Trump and the insane merry go round.

I remember reading an interview of Ron DeWolfe. Now to give some context, Ron DeWolfe is the son of L Ron Hubbard and was one of the main assistance to his father in formation of the Church of Scientology.. Now the subject of the interview was of course Scientology and how people could be made to do outrageous things in our supposedly "modern" era. DeWolfe said something in that interview but never quite left me, and indeed really seems to resonate with the present moment.

He said "people think that insane people are very unpredictable, the reality is quite the opposite. People were insane are caught on the merry-go-round of their own sickness, which means they have no choice but to repeat the same behaviors over and over again."

I have to confess whenever I see Trump try to lie about stuff that is on videotape and when I see his supporters blatantly believe him to the point were even the Oxford dictionary has has admitted the word "truthiness" as a real word pertaining to politics this quote just rang in my mind. The truth is, you're not just merely talking about evil. This goes beyond malice, goes beyond selfishness, were even simple sadism itself. We're talking about a bunch of people were been so wrapped up in their patterns that literally they cannot act in any other way. That is why, despite the fact that common sense would say "this pattern has to stop sometime" we cannot assume it will. It will not end until those on the merry-go-round Trump himself to those idiots in three states wind up being stuck, where they simply cannot repeat the same pattern, because some external force has made it impossible for them.


What is that mean in practical terms? Well for the idiots in the three states that voted for him, as well as anyone else wearing those stupid red hats, it will be when their bills get higher and the jobs are thinner. This is bad for two reasons: one, it takes us down with them and two, they have a new bandage in the form of religion, which sad to say, many times is absolutely nothing but a reinforcer of bad patterns. The fact that Jim Bakker,former jailbird, and fleece her of his flock as come out for Trump should let us know that the religions are very ready to support Trump because they make money every time this merry-go-round goes round. There is absolutely nothing better for them than to have a bunch of people who are starving, helpless and completely without government support, because the truth is when the church gets to determine whether or not you get to eat or not, they get power.

The only thing we can do is to make sure that we support each other, and that would hold fast for the point even Trump cannot spin this merry-go-round anymore. Unfortunately, it's going to be a lot longer than we think, because it will not stop just because people are forced to confront the lies that they told themselves, it will not stop until something external forces it to stop. Yes I do mean external, an example of which will be what happens when the Chinese realize that Vladimir Rasputin is trying to use America as a chess piece in a trade war. The fact that the first order of business was to threaten the one China policy is no accident, and even if a lot of Americans cannot admit that Vlad is playing puppetmaster, the folks in Beijing do. Or it simply could be that the corporations, reeling from the billions of dollars that will be lost in trying to repeal Obama care alone, will realize that poor sick slaves don't produce, and they won't spend even at Walmart. Then at that point Trump will run into things that are meant to look natural but come straight from the same Wall Street puppet masters that's he has served for the folks Wall Street serves.

All the same, the merry-go-round that we have been spinning on is coming to a halt. That does not mean that America itself is dead, indeed, now that the same old forces cannot gaslight us into behaving into very predictable patterns which they had mapped out in the polls, funds, fake news etc. etc., we might finally be able to start moving in the direction we want instead of being spun round and round for the profits of those who want to keep us dizzy, fixed, and helpless.

fasten your seatbelts going to be a bumpy ride.
