The forces of darkness are working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to further their plans.

While the forces of good feel entitled to never educate or inform themselves on important issues. In order to defend their own rights, standard of living and freedoms.

This imbalance leads to crisis multiplying to further negative agendas. While people in general remain complacent and illiterate to comprehend relevant problems. Much less fix them.

It's worse than that. The forces of evil are in charge, so good solutions can't be implemented.

Entity: injected in a ,peoples constitution, is the foundation of the problem. Solution... remove it. Entity is legal umbrella term where all things to do with profit fall under entity. Or one can look at it in this lens... Corporations , banks, Fed etc etc have rights in the constitution. Which, when broken down to basic reality, a dollar has more rights than us serfs....period. Why? Because entity does not think like a person in linear thought process. Entity thinks in generational process. Example: 18 hundreds entity gets an amendment to constitution and it sits there unnoticed by the linear thinking person and another amendment for entity in 1913 and another in 1972 (by this time linear thinking people have died but entity has not) and another in 2010. That is federal level gov.101 . Hope that helps . What is a lobbyist and do you have one? Surmise it to say, you have no representation... period serf.

I agree. The people and their elected representatives have little power against vested financial interests or bureaucratic government agencies.

I just wonder will government make that harder to do in the up and coming years. As government grows and begins control more of the lives of its citizens. I live in a small town so i have not felt to controlling hand that much, but from what it seems like in these large cities government is really controlling.

As people flee the rotting cities, like rats deserting a sinking ship, they will bring those problems with them to your small town. :eek:

True. There is a smug self-righteous attitude that lends itself to complacency among many who know what is right. I sometimes feel that way myself. But it is very discomfiting to know what should be done and not being able to do anything about it.

It is in hopes that people will start to understand the true landscape and quit pointing to a dem or rep as these work for entity firstly, what is campaigning for money/entity? Who has it all? Entity does. How much time is spent campaigning in 2 year bid? I will answer that ... 1 year, which means there is no "for the people" two years of guiding policies .

This AZ election audit that encompasses "entity" in right vs wrong and shows what is against the populous by omition by entity (what is mainstream news but a multinational corp? Thus, entity will not report on entity or it will tell untruth ((Fauci E mails for proof against narrative)) ). With todays tech, do we really believe money is not in contact with money to control what you see? What is skyp under corporate security? That said to say this, when we break out of the program fed to us by sincere ignorance of people we love as they taught us what they were taught and look at the true landscape of fed level policy in truth... Then we come together as a human firstly and look at things through the lens of right vs wrong. Yet, even the people reporting on it use the program language of left vs right but maybe the few that read this find merit in a truth of these two writings (post 22 Combined ) might spread the word.

However, the populous must adopt new terminology like entity vs populous and operate in truth of landscape. When we operate in placing right vs wrong in terminology of right/republican vs left/democrat it succinctly puts a mind under designed program (politics). Terminology learned in said program (self investment in learning/ thus, will defend it) to lament about injustices to separate self from trusting the root of all evil ... Money... as written in the bible and that which controls us people. Furthermore, given rights, in generational thinking process as stated in post 22. As said in post 22 entity outlives us, like, but not limited too... A note left in corporations file 70 years ago for the linear thinking ceo to update amendment to constitution.

Thanks for letting me spew, lol.

Mississippi you do not move to, you move away from. they will go to Texas or Florida

Must be something in the water. :eek:
I know you do not want to hear every time there is a murder, but there was another murder Wednesday. So i am guessing 13 ? for the year.

We also had elections two weeks ago, the same people (city council and mayor) were voted back in.

Except for the one city council person who did not run again because of age 89 (i think). But he orchestrated his replacement.

We do not need large cities to have trouble.

Where i live (14,000) we had 23 murders last year and as of June of 2021 we have had 11 murders (that is not counting any that may have happened this weekend).

Yikes, that is an extremely high murder rate. I might even be the highest in the country, stay safe!

It is high, especially for a town of 14,000

How about this for government.
Clarksdale, Ms. The mayor of a Mississippi Delta city of 15,000 - people is now getting paid more than the state’s governor. 90% of these government politicians in Clarksdale are democrats

Clarksdale Ms. Clarksdale’s board (city commissioners) and mayor voted in their own pay raise.
Mayor Chuck Espy got a nearly $36,000 pay raise. It brings his salary to 122,421 dollars. That’s several hundred dollars more than Gov. Tate Reeves makes a year.
Also the city commissioners were given $22,000+ dollar pay raises, i believe there are 6 or 7.

You really do not know how sorry this town is. Over the last 20+ years the town once had 20,000 to 25,000+ citizens. Murder/crime are all over the place.

The really sad part in all this is that these political crooks will be reelected again when Clarksdale has the city's next election in a few years.

You make some good points.

I like the question, so I'm going to try to answer it in my own terms.

Firstly, in many instances the root of a given problem is unclear and often politicized. In many cases its often a mixture of the different narratives. We want a solution that is simple, but the problems are perhaps infinitely complex.

As I frequently say, "There is always more than one thing happening."

Secondly, solving a problem is not solving all problems. You might find a solution to a particular problem which then goes on to cause another problem. Sometimes the potential problems that might be caused by are particular solution are enough to negate solving the initial problem.

Unintended consequences. And sometimes people presume that because a solution was put in place, the problem must be solved, therefore remove the solution. However, the problem might not have been solved...and some problems are endemic to society or human nature, like rust on a ship, so the solution must remain in place forever.

Thirdly, responsibility is diffused. A lot of problems would require action to be taken that everyone just passes on to someone else. Take litter for instance, many complain about it, few actually go and pick it up.

Fourthly, democracy stiffles things. Because politicians are trying to win elections, they are trying to keep everyone happy. But few real solutions would avoid alienating voters, especially on controversial issues. Many don't want to risk losing a chunk of their voter base.

Which is why a problem that takes longer than a presidential term to solve probably won't ever be solved again.

Much of our economy is built on managing, not solving, problems. Big city violence can be reduced by locking up the street gangs that sell drugs. All that is needed is the legislation to do so. Drug use (and overdose deaths) can be reduced by hospitalizing users and addicts. Legislation is also needed for that, along with the will to do it.

A perfect world has no need to change. If someone wants to change the world, they must convince others that the world is imperfect. A great number of problems, or perceived problems, means that a great amount of change can occur. The ruling class for whatever reason are intent on dramatically changing the world.

With Ms. Merkel stepping down perhaps Germany will try to fill the power void in the democratic west that America will leave. :eek:
