Introduction:
The introduction of this thought provoking question shown above is intended to make any individual with an interest in the direction of their Country, and especially what type of future their descendants will be faced with (at least those fortunate enough to be blessed with such because in the case of the "Chisholm Family Inclusive" such a right was taken away from them for a dishonorable cause and there is none left to uphold that storied family's heritage) and after having considered this as well as about the direction its headed in, such an individual can seriously say that it’s headed in the “right” direction then such types would be comfortable with what passes the appearance of success in our society today, where shallowness has replaced real innovation and those in positions of power (business and political) are satisfied with this direction, since it provides them with the appearance that all is well since their “balance sheets” are showing increasing profit margins, but at what price?. Something appears to be lacking that those early “fairness seekers” possessed in the “Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave,” that, which is missing from all of today’s successes, is namely UNITY OF PURPOSE, such as what drove a band of unproven, untested, untrained in the art of warfare, and without the support of any to the point of becoming the cohesive, unified group of colonists whose act of bravery still is unmatched today for what is exemplified by unified courage as documented in the post “A CLOSER LOOK AT AN UNUSUAL FORM OF EXEMPLIFIED COURAGE”. In addition, And in spite of all our best intentions, and what is stated by those with “good” intentions, THE CONCEPT OF TOO BIG TO FAIL IS ALIVE AND WELL as the activities that took place even in the midst of the recent crisis as documented in the post “HOW CAN THERE BE ANY DEGREE OF CONFIDENCE THAT THE STATE OF FINANCIAL FIRMS IS WHAT THEY APPEAR TO BE?”, clearly demonstrated, namely that nothing in reality has changed. This post is intended to examine this point to determine whether or not too big to fair was really a casualty in the recent financial crisis as documented in the post, “ONE CASUALTY OF THE RECENT FINANCIAL CRISIS, TOO BIG TO FAIL (EDITED AND UPDATED)” and after contemplating such, consider the cause of Lois Bruno (who is remembered in the Conservery Dedication and the "Chisholm Family Inclusive" and then answer the question, if all is well how come the rights as this family as deserved by all can't be addressed as all are deserved to be and should be in this Land of the "Brave"?
Here are the Details of Interest:
Before the change in the above Accounting Rule, the best of institutions were in danger of being swallowed in the recent financial crisis, that was averted by this action even though it was disgraceful, and ugly, those involved,(which apparently included a cross section of those in business from all sectors), one can only conclude were collectively of the opinion that as long as the end objective is obtained it doesn’t matter how we achieved it, because no one will remember, “a politicians best dream”, namely that no one remembers what took place and especially if they were in any way involved in the undertaking. Once this was achieved “everything” from the perspective of the business community went back to normal (or business as usual). One important question to be asked here is did things go back to normal for the tens of thousands who were caught in “underwater” conditions as documented in the post “THE FORGOTTEN VOTERS (EDITED AND UPDATED)! " In the opinion of this Hobby Blogger/Hobby Artist, I certainly do not think that they did. The conditions these “forgotten voters” were left to deal with is reminiscent of the conditions that the early band of “fairness seekers” had to endure at the hands of the Colonial Power, of the day in their drive for operating revenue by their instituting of their taxation without representation methods at the expense of those early settlers, who had to endure all the perils as well as rewards the new land had to offers only to have it (their rewards), taken from them by unfair means. One can only conclude that their burdens were significantly unbearable such that they were driven to collective bravery that is still unmatched.
These types of disparities have existed throughout the history of our society (regardless of the country of origin) of those who find themselves in this Country today and who actually have a “real” heritage that isn’t stolen or borrowed from “unfortunate” types whose sacrifices are being manipulated, disseminated and reconfigured by those who see nothing wrong with such an approach as long as they are able to prop up their balance sheets to give the appearance of successful operation regardless of how the income in being derived, as summarized in the post HOW TO IDENTIFY THOSE WHO CONTROL THE "FREE LOADERS" - UPDATED. But if history is any guide, it can truly be stated that all such societies eventually rose up in action against those who sought to institute their unfair measures on the collective “masses” with impunity because they like those of today who see nothing wrong with: a) borrowing the identities of others without consideration for how those impacted are affected, b) stealing the accomplishments of those considered of no consequence by society’s “elite”, c) cherry picking their qualifications to provide the appearance of achievement to those who are willing to play by the rules of these so called “elite” gatekeepers and d) usurping the history of these same individuals so selected to be sacrificed for the cause of these “courageous” types, have never learned the lesson of dictators historically, namely that all dictatorial types end up the SAME way, regardless of how well woven, and apparently “well crafted” their dictatorship has been manufactured, such that even those most discerning, can’t even tell that what is being offered as democracy in action is really dictatorially driven, implemented and maintained.
