A Case of Cognitive Dissonance?

'cognitive dissonance - n. Psychol, an uncomfortable mental state resulting from conflicting cognitions, usually resolved by changing some of the cognitions.'

I have been uncomfortable recently, alright; as I have expounded on in these here blogs, with what is going on in my home country. And it is getting piled higher and deeper. For example, this business of the current occupier of the office of the presidency of the U.S. being given the authorization, by Congress, not only to 'disappear' Enemies of the State, without charge or trial, including from the homeland - now a 'legally' defined battlefield (of the phony War on Terror, that set this whole scam up, of the hijacking of the American state by megalomaniacal criminals), and so the 'disappearing' of Posse Comitatus, which kept the military out of domestic affairs for well over a century; until now - but earlier, given the authorization by that same body of misfits to outright assassinate similar Enemies of the State - whoever they might be, since the Congress left that little matter up to the executive's discretion. (As Judge Napolitano - a good man; whom we need more of - said regarding this latter state of affairs: "If the president can kill whoever he wants, then he's not a president anymore; he's a king." Just so.) And he is a usurper in the office to boot; which I have also been commenting on during this recent time period, of the passage of this 'National Defense' legislation that is bringing fascism closer and closer to fruition in America. My America! You blankety blanks...anyway; my recent comments to that aspect of this story; as carried on the Obamaballotchallenge site:

Obama State Ballot Challenge - ‘New Hampshire Legislators To Hold Press Conference Tuesday 3/1’ 2/1

[another poster's comment first]
I want them to investigate if there was a Conspiracy to cover-up both Obama and McCain as Ineligible to be president by both Democrats and Republican elites because they found out that McCain was in question AFTER the Senate approved him and that kept Obama free from scrutiny because the democrats had this Questionable research on McCain and told him they would pitch it to the Public and wipe out the republican party if they said anything about Obama not being eligible.

This is how I think the Democrats were able to bribe the Republicans to stay shut up in 2008 and the last 2 1/2 years about Obama needing to prove eligibility to be Natural Born, its been a Bribe and a Cover-up from when this Law review was done in July of 2008 and If you remember McCain Lost his Power and force to challenge Obama about this time in the 2008 campaign.
This link is the 2008 claim of McCain’s ineligibility under Federal Constitutional law ;

This is why Obama is going to take up the Immigration Reform debate NOW and drive this all the way to 2012 because He needs Amnesty as Bad as the Illegals that will VOTE for him do !!!!

What I see going on is a Democratic party Defining this Natural Born Claim and they are doing under the guise of a 1608 ENGLAND COMMON Law instead of Constitutional law , through the CALVIN RULE , which basically says that you only need ONE parent a Citizen at the time of BIRTH to be Natural Born in this 1868 14th Amendment ruling ,

• This CNN article is just one person’s opinion. Mario Apuzzo, Esq,, who has researched this matter extensively, has another, more definitive perspective on the matter. The matter requires being dealt with in a court of law, to be taken ultimately to the highest court in the land. The judicial branch of government is stonewalling, and not allowing justice to be served.

• Justice denied is injustice. It is time for The People to act.

• All power to these State legislators in New Hampshire. They need to be joined by other such elected patriots in other states, for The People to take the country back from its usurpation.

• If the political parties have to declare to State Secretaries on the eligibility of their candidates to run for various offices, then those states have standing in the matter, if there is a question raised as to the accuracy and honesty of such declarations. That question has been raised in the matter of the eligibility of Barack H Obama, and the devious filings by Nancy Pelosi for her Party, which are part of the public record.

• The People need to move on this matter, with or without the judicial branch of government doing its duty. If it chooses to avoid its duty, after all avenues for a redress of this grievance are exhausted by The People, then it is their right, nay their duty, to act on their own recognizance. And tempus fugit.

• An excellent link, George. Thanks. Highly recommended.

• It’s the smoking gun: they all KNEW that BHO was ineligible. So they tried an end-around, hoping the public was too asleep to notice, and counting on their control of the MSM to make it stick. Have they gotten away with it??

• This is a crime of major proportions. It must not stand. Or the rule of law is completely finished in the country, and it will become the plaything of despots. Has become. Unless The People set things to right in the Republic. Unfortunately, the jury is not even out on that one – it doesn’t realize that it – ie, The People – has been called on to adjudicate on the matter. Thanks for sounding that wakeup call, George.

