Opened My Digital News Paper Today to This: Freedoms Hidden Trade Off

Freedoms to choose, Life's only true control.

Read this to the end and see where it goes. First, I need to lead you to what I see as Freedom

Opened my digital mail this morning to unbelievable world happenings, which is how fast the world seems to be moving. I haven't bought an old-fashioned paper in years. The digital headlines were similar to those of years past, with different words that still support similar ideas.

It struck me again how much the world has changed from the one I grew up in. I'm 73 years old now, and I've spent most of my life believing in freedom. Freedom of mind, of speech, of living. Freedom to make choices as I choose. Whether good or bad, they're all my choices. I admit that many should have been better. But even those bad choices are better than nothing. If you learn from your misteaks, um, err, mistakes, that is. I sat at my desk, and a different perspective flashed into my mind. The ideas and concepts hit me like a storm.

I began to think of all the experiences People go through, whether a long life or a short life.

The idea that we are, for the most part, taught that either we are graced with good luck or graced with the worst of life. Living in hardship that is truly due to many of their prior choices in life. Current living is based on your past choices and how you handled recovering from bad ones. Did you do your homework and learn how to repair the bad choices? to free you from your predicament. Did you choose to persevere to find paths to your success or take an easier path?

My own life is a story of falling from grace and rising again. It was choices that I should have known about or investigated sooner. I was not born hardwired for success. No one is. The world does not give us that as freedom; we have to earn it, invest in it. In the United States, The Words that make this true are the following: WE THE PEOPLE. It is our choices that make freedom prevail. It is a series of choices based on the fact that nothing in life is free. You ALWAYS trade something for it with a choice.

Whether the trade is a Thought, a coin, your life, your freedoms, or your very soul, if you believe it so as the character Faustus did. Like everything else, even your soul is a choice once set on a path; that path never passes in the same place or the same way. 

The current situation in New York City, which I have visited on Business many times, is a fantastic example of destruction by choice in mass. Bad decisions are made by people who believe they will get something for nothing. told to them by a man who sees them as peon infidels who need not be told the truth, nor have any need to be honest in dealings with infidels. By his own beliefs. It will be an extremely hard lesson for New York State as well when the business moves to Texas or other freedom-loving states. It will cause the financial capital of the world to move to another state. 

I predict that if it continues, it will bankrupt many of the current millionaires and generational New Yorkers like my family within 7years.  Businesses such as Amazon and others have already been forced to choose to stay or go. Choices{ Bad ones} and one New York City will never be able to recover from again. When Wall Street, which many have already left, falls. There's no reset going to happen.

 Some people end up living a long, prosperous life, while other tiny lives end very quickly. It is really much the same when you think about it. As a child, I looked at life as a long distance to my end of life on this earth. Though with events that occurred, I am surprised that I made it this far. 

Now I look back at the life I have lived and the things that have had major and subtle changes in my life. I see what I could and still can correct to some degree. With age, it becomes very easy to examine one's past, but it can be complicated to make choices that should have been made long ago. Procrastination occurs when you are young and think that the road you are walking is unending.

The only Choice in our lives. Read on, please

But every moment that we even breathe is another choice. Even when you decide to stop breathing, that in itself is another choice that has no reset, or so you think. You probably thought that was a finite solution. Well, if you believe in most faiths or none, there is a continuity to that also. Some believe in reward and punishment. Some in sexually perverted eternity with virgins, the more primal minds believe. Without a physical body, that's going to be a feat of sheer magic. Some believe that we are destined to recycle again and again till we get our spirits sorted out. 

For those having no particular beliefs. There are many videos and researchers, as well as medical people who work with the dying, who have seen an energy by whatever name you may tag it with, leave the body at that last breath when the machine we call our body stops. We are seeing these beliefs change even now. trading and updating. Adapting to social beliefs. Still free to believe as you wish?  

I once asked questions in a Born Again Church at Bible study hour and was asked not to return. I asked about one of those unexplained "mysteries" in the KJ Bible. The former life insurance man turned so-called minister asked me not to return, as I was confusing and damaging the members' faith. 

