NOT STOPPING THE HATE

America chose NOT to stop the hate of DJT. 48.2% voted for Clinton; 46.1% voted for Trump; 5.7% voted for other candidates. In reality, these percentages were based on who voted and NOT on the total eligible electorate. 42.1% of the eligible electorate did NOT vote at all! And what about the Electoral College? A group of elitists chosen in each state to reflect the popular vote and did NOT do their jobs because of the many perks that they would receive from outside powers. We cannot find any money trails because these ‘promises’ were forged by Russian Oligarchs to benefit the electors. I had found links to prove this but they disappeared from my computer due to an infection that I cleaned out but left no trail. I have been trying to recover them but to no avail. Clinton clearly won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes! And the electors were ‘supposed’ to reflect that and didn’t! Why? They are crooked, dishonest and self-serving!!!

Going high when others go low means that you continue to state the truth despite outright lies, innuendo and spin. It means that you project the truth even though others choose NOT to reflect it. It means that you continue to speak the truth in the face of adversity and you NEVER stoop to their ‘low’ level by controlling, dominating and manipulating the facts to your own end. It means that you do what is necessary to hold the truth in high regard. If what someone else does diminishes, hurts or takes advantage of others by them then you KNOW it is wrong and demeaning to everyone. If you choose to support anyone who denigrates others then you are just as guilty of this aberrance as they are. You are despicable, reprehensible and selfish. If you cannot see this then you are manipulated by your erroneous beliefs and do not KNOW reality. You live in a fantasy world of beliefs that you choose to believe in more than follow the truth.

May God have mercy on your twisted and selfish soul. You will reap what you have sown just as sure as dropping a book from a tall building will move toward the earth until it strikes it. What you give out returns to you tenfold because it builds momentum based on its inherent energy being amplified by your attraction action; just like gravity. The mutual plowshares we have forged together to grow this world will be forged into weapons behind a Fascist DJT. They will be used to advance him more than any one of us. He IS a silver spoon who has lived a life where he has taken advantage of the system to his own ends and gives not a rat’s ass about you or me. You have chosen the image over the reality and you WILL suffer the consequences. The only problem is that you have inflicted those consequences on the rest of us who chose to move forward in peace, order and sanity instead of dissension, chaos and lunacy. You will have to deal with the decision you have made. ~Dean A. Banks, D.D. 

What happens when an important element of growth and expansion is lost, ignored or never realized? Moreover, what happens when that dysfunctional element is disseminated to a majority of the population? The question becomes is that dysfunctional element so unrecognized that it becomes a societal norm? So is the case with ‘thinking’. Most people define thinking as emotionally reacting to events, occurrences, situations, circumstances or the behavior of others or objects. However, this is NOT thinking! An example of emotional reaction over thinking is when someone who is quite vocal about and issue is confronted with the question, “Who said this” or “Where did you get this information” that their response is, “Well, I’ve heard things.” WTF??? You’ve HEARD things? From what source? Did what you’ve heard been verified as being true or is it just what you WANT to believe?

If it has been verified, then how many times has it consistently occurred for you to ‘believe’ in it? Once, twice, thrice? Or did you believe in it because it aligned with your manifest agenda? Thinking is ‘evaluating’ observed factual information and correlating whether or not it is beneficial to all or just you. If it is discerned by your mind as being beneficial to all, then it is a functional societal norm. If it is judged by your heart as being beneficial to only you, then it can become and aberrance to your individual self-survival; and to your growth and expansion as well. The dysfunctional element in our society today is the fact that most people don’t think things through in their minds enough to proact for their future AND the future of others. They emotionally react from their hearts because it protects their beliefs, whether they are accurate or erroneous, and keeps them in their comfort zone.

I was raised in a Republican family and came to know the values associated with that mindset and heartset. In fact, the first time I voted at the age of 18 I voted for Nixon. I did not know any better but came to learn the differences between conservative and liberal philosophies. Conservatives want to keep things as they are in order to reap the benefits for themselves and others who believe as they do. They deny the tenets of liberalism because it threatens their very existence. It takes the focus off of ‘me’ and places it more on ‘we’. In this they see their loss of power to be the middleperson that controls the flow of resources and derives a profit forthwith. They are more concerned about how they can profit from the labors and consumption of others than how those who labor can live in a pursuit of happiness. In order to reframe their selfish image they have invented the term, “Compassionate Conservative.” What the hell is that?

