The Tyranny Of Time

The Tyranny Of Time

The clock is a useful social tool, but it is also deeply political. It benefits some, marginalizes others and blinds us from a true understanding of our own bodies and the world around us.

Marcos Guinoza for Noema Magazine   By Joe Zadeh  June 3, 2021

We discipline our lives by the time on the clock. Our working lives and wages are determined by it, and often our “free time” is rigidly managed by it too. Broadly speaking, even our bodily functions are regulated by the clock: We usually eat our meals at appropriate clock times as opposed to whenever we are hungry, go to sleep at appropriate clock times as opposed to whenever we are tired and attribute more significance to the arresting tones of a clock alarm than the apparent rising of the sun at the center of our solar system.

The fact that there is a strange shame in eating lunch before noon is a testament to the ways in which we have internalized the logic of the clock. We are “time binding” animals, as the American economist and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin put it in his 1987 book, “Time Wars.” “All of our perceptions of self and world are mediated by the way we imagine, explain, use and implement time.”

 “The clock does not measure time; it produces it.”

On a damp and cloudy afternoon on February 15, 1894, a man walked through Greenwich Park in East London. His name was Martial Bourdin — French, 26 years of age, with slicked-back dark hair and a mustache. He wandered up the zigzagged path that led to the Royal Observatory, which just 10 years earlier had been established as the symbolic and scientific center of globally standardized clock time — Greenwich Mean Time — as well as the British Empire. In his left hand, Bourdin carried a bomb: a brown paper bag containing a metal case full of explosives. As he got closer to his target, he primed it with a bottle of sulfuric acid. But then, as he stood facing the Observatory, it exploded in his hands.

The detonation was sharp enough to get the attention of two workers inside. Rushing out, they saw a park warden and some schoolboys running towards a crouched figure on the ground. Bourdin was moaning and screaming, his legs were shattered, one arm was blown off and there was a hole in his stomach. He said nothing about his identity or his motives as he was carried to a nearby hospital, where he died 30 minutes later.

Nobody knows for sure what Bourdin was trying to do that day. An investigation showed that he was closely linked to anarchist groups. Numerous theories circulated: that he was testing the bomb in the park for a future attack on a public place or was delivering it to someone else.

But because he had primed the device and was walking the zigzagged path, many people — including the Home Office explosives expert, Vivian Dering Majendie, and the novelist Joseph Conrad, who loosely based his book “The Secret Agent” on the event — suspected that Bourdin had wanted to attack the Observatory.

Bourdin, so the story goes, was trying to bomb clock time, as a symbolic revolutionary act or under a naive pretense that it may actually disrupt the global measurement of time. He wasn’t the only one to attack clocks during this period: In Paris, rebels simultaneously destroyed public clocks across the city, and in Bombay, the famous Crawford Market clock was shattered with gunfire by protesters.

Around the world, people were angry about time.

A Third Of Americans Won’t Celebrate Mother’s Day This Year: Survey

A Third Of Americans Won’t Celebrate Mother’s Day This Year

Korin Miller   Fri, May 7, 2021

Each year, families across the country celebrate Mother’s Day on the second Sunday in May. And while the day usually inspires people to buy flowers or jewelry and pamper the moms in their lives, not everyone is feeling festive this year, apparently.

According to a new Yahoo and YouGov poll of 1,555 people, 30 percent each of men and women aren’t planning to celebrate Mother’s Day at all in 2021. Meanwhile, slightly more men than women plan to do something — 60 percent of men said they’ll definitely celebrate the holiday, compared to 57 percent of women. A higher number of women also said they weren’t sure if they were going to do something for the holiday—13 percent, as opposed to 10 percent of men.

Income played a role, with the likelihood of celebrating the holiday increasing the more money a household makes. Just 51 percent of people with incomes under $50,000 plan to celebrate the day, for example, compared to 72 percent of those that make $100,000 or more.

