Too bad we have leaders who don't care about Americans.
The Life and Times of a 500 Pound Woman.
One aspect of Gen X I do not like I can sum up in one word is "apathy". The passivity and sitting back stuff never was something I liked. He talks about the Gen X mode being one of telling others "I am fine" and keeping a strong stoic face to the world. I've seen that in some classmates, but I don't think that one applied to me. Maybe in my case I faced too much, I wasn't fine and the stoic outer-shell cracked long ago.
Gen X is far too apathetic and checked out, watching this video you can see how trauma impacted that and his theories about being a "latchkey kid". I was a latchkey kid, now my mother only worked part time until I was in my early teens, but she was working full time by the time I was 13. I remember going home and making meatloaf for the family age 9-10 and doing my own laundry by age 8. It's weird to me now, how it's illegal now for a kid to be home alone under 12, when I already cooked the family dinner and babysat neighborhood kids by that age.
These expectations were true for many others in my generation though my family probably took things a bit further. Maybe these different aspects made Gen Xers more private and with small circles of friends as he theorizes. One thing that disturbs me about Gen X, is when I went out into the community and did things from volunteer work, earlier protests, to churches, art classes to other endeavors, I never met any other Gen X people. They just were never there. Maybe they just aren't joiners or there was a "withdrawal process" that began when they were young.
I usually was around boomers to do these activities and then later there was a sprinkling of millennials. My husband says we live in a town that skews far older, but I am not sure. My last IFB had no Gen X people in it, and my UU church had only 1 other Gen Xer in it, who left around the same time I did. I used to get weird thoughts, "How come I am the only Gen Xer anywhere?" Gen X is far fewer in number and many have died young. This was written about in my article: Gen X: The Scapegoat Generation is Dying Young. Today I believe the Covid vaxx is basically obliterating the liberal members of Generation X who lined up. I have noted the better health of my more conservative/religious classmates I am friends with on Facebook vs those who lined up. The increased death rates among Gen X are appearing in mainstream news though obviously they are not admitting the cause.
The Gen X Health Crisis and Deaths of Despair
I did use to say among close friends, "They named us Generation X to X us out." I know it's a bit morbid, but sometimes when I look back, I think about how Gen X was set up. I was writing about these issues 10 years ago.
Generation X has gotten some bad breaks. If I am going to criticize other generations like the boomers, my own is not above criticism. Gen X was too checked out, too obedient, and too uninvolved. Maybe some of it was not their fault, they were too poor, and drowned out. Most were scrambling like me to just survive. I also think most of us were given false expectations about life that did not pan out and false expectations do set up people for despair. Many of us who have had hard lives, maybe wish we had been told the truth. I never was. Someone should have laid it out to someone in my circumstances who faced so many challenges. I find it interesting this vlogger refers to Gen X not having a voice more than a few times. He seems to think Gen X is "supporting" society doing the hard labor, there's probably some electricians and nurses out there keeping society running silently for Gen Xers who managed employment. I do think he ignores too many of the devastating economic factors. He seems to be someone who remained employed himself so maybe didn't face so many economic factors like disabled me.
He points out that many in Gen X own the book "Children of Emotionally Immature Parents". I own this book, it is a book for ACONs. Is he hinting that many of Gen X was raised by narcissists? I'm not sure but it's a core component of this video. He does say as a result of all the trauma, Gen X is less likely to put up with BS and cuts to the quick, and doesn't have time for fake people.
One odd facet of my personality is my anxiety shuts down during real emergencies, and I am a problem solver under the gun. I am probably too sick now for this to really help anyone now, but this occurred at various times in my life. There were some jokes about me being MacGyver. The last time this happened was a few years ago, when my husband accidentally locked us out of a car with dysfunctional locks in the middle of a snowstorm. I don't even remember how I got the car unlocked, I think I used a coat hanger. So this Gen X trait probably rings true for me. The picture of the office with crying people and the trash can on fire, my personality is such, I would probably enter a room like that and would yell, and tell people what to do. If the shit hits the fan, I do get bossy and don't wait for others to step up. Once I was in this apartment building in Chicago with smoke, it turned out to be a fire in the courtyard area which could have started the building on fire too. I said, "We are getting the hell out of here", as everyone else dithered around. They were offended I just left and got my then fiancé now husband to leave too. I do err on the side of caution but I can see how some people just sit by and let bad stuff happen too.
