Kamala is a shoo-in. Ding Dong Rang The Bell

Summary:

If I worked hard, I would earn a college degree and engage in real-life experiences, giving me enough knowledge to navigate life successfully. A college education combined with hard work would ensure my ticket out of financial and mental poverty. Being left alone, I could advance with minimal barriers. But I was wrong. I was too young to discover the dark forces of ideological demons that were the powerful forces in this country.

Article:

I could always outwork most because of my poor background, having my first job at 9 years old. Then, I attended a government-sponsored political indoctrination facility, called a university, to expand my vocabulary and submit to a leftist, hyper-sensitive, hyper-cultural, and politically polarized society. I had to learn about a new and improved version of political correctness, cultural-appropriation, cultural-misappropriation, cultural conformity, white privilege, toxic masculinity, gender privilege, gender identity, gender neutrality, or nutarianism, misogyny, homophobia, mass-hysteria, nationalist agenda, globalist agenda, state sponsored propaganda, sexual harassment accusation pandemic, where anyone accused is guilty by public opinion, no proof required. I had to learn that reverse racism against whitey was now the norm because of white privilege.

I also learned about how illegals show up by the millions and demand free stuff, like a medical service-tune up vacations, then return to their own countries without paying. I learned about encompassment and the expansive power of the deep state and the swamp.

I felt pressured to self-censor my thoughts, dreams, aspirations, and values. No intellectual inquisition, expressed ideas, or wisdom was suggested here. No opinions? Silence was golden, and obedience was ever-present. What was demanded was transparency and submission! Hypersensitivity and mass-hysteria constituted a strategy to defeat individualism and self-sufficiency. Collectivism and re-distribution rang loud.

In most cases, avoiding the appearance of discriminating against almost everyone and anything that exists requires submission in the form of silence. Older people are assumed to be transparent to the outside world, absent of opinion, as though we did not exist. There is an unstated undercurrent presumption that age constitutes institutional irrelevance.

After thinking I had figured out the new appropriate actions or conversations were acceptable, I responded to a knock on the door. When I answered, as any courteous and obedient and transparent citizen would, I was confronted by six credentialled officers in cheap suits and skinny ties, with guns clutched close to their rotund bodies. I wasn't sure, but it appeared to be a group of Sargent Fridays, or, closer to the character played by Broderick Crawford in the TV series Highway Patrol. Or even Karl Malden in The Streets of San Francisco? Just a group of disheveled Perry Masons? There were no trench coats, just cheap suits, with skinny ties, rotund bellies, and 9 mm Glock guns clutched closely for convenience and to ensure proof of their institutional power.

Yes, gentlemen, how can I help you this evening? Mr. Harkey, we are here to serve you a subpoena and begin an investigation for the Federal Bureau of Social Engineering & Compliance, a government agency responsible for monitoring and enforcing social and business conduct. We have a warrant to present to you.

Gentlemen, I am happy to respond and help you, but what does this have to do with me? Is it about a neighbor or my ex-wife? As far as I know, she lives in Texas, and I have not heard from them in 35-plus years.

No, Mr. Harkey, it has to do with you. The AL compliance algorithms have been reviewing your social and business email trail and social media interface with friends and/or perceived friends you profess to possess. It appears to the compliance committee (enforcers) that you have stepped out of bounds with the acceptable standards brought forth by the government.

Mr. Harkey, you violated the rule of possessing only a limited number of personal relationships. We have no problem with superficial friendships like those on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and X because we can control them. But we draw the line regarding deeper, more meaningful relationships. Superficial relationships are fine because we know that you will not become close enough to others to form any adversarial plans or opinions against the establishment of government. Your relationships are not your own but subject to our scrutiny and control.

We have learned that you are in a private, capitalist-based business enterprise. Are you aware we have strict rules about keeping your relationships at a distance, private, capitalist, business, or otherwise? These rules dictate that you must maintain a professional distance from your business associates and refrain from forming personal friendships that could lead to adversarial plans or opinions against the government.

