Yes indeed my fellow flea marketeers, as we approach America’s 250th birthday and ongoing experiment with democracy, free speech, and bodily sovereignty, allow me to remind each and every one of you that we wouldn’t be having this hot debate about, once and for all, finally putting America First (and carpet bagging zionists last) and making it our primary focus, if the inhabitants of our original 13 colony’s were politically apathetic deadbeats concerning England’s over reach and final word over colonial affairs back in 1775, just before the Declaration’s 1776 signing. 

Sayeth Google A.I., “While colonists did vote for their own local colonial assemblies (which passed internal laws and levied local taxes), the British Parliament consistently maintained absolute supremacy over the colonies. Colonists could not vote for Members of Parliament (MPs) in the House of Commons. Therefore, they had no direct say in the laws that governed them or the taxes levied upon them.” In other words, legally, the colonists hands were tied since they could not vote. They had no standing and no agency as far as the British Crown was concerned which makes the pee-ons much easier to manage. 

Fortunately, that had the effect of uniting them uppity, self-reliant colonists in their demand to have the right to vote and have much more control of their affairs, to the point of their willingness to fight and die for that right. The Revolutionary War. Unlike the multitudes of politically apathetic amongst us today, they did not take the right to vote for granted, nor did those who were eventually allowed to vote ever see it as an option. They saw it as their friggin duty. My my my, it’s amazing how much voting attitudes have changed for the worst since then. Hmmm. By the powers that shouldn’t be, social engineering design?

“When we believe in what we do and why we do it, sacrifice feels less like suffering and more like devotion. Devotion, it turns out, is far more durable than discipline.” Sheridan Genrich, Epoch Times

Very recently, and almost immediately after sending a good buddy a link to the story that the newly defeated Kentucky State Rep, Thomas Massie, was taking his lemon loss and making fresh squeezed lemonade out of it by way of filing the paperwork for his intent to run for Congress again in 2028, my friend, to my surprise, responded with, “Fuck ‘em all! I have never voted in my life. I am of the firm belief that my vote counts for absolutely nothing. If you can convince me otherwise, I am open to hearing what you can show/tell me.”

Wow! It’s not often that someone throws down a gauntlet, yet holds the door open for debate. Little did he know that I’d been struggling with the many sides of this hostile apathy issue for years and years. Below is my somewhat edited response.

Show and Tell?! Alright sport. Ya comfy? But first, a disclaimer. You recently mentioned being “freaked out” by matrix synchronicities when immediately after the mention of (a deceased mutual acquaintance), you heard one of his favorite Doors songs beginning to play on your radio. “Yikes! Spooky!!” You might find some of this challenging, a bit woo-woo. But, once increasingly experienced, accepted and embraced as just another part of our very human, “ordinary magic” abilities and skill set essentials… ahhh! Yer just a little bit bit closer to activating Divinity’s blessings, which are very much about formally putting your intensions, your thought forms (in some circles known as “prayers”) into the etheric matrix, releasing them, and managing the ripples and outcome (and one’s ego!!) accordingly. Astral Activism, if you will, goes hand in hand grassroots, down in the trenches activism.

As for voting, it’s like playing on a sports team. You’re gonna win some and yer gonna lose some, and some times some sleazy low lifes’ like the DNC are gonna cheat. It’s sorta like sadistic Lucy consistently pulling the football away just as Charlie Brown thinks he’s gonna kick it into outer space and make the winning field goal. Oops. The sleazy DNC pulling the ball from Bernie. The sadistic DNC pulling the ball from RFK Jr. Perfectly legal cheating at its finest! 

That being said, if ya don’t play, if you don’t put in your best effort despite the cheating, sadistic low lifes’ and instead sit on the sidelines (disengaged) and complain (Ha! kidding yourself you’re disengaged!), you’ll never develop the skill set necessary to be a better player in life and outwitting the low lifes’ and political operatives. Unfortunately, politics and the election manipulations that are part of our current, dysfunctional, American life process, is the nastiest, most vile game in town. Fortunately, if one can engage effectively and maintain a degree of ego detachment (and amusement!!), not taking the outcome, either way, too personally, that could actually make you deadly. For me, it ain’t easy, but I aspire to deadly. 

Yes, you mentioned to me long ago that you have an aversion to “useless voting”. And the powers that shouldn’t be absolutely LOVE it when another American citizen gives up and surrenders their agency!! But by not giving up, it’s like casting a big Fuck Off! vote to the opposition. And it often has the effect of being empowering as that emo energy puts the thought form ripples generated into the matrix where they join with all the other thought form ripples going in the same direction, amplifying the momentum and often eroding the resistance! The growing America First movement vs Zionism, Inc is a perfect example. It’s often simply a matter of time, patience, and perseverance on the terrestrial level as well as the etheric. Just ask any activist across the activist spectrum who uses them both.

