Thinking Out Loud

Environmental Considerations
Operating Temperature: 55°F to 78°F(12.78°C to 25.5°C)
Operating Humidity: 40% to 50%, non-condensing
Storage Temperature: 73°F(22.78°C)
Storage Humidity: 45%, non-condensing

I can operate outside those ranges, of course. Those are just what I'd ideally prefer. June had some record-breaking temperatures here in the north Georgia mountains followed by a cool snap with lower humidity. Now, the heat and humidity are back. I keep telling myself September is less than two months away.

I'm getting the impression that something disruptive is coming. According to this article, the Confederate flag flap helps not just radical, left-wing progressives in America but Islam, too, by eroding the 10th Amendment. The president recently referred to Islam as "our religion". Apparently, he feels confident enough to admit being a muslim in public, a fact he used to try to hide and even actively denied. The pope's been running around everywhere saying a lot of things like he's campaigning for something. The Supreme Court in the U.S. has openly violated the Constitution. The list goes on. The forces of darkness are moving very transparently in some cases. What are they planning?

Since Disney bought Star Wars, I've seen a ton of Star Wars "news" stories. Of course, Disney works behind the scenes to place those stories into the news. They're part of their advertising effort. It's all a unified campaign to make them more money. Those stories are not spontaneous. When I see all the stories about the pope, I recognize it as part of a global campaign. When I see things like the recent Supreme Court decision and the bizarre flag thing, I recognize them as pieces in a larger plan. Why do the flag thing now? It has nothing to do with racism. It's an attack on American values, etc. Why flex the muscle to make that particular attack at this time rather than earlier or later?

The Patriot Act appeared within days of September 11, 2001. Metaphorically, it was sitting in a drawer waiting to be used by the forces of darkness. Are all these global attacks on freedom leading up to something even more drastic than the Patriot Act?
