I was wounded in Afghanistan while serving as a counterinsurgency officer for the Army, spent 17 months in a warrior transition unit, and was medically retired. I spent several years battling my complex Link Removed ( I was abused as a child on top of combat in Iraq/Afghanistan) and mental disorders. I have noticed as a coping mechanism I started to intellectualize and objectify everything and use less emotion. I passively do this (80% of our actions are driven by our subconscious) and it helps create a abstract framework of stability in my conscious mind which I feel is irrational and I cannot trust due to my illnesses. This is flawed however, because you cannot intellectualize mental illness completely, because allot of your illness is driven by your subconscious and instinctual mechanisms of survival (i.e flight/fight). So all those physiological symptoms I intellectualize cause and effect, but intellectualizing them cannot force my mind to go to the root of the problem and allow myself to shut off hardwired instinctual mechanisms for survival. I just realized my only hope is years of therapy to rewire my brain at the subconscious level.
The point of this post though is a random writing I had about the world we live in. I guess going through what many of us have and how we are treated has left me bitter and angry at the world. To the point where I am apathetic to the world and could care less if it all burns in front of me. I want to share something I wrote and see if any of you feel the same way. I wrote it during the U.S election, so part of the discussion is on it, but reflects a macro perspective on the current situation as well:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe it does matter who wins this election or others in the foreseen future. I hear people suggesting removing politicians, but I assure you any action such as that will have no measurable effect towards any favorable end state for us as the minorities who are not dream walking through reality. It does not matter if Hillary, Trump, and half of Congress were impeached from public service as that would not isolate the root cause of the issue. One thing I found true with physiological warfare methods when I was in Afghanistan is you always have to macro analyze every angle and break every detail down subsequently to find the root cause of the issue, as there are thousands of micro issues. From there you pick your courses of action based on what gives you the highest measure of effectiveness towards achieving your goal. If you hypothetical impeached politicians from service it would still leave the country full of delusional and ignorant Americans. These are the same Americans that are voting for, supporting, and scheming over these candidates. Without these Americans supporting them and paying taxes to support their agendas, the candidates would be powerless. People do not realize that we have had the power all along and a person in power is only as strong as the people who support them, but the people must be awakened to see that. They prey on your instinctual fears for survival and insecurities. Just like Hitler did with Germany, he took a population who was lost in a broken economy without direction and made them believe he could bring them into prosperity with his rhetorical speeches. Most people when threatened with the potential of ruining their delusion of security and comfort, will willingly relinquish any and all rationality as a coping mechanism for their own survival.
The problem is people will never rise collectively as they have been mentally handicapped through social engineering for generations. Just as the young children in Afghanistan who have been radicalized with ideological zealous perspectives of the Quran by corrupt mullahs, it starts with our children as well. Our education system from kindergarten through college has and still is indoctrinating many generations to be at the point to where they can be controlled. We as organisms and humans adapt to survive according to our external environment. People will articulate thoughts and view the world from their perspective (which is reality) based upon their theological, culture, socioeconomic, and educational environmental factors they have been indoctrinated into that has created the building blocks of their minds. These factors drive their subconscious and conscious thought processes for the rest of their lives. Only after educated themselves in adulthood and using critical thinking skills can they objectively question their indoctrination from birth. A constant driving force in our environment is the media and its influence to create a constant presence of manipulation on your conscious and subconscious mind which drives our actions. Our minds are constantly being barraged from all angles on how to feel, think, fabricating our moral baselines, and what courses of actions to take to achieve happiness according to societal standards. Where in this conundrum does it leave room for critical, objective, and creative thinkers?
We are given the illusion of choices in life which are set in tightly fabricated parameters. Anyone who steps outsides these parameters is swiftly punished, ostracized and lacks for a quality of life. We have many meaningless choices, but few important that decide the outcome of our country as common citizens. You have hundreds of flavors of ice cream, movies to watch, games to attend, music to listen to, but only two choices in political parties to decide the fate of your country. The two parties are bought and sold by a private interest that the common citizen can never dream of penetrating for their own aspirations to serve this nation. You cannot penetrate a party if you are not willing to consent to their agenda and let’s not forget you will also need exposure from the privately owned media in order to even become relevant.
We think we have rights, but by definition, a right is something that is inherent from birth and cannot be taken from the individual. So we know that to be true, we can logically say we only have a bill of privileges. Rights are not rights if they can be taken away. They are merely superficial constructs of the human mind to give you the illusion of choice to control and force you to consent into a system with no room to truly develop to your full potential.
You also think you have ownership of your house, land, and assets? Try not paying your taxes and tell me how quickly you much you “own”. If you "own" something, it cannot be taken away from you, right? This sounds more like you are forced to consent into a monetary system of control that facilitates their dynamic labor force to drive industry, achieving clandestine strategic objectives, and collecting revenue from your already taxed wages. Then after already taxing your income they tax the possessions you buy. They literally control you and if you do not consent to their system a quality of life is nearly impossible.
To defeat an ideological disease, which is what we have it starts with the children of our nation, which takes decades to develop. So when I correlate this thought process to the decline of our country over the decades I logically deduct that in my opinion this country was bought, sold, and prepared for these moments we are now facing a long before I was even born. I think we like other democracies rise and fall in cycles. We are in our decline and beyond all the corruption we are also financially crippled by debt which we can never mathematically repay. I don’t think of the future in a sense that I await its arrival and wonder when the day will come that I can say our country is gone out of our grasp. The arrival is now and I decided to keep my sanity by becoming a spectator. There is no course of action I feel I can take which will facilitate the ideological change of an entire nation of citizens, which is where the root cause of the issue stems from.
The bottom line we the people of this nation who pay taxes and empower elected officials to serve us cannot take back the nation to regain our unified power away from the federal government until the people realize they do not currently have any power. We have been divided into so many groups and against each other internally, because it is easy to control micro groups, instead of a unified group. Also once we stop fighting each other, then we start to become more awakened and realizing our issues correlate more towards who is governing us, rather than purely from dynamics among each other. As long as citizens of this country remain delusional that they have a stake in the outcome due to the illusion of freedoms and choices we are given to control us currently, this country will not progress in the right direction.
