- I Worry About My Country Buh-duh-ba dum bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum-bum. Hi, welcome to another episode of WANZOLOGY. I am your host, The Wanz. How are you? You feel okay? Uh, not me. I, I'm questionable. By the time you hear this, a certain person will have been inaugurated and put into office. And if you're, oh, skeptical, if you're afraid, if you're not trusting, then this, this particular episode is what you need to listen to. If you're perfectly happy with the results of the last election, by all means, skip this one. I just have to get this out. WANZOLOGY is all about how you see things. And I hope that you have some parallels, similarities, some things in common with the way that I see things. And if you don't, that's fine, it's not a requirement. But right now, I'm going to, like, do a stream of consciousness, I don't know what to call it. I just feel some sort of way. What I don't understand is how anyone can't see how almost inhuman this person is. I don't understand how another person can believe anything that he says. I don't understand why anyone would entertain the thought of thinking that this person has solutions to problems he's never had. How is that even possible? I don't really understand. Now, I may not be the smartest bulb in the pack, but there's one thing that I do know, about people. For the most part, people are pretty much the same. Unless they come from different circumstances. There are some who have lived in survival mode for so long, it's all they know. They trust no one. They go nowhere by themselves. I mean, I used to be one of these people. I would never, ever, ever sit with my back facing the door, anywhere, even at home, didn't matter because I didn't trust anybody. I might pretend that I trusted you, but I didn't trust you. But this person, this person is messing around with livelihoods, dreams, aspirations, hopes and he doesn't come from a background like you and I. I mean, I'm assuming that you went to public school. And if you didn't go to public school, that's fine. I'm assuming that at some point, you either started working or you went to college and if you went to college, you may or may not have joined a fraternity or a sorority, you may or may not have gotten good grades, you may or may not have finished, but there's a certain mixing of people that happens at institutions of higher learning and either you learn how to get along, or you learn how to hate. Well, maybe not hate, but you certainly don't learn how to get along better. If you remember your first couple years of college living in a dorm, you kind of had to learn how to get along with people, especially people that you really didn't like. And as time went on, you found out more about them. They found out more about you and who knows maybe those relationships changed, maybe you changed, maybe they changed and you guys got closer or further apart, that's not my focal point. My focal point is the experiences that you shared with those people. There's no way you can get me to believe that that person who was just been elected President of the United States, There's no way he had anywhere near the experiences that you or I had in these institutions of higher learning. There's no way he can understand what it would be like to work a job 40 hours a week and not be making enough money. He wouldn't understand what it would be like to be turned down on an application for an apartment, even just to experience a simple job interview. Keep in mind, he's never had to work for anyone other than a family member. I really, really, really cannot believe that people who are supposedly middle class or below believe that this person will help them. He may help you, but you gotta ask yourself, what do you have to give? I remember after 9 11, there was a thing called the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act was put into place so that our spy agencies and agencies that basically were to protect the country could gather more information on people. Now, as far as I know, there are many parts of the Patriot Act that never were repealed. Our government has the ability and the wherewithal if they have probable cause, or if they get a warrant to sit outside 20 yards from your house with a microphone and pick up all the conversations that go on in your house. They can monitor all the traffic that comes into your router, your cable box, cell phone calls, all of it. If they suspect that you might be a danger to the country. Now here we have someone who has demonstrated he is a danger to the country. How, you ask? Just look at his relationship with Vladimir Putin. Have you ever heard him say anything, anything remotely bad about Vladimir Putin? Have you ever heard or seen Vladimir Putin do anything against this person? Me either. But in 2018, when he stood up in Helsinki, with Putin right next to him and took Putin's side over his own intelligence agencies, that, to me, was the bridge too far. That, to me, made me suspicious. And when I did a little digging, I found out that there was not one meeting with Putin that had another American in the room. Now, there may have been meetings where they both had their translators and representatives, but aside from those, those two met alone. Now, that wouldn't bother me if it weren't for the fact that Putin used to be a KGB agent. He's still a KGB agent or else why would it be that anyone who opposes him dies. if they don't die? They're severely injured, but usually they die everyone, remember Navalniay? Hmph, Putin, he has no detractors. He has no one, no one against him. I find that odd. I find it odd that this person who has been elected to run our country looks up to this guy. That's about as un American as you can possibly be. America is supposed to be home of the free, land of the brave, right? If you are catering to someone so that they don't divulge information on you, how is that free? And if you don't call them out on it, how is it