I thought of the Christians in the area when the lions were tearing them to pieces. I looked behind me and all around. The minister asked me what I was looking for. I said I'm truly sorry, I thought that I had tucked my barbed tail in, and left my pitchfork at the door. He stopped the bible class and actually walked me to the door. My choice, I have not entered a church since, only as a visit with others. Jesus preached on open ground. God is WITHIN us all. We don't need a Switchboard; it's a direct connection.

There are a million other beliefs and variations of beliefs. Check out the millennia-long list of those who are known throughout history. A few believe we just run out of power, and the machine simply quits. REREAD THE PRIOR PARAGRAPH PLEASE.

There are a few things in life that a person has no choice about.

Being born is one. That choice is completely up to others who are acting responsibly or are acting without any thought or care for a created being's future. That is why God created us. It's said we are in God's image. That is our choice to create. That creation is at our mercy to make choices to guard its life with ours. The choice is to murder a part of yourself. Reread this to help you rethink if you believe it won't matter.

Note to you, the reader. A jellyfish has no brain, but is considered a living thing; some would say a fetus is not a living thing. Yet it lives and thrives. Many would marvel and be amazed that a jellyfish, but would not give that same consideration to a helpless Human fetus. The lion's reason was that they had been starved and didn't know better. 

Paying taxes on most everything.In many states, such as New York, particularly those States where there's a Political Sledgehammer over people regarding taxes, Taxes on land and land use, taxes on absolutely everything. 

My 96-year-old dad died, and there were taxes even on the gravesite and equipment to bury him, even the undertaker charged taxes. We then had to pay some sort of death tax to get closure. If you work out of state and still have anything registered in the state, state taxes will chase you into the other state or even another country for 20 years or indefinitely. One of the few states that can do this or that will do this, this choice is that most folks should move to free states and leave New York's ways and ideas behind. Leave the dead to bury the dead. 

Yet only the other day, Governor Kathy Hochul was on the news whining about the cost of living and pointing a finger at Trump for all the problems New York has developed. She also stood shoulder to shoulder and backed the current mayor of the greatest Financial power in the world, New York City. Her choice, the same vice Governor turned Governor when Cuomo fell from grace during the COVID madness. 

The same one who took our choices of masked or no masks. Made plans to permanently lock citizens in concentration camps who didn't comply without arrest, trial, a judge, or jury.saying without a release time. She publicly had a news conference to tell those who didn't agree with her to leave the state. Now she is getting her wish. Make a choice, but be careful for what you wish.

This is another trade that you think you don't have. That is a choice WE THE PEOPLE have. Except for this trade, and live with it as where you enjoy being. Be driven out of your homes at some point in time, or change them. be taxed into financial ruin, or make a change to your goals in life.

The wars going on in the usual parts of the world are nothing new. It has been going on from the beginning of time. Just open any complete and non-modernized history book. Then see if you can find an older book with the same title. A much different explanation inside. It all changes to help you conform to those in power who pull the strings of our lives' other choices. 

Those who allowed themselves to be led into the aforementioned Roman arena to be lions' food. The Romans didn't like individuals questioning the established order either. That was that empires choice to rid themselves of problems. 

Dropping to their knees and allowing their own deaths were the victims' choice. To turn the other cheek is not always the best solution. That only empowers bullies to escalate. Whether a slap in the face or a Nuclear bomb. Freedom hates domination from anywhere. 

Can you name even one of those people who missed the piece that says  I quote, 'The Lord helps he who helps himself" now?  Neither can I.

That time is passing for the choice of those in power to document their actions. It's happening now with Epstein's files and the redacting out of the victims and perpetrators. Both need their time to have their day in court. Time has passed, and the choices are the same. new times, same thing.  

The victims made a choice to allow themselves to be on an isolated island for a free vacation with powerful people. That free never happens. A bad choice that takes any further control or choice away from them. 

The choices those powerful people made to abuse those invited girls and others were their choices. One victim has paid a price already. More are said to be buried on the New Mexico Ranch Property. Those powerful people in Washington, D.C., who redact and protect the perpetrating associates are also making a choice. A bad choice to protect monsters hiding in the dark. 2026 must solve that dilemma.

