Esoteric Meandering Shouting Into the Void

Dwain Northey (Gen X)

I am not 100% sure when this Epoch started but it seems that we are going to be living through it for a while longer.
I am sure that many of those reading this have zero idea what I am talking about so let’s get into it.

First what is an Epoch…

1. a period of time in history or a person’s life, typically one marked by notable events or particular characteristics.
2. the beginning of a distinctive period in the history of someone or something.
3. a division of time that is a subdivision of a period and is itself subdivided into ages, corresponding to a series in chronostratigraphy.

We are going to refence mostly the 2^nd definition and possibly some of the 1^st, I am not talking about a geologic event in this particular rant.

What is Idiocracy? I know sounds like a made-up word.

1. a society or group that is controlled by or consists of people of low intelligence.

Now that I have Websters definition of what I am referring to now I will tell all of you that have struck around this long what I mean.

We are in a time where intelligent/educated people are being chastised for the very fact that they have an opinion that has a basis in fact. If some wants to have a battle of wits with someone that has zero information about a specific topic but has a very strong opinion about said topic, that opinion cannot be swayed by a person with actual information and evidence. Their opinion will not be influenced no matter the facts brought to bear conclusively disproving that belief.

This nation had the bad luck of electing a malignant narcissist to the Presidency that only intensified the idiocracy, giving his rabid minions the permission to act as their worst selves. His actions gave rise to closeted hatred and cancerous racism that we had hope was diminishing. I am well aware that this nation was founded in racism but no one what’s to admit the awful truth and the election of President Obama brought that malignancy to the surface even though those same people will proclaim that there is no more racism because we had a black President.

The man to attain the seat of power after President Obama spent the 8 years Obama was on office proclaiming the illegitimacy of our first black President. Claiming that he wasn’t born in the United States and that he had proof, but like many of his claims could never produce that evidence. Now they same clown and his minions are making the same claims of VP Kamal Harris and of course they no evidence of this because just like Obama was born in Hawaii VP Harris was born in California and there is actual documentation to back that up.

That is just one example of the idiocracy… no matter the evidence and documentation the members of the clan refuse the except the truth.

According to the moronic mass of red hats, COVID19 was fake, and the millions of deaths worldwide were all a hoax. They at the same time say the Dr Fauci was in league with China to create and disseminate the virus that they claim is a hoax. Don’t know how both those realities can co-exist. There is the belief the Donald was 100% responsible for the creation of the vaccine, (made it with is chemistry set in the basement of the White House) and should have received a Nobel Prize. While out of the other side of their mouths saying that they will never take the vaccine.

I could go on and on pointing out the ridiculous inconsistencies of the arguments I hear on a daily basis and could use logic and reason to overcome the lunacy in which these beliefs are founded. But the idiocracy is deep and pervasive and cancer has spread. We all need to understand that many of the diehard red hats no longer have opinions; they have beliefs, opinions can be overcome beliefs not so easily. It has become nearly a religion, and we know throughout history people die for their religion. This Epoch of Idiocracy is upon us I only hope that it doesn’t last much longer.

Thanks for suffering though my tirade…

   At least one state is going to take the fake electors to task. If these people get jail time for the attempted effort of keeping Trump in office then he should also be facing charges in this endeavor as the man behind the plan. His name is mile a way as always and you can not pin anything on me, they did this on their own. Some of the charges are worth 14 years in prison, I can not believe that these very influential people ever thought that they may face that kind of punishment for being involved in political activity. 

   It only proves that we have a class of citizens that is truly ignorant as to the law but oh so sure of their rightful place at the table making decisions for the little people that are all too stupid to think for themselves.

   He is on the campaign trail and talking shit about how he is winning, beating everyone, way ahead of Biden and all that. The truth is he couldn’t beat a horse turd on a good day so how is he going to beat all of the opposition? As per usual he does not ever lose so of course he has to win. Will he have another run at the capitol if not elected, probably. Will he be in jail by election time, hopefully and disqualified to run for any public office, such as dog catcher or whatever.

   Our system of government allows for people to have differences and to express those differences, it does not allow for the willful overthrowing of the seated government just to make the opposition happy. The charges that are being filed against the people involved and leading to the Jan 6 situation are pretty conclusive and encompass most of the possible defenses that might be dreamed up, so will we see prison time for a former President? The outcome is still in question but legal ramifications of such crimes should not be put aside for any of those involved.

So here we go again; Ron DeSantis is putting another nail in the coffin of real history of non-white people. His latest assault on the education system and his continued campaign against the ‘WOKE’ in his state is that in the fall curriculum it will be taught that slaves actually got an advantage by their enslavement because it provided them with a vocational skill.  Also, that in race mass killings in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries that the black communities were committing violent acts that were as bad if not worse than the acts that caused the historical acts.

This retelling of history neglects to mention the hundreds of thousand if not millions of abducted Africans died before ever reaching the shores of North America and that their bodies were summarily discarded overboard without a second thought. Of course, the mere that slaves were experimented on to try and prove the white theory that black people were inferior would never be mentioned in the supposed ‘color blind’ curriculum. We wouldn’t want white children to feel uncomfortable with a truth about the atrocities that the white settlers of this nation committed.

This sad excuse for a person, much less a government official and one that is running for President, has stated his own crusade to ‘whitewash’ history as well as force anyone different from himself and his narrow beliefs back into the closet. He has already banned Drag Queen story time and removed books from libraries that even mention LGBTQ topics, I am sure anything that examines the Black experience is next. During the 2021-2022 school year, 566 books were banned across 21 school districts in Florida, according to data tracked by PEN America.

The ‘Moms for Liberty’ group are fanning out across the country going to public libraries trying to have certain titles removed from the shelves because they disagree with the content. Sadly, many of these concerned activists don’t even have children that they are professing to protect.