He claims Generation X holds more leadership roles than I expected. I haven't seen that and may disagree with that one. Where I live the boomers still hold on to most leadership roles with millennials rising up in them. Gen X got skipped over. He talks about the "sandwich generation". I remember years ago they talked about the Boomers being in that place. Of course only Gen Xers with families and who had children would be in that position. With most of my classmates, their parents are already deceased and most of their kids out of the house. Some may still be supporting adult children though. He says Gen X parents allowed more discussion of feelings. I hope so.
He says many Gen X are emotionally exhausted. I believe that's worsened since Covid. Many are overworked, especially now the way the economy is, my situation was different due to early disability and autism. He says more Gen X marriages have been longer-lasting than boomer marriages, that makes sense, but I believe less people got married too as the years passed by. He seems to say Gen X has character born out it's trauma and they are the "show up" generation. Gen X is starting to age now, but never got a voice. I predicted that ten years ago and was right. Years ago I used to read books claiming Gen X was going to be cleaning up a lot of messes in their old age. That one I do believe.
Everyone has the right to protest what they want via the first amendment, but I ask, why did people adopt these useless slogans so willingly? Why is there so little variation? When I used to do protests, you could see a wide range of people and interests at one protest. There would be different groups and clubs there, sometimes people showed up who I didn't agree with. That's fine. These protests are such a monolith, I think that's what bugs me about them. I remember us driving around to the 3-4 local protests I witnessed with my own eyes. I wanted to find anti-war people to talk to, and other independents. They simply weren't there. Some would say people in the know, are already bugging out. They know the system is hitting a wall. Maybe so.
The same signs everywhere....[this one from Facebook Mountain News [Kentucky]
No Kings just seems to be steam release sponsored by billionaires! I follow one website that photographs protest marches. There was one anti-war protest in Chicago I agreed with, but this was not a No Kings event but a smaller event. Yesterday, I saw a lot of the local pictures and videos, and was disappointed. No one mentioned Epstein. No one mentioned the Iran war. What are these protests for anyway? Some people have told me they have seen anti-war signs and anti-Epstein signs at their local no kings protests, I hope they are correct and their larger protests, have more independents mixed in the crowd that are not following the dictates of "Indivisible" so strongly. Maybe some are still using brain cells in their area to make independent signs. Some people still believe in the left. I don't. I don't expect Big Pharm loving politicians to change life for the better either.
I looked at a variety of photos, in different areas and videos and saw nothing about the economy too. Maybe a few had signs about gas prices with Trump saying "I did that!".
One article making the rounds from the Wall Street Journal claims that No Kings is just "feel good" group therapy that accomplishes nothing but makes its participants "feel better". People have the right to protest and practice their first amendment rights but there's truth in this paragraph:
"At their core, the rallies resemble bad group therapy—gatherings that offer validation, solidarity and emotional release. They feel good in the moment. Participants vent, find reinforcement among like-minded people, and leave feeling heard and aligned. The experience can seem productive, even clarifying. But like bad group therapy, it stops at validation. The feelings are processed but not challenged, reinforced but not examined. There is relief but little resolution, and the underlying problems remain. It offers the feeling of progress without the substance of it."
Maybe the fact is, that these protests are designed this way. I wrote about this in my other article on No Kings how they were billionaire funded. The messages are guided. You think the billionaires want anyone questioning the economy or the flood of money that will be leaving the country for more war? Wars that the left continued to conduct too?
No Kings Protests: Ignoring the Economic Elephant in the Room!
and then I have this thought....
No one protested the p*dos. No one protested the ones connected to Epstein. And we still have seen no justice for the children and young people who were abused.
I have seen no real demanded changes or calls for improvements to anyone's lives. Sadly, Trump remains the center of attention. Just like Goldstein in the book 1984, the room revolves around Trump for better or worse. There's a problem in that you see especially as society is having so many multiple problems at once. In my small town, it remains the geriatric crowd, those over 65-70 who are mostly middle class and above chanting "no kings". Obama and Biden crossed tyrannical lines too. Remember this meme? The hypocrisy about marching against tyranny when you wanted to FORCE an unwanted medical product on people was too much and something I will never be able to look pass. Yes, Trump is doing things I disagree with, but Biden tried to force clot shots on us all. The left broke tyranny records with that one, forcing people into poverty who refused, taking their jobs away and more. There are still states like Massachusetts and California who still force the shots for some jobs. That remains unforgiveable to me.
They spend billions and millions on bombs. It's ironic they tell people "Don't use your air conditioner", but they'll bomb oil tankers and tanks, and make "black rain", so yeah know when they talk about caring about the environment, they don't care. They don't care about the people including kids who died from the Covid vaxxes. They don't care.
