Light Listening

You see what's happening all around you. You can feel that something just isn't right. When you raise your hand to ask a question you are shamed and ostracized. You're being told to trust others more than you can trust your own mind. In the face of all of this I'm encouraging you to keep that hand up. You ask questions and keep asking questions until you are satisfied with the explanation. And any...

I've been trying to figure out why, in the face of corruption, unaccountability, and lies, why people would still choose to support their abusers. I've come to the conclusion that it is because they want to believe the lies. They are so afraid of the uncertainties of life and the inevitable suffering that comes with it that they are willing to trade in their power for the illusion of safety. They...

We are faced with a time when our fellow brothers and sisters fundamentally believe that this country is inherently evil and it would seem that neither truth nor reality can dissuade them. Furthermore, they choose to adopt a stance of zero tolerance to anyone who is skeptical and/or disagreeable to their world view. They have drawn a line in the sand and proclaimed that any person or institution t...

In all of these declining decades I've yet to see leadership address the roots of the problem effectively.

Decades upon decades of playing the long game yielded fruit every step of the way. All those tiny victories adding up through the ages. And now, five yards from the goal line you fumble the ball. You had all those frogs in a pot with the heat set to low thinking they were at a day spa and then, inexplicably you crank the heat up to high. Now frogs are jumping out left and right and the look of con...

I have been witnessing an irrational response to disagreement lately. 

Here we have two options: 1) SOCIALISM  and 2) THE CONSTITUTION These are two sides of the same coin. Socialism operates under the assertion that people are not moral enough, compassionate enough, smart enough or good enough to do the right thing. While The Constitution was created under the belief that the power rests with the people and if given the opportunity to do so people will show tha...

In this segment I review the two warnings I received from UTUBE in a two day period. This system does not appear to be about having a conversation about what is and what isn't a violation, but seems to be more about suppressing the views, facts and opinions that contradict who they've chosen to follow. 

I do not want government telling any free citizen what they can or cannot do with their personal property or their bodies, period. In this segment I offer a different perspective on this hot topic centered around our diseased culture and value structures that contribute to insecurity, confusion, lack of accountability, and apathy. Liberty has no constraints save for the conscience of the liberated...

After all that has happened through out history and all that has happened in our recent history, why on earth are you still so adamant about believing what you are being told. How many discrepancies, lies and censorship will it take before you start asking all the right questions instead of the spoon fed solutions supplied by the very institutions that manufactured the problems in the first place....

When you pick up an onion, whether white, red or yellow, it is understood that the anatomy of that onion is one made up of multiple layers surrounding an inner core. Now picture the scientific method as a means of pulling each and every layer black slowly and carefully with the main goal being exposing what's underneath. This process is meant to happen over and over until the core is reached. Whet...

Seriously I just want to know what’s going on. If, like me, you remember everything that was asked of us from the beginning of last year, the inconsistencies with the science we were asked to follow, the lack of accountability placed on our government’s chosen experts, the strategic suppression and/or defamation of experts accused of spreading misinformation that turned out to be correct, the rush...

When the priority is saving lives you pull out all the stops and explore every avenue because every possibility stands as another ray of hope to those not yet ready to give up their gift of life.

Lately I’ve witnessed an effort to discourage individuals from doing their own research by condescendingly insinuating that they are not qualified to research, they are not thoroughly researching, they are not smart enough to properly evaluate what they are researching, they don’t have first hand knowledge so they shouldn’t speak on it, and a slew of other prejudged conclusions that when applied m...

Our words can connect us to reality or pull us into delusion, that's how powerful language is. That level of influence demands that we take the necessary precautions not to lose sight of what is, what was, and what can be. We must hold steadfast to the process used to discover what is true and then protect it with pragmatic diligence. If an objective circle is forcibly modified to fit into a subje...

Since the scientific method has been thrown out the window I cannot rely on a government that chooses to only listen to the voices that support their conclusions. That’s not how this is supposed to work. If your search for knowledge leads you away from where you wanted to go, you can’t manipulate the information to remain on the path that you desire and still call it “following the science”. You a...

In this segment I discuss the ability to disagree respectfully becoming a lost art. 

This term has been thrown out a lot in the last 18 months so I wanted to dive into it and see where it took me. 

I don't believe it to be any great mystery or profound revelation to declare the control of information crucial to mankind. In this segment I touch on it a bit, but there are so many layers that I'd be fooling myself to think I could adequately cover it all in one go. 

In this segment I discuss a growing movement away from conversation. 

In this segment I discuss the inherent nature of the human being's desire to get another human being to do what they want. This endeavor can be accomplished two ways....

In this segment I dive into the concepts of emotion and rational thought.

This has never been about sides, it's about information and how it is disseminated. If the game isn't called fairly then everybody loses.

In this segment I dive into the world of GENDER IDENTITY DISORDER and how it is being used to reshape language to add credibility to an argument that refuses to acknowledge reality while at the same time, hurts those who are suffering from this very real mental disorder.
