TODAY CRYPTOCURRENCIES LIKE BITCOIN, ETHEREUM AND MULTIPLE ALTCOINS ARE ALL THE RAGE. THESE NEW AND EMERGING FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS ARE ATTRACTING PEOPLE WITH THE HOPE FOR OR PROMISE OF FINANCIAL GAIN, AND ACCUMULATING WEALTH. THOSE EXPECTING TO FIND OR EXPLOIT ANOTHER GET RICH QUICK SCHEME WILL DISCOVER THAT BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES ARE NOT THE TYPE OF VEHICLE THEY THINK IT IS. THIS POST IS FOR ANYONE DESIRING TO GAIN A BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF HOW A BLOCKCHAIN'S UNIQUE OPERATING STRUCTURE CANNOT BE UNDERMINED. BY EXAMINING SPECIFIC BLOCKCHAIN FUNCTIONS, WE HOPE TO EXPOSE AND HIGHLIGHT HOW MANY OF THE ENBEDDED PURPOSELY DESIGNED FEATURES IN BLOCKCHAIN ALGORITHMS AUTOMATICALLY INSURE INTEGRITY WHILE LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD.*CLICK THE > ARROWS TO PLAY MEDIA AND THE DARK GREEN LETTERING FOR LINKS*What makes us so sure that the money we have in the bank is safe and secure? Why do we have confidence in things we order from catalog's or online? Do we know that the food we eat from our favorite pizza, deli or sub shop is fresh and untainted? Are we sure that the vote we cast was counted and matters? When we lend or borrow what assures us of the good faith of our fellow man? The answer is simple. We have some form of a trust relationship with them. We either have some system that assures us that our transactions will be honored and/or we just trust them! Why do we make and sign contracts or give out and save receipts? The answer is simple we want "proof of purchase" or "proof of work." Today we have a centralized government with courts, legislatures, lawyers, laws and police to enforce them. Most of these entities were created to guarantee "integrity," insure "security" or protect us from "fraud." The need for collateral results from a lack of trust between parties. Laws were not created to be broken, laws were created to correct offenses. The overhead and costs associated with these things can be mitigated if not totally eliminated through "BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGIES." Its all about learning "trust relationships" in a different way. Working with the principles of interdependence is a natural fit. Blockchain is our best answer to "the cost of trust." WHY DO WE TRUST THE STRENGTH OF A CHAIN'S MULTIPLE LINKS?A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Any system with fallible components such as human beings is always subject to errors at any link. So why do we continue to depend on these systems even when they seem to fail? Maybe its because traditionally they've been in operation for so long that we've really been forced to trust them. Why else would we perform multiple voting recounts using the same tools and methods if we believed that the system was flawed? Fortunately, today there is a trustworthy, decentralized, transparent, incorruptible, immutable distributed system of rule. Equity, fairness, and goodness can be codified. We now have a computer algorithm based on trust and a "codependent coding scheme" that requires shared consensus. It's not a sci-fi Utopian ideology or a religious theocracy; it's the already existing "Golden Rule." This is the main principle that the world has failed to abide by. Today it can be administered digitally; and its called blockchain. News, information or rhetoric must be trusted, vetted or verified through some medium. "Fake news," is not really news at all even if we believe it is. What would happen if all news was vetted through this new peer to peer shared platform of exchange secured by computer algorithms? If all news was blockchained there would be no fictitious element that couldn't be traced back to its original source by verifying each block that supplied some "proof of work" to build the "record" within the chain. Even if someone succeeds in putting a lie into the news it would be caught because it wouldn't coincide with all of the other blocks on the "distributed ledger." Blockchain technology could have been used to log ("block") and track our current virus pandemic and its path. It still can be used to efficiently deploy vaccinations worldwide, but it's doubtful that the corporations behind the vaccines would be willing to divulge their skewed strategies to the scrutiny of blockchain's transparency models. Blockchain establishes immediate verifiable "trust relationships" through its dynamically distributed and shared models of verification based on mutual agreement. Whether it's a total sample, overwhelming consensus, slim majority or selected minority algorithm, its design makes it logically infallible. Any asset including wealth, order, position, power or information can be blockchained. Blockchain technologies can add another layer of identity security on top of current facial recognition technologies. Unauthorized or malicious actors identified at the point of exploit are initially denied and eventually eliminated with blockchain technologies. EVOLUTION OR REVOLUTION - THE CHOICE OPTIONAL - THE END ENEVITABLECompetition is a mechanism and a vehicle for allowing simple accomplishments to become even greater ones. Whenever a record is broken and a new milestone is achieved the excellence of greatness births magnificence! When the "energy of magnificence" is used as incentive for growth and motivation nothing else can come close. Being victorious and winning is always the fruit of this type of effort. However there are few things more intoxicating then the thrill of the win. Unfortunately our history and society has unwittingly taught us to indulge in this poisonous passion. Believe it or not, there is always a win - win scenario if we look for it. But being hardwired to win at all costs rarely allows us the perspective to see it. The best investments we can make in life is in people. He that is faithful in that which is least is also faithful in that which is much. This is a concept that most of us are not open to accept or believe. Our neural networks form the "habits of thoughts" we use in our daily endeavors. Being raised and bred in a capitalistic system has conditioned us to behave selfishly. Perhaps that's why we've continually failed to follow the best path or what is commonly known as the "golden rule." The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as we desire to be treated. It is a maxim that is found in most religions and cultures. It might be considered an ethic of reciprocity. In retrospect, there has always been a concept called "creative destruction" quietly impacting our progress. Whether we characterize it as evolution or revolution "creative destruction" is an inevitable factor in advancement. "Creative destruction" is the force behind innovations like Uber and Lyft that are decimating our traditional taxicab transportation models. These newer decentralized models with centralized management are not blockchained but like every other business enterprise will be susceptible to "premature obsolescence" if they themselves fail to