DEBT CEILING

Y’all know where I stand: the show goes on till it can’t, no soft landing, Powell chases inflation, Powell runs from collapse … Powell has a helicopter on hot standby 24/7.

So the debt ceiling debate is absurd – of course they raise it, they have no choice.

Any action to reduce this debt would crash the system …

Any attempt to rebuke the debt would crash the system …

The only move left is to keep piling up more debt, to pay down debt …

(that’s just part of the endgame)

I would have more respect if they simply said this:

We have to raise the debt ceiling because the system is out of control and the amount of liability, expressed in today’s $USD, in terms of unfunded liability, is in the quadrillions … none of it gets paid for, ever.

Funny: almost none of the articles mention the hard scary numbers – total debt, total unfunded liabilities, etc … they just don’t want to freak people out.

THIS SHIT SHOW ENDS ONE WAY: Cascading, catastrophic, failure … Brutal, unpredictable, and horrible …

I dunno …

I feel like I’m losing my mind.

I also don’t know if I care.

I screwed up a podcast today, mixed up some names from the Bible. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, especially given I was reading JAMES just before – and he ADMONISHES US to be CAUTIOUS in seeking the role of teacher. And here I am, BOLO, shit head, fuck up. Jesus is not happy with me.

I wonder about trying to make money … I dunno.

Been watching this old show that had been unavailable, online, for a long time … and it looks like they digitally remastered it, editing the background, to add geoengineering spraying … as if the clouds it might have shown, the ones from my youth, would be to fucking shocking to see … better to hide this, forever.

I could use a hooker, and take a trip to the movies with this slut. We would share a large popcorn, covered in butter, and then slip off to the men’s room to find that swift harmony of the grease zone. She’d yeez all over my pants as I left my mark on her shoes, and then we’d get chased off by the theater manager, and then what? ROB THE DRUG STORE? … I dunno.

I was a scrub racer once … I was a jaundiced-owl and a hair dresser and the last of the 3 armed Shimbly’s … I could wrestle crocodile and snort coke and find love on the edge. I lived in a box outside of Grinken Town, where the noodle people eat their ramen and then vomit up their rat slurry to sell to weirdos from Paris. They can eat their own flesh to soften the blow from Heaven.

I wonder about my madness, and whether it’s a super power. Maybe my insane rage will be my ticket to FAME. I’ll grow an army of dingus-freaks and we’ll wear leather and steel and hunt the squirrel and live off of old time hooker soup. WE WOULD BE HUGE and unstoppable, if I cared.

My madness is my laser beam love. I can sky glide in raspberry make believe, while GERDY and BIRDY fondle the ruckus prince in my study. We will have musket parties, and drink spiced rum from some trendy blender. Our silk hide servants will grow stygian grub for our pies.

Sometimes I stare at the holes between the holes. I see the fragmentary alliance between disarray and entropy and their queer love pact. The particle streams reverse themselves and Ron Jeremy starts selling enhancers late at night. Your Mexican lover is none other than Rolanda.

I knew this guy from Sheffield, in the UK.

He was a triple toker and gasoline smoker and he had an MG and would drive real fast …

His girlfriend was named Jacey, and she had red hair and pale pimply skin …

He was sane.

***ERRATA: I make a mistake with three names, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob … this was a mistake, but I wanted to point that out. It happens a couple times in the service.

This book might be an excellent catechism for any new Christian.

Prayer of Commitment: https://planetarystatusreport.com/?p=4894

CORE THEME: the world vs God, make your choice …

Outline of book topics:

  1. Let perseverance finish its work
  2. Ask/Pray in FAITH – without DOUBT.
  3. Humiliation of those rich in the world
  4. God does not tempt you – it is your own evil desire that tempts you, and this sin leads to death
  5. God is consistent
  6. Listen to the Word AND do what It says
  7. Look after orphans and widows and keep yourself pure of the world
  8. Favoritism: do not pay special attention among the flock, all are equal before God
  9. Favoritism is SIN.
  10. Faith without deeds is dead
  11. “Go in peace, keep warm, and well fed” – but you do nothing to help them? – then you are not living the faith.
  12. Abraham offering Isaac – faith AND action working together
  13. Not by faith alone …
  14. Be careful in becoming a teacher – you will be judged to a higher standard (DAN)
  15. Show you’re a teacher THROUGH deeds.
  16. Your desire drives you to sin, but you could ask God. “Friendship with the world means emnity with God?”
  17. Friend of the World, enemy of God.
  18. Do not judge your neighbor – this is hard
  19. James demands that Christian practice exist as part of the general economy – in terms of wages and honest transactions
  20. Do not swear: simple yes or no.
  21. Whomever saves a sinner, saves themselves

Lords prayer …

Prayer of Commitment

Lord Jesus Christ,

You provided for your faithful a road map of faith, a guide, a means, the Word. And yet in our journey of faith, we often ignore the Word.

Kind Father, you gave to us great teachers, great leaders, who lived their faith journey by example, and yet we still find ourselves hungering for earthy wizards and magicians and charlatans that claim the name “disciple”.

Lord, we seek to renew our faith in the Church, and we do this by focusing on the basic truths of the Kingdom Life.

Give us the strength to persevere, despite error and sin.

In Your name we serve,

AMEN
