KIPPAGE: Fun Facts & Useless Information 12: The End

A NEW BEGINNING:

Is the end really going to happen for the Earth on December 21st 2012? Many times in the past, the end has been predicted for us, only to be shown as a hoax, or misconception, by those who are either out to make a quick buck, or gain control of the masses minds by their gift of gab.

In 1878, one preacher of a certain religion in the deep south had convinced a whole town that the end of the world was going to happen on a certain date, and had them give all of their possessions and money to his church for safe keeping until after “God and his minion’s would descend from the sky and destroy all those who were not worthy to be in Heaven”. He had the town dress in burial clothes, go to the cemetery and await God’s judgment. While the populace did as they were told, and went to the cemetery, the preacher and his accomplices loaded up all the goods that they could, along with the money onto several big wagons, and made their getaway. The town’s populace waited in the cemetery a few hours after the appointed time, and then several began to grow suspicious, and went to find the preacher, only to find an empty church. The preacher was located around three years later, tried and sent to prison for life.

During every war that this country, or other countries were involved in, there has always been some entrepreneur who see’s a buck to be made and takes advantage of it.

We are conditioned from the time of birth that one day “YOU ARE GOING TO DIE” and that is it. Unless, as some people believe that you will go to heaven if you follow what your pastor says. One has to be careful to choose the right pastor, there are many “Wolves in Sheep’s clothing”.


So, here are some examples of “The End”:

A man who played around on his wife, much to her distress was coming home one night after a tete’ a tete’ with a mistress, it was dark, and his wife in their three story apartment had decided to end it all by jumping out the window. Unknown to her, because it was dark, she didn’t see him on the sidewalk and jumped, landing right on him, ending his tomcat ways forever. She survived with a few bruises.

One suicidal young man was going to shoot himself in the head, he pulled out a gun in front of his girlfriend, she tried to stop him, he shot himself, the bullet went through his head, hit a water heater, bounced off of it, and got her in a two for one deal.

Two young men, driving mountain roads, drinking whiskey, and just plainly having a good time, went off a wooden bridge high over a stream. It was a 200 foot drop, the truck they were in was mangled pretty bad, but they got out of it with a few scratches, while walking back up to the road for assistance, a cougar (mountain lion) attacked and killed one of them, the other managed to get away, and get back to civilization. Upon taking a rescue crew and sheriff to the scene of the accident, the surviving young man and the crew were standing on the bridge, and the young man waving his arms explaining what happened, lost his balance and fell off the bridge, joining his buddy in Heaven.

A first class swimmer who had won many competitions, drowned on a glass of water.

A race car driver of well renown, managed to run over himself with his own race car. (It took some doing I am sure).

On June 28, 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Hapsburg throne, was assassinated in Sarajevo by a Serbian nationalist. Austria, the Archduke’s country, then declared war on Serbia. Within weeks, the major powers of Europe were mobilizing their forces. World War One had begun.

There are many examples of the end past, present, and future. It depends on people as to whether these things will come about. If we choose not to learn the lessons of History, then as it is said, we are doomed to repeat those same mistakes.

However, let’s look on the bright side:

Due to modern medicine, we now live longer, technology from many sources has improved our standard of living, (we live indoors and have enough to eat), and there is still the American dream for everyone.

There are those who will try to tell the masses that it’s all gloom and doom, and there are a lot of people who only know that, and are kept in the dark by those with the glib tongue.

Education is the most important thing a human could ever hope to gain. There is a dumbing down process in place by those with the glib tongue, I have even met an engineer who could not start a campfire, or figure out a simple construction problem, and people like him are building our cities and roads. Fortunately for us , people like that rarely attain a high standing in society.

We have many great things to look forward to, there is suppressed technology out there, that is slowly coming to light, technology that will get our proverbial shit together and make something of ourselves. Many inventors are coming out all the time with new and better mousetraps, and they are not Rube Goldberg machines.

In the near future we will be allowed to have cars that run on water, medicines that will grow all new human beings to be able to withstand the rigors and dangers of space exploration much better than our present bodies, and then when we find a planet worth colonizing, allow the human to adapt to that certain planet.

The future is in the making, and we are all a part of it. Dream, Manifest, and Enjoy.

This is not “The End” by any means, did any of you have a bit of anxiety about the last “End of the World” scenario a couple years ago? The glib of tongue people get energy from that, and also make a lot of money.

For a brighter future look to the stars it is said.


And that concludes FFUI #12, as always, I make no claims as to being the author, purveyor, pervert, liar, or originator of any of these vignettes. And if anyone thinks I am, watch out, I’ll make something up about you.

HAVE THE BEST CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR ANY OF YOU HAVE EVER HAD, AND EVER WILL IN THE FUTURE.
