President Trump Did What Ross Perot Could Not
Let me make it clear that at this time, I see Donald Trump as the only viable candidate to rescue our republic from destruction by said syndicate and its supporters, lackeys, foot soldiers, and opportunistic predators and parasites; but, I recognize the possibility that I may be wrong, and am willing to consider better alternatives (if there are any).Yet I also believe that if we wait for the “perfect” committed leader who will make the best decisions and win the battles ahead of him without stirring up what may look like unnecessary controversies, then we will never be able to liberate ourselves from the regime that has been foisted upon us.

Brief Reflections On Abraham Hicks
I sometimes put off writing about a topic because I feel the need to preface my observation and the preface would take longer than the observation.
For instance, I hesitated to discuss Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., without first stating that anyone who views the Kennedys as a collective does not know the Kennedys. That would include both the fans and the Howie Carrs as well.
Cutting this preface to the bone, let’s segue to Abraham Hicks and specifically, her stated reason for Earthly incarnation.
There are those people who believe Earth is a prison planet. Through deception, disembodied souls are persuaded to be born once more into this brire and bramble, mud and mire.
Earth as purgatory is a recurring theme. And there is that Karmic Shylock who has us under his thumb, and does not care to forgive our debt, no matter how many times we are reborn.
And there is the idea that we are here to willfully transcend this material existence. Self denial and all that stuff. Get cosmic and forsake the chocolate.
And there is that Life Lesson school marm who gently reminds us that we are to learn and we’re really stupid so we have to keep coming back to the globe for yet another root canal existence.
And there is that ever-stern no pain/no gain reincarnation coordinator.
And we have Christians and Buddhists and latter day Cathars and…
A radical departure from these viewpoints is the philosophy of Abraham Hicks. There is much of Hicks’ teachings that I do not know but she explicitly states our reason for Earth birth.
According to Hicks, we are not here to learn a lesson. We did not come here for spiritual development. We did not arrive here to work off karma and we are not here to serve others or make upgrades to the human condition. We are here by choice to enjoy an exhilarating Earthly experience. In other words, this is heaven.
I have to admit, I found this novel perspective surprising, confusing and briefly intriguing. I listened for a while before ultimately rejecting this viewpoint. Yes, it might be fun to be incarnated as Michael Jordan or Kim Kardashian, but more souls are born into a Charlie Brown existence. And Charlie Brown is one of the lucky ones. He does not live in a war torn country, nor does he suffer the ravages of famine. His sister, Sally, does not contract childhood cancer and he does not have to render a Solomonic decision about keeping his eccentric dog in a compromised life or putting him down for his own good.
I stopped asking the big questions a long time ago. I don’t go out of my way to seek enlightenment, and enlightenment does the same for me. I am not a font of wisdom, but this I can tell you:
Earth is not heaven and vice versa.

EDITOR’S NOTES
1. We do not link To Fox News or Fox Business News.
2. We sometimes link to Fox affiliates.
3. We sometimes link to sites that contain a video that might have a snippet from Fox News (usually Tucker Carlson).
4. We try to avoid second hand news stories that are sourced from Fox News or Fox Business News.
5. We try to not link to sites with pay walls. This eliminates NYT and WaPo (who cares?) but also eliminates WSJ and Epoch Times. We hope that Epoch Times changes their business model because they are one of the best news outlets in the English language.
6. We believe it is more important than ever for Americans to monitor world affairs. The most influential man in America is probably George Soros and he is not in America–nor is he an American. Other understated influences on America include World Economic Forum, BBC, and CBC, to name but a few.
7. Most English language newspapers in non-English speaking countries are paid subscription sites. This presents an ongoing challenge to report on world affairs.
8. We try to avoid linking to mainstream media when possible We are not hesitant to link to mainstream sources if the news story involves raw data, such as the daily stock market or weather statistics or sports scores. Even then, we usually provide a “Mainstream” disclaimer.
