Comments on: Roundup https://thenewneo.com/2020/10/21/roundup-13/ A blog about political change, among other things Fri, 23 Oct 2020 12:24:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.1.3 By: Ymarsakar https://thenewneo.com/2020/10/21/roundup-13/#comment-2521066 Fri, 23 Oct 2020 12:24:24 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=100876#comment-2521066 Surprise, it is October.

Also, october is not over.

Snow, it will soon come to pass that people will see Ymar’s revelations and apocalypse as more accurate than their public indoctrination histories.

The cycle of civilization is that previous ancients had better or equivalent tech, and they destroyed themselves. So we see now today with the new Atlantis, USA.

Enjoy the Season Finale. It is darkest before the dawn. I know I will.

I haven’t seen an honest one yet. I know that political ads are going to hedge and exaggerate, etc. but these ads are just extraordinary in their dishonesty. Like Obama talking about Obamacare. Or Benghazi. Or the Iran deal. Or climate change. Or his stimulus. Or Fast and Furious. Or the Dems at the Kavanaugh hearing. Or Russia collusion.

The group seemed to lose their way somewhere in the 80s and I got off the bus. I can see from their Amazon page they have put out a fair number of albums since. Maybe I’ll give some of the new stuff a listen.

It soon turned into one of my all-time favorite albums, and caused me to seek out the albums from which its tracks were selected. What a great body of work.

Along with Jethro Tull, Fairport Convention, and Pentangle. They seemed to be singing from a world where I wanted to live.

Roger Zelazny’s “Amber” books as well.

Alas, most of my group has since split up, fallen out or died too.

oh, the stories i could tell…
the secrets that i know..

so sad i am one of the few left, and so far disconnected i have heard from no one in over 30 years… 🙁

Gwydions music is online and on youtube
Pendderwen also served for a time as a court bard to the West Kingdom of the Society for Creative Anachronism.

Isaacs books are interesting… if your into that stuff..
he was a member of the Covenant of Unitarian Universalist Pagans (CUUPS)

I have long left it behind..

we also loved Tulls Songs from the Wood..

now i am sad… 🙁
none would probably want to know or hear from me
we have all moved on in many ways and paths

I pray The Donald will be able tonight to keep a reasoned, lawyerly approach to the now-obvious but little reported Biden corruption and treason, despite the anti-Trump bias of the “moderator”.

That’s because I find polls almost meaningless these days for forecasting the election.

Thats because, as in the last election, they are being used as a source of influence, NOT a source of measurement/information/status.

It is well known that if people know X about a poll, many of them will change or be influenced to be on the ‘winning’ side… so at some point, polls became a manipulation tool of influence

Want to avert your eyes, M’Lady?
Our scamps, The Ray’s, having whipped
the massive payroll NY Pinstripers in the division series, then the Astros in the ALCS…are now 1 to 1 in the David & Goliath World Series with our (My baseball nutcase wife & baseball lover me.) Vast Payroll former team, The Dodgers.

We voted for Trump before we headed to The Great Smoky Mtns. of western N.Carolina from our 14-yr refuge from the Peoples Bats**t Lefty Republic of Los Angeles to Winter Park, Florida. Aaaahhhhh…. Now back to W.P. and gonna skip the cringe provoking debate tonight and bury my eyes in Baldacci’s, “One Good Deed”. Tomorrow, World Series Game 3.

Please, God, guide our Great Country back from the edge of Left Catastrophy Strangulation a week from Tuesday.

There, Neo, is my aversion to current reality. Highly recommended!!

GO, RAYS!!!!