evolve. In Marxist economic theory "creative destruction" refers more broadly to the inherently ruinous processes that sabotages the accumulation of unevenly shared wealth and subsequently annihilates that wealth in order to clear the ground for the creation of new wealth. New wealth can be created through "blockchain technologies" by approaching it from one of two perspectives. The first way is to identify a real world problem(s) that the proposed blockchain can solve, then assemble and activate the assets to accomplish the goal(s). The second way is to accumulate and assemble any available assets, then begin brainstorming while examining the assets to determine what real world problem(s) the collective assets can solve. NEW ADVANCEMENTS DEMAND A NEW WAY TO APPLY THEMHistorically, the greatest civilizations, nations, societies, governments, leaders and people have always resisted change. Sparta, one of the most important Greek city-states that reigned throughout the archaic and classical periods established their dominance through military prowess. However, conquerors must also be able to control and govern the new people and territories they rule. The Spartans were no exception and had to manage vast territories. Eventually, their hard won victory over their rival city-state, the Athenians, led to their downfall. Military superiority was no match for the cultural corruption that commerce and capitalism created. More then anything, the Spartans failure to adapt, grow and change with the times led to their demise. Let's face it, we are not the rational creatures we perceive ourselves to be. If we choose to believe something we will hold that belief regardless of evidence or fact even if it kills us. Consider our response to Covid-19, global warming, and religious beliefs. Is it the governments job to protect us from ourselves? Consider the history of cults. There are cults which predicted the end of days and even advocated suicide. There were people that believed and followed. If we truly believe something no amount of logic can convince us otherwise. To prevent the average person from gambling their life's fortunes away on high risk investments or high odd bets, laws were enacted to protect the average naive citizen. Gambling and investing are both regulated! Everyone is aware of their states gambling laws and the "Securities act of 1933" created a special class of accredited investors to keep us from being victimized with fraudulent financial schemes. Is society protecting us from ourselves or are we being kept from accessing some of the privileges of society? Why do we still have insider trading, manipulative practices and "Ponzi schemes" in spite of our regulations? To date, there always seems to have been a way to beat or cheat the system! IF WHAT WE ARE SAYING TODAY IS TRUE, APPLYING THE TECHNOLOGY OF BLOCKCHAIN TO BUSINESS AND GOVERNMENT WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY WE COEXISTENCE ON THIS PLANET! True blockchains automatically create digital integrity. Blockchain levels the playing field. Blockchain insures that whatever win-win "smart contract" was written is autonomously enforced. Blockchain is both a program/app and a platform without exclusivity. Blockchain eliminates the overhead of multiple institutions and layers we have traditionally used as checks and balances. Blockchain involves joint assets connected by shared authority jointly vetted, while simultaneously being accurately and evenly distributed. Transparent open access also allows unabated individual activity monitored by every link collectively and regulated by shared "proof of work" rules of trust agreed to by all of the linked blocks in the chain. Even predictions from weather forecasts to environmental projections, global warming, global pandemics and other prognostications or breakthroughs can be scrutinized through the lens of blockchain technologies with alarming accuracy. Applying current algorithms to previously proven predictions like the video below can illustrate this point. YES THERE IS A METHOD TO THE MADNESSThe reason they call it blockchain is because it consists of multiple individual links called blocks, significantly joined notwithstanding their overall place of importance. Now regardless of rank or status every facet that composes any part of every block has a measurable value. There is a behind the scenes, invisible chaining algorithm (whether digital, spiritual or virtual) combining the value of each independent link in a mathematically shared interdependent formula. The unified value derived from all of the accumulated information (data) is verified through some "proof of value" model "agreed to" across the chain. Therefore all updates or amendments are considered legitimate links when qualified and validated by the mutually agreed schema that the revised block and its data generates in line with the criteria for continued chain integrity. Nothing can be removed from the blockchain all records are permanently locked into it. Every action and participant compounds the amount of overhead needed to manage the chain. To add an additional node or transaction to the expanding chain it requires an ever expanding "proof of work" to be added also!. This is a powerful technically immutable method of identically and dynamically sharing data across a network of computers while consequently adding more overhead and increasing its overall size. By building, confirming and sharing the chain, every link adds value and significance. A simplified way of explaining the inner workings of blockchain is to describe it as a technology in which the larger it grows, the more maintenance it requires, the more accurate it gets, and the more incorruptible it becomes. The current system of exchange we practice is linear and exploitative. "Blockchain technologies" give value to every aspect of labor and effort connected within the chain. There is always some "fair" value that can be taken advantage of for every asset brought to a blockchained system. Both companies and individuals who adopt "blockchain technologies" early will set the tone on how we apply these technologies. The current atmosphere of change and the present conditions are ripe for it. Bitcoins and all other digital currencies simply allow us to give value to assets for commerce and exchange. "Cryptocurrency exchanges" are to blockchain what "hyperlinks" are to the internet. Hyperlinks connect the internet in the same way that "shared ledgers" connect blockchains. The best method for investing in "blockchain technologies" is through following and evaluating metrics. Metrics are measurable qualities or quantities of information/data used to make decisions. If the power of a large block of assembled investors can reverse the direction of failing companies like Game Stop, Blockbuster and AMC think of what a previously assembled blockchain alliance can do. There are formulas and metrics that we can use to measure, evaluate and validate the infallible logic behind blockchains. Metrics, also known as key performance