Earnest thoughts on New Year’s Day 2024. Do you really want a better year?

Navigating Life's Challenges and Embracing Direct Democracy in 2024

Hello folks, it's Earnest Mann, welcoming the New Year with a bang! In today's episode, I delve into the essential topic of improving your life in 2024. I've been at this for three years, trying to impart wisdom and crucial ideas, but it seems there's still much to cover.

Confronting the Realities of Democracy and Personal Responsibility

I discuss the hard truths about democracy, specifically addressing the Patriot Act's implications and our illusions of freedom. We live under the gaze of corporate oligarchs, and it's high time we recognize this. The episode challenges listeners to question their beliefs and the state of our nation, emphasizing the need for personal responsibility and direct democracy.

Debunking Misconceptions about International Conflicts

Moreover, I touch on the current youth's misguided perceptions regarding the Israel-Palestine conflict. It's a call for realistic understanding and shedding naive viewpoints. This discussion aims to enlighten listeners about the complexities of international politics and the importance of historical context.

Transcript
since this is New Year's Day:

00:57 having a larger audience than Joe r Rogan relax Joe that was a joke or you listen to the first 2 or 3 minutes of the program but having the attention span of a canary decide it's far too deep to follow I must admit though I love a good mystery so here's what I'm asking you listen to the entire episode all the way through a whopping 10 or 15 15 minutes of your time and after that even if I pissed you off show me that you actually exist and care about your life and where the country is going by leaving a

01:44 comment or asking a damn question you have nothing to lose but the quality of your life in the next year if you don't you'll notice at the very beginning I I didn't hope you'll have a better New Year because blind hope without realistic evidence for it is and always has been the last refuge for those with endless excuses and failure I believe that was voler don't quote me on that anyway we were told by well-meaning people several years ago how devastating The Patriot act would be to our democracy and other than a few people

02:35 here and there holding signs it was overall you know the sound of crickets the wealthy corporate oligarchs who actually run this country got what they wanted now you stand huddled quivering in your boots worried about how much the government is prying and spying into your personal life you piss your pants every time you're reminded of how much Google spies on your personal life and that its corporate subsidiary and lap dog the US Government Can through their employees the police come bursting into your home at any time like Nazi Storm

as much sense as Jews in the:

04:14 today supporting Hitler and actually believing that national socialism is or was a good idea still want to believe you live in a democracy try for forming a serious Union with national strikes try demanding that our government protect our Southern border from the ongoing Invasion try demanding a 21st Century National Health Care system that doesn't put the average working American in huge amount of debt or wipes out the entire Savings of families with serious illness try demanding that every time you do protest you're not automatically

05:08 surrounded by heavy armed Thugs who can't wait to bust your head fire tear gas or shoot you dead try demanding that the government which is currently around $35 billion in debt and pays around a quarter of all tax revenue to pay off that debt stop using our money like an irresponsible teenager with an ATM card for anything and everything around the world except what needs to be taken care of at home such as getting the homeless off the streets and into mental facilities affordable housing a crumbling and embarrassing ing

06:00 infrastructure system and a National Train system that Bulgaria could laugh at and lastly but certainly not least Tred demanding a total reworking of a criminal justice system that is so transparently corrupt so utterly fixated on oppressing and imprisoning citizens you know such as people gunned down by cops or going to prison for stealing of minor items at Walmart yet corporate and business criminals get endless appeals and minor jail time if they're even prosecuted at all and all at tremendous public expense

06:48 of the public court system the Donald Trump criminal circus daytime soap opera show being a perfect example of putting their corporate Buddies the lobbyist and some senators and congressmen in prison I could go on and on this is only the tip of the corruption Iceberg but here what I'm saying sincerely and effectively try to take action such as nationalized resistance action and you'll find out really quick just how free you really are what it boils down to is you basically have two options you can stay in this country and

07:41 fix these problems or you can leave and go to a place that doesn't have this kind of endless unpleasant because the oligarchs who actually run this country have zero interest in fixing it as a matter of fact since they profit so much from it they want to keep the current system in place to use the great words of Malcolm X by any means necessary this is a situation I talk about on my website the tab that says mapping your future which is in the episode description below and I'm going to talk about that in a moment but first

