Hillary's Been Running This Country.....

>>M2,I would agree with your post except for the last sentence. Those employees of the travel office, were not disgruntled. They were summarily dismissed so clinton cronies from Arkansas could belly up to the government teat, and suck away. The firing was done at the, explicit order from rodham, because, after all, she had to assert her authority as controller of the White House, and reward her friends for, loyally, keeping their mouths shut about her many illegal acts in Arkansas. If you would pursue the matter further, you could easily uncover the facts of the matter, which have been documented, instead of regurgitating, what appears to be an uneducated, and sarcastic, opinion. ~H~>>

Let's break this down to a KISS picture.

Politics is all about TWO (2) forces only: 1) Power; and 2) Control.

Truth, justice, honesty, fairness, light, etc. have no place inside a traditional, hard core, belly to belly, political model machine.

And all political machines feed off of and depends on just ONE thing to survive and grow this power and control: TRUST.

Remember, true hard core politicians don't particularly care about truth and honesty. For they FEED off the truth, honesty and trust of others. And here's another interesting note: this "feeding" take places inside AND outside their power/control paradigm.

It's like being in the middle of a voracious Black Hole which sucks in and devours light, ideas, hope, time and trust from anything, anyone, anywhere, anytime. For black holes don't discriminate. They just need the light, energy and trust of others to keep growing for once black holes stop growing, they - by default - start to collapse and become fodder for the next catalyst or fission reaction which creates another sun which radiates and virally spreads light, energy and truth while creating and supporting personal and community TRUST.

Each of us carry a dark and light side. And depending on our mood, values and beliefs, we feed the good and bad dogs inside us.

All we need to do is look at the fruits of what our actions create: harmony, light, trust, love vs. darkness, distrust and hate.

The other pattern to note, even inside of us is that when we revert our political natures - ie. taking energy, spreading darkness, etc. - we invariably reject the ONE and only thing which can carry us "higher" to the light toward truth and love: RISK.

For if you dissassemble things down to their core, the political side to our inner natures that feeds off of power and control - ie. wanting to grab, possess and control things - is also the side that doesn't want to embrace RISK. For the driving force behind hate is always FEAR. Being scared - even like a little child who gets scared - is a feeling we do not want to experience. And since "being scared" is powered by this sense of "fear" there always has to be a target for fear - someone, somewhere, sometime to point the finger at and blame, etc.

This "pointing and blaming" is nothing more than the natural expression of our free will to "judge" and "label" and "define."

Judging, labelling and defining are tools of the political trade, for they - by definition - limit, refract and take energy - ie. light and trust - from others.

But I believe more and more individuals throughout the world are personally waking up to the simple inner discovery that comes from truly trusting while taking actions which embrace RISK.

For all corruption essentially involves taking ZERO risk: heads I win, tails you lose. And in this model, it's very convenient to have a "significant other" riding one or the other horse so this "heads I win, tails they lose" game can be mastered.

But since "the enemy" does the same thing and it's all "just a game" then the only thing to not lose site of is the ultimate prize where the end justifies the means.

We've got one of the greatest black holes that ever descended onto the world political landscape. There's nothing personal about this analysis. For the only thing to look at is our environment and how each of us, as individuals, are working with ourselves and others to create more of the two things this world so desparately needs: 1) Trust and 2) Love.

The only medium through which I've been able to create and embrace those two forces is by RISKING.

For when I risk, all my words and all my past drops away behind me.

For when I risk, all titles, definitions and lables lose their relevence.

For when I risk, all universal meaning gets compacted and fused into ONE thing: "the moment."

The past, future and present become ONE for a simple, timeless moment and the radiating force of LOVE could just possibly be created and virally shared and forever radiate while impacting others in a growing, compouding, leveraged positive ways.

So, my feeling is that the Real McCoy is NOT about this "dog eat dog" political stuff.

It's about each of us being part of this process of making a positive, lasting difference in this world.

Peace.

GO!!