indicators, allow blockchain technologies to diagnose and predict quite accurately using their interconnected data chains. We can use blockchain metrics and apply them to already known outcomes, adjust their parameters and improve them to predict future eventual outcomes. Blockchain's contain "crystal balls" of incorruptible information that is predictive, instructive, and adaptive. This is why data breeches can have a greater impact upon society then natural disasters. When we apply "logic" to "data" properly the accuracy of "engineered predictions" can be mind boggling. The ground up design of blockchain technologies make them almost impervious to theft because they are already transparent, distributed and shared. Yes, they are maintained as private individual blocks, but the privacy is enforced through a shared trusted ledger of links. There is so much untapped potential in blockchained, stored data that has both qualitative and quantitative information entangled in it. Blockchain offers a new way to decipher data. We must always remember to apply Moore's law qualitatively and Metcalf's law quantitatively. News and numbers are the metrics of investing. Smart investors buy the rumors and sell the news but ultimately realize it's a numbers game. Every authentic blockchain grows through the power of its connections quadratically. Most organizational growth charts reflect patterns that fall under linear, logarithmic patterns or measures. The key to quadratic growth is in the number of its connections. The more connections shared in a quadratic relationship the stronger it becomes. This quadratic equation has two variables, N & C. where "N" is the number of users and "C" is the number of Connections. The formula is simply "C" equals N times (N-1) over two. Blockchain technologies both threaten and promise to affect most of our existing ways of transacting business in the "now" future. Understanding blockchain is beneficial because as we apply it to ourselves and others; we will be able to immediately spot any counterfeits, imitations or abuses within its fully transparent systems. Blockchain removes human error and digitizes trust. Blockchain will allow many people to create their own careers and will usher in an updated model of modern business practices.

ATTENTION: THE MAJORITY OF THIS POST IS ESOTERIC AND SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE ERUDITE IN SPIRITUAL MATTERS. THE AVERAGE READER IS ENCOURAGED TO LISTEN TO THE AUDIO SUMMARY AND/OR JUST READ THROUGH THE LAST FOUR SECTIONS BEGINNING WITH "*THE BOTTOM LINE NO RHETORIC*"
WARNING: MOST OF OUR POSTS ARE CONVOLUTED AND WORDY. HENCE OUR AUDIO SUMMARY ABOVE AND THE ORANGE SUBTITLES. THIS POST IS VERY ANALYTICAL AND SAGACIOUS. tHE ABILITY TO EDUCATE, ENLIGHTEN AND SIMULTANEOUSLY BE CONCISE, IS AN ART AND SKILL WE STRIVE TO PERFECT. PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT JUST ABOUT EVERY ONE OF OUR TOPICS ARE PRESENTED PRIMARILY FROM A SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE. We don't believe in spirituality because it'S A FORCE OR PRESENCE visibly seen. We look at things spiritually because through it EVERYTHING else is seen more clearly. WE envision ourselves NOT as givers of truth. we prefer to be seen as FELLOW SEEKERS OF, AND pointers towards, truth. We ENCOURAGE CRITICAL THINKING! WE ADVOCATE LEARNING & PRACTICING HOW TO THINK RATHER THEN HAVING OTHERS THINK FOR US. Our goal is to GUIDE others towards their very own epiphany! Nothing here is written in stone. We take no credit for the source, only the synthesis. Our perspectives ARE PURPOSELY PROVOCATIVE BUT ARE INTENDED TO be applicable TO PRESENT EVERYDAY LIFE. our conclusions SHOULD not BE considered AS all encompassing or complete. AS WE OURSELVES LEARN AND GROW, WE WOULD LIKE TO SHARE OUR EXPERIENCES AND INSIGHTS IN HOPE OF INSPIRING ALL OF OUR READERS TO BE MOTIVATED UNTO ACTION.*CLICK THE > ARROWS TO PLAY MEDIA AND THE DARK GREEN LETTERING FOR LINKS*This post is about words, lies and rhetoric. Rhetoric is an art of persuasion utilizing grammar and logic. It is an ancient art of discourse. Rhetoric works through informing, persuading, or motivating specific groups or audiences by appealing to their thought process in an influential way. Now that we've heard all of the rhetoric and voted, it's time to start monitoring those in office. Our job does not end after election day it just begins. Our vote represents our voice and that's why understanding the power of words, lies and rhetoric is so important. Politicians tend to speak through an enigma wrapped in a conundrum. Why do we have to try to read between the (lies) lines? The reason is because the majority of us generally engage in rhetoric every day without being aware of it. Study the lies and they will tell us more of them. Study the truth and we'll recognize the lies when they appear. STOP LYING! We continually practice lying by commission (what we say) or by omission (what we don't say) habitually. We have unwittingly accepted this practice as a routine way of communication every day! It's time to say what we mean and mean what we say. Our tongue is the instrument our voice uses to express what the mind wants to communicate. The tongue has no bones but it is strong enough to break a heart or heal a wound. Although the spoken word is powerful, the written word can sometimes eclipse it. The spoken word unless recorded exists only on two planes. The first plane is in the now "present" conversation. The second plane is in the always comparing and considering but weaker "memory" of the brain. The written word however can operate on three planes; the present, the past and in the future. This is why "words" properly preserved, presented and promoted are immortal and have a life of their own. Lies, even when believed have limited longevity. Rhetoric is generally spoken. It's harder to write rhetoric because the "words of rhetoric's" double meanings cannot hold their own on paper. The scrutiny of examining written words always exposes them for what they are if we want to see it. Words are the substance of truth, lies and rhetoric. STICKS & STONES WILL BREAK our BONES WHEN we fAll for RHETORIC againMost of us understand the concept of wasting time, but when it come to wasting words and speaking we don't apply that principle the same way. Unfortunately many of us fail to realize that words ultimately span time and when we waste our precious words we always waste our precious time. Words can be used and operated under one of two premises. They are either used to tell the truth or communicate a lie. Rhetoric is simply the artistic and colorful coding of conversation that tickles our ears through appealing to our intellect. Rhetoric is by its very nature biased. Whether we agree with it or not it is NEVER the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Many times we think its our job to convince others, but that's not our personal responsibility. It is the mission and purpose of the words we choose and use to penetrate the consciousness of the hearers. Our