Washington moves on, and those girls are forgotten. You can blame it on President Trump and everyone else, but it is the choice. Many voices in the office need to step up and bring it all into the light. WE THE PEOPLE must raise our voice to pull that curtain of corruption back without fear. Justice for our sisters, daughters, babies, children, and young men. 

I wrote an article a while ago. I explained why this happens repeatedly. Let me capture that here again for you. Zebras are grazing. The morning is quiet. Lions attack the herd, and the zebra herd scatters in terror. One Zebra breaks from the herd and is singled out. The lions attack as the lone zebra is torn apart. Its screams are heard throughout the herd of zebras, who now stand and watch as they return to grazing. After all, it wasn't them, and THAT won't happen to them. 

As the savaging of this zebra takes place, some lions stand watch to protect the pride of those who hunted and now devour the victimized zebra. They protect from others that would intrude on the feasting hierarchy. They didn't attack the zebra, but they are part of the pride, and it will be the same when they hunt. It was the same when they had hunted.  The pride must protect. It is the power of pride. The zebra made several choices that morning. So did the lions.

Same scenario, a time loop with only variations of the actors. Perhaps Shakespeare knew, I believe it was his belief that all the world was a play and we its actors.

This century and the people may have progressed with technology, but human Ideas and natures have, for the most part, remained the same. The scenarios are all written in the same way.

Life forms move in a direction, physically or mentally.

I do not believe that is a choice in mankind. It is their "human" nature. Like a tiger, you dye purple; it is still a tiger inside. It is a script written somewhere we can not go to rewrite what is to be. Even the thoughts in one's mind are a choice to ignore or heed what allegedly comes to Mind. 

That choice takes you on what you believe to be a unique course of action. And, for the most part, it will be unique to you.

only because we are characters written in isolation from trillions of occurring similarities that have happened forever.

Throughout my life, those things and many more seem to run in an eternal circle, as some philosophers state. Different Scenarios.Different times.similar outcomes. Action and reactions.Reactions and safeguards to actions. Still, and yet more choices.

 Bringing this back to my original beginnings, our world and our natures, and mankind's nature may not be only the continual playing out of the proverbial circle of life. Whether personal thoughts. Thoughts brought to actions or circumstances by others' thoughts or actions. 

War is a good example of the choices compounded by Mankinds imprinted nsature and in this play of life and reality.

 Religion programs the scenario from any side. Each has the idea that theirs is from a particular deity, thus one is good, and one is evil. Both mute since god and evil, so it's written, were from the same source. Those making big bucks on it and basically living as the sages and priests have done for...well, forever in mankind's timeline convince the masses to believe the rest are all others to be the children of lesser gods. no capital on the lesser gods. 

That takes a majority of choices away using this mindset. Throw in a little Hell, Fire, and Brimstone, and you've got an army that will literally walk into hell on command.

The choices living things make are the only actual "freedoms" that we have. Those choices are like writing another line in a computer program. That freedom is what is the power of reality.  Reality, being the proverbial concept, powers what we know as our lives from the point of conception, where we first encounter sensation. 

At my age, it's easier as age increases wisdom and sees through some of the veil of the matrix, only to its pattern.  Some wise minds claim to pierce the matrix veil completely. I believe that's a complete illusion. What plan would not foresee the captives escaping the terrarium? Perhaps one day, when I cross that endtime barrier, I may see the Master's work in its whole OR return to be a highwayman again. Maybe we truly do return again.

It was my choice to read my morning Digital newspaper and be inspired to write this. I hope it was, if nothing else, inspirational or at least entertaining.

Feel free to comment and request what you would like to read.

I hope your life is filled with the best that life can give you. And if life gives you Lemons, find a way to profit from the lemonade.

Till next time, folks.

Media Showing a Much Lighter Opinion of The United States President Lately

I have been noticing something a little bit unusual in light of the past few months media conversations. Everything including suggestions by various radio and television media of removing the President of the United States by whatever it takes.Nothing has been agreeable or approved that has been tried.I have seen several things myself that might have worked with some miner changes to the whole idea..But changing it is.

