A waking moment for the chaotic West
Plea from a die hard patriot in the desert of unknowing the known .
Living through the great unknowing
When knowing becomes not knowing, the death of knowing is a return to the womb.
What we knew we no longer know … and never did want to know? Is it worth knowing anything in the times of unknowing the known, when dead souls are the blind leading the blind?
We know from long ago, very ancient times, the money changers are not allowed in the temples but they shatter them on a daily basis and our beliefs and values are buried in the ruins.
We know everything about nothing , and nothing about what must know and must feel to be us.
The false prophets steal and strip away our knowing and feeling like the fleecing of sheep as they celebrate the shearing knowing the virtual pen stocks are secured by the silence there in.
The true prophets know too much, allowed to chatter away on the margins with lofty notions made to disappear as they are uttered. Knowing is condemned to be unknown. They are the “traitors” rebelling against the tyranny nobody wants to know . This is the age where knowing, must become unknown.
There are the ever expanding known unknowns, and the unknown unknowns as we come to despise the benchmarks we have known for so long.
How much of not knowing is willful ignorance, the slavish march back to ancient tombs?
We speak of the “unknown” but we are unknown to ourselves… is the pain of knowing so unbearable?
The blather of politicos is to destroy the known as the alchemists of deceit and anarchy.
The scribes who are supposed to know, whore the truth suffering the arthritis of too many pay checks.
The gifts of knowing, feeling, thinking are the greatest; but we shun them as the leper who gives us his knowing look.
The desertification of the pathetic West is the crackle of curled mud under jack boots and empty horizons.
Is there a waking moment to be had?

A special note to readers
In preparing my own blogs I read many other reputable websites all of which have one thing in common… All are independents struggling for cash, and working on shoe string budgets to deliver world class journalism from world class journalists for us.
They are more important than ever as they are the essential rebuttal to the mainstream media that has whored itself to corporate wars and the desertification of the West.
Here I list just a few examples Consortium News, Information Clearing House, The Duran, Redacted and many more .
I also stress it is more important than ever to gather your news and opinion from multiple sources and international sources.
The global independent media and its dedicated and courageous journalists are our life line to the truths of our times. They need our support more than ever in these critical times.
You've got some serious Planet of the Apes vibes going there. And thanks for those MacArthur and Ike quotes. I'm a huge history buff and didn't know those.
