Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon fired

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Tucker Carlson was fired at Fox News and Don Lemon was fired at CNN. Seems like both networks are attempting to go closer to the center in political views. We will have to see who takes their place. I think 🤔 it just proves something that’s always been a part of big business; that is, that nothing seems permanent anymore. And if you fall out of line with your boss, chances are you will just lose your job.

I would think it would be difficult to know what you can and can not say in light of your bosses opinions and a changing public perception. It would be like walking a tight rope for such people. We must also recognize that being a new correspondent like Walter Cronkite or Dan Rather was while I was growing up is quite different than being a journalist like we see on news channels more today then back when.

Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon

2 people I cant stand.

I would think it would be difficult to know what you can and can not say in light of your bosses opinions and a changing public perception.

I don't even say, "...that black guy" anymore. Could be racist since things change daily. Better to say, "...the guy in the red shirt".

How ridiculous society is becoming.

Look I wont quote your posts anymore, in fact I thought it was best to not even post in your threads if you haven't noticed.

If agreed, then dont quote mine either or copy/paste to other threads.

Courtesy of reality.

Everyone has their own reality. I am not going to always agree with your reality and you will not always agree with mine. If this site was meant for little slots or places where each person could isolate themselves it would be better to have blogs where no one can respond or to create a site where everyone can be in complete control and have no participation. This site was created for interaction. Paramahansa Yogananda said many times in his life on earth that ‘God put us here with all our differences, beliefs and views and said now get along.’ So that is part of our spiritual journey in life’s journey towards enlightenment. 😊

I think both Tucker and Lemon were fired because they could not be controlled. One was fired for being emotionally reactive, the other was fired for being calculative and revealing. Firing Tucker lead to some serious loss for FOX and firing Don Lemon probably didn't change much of anything at CNN.


Tucker Carlson: life, death, power, the CIA & the end of journalism | The Tulsi Gabbard Show


Tulsi Gabbard sits down with the most-watched cable news host in the country, Tucker Carlson. They share candid thoughts on the state of the mainstream media, why Tucker almost joined the CIA, and the powerful influence of the national security state on Congress. They open up about the temporary nature of life, the reality of death, and finding peace in God’s love, sharing a side of themselves that few people ever see.

Eric your opinion shows strongly even in your views about journalism above. I want you to know that I would have never eliminated all the facts and opinions about politics if it wasn’t for one main reason. That is this; I told everyone from the beginning it was my opinion or intuition (depending on how someone else looks at it …. That Donald Trump, is, was and has always been a crook and a pathological liar this life. So when you peddled his views about election conspiracy and fraud I had to put a stop to it all. Now it has been proven beyond a doubt that he tried to subvert our democracy and become a tyrant in our beloved democracy. He is a very dangerous man, not his soul , but his human garment he has chosen to wear this life. There are villains 🦹‍♀️ like Putin and Trump who have chosen to take the course of a villain this life. Many people are a mixture of various roles and character attributes, but there are also those who must be called on their social roles they have chosen. There are spiritual values. And you and I are able to agree on most of our common values. That is why we have remained friends. My intention is not to change your views. Not fight with you over the views/intuition I just expressed. However if we continue again in confrontation over our small differences I will delete all political views so that we can continue to support our spiritual views, without magnifying our differences. Thanks for the video above. I definitely will make time to watch it.

Hey Steve,

I don't think your views on Trump subverting democracy and becoming a tyrant are proven beyond a doubt. Relying on nation wide propaganda for the truth does not mean what you are presenting is indeed fact.

That being said, don't mind me. I'm just being a little gremlin, using your words quoted in my reply above. Hehehe. *snicker snicker*

"Everyone has their own reality. I am not going to always agree with your reality and you will not always agree with mine."

I don't think Trump or Putin are evil men either. I don't feel qualified enough to make that determination. I realize people commit evil deeds, but I don't believe anyone is born evil. There are too many unknowns for me to cast judgement and say I'd be a better man if in their position.

All I can do is work on my self and share peace.

See here, I am not suading your views on Putin or Trump- merely expressing my own. It was our inability to let go of the comments we disagreed with, and an obsessive need to prove or validate our own opinions that truly caused separation, grief or distress within the community. This disruptive practice that, "what I say is right. what you say is wrong"

And so- you did what you thought was best. Just remember the fine line between deleting things you disagree with vs allowing those things to be presented in the larger community so that collectively others may make the most informed decision.

True unity can not exist without variety.

You know I deleted all my views and validations as well so your last comment holds no water. Do you expect me to leave all your varying views and only delete my comments? You could have looked at it quite differently Eric. That is maybe I gave you a break from all the views you once held to be more or less sacred. That would be the converse conclusion.

[guest587]

Huh?

