It is easy to HATE, hard to AWAKE
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, when I became an adult. In time, I grew. At nearly 84 years old, I am slowly beginning to understand.
Have you ever wondered, "What the FUCK is going on"?
Who Killed John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medger Edwards, Robert F. Kennedy, Malcom X, and all the others?
Was it the CIA, Chicago Mafia, Racists, Lone Killers, Divine Intervention, Demonic Intent, or Stupidity?
It hasn't STOPPED!
Will the WORLD end with a bang, or a giggle?
Red Box Rules
What is the CURE?

I gumble, criticize, and vilify. Point fingers, sweat, lie, and die. Is there an answer? Are we alone? What is the answer?
Only The Shadow knows!
(And he ain't tellin'!)
I know, Krishna!
Do you know how much MONEY I sent to that do-wat-a-doodle-de, nearly my whole fortune?
If the TOOTH is known, I am a RETIRED BANK ROBBER. People think that is a luxurious racket, but it ain't.
You know, when I do my taxes, I can't write off my expenses, like gas for a stolen car, those paper notes that I give to the teller, you know, the one that says, "This is a stick up! By the way, you have nice tits".
That is a technique me Pappy Snappy taught me, afore he was hung for similar crimes.
He always said, "Be courteous and flattering to the female tellers".
The SHADOW spoke to me last night about midnight in my dream. He's got it right, Brothers & Sistas, listen up! Or, down, depending on your position when listening.
I'm hoping it will be a giggle. Everybody needs more giggles in their lives
I'm hoping it will be a giggle.
Definitely!
(Needs more Cow Bell!)
Yes, we do, Trougle Giggles!
Today, I had my most recent thought on this topic. . . it was because of a news story about Russia bombing western Ukraine. And I asked myself: Why does 'anybody' (God) permit Russia, which should know better, to just arbitrarily 'loft' murderous missiles and bombs into the air to land on innocent people fighting hard to simply live, love, exist, and return to 'normal' order?
I know the answer won't come, but sometimes the question itself haunts me.
permit Russia, which should know better
What makes you think they should know better?
Putin "Don't Know Better". He doesn't even know butter.
Putin is all about KILLING innocent children, mothers, and fathers, to feed his EGO. That is what the Dump Truck, Trump have in common.
We can not wait for another shoe to fall. Now is the time to KICK SOME ARSE!
Now solo, but in mass. NATO & the USA need to take PUTIN and his band of Thugs Out of Commission.
Force them to work in fields for the rest of their rotting lives. Or, not, SNOT. We got to do what we got to do.
Any nation capable of building, warehousing, and not ineptly exploding or accidentally launching its nuclear arsenal has the 'know how' to conserve life. . . so I ask (again) why arbitrarily start and persist in "arbitrarily 'lofting' murderous missiles and bombs into the air to land on innocent people fighting hard to simply live, love, exist, and return to 'normal' order?
Cruelty is inherent in our DNA. We need to evolve or risk destroying ourselves and the entire world as we know it.
We must choose a side: Humanity or Constant War.
PS:
CB: It is a joy to hear from you. You are uplifting, informative, and compassionate. You seek a better way, which we must all do.
Russia, from experience, should definitely know the vargeries of dictators.
Whether or not the actual people in Russia get a say.... that is a totally different matter. Which is why we are struggling to not become like Russia.
The question is this: How long will the GOP sit on its collective butt and allow Trump to run the house and senate for them? After all, we, people, often talk about how they wish they could 'know' the future, but then they refuse to accept that history, and in real-time we can those international types and personalities which Trump is patterning his administration after and mix in with his state Company visitations.
Thus, it is highly probable that the GOP knows exactly what Trump's plans are for this country—nearly to a 'T'. . . and they agree with him to want that too!
A democratic republic is often true to itself when it is 'messy.' It is not one-man's vision—absolutely. As is the case in varying parts of the international 'community.'
We must IMPEACH TRUMP!
Tell your Senator & Representative to IMPEACH Trump to save our country, and perhaps the world.