Mr. Harkey, we are here because it appears that you have assimilated too many friendly relationships. Our algorithms suggest that you are combining personal friendships with business friendships. You must reacquaint yourself with the strict rules in the 70,000-page federal social engineering rule manual.

We believe that you have multiple infractions and violations. Investigation and possible prosecution are warranted. Or, as a negotiated submission of guilt, we can allow you to go to a government re-education camp. At this facility, individuals are 're-educated' to align with government-approved beliefs and behaviors.

The committee of compliance comrades have closely monitored the contacts that you have made in both your business and personal email servers. We have also reviewed your social content and interface with the public. The committee has reviewed all your comments, expressed views, and analyzed them for possible subversive intentions. We have sifted through 100 s of hours of information, including your daily comments and activities. We find your opinions and actions to be disturbing. We believe that you have violated rules 684.45.38, 724.56.442, and 700.005.111. of the Compliance Code. You must reacquaint these regulations and be held accountable for deviations or infractions.

Sirs, I was always taught in my education from childhood through college that we lived in a free county. I was explicitly taught that I possessed the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. With liberty, I was taught I am free to live within society and protected from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority, usually referring to government intrusions. I was taught that the opposite of liberty is tyranny, which refers to a cruel and tyrannical government. I was taught the government has no right of arbitrary use of power and control. Sirs, what you expect of me is an intrusion forced upon me by government, encroaching upon my liberty. It's like being told to swim in a pool with no water or to fly without wings. It's absurd, unjust, and a mockery of the freedom I was taught to cherish.

Mr. Harkey, you have the right to think whatever you want, but we in government still possess the ultimate monopoly of power over your actions, thoughts, and reflections. We believe you must conform to all standards created by the Bureau, period!

This warrant we are serving requires you to show up at the Federal Bureau of Social Engineering & Compliance headquarters on a specific date for an interview. An officer of the bureau will thoroughly interview you. We will evaluate your responses at the interview and recommend a reeducation, re-indoctrination, or compliance program to rehabilitate and bring back into conformity with the Federal Social Engineering Code and the Politically Correctness Code of Ethics.

Based on our evaluation, we may dismiss you or place you into a 24-month re-education conformity program. If all else fails and you refuse to conform, you will undergo an electroshock treatment 12-step program. You will either conform or be relegated to a wheelchair, tended to by thoughtful government employee labor union members.

Your choice, Mr. Harkey? We assume that you have read the 70,000 required pages and, as a result, understand the appropriateness of our question about conformity. We believe you clicked the box when you signed up for Internet access. Mr. Harkey, you may have paid too much attention to the wrong news network and/ or news sources, education, or books of learning, the wrong ones that are unacceptable to the establishment of government who controls everything. We only allow groupthink based on our regulations.

The summons we are serving requires you to visit a government counseling center run by Medicare.

In my first session with a recent Berkeley graduate majoring in behavioral psychology, I found myself. He was insistent that I use the proper pronouns and acknowledge his attachment to the LGBTQ trans community. Wokeness was ever apparent in his (her) conversation.

In my first session, he asked me what interests me and what made me happy. I paused: I like my family, kids, puppies, kitties, horses, motorcycles, rock, country, and western music, reading, writing, drinking beer with my buddies, hamburgers, pepperoni pizza, and that good old-fashioned habit of making money to support all my interests and family.

He paused for a short break with a look of alarm and bewilderment. Upon returning, he suggested that I might not understand myself and what is required to adapt to today's modern culture. After about 24 months of weekly counseling, he suggested I straighten my life to conform to the Federal Bureau's regulations. He explained that his fee is most likely covered under my government medical insurance plan, so there is no minimum or maximum that I will have to worry about for his counseling.

Mr. Harkey, tell me about some things you enjoy. I have thousands of recordings of rock, country, jazz, and various other types of music. He wanted to explore some of my favorites. He indicated that my selection would go a long way in identifying whether I conform to today's cultural requirements of conscientiousness. He noted that I needed to explore both my conscious and subconscious thoughts. What were the underlying reasons for the selection of particular music favorites?