job is providing the energy, spirit and synthesis of delivery; the words jobs is conviction and enlightenment. Sometimes words don't stick because they simply were not the right words, rightly targeted or rightly applied. When we use them properly words always do the work for us. Abusing words or omitting some of them is manipulative and can impact us in multiple ways. In politics, politicians pollute words, phrases and meanings, that's rhetoric. Expressions like "people of color" makes no sense. We are all people of color unless we are transparent. It would appear that this racist expression (rhetoric) is simply used to separate "WHITE PEOPLE" from every other hue of race. What does the statement, "we condemn these actions in the strongest possible terms" really mean? This is another example of rhetoric. What words or terms of condemnation actually express this indignation? All words are mission oriented and can be weaponized as such. Words should always express our EXACT intentions, message and meaning. That's our job to make them do that. These types of " plays on words," rhetoric, distorts their message and exploits the hearers. So many people hold the President "solely" responsible for contributing to the chaos incited by his words. The truth is that the electorate, that's us, failed to say or set a standard for acceptable speech. We watched and allowed name calling and bullying to pervade and poison our perception of one another. WE'RE ALL GUILTY! The words from the Statue of Liberty that encapsulate The American Dream is now excluding certain classes of people from achieving it. When disenfranchised people are not given access or allowed to compete they cannot even become underdogs. Whenever a person, party or team is "expected" to lose we call them "the underdog." Minorities are underdogs. Women are underdogs. The environment is an underdog. We cannot root for an underdog that's not allowed to play. These "losers" have a diminishing chance of success. When we call them "losers" we see them as such and subconsciously expect them to lose. Words can be weaponized as labels that make even previously neutral titles derogatory descriptions. *the TOXINS of OUR LIES POISONS THE POWER OF OUR WORDS*The "entity" we form through the creative power of our WORD(S) takes on a life of its own. Understanding that whatever we say immediately becomes a force with a distinct and interdependent existence is a critical nugget of knowledge. When we twist words they can become a noose around our own necks. What we actually most want to bring to light, unequivocally, is that the power of any spoken WORD(S), PHRASE(S) and UTTERANCE(S) enhances or diminishes the combined power of their effect upon both those who hear us and our own being. These expressions are a living essence and extension of our impact on life. Words are spirit and can interact with the vibrations and harmony of the universe. Rhetoric is exploitative. Our actions are a manifestation of P-O-W-E-R, that is the Practiced and Orderly Words we Encapsulate Reality in. The spoken word potentially has the p-o-w-e-r to order occurrences especially if spoken in harmony with what has already been ordained. When we accept this fact we will refuse to allow any exceptions that would cause us to compromise any portion of our word. God's word is absolute; this is the caliber of excellence we are striving for. Just as rain and snow falls from the sky to the earth and goes into or sticks to the ground it can't be sent back. The effects are inevitable. Whether we drink it, swim in it or slide on it; whatever purpose that is fulfilled by the precipitation is final. As Isaiah 55:11 states, "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." This is the standard that defines the significance of our original "WORD OF INTENTION" or VOW. Any Failure to execute what we say will gradually diminish the power and authority given to the words we speak. Words live and deliberately aspire to fulfill their utterance not just complete sentences. The power of words work at an intangible universal level and most certainly defies basic rational or logic. The strength of our WORD is a reflection of our integrity in two places, private and public. Our public words and private thoughts are expressions of spirit. The spirit in which we perform intentional actions makes the promises of the past, effectively powerful in the present and remarkably prevalent in the future. When a thought forms a desire, which becomes an intention it carries a certain amount of energy with it. The more encompassing the word of promise, the higher the level of commitment needed to fulfill it. Follow the evolution of our words. The statement is a declaration, the statements potential fulfillment becomes a pledge and the actual fulfillment is a voucher. The impact of words on humanity depicts its power. This may explain why our country is so divided over the simple exercise of wearing a mask at social gathering or in public. This is not a political issue it's a communication issue. Words were the weapons used to divide our beliefs and behaviors. Conceptually, nothing can take away our "freedom of speech." In reality there is no such thing as a "free" anything. Everything requires some level of effort and energy, there will always be a price to pay for it. The "freely received" and subsequently "freely given" words of Jesus cost him his life while it liberated ours. Whenever words are unfulfilled or not actualized they fade and weaken the strength of their source. Many promises are not kept and many vows are broken simply because "something comes up." Whatever gets prioritized above our word is a compromise. Any action or response considered to be more important then a "word of promise" indicates a misappropriation of values. Our prior "word of commitment" must always trump any present crisis. *REALIZATION OR REVELATION*Anyone surprised by today's current events and our present status have not been reading our posts. As journalists we have covered multiple topics from environmental abuse to "qualified immunity" from a spiritual rather then a political perspective. We have consistently addressed divisive behavior, policies and speech along with the "power of words" whether said or not. How could the Capitol Building be taken over by demonstrators who were incited to do something they felt was a noble cause? This is a rhetorical question. A rhetorical question is a question that is asked merely for effect with no answer expected. The answer is obvious and already known by the questioner. It is important not to get side-tracked or be distracted by all of the events simultaneously occurring. The two biggest long term issues we face today are the data breech and the corona virus. Are our political problems as important? Of course they are but it appears that our system of government is functioning as it should; as long as we continue to participate in and monitor it. What we need to do is put greater emphasis on the things that are going to last rather then thing things that are