THE 'BOMBS':  ITS NOT THE 'LEFT WING' OR THE 'RIGHT WING', ITS THE 'DRUNK NUT WING', MANY POSSIBILITIES

(WARNING: SOME READERS MAY FIND THIS DISTURBING)

We all know that the Republican Party propaganda machine demonizes the Clinton's, Barack Obama,  George Soros etc. and milks resentment of them to drive up voter turnout.

What better way to neutralize that than to stage this kind of activity two weeks before an election to neutralize the GOP game plan.

My own personal experience with hatred and resentment of 'enemies', real or imagined, reminds me of why I say this.

My own experience with political activism reminds me of this and my experience applies to any kind of political activist, "Right" or "Left".

I wasn't sure what side I was on when I was 8-10 years old, but I paid serious attention to the news and read newspapers like York, PA's own "Gazette and Daily", whose publisher J.W. (Jess) Gitt called himself a "Marxist-Leninist".

I read at one point that there were "right-wing radio preachers" who were "anti-Semites" and that intrigued me.

Let me go backwards to note when I was six years old an older female chose to lead me into a sexual situation I was certainly not ready for at that age.

I was hurt, but I don't want to play a victim card as much as to say what followed were other instances of bullying and intimidation, people wanting to lead me into unwanted sexualized situations.

I reacted to that with anger and resentment and a need to find an enemy and an explanation for the harm done to me and I chose dark paths including adult beverage consumption and use of inhalants.

I met an older boy who had a hatred of Jews and began to go down that dark road in my thinking.

Part of my darkness was the need to go after "the Jews" and find ways to harm or hurt them like a prank call to the local synagogue.

But one day I decided to make contact with the media, calling a local radio station to in some way paint a negative picture of Jews, to create a "false flag".   It was a childish primitive thing with no chance of success and I failed miserably.

Eventually, I found the "right-wing preachers" on the radio but they weren't anti-Semites, they were the die hard fans of Israel and my thinking took a dramatic turn in a different direction.

But it would take me many more years to find sanity and sobriety in my life, I was a hypocrite and a religious drunk too for many more decades in the religious subculture listening to words like those sung by Phil Keaggy:

"I was lost in a fantasy that blinded me"-Link to Your Love Broke Thru-Phil Keaggy

I indeed was lost inside the Christian conservative evangelistic subculture.  There's nothing wrong with God or Jesus, but there was plenty wrong with me in my religious-political activist days.

My experience reminds me that crazy, nutty drunk people are behind the acts committed today and that crazy, nutty, drunk people are capable of false flags.

During the Oregon Standoff in 2016 and before that at Bunkerville in 2014, a peaceful God-fearing group of people (the Bundys) took a stand and found themselves confronted by evil militant federal authorities and their handmaidens.

The porn-infused lead BLM Agent Dan Love of Bunkerville  playing a big role in generating a rage that would gun down LaVoy Finicum in Oregon.

In the aftermath of his death, a man inspired by him and the non-violent philosophy of Dr.Martin Luther King, David Fry, would carry on the Oregon protest and end up being found not guilty by the jury of his peers along with the Bundys and other leadership defendants.

Thank God Ryan Bundy is on the ballot for Governor of Nevada November 6th so one doesn't have to vote for the illusion and delusion of differences between the Republicans and Democrats.

George C. Wallace may have gotten a lot wrong in what he said and did during his life but he was dead on target 50 years ago this month as he campaigned against Republicans and Democrats for President;

"There's not a dime's worth of difference between them"

That someone appears to have taken the differences between these two parties to be dramatic and real to the point where they do such things as have been done blows my mind.

Songwriter Jackie Trent and her then husband Tony Hatch cooked up this lyric that Petula Clark sang in the 1960's ("Don't Sleep In the Subway")

"You must realize that its all compromise and the problems are so overrated"

That's what Democrat and Republican politics is at the end of the day.

The healthcare stocks soared for Obamacare and they still soared this year after the Republicans "fixed it" because the fix is in for the healthcare industry and so many others.

Food for thought.

May we all find "peace and serenity, sanity and sobriety" in our lives and find a better way to live.

Wake up to reality.