Those who have determined by “decree” that such is what best for all (of their “free loaders cause”) and that one as well as any so unfortunate to be part of his history (such as documented in the post WHEN SACRIFICING IS IMPLEMENTED BY DECREE - UPDATED), should pay the price for them to operate in their new found means of apparent success and should feel “honored” to have be “selected for the cause of being used as a front for man’s oldest profession that is enabling many of these successful types to remain afloat today operating to pay off their staggering debts without having to worry about overhead, margins or even union contracts, etc. For all those who have bought into this methodology, regardless of the avenue chosen, especially if they desire to be held up as a successful business entity in today’s business environment is a stated desire, then following in the path of those of our cause is the ONLY way, just look at what happens to anyone or entity who dare defy us when we choose to marshal our forces against any such (see the post "PUTTING ON YOUR BEST FACE - UPDATED for a generic description of such methods and the previously referenced post PUTTING ON YOUR... for specific examples).
The Implication/Outlook for the Future:
Only when the cause of what’s wholesome, upright, beneficial for all not just the few and how such can be implemented in fairness is at the core of our actions will our society’s direction be altered to steer a course that different that what’s currently available that one individual correctly stated was all of the same type no matter, which side was being installed pointed out in his campaign address. The manner in, which this individual ultimately chose to focus his attention, is not the concern of this Hobby Blogger/Hobby Artist, but only what he correctly stated in the course of his early political career to while pursuing higher office before he eventually succumbed to the same practices that he articulated against (see the post RESTRICTING AND EXCLUDING). From this mass of confused ideals, goals, purpose and operating purpose, what should hopefully emerge is an individual who examined the direction of this Nation as indicated above and saw that what was being offered for the future is not what they would want someone or something “most dear” to them to be subjected to, if they truly had the “power” to decide such within their grasp, and were not just a mere puppet (or mere puppets) waiting to be manipulated, which ever direction those who were in the real positions of power determined that was best for all as long as their profits could be ensured and/or an individual who saw first hand what such circumstances can do to an individual who was unprepared for the world they were thrust into, but have learned from experiences “the hard way”, that what is typically “advertised” is not what or more importantly how things really are behind closed doors away from the public’s eye if the curtains could be drawn back ever so slightly. I learned long ago, when participating in activities for the grass roots “Lighthouse Project” in the inner city of New Haven, CT that one of the best advocates for any scenario is one who experienced something firsthand that those being appealed to is, empathy, (or the ability to identify with the circumstances everyday individuals have experienced or are experiencing). If such types have truly learned from what they were exposed too and are not simply using it as a platform from, which to aim for “the sky”, they will admit that “all that glitters is not gold” in reality but just the appearance of such to appeal to those who are easily swayed by such superficial enticements.
The individual who has truly learned from their experiences and is then willing to use such for the benefit of others will be the best for such a cause, because learning these lessons is painful and costly in terms of what’s best from one’s perspective and a great deal of time and effort is required to successfully steer their life’s journey through such uncharted waters such that the ideal individual, if honest will admit that that desire to be used as an advocate is not typically what they would first desire, but when the alternatives are considered, little choice is available to them but to attempt to allow their experiences to be used for the benefit of others when all things are given careful consideration for what’s best in today’s confused society’s objectives, especially when the needs of family's and the “real” opportunities that are available to the very young, those most defenseless of our society are focused on, that rising to the occasion even if dejected because of a previous undertaking under the wrong circumstances, when not truly prepared for what was being undertaken. If caught in such a scenario, just remember the “Gipper”, that unlikely hero, who tried and tried and tried and tried again until he met with success against all odds and made fun of as not possessing what was needed to measure up for the job ahead. He in turn strove to prove his critics wrong and he did, because he believed in simple principles not complex theories. Under the right circumstances and proper direction, the unexpected can be attained, in spite of what the onlooker may say about such a desire to pursue higher office for their own self centered ambitions who in reality can’t make any decision for anyone else because their own circumstances may be less (genteel) than what they appear to have, because the true history of those we see today cannot be in reality be validated by any credible means.