Recently though the hardcore conversations have toned down much of the, over the top comments on the performance and abilities of that office. Unless you listen to the stations catering to those who would be screaming in the street instead of lobbying in the senate or congress.That street screaming violence lost an election awhile ago.The hardworking silent majority spoke with a loud undeniable roar.Even those who lost the election have agreed with that.Lets call it the "Roar" heard roud the world.

Had the election gone differently the losing factions  would be running rough shod over us all.We would be totally independent on the government to support us.Dependent as much as the steel-belt,coal miners, mom and pop business' all over the country now find themselves being forced to do.Welfare is a very hard pill to swallow for those who have worked all their lives. People  who now wonder was it for nothing.Their own government forgot they were the ones who helped get officials to that ivory tower  to look back down on us.

In the past 20plus years the U.S.Government placed the rest of the entire world over the lives of it's own people.The USA was systematically sold out to the rest of the world.Our lifestyle was compromised by stupid untested ideas that whittle away at our lives.The world economy became our milstone pulling us under.

Our former enemies and present enemies were far more important an investment.We even dropped Huge shipping crates of cash from helicopters in the middle east.People in the USA were being given pink slips at the steelmills.Veterans and families were eating in soup kitchens.Billions was shipped overseas in crates to hand out to every tom,dick,and abdula.We are still fighting there...Where did thier money come from to buy arms?hmm!We gave them the guns and money to keep the war going? Strange but I remember that same similar scenario involving Mexican drug cartels and a drug lords getting guns from the USA.
I have traveled this country to see the steel mills sitting idle.People dirt poor with thier signs saying need food for my family.Will work for food.The wife and child sitting a distance away on the curb.Single parents truly slammed into the ground by the system.

Countries that just run commercials every so often with starving babies to help boost a world area that never seems to get on its feet.Media led the charge to our fall.There has always been a rule that you must raise yourself before you raise some one else.You must first help yourself before you help others.It is just common sense to do so.Then you help each other.There are however those that may never able to recover again if left to long.I have no answer for that person.

Regarding the last election win...

The longtime USA values would be gone after such an election . It has always been Get an education or goto work.Work hard ,pull your weight to succeed.Instead, in that world We would all be labeled  what ever label worked to beat down those who built the nations mainstream America.

People  who came from every walk of life,once worked hard to build what is now crumbling down around us.People who live in this century instead of not dwelling 150years plus in the past.We must build from this point in time or live in the past forever.156years ago we were killing each other. No one in thier right mind wants to return there for what ever reason.

Every inch of non-progress in the past 15plus years has brought our country closer to the third world status.We still are above some,but falling below others in industry,education,and healthcare ,rails,to mention a very tiny handful.Infrastructure is falling very rapidly. Political bickering has not been set aside by the few who live above the rest of the mainstream folks.They have very little in comparison to mainstream America yet feel their own changed/corroded ideas speak for us.They sit in Governmental session refusing to participate like spoiled children.

WE THE PEOPLE,who struggle to support families on a failing system with very little.There's nothing when the work is gone except each other.There are many who work But,do not earn enough to have  a savings accounts.Living day to day is a way of life these days for so many families.Still we are told our values of the past have no relevancy?Those values saved us from tyranny.Saved us from famine.Allowed us to have books that were not burned.These days there are books once again being banned.These values gave us the choice of learning a language by choice not doctrine or conquest.The flipside of this is Our new values allow us a medical insurance to have a sex change without question but do not allow a cancer treatment to a patient who could suffering.That patient dies waiting for that same quality coverage loaded with such terrific pain, morphines can not touch.

Does anyone realize the conflict and hate that we witness in the media.The crud that we see and hear as entertainment has been a boom to the stations and channels that are broadcasting 50year old programs on tv and radio.A time when entertainment was just that.ENTERTAINMENT.That flash back trend is driven by the media.People seeking something more mainstream they can identify with.

From the first morning show to the daily talk shows for those at home during the day into late night.

They take us back in time to places and people that just wanted to make viewers smile.There is no sales pitch about what your lifestyle, sexual habits or continual political propaganda for  any cause that isn't mainstream America.All the characters were Identifiable.Example:Much as I disliked Archie Bunker I could at least see the reasons of what made him the way he was.The Jeffersons,So many others.These days you can forget Family night.It doesnt exist.