going to pass. The exercise of the power of the "spoken word" opens up a higher level of speech authority. An enlarged jurisdiction of influence goes along with that power. This is where the conciseness of our words expressions ranks higher then the actual words themselves. "Freedom of speech" is a principle. Unless we are physically disabled or mentally incapable of speaking, it is an individual volitional choice. The prerogative of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of retaliation, censorship, or legal sanction is what we call "free speech." We are obligated to protect the rights of EVERYONE to speak freely as well as being responsible to challenge erroneous utterance, in every venue of presentation. Whether it's on line, on television, in our newspapers, in our textbooks or on our jobs it must be questioned as it's quoted. Silence signals agreement, but allowing expression enables us to be aware of detestable thinking or behaviors and engage it. Suppressing any dissension may prove to be counter productive as it tends to encourage "festering secrecy." There will always be some form or level of dissent, even if only for the revelation and exposure of truth. "For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you." The key is to always say what we mean and mean what we say. "Let your communication be yea, yea; and nay, nay;" The mental effort to revise what we say and how we say it requires extra energy. All lies require additional maintenance, the truth can stand for itself if we stand behind it. When we implement a new policy of exact utterances, the old habits of communication must be killed, burned and buried. This keeps us from giving an opportunity for others to echo our mistaken or false claims. Although we may feel as if we've completely eradicated all of our evil communications, unfortunately they usually are not totally eliminated. Evil works like a "Whack-A-Mole." The old patterns and ways of conveyance will attempt to resurrect themselves and revive somewhere else within us. These "Habits of thought" will not go down without a fight. The former conversation, which had a life of its own, can return with a vengeance. The "spirit of pride" is determined to justify its presence and reinforce its message to our ego. Whenever we adjust our thinking and messaging, the effects of that practice begins immediately. Concise intentional language can revise the very essence of how our words are spoken and interpreted. These "re-visions" may create awkward pregnant pauses that feel strange and unfamiliar to us because they are. By refusing to give expression to thoughts and words known to be contrary, they cannot reside in our consciousness and are limited in the ways they can influence our thinking or behavior. Perhaps that's why the scripture says, "He that hath an ear, let him hear." Whether we like them or not, we should respect ALL leaders and hold them to higher standards no matter who they are. Unity calls for reconciliation and reconciliation calls for forgiveness not "tit for tat" attacks. The greatest among us must be the SERVANTS of all. We do not expect the parody's, spoofs and satire to cease. All politicians are targets and fair game. "The shoe is on the other foot" now and it's "quid pro quo" time again. We should not take any rhetoric that seriously like this video clip by Randy Rainbow. *THE BOTTOM LINE no rhetoric*The following sections should be considered as the compendium or conclusions found in the audio summary at the beginning of this post. Applying these principles to our everyday situations is what our posts are all about. To begin exercising control over our thoughts and words we must become aware of them. What we think is greatly influenced by what we see and hear. "Evil communications corrupt good manners." How, what and who we interact with influences the mind. The mind responds to nourishment in the same way as the body does based on what we feed it. Digesting rhetoric is quick and easy. Garbage in will produce garbage out. Fast foods may taste good, offer instant gratification, are convenient and cheap, but generally do not provide a full range of nutrition. Let's not be deceived by "the leaven of today's Pharisees," it is filled with rhetoric. Our media moguls and politicians have their own agendas and feed us the "broth of bias." It's far easier to process illusion rather than accept reality. We mentally look away when our minds are unable to process what our sensory faculties and intuition actually reveal to us. No matter how we look at it, life schools us and school teaches us. Remember in school we are taught a lesson and then take the test. In life we first get tested and hopefully learn the lesson. Calamities and adversities are the universal method of chastisement. These thing are not meant to destroy us, but rather instruct us. Our response to them should be one of reflection and repentance. Now is when we amend our thinking and our ways, rather then being defiant and resistant. "Know ye not that the goodness of the Lord leadeth thee to repentance?" God knows our hearts and we know our behaviors. Being in the Ark with Noah during the great flood or obedient to the Passover blood sacrifice commanded by Moses during the plague of death upon the firstborn in Egypt, were the only places of safety at those times. Likewise there is a place of safety during these tumultuous times. We should listen to the logic of our own intuition over the rhetoric of what we are being told. Diseases are impartial, our behaviors are not. Businesses, governments, politicians and scientist are all influenced by greater principalities and powers invisible to our physical senses. It's much easier to make predictions based on facts rather than rhetoric. Here is what we expect! OUR STATISTICAL PREDICTIVE INDICATORSThrough utilizing the latest "optimistic" statistical data from the C.D.C alone things look grim. Statistics is a form of mathematical analysis. It uses quantified models (logical equations) that represent given sets of experimental data or real-life studies. Statistics employs various methodologies to gather, review, analyze and draw conclusions from factual data. SIMPLIFIED: THIS MEANS THAT "THEY" CAN EXTRACT REALLY CLOSE MODELS TO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN FROM APPLYING MATH TO DATA. If anyone hasn't figured it out by now we are scrambling to create effective logistics to disseminate our vaccines. Logistics can be defined as a detailed coordinated strategy for executing a complex task. Everyone should be aware that the these vaccines require two doses for their greatest efficacy. This tells us that EVERY 10 doses will accommodate ONLY five people. The current vaccine shortage along with a weak deployment plan has initiated the new strategy to vaccinate as many people as possible with only one dose and afterwards the second, as it becomes available. This is a good alternative in that 1 in 5 Americans have already been infected. The proposal by the new federal leadership to deliver 100 million