Day 137: 5 Minute Freewrite: Monday - Prompt: witches
I have spent a good part of my day catching up on news, mostly about cryptos, the economy, and politics. I'm going to give my opinion about some of the news items that I have heard and try to keep it to one-liners or short paragraphs.
Topic - The potential for a building culture war, Right vs. Left.
Opinion - America has been purposely divided along political, racial, ethnic, cultural, and religious lines as a divide and conquer strategy by an unknown force or world power. We have been demoralized to the point where we now call good things bad and bad things good. There will be strife, bloodshed, and a change in our way of life because of these issues.
Topic - The Potential for WW III.
Opinion - There has been and always will be wars, we are heading into a major war and have been since the end of WW II. There are a lot of rhetoric, saber rattling, and threats being voiced across the globe and armed forces from major Nations seem to be positioning themselves for the advent of war. This does not mean that there will be a war, but the moves needed to be made for a war to start have been made and lines have been drawn in the sand.
Topic - This current economic system is doomed to fail.
Opinion - Throughout world history fiat currencies have always failed. Fractional Banking and unequal measures have, for a good portion of history been illegal in most Countries, and for good reason. The economy is being highly manipulated and is totally unfair, corrupt, and indefensible. It will fail and was programmed to fail from its inception, it is by design massive theft and enslavement of the common man.
Topic - Are cryptos about to start another Bull Run?
Opinion - I have heard all kinds of different views on cryptocurrencies today. I am convinced that they represent the beginning of the new economic system that will take the place of the old one when it finally crashes. I also believe that the blockchain represents the future of the Internet, all government, and every corporation. I believe that in time everything that requires a level of trust, high security and permanent record keeping will move onto the blockchain. It is only a matter of time until mass adoption begins to take place. The key to this is knowing which blockchains will end up being adopted, and those blockchains may or may not even exist today!
Topic - Witches, What about them?
Opinion - There are Witches living among us, some of them will likely read this blog. There are several types of witchcraft and they have different belief systems and motives. The one thing that all Witches have in common is their need for a Saviour. Christ Jesus gave His life on the cross for them just as He did for me. Like everyone else in the world, I believe that they will one day give an account for their acceptance or rejection of the free gift of salvation and the eternal love of God.

Thank you @mariannewest
In countries where conflicts are ongoing, it's world war 3,4,5 etc already 🤷
Absolutely right, my wife and I watch the news and mourn for people suffering in the Countries that are already torn by war. When I see what was once a modern city that has been totally destroyed it breaks my heart. Governments do these things, unfortunately, Governments are made up of people just like us that have just been given too much power without nearly enough oversight or accountability. We all should demand to be held accountable, the higher the responsibility the greater the level of accountability required. Secrets that can affect other people negatively should be outlawed. The only way to peace is through an open society where backroom deals are impossible.
Enjoyed your write . People really are getting to know how they are exploited by the fiat money .Corruption , inflation and many financial problems can once be demolished by the use of crypto . Blockchain technology is surely going to consume a major part of society in the nearer day . Crytpocurrency is just a subset of blockchain network and we may see many wonders emerging from that technology . Every topic you wrote fetched some good information , thanks for that .
Blockchain holds a lot of promise, it also has a dark side. It is possible that if in the wrong hands and centralized, then it would be the end of freedom as we know it. Can you imagine a crypto produced by a "World Bank" that every person on the planet was forced to use to buy and sell goods, and all of our information passed through that one entity? It would be a disaster of epic proportions. 😟
Surely there would be a dark side , every coin do have another side . Really one's freedom could be nourished with the proper use of blockchain tech but the same freedom would be perished if in the wrong hands .
That's a different kind of freewrite from you. Interesting opinions.
Yes, I like to change things up and try new genres or ideas occasionally. Since yesterday was pretty much a news day for me I just decided to go with that. My background often gives me a very different perspective when viewing the world and world events.
Hey brother. I feel you on these things. People are so anxious and confused by the cultural programming that they have become either enraged and dangerous or apathetic and useless (not in an eternal sense just for now). But in spite of how things look a pray that justice rolls down like waters, and right-ness like an ever-flowing stream. Peace
Everyone has such unique responses to the freewrite prompt, including you.
Have you tried today's prompt? It could be sweeter or stickier. Give syrup a try!