These narrow views and banning books that are found to be offensive or espouse view contrary to a political view are a very slippery slope to Fascism. Hitler banned books and subjugated an entire portion of the populist based on lies… Ron DeSantis (Death Sentence) is walking the same path, thankfully he has the charisma of day-old cheese spread. Unfortunately, Florida’s Governor isn’t the only wannbe dictator we have to deal with, Texas Governor Abbot is also a piece of work not to mention the leader of the Orange Mafia and his desire to re-attain the Presidency so that he can change to entire complexion of our government.

All this is really scary and I recommend that everyone find a banned book list and then go out and read every one of those titles that you can and have your children read them as well.

This now a call to action… and I hope that anyone who reads this takes it seriously.

Note: this should have been posted a couple months back but got temporally overlooked.

   It is nearly the end of April and many people are probably digging into the records of the Ice Age to find the answer to how much did people pay in taxes back then to get the government to come and melt the ice. Straight from MTG, a stellar representative from the Georgia, was this the best you could find to put in office?

    The marvelous Mr. T. is back at his usual efforts to create problems with people and within factions of people. He has a new name for Joe Biden and I am sure that it is not complementary. You would think that if you are going to have to ask that person for a pardon so that you don’t spend the rest of your life in prison that you would at least keep a civil tongue in your head. A bit too much as he has continued with his usual line to try and disrupt law and order in his court cases. 

   It is time for the judge to put T in a cell and restrict his movements, his voice and make sure he can not see his image. A small cell without windows, make it sound proof so that voices make no exit, and no mirrors,

   Another mass shooting for no logical reason that anyone can think of, except maybe someone from Texas. The shooter entered his neighbors house and shot 4 adults and an 8 year old child because he was asked to stop firing his weapon in his back yard at 11:30 at night. This person deserves no trial, no hearing, no nothing just kill him the way he did the others. It is a shame that you can not hold the governor of the state as an accomplice to this crime as his ego and Texas frame of mind said he was going to defy the President because we do as we please and besides the President is a damned democrat. I am sure that prayers and condolences are on offer for these losses.

        The fractured society that we live in at present is a gift from the political aspirations of one person and we are all suffering the rewards of the endless hate messages. The attitude that we can do anything we wish to include kill someone and nothing will be said is another example of the mind of Trump and all that follow his lead.

    Trump is hoping that Biden will pardon him and that would be a big mistake for our democracy, not to mention our legal system. Every idiot that goes out and kills people or causes them to be killed will be asking to be pardoned on the grounds it worked for the top idiot why not them.

   Suppose the latest is true and Trump is broke, he has been claiming that all of his expenses have been his own and he has paid for them. This is hard to believe as he has been raking in donations for years and paying his legal fee with those funds. He has made millions selling hats and coins and whatever that is all about him. He is also making money off of selling secrets to foreign powers. This is the kind of person we want to be our representative to the world, the one that will steal a kiss from a nice looking woman, even though that woman may be a member of some other nations political leaderships house. 

   Our other cultural giant has to be the governor of Texas. He continues to send buses of people to other cities that have enter the state of Texas via the border. He has not done anything to create a safer place for his citizens to live in by not doing anything to make is harder to get guns. The result tis that individuals that are just not wrapped to tight are shooting up malls and chirches and schools. The laws that were enacted in Texas are in direct opposition to what the national government asked for. The idea is to defy the federal government and at this time and place I think it is time to bring that governor into the spotlight and try him as an accomplice in these shootings. 

   In an English program a former soldier was asked if he had killed anyone. His answer was that he had, and the person asking wanted to know if it bothered him and how did he justifying such actions. He said it did bother him but sense he was the Queens employee and it was her weapon and her bullets and a war she had sent him to that made it right. 

   Is this the defense of Jan 6? The weapons were privately owned or created, the actions were encouraged by others and he result was messy.

   We are now being fed a line about not recruiting white, christian, Patriot family members into the military. With recruiting being at a low point anyway the military does not have the latitude to be so picky. The problems with overweight and poor test scores is a bigger issue than all the racial and religious stuff that can be brought to the table. 

   As for Patriot family background, if these people coming into the service are of the mind set that they can swear allegiance to the Constitution of the United States and then participate in an insurrection at the behest of Donald J Trump, then they all need to either stay home or be ready to face a firing squad as traitors.

   The on going crap about WOKE is an excuse to make problems. The principal goes back a long ways in history. For the personal need to keep the faith people built Priest Holes to hide Priest so they could practice their faith. Later people modified their homes to help slaves escape to freedom, poor idea by republican standards, loss of money. The same practice took place in Europe during the war to hide Jews and downed fliers or escapees. Every act of kindness of this nature came with big risks attached.

   That history and those individuals that risked so much are a big part of what we as a nation are today. Take that attitude and turn it on it’s head and you have all the things that encouraged Henry VIII to destroy a religion, make people feel they had every right to hold others in bondage because their skin was dark, or herd people into gas chambers and murder them for being Jewish. 

   Take your MAGA and GAGA on it. Some people travel through life and leave a path of compassion and good, Danny Thomas. Others leave a scorched earth scene from a horror film. At this point in time the GOP seems bent on scorching as much of our world as possible.

    Collude with tyrants, sell pardons, steal and sell national secrets, and claim the right to do so because you are you and everybody’s picking on you. Another example of why certain people should not be allowed to have children.

   Now we have people that are oh so upset because their leader is being prosecuted for all kinds of crimes both against private parties and states and the nation. How do people get so easily sucked into nonsense.  As stated before if you go back and listen to what he has said about most of the topics he is being prosecuted for he is proud of what he has done, would do it again and believes that he can get away with it.
