. As long as we continue fighting, among our selves we will be susceptible.

Just For Laughs:

A hungry fly circling a barnyard spotted a fresh, steaming pile of manure and then engorged himself. However, being so full, he's unable to fly.

Fortunately, there was a shovel standing in the manure, climbing to the very top, he jumped off, flapping his wings but crashes.

Oh, the moral is ...never fly off the handle, when you're full of shit !

The Fare Sex:

Entering uncharted waters, like truth can be dangerous. But then so is silence. Alimony and palimony, leads us to question the social, moral and legal aspects, of divorce settlements.

Are we to assume, love rather than avaricious, leads women to seek wealthy, successful men, for marriage.

A man seeking alimony, from an affluent female wouldn't stand a snowball's change in hell. So, what entitles a wife to half of a husband's property. Are we to assume, women are not, equally imprudent or deceitful as men, but somehow more virtuous.

Females are no longer a shy, retiring gender; they now demand parity of men; seeking positions as police officers, firefighters and soldiers, etc., yet Incapable of providing for themselves and must be subsidized. Are they less self-sufficient. A growing number of women, young and old, now ascribe to the woke, LGBTQ agenda, along with sexual dysphoria: along with a revolution of men.

Feminism: is nothing more than penis envy.

Who's Law Is It:

We are a nation of laws. evidenced by the fact, there are so many. There is God's Law, absolute and immutable. Then there's man's law, constantly revamped, rewritten or discarded. With each new election cycle, a new regime, disavowing those of the former.

Meanwhile, old laws are as dead as yesterdays news. Laws are merely a political tool and no longer a system of justice; its doubtful justice was ever intended. Perpetuating a constant state of chaos, existing today.

I thought, deciphering law's and their application was the purpose of the Supreme Court.