vaccinations in 100 days will require executing a near perfect strategy flawlessly. The ability to inject a million shots a day requires careful diligent planning and unparalleled military precision. This is the type of robust response required to attempt to get ahead of this virus and get to a position where we can begin to be proactive. The next 3 months are critical! If the supply chain can facilitate it and the majority of citizens submit to the federal mask mandate, there is a fair chance that this viruses grip will be loosened by the spring and some real relief comes by the end of this calendar year. Lets not fool ourselves. The success of this effort is critical. Although we hope to see a historical accomplishment, we must remain vigilant. This should not be classified as a great scientific and sociological victory, though we hope it to be; or a tribute and testimony of our great American resolve and ingenuity; though we hope that it is. Much of that sounds like the triumphant banner of rhetoric. This is a must need to succeed moment that may be seized upon and used for the vain purpose of fame, but it is more important that success comes regardless of who or where it comes from. The poison of partisanship has perpetuated this calamity to a place where our sowing to the wind has resulted in us reaping to the whirlwind. This is the time that our enemies enemy is our enemy (covid); making our original enemies (one another) at least temporarily our friends. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." This is it, "root hog or die." Should this effort fail rest assured "our goose is cooked." "Failure is not an option." Listen to that rhetoric! The Bible teaches us explicitly how to deal with the "spirits of error and enmity" especially among the fellow members of our church communities. In the final analysis someone will be found in error. How we deal with them and their errors must be in done through the "spirit of reconciliation" with both severity and love. "And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will." OUR MEDICAL AND SCIENTIFIC LIMITATIONSHere are some hard and cold SCIENTIFIC FACTS! Some people with COVID-19 do just fine. Others die. And then there is everyone in between. So what determines disease severity? Everyone should know the risk factors by now. It’s mostly vitamin D deficient, older age, males, minorities, obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and like comorbidities. Not everyone with severe COVID-19 fits that mold. The number of viral particles we get exposure to before the immune system can react matters. The number of viral particles that land on your mucus membranes is the viral dose. An infection can start with a few viral particles. However, the higher the initial dose, the more likely the immune system will not clear all of the viral particles. The viral dose required to make us sick seems to be very low for the early strains of COVID-19 and has decreased in the newer variants. Now its even easier to get infected. The CDC added cumulative exposure of 15 minutes or more into the definition or formula of infection. It's evident that even a series of small exposures may cause infection. We may not know the minimum infectious dose needed to result in illness or whether multiple small doses or a single large dose is more likely to lead to getting this disease. The amount of virus someone gets into their system depends not only the duration of exposure but also the viral concentration's proximity. Viral load is the level of replicating virus in the body and is measured by copies per ml. We can determine whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus is present in the human body by collecting samples from the nose, respiratory tract, blood, or urine. In the midst of all of the rhetoric, one thing that's not being said is that this virus is UNDETECTABLE by any test during its incubation period. This virus is unique and counter-intuitive in the way it operates. Unlike most colds and viruses the SARS-CoV-2 virus is more infectious in its non-symptomatic stage and less infectious (ability to spread) when the person infected is most affected (sickest) or hospitalized. Community spread occurs mostly among those that have no symptoms at all. As we've reported in previous posts the profit incentives must be taken into account. Medicines make millions and vaccines make billions for drug companies. This may be why ivermectin, monoclonal antibodies and other remedies are being down played. Such rhetoric is occurring at the expense of millions of lives world wide. Covid sniffing dogs and the like can be used to mitigate the spread of this disease if added to the repertoire of detection and treatment strategies. WATCH TV - THAT IS TESTING AND VACINATIONThere are two basic kinds of tests that utilize three different methods of testing in current widespread use. Once we have a basic understanding of the two types and the three methodologies we can better develop the best overall testing strategies. We will try to simplify the differences between them although the FDA has to date authorized over 300 COVID-19 tests and collection kits. All of these tests are either diagnostic or serologic. A diagnostic test needs to have contact with a specimen of the virus collected usually by some oral means. Serological testing involves studying the serum and other bodily fluid generally through drawing blood. The most common, reliable and sensitive diagnostic test if performed correctly is called a nasal/oral PCR (nose throat) test. This is where a genetic sample is obtained by swabbing way up in the nasal or way down in the throat. It is highly accurate if done correctly in a manner as to cause the nose to run or the throat to gag. The sample collected is then lab tested but the results require time, usually days. The best test is to get a direct sample from the NASOPHARYNX located in the upper part of the throat (pharynx) that lies behind the nose. It's a box-like chamber about 1½ inches on each edge. It lies just above the soft part of the roof of the mouth (soft palate) and just in back of the nasal passages. The nasopharynx functions as an airway in the respiratory system, also contained within the nasopharynx are the adenoids, or pharyngeal tonsils. The quickest method, serology testing of the blood is used to determine if a person has been infected in the past! It looks for antibodies which our bodies form against an antigen (virus). Antigens are any foreign substance that induces the immune system to produce antibodies against it. Even these tests are not fool-proof and can yield information that may be interpreted differently over a period of time. These simplified explanations are not comprehensive but should give our readers some understanding of a complex phenomenon. Vaccinations and vaccines are one of the major success stories of modern medicine. Although the development of vaccines may be considered as one of our greatest scientific achievements, it is the deployment of vaccinations that makes the real