Mr. Harkey, your music selection could offer a pretext to your tendencies of toxic masculinity, gender privilege, gender identity, white privilege, and/or tendencies toward misogyny and homophobia. Mr. Harkey, I suggest that by modifying and experimenting with your chosen gender preference, you may give yourself a broader perspective.

Sir, music may or may not reflect one's thoughts, but it reflects one's interest in a particular subject or emotion. I might like the chosen lyrics or the instruments' rhythm, beat, or uniqueness. To the extent that someone would listen to a song, then go out and engage in a subversive act, is extremely rare. Music is an art form, and in most cases, listening will stimulate some emotion, such as anger, sadness, happiness, love, affection, sexuality, mystery, perplexion, reflection, or cultural appropration.  Only people who sing or chant about radical ideologies, such as certain religions or political ideologies, may follow through with some madness or subversive actions.

Music rarely evolves into existential actions against others, whereby music lovers attempt to define their human existence or wrestle with big questions, such as the meaning of life, the hereafter, or the foundation for engaging in subversion.

There has been a long history of government involvement in subversive intention(s) in music or possible subliminal subversive intentions, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation has investigated musicians.

Simple songs like, Louie, Louie by the Kingsman, Paul Revere and the Raiders, White Rabbit with Grace Slick, The Doors with Jim Morrison, John Denver, Jimi Hendrix, Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and dozens of others have been investigated, and endlessly harassed by the FBI, for presumed subversion intentions. Some suggest that the government may have been involved in the death of John Lennon.

So, sir, asking you to question me is not a surprise. Your budget is endless, your institution is a monopoly, and challenging assumptions are sanctioned by government imposition, no matter how preposterous.

Mr. Harkey, there is no need to be hostile. Please describe a few of your favorite songs. But remember that if they violate issues we have discussed, we may require you to give them up as part of your wellness and cultural reform program. We will run the lyrics of your favorite songs through our compliance software. You must discuss the reasoning for any deviation from our acceptable conformance standards.

Ok, sir, I'll give it a try. Here I go.

1) Borne to be wild, by Steppenwolf

2) Macho Man, by Village People

6) Beer drinkers and hell raisers by ZZ Top

7) Shelter Me by The Rolling Stones

8) November Rain, by Guns and Roses

9) Welcome to the Jungle, by Guns and Roses

10) There is a Stranger in My House, by Ronny Millsap

11) Money for Nothing by Dire Straits

12) Our House by Crosby, Stills & Nash

13) Welcome to the Jungle, by Guns and Roses

The counselor wanted to analyze the possible subversive intent of the lyrics of each of my favorite songs. The ultimate question, Mr Harkey, is whether there are possible subversive intentions in your selection of music. Are you going to engage in any activities that might undermine the power and authority of the establishment of government? We must analyze these songs through our algorithms, which will tell us if there is subversion in your conscientiousness.

Mr Harkey, let's start with the Born to be Wild lyrics.

Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way Yeah, Darlin', make it happen. Take the world in a love embrace Fire all of your guns at once And explode into space

It appears, Mr. Harkey, that you desire to live free, like in some renegade lifestyle, free from exterior encumbrance and conformity, and dictate life upon your terms. Is that true, Mr Harkey. Yes, Sir, counselor.

And, Mr Harkey, I am appalled as to the lyrics of Macho Man

Body, wanna feel my body, body, baby, such a thrill, my body Body, wanna touch my body, body, baby, it's too much, my body Body, check it out, my body, body, baby, don't you doubt, my body Body, talking about my body, body, baby, checking out my body

Mr. Harkey, I cannot believe you would listen to such crass songs. This song lacks sensitivity, refinement, and intelligence. This will not pass any of the acceptable conformance regulations. This suggests a high level of toxic masculinity. You will undoubtedly be required to discontinue listening to this unless you can prove that there could be inclusive and multi gender implications that would encourage you to explore less masculine pursuits. That, of course, would be satisfactory. Now, for Under My Thumb by the Rolling Stones. Mr. Harkey, I am aghast. Do the lyrics of the disgusting song have gender degradation implications? The song does not even acknowledge additional genders.