The Conclusion:
Any individual so choosing to taken on the cause of others in my opinion would be a bona fide champion with the courage to stand up to entrenched wrong-doing and the type of superficial trappings that are passed for success today that leaves much to be desired, when the proponents of such would not want their own backgrounds to be used in the manner that they are advocating as being worthy for others (or another) as long as it accomplishes their end, namely perpetual profit margins of the type referenced in the FCIC Report as being part of a “shadow banking system” [see the post THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION’s (FCICs) REPORT IN ADDITION TO TIME VINDICATES CRUSADER! (UPDATED)], which contributed to the demise of the financial system because it isn’t supposed to be even in existence and untaxed in such a manner that it has taken on a “life” (or operating financial system of its own) that can’t be affected, who, those that are benefiting from its presence see nothing wrong with as long as their apparent successful financial operation is on display and objectives are met. While the change in the Accounting Rule worked temporarily in this instances, in the next occasion, such a gimmick may not be possible for all to continue to act as is all is well in the fictional financial world build up by such types, who in turn bully others into accepting or face the consequences in order to keep their types alive and well in their tailor made societies of air brushed photos brandishing empty CEOs, boards of directors, academic elite with empty qualifications as well as established to maintain a world that based on superficiality and just glossy financial reports that don’t really convey the true manner in which operating revenues are derived but subtly convey only what’s available for “sale” if you are willing to participate in this deadly world of existence with no real end in sight for non participants or those who rather not participate in such meaningless and degrading activities not too far from the public’s eye. This neither innovative nor entrepreneurial by any standards but only an old fashion profession wrapped up in silk garment and paraded before all as a “fresh” lineup when such is far from the case. The individual who is willing to be a champion for such a cause will have been through the trenches in my opinion and have emerged slightly bruised but more importantly with a desire to be of assistance to others and concerned about the future direction when the future for those up and coming is taken into consideration. The Conservery offer of one time VOLUNTEER assistance to the individual willing to "champion" her cause that will prepare them for the cause ahead and in the end if willing to endure, victory will be the outcome as none can oppose the will of God where His chosen will NOT be consistent with ANY unless: 1) it follows the criteria outlined in this post, 2) it can ONLY be carried by one who is truly respectful of others, 3) any individual who cannot "embrace her Iife" can truly represent her in this regard, 4) NO IMPOSTOR of the type described in the To Digress description contained in the Consider the following Scenario section of the post PUTTING ON YOUR BEST FACE - EDITED AND UPDATED! will be able to comply with criteria in order to receive the voluntary assistance as it comes with high standards for receiving and being awarded such, 5) none to date has been the recipient of this offer otherwise it would have been stated on the Pages of this Blog as indicated, 6) there is no implied indication of this offer to anyone seeking "credibility" and/or simply to cover-up the past actions of others only, as it cannot be made to anyone by anyone without my (the Proprietor's) approval (regardless of what those with no back-up plan say about their originals) and 7) in the final analysis, those with their own agendas, regardless of gender will NOT be the recipient of this offer.
What’s available will being offered for the right individual with the desire to try a different styled approach to stand up to entrenched wrong-doing and emerge victorious in spite of the obstacles along the way as the cause of my dear friend Lois Bruno of the “Chisholm Family Inclusive” is taken on and upheld in order that justice will be afforded her cause as is the basic right of any individual, namely to have her (and hers) end(s) recorded as duly deserved of any in this 21st century America, this is the only criteria, the successful addressing of their cause as listed 1, to be verified 2, documented on the Pages of this Blog 3 in return for voluntary assistance to the individual so willing to pursue high office 4. THESE ARE THE CRITERIA FOR, WHICH SUCH A CAUSE WILL BE CONSIDERED, THEIR CAUSE AND THE VOLUNTEER ASSISTANCE PROVIDED, THIS IS UBLICLY OFFERED IN ORDER THAT IT CAN BE SEEN AS BEING OF MERIT AND VALID (see The Conclusion section of the post THE COST OF VOLUNTEERING (EDITED AND UPDATED for additional critical details).
