"On Truth Social, Trump posted a courtroom sketch of him sitting next to Jesus, because - if there's one guy whose trial famously ended well - it's Jesus."
'Maybe it's something to do with me being Pisces, one fish going this way, the other that way. There are periods when I can't stop chanting, and other periods when I turn into a demon again.'
(Maybe it was something to do with him believing bullshit,...)
As Sagan explained, collectively, talk of demons and belief in crystals are evidence - that society's already in Hell - or, at the very least, on the edge of a black hole before entering. He said the culture is getting totally stretched-out, as "we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness." He totally predicted people, today, trying to fill a bucket full of holes with imaginary water. Literally, coming undone.
And, even worse, we can do nothing to stop it. In Hell, we're too smart for that. For instance, tell people that doing yoga 'for exercise' doesn't change the fact the practice itself is religious, and they don't care. NewAge arrogance, and ambivalence are doing the real stretching - but of society's fabric: They become more fanatical, rigid, and insist on the practice, never noticing the Modi government - that has been promoting yoga worldwide - is also doing the same: by all accounts, becoming more fascist by the day.
America's going through it, but all we talk about is how partisan everybody is now. In Hell. That's our bullshit: focussing almost exclusively on politics, as politicians encourage us to find a religion to guide our lives. No one asks what influence, say, Oprah has had over Obama. Like - except for the fact we're in Hell - how'd she win the 2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom, after promoting The Secret, John of God, and making "America's Doctor" out of a quack named Oz? Aren't those NewAge "achievements" that could only win rewards in Hell, from a (formally-assumed) "Lightbringer"?
The best we can hope for, is that one step-forward, two steps-back, contradictory force of nature called "The Human Condition" to pull us out of all this. Like when Dave Chappelle, and a French Doctor, both notice "a cavity is not a vagina." That's a glitch in the Matrix. And thank goodness for them, because we need all the glitches we can get.
How can this 2004 Dave Chappelle special open with a description of Gavin Newsom's San Francisco, featuring crackheads and open criminality, yet the media is just now asking when, why, and how everything went wrong - like they don't know?
How can a laptop that belongs to Hunter Biden, and features crack smoking and international criminality, be suppressed by social media, so the press can pretend they don't know?
August 25, 2023, an angry white man tells me: "The history of slavery is nearly the history of mankind. Try to stop thinking you are special," as I consider even Dave Chappelle needing space from such people.
August 26, 2023: a white man fatally shoots 3 Black people at a Florida store in a hate crime, then kills himself, as I listen to blacks still teaching each other history, in our country that's still too ashamed to do it right.
I was going to do a post about how the 1990’s term “woke” is being used incorrectly in the NewAge, but thought it more informative to first mention what it means to be “canceled” by the movement. Many might be under the impression it just adds up to someone famous getting heckled. Or shouted down on Twitter (X). But, you don’t have to be famous. And, if you’re not, the consequences can go much, much farther, and cut much, much deeper, than anyone famous ever imagined. I've already mentioned one job I lost over astrology at a hospital, and another I had to walk away from (at a car dealership) over the 2012 Mayan calendar phenomena. How important is your job to you? Or, if they were just normal people - not rich and famous celebrities - I wonder how well Dave Chappelle would handle his wife leaving him for someone worse than Dr. Oz, and everybody being really, really excited about it? Walk with me:
We should've all had a good laugh at the idea Hillary Clinton thinks we miss her after she brought psychics in the White House. Or, as First Lady, established the fever-brained, post-60’s, modern day conception of a "vast" (non-existent) "conspiracy" in American politics, conveniently involving (wouldn’t you know it?) the American right-wing, and then Russia, just when she needs them. And - I have to mention it - she's married to a man who, three very good journalists confirmed, is a one-time but, may be a three-time, rapist. He also just happened to be the guy who established the fraud of “alternative” medicines (which got the whole anti-vaccine ball rolling….). I say all this, to submit to you, that - just like with the kinky Biden family or when Obama decided to campaign with Oprah and the media didn't say anything about Shirley MacLaine or fraud - in any “village” run by these strange people, and their supporters, there were, have been, are, and will be, the wrongly persecuted. That's what this combination came to in Nazi Germany, and that's what it means in the NewAge.
An aside: when the Clintons revealed themselves, Hillary and her husband were studying "The Theory of Everything" under the cult leader, Ken Wilber. He was with Marc Gafni, the former "spiritual advisor" to Whole Foods, who was later found to be a rapist of young girls. Ken Wilbur once explained that the reason why Marc Gafni raped was because he had a lot of "Shakthi". I assume Bill Clinton, too, must have a lot of "Shakti", as did their friends, Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein. But I digress - I can do that when pondering the NewAge "scene" - back to what it means to be "canceled" by these people:
If you're in a Democrat party stronghold, it means you're doomed. In case you didn't notice, Hillary's supporters got pretty torn-up about not winning the 2016 election. More torn-up than America has ever seen Americans ever get, over anyone losing an election. Nervous breakdown. And these people now surround you, for years, demanding you agree Russia hoaxes are real (without evidence), homeopathy is medicine (without evidence), and all Republicans are evil monsters who must be destroyed (without evidence). That's the NewAge mindset, and no one's going to dig too deeply, to ask why. You're just supposed to play along - or else. It's a recipe for conflict. I've seen Doctors who think spreading Trump hatred is just good bedside manners.
Take this photo of Yours Truly with Justine Gilcrease, at Justine's Brasserie in Austin, Texas. This was years before Donald Trump ever even thought of becoming president. Having known Justine since she was 16, she invited me to Austin for a visit, and wanted to document my arrival with a picture. Unbeknownst to me, by the time this was snapped, she had already told, what seemed like her entire staff - filled mostly with angry women - something I had no reason to tell anyone, beyond a close friend:
I had left the Democrat party.