The synchronicities encountered along the way appear to be the universes’ way of validating your efforts and the direction you are going in. Our deceased buddy’s fave Doors song suddenly playing on the radio moments after we mention his name. Welcome to the synchronistic, woo-woo, metaphysical part of the show. A “Separate Reality” played on the astral/etheric level, if you will. Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. are great examples of sticking to yer ideals and playing that long game on the physical terrestrial level as well as the spiritual, metaphysical, etheric level. And since the two levels co-exist simultaneously, whether we choose to acknowledge their concurrent, inter-acting existence or not, why not exploit (Ha! Not all exploitation is bad!!) what Divinity has given to us humans to use? The intentional use of emotion with thought forms. It almost seems like it’s our sacred duty to do so. Ordinary Magic, Divinity, use it or lose it.

On a purely statistical basis, if your vote, which is only one vote of the many hundreds of thousands/millions of votes cast for state and fed elections, doesn’t count, well then, technically, neither do any of the votes cast by all the others who do believe their vote can make a bit of a difference. From your point of view, “What a bunch of fkn idiots!!” Yet, somebody won and somebody lost. But, if you’ve never participated in voting for a candidate or a proposition, ie, you don’t know the victory or the frustration first hand, hate to say the obvious, you have no embodied point of reference. It’s all anecdotal, no concrete, solid, personal experience on your end to back up “voting doesn’t count”, only the groupthink opinions of others/your tribe that you’ve gathered and embraced over the years, yes? You’re certainly entitled to your opinion, but, from what you’re telling me, it’s not a “qualified opinion” since you have never actually participated in the voting experience. Where’s your skin in the game?

Had you been voting all along and your selections won at least 50% of the time, I’m pretty sure you’d have a more ambivalent opinion on whether or not your vote counts. Had your voting selections won 70% of the time, you’d have a much more positive opinion about voting. Just ask the well funded corporate elites that our system currently favors and that have a nasty habit of rigging our elections to favor their candidate choices via nifty computer software algorithms, disinformation media campaigns, well paid lobbyists, last minute re-districting and gobs and gobs of money to finance the entire undertaking. Fkrs! It gets me up in my righteous indignation, too. But, have you ever noticed… their candidates Don’t – Always – Win. Sometimes the underfunded underdog does. Again, this all begs the question, just how did you come to your “voting is worthless” conclusion if you’ve never actually selected candidates/issues and voted? Hmmm, the subtleties of media social engineering campaigns by the puppet monsters I mentioned earlier appears to have found its mark!

Over the years, I’ve often been stunned by long time friends, family and acquaintances who I’ve had many thoughtful political chats with telling me they have never voted cuz of similar “voting don’t count” excuses. WTF?!  The most recent one was at last months PCC Flea Market when a neighbor vendor, overhearing a political conversation I was having with a customer, suddenly yelled out for everyone to hear, “Donald Trump is the best president ever!!”. Ya don’t say? Thank you for sharing. A couple minutes after I made a Trump/clown comparison, he came over to me and surprised me with his confession that, despite his pro-Trump outburst, he doesn’t vote and he didn’t vote in the last election (any elections?!) because he felt both Harris and Trump were “both clowns”. Both Clowns?! I wholeheartedly I agreed!

But heed this warning my friend. When I become president/dictator, no social, earned benefits (social security, fire dept, legalized pot/booze, etc) for those who don’t participate in MY representative “democracy”!! “Gotta earn yer keep, boy! No deadbeats allowed!” (Switzerland, Israel, Ujamaa – Nyeyere, Tanzania, etc) That being said, voting “counts for absolutely nothing”; I completely relate to that frustration as I’ve experienced that many many times myself – Prop 37/Labeling GMO’s vs Monsanto disinformation media and money; Bernie vs the uber corrupt, hypocritical DNC (Lucy); RFK Jr vs the uber, vile increasingly corrupt DNC (Lucy); major frustrations that absolutely engaged my ego and pissed me off at the entire, subverted/perverted “democratic”, process always moving the goal posts… or the ball, at the last second! The futility! The corruption! Lucy DNC pulls the democracy football away again!! GRRRR! 

And how about them post election lies and 180 degree pivots by DumbOld Trump ditching his 2015/2016 promise of “America First” only to do a classic switcheroo and putting NutAndYahu’s/Israeli zionist interests first and foremost ahead of all us hard working, U.S. tax paying citizens and his MAGA base?! Looks like a bonafide betrayal and sideswipe of America First to me. No wonder many X-MAGA’s like Nick Fuentes and Marjorie Taylor Greene have gone full blown MAGA Mutiny!! Trump betrayed them, and they’re pissed! Trump betrayed Main Street USA, and I’m pissed!! As the United States prepares to celebrate its 250th year of independence from British foreign rule, the irony is, we are still under hostile, foreign rule… Israel and Zionism, Inc!! All his talk about putting America First and Make America Great Again has been absolute bullshit to sucker his base so that he can do the will of his Zionist/Israeli puppet monsters and go to war with Iran and have We the American Taxpayers pay for it!! SLEAZY!! But it’s absolutely lovely watching the blowback to his blatant betrayal and the zionist/Israel connection to it. Karmic Retribution – America First, Israel EVICTED! It’s inevitable and just a matter of time.

