If there’s one thing I’ve noticed over the last 2 weeks to flatten the curve, it has been the way that “Boomers” get blamed for everything wrong in the world today. I’ll admit it… I’m easily triggered by this. Oh, I don’t lose sleep over it. I get frustrated by it. You see, I am a so-called “Boomer”. I was brought up in a time where our elders were respected, listened to, and admired regardless of their mistakes. I was taught that we can learn from those who are older than we are. That everyone of almost any age can have wisdom to an extent, but that our elders have more wisdom because they have actually lived through things that we had yet to experience.
This “Boomer blame” always gets me thinking about what I’ve seen and lived through in my life. Yes, I went along to get along at times during my history on this earth, but I’ve always been screaming “liberty!” since I was a rebellious teenager. I have always had that “gut instinct” to call out things that I knew were wrong. Did I do anything about it? Actually, yes. I’ve protested. I’ve spoken at large gatherings of people. I’ve written countless letters to politicians, companies, and organizations. I’ve made thousands of phone calls. I’ve withdrawn my money from big banks and placed it in small independent banks. I’ve stopped buying things from companies that are part of disgusting agendas or practices. I’ve actually done quite a lot. And, you know what? So have many other “Boomers” that I know.
So, where am I going with this? Well, hopefully I’m going to put together a coherent post that shows that *every* generation has its problems. That it’s impossible to point at one generation and blame them for everything. Blaming our elders for everything wrong in the world is just another way that the “powers-that-should-not-be” keep us divided. These monsters know that if we all started listening to one another, attempting to understand one another, and *learning* from one another it would make them (the powers) obsolete. And they can’t have that can they? Blaming someone else for everything is cowardly and makes us feel like we are the “victim”. “If only that effin Boomer would have said no to (fill in the blank) I would have such a great life!” That’s impossible. Yes, someone else’s decision can affect our lives, but it’s how *we* deal with it that matters. Do we overcome the consequences of someone else’s mistake or do we just cry, “woe is me” and wallow in self-pity and misery and think “nothing can change now”?
Every generation has had its ups and downs and guess what? There’s been an agenda behind the scenes through *all* generations. It would take days to do the research to dig up all of the “behind the scenes” garbage that has been going on in governments, giant corporations, and agencies since the ink dried on the US Constitution and Bill of Rights. These agendas are real. They are pushed on us by the media and government run schools (propaganda centers). They are shoved down our throats by pop culture and the “entertainment” industry. Yes, even the *adult* “entertainment” industry plays a part in the vast web of agendas going on behind the scenes to help placate people. Make them lazy. Divide them. Conquer them. Demoralize them.
I’m going to try and keep this brief the best I can. Below I am going to try and list the generations and some of the “good and bad” that happened during those generations. People growing up in their time always try to do the best they can. Most of the time, people just want to do “the right thing” and are fooled into doing things because it’s for “the common good”. In today’s “state of emergency” (that’s been going on since WWII) people are tricked into doing things they normally would never do. They vote for things and accept things without thinking of the long-term consequences (masking a population and shooting them full of experimental medicine while locking them in their homes for an illness with a 99.7 – 99.9% survival rate comes to mind).
The G.I. Geneneration: 1900 to 1924
President McKinley assassinated, Ford Motor Company formed, Department of Commerce and Labor created (uh oh, here we go!), Panama Canal Zone acquired, Pure Food and Drug Act and Meat Inspection act (uh oh! How did we live for over 100 years without?), FBI established
These are just a few of the things that happened during my Grandmother’s childhood. Look at the things that were created that have led to where we are now! Some good, some bad. But mostly bad.
The Silent Generation: 1925 to 1945
Charles Lindbergh flies non-stop from New York to Paris, Amelia Earhart is the first female pilot to fly across the Atlantic, Wall Street Crashes (uh oh… here we go!), The Communist Party of Vietnam is founded (uh oh! We better plan for a war?), Hitler is put into power (and yes, if we are honest, he was definitely put into power), President Franklin Roosevelt takes advantage of the depression to launch his “New Deal” (raw deal), World War II rages, Pearl Harbor, World War II ends, The United Nations is established (yikes!)
Are we seeing a trend? Things that the people had no control over happened and, of course, affected the generation to come.
The Baby Boomers: 1946 to 1964
The CIA is established (uh oh… yet another 3-letter agency. This generation had no control over this happening), NATO is established (yikes! Was it really a good idea? And look what it’s doing now!), Korean War, Vietnam War, Segregation in schools is declared unconstitutional, U.S. severs diplomatic relations with Cuba, Reverend Martin Luther King delivers “I Have a Dream” speech, The “Cold War” with the Soviet Union rages and children are taught in school to do Nuclear War drills (similar to the “mask” drills that are done now), Hatred for Russia is taught and promoted throughout this timeline as well. (Sound familiar?)