Trump sycophant appointees will be removed, also.
That is our BEST SHOT!
NATO, all 36 members, should simultaneously bomb the HELL out of PUTIN'S RUSSIA.
putin is being protected by his boyfriend and top US agent, trumpski ...
Amen, Brother devangelical!
It's time to hit the NAIL on the Head!
Agreed. We should bomb Russia's military installations back to the stone age. Just wipe them off the fucking map.
maga can't get rid of commies as a wedge issue until all the immigrants are getting shipped off, black people have been completely removed from our history, and the only women that are allowed to seek legal abortions are the mistresses, younger female family members, and those random underage girls that maga males have impregnated in a fit of unbridled fundamental xtianity.
So who do you think is responsible for these horrors?
God-- or man?
Let me redirect the question: Why would you think God would be responsible for these horrors? Is it the nature of God to give humanity horror?
In Christianity we are directed not to kill (murder), and yet somehow war is justified: So did God 'order' the wars of humanity? Whose bloodlust is this: God's or Man's?
Perhaps now you can see why these questions are hard and no answer is forthcoming.
Does not stop us from pondering them, nevertheless!
Amen, Brother Ben!
GOD spoke to me in 1971, while I chewed a PEYPTE BUTTON, and fell through the Center of the Universe.
He said, "I can ONLY do G O O D"!
I swear to GOD that that is true.
Unfortunately, I inexplicably misinterpreted it. I raced into the other room and shouted: "GOD CAN ONLY DO GOOD!"
It's a long story, took me three years plus, before I had another encounter with GOD.
I spoke to him, told him how screwed up I had become, and that I was going to throw myself out of a stained glass window.
He did not, on this occasion, speak to me; I spoke to HIM! I spoke out loud, told him what I thought I needed.
45 minutes later, a calmness descended over me, and I realized that I was still a Licensed Substitute Teacher, and shot out of my apartment, headed downtown to the Dayton School Board to see if they had any openings.
For three years, I slid deeper and deeper into CHASO, failure after failure, drugs, destitution, without friends or family. I was even on welfare, hiding my shame and hating myself.
Who the heck is "Brother Ben?!" Yes, I would like a pint or a handful of whatever it is you've gotten into!
"Brother Ben" is a childish synonym that I use to describe everyone who sees the light and gets wrapped up, willing to do what is right!
It is a bad habit, but I like it. "Brother Ben" is a silly tag that I picked up in college, and to this day, I have absolutely no idea what it means.
I like the aliteration, "Brother Ben", short for BB, as in Bee Bee Gun! Childish nonsense that clings to me for some odd, incoherent reason.
Please, do not be offended. I find the sound hilarious.
Okay, my friend. It's cool!
Man, without a fucking doubt.
weed kept me from becoming famous, as a serial killer ...
I understand that urge, Muther Fucard.
I went through a bitter period for a long, long time, but I am sailing fine without any stress. At my age, 83 years and 10 months, I am getting my bojo back, gooven with the vibes.
Oddly, it is relaxing and enjoyable to communicate with people I have never met, and, more likely, will never meet.
The News Talkers.com is, for me, a lifesaver. And, I ain't talkin' about the "Life Savers' suckers". I have friends, a place to express myself.
It is wonderful. Thank you!
We are thankful to 'help' in any way we can, ETP'! And, you bring 83 years of experiences to our humble assembly as well. Oh and now bring us one or two friends to help improve the ebbing and flowing around here.
But, do not stress yourself out of that last sentence, nevertheless!
Gobble, gobble.
CB:
I shall always do as you forbade.
Well, not always, but most of the time, my friend. I respect your astuteness, compassion, wit, and well-crafted posts. You have deep
concerns for others, and a wisdom worthy of listening to.
I commend you for being a friend!
Putin, like all ruthless DICTATORS, slaughters their alleged enemies indiscriminately, men, women, and children. These MONSTERS want complete C O N T R O L! They will do anything to destroy any opposition to their LUST FOR POWER!
