that what that they know

~~~

.that what that they know.
It is that what that they know, that animates them so,
to our evident erosions so illogically so.

It is this what that they know,
buried by the what that they want us to know,
and filtered by fear that makes thinks that we know.

They know, the more of them know than then,
the more of them know the more than then.

By the they, are the us that we trust,
are the actions, inactions, powers counter on us.

They know, and neither do we.
The sooner, the later, this that that they barter us, for err, we’ll see.

Amendment XXVIII
of the Constitution of the United States
[Proof by Oath for Oath] 

Section 1.  As is requisite for various officers of government, heretofore mentioned, that they be bound by oath or affirmation to support this constitution, such shall be the requirement for any and all persons participating in the elections of said officers, and for any persons acting as agents or advisors for said officers.

Section 2.  All persons bound by oath or affirmation to support this constitution, herein noted, shall, requisite to their oath, Demonstrate their understanding of this Constitution, in a manner to be prescribed and certified by law.

Section 3. This Amendment shall become operative as of the third Congressional election following its ratification.

~~~

Reference Articles:

Article II, Section 1, Clause 8:
Before he enter on the Execution of his Office, he shall take the following Oath or Affirmation:–“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Article VI, Clause 3:
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.

Amendment IV:

Amendment XIV, Section 3:

Simply stated, this Amendment seeks to:

  1. Bind the people to “support the Constitution of the United States”, in the same way that the people whom they empower and advise, are bound to it, as a prerequisite to empowering (voting for) or advising them.
  2. Prior to being “bound by oath or affirmation to support this constitution”, persons must prove their understanding of the Constitution of the United States. This applies to all “oath takers”, providing for the same standard for officers of government and the people who make them so.

More simply, if you want to vote for a person who must take this oath, then you have to take this oath. And you, and them, must know the Constitution which you are taking an oath to support.

I am full aware that this (pretend) proposal is too commonsensical for today’s elite intelligentsia body politik to reason with, along with most of the electorate. Maybe we can incorporate this logic whilst America is ascending from the ashes.

No claims to any expertise here, rather a simple idea for America by an American.
(quick update) “Proof by Oath for Oath” means Proof of Understanding as companion to (by) Oaths, and an Oath taken for the empowerment of an Oath to take.

Ignorance… Stupid

Have you ever stopped to think how truly stupid you are! Really, look in the mirror, and you will find the greatest example of idiocy known to man. And if you think ignorance equals stupidity, then I’ve proven my point.

Ignorance is unawareness, unfamiliarity, obliviousness. It is the lack of knowledge… of something specific. Stupidity, like yours, is foolishness, inanity, futility, absurdity. Stupidity is the lack of intelligence, that is, the lack of common sense and the ability to reason. Textbook you.

Ignorance, is textbook all-of-us. Every day, I am reminded of my own ignorance, and if I were to ignore it, or think it nonexistent, or claim I am incapable of it, or attempt to hide it, well, that would not only make me stupid, like you, but it would also make me a liar, like you.

So let me just say that I am not ignorant of the reality of my own ignorance, nor am I ignorant of the true ignorance of everybody else, and with this knowledge of shared ignorance, I will at first strive to become less ignorant than I am, and second I will guard myself against the idiocy of ignored ignorance that is inherent in people like you.

If ignorance is bliss, and ignorance dismissed, then this is remiss, and knowledge is missed… and you’re stupid.

Your idiocy is only useful when you are ignorant of its purpose.

Enlightened, less ignorant. ~tdv

Search for Truth, Notes to Self

Ever growing search for understanding, ever confirming ignorance, will ever overwhelm, even overpower your mind, even heavy your heart. Take notice these potent evers, that you keep humble hold knowing the limits on your knowings, and the knowings of others.

Do not let the evers and evens of this reality dispirit the quest, though, as it is a noble, even necessary thing, enriching and defining humanness itself.

While the fleetings of attentiveness and leakings of data persist, the whole of a man mature, yeah, increasing your power over and of you, bettering expressions.

Truth, bent by time, to and from truth, merely the empirical is and was, is the ultimate object of your pursuits. Expect the consumption of an enormity will only acquire an atom of truth, and you shall have some contentment.

Always remember the relativity of truth in the environment of men, and consider the motive of truth’s deliverer, trusting first the atoms of your soul, given you at once by God, and grown by you with wisdom.

Evolution Mind

What is the question, now that truth is no longer in question?

At once, all men evolved to understand the combined knowledge of all mankind. All truths, and the wholeness of those truths, became accessible in an instant, and with little more effort than a nod. If ever it were published or witnessed, it was known.

But man maintained his identity, the property of himself, and only by will would he give of his private mind and state. And the child, his innocence was kept until adulthood, where he joined the knowing in nature’s new rite of passage.

Worldwide chaos and perceived psychosis were the initial reactions to these new powers of the mind. Quickly in the emotional train came euphoria and fear, gratitude and regret, relief, surprise, and anger.

Anger inspired inevitable and violent action, as the deed truths of evil men materialized. People at every level of society, and in every society, banded and armed to serve justice on the worse examples of humanity, or better said, the inhuman. All manner of filth was cleansed from this planet in those days, until the evil banded and fortified. It continues.

Despotic regimes across the world were toppled by their peoples as the truths of liberty were revealed. Even so-called free nations were not immune to the political upheaval. Vast majorities of elected and other public officials either resigned or were recalled by the people, and entire agencies were made obsolete.

American government, multitudes of government, came to be redefined by their original and only true purpose, defenders of life, liberty, and property.

Commerce underwent profound structural change. Educational and informational products and services became moot overnight. Entertainment industries driven by propaganda and false agendas were wiped out by an intelligent market.

Much of the business world transformed, in reality, into sellers of time. People knew how to make everything, but didn’t necessarily have the time or interest or wherewithal in doing so. Buying product became buying time.

Institutions of learning morphed into institutions of reason and logic. Unlimited knowledge needed the wisdom to tolerate it.

Long-held profundities were reduced to clichés, platitudes.

Now, we have begun, as knowledge does not equal wisdom or paradise, and evil still exists, and liberty must continue at cost.

There remain many mysteries, many obstacles, and man continues his quest.

God has yet to reveal His purpose in this evolution.
