Post nordstream & covid, I think we now have a negative social contract. I assume that when an event happens that endangers it's citizens, I assume our government initiated it.

The United States doesn't need a social contract of a different sort. There are no Madisons, Hamiltons and Jays with us today. Nor does the society have the cohesive character required for a profound action. Any effort to "improve" or "update" the Constitution would be a disaster, because the document represents a timeless insight into the human condition, both for ill and for good. Our basic problem as a culture is that we have strayed from recognizing that morality is not evolving, as the leftists would have us believe, but that the essence of morality is of divine origin, and until there is repentance and a revival of faith on a mass scale, the prospects for our future are bleak indeed.

The social contract is a psychological need for safety in groups. It means the more people act from integrity, the more integrity and safety the group has. It does not mean you sacrifice your integrity for the sake of the group. Yet, the need for safety by the social contract has been sneakily repackaged to easily appeal to our natural instincts. The wolf is presenting as a sheep, kindly asking the sheep to sacrifice their lambs in the interest of 'so-called' protection of other sheep. The utilitarian smoke and mirrors trick. It is a crafty manipulation that worked long enough for the wolf to gain advantage, and the sheep are left holding the pieces, and are wandering around dazed and confused, not fully understanding the con, and not yet taking responsibility for floating whimsically into danger without vetting the process. Most can be conned, it does not exonerate the skilled perpetrator, but neither can the victim claim complete innocence. To mend the social contract, victims need to do the work of uncovering their own blind spots, and often this will only happen if they are directly and severely impacted by their denial, then they can spread the word until it penetrates the fog enough in the minds of others.

We can compare, complain and pick sides until the cows come home, and yet I go to the answer found in the ability to be compassionate and well informed. History is full of the stuff that wars are made from, ad nauseam. What is missing? Knowing that we are all one, that we affect each other and everything else, through our intentions. When the intention is to protect ourselves from revealing who we are in greed, hatred and personality faults, we are always warring with the truth of our deeper holy selves. When we take the stand of honor and respect for human life and all of the Creators creation, life can flourish. That is what Dr. Malone and others in a similar vein are intent on doing. Be careful to stay clear of hatred or we can become part of the problem of war, large and small.

The longer they had waited, the more that would die and suffer from the jab. Could it be possible to deranged leadership to want war to kill them and somewhat cover their mandated evil tracks?

I never saw a world in 76 years with as insane and evil a money hungry leadership as it has now.

This deadly evil attitude has infected leadership across the world.

Elected officials have turned into self appointed dictators everywhere we look.

Law should be enforced to protect the peace, freedom and safety of the people instead of used to subjugate them.

The moron we have pretending to lead the USA is the laughing stock of the entire world.

We had 4 years of a President we could be proud of overlooking the fact of his "in your face" New York mouth. At least he was respected and we had peace for a time.

There is nothing that works to obtain public support for a war like surprise attacks and mass deaths.

The Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, 9-11, and now a "surprise attack on Israel! Anything to escalate the cause for the money hungry war monger money changers.

We can only hope that people are losing faith in their governments; I'm particular to this occurring in the US. People have begged for the Federal Government to be everything to everyone. The closer they have pushed towards this objective the less capable and effective they have become. Besides the inherent unconstitutionality these historical efforts it has also fed the politicians and bureaucracies to believe that their powers are god like and should be used accordingly. Yes, it was the despicable actions taken to fight the "virus" but don't forget the belief that they could control the earths temperatures... the "climate change" crusade. We should all hope that people have lost faith in government and demand more liberty and that which was promised them in the Bill of Rights and our Constitution. They should demand nothing less. Ironically, the only hope that we have to thrive once again as individuals and a people is with a massive shrinking of the federal government and sound money. The exact opposite of what we have had over the course of the last 50 years. Where are the wise men to lead us there?

Yes, I could not have made that comment unless I had experienced pretty big betrayals and correspondingly big blind spots. Suffering forced me to look for answers. I was taught to practice impartial self-observation and do it most of the time. It is not where you sit for an hour meditating and for the rest of the day stop being an observer. On the contrary, it seems the price of psychological freedom is constant vigilance. You slow down enough to see how under the control of mental conflicts we really are, and in that slowness, you can stop a deceptive, negative thought from adding more negativity to it. You literally ignore the first thought out of existence and break the destructive pattern. I found it exceedingly difficult to do but gets easier with practice like working on any muscle. I would chat to my child's schoolmate's father while walking to school, he was well dressed, drove expensive cars (plural, that's right, on different days obviously), and over time explained he worked in the financial investing sector, and he was from the Virgin Islands. I had inherited some money and thought he could help me invest. It was all lies. He caught me for some of the money. My intuition kicked in and I did some research, my husband discovered he was involved in a court case for fraud. Once I cut him off, he began walking into my kid's classroom in the mornings to create fear in me and tried to corner me at the school. I was terrified, but knew I couldn't cave, and so he stopped. His own child was removed by authorities and put in foster care for abuse. In that case, I noticed (bit too late unfortunately) when I I was in the presence of badness, and I didn't ignore it once observed. Years ago, I did ignore that feeling. I went for an interview for a music producer and writer and got the job. Afterwards, for no apparent reason I felt I had been in the presence of evil and dismissed it as paranoia. As it turned out, I discovered he also was a con artist who had taken a client and his wife's life savings, that was his M.O. So, self-observation helped me discover that I historically ignored my gut feelings, which are lifesaving. Also, I noticed I had many self-sabotaging patterns, once seen it is easier to let them go, sometimes immediately, or over time. Even in close personal relationships, I noticed how a charming person would choose me as a friend, and I complied, falling hook, line and sinker for the mask. I would invest lots of time and energy with those who were exploitative. I dug and discovered I confused interest for regard. I am committed to catching red flags early now, it saves so much hurt, time and money. I am committed to asking for every situation, 'what is my part in this' sometimes the revelation is that I was at the wrong place at the wrong time, other times, I realize I was operating from a faulty perspective.