Will the WORLD end with a bang, or a giggle?
Or worse yet, maybe it won't end, Rather it will just keep goin' on the way its always been going on...????
Unfortunately, that is TRUE.
I have tried so many times to blow things up, but it never happens. So, I cry and cry until I get dry eyes, and I have to go to the eye doctor.
Now that ain't right!
I like that. A+ (You've got jokes!)
Thanks, CB!
Jokes? My dear CB, it is intuition dipped in Trump malaria.
It is a wonderful trip. I am beginning to like it, lick it, dig it!
When I was a child, I spoke as a child, when I became an adult. In time, I grew. At nearly 84 years old, I am slowly beginning to understand.
1 Corinthians 13:11
Just curious--why the picture of Casey?
P.S: I am somewhat familiar with his work . . .
Me, too. He awakens me, and I speak up, or it's "hipcups"!
Like Casey, I, too, have had several paranormal experiences, which I have hidden for decades.
"Now, as the time is near", I embrace them and tell my friends, who, then, NEVER talk to me again, slam the phone down, and act as if they "Don't Know Me"!
Hell, I don't know me!
I became curious about Casey, so I read the book about him:
The "book river" refers to the biography There Is a River: The Story of Edgar Cayce by Thomas Sugrue . This book, written by a journalist who sought Cayce's help, provides a detailed account of Edgar Cayce's life and psychic abilities as a medical clairvoyant and mystic. The title refers to Cayce's ability to tap into a "river" of universal knowledge
Not bad but I wouldn't necessarily recommend the book. (There are better ways where you can actually learn how to do it yourself! Casey was naturally gifted, but anyone can learn it).
Further research on my part revealed that there is much to learn about "paranormal experiences"! And interestingly, while a few people are born having them...anyone can learn how to do it ("psychic experiences" AKA "ESP". "extra sensory perception").
So-- I checked out the A.R.E. sites, discovered a course in how to do it-- and took the course!
Reading some of the things you written here-- and especially how people you know reject you when you share you're sharing your experiences . . . I had a thought: maybe you're hangin' out with the wrong crowd?
Most of the people on social media sites are not interested in these things-- but some are.
Its taken a while, but I've finaally met a lot of people who have had similar experience-- and understand it.
For example, Some even have a thorough working knowledge of Astrology,,, I have several like that offline. And some even read the Tarot. (Yes-- at least two people on this site read Tarot).
As you might've guessed. I one. I've been reading the cards off and on for over 40 years....
Yes, and we all have that ability to some extent.
Please, Bro, "Ed-U-Ma-Kate Me", I want to learn.
I, too, have had some paranormal experiences that slowly, but consistently, opened my rusty mind to other possibilities, stunning me, alarming me, opening me up to another dimension that I cannot always find, but know that it exists.
At 83 years and 10 months, I frequently share my experience with total strangers, who share their experiences with me.
Gradually, I have adjusted to the concept that there is more to reality than our SIX SENSES.
I am not trying to convert anyone or disagree with others who have different views, life experiences. I am just reaching out, exploring possibilities, before my time is up.
Yes, you are 100% correct. Most of my personal friends have evaporated due to old age, fear, and are reluctant to engage.
I am not selling anything, trying to convert anyone, nor attempting to encourage anyone. Now, I accidentally stumble upon total strangers in malls, shopping centers, etc., and stumble upon folks with like experience, then never see or hear from them again.
But it is uplifting, warm, and fascinating to hear their stories and tell mine.
I am finally becoming comfortable with who I am and seeking those who have had similar experiences.
They scare the "B-Jesus" out of me. I would rather chew on a Peyote Button, but I haven't had one since 1971, when I fell through the Universe, and heard GOD speak to me.
Since then, I have had a few more paranormal experiences and have been delighted, "ed-u-ma-kate-ed" (my favorite word, next to "Mu-ther Fugar", a time-tested companion).
PS:
I'll tell you I like and need GRAMMARLY!
I will look that up!