Those same daytime slots now days have seen overly plump and extremely wealthy women or guys that dress like lawyers attacking guests and others for everything from their ideas to why they even exist.That's not entertainment.That's crude people that have forgotten where they came from.That is if they ever were where many Americans are today.It is also abuse to those guests.That mindset transfers into actions some people copy into their home life.Tranfers to life situations...Have you seen the attitudes of driving in traffic lately?

Crude and mean natured is the idea today.If it's in anyway crude then put it in the show.Can you imagine a show where the actors/actress are always talking about how many sex partners they had or a"woman"built like a linebacker was always entering like Jackie Gleason.Just turn on the tv and you don't have to even use your imagination.

How about a guy who's only task in life was to have sex with as many women as possible.Then the watching public gets wind he has actually given multiple partners crotch rot.Oh boy! thats entertainment.Yech.How about a program with an actor who is a serial killer as the hero.You wonder why kids are messed up?Where did that mass school shooting idea come from you ask?Just swith to the right channel.You'll find it.

I wonder if the people on the news ever ask without agendas or bias,across America just how people felt before the election.How bout at present.Then I wonder if those peoples opinion would be broadcast without an angry mob carrying signs and looting after them in the streets.The Presidents Stats have increased to the positive so they say on last night talking head show.They look at each other and they don't know how.Thats because they don't live in the rest of reality.They live somewhere in a different reality away from the working class.Or what had been the working class.They live away from the silent majority who are being berated,bullied by people who do everything to make them feel guilty and ashamed for values they believe in.

The silent majority are normally quiet peaceful folks who try to believe the system will keep what is traditional on the table.It's rare to find them marching in the street.They have families to support when they can do so.unlike some,they have responsibilities at home

Those who would make the working class feel guilty have forgotten how it felt to be one of those being attacked for who they are or what they believe.Forgot what it felt like to trade what they need for something they would enjoy.Not out of choice but out of necessity because you can't afford it.  We're just not taking  care of our people today.Do I buy my meds or the children's school clothes.What would you do?They'd rather debate who has different whatever fill in the Blank      .Bet they don't attend church much or if they do so...

Perhaps that only counts when they pass the plate on Sunday.

On the news later is just how much the government isn't working together.The media and their programming against mainstream America is what lost that last election for that view. Constantly complaining how things are,but not pointing out how to fix-it.Never looking at the stores that WE THE PEOPLE shop in.We shop where we can afford to buy what we need.They need to climb out of those ivory towers.The gaggal of folks would see that we really are in a shit storm bigger than the Texans are experiencing.That's dreadful enough.

I pass through areas on my travels that are completely empty of once thriving offices,banks and stores that now set empty.Homes that sit vacant.in small communities and huge metropolis areas.People are reported to be off the welfare and unemployment lines.Pretty good reason for that really.The jobs gave out.The benefits ran out.The people could not find jobs.The lines at the welfare and unemployment lines shortened from no one now qualifying to receive those benefits.

On paper the statistics look great but,That family is now living under a bridge.Problem solved Media person.Statistic are the most unreliable thing.Based on whatever is added or subtracted is what the outcome is.For short you can make the outcome anything you want based on what you choose to use as facts.VERY useful to fudge over such things as poverty.

We live in this dying place and watch helplessly as we struggle to hang on while things are outlawed to make us more dependent on the handouts.Each day that passes we see the proud owner of some established old business fail.Then the long time resident loses the car.Finally the bank kicks them out of their homes.If they can't payupthe law comes,tosses thier worldly goods out in the street.The people stand in the cold watching thier world destroyed with the help of those who protect and serve.The lesson here is the newly homeless are no longer tax payers.Welcome to the afterlife...

Big cities are looking in places like Detroit, like war zones.City blocks vacant for miles.Business failing do to no people living there.Try to sell your household goods at the local flea market.regarding survival and bartering after things crash.

You will need your social security card to give them for taxes before you can sell there.Salt on the open wounds from the tax folks.try to give or sell that now homeless family a weapon to hunt for game...see where you end up.feed them in the park and watch the overstuffed rich swarm out to have you arrested.

