Here comes reactivity and the victimization identity to replace the devil's advocate. -

Trump isn’t a conservative. He never was. Before he ran for president, he was a hero of the liberals. He is an opportunist who knew that exploiting the reptilian fears of migration was a viable path to power. The purpose of the new wave of censorship is to assure zero criticism of Israel. There are some on the right who aren’t going to like that. -

I grew up in a rural community. Boys were taught how to properly shoot a gun when they reached 13. It was done on school time. That's the culture in rural areas. -

Another way to view politics is traumatized vs. non traumatized. Both the progressives on the left and the reactionaries on the right are traumatized groups. That’s why their politics tend towards extremism, operate from an attack mode, and create such negative disturbance and conflicts in society. Centrism focuses on balance and harmony – something naturally sought out by a non traumatized individual. That’s another reason I think Governor Newsom would be a good president at this moment in history because he appears to be an untraumatized person. He seeks reconciliation and bringing people together. Here is a video from someone who was a progressive activist, but moved to the center after he healed his trauma. -
Sanskrit is a language designed for speaking and transmitting language orally. It has rules called Sandhi which modify the end of a word depending on the next syllable, which allows for fluent speaking. The Vedas were transmitted orally for centuries by scribes memorizing the entire text. This would be impossible in English. In Sanskrit the text is arranged in versus like poetry and with a rhythm which aids memorization. Here is an excellent source for beginning Sanskrit. https://learnsanskrit.org/guide/ How to use a Sanskrit dictionary https://www.yogicstudies.com/blog/how-to-use-online-sanskrit-dictionaries-tutorial?utm_source=chatgpt.com Devanangari Tutor which includes the pronunciation. https://enjoylearningsanskrit.com/devanagari-tutor/ Devanagari Phonology Chart (click on symbols to get pronounciation) https://ubcsanskrit.ca/lesson1/devanāgarī.html

Trauma explains much of the right. If you have seen videos of Alex Jones blowing up, it is obvious that he is demon possessed. The rage inside of him is incredible. The only difference between Jones and the Kirk sniper is that Jones has learned to channel the dark energy and use it to gain power. The sniper was too young and couldn't control the rage and went off in one pop. -

This is a shocking video on the right-wing cancel culture. These are the hypocrites who complained about cancel culture, and now they have power they are going way beyond to fire people or have them arrested for their free speech. -

MAGA releases new video on assassination. https://packaged-media.redd.it/fribnwwun4pf1/pb/m2-res_640p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&v=1&e=1757970000&s=18a3166a03a8146a84d5b1e2404f0994b6ee5cb5 -

he's a snake trying to play both sides of the fence. He is clever. Very clever. But he is not good. -

Ok. Let’s get real. Charlie Kirk’s net work at the time of death is estimated at $12 million. He had $4 million dollar estate in Scottsdale, Arizona. He charged up to $100,000 for live speaking events. Spreading hate and appealing to the reptilian mind is a highly profitable business. It all boils down to money. That is why grifters like Joe Rogan and Bill Maher turn to the right. The Internet is an entertainment industry. -

I took psychedelics intensely for five years including 5-meo. It gives a temporary state which wears off and then you just have a memory, but no long-term change. But then you desire to have the same mystical experience again, so now you are chasing experience. This is just more attachment, the opposite of liberation. You can’t get liberation from drugs. It requires a sober mind which can investigate the nature of self and an ongoing surrender and letting go moment to moment 24/7. Drugs sabotage the spiritual path with self deception.

It sounds like he is reading directly from Jules Evola, who was an Italian philosopher and friend of Mussolini. Evola praised Buddhism as aristocratic and wrote the book “The Doctrine of Awakening”. -

Trying to attach him to a political philosophy is silly. He was incoherent. He was anger looking for a target. -

I don’t understand the logic that typically follows these events. The conclusion is always that large groups of people who had nothing to do with what happened are the problem. So, in this case the immediate conclusion is that the left wanted to shut down Charlie Kirk’s right to free speech. I wonder at the very moment he was shot, how many leftists were on the toilet enjoying themselves. When they get off the toilet they discovered they had just shot Charlie Kirk. What actually happened is that a single individual with serious anger issues got access to a high powered rifle made legally available to him by a gun culture. The rest of it is made up fantasy generated by a toxic social media. -

Something still isn’t right. Not everyone can carry out an assassination with professional level competence and manage to escape. The victim was even wearing a bullet proof vest and the bullet goes right for the neck. And how convenient that all the competent people have been fired from the FBI. -

It’s interesting to study the dynamics of how an event like this reverberates through the social media producing an unbounded avalanche of noise feeding into unproven assumptions of a toxic narrative. The evidence so far suggests a lone gunman, but it is automatically assumed that this is an action taken by one side of the culture wars. The morons who are producing media content celebrating the killing are useful idiots who are providing content to support the right-wing narrative and are helping create a martyr who will be used against them. I use to be a free speech absolutist, but I have changed my mind. The rules of free speech were written in the 18th century when there was no Internet or social media. -

The shooter made a perfect kill with one shot at a long distance and still managed to get away. It makes me wonder whether he was a professional sniper with military training. Trump blamed this on the left. But it’s time to start asking if it wasn’t Trump himself who ordered the assassination. Adolf Hitler used Horst Wessel in his propaganda. Wessel, who was killed in a street fight with communists, was a central figure in the Nazi cult of martyrs. Trump now has Charlie Kirk. Trump is the one person who clearly benefits from this assassination. This diverts attention from the Epstein files and gives him a pretext to take further consolidate power. -

Unfortunately, this event supports Trump’s narrative of his non-existent crime wave. In a crisis, it’s the coolest heads that prevail. That’s why I support Governor Newsom. -

We all have pain because we are biological organisms. Suffering doesn't depend on having pain or not having pain. Suffering is a mental resistance. The Three Noble Truths say that suffering can be 100% eliminated. But it requires true liberation. I find it useful as a reality check. -

To cut through all the nonsense, a better inquiry is: Do you still suffer? -

The new age is mostly an incoherent collection of nonsense. That's why people revert to a legitimate religion, that is, something that has been around for more than a thousand years.