1 Corinthians 13:11. I am not a practicing Christian; however, I have read some of the bible, and gone through a Bible/Christian belief when my college friend and I decided to leave college after two years and head for FRANCE.
Things didn't quite go that way, but we had a variety of experiences in NYC, in Grenich Village, in 1966, Montreal, and returned to NYC, ended up in Harlan, where we headed in different directions, never to see or talk to each other again.
My journeys have been bizarre, costly, and exciting at times, dark at other times.
It all changed when I met my wife, in 1974, at Stiver High School, in Dayton, in after-school classes, where we both got jobs teaching students from 5 to 9 pm, got extra cash.
Two years later, we married after a whirlwind love affair on June 12th, 1976.
We have been married for 49 years, together for 51 years, one son, now 44, two grandkids, a girl aged 17 and a boy aged 16, the joy of our life.
It too was a journey, and still is. She is 75, and I am 83.11 years old, hoping that we have a decade ahead of us.
How sweet it is! Best wishes! What a beautiful tell/share of the story of your life.
Gracias, mi amigo. We have a link, and I am glad that I have someone to occasionally correspond with.
For some odd reason, more and more, I want to tell my stories, and do so constantly, in tidbits with total strangers. It is almost a compulsion.
Krishna:
I haven't read the BIBLE in ages.
Your post referred to 1 Corinthians 13: 11 intrigued me. It took me a while
to get interested enough to look it up.
It is powerful, wise, poetic, uplifting, and comprehensible. I smiled when I read it, and agreed with its content. Thanks!
11. "Finally, brethren, farewell.
Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you."
That, Sir, is a gift.
Thank you, Krishna.
I had long since given up on the Bible. I found it difficult to read, archaic, unfounded, questionable, totally unbelievable, vile, and cruel.
That snippet, Corinthians 11, is pure poetry.
The rest, 12, 13, and 14, seem to me to be wrapped in control.
here's the readers digest version -
it starts off with a week long galactic premiere by some absent deity and then digresses to many thousands of years of his alleged creations committing incest, child molestation, inbreeding, treachery, murder, theft, genocide, slavery, warfare and centuries of revenge and retribution. then a teenager allegedly magically becomes impregnated by the absent deity and bears him a son that will eventually try to start a movement to improve on the disastrous legacy left by his alleged father. supposedly omnipotent father allows his kid to be turned into yard art for being a socialist that spoke out against the gov't and it's policies. kid gets his corpse tossed into a cave and 3 days later they go back and he's disappeared. 2000+ years later, those being eaten alive by guilt for the type of humans they have become still seek him for absolution from individuals and organizations that have calculated all the prices and payment plans available for those too busy to live a noble life.
That is one of the finest analyses I have ever read, and brilliantly, creatively, and courageously posted!
Thank you!
You have got a talent, my man. Really, good, poetic, mindbending, meaningful stuff.
thanks, I owe it all to cannabis ...
Well, Cannabis fucked me up. I had to give it up.
I don't burn it anymore, but I've been doing vape pens for almost 6 years ...
When you overdo it - it will futch you up. Moderation and restraint are the keys.
¡García Amigo!
I, at 83.11 months, am learning how to do that, and it is wonderful. Thanks for the reminder!
The biggest mystery of all is how the fuck the greatest country in the world put a piece of shit like Donald Trump in power.
And no, its not the liberals fault.
It's the liberals fault in the same way that building a playground is at fault for an appearance of pedophiles. There's nothing wrong with pursuing equality, but it sure inspires the bigots in the community to expose themselves.
Amen, Brother "Displaced Patriot"!
Of course there are some folks who are against people exposing themselves . . .
But they'll always make exceptions for those who vote for their dear Leader. Anything for the man they worship, even sweeping sexual assault and rape under the carpet, all so they can keep on believing they're right, their God is real and will come and murder everyone they hate that embarrasses them and makes them look stupid if they just pray hard enough.