I think you're reading too far into my words. You deleted an entire section, with various comments and views by you- me and even other members here.

You did what you thought was best. This is not an attack on you.

Take a deeeeeeeeepppppp breath. Aummmmmmmmm.

 

[Jitendra Hydonus]

Ok thanks for the clarification. Ommmm

[guest587]

=P Thanks Brother.

Steve I consider you a friend and would rather not poke into the disturbed state we once drew out from the other. You can always communicate with me if you think I'm going on a polarizing tangent and I'm happy to consider how best to change course if it means we can share peace. I really appreciate the Yogananda contributions.

I have been speculating some things lately and am not sure where to post it... It's about racism, duality, alien life and even Yogananda. See... A professor came out and said only white people are racist and that you can not eliminate racism without eliminating "whiteness." Could you imagine if someone said the same thing about black people and blackness? It'd be all over the news 24/7 with people demanding justice.

Consciousness is. Those who have committed evil actions are a part of the absolute.

Racism, slavery, greed- this phenomenon is not exclusively a human experience. There are extremist and opportunist of every race, creed or religion.

And I was thinking that duality effects even the more advanced civilizations and alien life.

I mean, the information we do manage to hear about is usually referencing great wars, birth of fantastic technologies and collapse of entire society's.

So it gives me hope for the human race when I think of people like Yogananda who hail from the Babaji lineage and teach Kriya yoga.

I think of the larger self and wonder what race is Yogananda? Was he human? Or maybe it is more accurate to say there are great humans whose potential out shines even the more advanced alien life we will learn about in the coming years. 

Babaji was able to dematerialize, levitate, teleport and even take the guise of other humans.

Some people are tirelessly working towards transcending their 3D experience... Others are perfectly content exploring all that 3D dualistic experience has to offer. Neither is right or wrong. Just a known.

Paramahansa Yogananda was once holding a baby in his hands and he almost dropped it when he realized the state of the spirit in that particular body and what it brought with it from the past. So while a child may not be born evil it appears as though they can bring with them a lot of overwhelmingly bad karma from the past. Paramahansa Yogananda once told Brother Anandamoy that he carried a mountain of bad karma with him into his life. But he also said ‘ On the other side of the mountain God is bulldozing that mountain down.’ So it still is up to us to make the decision to use the bulldozing techniques and pray for God’s grace to spare us from so much bad karma we have created for ourselves, either forgotten or not.

Until we have been totally awakened, we all create oscillations at times that are disturbing 😳 to spiritual awakening of those around us. It is a sobering thought that can be used for further progress and humility in our attitudes. The disturbing 😳 vibration that people bring into their environment from previous incarnations and this one leads souls who are sensitive to such energy…to avoid their presence, and at times when they are unavoidable there is no other choice but to confront them head on.

I get it. It’s like entering a ‘China Shop’ ( pun intended) you could break something easily. In fact if you say the wrong 😑 thing you may be put in prison for life! Like a bull in a ‘China Shop’, wasn’t by accident that the saying has it origin with certain people that run things in that part of the world. But it can also apply to people who are overly sensitive  🙄  in the states also. You have to constantly be careful not to offend them.

[guest587]

Yes, I realized I made people uncomfortable because I described the cashier yesterday as a large, gay and obnoxious black man. There was no ill-meaning behind it, he was a large man- black and gay. I had a friend from years ago who was also large, gay and black- but he was a nice guy and it wasn't a thing. We joked around a lot and everything was fine. But for some reason, using the same verbiage was taken as offense because I added the word obnoxious in it. And today someone came to our house and when my family asked what happened I said a really nice muslim man was asking if he could park his car infront of our house(he was attending a neighbors party). My Mom asked why I had to mention muslim, why can't he just be a person?

I asked her... When you describe a cat- do you say. Cat. Is it a brown cat? Is it a black cat? How do you describe a dalmatian for that matter?

I realize I can't watch the news because it is so hyper focused on race and even social media is constantly perpetuating racial divide. I know there are fake accounts and nefarious characters out there with the intention to destroy a platform or political opposition. Currently one political affiliation has used the FBI to attack another and set up innocent americans as domestic terrorist. They also have people online who make you think they are on the side of exposing truth but then continue on with racist and derogatory behavior and an end goal is simply radicalization/polarization. Those that make it about race rarely question the system, the use of identity as warfare or a lack of education. We don't question where we've placed our priorities as a society, whether or not someone had a good or challenging upbringing or whether Life has yet to humble them. I really don't want to focus on peoples race or religion and it's sad to see so much energy spent attacking others and the sheer chaos identity politics has caused on the general populous. Most people wish others the right to happiness and a quality life. If you only watched the news or lived online, you wouldn't believe it (they make you think politicians are all evil or racist and those who oppose certain agendas are bigoted and in the way). You'd walk around interacting with the world with a chip on your shoulder taught to fear and hate.