And then there’s the good ‘ol dive into the depths of the nearest outhouse to see which candidate can come up with the most appalling poop slinging imaginable! Many voters have an aversion to these political, public shit shows and it’s for this reason that I suspect many give up on politics and voting. I quit the democratic party in the early 2000’s cuz of a nasty exchange between dem candidates Essel and Kirkorian running for a local city election. Mind you, not a state, not a federal, but a local pig poop, podunk, SFV city OAF-ficials election. Stinky, juvenile, name calling and who’s got the filthiest toilet in town accusations! It was so foul, I said, “Peee-yoooo! I’m here by done with the DemO-crap party!” and went “No Party Preference” even before Bernie did!! I still have the mailed slate flyers as fond memories. Now we have the best poop slinger invented just in time for the Mid-terms and the 2028 election… A.I.!! Hmmm, will A.I. put those vile political operatives out of a job?!

Despite all the election frustration and disgust I’ve experienced, I still continue to vote because the issues and candidates I care about still matter to me. “America First, Israel/zionists OUT!”, is first and foremost with me. Getting Wall St/Private Equity OUT of the single family housing market is my #2 (Tom Steyer!).  Housing affordability is one of the cornerstone essentials for restoring Main Street USA to its former greatness. Personal opinion. Win, lose… IF it’s a fair election, there’s a certain civic satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve got some skin in the game, that at least you participated and put some of your citizen energy into the process, despite the outcome. I believe that vanishing, civic duty “quality” is one of the many things that made America great. And not taking the outcome too personally is also advised, just like with sports, ie, “sportsmanship”. That being said, the caveat – all bets are off when cheating is involved! Perfectly legal (?), last minute re-districting?! In a parallel, Peanuts universe, I like to imagine a pissed off, revenge seeking Charlie Brown turning the tables on sadistic bitch Lucy as he runs up to kick the football, and instead of zeroing in on giving the football a swift kick, he zero’s in on kicking unsuspecting, sadistic Lucy’s head! “Field Goal!! Yay, Charlie Brown!!”

We the fed up, Voting Americans are the ever gullible Charlie Brown’s. The Democratic National Committee/DNC (etc) is the never to be trusted, sleazy, sadistic Lucy. Sometimes, for me, that’s almost enough to want to throw in the towel concerning elections and voting. If only genuine fair play could be restored to the process, voting would be taken much more seriously.

As to “convincing you otherwise”, D, and making the case for voting; bottom line, it all comes down to one’s tolerance level, and one’s ability and desire to deal with all the bullshit that’s part of our democratic, electoral process that is the unfortunate dark side of our American experience in large part due to unelected foreign and domestic lobbyists hi-jacking our government by way of hi-jacking our government bureaucracies. I seem to have a pretty high tolerance for it. And I do have a bit of a problem with unfairness and injustice, which, until resolved, keeps me participating in attempts to undo what the globalist, puppet monster elites have done. A fool’s errand? Maybe. Will they be successful in restoring feudalism on a global scale as they appear to (algorithmically?) intend, where “you will own nothing and Yuval be happy?” Possibly. One thing I can say for certain, it ain’t over till it’s over. 

Most importantly, D, so you choose not to vote cuz it’s pointless. I get it. And maybe I’ve made the argument that it’s not 100% futile. Maybe. Either way, and more importantly, whether or not you vote, what are you doing to make life on this planet just a little bit better for you and yours and maybe even your immediate community? Ahhhh! Much more satisfying than voting! Find what works, minimize complaining, lean in towards the positive and by all means, Carry On my friend!! Spread them ripples of good, etheric intentions and material actions!!

Thomas Paine and Arjuna; terrestrial and astral/etheric; whether it’s America First vs Israel First/Zionism Inc. or Big Pharma vs the sovereign body right’s of the un-vaccinated, it’s got all the makings of a bonafide Holy War that’s been growing in intensity for decades (centuries?!). It’s an ascending cycle, Yuga thing. And like I just said, It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over. Best to leave yer assumptions at the door. Expect nothing, be ready for anything!

yer bud, DD

As far as my friend giving me the requested causes of his “my vote counts for absolutely nothing!”, he was unable to cite anything specific. Wow! All that emo charge and an inability to cite a trigger event?!! A conditioned reflex pandemic brought to you by puppet monster indoctrination? Perhaps.

For those of you still on the voting ambivalent to voting hostile spectrum, as we enter the 2026 midterm elections with the 2028 presidential elections on the horizon, ya might wanna consider this prescient video clip moment (21:30’) from Charlie Kirk regarding the Zionism Inc. push for war with Iran and the abandonment of Trump’s America First promise. RIP, Charlie Kirk.

“I don’t think we should bomb Iran’s nuclear facilities… It’s an act of war against a major country… The American people did not rise up in major numbers because we want war with Iran. That was never part of the (America First) deal… I would say that that would be a catastrophic mistake… We have so many pressing problems at home, and our leaders are internationally obsessed, and they are domestically ignorant”.

The Fog of War… the Fog of Ignorance. Don’t forget to study the issues, study the candidates and what entities are funding them. Are they being funded by Israel First zionists? Vote accordingly, damnit!!

P.S., Don’t Forget. Sharing!
