Mind Games: The Helplessness of Living in this World

by

I overheard a host on CNN repeating that Ted Cruz had caused the government shutdown.  No, he didn’t.  Harry Reid refused to allow a vote, unless it was his way.  If there couldn’t be a vote, then funding came to an abrupt halt and thus… government shutdown. What part of that don’t people get… or remember?  Or, perhaps in the “entertainment news,” it is merely more of the rewriting of history and convincing people the fake scenario is actually a true one.

How many will believe the fake over the genuine?

Personally, I am quite tired of the mind games and people telling me lies to my face with the insistence that no matter what I know, I am to believe them over my own knowledge, my own witnessing of events and my own remembering.  It’s not like there isn’t video out there that proves my memory goes along with what actually happened.  Yes, it’s true.  We haven’t quite made it to the Orwellian-Land-of-Duh where someone sits in front of a computer screen wiping away actual events from searchable documents and files.   Believe it or not, the truth is still documented for those who care to take a peek or two.

Games on the Hill: The DC Crowd at Play

whistleThe DC Crowd is on the field prancing around, flexing their muscles and making sure their ear-muffs are firmly in place.  Watch out — there it goes — first insult slammed into right field.  Cruz runs wide… back… back… there he goes… he jumps… and it’s a leaping catch right into his corner.

Reid calls it an incomplete and declares no points for Cruz.

Next ball down the center… oh… whoa… look at it go!  Lee jumps up catches it… passes it down the court to Cruz… Cruz does a jump shot… in it goes… a basket in one!  The crowd goes wild!

Reid calls out, “I told you I wasn’t going to let you make that play, so it doesn’t count.”

Volley over the net and no one on the other side to send the ball back.  Instead, they are sitting on the sidelines waiting for the touch down they think they have no hope of stopping.

Reid calls out again, “Time for a break.”

Confused yet at exactly what game the DC Crowd is playing and what the rules actually are?  Most people are.  The rules keep changing depending on the team up-to-bat in would seem.  After all, it appears to be an unquestionable line-drive right down the winning lane and someone in power calls it a “foul ball” and readily dismisses it.  Umpire goes with the power-person and everyone else is standing around going, “Huh?  How did that happen?”

Instant and long term replay doesn’t seem to have much influence over what was versus what is said to have been.  (Kinda Orwellian history in the making.)  So, while the DC Crowd is at play, playing whatever it is they are playing, it’s the other crowd that is being turned away from the stadium gates and left in limbo to pay the price for however these games turn out.

I wonder how much those ear muffs have cost “We the People” thus far?

WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) released the following statement regarding Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s decision to block consideration of the House-passed Continuing Resolution to avoid a government shutdown.

“Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had the opportunity this afternoon to avert a government shutdown. Instead, he chose to kill the House’s bill to keep government open, a deliberate act to move towards a government shutdown. This is no surprise. After the House acted Saturday night, Sen. Reid refused to call the Senate back to service, instead leaving senators at home on vacation while a shutdown loomed. And he has apparently advised the President not to meet with House and Senate leaders of both parties. Harry Reid wants a shutdown, because, sadly, Democrats are putting politics above the needs of the American people. The New York Times explained why: because, as the Democrats believe “now is the time to break the power of Tea Party Republicans.”

“This is exactly the kind of DC-based thinking that makes Americans disdain Washington, DC. Democrats need to listen to the people and start working for the millions of Americans who are losing their jobs, wages, and healthcare benefits because of Obamacare. This is not a debate over a government shutdown; it’s a debate about how Obamacare is plaguing our economy. I will continue working to make sure the government stays open and Americans receive the same benefits as giant corporations and Congress under Obamacare. Until then, I hope the American people will continue to speak out against this disastrous, train wreck of a law and make DC listen.”