Enough is enough. And there's nothing wrong with making jokes and calling people white or black, brown or yellow... Muslim or jewish. Sheesh. 

It always comes back to Love or Hate. And the news and social media seems to flame the latter. If you have white pride, black pride, mexican pride, national pride, global pride- Whatever, I don't care as long as you are choosing love and respect for all life. I'm not demanding kindness, I'm just saying don't be a dick. I realize more and more how disheartening it is to see grown people acting so overtly aggressive and stupid. It's one thing if it's a kid, which has happened to me recently... Last year black friday a kid flashed his gun and told me he'd shoot me. People walk around the city with such a hard look in this animal mind like they're ready to jump you for making eye contact and for what? It's just dumb. But I don't want to be mad at the world and I don't want to blame others with a racist attitude. It's not looking deep enough. And I choose to foster love and kindness.

I will try to give others the benefit of the doubt, but defend my self and my family to the best of my ability. A clear example of how ludicrous this is, is the recent politicization of daniel penny- who took action when he felt his life and the life of others was threatened. They tried to say he was a racist, instead of exposing him as some racist the world is waking up to the depth of corruption plaguing our justice systems, our news media etc. etc.

https://www.lawofficer.com/daniel-penny-says-he-would-take-action-again-if-there-was-a-threat-and-danger-in-the-present/

Or like the case of the woman Sarah Comrie who paid for a bike and had it stolen from her- only to have the media say she was racist and attacking the black kids who bullied her and stole her bike.

https://thepostmillennial.com/pregnant-nurse-falsely-accused-of-stealing-black-mans-citi-bike-now-in-hiding-due-to-death-threats-plans-to-sue

After a while you see how intentional a lot of these fanning of the racial flames really are...
It's so hyper focused you can't say, a gay black guy without offending someone- despite your description being factual or accurate.

[Jitendra Hydonus]

What I find more interesting than the issues you have just discussed Eric is the amount of energy you have put into what seems more cosmetic to me. I think if ‘mother’ would have questioned me for the way I described someone I would have just said to her; well we both know mother has the best way to identify people right mom? I suppose she could then say I was being sarcastic and I would grin and say ‘Yes’. And the laugh it off.

But quite frankly Eric not so long ago I grew up with a blatantly racist father and that was one reason for the divorce. So racism is very clear and apparent to me. Especially since having a past life in the south and being murdered by racists for freeing slaves it is very real to me. I can give you many examples of very explicit racism I’ve encountered all Mathis life as well. But then would make any difference to you? And racism is not just limited to color as you have said yourself above. Let’s look at the ‘racism’ that the Russians under Stalin perpetrated on the tarters after WWII no wonder Zelinski speaks of getting every inch of Crimea back.

[guest587]

Because I am tired of how much racism is kept alive, not by the people who are called racist- but by the people constantly screaming racist as a way to attack others. Its been a thing the last decade if you hadn't noticed. Did you ever call President Trump racist? My Boss thinks if he wins we will have another Hitler rounding up jewish people. Literally.

It's a little too much.

The ADL is an unelected authority that justifies its existence by perpetuating racism. And now they have the power of AI helping them. Both indoctrinating and isolating.

Social media giants are unelected authorities that have risen to power utilizing the very sovereignties their nation grant them only to deny those same freedoms to others.

And a lot of it has turned into this mess, a part of which means offending someone for speaking plainly.

It goes a lot deeper than, "better be careful what we say" there's an entire psychological warfare behind it and if you're here to tell my I'm wasting my energy I can kindly tell you your advice is unwarranted. I am simply commenting as you have- I am not as hung up about it as you think. Maybe venting a little. I am just stating my experience and sharing my views as anyone who participates on a forum might expect.

Think of it this way Eric…just asking you to give a moment of reflection. Let’s read our two scripts again. You are being patient now. Did I ever say or mean you are being hung up about it? I do think you are sharing your views and as you may have noticed your entry below gives a mixed message. On the one hand you say I’m just ‘simply commenting’ on the other hand you said that ‘I’m not as hung up on it as you think.’ Do you really know what I think? Please if you think so don’t assume that you do. This is what I think so far as I have already mentioned… “I think it is interesting that you put much more energy in a matter that I see as more cosmetic.” That is my observation only so far Brother Eric. It appears to me that like me you have some deep rooted feelings about these issues. That is what I’m attempting to point out. As to why; I have not made any attempt at conclusion. Just making observations as we often do as yogis.

It goes a lot deeper than, "better be careful what we say" there's an entire psychological warfare behind it and if you're here to tell my I'm wasting my energy I can kindly tell you your advice is unwarranted.