But people were also divided on the importance of celebrating the day. Around 40 percent of men and women said it’s “very important” to celebrate Mother’s Day, compared to 29 percent of men and 28 percent of women who said it’s "not very important" or "not important at all."

What’s going on here?

Stress from the pandemic is likely a factor, Stephanie Marcello, chief psychologist of University Behavioral Health Care at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, tells Yahoo Life. Stress levels have skyrocketed in the country since the pandemic began and, “for many people, holidays can be a time of stress rather than joy,” Marcello says. That could lead more people to decide they just don’t want to deal with Mother’s Day this year, she says.

Adds Dr. Gail Saltz, associate professor of psychiatry at the NY Presbyterian Hospital Weill-Cornell School of medicine and host of the “How Can I Help?" podcast from iHeartRadio, "This year, in particular, many more people are struggling with depression, anxiety, fatigue and stress and they may not feel like they have the energy to plan something and to put energy into something." Plus, she adds, family dynamics can be complicated.

"Not everyone has a good relationship with their mother, or even is in contact with their mother," Saltz points out. "Mother-child relationships are complex, often filled with ambivalence and can go through periods of tremendous rockiness. There may be years, especially a tough year like this past one, when a mother and child aren’t feeling in sync."

The Origin of Mother’s Day: 5 Surprising Facts About the Holiday

Mother’s Day Origin

The Origin of Mother’s Day: 5 Surprising Facts About the Holiday

Good Housekeeping        April 13, 2020

These days, Mother's Day is all about greeting cards and flowers — but the history is more complex than you might know.

The Origin of Mother’s Day: 5 Surprising Facts About the Holiday

For many people, Mother’s Day is simply a joyous occasion each May, a time to spend with our children and our mothers — marked by flowers, cards, and maybe some mimosas over brunch. So you might be surprised to learn that its cheerful greeting card messages belie a much darker, more complicated origin story. In fact, Mother’s Day traces its roots back to wartime traumas, and includes plenty of controversy.

Here are five surprising facts you may not have known about Mother’s Day and its complex origins.

1) Mother’s Day officially began as a tribute to one woman.

Anna Reeves Jarvis is most often credited with founding Mother’s Day. After her mother Ann (pictured here) died on May 9, 1905, Jarvis set out to create a day that would honor her and moms as a group.

 She began the movement in West Virginia, which prides itself on hosting the first official Mother's Day celebration three years later at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church, according to CNN. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson signed a bill recognizing Jarvis' idea as a national holiday to be celebrated each second Sunday in May.

2) But before that, Mother’s Day started as an anti-war movement.

Although Jarvis is widely credited as the holiday’s founder, others had floated the idea earlier — with a different agenda in mind, according to National Geographic. The poet and author Julia Ward Howe (pictured here) had aimed to promote a Mothers’ Peace Day decades before.

For her and the antiwar activists who agreed with her position — including Jarvis’ own mother — the idea of Mother’s Day should spread unity across the globe in the wake of so much trauma following the Civil War in America and Franco-Prussian War in Europe.

“Howe called for women to gather once a year in parlors, churches, or social halls, to listen to sermons, present essays, sing hymns or pray if they wished — all in the name of promoting peace,” West Virginia Wesleyan College historian Katharine Antolini noted, as cited by National Geographic.

These early attempts to create a cohesive peace-focused Mother’s Day eventually receded when the other concept took hold.

3) Mother’s Day is a $25 billion commercial holiday.

These days, Mother’s Day is a $25 billion holiday in America, with those who celebrate spending about $200 on mom, according to National Retail Federation data published in 2019.

More people buy flowers for Mother’s Day than any other time of year except during the Christmas and Hanukkah season. Gift givers spend more than $5 billion on jewelry alone, and nearly another $5 billion on that special outing. Then there’s $843 million on cards, and $2.6 billion each on flowers and gift certificates, according to the data.

Where Have All These Phrases Gone? Long time Passing

Old Expressions

There are some old expressions that have become obsolete because of the inexorable march of technology. These phrases included "Dont touch that dial," "Carbon copy," "You sound like a broken record" and "Hung out to dry."