We need to make these Christian nationalist realize that Jesus is NOT 'down' with this bull--it they have and are encouraging themselves to tell and act on daily. Our country is NOT a Christian nation and I can tell them why it is not such a country. Because, according to our constitution religious liberty means all religions are equal under the law—EQUAL. No one religion in our country is subordinate to another!
Let's tell it over and over again until they 'get' it!
As for God being real. . . well, let's just keep reminding so-called, evangelicals, that they have a belief system—not a 'proof of god' (system).
Different strokes for different folks . . If you want to do that, I say "Good for you".
Enjoy!
I personally am of a different philosophy. It is more like this:
If you're gonna push on a rock, push on one that moves!
Well to that I will suggest this: The funny thing about rocks is they usually don't control or care if you move them are not. So just dig under one and watch what happens.
When we push back against delusion and lies, truth wins because it can't lose 'forever.' But, truth that is hampered or never shared can not heal.
There is a saying: "Prayer changes things." Many do not believe that—many do believe it. I, for my part, have see "strange things" change in people who did not even know I was focused on praying for them. Heavens, I have likewise seen changes in people who were stubborn and KNEW I was directing prayers at them—some of those prayers aloud.
What can I say, but what I 'find'? Something "in" or "about" praying and prayers affects people in positive ways. Call it 'encouragement' that leads to corrective action if you wish. . . but, it does tend to work.
So how do you like Trump's second term in office..so far?
You first.
I'd really like to tell you . . . but my superiors at Langley would not be amused!
Well, sorry for your 'dis-ability.'
As for me, my position on a second Trump term can be summed up: I do not like or set down with any pathological liar. Why? Because I can not tell when s/he is telling the truth! It's too much work to separate verbal truth from verbal 'errors'! Better to let 'sick' liars lie somewhere I don't have to be.
So there you have it: How I feel about a second Trump term in office.
(May) I suggest you work on getting your free speech rights back (from Langley). We require them to properly 'operate' on NT.
Yep, there are some real FUCKED UP, TWISTED PEOPLE OUT THERE "WHACK WHACK LAND"!
Congress needs to pull the hammer down on "Dirty Diaper Donnie" with the Second Amendment.
His entire administration must leave with him! Then, and only then, will we be able to breathe again!
Amen, Brother CB!
Knock the dirt off the exploding MONSTERS, and shred their desire to conquer the world.
It is a Battle that we must win!
Trump is a cheating, lying POS! An adjudicated
RAPIST, a Convicted Felon, a spoiled rich brat, who only thinks about himself, and despises those who do not adore him.
He is in the class with Adolf Hitler, Stalin, and every damn RUTHLESS KILLER, who rules by FORCE.
F U G A Z I Trump!
I truly have no intention of pushing on a rock, nor do I desire to convert folks. I am me, finding out new things, occasionally accidentally meeting people I do not know, and enjoying our conversations, which liberate me.
I rarely, almost never, discuss these concepts with my spouse, son, relatives, or friends, unless they bring it up.
Thanks for the exchange.
I pray for my son, mentally, but rarely, if ever, for others. You have opened a forgotten path for me, and I will endeavor to do more.
Amen, Brother CB! You tell it like it is! And, you are always on it.
Miss reading your posts.
It's corruption, payoffs, and contagious stupidity!
Amen, Brother John Russel, the News Talkers FIST!
By the way, John Russel, that is a compliment. You carry weight and common sense. Your posts are brilliant, true, real well well-thought-out, meaningful discussions.
When I first started posting, you helped me get adjusted. I truly appreciate that, John!
Actually this has happened before in various places . . . and at several different times in world history . . .
Indeed, in time immemorial. Humans have a screw loose.
It seems DEMONIC!
By the way, I had an encounter with that Muther Fucardo! Perhaps, when you are bored, I will tell you that tale. Remind me. It was a stunning, unexpected moment that I did not conjure up.
So whose "fault" do you think it is?
Humans who are fearful of reality, lost in lockstep with the past, are unable to embrace a Universal shift that is constantly evolving.
