BELOW IS A EMAIL FROM CHRIS

I hope you don’t mind me asking you both about this. I figured you are good people to ask though:

Is it possible to be politically informed and be happy?

Sometimes I wish I could just bury my head in the sand like about 90% of Americans. I often refer to them as TADA (Typical American Dumb Ass). Sometimes I just wish I would stop paying attention to the news.

I think you guys generally agree with me on politics. You guys do seem happy.

RESPONSE FROM SCOTT
Chris,

Scott Bolan here from our Yahoo account.

Yes it is entirely possible to be happy and aware at the same time.

I am very aware and informed, yet pay very little attention to the news.

“When you understand the root, you understand all of it is blossoming.”

News is blossoming of, usually, bad fruit.

And it can drain your energy.

The key to both happiness and awareness is: Work On Your Self.

Strengthen, Empower, Rejuvenate, Educate, and Center yourself.

Then you are stronger and less susceptible to “media drain” where the Liberal, Sensual-oriented and progressively- Communistic media drain your energy, hope, and motivation.

Also, the stronger, more able, and peaceful you become, the more you can influence those around you in your circle of influence – family, friends, coworkers, etc, – to vote genuinely conservative. Not by preaching at them, but by being the type of person that “knows” – it tends to rub off on others and they want to know more and emulate you. This is of course not sought directly, but is a by-product of self-mastery.

All of us are magnets. Conservatives and Libertarians tend to be anti-stupid magnets. Also, Yates and I both firmly yet with sensory-acuity work in our local areas of influence, whether it be city hall, school boards, etc. Not in an activist sort of way, but in an energetic and influential way.

So, focus on Personal responsibility and achieving your goals, the rest will take care of itself. The masses won’t wake up, but a small minority of those like us can be the antidote.

Cheers,

Scott Bolan

RESPONSE FROM YATES

Well Said Scott. I will add my two cents worth. We are all being bombarded all the time by the media whether directly via radio, television or the internet or by those who have bought the media hype. The vast majority of the information is about FEAR. See tomorrow’s newsletter for more detail. TO BE HAPPY you must DESIRE to be happy. As you become more and more aware, so will you initially, become more and more frustrated at the stupidity you see every day and not only in Politics. As you know I am out in the world everyday as most of you are. I take every opportunity to speak and speak with authority and clarity by making predetermined statements which I work on or predetermined questions which I have also prepared. I do not expect a discussion nor do I necessarily want one. I am just responding or putting out MY OWN SOUND BYTE. For example:

Yesterday at lunch a young man started telling me about a movie/documentary (propaganda in my opinion) that he had seen which PROVED the OUR GOVERNMENT was responsible for the World Trade Center attack. I could have argued with him on facts or observation. It would have been frustrating for you as it would have been for me as you know that his mind is made up, HE THINKS.

So I asked:

Then you are saying that the Muslims had nothing to do with it? No Response.

Which party in the government led this attack, the Democrats or Republicans? No Response

What about the other planes? No Response

Who exactly in the government benefited from the attack and how? No Response

I then shut up.

If you do not respond in some manner, then you are agreeing with them. However, the response does not have to be arguing with them. It can simple be a statement that you do not believe it. Your actions will have more impact that words.

When I was in the electrical store the other day to buy a 40 amp circuit breaker, I ask the clerk if he heard about the Onion farmer on the national news explaining the REGULATONS on his onion business. He farms 1800 acres of onions. They require that when the onions which are unloaded from the fields onto a cement floor and then loaded on to conveyor for processing, should an onion then fall from the conveyor back onto the cement floor, IT MUST BE THROWN AWAY.

In short order, everyone in the store (employees and customers) were gathered around the checkout counter.

I simply said VOTE and left.

DID YOU SEE WHERE “The Original Argument” a book putting the Federalist Papers into today’s language went straight to the TOP of the BEST SELLERS List. I think that is great and I assisted by buying one.

TOMORROW