Under my thumb The girl who once had me down Under my thumb The girl who once pushed me around It's down to me The difference in the clothes she wears Down to me, the change has come, She's under my thumb Isn't it the truth, babe? Under my thumb The squirmin' dog who's just had her day Under my thumb A girl who has just changed her ways

How degrading to suggest that a girl is under someone's thumb. This suggests gender degradation, toxic masculinity, and that you are a misogynist.

Women should always be held in the highest regard, Mr Harkey. I am going to write you up for a demerit over this disgusting language and implication that you enjoy. You should form a new habit of only listening to music that reflects gender neutrality.

Mr. Harkey, do I need to take a break to regain my composure?

Now that we are back, I have decided to end today's discussion and ask about your compliance. We will continue next week at the second of our 24 counseling sessions. After we conclude our reasoning for liking these songs, our next subject for you to consider is favorite movie scenes. We'll talk about this and explore your preferences and implications. Please suggest a few you will add to your list so I can run them through our compliance computer. OK, now let's see.

• 1)The banjo scene in Deliverance
• 2)The Restaurant Scene in History of Violence
• 3)The discovery of the dead bodies in the rural setting, depicting a poorly handled drug deal, in No Country for Old Men
• 4)The scene in Blazing Saddles where the sheriff is declared nearby as he is accepting his position of new sheriff of Rockridge
• 5)The scene in Grand Torino where Clint Eastwood rescues Yum Yum, the teenage Korean girl, from the rowdy black guys
• 6)The charoit race in Ben Hur
• 7)The crash scene in Heat

Mr. Harkey, in future sessions, we will discuss books you have read to understand you and your inner self better. I want to gain an understanding of your internal mind, your soul, your nature, and the quest you use to find your inner self and your uniqueness. I will search for your interpretations of symbolism, symbolic associations, and possible repressed sexuality.

Mr Harkey, how many books have you read? Can you name a few books that are your favorites?

Yes Sir,

• 1)Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand
• 2)Fountainhead, by Ian Rand
• 3)The Creature from Jekyll Island by Edward Giffin
• 4)A Man in Full, by Tom Wolfe.
• 5)1984 by George Orwell
• 6)Animal Farm by George Orwell
• 7)The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
• 8)Think and Grow Rich
• 9)The Power of Positive Thinking
• 10)Acres of Diamonds

Mr Harkey, how many books do you estimate that you have read?

Sir, between 300 and 400.

Okay, Mr. Harkey, I am handing you a disclosure document that you need to sign to show that you understand and will comply on a going-forward basis. You need to conform to the regulations created by the Federal Bureau of Social Engineering & Compliance.

We are from the government and here to help you. Our job is to write regulations that we deem to be in your best interest. You don't need any input. We own and control all the means of production. We want you to use them for our ultimate benefit. We require that you obtain a license from the state so that we can control your every move and tax you for your every potential success. We write regulations that are suggested guidelines, but violators who fail to conform will be persecuted and prosecuted.

Twenty-two million government employees happily write unlimited and sometimes redundant regulations requiring cooperation and conformance. We demand monopoly power on all aspects of your life. We create oversight agencies, sometimes overlapping and sometimes conflicting, that write, implement, and compel compliance standards. Also, an additional 20,000,000 million or so retired government employees were instrumental in creating this complex infrastructure. If you are an objector who fails to comply and refers to this as tyranny, you will be disciplined and forced to comply.

Please read this and sign it. I will see you next week for our regularly scheduled Monthly appointment. I hope you have a lovely week.

Then, I woke up with a feeling of anxiety. Coffee rather than beer was my selected choice of soothing beverages.

The very next day, a miracle occurred.