In some states where its a deadly sin to even talk about survival you will find them in the worst politician/media self created poverty.Hunting is frowned on,Self protection has been outlawed.Don't worry the campaign to outlaw guns worked there.The media sorta forgot to tell the no weapons supporters,"that's okay...Muggers and rapists will provide their own guns cause we can't regulate thier guns".Afterwords the police will tell the now victimized persons they couldn't do anything till victims become available.What a system we got here.

The Plump TV hosts are obviously not going hungry.Their clothes obviously didn't come off a thrift store rack as many of ours did.Still its entertainment we are presented....Why do we watch? 

Those who would attack their guests would also attack your ideas and make it the law.There would be no more compassion for you who did not believe as them anymore than ISIS or any fanatical group.

In their dream world only those they excepted as their people who are all neglected after applying for those programs specifically designed for only them."Their chosen people" as the last 8to 12 years in this country has shown would rise above all who disagree with them brow beaten down by propaganda and created pseudo guilt.There would be no equal anything but to those "chosen" people.ISIS is a very good example of that type of philosophy happening in the world. This what we want in the USA?

You might take a hard look at the various folks who preach about giving ALL children and People the tools to rise.Then start looking closer at the organizations and who is being supported.I support ALL people rising again in the USA.The special supported interests/places would better be called THEIR PEOPLE...Many deserving people are left out of that group.Many of the supported Organizations are not even helping our people in the USA.We have to help our people first.YEAH our people ALL the people like they are doing in Texas right now.Watch the videos in Texas.They are not sorting out THEIR PEOPLE to rescue.Everyone's being rescued.

The average person who could do better would find themselves better qualified but denied the job.Motivated to do the job but passed over.living in the street because you don't deserve a home.un able to defend themselves and family when the mobs in the street decide to rage again for whatever.

The only legal people  would be those who were not.Their rights as non Mainstream  would pre-empt the others.Think about the laws that were attempted by the usual faces in the papers in the past 12years.Think of the laws and how they would have effected you personally.then project the next step to back up these laws.One state(California) passed a law to force everyone possessing a clip 10 rounds of ammunition to turn them in or become a felon.None were ever turned in.How much money went into debating a law nobody wanted.The law was discontinued.Another cost waste.These are the ones who would be king?

Rights...would be based on Race,sexual preference,Party you belong to Etc.is this what we are looking for as  the future of our Country?It is said that when Rome burned that Nero fiddled.The one story that a teacher used to tell the history class I attended was that the emperor Nero had, had enough of the different and poor people living around his place and cluttering up his view.He sent his soldiers out into the peoples homes to set fire to their homes and shopsin the dead of night.The fiddling helped drowned out the screams of the people as they burned.Nero never thought anything could touch him...He was wrong. 

The President is getting to be better known and the media is backing off because they sense that they have fiddled far,too long and the flames of the silent fire is nearing.The next election is coming.

I would hope the winds of change are not as severe as those in the south.WE really must support things that have been neglected far too long.We are Americans who must defend our borders with compassion.Many of the legal immigrants have become our best doctors.Do it right the first time and you won't have to worry about it later.Anarchy rules where there are. no rules.Tyranny rules when there is no true equality.Nations fall when there is no opportunity or incentive left to be patriotic about.

My own family is comprised of numerous nationalities all here legally. The combinations of our countries problems the USA face are ones that have brought down empires in the past.Do we actually want our nation to lose it's identity in this world?Should we change everything to suite a hand full.I would not like the 3rd world as my home country that I grew up in.For all that is may have been it is still our best choice.

Till next dear reader stay positive.If you feel the need to kneel these days let it be for a short prayer to help us all to fix whats broken and mend what we can before its too late

A Prelude to the Real Hunger Games Are currently Taking Place with honors,publicity and Fame going to the Winners.Gladiators all

The Hunger Games (film) (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

English: A fencer. Illustration from the report of the 1908 Olympic Games. From The Fourth Olympiad, being the Official Report of the Olympic Games of 1908. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

I watched a movie recently called the Hunger Games.It was set in a pseudo future setting in coal country.Apparently there was a civil uprising that was put down hard by elite authorities.Dirt poor folks were left at the mercy of an elite freak social structure that lived in ultra luxury.The miners had to use survival hunting and were taxed for any reported unauthorized food. every item asked for was ledgered as a debt to the elites that run things.The setting was not too different from very oppressed society in existence today.There are many in the real world that look much worse than Hollywood can imagine.