"Mutual obligation" ? A "tie that binds"? "From Each According to Ability and to Each According to Need" certainly "ties" those with "ability" - with an "obligation" -for life - under the diktats of Marxism.

Unless I missed something vis-'a-vis this latest attack with some 5000 rocket propelled BOMBS and INVASION of Israel and horrific slaughter of people of Israel by Hamas, Hezbollah extremists - the ones who daily chant "DEATH TO ALL JEWS AND ISRAEL" - who "teach" their children to HATE ALL JEWS! Over what? A TINY strip of land - real estate - of primarily DIRT AND SAND - that was given to the German Jewish survivors of the death camps of the National SOCIALISTS aka the "NAZI's"- by the UNITED NATIONS. Israel did NOT INVADE nor appropriate some "Palestinian" land of milk, cream and honey.

Through decades of hard work, the formerly BARREN lands were made productive and viable - and

coveted by those who did not in any way shape or form actually husband raw land into useful, productive and life sustaining PROPERTY.

Anyone who has followed any or all of the multitude of WARS in history - on every continent and by every nation - one unmistakable recurring fact emerges: ALL wars are fought over REAL ESTATE, i.e., PROPERTY. Just like Russia is trying to appropriate the LAND in the Ukraine - for its mineral resources and fertile SOIL.

Am I mis-informed...In regards to Benji yahoo...Did or did he not sell his entire population of all citizens to the Pfizer exclusive rights to a vaccinated Cov19 shot with a contract in written perpetuity of "0" liability?

And to allow Pfizer rights to experiment in Reponses to any and all new Pandemics? SAY WHAT?

The Israelis are experiencing ontological shock. I wish them well and hope they can recuperate to see how complacent they've been. I read on The Tablet a couple of days before the Hamas assault an article about the 1973 war, which the Israelis almost lost except for the fighting e'lan of their service men and women and a timely infusion of military aid from President Nixon. Golda Meir was presented numerous times that there was a massive build up of Arab armies all around the country but she and her head of intelligence just refused to believe front line commanders evidence. So, they were surprised by the attack, their hubris and stiff-neckedness causing it. The country paid for it. The attack by Hamas should have been found out, or at least anticipated, as the entire existence of Hamas is to destroy the Jewish and kill all the Jews. My guess is that there was ample evidence by Israeli intelligence, and probably our own, but certain people just didn't want to be so, and they ignored it.

To be more scientific and less philosophical, the 'social contract' is more our evolved DNA directed behavior now that we know these things in more detail than when "We the People" was written. Cooperative survival has stubbornly taken over and widened from tribal alliances to viewing every human as a valuable member of society. We have periods when we lose track of this with the stresses of the moment but a wide majority behaves this way even though a few do not. Most of us see them as the minority and do not follow. They see themselves as the majority till the rest of us say they are not. We need to be a little louder in telling them they are not the majority but only the few who are out of step.

Postings yesterday and today leave me reflecting on Global forces as they relate to National affairs. Events and forces impacting our U.S. and Israel are currently paramount. More specifically we are reflecting on issues related our responses to attacks related to Covid generally and Hamas in particular.

My personal take on this is to first consider the goals of the Globalists as they are contributing in setting off these conflagrations. They have been spending years devising schemes to create sufficient instability, doubt and fear to grab control. IMO they have a substantial role here.

Next, I'm looking at the impact these destabilizations have wrought within our respective nations. I equate our social fabric with our trust in our Governments and each other. Unquestionably severely rent.

The next question, in my mind, is where and how to effectively raise our responses. I think our Good Doctors have been setting the stage. Recognizing and understanding basic issues. Recognizing what hasn't and isn't working. Coming together to develop strategies and initiatives to push ahead.

As for ourselves, thanks to your support, inroads have begun. We have to expect a hell on earth through 11/24. I anticipate the need for committed focus and efforts by each and all.

As for Israel, should they survive despite the all of the attacks by the Globalists and our U.S. governing forces, one can hope they will come together to forge effective responses and recovery. I have done what little I can to SOS, our strongest line of defense in that regard (ML). I was able to pass along a couple issues before, that surfaced here or maybe with the ET, successfully. But that's a loose path to pin hopes on.

Thank you for sharing these matters with us. Safe travels and much success opening eyes and generating commitments.

Bestest plus!

They renamed the Washington Redskins the Washington Commanders. The new name says it all. We are the servants and they are the bosses. Our just is to obey, and they know what’s best for us in every arena. God help us!

A bit unfair to use Israel as the prime violator of the social contract. Our own Constitution begins....We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America..

And yet what has our government done under Biden? It has subverted our immigration laws and opened our borders. Compounding that by using tax revenue confiscated from hard working citizens to lavish upon the lawless aliens. It has failed to ensure justice while corrupting our Intel and law enforcement agencies. It has devalued our currency and put us $32 trillion in debt. It has locked down the healthy and mandated experimental vaccines without warrant. It has oppressed us and tried to drive wedges amongst us based on race, ethnicity, politics and sexual orientation. The Biden regime has broken the social compact - trampled and spit on it. The only proper result would be a massive resistance. In every form possible until we are rid of this corrupt cancer on our land.

We have the Constitution of the United States of America. It provides us protection but it is up to us to vote for those people who want to uphold that Constitution. It starts at the city level ,then the county level ,then the state level , and then the country level. We need to help those seeking election that will follow the guidelines of the constitution. Check out those seeking to run for office. If they have a voting record , check that out. We have elections coming in a year that could make all the difference in where our country is headed.