We all have paths we follow that lead to somewhere, or nowhere. The KEY is to allow the good vibes in, and such down the bad.
Got to go, the daughter-in-law called. Squak at you later.
Amen, Brother Ben!
At the time, I had an uneasy premonition that Trump could beat Hillary. I hoped to HELL, not!
Hillary to me seemed cold, ambitious, bright, accomplished, but the one who covered up Bill Clinton's lust for pussy, baby, any kind of pussy, even Epstein's pussy.
I like Bill Clinton; I met him once in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, when he was on the stump for Hillary's campaign for the office of President. I was Director of the Main Street Association. I found, as many do, that Clinton was charming, bright, and easy to listen. He is a warm, charismatic, jovial person that one would like to be around.
And yet, he is a Hound Dog nearly as bad as Donald J. Trump, but forgivable. I envied him, voted for him, admired him, and wished that I had some of those qualities.
Hillary, not so much.
She is highly competent, an attorney, Senator, and Secretary of State. I wanted her to win the election, but I thought she was the last person in the world to run for president because she covered up all of her husband's compulsive bull shit.
Trump, the CRAZED RICH BILLIONAIRE CAREER CRIMINAL, blew the election with Putin's help.
That was one of the worst things that could have happened. It, in many ways, was, and still is, one of the greatest threats to our country.
TRUMP must be IMPEACHED!
You dont mention the guy who actually did it.
Oswald is the one and only person who shot JFK, there was no second shooter. It was a crime of opportunity, he learned in the newspaper that the motorcade was going to pass the building where he was working. He decided the world would not ignore him any longer.
Sounds like Trump, who has had a lot of people KILLED, to cover up his crimes, and one, THAT he personally KILLED, allegedly, choking to death, his beautiful Hispanic housemaid, who refused to get an abortion, after he impregnated her, due to her Catholic religious beliefs.
The rumor states that the "Orange, Selfish, POS", erupted in a violent, psychotic rage and strangled her to death in his Trump Tower luxurious apartment.
Alegedly, the Swirling Piece of Shat, Donald J. Trump, panicked, cried, came to his senses, and called the "Third-Highest-Ranking" individual in the NYC Police Department, a swindler who had extensive involvement with the New York Mafia.
How do we know this?
Because that corrupt bastard wrote a fictional novel, outlining what actually happened, and published it!
The character in the novel was a wealthy New York developer who, in a rage, exploded when she refused to get an abortion, strangled his beautiful Hispanic maid, hat he had impregnated.
The so-called novel was designed to prevent the THIRD HIGHEST RANKING officer from TRUMP turning on him, as he has done so many times with other friends/associates throughout his SICK, WORTHLESS LIFE.
Trump is "allegedly" a serial MURDERER.
His NY CITY POLICE SOURCE was the cleanup buddy, who eventually went to prison for a variety of crimes, holding for a Presidential PARDON, by blackmailing "The Donald" with his fictional book, it was the shield designed to prevent his and Trump's exposure.
IMPEACH THIS BASTARDO!
I think that the CIA, elements of the Chicago Mob, and Nixon had a hand in it.
This is our WORLD WAR III.
We must find the courage to stand up for justice, our country, and our children's future.
The NIGHTMARE is real!
It is such a pleasure to talk with total strangers from various parts of our country, sharing our inner feelings, aspirations, and hopes for the future of mankind and ourselves.
We are the healing ones.
I write "Political Humor", or, as some declare, "Political Pornography"! I don't find that offensive, tantalizing, yes, but not derogatory.
I can be derogatory, and sort of like it!
I am, as they say in Mildew, Oh-High-Ho, a "WISTED SISTER"!
I'm looking forward to blaming the OG republicans for barbecued maga morons found in their burned out vehicles.
What does that mean?
Please elaborate!
I am missing out on something significant! Something I want to know about!
Ouch, ouch, ouch! I want to hear more. I heard tidbits, but ignored them or didn't understand what some folks were saying.
Enlighten me, for now it intrigues me.
Finally, I received some responses. How delightful!