Later in the movie Children are chosen by lottery to fight to the death.It becomes  a  televised event for the elites cities entertainment.It is a despicable situation except when you watch the so called reality shows that are currently on TV sets worldwide.

There is a video on Youtube called BUDO that spends the entire time explaining how a beautiful  Samurai  Sword was made. There was much detailing on how the Masters used skill with  the weapon.It ended with 2 very real masters facing off with swords drawn and in the blink of an eye 1 man Beheaded the other...It was
no a prop!

Based on that I began to realize that the real world that we live in has gradually done similar. Events in ways so subtle that we except it as "the way it is".

We send our best athletes to the Olympic Games to compete for the gold and very much the same as The Hunger Games.They win to get rich and famous.They win to encourage others to seek the fame and notoriety that comes with the label bestowed on them.The best athlete,The best Gladiator.The Best Huntsmen.The Olympics are all volunteers and the hunger games are lottery as the U.S. military draft once was.
The Olympics are a peaceful way to have wars without collateral damage and death.Everyone at least goes home alive and for the most part intact.

I would hope we would never consider the movie version of competition,but we  really already have done so.

The killing of others for profit is not so far from the truth.Reporting the carnage is old stuff also.Please note the Romans.  Folks fighting for reasons that the combatants themselves ponder.The mindset is hammered into them as to why. The reasons embedded deep in the subconscious so as to make a better program( to watch?).More drama and intrigue for the 6 o'clock news to show those who watch from afar.TV just replaced the coliseum.

The hammered in  mindset of a military volunteer is set that they are doing their duty to protect others.The controllers of the 'wargames'have been mindset  duty.much longer on this bravado,machismo,Spree DE Core. Whatever name you call it,the observers  televise it for a good propaganda show.Blood flows and explosions burst.Gunfire from all directions as the command audience sits safely somewhere enjoying the show and figuring the next scene. The hunger games brought to reality as shock and awe.

Young people fighting each other for people that they will never meet and killing other young people that they may never know.Folks that they might even like under different circumstances.But some one has ordered them to kill or be killed.

This movie scenario is not new.Poor folks have been pulled into "war games"for  many millenia.
few have invested in controlling the reasons and parameters of the created conflict.Those pulling the strings make huge amounts of profit.The longer the conflict,the greater the profit for the directors of chaos on all sides.Those fighting in the blood,smoke,and guts rarely have anything to say about the actions or the outcome.Their"job"is to kill sh** and blow things up.Speaks for itself...It sells.

It sells weapons,oil,medical treatment for wounded warriors coming home.Mental and emotional destruction in now fractured minds and spirits .Those left at home are pretty much screwed for any future help after the Warriors are broken.Those Wounded Warriors are to spend the rest of their lives
trying to restore and recover their lost life.

 Incidentally,the Wounded Warrior Foundation is a fantastic organization that is dedicated to helping restore the warriors life as much as possible.The help to soldiers and families are intensive and focused to help those who have been able to return minus a funeral and burial ceremony.Medals optional here.

NO ONE can doubt the courage and will of a warrior going to a created conflict.They are the greatest example of a Human Beings integrity to others.I am only saying that focused in a movement of  peace and creating instead of focused for destruction that anything would be possible and equally profitable.

This world needs to replace the cycle of dark and destructive combat between people to replace it with unified exploration and research.The warlords mongering for death are outnumbered.WE THE PEOPLE can change the world.The sea needs to be settled and farmed.Desserts can be terraformed.
Wars for land and philosophies can stop when people finally decide that they don't need to convert or dominate folks that just don't agree with them.Money is the root of all evil it is said..So how do WE THE PEOPLE finally get sick and tired of the killing of our brightest and strongest youths.

That decision is yours and mine.
If it is true that just ordinary folks are in command of this world
Keep fighting for that right if it is not true,then we need to work to make it a reality.
The world and what you make it is all...There is no fate except what you make.