Back in the olden days we had a lot of moxie. We’d put on our best bib and tucker just to straighten up and fly right.

Hubba-hubba! We’d cut a rug in some juke joint and then go necking and petting and smooching and spooning and billing and cooing and pitching woo in hot rods and jalopies in some passion pit or lovers lane.

Heavens to Betsy! Gee whillikers! Jumpin Jehoshaphat! Holy moley! We were in like Flynn and living the life of Riley, and even a regular guy couldn’t accuse us of being a knucklehead, a nincompoop or a pill. Not for all the tea in China !

Back in the olden days, life used to be swell, but when’s the last time anything was swell?

Swell has gone the way of beehives, pageboys and the D.A.; of spats, knickers, fedoras, poodle skirts, saddle shoes and pedal pushers. Oh, my aching back. Kilroy was here, but he isn’t anymore.

Like Washington Irving’s Rip Van Winkle and Kurt Vonnegut’s Billy Pilgrim, we have become unstuck in time. We wake up from what surely has been just a short nap, and before we can say, I’ll be a monkeys uncle! or This is a fine kettle of fish!

We discover that the words we grew up with, the words that seemed omnipresent as oxygen, have vanished with scarcely a notice from our tongues and our pens and our keyboards.

Poof, poof, poof go the words of our youth, the words we’ve left behind. We blink, and they’re gone, evanesced from the landscape and word scape of our perception, like Mickey Mouse wristwatches, hula hoops, skate keys, candy cigarettes, little wax bottles of colored sugar water and an organ  grinders monkey.

Where have all those phrases gone? Long time passing. Pshaw.

The milkman did it. Think about all those starving kids in China. Bigger than a bread
box. Banned in Boston . The very idea! It’s your nickel. Dont forget to pull the chain. Knee high to a grasshopper. Turn-of-the-century. Iron curtain. Domino theory. Fail safe. Civil defense. Fiddlesticks!

You look like the wreck of the Hesperus. Cooties. Going like sixty. I’ll see you in
the funny papers. Don’t take any wooden nickels. Heavens to Murgatroyd! And
awa-a-ay we go (not to mention humunah, humunah, humunah!)

Oh, my stars and garters! It turns out there are more of these lost words
and expressions than Carter had liver pills.  This can be disturbing stuff,

This winking out of the words of our youth, these words that lodge in our
hearts deep core. But just as one never steps into the same river twice,
one cannot step into the same language twice. Even as one enters, words are
swept downstream into the past, forever making a different river.

We, of a certain age, have been blessed to live in changeful times. For a
child, each new word is like a shiny toy, a toy that has no age.

We at the other end of the chronological arc have the advantage of remembering there are words that once did not exist and there were words that once strutted their hour upon the earthly stage and now are heard no more, except in our collective memory.

It’s one of the greatest advantages of aging. We can have our cake and eat it, too.

See ya later, alligator!   

Thoughts From DJ: "Good News VS: Bad News" 4-26-2021

DJ:   DID YOU KNOW?

Why is it, as the public, we are only served up bad news? Is it as simple as bad news is more interesting than good news as far as the human psyche goes or is there some devious plot of social manipulation going on? Is it our nature or is it manmade?

The negative is so programed into the public’s mind it has become near impossible anymore to discern truth and when you do discover a truth, what do you do with it? When you compare the amount of good news but in front of the public to the amount of bad news it overwhelmingly favors the bad.

So I Googled “Good News”. To my surprise there is actually a Good News Network. (https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/).

In fact almost all of the major networks have online sites that only show and promote inspirational and good news.

I would highly recommend instead of being captured by the negative narratives, spit out in what we would call the “Standard News Outlets and Networks “, that you search out the good news. It’s there you just have to make an effort to find it.

My common sense tells me it can’t be good for the human element to constantly be absorbing all this negative energy. One doesn’t need to do all the research and analytics to figure it out.

There are numerous studies that have scientifically proven the effect negative energy has on the human element. I would suggest if you have the option of drinking dirty water or clean water, you pick the clean water.