There’s so much more that went on during the Baby Boomer’s timeline. Things they had no control over and have affected all of us to this day. Just like the generations before.
Generation X: 1965 to 1979
President Johnson proposes his “Great Society” program (trust me, there’s nothing great about it… just more government power), Reverend Martin Luther King is “silenced” (by a bullet), The voting age is lowered from 21 to 18 (so we are wise enough to vote and murder other soldiers at that age, but can’t drink a beer?), Richard Nixon is elected president, President Nixon bumps elbows with the Chinese, Abortion on demand is “legalized”, President Nixon is impeached and resigns, Jimmy Carter is elected president (the economy goes into the toilet), The three-mile island nuclear plant pops it’s cork and spews radiation everywhere, Diplomatic “ties” are started with Communist China (but not with Cuba that is 80 miles away from the U.S.?)
The list goes on and on. The rain falls on the just and the unjust in *every* generation
The Millennials: 1980 to the late 1990’s
Ronald Reagan is elected President of the U.S., Ratification of the “Equal Rights Amendment” to the U.S. Constitution doesn’t have enough votes to pass, Space shuttle Challenger explodes (I actually got to see this happen in person!), Libya gets bombed because of “terrorism”, Iran-Contra (An “arms for hostages” deal is revealed), President Reagan signs the INF treaty with the Soviet Union to supposedly reduce nuclear weapons, George H.W. Bush is elected president, President Bush gives a speech: “Read my Lips, no new taxes” (a blatant lie), President Bush starts the precedent for “bailing out” huge corporations by “bailing out” almost 800 savings and loans, U.S “invades” Panama as part of the “war on some drugs”, U.S. “invades” Kuwait and starts the first “Gulf War”, Bill (Slick Willy) Clinton is elected President
With every generation there is more and more and more and MORE war and violence.
Generation Z: Late 1990s to 2010s
TWA Flight 800 Explodes off of Long Island NY, The Khobar Towers in Saudi Arabia is bombed (“Terrorists” wanted the U.S. to stop occupying their land), President Clinton gets reelected, A global economic “crisis” ensues and the Stock Market plunges, The “Y2K” computer “bug” scam is pushed by the media, government and corporations, The USS Cole is bombed in Yemen (a place we never should have been), 9/11 “happens” and the U.S. declares an “emergency” (again) and starts the “war on terror”, Anthrax “attacks”, The “Patriot Act” (thousands of pages) is mysteriously written and “passed” in just a few days, The “Department of Homeland Security” is formed, The TSA is formed
And I could go on and on and on and on and on…
If you’ve stuck with me this far, I commend you. Thank you for taking the time to read. Does anyone notice what has gone on? Has anyone noticed that things have gotten progressively *worse* in every generation? (More violence, more police actions, more invasions) Has anyone noticed that many of the things done have almost exclusively been done by government? Wars. Financial Crises. Bombings. “Agencies” formed to grab more power over people all over the world.
So, to hopefully sum this up: Yes… Boomers are at fault for some things. Maybe we should have said no more. Maybe we should have protested more. Maybe we should have done a lot of things. But, to “Blame a Boomer” for everything that we are going through right now is dishonest. The things that have been done behind the scenes over the decades has made it nearly impossible for *any* generation to stand up to it. We, the people, have had no say in any of it. Most of the time, it’s been politicians with an agenda who have continued to steal the people’s money to pay for the nightmare. The media has been right there with their shell game of lies, keeping our attention away from what’s really going on by pushing fear, division, race, LGBTQ, “trans”, the pharmaceutical agenda, and so much more.
So here’s where I am with all of this: We *must* come together. All generations. Whether you agree with someone 100% or just 20%, if we are honest, we *can* agree on one thing: What has been done over the years in the name of “emergencies” has only served those in power and has destroyed the people’s peace. Our economy. Our unity. Our love for one another. Our Patriotism. And our hope. We have been constantly “educated” about who we are supposed to hate. The worst thing? We have *all* listened. Every generation has fallen prey to the lies and propaganda that has been put into place only to keep the people confused and divided. I’m having none of it. The only thing I care about is liberty. Liberty for you. For me. And for all generations who come after us. If we don’t stop blaming each other for every problem and start *doing* something by coming together we won’t have anything left at the end of all of this. Only those at the top will have anything and they will laugh as an ignorant people who couldn’t stop pointing fingers at one another eat crumbs. The crumbs that “they” say we can have.
Anyone who can agree not to use force to resolve disputes can be in the club.
Great post!
