American Kabuki ~ Reflecting...

By American Kabuki

I've been reflecting on the past 4 years.  And perhaps a few shoulda, woulda, coulda-s in all that too. You can't every change anything retroactively.  But you can learn from it. Best you can do really is avoid repeating things that did not work, speak your mind when it needs to be said, hold your tongue when compassion and patience is needed, and know when to laugh.  The tricky part is knowing when to use each tool.  And you only know that by feeling each situation.

My father was an intensely honest man, except with himself. He had one glaring flaw, he had to "appear right".  Might have been a World War II thing. Or just the nature of a cocky fighter pilot. He would change entire storylines of what he original said or promised, so everyone else would look as the one who misheard or misperceived rather than admit his own humanity. He would argue an illogical point till he was blue in the face, to not admit he misperceived or was simply wrong on a topic. He saw any admittance of not being "correct" as a weakness.  I saw it as a flaw.  Its a pernicious form of pride that halts personal growth. Humility is not a vice.

In government is a similar a perverted political need to be right, that has spawned every government compartmentalization known to man. Documents are not classified to protect them from the enemy, the enemy, if he's doing his job, already knows.  Its to keep it from the people.  And this is what has the Hilary supporters so freaking mad, that the truth came out from their very own emails.  How dare they expose our corruption?  Doesn't matter if it was a German hacker or the Russian government (and nobody truly knows - Russians are smart enough to hide their trail completely as is the NSA!). Sometimes you don't have to make shit up to change things, just telling the truth is enough.

How can one be a self-directed, self-actualizing being, if you can't face your own flaws and imperfections that come from being in human form?  Yes everything is perfect, especially our Source given essence,  and even the Human form imperfections contribute to a more perfect experience, but perfection is about change not stasis in ways of being that may not be all that beneficial to your expansion or others.  "To Be or Not To Be" did not include the phrase "manage other people's perceptions" of your being. Truth is, you can't really manage much of anything people might think of you. You can only BE.

What I looked like in 1972

I always admired the jolly and joyful people. I guess you are jolly if fat, and joyful when thin... at least in the way its commonly used. People a bit like Brian Kelly I suppose, if he doesn't inbody joy and fun then nobody does! They always seem glide through tricky situations.  Everyone wants to laugh. Even the bullies of life.

Not that I have that reputation myself, I got into the habit of not smiling much in high school when I had two broken front teeth, which I did not have funds to fix until I was 22.  So I hid my teeth by not smiling.  Face it high school is a harsh place.  Its a habit that haunts me in every "selfie" I attempt to take to this day.  I do smile when other people take photos but never in my own and I know why.

Comey to Trump: The Russians Didn't Influence the Election - Dec 16, 2016

Be First to Know.

Comey to Trump: The Russians Didn’t Influence the Election

In telephone conversations with Donald Trump, FBI Director James Comey assured the president-elect there was no credible evidence that Russia influenced the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election by hacking the Democratic National Committee and the e-mails of John Podesta, the chairman of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

What’s more, Comey told Trump that James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, agreed with this FBI assessment.

The only member of the U.S. intelligence community who was ready to assert that the Russians sanctioned the hacking was John Brennan, the director of the CIA, according to sources who were briefed on Comey’s conversations with Trump.

“And Brennan takes his marching orders from President Obama,” the sources quoted Comey as saying.

In Comey’s view, the leaks to the New York Times and the Washington Post alleging that the Russians tried—and perhaps even succeeded—in tilting the election to Trump were a Democratic Party effort to delegitimize Trump’s victory.

During their phone conversations, Comey informed Trump that the FBI had been alert for the past year to the danger that the Russians would try to cause mischief during the U.S. presidential election.

However, whether the Russians did so remains an open question, Comey said, adding that it was just as likely that the hacking was done by people who had no direct connection to the Russian government.

“It’s also unclear,” the sources pointed out, “why Putin would have preferred dealing with Donald Trump, who has promised a major military buildup, over Hillary Clinton, who would have continued Barack Obama’s cautious policies toward the Kremlin.”

Sincerely,

ED KLEIN

Revisiting NIST Malfeasance (Chris Sarns: ".. In this five-part series, I will expose and disprove NIST's false claims in five critically important areas: A: BURNED-OUT FIRE — The timing of the fire on Floor 12 exposes NIST's false claim that fire led to the collapse. B: MAGICAL THERMAL EXPANSION — NIST used numerous unscientific methods and fraudulent inputs to get the key girder to fail in its computer simulation. C: MISSING SHEAR STUDS — NIST’s claim in its Final Report about the lack of shear studs on the floor support girder between columns 44 and 79 is exposed. D: FICTITIOUS DEBRIS DAMAGE — The fictitious “10-story gouge” claimed early on by NIST in WTC 7’s south face is exposed. E: NON-EXISTENT DIESEL FUEL FIRE — NIST’s fraudulent diesel fuel fire hypothesis is exposed ..")

Fraud Exposed in NIST WTC 7 Reports —

Part 1 of 5

 

Burned-Out Fire

Over the next few weeks, we are republishing five articles that address the alleged fire-induced collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 at 5:20 PM on September 11, 2001. Titled "Fraud Exposed in NIST WTC 7 Reports," these articles are updated versions of a five-part series written by AE911Truth's Chris Sarns and initially published on our legacy website between May and September 2013. This is must-read material for anyone who wants to understand in detail how NIST constructed its elaborate, far-fetched explanation for the destruction of Building 7. Read Part 1 of 5, "Burned-Out Fire," first published on May 8, 2013.