If you have the option of absorbing good information of bad information, you choose the good.

If you have the option of doing a good deed or a bad deed, you choose the good deed. You will notice an instant effect on how your life will change for the positive.

Why is it on a clear and bright day you can’t see a dark spot anywhere but on a dark night you can see a small light miles away? I can’t help but feel there is a reason why our physical bodies work that way. Call it a built-in self-survival mechanism.

I would list all the nasty shit going in the world to make the point but whether it is fact or conspiracy theory, just thinking that these things exist is in itself damaging to the soul.

The moral of the story is what you feed your body so goes your health, mentally and physically.

The Lottery of Birth — All the Things You Don’t Control in Life

The Lottery of Birth — All the Things You Don’t Control in Life

By Kyle Kowalski

The reality of the lottery of birth (also known as the lottery of life, birth lottery, and/or life lottery) is something we seem to forget over and over again.

We like to think that we are in control of our lives. That we are responsible for our successes and failures. That we can and should take credit or blame. But, as you’ll quickly see here, life isn’t that simple. In fact, there may be far more out of our control than what is actually in our control.  Buckle up! Your ego is about to take a humbling ride.

“Birth is life’s first lottery ticket.” — Jeffrey Archer

The Lottery of Birth — All the Things You Don’t Control in Life

What is the Lottery of Birth?

Start by watching this short TED Talk by Raoul Martinez. It should be required viewing for all humanity. I also watched Raoul’s full documentary Creating Freedom: The Lottery of Birth, but I actually think his TED Talk is more impactful.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAYBgR8zlu0

Let’s recap what Raoul is telling us:

“We do not choose to exist.”

“As newborns, we’re not responsible for our own natures, we’re endowed with genes that we didn’t ask for.”

“We’re faced with a world that we played no part in creating.”

“We do not choose what environment we grow up in.”

“We do not choose our identity, we inherit it.”

“Our starting point in life is one of complete dependence on forces—genetic and environmental—that we don’t control. And these forces can shape us into many things … The people we become, the lives that we lead, the beliefs and values that we learn to hold, owe much to the lottery of our birth.”

Real Life Examples of the Lottery of Birth

What ticket did you get in the lottery of life? This is an incredibly powerful TED Talk by Christina Rickardsson:

"The Spuare Peg, The Round Hole and the Lathe" By Ron Giles

From Recaps Archives

"The Square Peg, the Round Hole and the Lathe" by Ron Giles - 12.24.20 

Entry Submitted by Ron Giles at 2:28 PM EST on December 24, 2020

You can’t fit a square wooden peg in a round hole, unless…., you knock off the edges with a lathe. You can knock off the edges of the square peg with your lathe tools and make it fit precisely. It is done all the time. To do it with people is a bit harder.

It’s not so easy when the square peg is the, fully alive, Cabal debt-based, financial system of greedy bankers. The only good thing about this OLD system lays in the core functionality that supports its use for financial transactions within the economy.

If it weren’t for the edges it might still work. But it is going away as obsolete. We have a new Master Wood Worker and a perfect lathe that is a Miracle Worker of a tool. The QFS.

The whole Human Economic system needs to be able to process the transfer of funds from a buyer to a seller in a way that is unencumbered by weighty commodities.

The medium of exchange used must be something that has a perceived universal value for all parties. The exchange of acceptable funds precedes the transfer of ownership and possession of the object of the transaction.

In the old days, the simple barter system was cumbersome on a large scale. So, warehouses or clearing-houses were built to hold the commodities. A "Script" was issued for the value of the commodity left in the clearing warehouse. The script was exchanged in the market place and at the end of the day, all merchants would turn in the script and collect the goods they purchased with the script.

On a local basis, it worked well until that too became cumbersome. This left an opening for corruption to take place, and so it did. The warehouseman realized his monopoly and began to raise his fees. Without competition, he charged what he wanted and this began the manipulation that gave advantages to certain elite land-owners who used their power to gain from others who did the work. They became wealthy and more greedy.