08:30 I just wanted to touch very superficially on the very big problem we have here in the states the student protest I would be really nice using the extremely feminized vacular of our time that is to say in the parlons of our time telling you how unbelievably mystifying it is of the current position of the nation's youth concerning their incredibly ignorant position on the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians but it I'm a realist and that dictates that I call it what it actually is incredibly stupid the general misguided idea is

09:21 that Israel is evil and that they are oppressing those poor Palestinians the fact is at least for the last 50 years Israel has extended the olive branch over and over again and the principally Islamic Palestinians who absolutely hate Jews want only one thing Jewish Annihilation and just in case you wanted to know although I'm not Jewish I've been told I'm a hell of a Minch so to these incredibly historically stupid um I mean misinformed students I say this go live in an Islamic State go live there without any financial support from

10:16 friends or Mommy and Daddy and live under caliphate rule live there for at least a year and I can predict practically with 100% accuracy that within that year or less your ignorant ass will be on the phone begging to come back to the US and you will fully understand exactly just how stupid you were as many young people do when they get older is Israel perfect of course not but the state of Israel is the closest thing to any kind kind of democracy and human rights in the Middle East at all and historically speaking the Muslim

11:07 Arabs have always hated and with the Jews the Muslim Arab Palestinians are not the poor pressed good guys here but the ideologically insane aggressors and if you actually lived there and had a reasonably functional brain that truth would be come very clear to you young people students please listen if you want to improve things in the United States and perhaps in other westernized countries as well a great starting point would be establishing a government based on direct democracy just remember the try two things I talked about earlier guess what

11:58 they're not going to give it to to you without a fight as opposed to our current representative democracy all of your time youthful passion and that energy would certainly be well spent in that direction but in very short I can tell you this without reservation socialism is not the answer and Islam which is at its core is basically soci op AIC sure as hell is not either now finally getting back to the two options I mentioned earlier staying or leaving the US I would like to take a brief moment with a message for our

12:47 sponsor you now if you found this episode interesting or informative I would really appreciate it if you would hit the Subscribe and notification if ation Bell it really does help the channel grow if you want to contact me or offer some support you can do so from the links in the description below well even a cup of coffee would be greatly appreciated and now back to the show there are definitely pros and cons in each case and I fully understand that leaving the US is simply not an option for many people due to their personal

13:33 circumstances but one thing that must be understood is that there is a huge difference between not leaving the us simply because you can't and not leaving because you don't want to I'm going to wrap things up by telling you this I am doing all this because I want you to have a better year and a better life based on that what I'm also going to tell you is that generally speaking things are not only going to get worse here in the good old USA they're going to get a hell of lot worse and for many of you out there you

14:19 will simply be in a State of Shock because what is coming most Americans simply have not experienced before and for the most part they are not only you know not practically prepared for what's coming they are not mentally prepared and as this part of the subject is far beyond the scope of this episode if you want to dig a little deeper and actually find out more about what I'm talking about you know how to reach out to me in the description below I know a great deal about this subject but it's like the old saying you

15:03 can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink I'm hoping that since you've listened to this it might inspire you to at least investigate what the hell I'm trying to tell you it might make you a little thirsty as I said earlier I want to offer you a better year not hope to have one because blind hope without realistic evidence for it is and always has been the last refuge for those with endless excuses and failure until next time this is earnest wanting your health wealth and good luck in

About the Podcast

The Earnest Mann Show
A truly unique broadcast, Unabashedly celebrating unwokeness.
One of the many things I enjoy doing in life, is helping other people the best way I know how, by offering people a sanctuary of sanity in a world gone mad. I do this by offering a different perspective, a realist perspective on just about anything and everything. You see, I have found, that there can be amazing relevant connections in our everyday life, from very unlikely sources, meaning people that on the surface you might think would absolutely have nothing in common with you, but having a discussion with them, ended up benefiting my life, just with the exact information, and at the exact time I needed it! I'm telling you, you will be amazed at how communications with many life experiences can positively affect and improve your life! That is why I created The Earnest Mann Show, a place where we can talk about anything. From history, to current events, economics, politics and religion, to sex with space aliens, you name it, the topics for discussion are only as limited as our imagination, and your input, so leave a comment, because your opinion matters, in this big beautiful world we all share.
