Secrets


There’s an old saying that three can keep a secret if two are dead. That’s one extreme. On the other end the government did a pretty darn good job of keeping the development of the nuclear bomb secret. It’s amazing what war time powers, unlimited money, isolation, and compartmentalization can accomplish. 


I’m sure there are currently projects on-going with that same kind of secrecy. Never mind why I’m sure. 


Setting that aside, I think we are entering a time when more and more secrets will come out. I’m not talking so much about secret military projects but political and business secrets. A fair amount of information will come to light through the legal system. While the justice system grinds on slowly, it grinds very fine. Some long running major cases are coming to their natural end. It doesn’t matter to me which way politicians lean. If they are doing bad things I want their misdeeds to come to light. 


There’s an old saying that you don’t want to know how the sausage is made. Personally I want to know what goes into those pig guts. 


Financial stresses have brought a lot of businesses practices to light. Looking at things like bank failures shows how badly some major institutions are run. These guys are supposed to be pros? Don’t even get me started on crypto. We’ve been conditioned to accept a lot of BS from big companies. The conditioning is wearing off.


Pharmaceutical and medical companies have feet of clay. They’ve had some embarrassing things come to light. Once you accept it’s not about health care but about making huge obscene piles of money it makes sense.


We seem to be in an almost cosmic alignment where a lot of secrets are coming to light at the same time. It won’t happen overnight and there will b some chaos. However, I bet in the end we come out stronger with more protections for the little guy. 


-either that or some elites get strung up on lamp posts by their intestines.

  1. 4th turnings are chaotic and messy.

    But I do enjoy your optimism about the little guy having more protections.

    Never in history has that shown up but it's nice like communism producing anything more than mass starvation and executions "For the Revolution" and all that.

    Often its simply OUR JOB to protect our families from evil lenders and bad foods and such.

  2. How long did the consumer eat rat parts in their sausage before ethical practices caught up to them? I'm pretty familiar with secrets. Without them the political machine would not function properly, however the kind of secrets you're referencing are the kind that mislead and cause chaos. Civil disobedience can be messy, hanging the elites by their intestines is messier, effective, but messy.
