"Putting on the Game Face"

This blog is a doorway into the mind of Percy Goodfellow. Don't be shocked at the lost boys of Namby-Pamby Land and the women they cavort with. Watch as his caricatures blunder about the space between audacious hope and the wake-up calls of tomorrow. Behold their scrawl on the CRT, like graffitti on a subway wall. Examine it through your own lens...Step up my friends, and separate the pepper from the rat poop. Welcome to my abode...the armpit of yesterday, the blinking of an eye and a plank to the edge of Eternity.

Note: This blog is my journal. I've no interest in persuading anyone to adopt my views. What I write is whatever happens to interest me when I start pounding the keys.

In response to "Anunnaki Birth Mothers "

I knew Mesopotamia was responsible for all the bad rap our humankind has been getting. No wonder, it is still messy there.
I have heard about the Anunnaki women, and I have met many who believe the earth was settled by aliens. Then, biologically incubated! It must be the reason some of us look like apes.
Good one!

In response to "Throwing out the Baby with the Bathwater"

My first read. Like your style and definitely will come back for more.
As to this posting, I'm thinking that that was a long and real tasty course of appetisers, but the real meat on the bone is where the final paragraph winds up.
Personally, I think in months and perhaps years to come, a lot of questions will be asked, a lot of answers thought of, and when the dust settles me may know and understand just what really filled up that powder keg set off in Minneapolis.
Contrary to the popular progressive line of reasoning.

We might have spotted a thousand indicators along the way, over the past decade. Smaller stories buried away in the middle of that "long march through the institutions." The rioters are hardly institutional. But I think they are the minions, of the cadres, trained by'thinkers' who came up with what they thought were bright ideas all the way back in the 1960's.

Anyone can be a fan of Hendrix, and think that playing 'air guitar' is as good as the real thing. Apparently it's just that easy to become educated now, or so it seems.

In response to "My Prediction for the Midterm Elections"

I like your prediction and so hope it will come true. Only then, the anarchists may rethink their ways, just maybe.

In response to "The Ultimate Triumph of Good"

I am with you on this. I think the Left is doing everything in their power to make this President's work unsuccessful, and I especially resent the "resist" order from the top and the anarchy and division it has caused.

I am an independent voter and I am not liking what I see one bit.

In response to "Quit Blaming the Field Goal Kicker"

Hello Percy
I enjoyed your blog and the comparison that were made. I think you have a point when it come to links in the chain, but I don't necessarily agree with the conclusion. I believe those who enjoy hunting don't use semi automatic weapons to kill their pray. I don't think semi automatic weapons are needed in the general public. The proliferation of these guns have caused a great deal of problems, not only with school shooters, but gangs and other individuals. I may have my head in the sand but I don't believe we are going to attacked and if small groups come ashore to cause havoc and destruction we have the police and FBI to rely on. This is a good article and very thought provoking.

In response to "Don't Get Me Started"

Funny, I used to be quite a liberal, too. Though not the kind of a liberal who would blindly vote for someone who never really liked women or cared about the minorities even if she insisted she did.

Because of the way the Democrats have changed their party as you pointed out in detail and the way they have acted as such sore losers, I may never vote for Democrats again. Then, whoever did the hacking, they didn't make up the e-mails or the other facts; they brought into open what was already there.

Lousy blogger? I know it is difficult to write when you have a life, and we do. So take your time, it is always worth the wait!

Evasive Communications

If a boss is looking for a specific outcome, and the means to that outcome approaches or exceeds the line between right and wrong, chances are he or she will choose an indirect way of expressing a directive. This allegedly happened as claimed in the recent impeachment proceedings held in the House of Representatives and also played prominently in the FISA abuse identified in the Horowitz Report. Since these two examples involve both the Republicans and Democrats seeking to shape a narrative, it is illustrative. Both are examples of using the vague and indirect instead of coming right out and openly speaking or writing the truth.

For example, President Trump's phone conversation was construed as a gloved threat to the newly elected President of the Ukraine. His words, "Do us a favor" was translated to mean, "Read my lips, do what I'm asking, if you expect the aid to be released or ever get an invitation to the White House." He did not clearly lay out a quid pro quo by saying "If you don't do the investigation, you don't get the aid." Instead he allegedly made his desires known, indirectly. One doesn't have to be a high level politician to understand how this works. There are many other ways for laying out a course of action without expressing it directly or putting it in writing.

In a similar way the same message was sent from Comey and McCabe to the teams responsible for preparing the FISA warrants. The unspoken message was "Trump is a bad person who is doing bad things to this country and our job is to uncover his plotting and expose his nefarious activities." In this case the top brass at the FBI were not going to say, "I want that SOB Trump's head and don't care what it takes to do it." That's just not the way it works. It isn't necessary to express an outcome directly and it is often wiser to express it in more general terms. There are many other techniques, as I stated above, for making a desire known without coming right out and saying it.

In both these cases accusations were made, requiring more concrete proof to determine the truth of what really happened. To crystalize the truth, dispose of nuance and get to the bottom of matters it became necessary to air the issues openly and let the people reach their own conclusions.