Thus the Banksters were borne who have played society ever since with their Pyramid economic system that works for the few at the cost of the many.

The greedy opportunistic types saw a profit beyond warehousing and the banking system was borne. It would have worked well but dishonesty became the lazy man’s way to make money. That is why the manipulation of "money" and "money instruments" became the lazy man's way of making money. JUST SEE WHAT THE BANKSTERS HAVE DONE TO OUR MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. They have truly made it filthy lucre.

The round core at the center of the banking industry is still there but, being alive, it started to grow edges that made it hard to move. The roundness gave way to edges that made the peg hard to use over time. With roundness, this core could move and the economy could roll on. But the greedy grew edges that eventually slowed down the economic machine and encumbered economic growth.

The peg became squared off. To grow the economy, the greedy edges had to be accommodated and the whole economic system morphed into the debt-based financial system that stands at the precipice of collapsing the entire world economic system today. When you mess with the medium of exchange, you eventually destroy the economy.

For the square peg to fit back into the round hole, the greedy edges have to be honed off, sanded, and inserted back into place. Does there exist such a large lathe that could be used for this purpose?

 Or should we as a species create something new, a new financial system that eliminates the possibility of ever being taken over by the greedy, dishonest, unethical, system that supports the small 1% of society? A medium of exchange was never meant to be a source of income. We are going back to real money as a medium of exchange that can never be manipulated again. The QFS stands as a Vanguard for society.

The Quantum Financial System (QFS), has a built-in security system that works for 100% of the people. This is one of many, HOLES, in society that are being created to accommodate a whole new structure for society. The old square pegs won’t work anymore. The old overseers, controllers, are fighting to the death to stop us from abandoning their ship but even the cockroaches are leaving. That old ship of foolish greedy S.O.B (short on brains) lowlifes, has so many holes in it, it cannot stay afloat very much longer.

But the new QFS is sailing right next to the old ship of fools and is already taking on the good, righteous survivors and has room for all who want to survive by doing their work in harmony with correct principles of Societal living.

The problem of who gets to stay has already been solved by the gatekeeper who will not allow the cockroaches to come aboard. The square pegs must be stripped of their edges on an individual basis. If the core has not rotted and is still redeemable they must subject themselves to the individual lathe that will hone down the edges, before they will be welcomed on-board the QFS Ship-of-Glory.

There are a lot of small lathes to use on an individual basis but not one large enough to include the Cabal Debt Financial System into the QFS. That’s a Square-Peg-Tooooooo Big, it’s terminal, and the core is rotting and dying.

If you want to come on board the QFS Ship-of-Glory your baggage (edges) will be thoroughly searched, to see if your presence will infect the perfection of the love that is to be found there. The Cabal are not the only ones that have developed, “Edges.” There exists the slave mentality that works against society. This survival thinking has to change.

Doing your own lathe work now, while you have time, will ensure your inclusion as the Humane, peaceful society is created. If not, sorry, we will not let personal pollution in our new society. Take a bath, clean yourself up and your thinking, and learn to come from love in your dealings with others.

As the Societal standard of living with one another raises, those who don't belong will be naturally rejected on a personal basis. Who would want to live with or associate with a filthy person, especially one who is filthy in spirit? Yuck!

Things are changing the way we live. The abundance mentality will prevail as the old Cabal conditioning gives way to doing things in harmony with others. The way we have learned to use Capitalism must change so that all can become a part of a thriving economy. Doing things as a self-aggrandizement must give way to a more society based ethic that supports everybody.

It is our opportunity to create this type of society as we humanitarians go about our work. We get to make the changes. Are we ready to do our work in harmony with the Alliance who is our guide and our protector? When we are ready, it will happen. We will not fail.

I send my prayers to the Alliance and all involved with them, including our IDC Family of Sovereign Humanitarians. Together we are awesome; our turn will come as we finalize our preparations. WWG1WGA!!!!

Love and Light to all