This video was great and described a major problem with cleaning. One day I told my husband, "When it gets really messy in here, I feel afraid!". It's hard to explain. The details are always so many. America being a messed up country, disabled people cannot get help even if you can't walk or move to clean the house or apartment. No one cares if you barely can walk to the bathroom, keep your place clean anyway! No church, social agency or anyone else [except maybe a friend here or there] is going to help with this! Your dreams of a super-organized person coming in to clean the place up aren't ever going to happen. Desperation and fear aren't good to have if you need to clean. The tub needed fixed, we had to clean for hours. Sometimes I just fill up trash bags, to get it clean. I cleaned from bed yesterday. I've been sick, it's a long story, not contagious, but needed a surgery, thankfully done under local anesthesia, and haven't been functioning well. Supposedly I'm healing but it's been slow. This was low stress cleaning at least done without shame or fear. My purse, my diabetes bag were cleaned out, I emptied a box I had thrown stuff in, see method below, and then ripped the box apart and put it into the trash bag from bed. My husband did do laundry and did the dishes.
My cooking has been strange and utilitarian to save on effort but still get some results. I bought a giant thing of chicken thighs and baked them and just threw them together with rice noodles or rice and veg for 4 days. I weighed 460 the other day.
Cleaning is hard, and no one talks about how hard it is. There's other things like art I'd rather be doing. Every movement hurts. Of course, cleaning sucks. It seems like in a sane country, sick and disabled people could get help with cleaning or organization but that's not America. Cleaning supplies cost money. This is on my list of things to do but I need bleach, paper towels, Fantastik, and other spray cleaners. He got me some scratchy pads to clean off the stove. Cooking sucks, it makes a mess too. Once I get the cleaning supplies, this place will be in better shape.
I have major hang ups with cleaning, and it seems things are always falling apart and little pieces of paper falling. Throwing away stuff? Never shopping because you're broke? The crap seems to pile up anyway. They talk about in the video, how the narcissistic parents demanded endless perfection and even if you cleaned but left one bowl in a sink or one toy on your bedroom floor, the rages we experienced impacted our lives. Flashbacks can happen even years later. Spill something on the floor, there's a little spark inside, "Oh no one is going to backhand me now, I live in peace now".
I had memories too leaving in one bowl in the sink and the rage that followed. Let's be real these narcissists even if you cleaned the place from top to bottom, they are going to find or make up a "mistake" anyway. If someone is too neat, they make me nervous. Will criticism come? My body and brain don't work right to clean. Why is there never enough counter space? Why is everything always too small. How do two people make 5-6 giant trash bags a week and this even during weeks, where I am not cooking much? Why does it take trash bags and endless wiping of counters? The paper towels disappear like farts in the wind. I freeze like this video describes, and sometimes just stare at it all. I have written about being overwhelmed for years. I overcame some of this stuff, but it probably will be a life-long battle.
Cleaning as the video describes does equate to danger for me! I had mean now ex-friends, say "Why don't you clean this place up?" One refused to help. I learned if anyone else says that to me, I'm asking them to help me clean it up or else leave. There's the fat thing with messiness, the "fat slob" tropes. Well if you were trapped in a body that can barely move, how clean would you be? He talks about shame, I relate to all that. I have driven myself into illness more times than not trying to be "clean". Maybe people in normal bodies you can do it, and it works out. I wrote about how I grew up with extreme clean-freaks, maybe the cleanliness was like the play MacBeth, they were trying to make up for their lack of consciences. I silenced the inner critic during years of no contact, but there's always this little fear. "Someone will see" [the maintenance man, the building manager, the house-call doctor] and "punishment" will follow. My doctors never cared. I would make jokes about the mess, they said they have seen worse. The legions of uncared for elderly, disabled and others are probably numerous in America today. I have a nice husband to do my stinky laundry and he knows will cook something even if boring and gluten free. When is the next "inspection"? So wonder those are nightmare inducing situations for me.
The video says: "The more you bully yourself to clean the more you trigger the freeze response". That's true. I did move away from that silencing the voices from the past, but it's a problem for many ACONs. Rich women with white gloved fingers and endless money to pretty things up and for cleaning supplies, didn't have my life, at a certain point I shrugged and thought, "I will do my best!" Why should I be held to the same standards? Their advice to override the freeze response is helpful. The "low demand" advice is good, do small pieces don't be overwhelmed by the whole thing. That's one reason I hate housework, the endless steps. Where the vlogger tells you to collect things into a laundry basket, this is one thing I've done for a few years. I take a big box, and just clear everything off, the table top, the floor, and then I can sort the box later, maybe even not the same day. This technique helped me a lot. He has other good advice too, "flood the brain with dopamine instead of cortisol". I plastered my apartment in art all over the place including art of friends, to help me on the dopamine thing. I have little art works to put up today, that part of cleaning is something "fun" to me. Check the video out. This is a horrible problem for many ACONs and that advice in this video is good.