By the very nature of conservatism it is NOT compassionate; it is selfish, self-centered and self-aggrandizing. The definition of a Compassionate Conservative is “a political conservative who is motivated by concern for the needy but supports policies based on personal responsibility and limited government” [dictionary.com]. Is this concern genuine or situational? Are their motivations truly a concern for the needy or are they focused on how they can make a profit as a result of the situation? The very heart and soul of Capitalism is control, domination and manipulation; traits of the selfish ego. Capitalism is defined as “an economic system in which investment in and ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange of wealth is made and maintained chiefly by private individuals or corporations, especially as contrasted to cooperatively or state-owned means of wealth” [dictionary.com]. Capitalism exists within our governmental system we call a Democracy.

Democracy is defined as “government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised directly by them or by their elected agents under a free electoral system” [dictionary.com].But are we truly a Democracy? We are technically a Republic! A Republic is “a state in which the supreme power rests in the body of citizens entitled to vote and is exercised by representatives chosen directly or indirectly by them” [dictionary.com]. We have just witnessed a popular vote of almost 3 million votes being tallied for HRC and yet DJT won the election! The Electoral College voted him in because the electors, who are oligarchs of their individual States violated their mandate to align their votes with the popular votes. Why would they do this? What would cause them to defy the public? The fine in most states is $1000 for doing this. Is that enough of a fine to hinder their charge and duty to fulfill their obligation to the citizenry?

Electors are businessmen and government leaders who operate on increasing their bottom line. They received ‘promises’ and ‘perks’ from the 5 Russian Oligarchs to that own DJT that cannot, in effect, be traced because they haven’t been fulfilled yet. These electors now have the in roads to prime real estate in Russia to develop businesses that will increase their bottom lines. All at our expense because our Supreme Court allowed Citizens United to permit foreign monies to influence our elections! We were sold down the river by people who were supposed to be operating in our best interests and in actuality, were operating in THEIR best interests. This dysfunctional behavior has been spread worldwide and now rules the planet with those who seek to edify themselves more than others. In actuality, we are a Republic (~70%) with Socialism (~30%). Socialism is defined as “a theory or system of social organization that advocates the vesting of the ownership and control of the means of production and distribution, of capital, land, etc., in the community as a whole” [dictionary.com].

We have the best of both worlds because our system allows our citizens to invest in this country and their citizens (taxes) and benefit from their paid premiums (Unemployment, Medicare, Social Security). The conservatives have taken the stance that we are a ‘nanny’ state when in fact we are the ones who have contributed to our own system to allow us to retire when we are no longer able to effectively work. In essence, we are a Republic based on Democratic Socialism. Democratic Socialism is “a modified form of socialism achieved by a gradual transition by and under democratic political processes” [dictionary.com].

The facts are the facts. You can argue with them all that you want until the cows come home and they will still be what they are whether or not you choose to believe in them. When people yearn to manifest their agenda more than seek the truth they end up doing what Congress has done the last 8 years and fight not only what they don’t want, but who represents what they don’t want. They are bullies on a playground looking to control, dominate and manipulate reality to suit their selfish needs. They have successfully spread the childish principle of ‘me’ over ‘we’. Those who deny the truth will be ensnared by its consequences because they have emotionally reacted to it in a resistive way more than thinking proactively in allowing things to grow and expand naturally.

Without their egos’ demands for edification of self only, they would stand a chance in becoming more than they allow themselves to be. Trump, his cronies, Ryan and McConnell are prime examples of the old school which is dying a miserable death. Now that they have power they will do everything that they can to bring about their fallacies and fantasies and the American will see firsthand just how selfish they are. The electorate will finally see that voting them in was NOT in their best interests because it is they who will ultimately suffer and NOT them. Be focused on the truth despite the aberrances of selfish conservative Republican egomaniacs that only yearn to use you for their own best interests. May God bless all of us! ~Dean A. Banks, D.D.
