am i the only one here tonight

 Shakin' my head and thinkin' somethin' ain't right

Is it just me? Am I losin' my mind?

Am I standin' on the edge of the end of time?

Am I the only one? Tell me I'm not

Who thinks they're takin' all the good we got

And turnin' it bad, hell, I'll be damned

I think I'm turnin' into my old man  ( Aaron Lewis)

Great song by Aaron Lewis, thanks to Steve Mac for sharing with me......give it a listen, good stuff.

observations from the Bean Post window:

just some thoughts and observations and possible conspiracy theories.........outrageous? Yes, but less far fethced with each passing day.

The hellbent attempt to bankrupt this country.

i refuse to believe that this administration is that stupid or incompetent, there has to be a reason or long term objective behind their actions.......inflation is raging, the national debt is soaring , for two years people were paid to stay home, employers can't find workers and yet the Government still wants to have another round of stimulus checks.....still wants to pass the build back better plan and still publicly states that they can spend their way out of inflation ......why ?

Socialism doesn't happen overnight.....a free capitalist society like ours will not go to sleep on monday an independent nation and wake up Tuesday a socialist dictatorship........change like that takes time and you need the masses on your side......so you make everyday life as miserable, hopeless and unaffordable as possible.....inflation takes your paycheck and the only way you survive is with the financial crumbs the GOVT gives you every month...a person will never bite the hand that feeds them.....if the demonrats keep handing out small checks ( not life changing sums, just enough to stay afloat) the masses become dependent on that form of Govt and will be reluctant to vote them out.......you need villains......Big Oil is the problem today, you ban fracking, ban pipelines, give away our oil independence, and when gas prices inevitably go through the roof , well you convince the average Joe that these BIG Corporations are swimming in profits and gouging the American public.....  and soon after we have rate hikes you will hear Bernie and AOC blame the banks for your suffering ( never mind that the FED Reserve dictates the rates and while we were at 0% interest for years the big Govt encouraged average Joe's to borrow more....borrow $$ for college (don't let someone crush your dreams) , Borrow $$ for that luxury gas guzzling  SUV ( you deserve it), take a big mortage and buy that home, go on vacation and put it on Visa ......and when the rates rise and the avg guy can't keep up with his bills .....well....get the pitchforks and go after the Banks that gave you the dam credit card. (Remember occupy Wall Street? that was when the Professors with tenure convinced the students that they should be mad at the banks that loaned them the $$ for tuition and NOT the Institutions that were charging 40K a year for room and board and classes taught by Teacher's assistants). And the Govt ? well we are so far in national debt that we have to start cutting welfare, unemployment and everything else because we are bankrupt too, just like you

So now you have a broke, desperate, miserable public and they are conditioned to believe it's the dam banks and big oil companies that are the problem. And a federal Govt that claims bankruptcy too and can no longer give you any monthly stipends.......and so they suggest that the Federal Govt Nationalize those two industries for the GOOD of the Nation...and once they are nationalized, we will cap gasoline at $2 a gallon and forgive most of your credit card debt ........gee ? where do i sign up ? sounds good to me.

And once the Government takes control with your blessing they can basically call any shot they want, and you will comply...what choice do you have?  who's next?  Nationalize Medicine? already in the works.....take over the media? yeah well they are 90% there.......and just like that we are Venezuela ...adios amigos

Mask mandates in Schools.

Why?  despite all the evidence to the contrary; are the teachers Union and the demonrats going full court press on keeping school kids in masks? As every other bad govt decision goes to the sidelines, this one digs in. Why are they willing to fall on their swords for masks that don't work? and only in schools? (nobody at the super bowl wore a mask and nobody cared) Because they are grooming our children to be submissive and just do what the government tells them...no matter how stupid..the kids i grew up with challenged authority at every step of the way....we broke every fucking rule there was....we pushed back for the sake of pushing back (even if we didn't really care about the rule)...if a teacher said A , we said B... we drank beer and smoked pot in the fuckin schoolyard in broad daylight during the week and we didn't give a shit about the punishments..i didn't really develop a respect for law enforcement until the guys i grew up with became Cops......but this new generation of people who are conditioned accept what they are told....like sheep......don't question or push back, they just go with the flow and rat out their classmates if they have a birthday party without masks.

just some food for thought on a friday....again...nobody could be as stupid and incompetent as Brandon....so there must be something else going on.

Am I the only one not brainwashed?