That was pretty much the beginning to the end of my friendship with Justine. I won't go into the details, but that visit was punctuated by unknown women, coming up to me and screeching about their reproductive rights, a dinner party argument over the efficacy of homeopathy for use on newborns, and sticking me with some psychotic black woman (who supposedly had stolen from the restaurant) for no other reason than I was the only other black person around on an outing. Oh, and I've been downgraded in Justine's eyes from a "great artist" she's known for decades to, apparently, less than an on-call DJ she can hardly bear to speak to.
My point being: this is how Hillary supporters were acting before Trump.
And the left have been ramping themselves up to complete insanity for quite a while: I lost one friend (whose business mentions his "Third Eye" in its title) for merely saying the name "Clinton" before 7 AM. Another over his insistence that Google's A.I. is now God-like (I wasn't given the option to disagree). I had to stop playing music with a fellow recording artist because he refused to refrain from talking about astrology. And, over the years, I'd also lost my wife to a homeopath (something that isn't supposed to be scientifically possible) a job with Hyatt Hotels over words being violence, and - as you can see illustrated above - my right to free speech, on Facebook, over my keen propensity for spreading smut.
How is anyone supposed to live, much less work, walking on eggshells like this? That's what being canceled becomes. Tell me anything, listed above, that I could've known, beforehand, would've gotten anyone in trouble. Words are violence? Which words? Where are they posted? I'd never heard of a homeopath before my French wife ran away with the one who was treating her mother when she died. (Most of our friends thought she'd run away with a Doctor until France admitted he was a quack in 2019. Imagine losing a debate, with an entire French village, over whether their local physician is real - and you're right the whole time - but they get to dismiss and belittle you, in part because you're an American, and in part because your wife has run away with the fraud. Think of the implications. Think of the humiliation for all around. "It takes a village" to be a fool, too). I always assumed I could be in any political party I wanted.
Most people, including most Americans, know their "star sign" better than the three branches of government, so there goes any chance for a meaningful political conversation in a café, or the expectation for a reasonable anything, almost anywhere. Jimmy Dore now thinks it's brave to interview AIDS maven, Marianne Williamson, AKA Oprah's former "spiritual advisor", and a woman who translated the Bible for the NewAge movement. I'm horrified, coming right after Dr. Oz - the quack Oprah turned into "America's Doctor" - tried to gain power by running for the U.S. Senate. And that, after Oprah campaigned with Obama, which should've given everyone pause: Why was Obama, of all people, running with someone who said "The Secret" was science, and why was the media not acting like it? How did Obama give the U.S. Medal of Freedom - America's highest civilian honor - to someone who would say such a thing? Asking will get you identified as someone who needs to be canceled. And asking Kamala Harris how she found herself dating Montel Williams will not only get you canceled, but might even get you killed: He's in the NewAge movement and a Marine.
You can't mention it was three years before we discovered Harvey Milk stole his election, after Hillary and the Democrats have demanded the benefit of the doubt, regarding their party and stolen elections. That can get you canceled. Pointing out Harvey Milk - also a Marine - was an early Jussie Smollett, who got bombs and blew up his own camera shop before blaming heterosexuals for it to gain sympathy for his political campaign, can also get you canceled. Exposing the fact Harvey Milk manipulated Jimmy Carter to help kidnap a child for the cult leader, Jim Jones, will also get you canceled. By Sean Penn, at least. Because that changes who Harvey Milk was, and thus, how U.S. history is unfolding, all the way up to the "Barbie" movie. And it's all a lie.
Basically, once the NewAge started demanding we live their lies, we could expect to be canceled. And my experience says,. on the ground-level, they'll get you in every way possible.
Final aside: You rarely hear the Jefferson Starship’s 1985 hit “We Built This City” in San Francisco anymore. Which is fitting, because A) that song has always sucked anal biscuits, and B) they probably no longer want to take responsibility for everybody dropping acid to chase white rabbits and mice and shit.
"The whole country has turned into bitch-assed niggas."
And those bitch-assed niggas just stole an American election. So, now, they're not just being a buncha bitch-assed niggas, but they're also back to being unjustifiably SMUG about being a buncha bitch-assed niggas. And, somehow - they think - that's gonna translate into "unity" with an administration featuring a woman who'd sleep with Montel Williams. They've completely lost the plot.
Two guys who are not big fans of the facts - just chatting away.
Adam Corolla's mutterings remind me that America was founded by Thomas Jefferson, the man who wrote "All Men Are Created Equal" while owning slaves. Corolla speaks of himself (not the government) "giving" money to people who, he full well knows, are expecting money to be returned - and he's smart enough to know these are not the same thing. Corolla is really seeing himself as a white elitist, dispensing charity, rather than just a white guy who's incapable of grasping the truth:
We're the Founding Fathers, capishe?
This is about the nation admitting to, and paying for, a crime.
"If they shop at Whole Foods, we shop somewheres else."
Most of what else Corolla says is just as ill-informed and misguided.
Long story-short, Corolla's another member of The New Worried Well (who we should show concern for) endorsing rape and plunder, while Dave Chappelle haunts their dreams, and acts out their nightmares:
Here's the best part, the part that screams "love" and "respect" and the American Dream:
"Chappelle,…promised that he would not return without changes to the production, such as a better working environment,…Chappelle expressed disdain at the possibility of his material from the unfinished third season being aired, saying that to do so would be "a bully move," and that he would not return to the show if Comedy Central were to air the unfinished material. On July 9, 2006, Comedy Central aired the first episode of Chappelle's Show: The Lost Episodes. An uncensored DVD release of the episodes was made available on July 25."
Sure, why he'd stop working with his "friends" is a mystery,...