(1) The Article II Superpac.com site referred to above is indeed an excellent one, which not only outlines the case against Obama's eligibility well from the historical-legal angle, but - as I alluded to in my response - lists the eight attempts in recent years by persons on both sides of the political aisle to change the Constitution to allow him - or any Chosen One - to run for that office who would otherwise be ineligible, as he was, and is. And to add insult to injury, both Hillary and BHO himself co-sponsored one such attempt to change the law. (Which all failed miserably, corralling only a very few co-sponsors to each attempt.) So, as I said: They all knew.. And know, to this day, that they allowed a usurper into the highest office in the land. An office that deserves far better than these criminals are doing to it.

(2) My main point in all this: The rule of law is being trashed as we speak. 'The Constitution stands in the way of us accomplishing our purposes? Well, then, we'll just ignore it. Snicker snicker. And we'll get away with it because we control the MSM. Snicker snicker. And our tools in Congress; snicker snicker. Who know what's good for them; and what's not. Snicker snicker.' Wake up, Citizen: Arbitrary law is the law of tyrants, who declare - as did Hitler: "I am the law." And the Republicans are complicit in this crime against the American people. Nobody comes out of this audacious heist smelling any ways decent, except the likes of Judge Napolitano, and Ron Paul, who both are speaking truth to power - and are not afraid to. Because they have the truth on their side.

So: the monstrosity of what is going on in America at this time. And the cognitive dissonance aspect?? Also involving the NaturalNews site of Mike Adams, who today put up an article bringing a whole 'nother side to the things going on In Our Time. His article was titled 'NaturalNews Declares 2012 the Year of Consciousness', wherein he gave a magnificent exposition on the positive side of things possible at this very same time, to do with the raising of consciousness. My response:


"stan 3/1

A point: Once 'we' get to this consciousness-level state of mind, we also don't need to live within the profit motive system, and can do away with 'money' - with interest-bearing money. For the only motive that people will need to share goods and services with one another, and give of our best in the process, is the highest motive there is, or could ever be: to do so out of gratitude to our Creator for life with meaning. Out of, in a word: Love.

That 'meaning' implied by the fact - with plenty of evidence in for it now - of reincarnation; whereby 'we' are One Another - over and over; now a prince, now a pauper; now a male, now a female; now one race or religion or nationality, now another; experiencing momentary individuation, for the lessons to be learned thereby - but, looking more closely at that phenomenon, realizing that in actual fact We are One. Experiencing Itself. And so, with that realization comes a New Age; an age of - yes indeed - higher consciousness. An age wherein we can move beyond the limitations and distortions of the profit-motive system, and share more freely with one another. For we ARE 'one another'. Doing it to, and for, ourselves.

You're absolutely right, Mike. It's time. And 2012 is the key to unlock that door within, and between, our selves."


(And thus, my comment, to one of the key OWS ‘thinkers’ a while back, as a guiding 'motto': ‘As you do unto others, so do you do unto yourself.’)


How do I live with this dichotomy?

By recognizing it for what it is. Which includes the fact that it is

the dark before the dawn. When things are at their darkest.

So, hang in there, folks.

But don't just sit there.

Do something.

You'll be glad you did, about all this. And will regret it if you didn't. When you had the chance to be the change you would wish to see in the world. And opted to stay out of the process, because it looked, well, kind of muddy.

Which puts me in mind of a calendar drawing I saw many years ago: a full-page drawing of the Exodus, with the Israelites crossing the Red Sea, where the waters were being held back in the background in a huge wave, and the Pharoah's army was seen approaching in hot pursuit on horseback. Two of the Israelites, who have yet to cross, are in the foreground, looking on as their compatriots are crossing the seabed below them; with one of the guys looking over at his buddy, saying the caption: "Whaddaya mean, 'It's a bit muddy'?"

Yes, it's a bit muddy, folks. But nobody promised us a rose garden, or a stroll in the park, or a piece of cake.

If you thought this 'life' business was going to be easy, you have probably had that attitude bred out of you by now. So let's look clearly at what's needed. And get to work.

We have an Age to bring in.

And it's not another Dark Age.

Been there. Done that.

It's time for a change, all right.

A REAL Change.

One you can take to the bank.

And only so to speak...
