The State

Been a while since I made a blog post. Have watched a lot of videos and learned a good deal.


Word of the day a few weeks ago (or so):


in·tran·si·gent adjective

unwilling or refusing to change one's views or to agree about something. "her father had tried persuasion, but she was intransigent"








Iran is set to be the first country to roll out a food rationing scheme based on new biometric IDs. Where vaccine passports failed, food passports will now be eagerly accepted by hungry people...


- > Interesting enough. I don't think the Iranian Government is doing this as something sinister or bigger. It's a "socialist" measure to control inflation (supply and demand) in a time of shortage. Is only within their borders. It makes sense. I could be wrong but I don't think the western powers that that kind of influence on the policies of in-country issues that Iran faces and has because Iran has shown resilience for many many years even in the face of economic sanctions. The video has it twisted - I believe anyway.

- I can't believe I'm actually watching and liking some of Fox News...(never before in my life did I, nor do I really much still but some of their videos etc. now are pretty good - is almost like, the Deep State or "the Kabal" or whoever decided to flip what was sensible from Dem. to Republican and I feel this happens to a degree depending on who holds the White House (Dem or Repub) but never to like, the levels that were at nowdays. The Dems are/have really become the class of the elites and "liberal extremists" seems like anyway...These are weird times...



Fox News host torches Democrats' response to those who disagree with them on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'

- This is us. This is our foreign policy and attitude toward's the world - dollar $$$ imperialism/hegemony, as I'm reading in the book "Super Imperialism". Amazing Coup and system we've (America) has tricked the world into in terms of fair trade on the world level. America doesn't want any powers to threaten it or the use of the dollar ("petro-dollar" - "SWIFT" - The IMF and World Bank). We don't care about "democracy and freedom" or human rights and peace and prosperity for the world (humans and all life on earth) We care about securing U.S. interests.

What's also amazing is technology and technological advancement. - Was looking up information on this 2022 AMD mobile processor/SOC (looking at a laptop on sale). Playing GTA V on a little laptop and using 7 nm tech, super power-efficient and fast/strong. Amazing advancements we've had and been blessed with. Is up to us to use it beneficially and create a just and good world for all. We shouldn't be using tech to propel us towards hell on earth and for killing people. Things are pretty simple but we humans complicate matters so much and need to be consistently humble (just watching an Islamic lecture today, is really good (will be below) for humbleness/humility is the path of how one best behaves themselves in the world as we go about working and interacting, etc. in our lives AND you have to keep at it. That's the way of success.


Here is that lecture today:

- I mean, really, even as a very low end American (Kansas isn't the most prosperous but its not that bad either), I think we still have it pretty good...Really. As long as you stay out of debt for the most part, its, yeah...there is a lot of wealth and people don't like things of theirs to go down in value but...yeah. I'd be okay with some things falling if its for the good of the overall society - but I don't have much wealth. I don't care to steal or stuff like that (from the rich or whoever). It feels good to earn your money halal and by hard work (...but I don't like getting treated poorly and some jobs, are very unsatisfactory - I think they really should pay more - but a lot of those jobs are going to become extinct probably via Robots here in the pretty near future at least here in our 1st world countries...).



- Haven't watched all of this (who has the time...), seems good, the title looks interesting anyway:




Haven't Watched :



- Inflation really does suck. Especially for the poor and the people who have little. Boom and busts cycles - The Wall St. money managers and people with big money and big investments - Sell and the stock market tanks - the economy goes down - the people with all kinds of money now get to buy up all the houses for cheap now - People losing. Workers who actually make the money - make the world go round - drive the rich people, service the rich - make the world go round - and Allah S.W.T. knows all! - All praise and thanks to the almighty for guidance and we'll see what we reap on judgement day. - I feel like all these Chinese people for example, in factories (doing slave like labor - etc.), heck man, they may be getting some great rewards in the hereafter.

From my notebook:


06-02-2022: Trying to purchase a house in Wichita here. Almost going through on submitting an offer on this $85k house. The market's high. Decent properties under 100k go quick.! I wish there wasn't all these 3rd parties. All these different people/companies want to dip their hands into the pot - because people are committing to a 15 or 30 year loan with thousands of dollar "on the line". What's a few more thousand? 2% - 3% - 4%- what can we get away with without there being pushback from the American worker/consumer?


I wish I could interact directly with the seller. Person to person. Straight up business transaction. This is how it should be. The seller is the one with the asset(s) and stands to be in atleast a decent position - selling a house for thousands - so IMO it should be on them to get a home inspection and provide that as part of the marketing of the house along with all the normmal information and pictures. Set an/the asking price and go.


The State (& City if necessary) should provide all the standard paperwork widely available to everyone (the public) to use as templates and to be in compliance with all standards and laws. The buyer or the seller should not have to pay thousands of dollars for a third party to provide a few pieces of paper. There should be minimal interference between the buy and the seller. The responsibilities of a property should be upon the owner of the property! Not covering up defects or anything and passing it on to a buyer. - > blah blah about banks, underwriting, inspections/appraisals - I mean, common sense and protections but geez..."housing as a market"/"commodity" is kind of wrong isn't it? A game for economic gains and businesses? Its not right is it??? - at the same time, its okay, the market will shift and sway and everything else but when HIGH FINANCE and THESE GAMES become the dominate, or more or most dominate over ACTUAL PEOPLE PRODUCING AND DOING REAL WORK - SOMETHING IS REALLY MESSED UP (knowledge and info are good, us people with the internet and everything today, we are very knowledgeable about alot of things if you put in just a bit of time into things - and it/the world and the conditions, you have to be knowledgeable about a lot of things but hey, thats the times we live in, people 300 years ago or 1000 years ago had to know how to do stuff or had different challenges etc.).


- A lot of why America and our economy sucks and is unfair. Espeically to the people who work and produce and keep all this up for the people who have (on a worldwide scale, it probably seems even more ridiculous). - Owners - (of land, of production, of people) should not be rewarded to the utmost (exploitation for gain) just for lending (land, equipment, the means to work/produce). - Is a sick system.


- To say that American "laissez faire" capitalism or unrestricted capitalism results in the most "progress" or is most "progressive" - when we've de-industrialized - shipped our manufacturing etc. overseas - that the "service" industry is the pinnacle and the standard of what it means and is to be a first-world country (yes, education is good, but how many engineers outproduce the good of a high school teacher? for example...)...


Youtube - Video: Fox Business - "White House fighting inflation is like an arsonist shutting out fire" :


- I say screw you Federal Reserve, Fox News, CNN ____, ____, ____ the two-party system. Lot of truth in these videos and at the same time - is just a point, a counter, for one party while bashing the other and these trickle-down economics is a lot of corporate welfare and breaking rules and protections of people for this broken unsustainable system of perpetual growth and demand, boom or bust.



D@W (Democracy at Work) - "Capitalism doesn't care about you":


- "Dressing up a turd" - Rewards appearance over everything else - in the name of profit. The market over humanity. Cheap VOC filled paint. Pedicured chemical soaked lawns.

- Kind-of-like... It is a concern and a thing...Anyway...