difference. The downside of vaccinations is that they give us a false sense of security. It can take up to three (3) weeks for a vaccine to properly teach and integrate with our immune system for its full effect. In the interim we are still able to transmit the virus as well as still vulnerable to be infected. Vaccines don't stop viruses vaccinations do. By greatly reducing the incidence of infectious diseases such as measles have been stopped dead in their tracks. Vaccines have eradicated others such as smallpox and controlled the spread of other viruses. The "administering of vaccines" have saved millions. Conventional vaccine approaches have not been as effective against rapidly evolving pathogens like influenza or emerging disease threats such as the Ebola or Zika viruses. This is why the recommendation to our readers is to accept, respect and embrace this paradigm shift. By not understanding the spiritual forces and energies behind occurrences we're forced to come up with our own deceptive logic that actually makes no practical sense. We generally think it does because our egos trick us into believing that what actually is illusory is real. We deceive ourselves by following feelings that are filled with psychic and emotional energy indicators. Rather than accepting logical natural and spiritual laws and principles, we follow feelings. This inversion of application causes us to engage in self destructive behaviors. This is the thinking that causes many of us to become our own worse enemy. Maybe we can see the light at the end of the tunnel now, but the length of that tunnel is unknown. Although we are on the right track the train is no where near the station. The race is on its infections versus injections and at this time the infections are ahead in the race. When the weather gets milder again it may be possible to include more safe social ventures such as shopping and outdoor sports like baseball. But be prepared for a bigger "tsunami like" devastating wave to follow. For now our advise is to get the vaccine if available, minimize ALL contact with people, surfaces and places and more importantly adopt the practice of wearing a mask as much as possible. Remember we all see the same things differently. Everyone is not able to follow our exact example but we are staying inside our home for the next three months and beyond if necessary.
THIS IS A SERIOUS BLOG, BUT TIMES HAVE BECOME SO PERILOUS THAT IN ORDER TO RELIEVE SOME OF THE STRESS, WE THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE APPROPRIATE TO POKE A BIT OF HUMOR AT OUR PREDICAMENT. IN THE UNITED STATES IT TOOK 284 DAYS FOR THE FIRST 9 MILLION PEOPLE TO GET INFECTED BUT ONLY 52 DAYS TO REACH THE SECOND 9 MILLION PEOPLE. AT THIS RATE IT SHOULD TAKE APPROXIMATELY TWO MORE WEEKS TO SPREAD THIS GERM TO THE NEXT 9 MILLION PEOPLE. WHEN IT COMES TO BEING FIRST OUR COUNTRY HAS TRIUMPHED AGAIN. WE ARE NUMBER ONE WORLDWIDE IN INFECTIONS. ALTHOUGH WE ARE ONLY 4% OF THE WORLD POPULATION WE HAVE 25% OF THE WORLD INFECTIONS. WE ARE NUMBER ONE. WE HAVE MADE AMERICA THE GREATEST IN SOMETHING AGAIN! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ARMED PROTEST! WE CARRY ARMS FOR ENFORCEMENT AND PROTEST SEEKING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. MAYBE IT'S TIME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE THREAT TO DEMOCRACY, THE ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH CARE, LAW AND ORDER, MINORITIES AND MORE. IS THERE REALLY THAT MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MARCHING ON WASHINGTON AND STORMING THE CAPITOL? WAS THIS A TRIUMPH OR AN ATTEMPT TO REINSTALL TRUMP. WE WILL BE MAKING LIGHT OF THESE GRAVE SITUATIONS BY EXAMINING FACTS, POEMS, ARTICLES AND MUSIC; SIT BACK ABSORB, ENJOY BUT TAKE HEED. *CLICK THE > ARROWS TO PLAY MEDIA AND THE DARK GREEN LETTERING FOR LINKS* There once was a volitile nation in search of eternal salvation but one party lost, & they got a new boss there were riots expressing frustration There once was a family event a tradition that's never been bent no one felt sicker, as germs passed quicker so the faster and faster they went. There once was a young man named Cyrus who somehow contracted a virus he felt fine & emphatic, tested a-symptomatic As he spread it, he gradually retired us. "WE HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR EXCEPT FEAR ITSELF"There will be an increasing amount of "FEAR" permeating society throughout this year. Fear is a spirit and in or of itself is neither good nor bad. The true character of fear is respect. Fearing God doesn't imply being afraid of God, it means reverencing and respecting God. We can Face Everything And Rise or Flee Each Adversity and Run. What we do with fear or allow fear to do with us will determine how we weather our specific storms. Having leadership willing to incite followers to rioting is really scary. Having the privilege of a fairer complexion pays even when it comes to crimes. What we should really be afraid of is one another, not a virus. This virus has been consistently straight forward and honest with us. Viruses do not lie, cheat or steal. They can kill us but that's not their true mission. Their goal is to s-p-r-e-a-d their love, but they have to get us to do it. Isn't that the same thing God wants us to do? Why are we so successful at spreading "the bug of a virus" but so inhibited from spreading "the love of God?" Let's deal with this pandemic realistically and respectfully but not too seriously. We would love to tell jokes about germs but this is not a good time to spread them around. If this pandemic was viewed as a television series the audience would have lost interest by now. The first season is over and we're still dealing with the same drama. Although the pilot was exciting and many of the first season's episodes were action packed; as with many horror movies, we are bored with the same ole repetitive plot. How can so many hapless victims continue falling prey to the same well known established monster. Even if we can't kill it shouldn't we be able to avoid or hide from it. Isn't that how cave men survived? Maybe we can just ignore things and pretend that they don't exist. Although denying the truth doesn't change the facts, sometimes it feels like it does. We were once told that "it will go away, but it hasn't yet." Whether that's a true statement or not, one things for sure, it won't go away on its own! There's nothing wrong with wishful thinking as long as there is progressive action. Everybody knows that even "trouble don't last always." Maybe that's why we fail to show the proper respect or fear, both towards this virus and to God. Even if we do not believe in God maybe now is the time to act as if we do. The world is a complicated, conjoined and collaborative composition of interactive species. The delicate balance only appears to shift when mankind abuses or interferes with it. Whether or not this virus originated in bats and was then transferred to humans is not that important. "BATMAN" emerged from such an incident and should always be