"Keeping The Faith" with Bernie Sanders

So was this supposed to be Hillary's victory photo or something?

Faith as I see it is being true to yourself.  It’s being true to your Highest Self.  Some might call it God and that’s fine, if you believe all moral precepts come from the God who created the Universe.  I happen not to believe that for reasons I have gone into.  It’s being true to everything that’s just and true and right and good.  I would say the Bernie Sanders campaign was right and good and strived for what’s just and true.  I also believed Bernie when he said that his campaign was not about him personally but the beliefs, the cause, for which his campaign stands.  Therefore I believe that his supporters who refused to support Hillary were the ones “Keeping the Faith” and not the other way around.  I guess people see faith as an anchor or “center” in their lives.  It’s what keeps them moored to the Truth.  If they begin to veer off course their faith brings them back.  Of course in music faith is called fidelity so you have High Fidelity.  That is the music reproduction is true to itself.  You have all these categories of fidelity such as wide dynamic range and things called “presence” and “definition”.  Many will say that a “clean” sound has much more fidelity to what went down in the studio than a “muddy” sound.  So it is our lives should speak to others with a “clean sound” and we shouldn’t give off a murky or “muddy” impression where people aren’t clear on the issues that drive us.  I think as a Bernie supporter we all know what those issues are.  In addition to the ones listed in this morning’s letter to Judy there are the ones about corporate greed and inequitable distribution of wealth, which I believe personally to be an unchristian concept.  My notion of idealized Christianity is obviously a whole lot different from Judy’s.  I didn’t say it in this letter but she obviously believes in the Gordon Gecko doctrine of “Greed is good” when it comes to foreign powers stealing our trade secrets or manipulating their currencies to gain advantage or paying their workers two bucks an hour or less and then selling these products back to us where they compete with products made here where we pay fifteen bucks an hour for the same work.  Thom Hartman is right.  Traditionally we have used the economic terrif as a means of leveling the economic playing field.  We haven’t had this since the days of Ronald Reagan.  Blowing up the Shermon Anti Trust Act is something I mention frequently but something that sure got rid of competition particularly in the airlines and communications industries.   Most of this morning’s letter was about Trump’s economic policies and different ways it could shape up either for good or for bad.  Hopefully it will be for good.  Washington’s blog says Trump could still end up being a great president if he does what he needs to do.  All presidents start with a blank slate and can write what they will on it.   There is one area perhaps I didn’t make clear in the letter where Trump seems to have a good start but the dice may be loaded against him- - is on economics.  Just as President Obama had to clean up the mess left by George Bush- - President Trump was left a ticking time-bomb of the Federal Reserve that he will have to deal with one way or another.  I wouldn’t even want to make an economic bet with Judy how the economy will be in two years.  It would be too easy.  It would be like taking candy from a baby.  But the thing is – if Trump is true to his Highest Self then God will look down on him and say “You did all you could do, and you can’t expect any more than that”.    Short of being psychic- -doing the prudent thing at the time- - is the best you can do, and you just hope it’s enough.   And that’s my sermon for today.

One more issue that’s paramount to voters is that of Net Neutrality.  Indications are that Donald Trump will stock the FCC with people who want to blow up what we have had for nearly thirty years (since 1989) of Net Neutrality.    Do all carriers give equal treatment to all content providers or are some less desirable sites, perhaps for political reasons, get slowed down whereas if you are willing to pay enough money you get grade double A service.  There is yet another issue that is in the news according to Norman Goldman who just came on- - and that’s picking Jeff Sessions for Attorney General.  I”d still rather see him as opposed to Governor Christie or Rudolph Giuliani- - both of which would be so openly biased in their prosecutions of various people it wouldn’t be funny.  You must remember that all of Obama’s executive orders on immigration will be overturned.  There is another guy up for National Security and it’s this guy named Major Garret, and he’s your typical Islama-phobiac.  He believes in taking a hard line on all Muslims and not just terrorists.  The US Senate will have to approve Jeff Sessions for Attorney General.  Apparently he has racism in his past.  I’m going to look up this on the internet in a minute or two.   Chuck Schummer is the new Senate Majority leader and I’d just like to say that he’s such a good speech maker- - better than Obama and Hillary in my opinion, that the democrats, if they couldn’t stomach Bernie- - should have picked either Schummer or Dick Derbin or some eloquent democrat like that to be the party’s standard bearer this season.  

 I wrote Judy and complained that I thought I had lost a lot of weight in the past several months since I was last officially weighed.  I also mentioned a lot of stuff about Trump that I also plan to bring up at the holiday gathering this year.  Rather than respond directly to my letter, Judy wrote me several letters trying to de-bunk the global warming myth as she sees it.  Just after I read this I was listening to Thom Hartman who went into great detail about Global Warming.  There is methane or CH₄ that is frozen like snow or something in the rocks (?) of the Arctic vegetabion.  (?)  Once all of that is freed up because of all the polar ice melting it will throw the C0₂ rating of the atmosphere way beyond what it already is at 400 parts per million.   I so seldom get to use subscripts in Word.  At any rate there is still the whole problem with fissures or breaks, or extreme bends in the polar jet stream that dips it way south.  The jet stream dips way south and cools things off and then later the jet stream returns northward and brings all the warmth of industry northward to the poles with it.  I don’t care what Judy says, I still trust the world’s best scientists over her.  In the morning I went out and got iced tea.  At that time I didn’t see Gabby. 

It was late spring of last year that  I issued the astrological prediction that a Republican would be elected this November.  I also predicted a general downward trend in the stock market till the last two weeks before the election and then the markets would trend sharply upward.  While some of this prediction was not entirely correct- - I believe in Astrology.  In the past few years I have discussed such events that seem to occur "out of the blue".  That's an apt expression we have.  These are events that nobody foresaw ahd that once they occurred changed EVERYTHING forever.  I teach, for the benefit of you new readers or old readers with bad memories, that there are such things as fung chue "strings" that are energy forces released when they are "plucked" by the passage of time.  If there were a way to reverse Time maybe you could somehow un pluck these strings like running a tape backwards through the machine.  These fung chue energy strings are fifth dimensional transfers we call EVENTS that are RELEASED through the plucking of these often giant strings.  Since these strings are based on light- - it doesn't matter what "sign" Aldeberan is in at the moment of release or whatever- - go back 38 years and THIS is the "event horizon" you work with.  The gravity of Aldeberan (and I'm using this as an examples likewise is a "ghost" of reality.  This psychic energy doesn't "traverse" anything to get here but like a string being plucked- - the whole string vibrates and releases energy.  If feng chue is based on gravitational forces as some say- - - the objects can be much closer than the intersteller distances we are discussing.  So it can be said that events- - the arrangement of physical objects- - can trigger EVENTS.  In a sense it's "The Universe paying us back" for SOMETHING but we don't know what.  Since these configurations in the heaven are predestined- - - even though the events ilicit a Fifth Dimensional discharge of energy (as if from a parellel universe or a universe outside our own time-space universe - - - if you're a determinist you still believe the whole thing is predestined.  Some might say "It's God trying to tell us something" or you hear "If God made it happen then God has a plan for it".  But even the Bible reminds us that we don't have the Mind of God, and can't get inside his thought processes, assuming God even engages in "thought" as we humans think of it.
