What Has to Stop!

Moving away from the current political rhetoric and behavior requires that TWO activities be reduced or eliminated.  We must stop the “bearing of false witness” verbally and the practice of using “fear to motivate action” within people/voters  for whom we are responsible.

We must focus on the long term systemic risks of our constituents/customers and less about party loyalty and group think.

Back to the Basics!

The ability to focus positively on the people or voter’s requirements and needs should be at the center of all elected representatives’ and senators’ missions. Their primary responsibility should be to have the desire and knowledge to minimize systemic or environmental RISKS — real and not perceived.

They should focus on minimizing everything from supply chain needs of their voters, to checks and balances of protecting funds when expended.

This should be the MISSION within their mission statement if they have developed one hundred and eighty (180) degree vision. Not fear, not condemnation, but a desire within their internal focus — and as stated within this blog’s texts and in the book Leadership: Where Business Ethics Begin.

Education — Where Its Focus Emerged

Education’s focus grew FROM nurturing a merit/excellence of our young people’s mindsets with a drive towards independence and behavior that focuses on that personal freedom TO nurture equality/emotion focused on inclusion and empathy. These qualities are driven by group think and behavior from educators nurtured in those same principles that harbor dependence on a defined group or in turn government interaction.

That redefinition of priorities could not be determined 50 years ago. Now the impact on the individual — after the fact and until now — has manifested in a new focus on what “your country can do for you rather than on what you can do for your country” (with apologies to John F. Kennedy). It can be experienced through striving and obtaining increased awareness of both physical and non-physical attributes within each of us.

That greater or lesser ability in a person can be observed within their actions and words.

RE-EDUCATE, a Footnote

We will have been successful in re-educating ourselves when we all can say and believe that in order to be considered patriots, we can say to each other: “Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country!” (John F. Kennedy)

Another indication will be when we stop voting for individuals who wish to increase government controls, authorities and regulations over the private business sector and within individual private companies.

RE-EDUCATE

Adults born after 1950 were educated in a changing culture within academics due to people entering teaching as a career, as well as those individuals becoming educated who were nurtured through their childhood years as students during the last few generations.

What they encountered was a change in the focus of education (as described in the bog EDUCATE) that focused more on emotion than on developing reason within curriculum expansion. This focus on teaching/nurturing emotional reaction as opposed to knowledge and information that can lead to a background facilitating a rational assessment of the world and the understanding of important rules and regulations within multiple generations has generated much of the emotional conflict being experienced.

A situation of what has been called putting the cart before the horse.

EDUCATE

We must take back the education of our children by re-instituting AMERICAN PRINCIPLED EDUCATION taught by teachers who were taught these principles when they were in school. We begin by simply having students recite the Pledge of Allegiance and then explaining what it means within civics and social studies platforms.

We have to replace the curriculum components that nurture emotion at the expense of reason.

ELIMINATE


Mr. REDACTED’s Technology
It is now being substantiated through declassification of classified government archives that for a half century Mr. (REDACTED) has developed the technology to orchestrate a complete media narrative focused on impacting political beliefs and behavior that perpetuates extreme left anti-Judean/Christian beliefs ( Ten Commandments principles) and sentiment.

His intent to create a total world order has led him to focus on developing and using algorithms and AI computer technology to impact traditional religious belief systems. He has been successful at setting and coordinating MOST media narratives and educational programs to influence the perspectives of the last two generations, beginning in the late 1960s.

He is currently responsible for funding public demonstrations throughout the country, from Black Lives Matter to anti-Trump rhetoric and Antifa. The effect has been to undermine the communication of truth with sustained false information over time.

An example of its success is demonstrated in recent events in Minneapolis/St. Paul.

What Can We Do?


How can we turn around the current climate of hostility and emotionally charged exchanges? It depends on three things:

1. Eliminate
2. Educate
3. Re-educate

We will explore these things in the next three blogs.

What Is 180-degree Behavior?

The book Leadership: Where Business Ethics Begin  attempts to lay out what type of behavior “sustained” 180-degree vision will manifest within the business environment, and the increased value that business creates for customers, clients, employees, and suppliers.

If you review the blogs written since November 2024 about turning around the negative emotion that applies to the political environment, you will see that we have experienced negativity since the 2024 election.

In particular, the activity/narrative of “bearing false witness” found within our Judeo/Christian tradition is an activity that leads to a negative and hostile environment.

A current example of this phenomenon is the discussion around Greenland — a topic that will be covered in the next blog.

Left-leaning Schools: What Are They?

The most liberal or what have been coined “left leaning schools” within the collegiate environment are the schools of journalism, law, education, political science and entertainment.

From a 180-degree perspective as explored within the book Leadership: Where Business Ethics Begin an important question to ask is why that situation has developed over the last 50 years.

The answer is when 180-degree vision starts to dominate conscious mind thoughts within each of us as effect, the answer begins to manifest itself, as does the ability to discern that “narrow line of truth “ that runs through all world religions and that influences our individual desire patterns to create something of value.

The issue is that without sustained 180-degree vision, the motivating desire patterns are what can be considered to be adulterated into self-interest and control (in thought, word and deed).

An offshoot of that is the innate desire to compete for what can be considered self-serving in nature.

This is not to be condemned but should be understood through “Awareness “ as discussed within the book’s section on “The Management Hierarchy “ and discussed as the top level of “managing awareness”.

Please understand that this discussion is meant to give insight into the negative political environment that is being experienced and which can be reversed through the impact of proper insight where emotion is dispelled.
