It got me to thinking: what makes us so effing crazy here? Or at least odd?
I know I hold my shit together when it comes to commenting in the public square of the mainstream and I come here to say what I really think. I'm not crazy, I'm just "creative" and love hyperbole. I also believe in the deep impact of evil.
If I were to totally go the route of what evil and the occult is -- Haiti was an occult sacrifice and the fear, the meme of fear, was meant for everybody else vibrating out of the intensity of the Haitian souls. Chavez for all we know, could be and always could have been an accomplice, an agent. Fear, uncertainty and doubt -- FUD. All large powerful incorporated entities engage in it.
My sci-fi writing brain skews for itself, into the "oh absolutely. Doomsday device all the way!". Prosaic, scientific side, in which I was trained all my life says "natural disasters can happen anytime and anywhere".
Combine the two and I get "Gee. What an utterly absurdly fabulously understandable coinkidink!" This is why I never talk politics and current events with my liberal friends. And certainly not conspiracies! (maybe when I am drunk enough) I make up for it in sports talk, video game talk and gossip about others. I've gotten quite a few friends interested in the NFL mafia shit we've been discussing here inspired in my mind by that long running NFL thread. Groups of conservative, but friendly military dudes I've met around and about, however, are really into my "alter-ego", which just so happens to be my true self.
(just a personal anecdote -- apologies)
No apologies needed 82_28! I have the same circle of friends, one can throw out some of the readings from RI only at the right time, with the right person or group, and usually only when altered consciousness are in play.
