POLITICAL ASSIST
Preamble:
I thought this digital periodical should be the opposite of the ‘political theater’ version gracing my website. The focus here will be what America can accomplish with a political system pushing her to do better on behalf of all her citizens. In that spirit I will make this version an upbeat idea filled publication for the ages…
Issue 3: Delusion and Waste
Today was enlightening. Beholding someone in the throes of a delusion and not interrupting has always eluded me. Not this time though as I stood intensely listening with as much of a nonjudgmental face as I could. Truthfully it was as much of an expansion of my consciousness as I’ve read and heard about. A lie isn’t an excuse to immunize anyone from their responsibility to know the truth. Knowing all of this is nothing in and of itself, so what meaning does witnessing delusional behavior that I must conclude to keep my mind free of it?
Understanding the word of God as much as possible informs me that constantly seeking and consuming unrighteousness condemns a person to being judged incompatible to the truth. One, two, three or more instances of hearing, believing, and spreading lies isn’t enough. A person has to actively seek them out to spoil good order and decency. President Putin mistakenly believed that he could wield such a potent power as telling lies that the handling of lies carefully would somehow not touch his garments. Nothing else could explain his total and complete lack of calculus in starting a war with Ukraine.
The next printing of Webster’s Dictionary should have a picture of President Putin by the words ‘miscalculated’, ‘incompetence’, ‘paper tiger’, and ‘delusional’. What a foolish waste of lives, infrastructure and if he had a reputation a reputation in the eyes and minds of other authoritarians. Loose meaning of the word authoritarian I’m going for here to somehow explain all these ‘guys’ lack of real loyalty in the cronies eyeballing them. Really, let’s be real here. It’s not a wanna be strong man they’re sucking up too it’s what they can get from feigning admiration when what they really want to do is put a shiv between their shoulder blades.
Now let me be clear about this because it’s important. Do not attempt to pull someone out of their delusion. Do you understand me? I am with America no matter what and it’s not because I served in the Army. I’m with America because I believe America is the only thing keeping the world from plunging into chaos. Some of you I’m sure didn’t understand the above statement, so I’ll say it another way. America is the world’s best shot bar none! Yes as a Black man I say that as a child of God. America’s strength is borne of a totality of her history which includes her atrocities, reconciliations and her triumphs.
Let your fellow Americans disparage her such as believing claims of biolabs in Ukraine creating toxins to kill us. Believing Ukraine’s Jewish President is a Nazi. Fox News allowing filth spued about President Biden but love and Godspeed for President Putin. When you hear things that seem so outrageous about America ask for proof. Where can I find that and what and where is it coming from. Furthermore, I ask that all media outlets stop lying about Russian citizens being told lies as if they can’t discover the truth for themselves. This isn’t the Era of the Pony Express. This is 2022! Stop it! Russians are capable of finding the truth if they seek it. Russia isn’t North Korea or China and in both those countries you can still find the truth.
The truth is ordained of God. Last time I checked the creature isn’t greater than the Creator! The rest of you Americans that are free it’s time to pick a side. America and her potential (hint she hasn’t fully reached it yet) doesn’t cheer on thugs that have to be bribed to secure their support. Also remember that that type of chain of command is ‘shaky’ and not very trustworthy. Look at that another variation of ‘truth’. In closing I have one more thing. Invading other countries when said country don’t like the leader that’s trying to do it kinda always fails. Just a thought.
