Kafka and the Doll

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

True love never dies. I still love those I have lost as much as I did when they were here, and then some. My love and appreciation for them grows as I age.

Death, grief, despair: these scorns of life are devastating. Death is arguably the most sorrowful time an individual can experience in life. Most unfortunate is when people encounter death within a family, a friendship, or an acquaintance. Sometimes, the loss can hurt so bad that it may seem like the pain and suffering will never go away.

Bill, a dear friend of mine, lost his wife to cancer at age 60 and a brother to murder at age 42. He uses faith, philosophy, family, and friends to mitigate his loss.

I would like to share the following story/essay that he wrote a while ago while thinking of these unfortunate events. It is our hope that this story will help ease the pain and sadness of others who may be struggling with the loss of a loved one.

Here is Bill’s story/essay.

When we saw these tweets from George Papadopoulos, we thought we could help him out with some answers. If you can get them to George, please do.

Has congress figured out why Peter Strzok’s former boss, Bill Priestap, was in London (of all places) the days before Alexander Downer was sent to spy on me and lie about our meeting? If not, time to get a move on it.

Britain is in a political crisis. To push Brexit hard, declassifying the spy role of the David Cameron government on Trump and his team is paramount. Congress can not overlook the vital importance of London as the center of the coup attempt.

Strawberries Have DNA from Eight Different Parents

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

Researchers have discovered that the cultivated garden strawberry’s complex evolutionary history started long ago on opposite sides of the world.Until now, researchers have known little about the evolutionary origins of the cultivated strawberry. While most species, including humans, are diploid with two copies of the genome — one copy from each parent — the strawberry is an octoploid, with eight complete copies of the genome that multiple, distinct parental species contributed.In a new study, researchers explain how the strawberry became an octoploid, and the genetics that determine important fruit quality traits.

It Is All About Control

Posted on by johnbarleycorn12

Do you like to be controlled? As a child it is the parents, and eventually the teachers. The government is controlling the teachers who are controlling you. The government control starts early in our development. The earlier,the better, for the controllers. Young fresh minds are very subject to subliminal control.

Then you graduate from high school and go to work,the military, or college. At work,your boss controls you to some degree, but at least he pays you. You can leave and get another job. Same with college but you pay the college and usually with borrowed money. You are controlled by the professors and administrators as they choose what and how to teach. In the military you are controlled, but at least they pay you and you can go to college or trade school without incurring a mountain of school debt.

When you get out in the real world and start paying taxes, you are controlled by different levels of government at the state, federal, and local. The money they take from your wages is another means of control. It determines how much income you have after taxes, licenses, and fees. That determines where you can afford to live, what you eat, the car you can afford etc.

You are pretty much controlled from cradle to grave.

Nobody I know wants to be in an overly controlled relationship,marriage, or friendship. So why would we want to be overly controlled by government ran by self serving politicians? The more money we give to them, the less power and freedom we have. The federal government is fiscally broke to the tune of 22 trillion dollars and counting. Most state governments are in debt.

The answer to all of this control is smaller and less expensive government. They are looking for new taxes everyday to feed their lust for power and control. The New Green Deal will no doubt include a carbon tax. If you are one of the few Americans who still pay into the system after tax day, grab your wallet when politicians start talking about more government programs or benefits.

Have you ever seen a tax go away?