remembered as a superhero not a super spreader. Both bats and viruses are an vital part of our ecosystem and cave roosting bats are a keystone species. Our sociology suggests that if there's anything we need to be afraid of, it is of our own kind. Germs and viruses are impartial and have no agenda but they do have a purpose. Our job is simply not to put ourselves in the path of that pernicious purpose. "Covid" spelled backwards is "divoc." Does anyone know what Di-Voc is going on? Even the mosquitoes are wondering where we've gotten to. We're all inside now! Our work, home and recreation have all moved to one location. Therefore workplace relationships have become a common but new normal. Most corporations frown upon workplace romances but while working from a home office, relationships are sure to blossom. Coffee breaks may last longer and hot coffee tastes better when its really strong with extra sugar. Many kitchen are multitasking as lounges and many bedrooms are becoming boardrooms. Even Starbucks cannot compete with most of these home brewed varieties. Although we've developed a vaccine to combat the coronavirus, there is another virus contaminating our consciousness. The "funny thing" is that our capitol was hit by a storm, but it wasn't weather related. To add insult to injury, our "Law and Order" president commended those who broke the law. This is more than "sour grapes." There's a "sour puss" working behind the scenes. The same selfishness exhibited towards our environment is now being shown towards our government. When we accept and embrace our own skillfully engineered lies it indicates that we are willing to follow clever talented liars. Have we had enough of real life "reality television" or is the Biden presidency going to give us more of the same? They say we get what we pay for but in reality we get what we accept. We should never complain about what we allow. Home invasions are back in style now. Criminals are contemplating home invasions, the police can storm our homes with a no knock warrant and we were allowed to storm the capitol over a disagreement with government. Surely we can break into our neighbors house if we "BELIEVE" they stole something from us. LIFE SCHOOLS US, TEACHING US THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REALITY & ILLUSIONSchool is still in session but somehow we're not learning the lessons. Remember, in school we are taught lessons and then tested; but in life we are first tested and hopefully then learn the lesson. Today's teacher is "life." But as students we are not earning a passing grade. Having or developing a spiritual perspective relative to the climate, consciousness & zeitgeist of the day, will provide us with a new level of understanding and clarity. We always recommend examining things primarily from a spiritual perspective, not because they can be visibly seen, but because through spirituality we can see everything more clearly. There is a spirit of arrogance and entitlement within this country that has permeated our attitude towards life. How dare any germ attack us? Don't they know who we are? When we confronted this contagion with that attitude those ignorant germs did not take notice, they spread as if they didn't care. The nerve of this virus! Doesn't this virus know who we are? Although our darkest days are still ahead of us there is yet hope. We were told by our parents that we would never amount to anything if we stayed inside, just hung around all day being lazy and doing nothing; but now we can save the world. The universal principle of reaping and sowing is at work here. Some call it cause and effect, others simply know that whatever we send out eventually comes back to us. Regardless of what we call it, this immutable principle is at work among us. Real life seems to be resembling a sporting event or a reality television show and It's getting hard to make the distinction. Our sporting and entertainment industries are pressing forward in spite of this pandemic, but this is in defiance of reality. Measuring the severity of this predicament through our entertainment media does not give us an accurate picture of this crisis. "We're all in this together, we're turning the corner and the end is in sight," paints a rosy but unrealistic picture. We all wanted to believe it as we celebrated sporting events or protested against current events, but it has not yet come to pass. While celebrating or protesting it may appear that people are impervious, but it is not so. We are actively participating in brainwashing ourselves by substituting illusion for reality. We all know that when we run out of toilet paper that we're all wiped out! The illusion allows us to "think" that if we put on a cape we can soar like Superman, but the reality is that we can't fly. We have thought our way into this position and we must "un-think" our way out of it. Our greatest obstacle is not adding or implementing something new. Our main task is in "un-learning" much of what we already think we know. When we sow seeds of fantasies and vanity we will reap a harvest of deceit and illusion. There was early concern that the virus could be spread by pets particularly our dogs, but research by the World Health Organization has concluded that dogs previously held in quarantine can be released. Now we know "WHO" LET THE DOGS OUT! The "spirit of this day" is all about profit! IS THAT why inexpensive PRODUCTS like vitamin D and Zinc are not getting clinical trials or recommendations? Because these supplement are so cheap and easy to maNUFACTURE there is very little profit in promoting them. Why have we overlookED well known existing drug therapies like ivermectin in favor of new (novel) remedies? we'VE KNOWN THIS SINCE MAY. Is it because new medications make millions and vaccines make billions? It seems that the incentive to make money may be the hindrance. Remember, the love of money is the root of all evil and if such is the case it 's just UNBELevilABLE. AND THAT'S NOT FUNNY!
In twenty twenty we discovered so many things that were kept covered. Reality cut us like a knife While so much drama came to life. Although it started out the same bad news became our claim to fame. A year in which we did discover we lacked respect for one another. In twenty twenty "one disease" brought all the planet to its knees. Despite of all both said and done we still could not respond as one. Why did it take a year to learn respect of science & fear of germs. Was it so great a thing to ask for everyone to wear a mask. The face of i-n-e-q-u-a-l-i-t-y revealed its head for all to see. As civil rights began to cease and protesters opposed police. We loss our jobs and means to earn & through it all somehow we learned. To keep the faith and hold the hope and speak our truth but cast our vote. And now alas a new years come we'll call it twenty twenty-one. Whatever comes, we'll have to take it this year will be, all that we make it. Although few changes may appear we'll label it another year. no matter how we see it honey our hindsight will be twenty twenty.