brave? How is it American at all? I've been listening to a book by a guy named Timothy Snyder called On Tyranny and lesson 19 maps out the difference between nationalism and patriotism. And in a nutshell, patriotism is something that's done for everyone in the country. Nationalism is not. Nationalism believes a certain set of facts that go a certain way, and they never really stray from that. Their ideals fluctuate with whatever the leader wants. Nationalists don't see the real behavior of people mattering in their decision-making processes and they're totally closed off to opposing opinions. Unlike patriots, they welcome another side of things. They will discuss things, hell, they'll even compromise on some things. Most things. But I'm telling you, this guy that's been elected, who is taking office January 20th of 2025, if you make less than $300,000 a year, he does not have your best interests in mind. If you make less than a hundred thousand dollars a year, he does not have your interests in mind. Now, mind you, he said a lot when he wanted the job. He went around and had crowds totally eaten out of his hand, “Yep, look at what's happening right now. Groceries are too expensive. Why is gas so high? It wasn't this way when I was in office before.”, well, the major difference between then and now is now, we're not under the thumb of a worldwide pandemic. And the demand for goods and services is not what it used to be, it's just not. I'm sorry, there are certain economic rules that are like gravity. Supply and demand is one of them. If there's not a lot of supply, but there's a lot of demand, people will pay more for whatever is in demand. The country is going through a bout of Avian Flu, that includes chickens. Chickens lay eggs and we all know that the price of eggs at the grocery store is hella high! Now, a certain person said that they were going to do something, do something, to lower those costs but a week before they're gonna actually start the job, “Oh, that's really hard. I don't think we're going to be able to do anything. I don't think we're going to be able to help. I don't think we're going to be able to reduce those prices.”. One of many stories we've all been told by this person. To me, the kicker is, I just saw a video of him speaking to a crowd and saying, “They rigged the election, and we won.” Now, the question that I have for you is, do you think he's lying now? Or was he lying then? Because when you have someone who's immersed in technology, someone like an Elon Musk, it's possible there can be computer manipulations anywhere in a process that uses computers. Tabulation machines, reporting machines. I seem to remember there were many, many, many complaints about the last election, which, you know, if you have those concerns, there should have been. 60 times, over 60 times, these concerns were presented in a court of law and over 60 times, nothing ever came of it. Yet the person who is now taking office. Would say “huge”, “massive, “totally massive fraud”, MASSIVE!! So massive you wouldn't believe!” Okay, I live near Mount Rainier. I can see it from a hundred miles away. That's pretty massive. But you know, I can't see a pebble on the street outside of my apartment and it's closer than Mount Rainier. May not even be there at all. And in four years, not one, not one person has actually presented Anything, anything resembling facts, provable, demonstratable, repeatable facts that would support claims there was fraud. Fraud big enough to affect the outcome of the last election. Been waiting patiently for it, right next to Mexico paying for a wall, and I have seen no pesos. I say all this because, yes, I'm extremely skeptical, but more so, I'm afraid. I'm afraid that this country is about to get a lesson that it really doesn't need to learn. Could have learned it from Germany. Could have learned it from Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Baltic states, could have learned it from Italy, but nooooooo. “We're not them, we're different.”, “We're Americans. That stuff could not happen here.” Well, if you're a nationalist, you say that a lot, “It just couldn't happen here.”, “or “It wouldn't happen here.”, or “It can't happen here.”, that's what nationalists will say. But you know what? Patriots will say, if it does happen here, we’ll fight it. If not for myself, for the rest of the country, or others. Especially the ones who can't fight for themselves. That's what being a patriot is. There are principles underneath why you feel that way about your country. You do things for your country, not for yourself because it's not about you. You are part of something bigger than yourself if you are a citizen of the United States of America, and right now I have serious doubts about the next two years. So if you've got a coffee can, I would suggest you put money in it and bury that sucker somewhere because the people who now rule this country don't care about how much money you have. They only care about how much money they can take for themselves. And you know what? I might be wrong. I've been wrong before. If I am, I'll come back and apologize. I'll take every word of what I've just said back. I have a really strange feeling I won't have to, but we'll see. Please, do the best that you can to take care of you and yours and whatever you do, don't trust someone you wouldn't have as a friend. Because if someone behaves like a certain person does and they're your friend, do you really trust them? Do you believe them all the time? Do you believe that they always have your best interest in mind? Because that's not what I've seen and I don't have anybody close to me in my circle, I got no homies who act like this guy, none. And I know you don't either, but if you do, I feel for you. I'm going to be out of town for a week and hopefully when I come back, I'll have a better attitude. But until then, I kid you not, take good care of yourself, maybe extend that to somebody else. They might need it, later.
