A fake propaganda post on Twitter wherein a supposed “Muslim” is holding a sign asking if Alcohol should be banned in America is worthy of explanation. First the post and signage was AI generated. Second The prohibition Amendment 18 in America was fostered primarily by the anti-saloon League and religious coalitions. It was formally proposed by the U.S. Congress in December 1917 and ratified by the states on January 16, 1919. The Temperance Movement came about in ‘response to drunken husbands beating their wives’. Creating the 18th Amendment to the Constitution prohibiting the imbibing of any alcohol.
Instead, it fueled the Mafia Movement of speakeasies and bootlegging. To which Kennedy Senior became imbedded for the astronomical profits therein. Follow The Money is Multiple Centuries of Gracelessness. Prohibition made many a family wealthy! Creating Criminal Empires! In America – this would seem to be the history that laws create. With over 30,000 laws on the Federal Books – every one invites a criminal enterprise because it creates an illegal means to covet what something that we may not have coveted before it became – illegal.
In other words, every illegal enterprise is built on the fact of its – illegality!
The more illegal – the Greater the profit. The Anti-Saloon League was founded by Howard Hyde Russell , a lawyer and clergyman. The Evangelical Church is and was the predominant source for prohibition based on the ‘drunken husbands’ concept. It is always suggested that background be illuminated; at the time, women were considered property. And women were the mainstay of the evangelical movement. The same women who were then subject to servitude by the evangelical church. And remain so – today.
Perspective:
The Evangelical Church was gaining prominence over the Catholic Church under the auspices that evangelicalism was much less egregious toward women. But in fact, they were more parallel than they admit. It was simply yet another power vacuum of ‘authority’. The evangelical church sold itself on being more down to earth, they didn’t wear special vestments, they allowed marriage of Pastors, and they empowered pop culture music over traditional hymns. But in their view of women – they remained stoic. In their view of Authority – they were adamant!
In essence, the Church destroyed Religion and with it Jesus teachings. Was it purposeful?
Example: In my former evangelical church a failed real estate developer decided to write a thousand page dissertation on the Bible. To educate the masses as to his personal alliteration of all Biblical Passages. Wide eyed – all I could think was the extant of narcissism in such a proclamation endeavor. He would send me excerpts with the caveat that ANY reproduction would be considered plagiarism and he would bring lawsuit. Re: The Bible.
This editorial version of evangelical Christianity is what brought me full circle to Listen. As such, I no longer am anti the belief systems that propagate our world. I think much of the insertions of other religions negatives are contrived to season a disdain, and a disunity. To create superiority. And thus peasantry. What I don’t believe is that this schism came from God or Jesus or Buddha, or any of the sources of good – they came from a source of control, power, subservience and Submission!
What I don’t understand is why it is so IMPERATIVE that everyone believe the exact same thing! MAGA is such a construct. If you are not MAGA you are a Communist is the latest modicum. Nazism was dropped. Idiot, ignorant, demon, evil, were dropped off the cliff and now anyone who is NOT MAGA is a Communist. Hilarious given Communism was created by the 19th century JEWS.
Conversation I had Last Night: IF we accept that there may be multiple Dimensions and or Times overlapping on a constant, IF one were to be able to cross himself into another Dimension, as CERN is advancing, what happens to the person of you who still exists in the other dimension you are entering – and who fills your void?
It made me stop yearning to be in another Dimension without deep understanding of their particulars – as in monsters and chaos.
Who am I talking to who is casually jet-skiing across a lake – I miss the water. I don’t think I have jet-skied in a decade… My teenage years were spent my dad teaching me to sail, to water ski, to ride horses, to be different, to be a woman, to be the Renaissance,
Woman of lore. I have come to understand there are two modus of life operating simultaneously and yet specific. My specific of two – was that I had many, many adventures in my younger years up until my last divorce 2017. I had made this vow when I was twenty something and my father told me that the purpose of life was to work and work and work so that some day you can retire and
enjoy life. And then he died.
I vowed NOT to follow that particular advice.
SO, I have had many adventures. Today, outside of this blog life is calm except when My Three Sons visit!
When I was pregnant with my first boy, I was driving my way cool baby blue Mercedes 2 door across the highway toward El Granada, on the California Coastline – it was glorious. There is something about even being near water that calms the soul and redirects thought.
In its land, California really does have a Magic, it just needs to be FREE.
