Good morning, this is Val Campbell, and as you may know , I'm livimg in Cle Elum, Washington. We've brought in a lot of studio equipment and we're getting that set up and integrating it piece by piece, but we haven't made the conversion over into the location that we think we're going to use as a studio. It's still under advisement a little bit. We want to be mobile, so we're going to do that in our fifth wheel trailer.
Um so anyway, we're in the process of that., I've got construction computers on one side and consulting computers and uh audio video computers and uh computers I use for my uh authorship, writing my books, and then I've got broadcasting equipment right in front of me. And you can see lots of that behind me in my office. And of course, piles of Amazon boxes. And Jeff Bezos sent us a a note the other day that we're his new best friends and he's adding us to his Christmas card list.
We've been doing so much shopping at
Amazon. NO, I'm just teasing. So, um there's a subject and first this is this is hard truth. Today we're going to really get into some things and that's what we do here. We talk about the hard truth whether people like it or not.
If we are going to make some kind of progress as a society, we have to do this on an individual basis. We have to change the way we are running our families and our situations. And um that that's a whole difficult conversation because the truth is everything that we believe, everything we see, everything we are doing, the way we run our lives and our belief structures, it's all wrong. And to address that, to deal with it, to sit and focus on this and actually deal with reality creates cognitive dissonance. And dissonance is is that confusion and that disorientation that happens to human beings
when they are faced with the fact that everything that they believe, their basic belief system is wrong. somebody's been lying to them. And what usually happens there is that people don't modify everything.
They don't sit down and put it on the table and say, "Okay, I just need to go a totally different direction." They tend to double down on their beliefs. They argue with it. In even in the face of absolute proof, human beings will deny the reality and focus on their belief structures because those are reinforced by all of their authority figures and their peer their their peers in life. So when we talk about these hard things, I don't want anybody to think that we're not compassionate for the victims or the victim's families. Definitely we are. These are horrific events that we're going to talk about and they're brutal, but we need to face them and we need to understand that everything we're hearing from the media and the government and all the pundits, it's all not right. they are representing their own um monetary path.
So when this happens uh you know one of the things was just a couple of days ago Charlie Kirk was shot. He was murdered instantly the governor of Utah jumps on the uh before the the cameras and says this is a political assassination. They didn't even have any any evidence or any information on this yet, right? But he's going to represent his path to money is to is to promote this as a political situation. Somebody else jump says, "Well, this is religious persecution." That's their path. And you know, somebody else says, "We need to have committees in Congress. We need to form a hearing."
That's how they make money. No, none of this deals with the root cause and the issue, how to prevent this. And we've had these kinds of events happen over and over and over and over again through all of history, but especially in the United States in the last 40, 50 years because we have created an environment that manufactures monsters and we don't like dealing with that.
To be continued in next post.