My old articles on cleaning
This video has had almost 2 million views. Notice the connections that are outlined, both sides, both parties, and pay close attention to the stuff on Musk, Gates and Thiel. The vlogger wisely points out these are the "elite of the elite" making present day decisions on our lives! He also points out how many of these influential people remained by Epstein's side even after they knew he was a p*do.
It looks like the conspiracy theorists were right again. Our leaders really are that bad. They don't care about you or me. They are out for profit and power and abuse both to harm others.
One thing I notice reading their emails that have been shown, is bad grammar, lack of deep ideas, connection and humanity. They are boring, shallow and vapid as they trade millions of dollars like candy.
As people here know, I am to many, what some people call a "conspiracy theorist". The term reality theorist applies more. My life has grown weird watching things I used to warn about on a conspiracy and bible prophecy blog come true. Around 2014, I put a comment on my own blog, that they would rally the whole planet against threats like VIRUSES.
I became "new world order" aware in the late 90s. It had to do with reading this book on Waco and reading anti-war literature. I watched some X files too. When I was young I read all sorts of esoteric books ranging from Carl Jung to Theosophy which impacted my world view in piecing things together. When I had my faith troubles, I even backed away for a time questioning conspiracy. However I realized, the system really had something majorly wrong with it. Some of the conspiracies were true. Conspiracy people talked about the elites being Luciferian creeps as far back as the 2000s. They would write essays on Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut movie and it's deeper meaning.
The Epstein files have dropped. The list contains endless celebrities, politicians from both parties, and heads of corporations. I hope some have kept up with the news but many heinous crimes have been exposed. I can't write about what has been exposed here. The vlogger above gives general information. I don't want another post taken down. Mainstream news has talked about the Epstein Files now. Just go google it.
Avoid playing the embedded videos at this link, I didn't watch them myself! This link will bring up how pandemics were mentioned in the Epstein files, it wasn't good. Gates is all over this stuff.
BREAKING: The Epstein Files Illuminate a 20-Year Architecture Behind Pandemics as a Business Model—With Bill Gates at the Center of the Network
All the names in Epstein's black book, you can see the flight manifests on this website too.
One interesting fact about the Epstein Files, is within in them, the creeps discuss pandemic planning. Those of us who did not trust authority or the creeps in charge are far better off.
I'm of the belief the Epstein Files are being used in some way. A distraction? Perhaps to get people riled up for something like an Arab Spring in America? Epstein was most likely an intelligence asset of some sort. Our debauched leaders are just like Genghis Khan; they are the same thing doing sick things because they can get away with it and they have no consciences. These types don't care about women, and children. People are chattel to them and have been for centuries. Some people wrote and warned that the Epstein Files are to get people to tear down the old system to replace it for a false "great awakening" and turn people towards a new system of AI, and other controls. One claimed it would be the way to transfer everything to the WEF or another system of government to control us even worse. Some old time conspiracy theorists, claimed it was an "order out of chaos" approach and others claimed it was a psych-op like this guy below. If one reads enough Doug Valentine books and explores other writings about the world, they will know many of the extremely wealthy have profited from wars, illegal drugs and human trafficking.
Remember this article?
Me and Revelations
Still agree with this one. Never thought the world would go this insane. This verse is applicable when thinking of our world leaders. "Spiritual wickedness in high places" is obviously a given. Whatever these people are guilty of, they aren't like ordinary people. Their power and money has led them to evil places.

Epstein's investments with Thiel
I don't have many answers on this stuff. I will still write about world events, but in real life I plan to disengage from the system as much as possible, art is something I have focused on as of late. If someone is in the Epstein files, I refuse to watch their movies, that would include Woody Allen and others. I shut off my TV when I see one of these people on the screen, and no longer read or watch the words of politicians and others that were involved. Bill Clinton disgusts me as much as any politicians on the right. I don't want my emotions manipulated. It's kind of like "no contact". Why be "in contact" with psychopaths? Famous ones or not? They have nothing to say to me because they are "people of the lie". One reason society has gone insane, is they no longer believe that good and evil exist, they have no discernment and have become fodder for psychopaths.
