Oh, well.

Doug Kenline wants to be saved. He doesn't want to help whoever's going to save him, he just wants to be saved. And whoever is going to save him will have to know all the tricks that lifeguards use to keep the drowning perople from taking them down too. Because the biggest obstacle to saving Doug Kenline is Doug Kenline.

Doug wants me to have a counter on my site. He put one there when he set it up, but right away it started badgering me about money. Piss off, I said to it, and killed it. I could probably find a free one, but I really just don't care enough. Doug likes to make things out about people that they are hiding things by not disclosing things. That's extremely simplistic thinking. There might be a thousand degrees of differing reasons somebody doesn't mention something, but in his tiny little narrow "the IRS is eating my lunch so I can't be competent at anything until it's over" world, Doug will never hear any of them because he's not listening.

I can understand why Mike Bodine (of WTP) thinks blogging is worthless. When you have the idly curious badgering you for details that mean absolutely nothing to anyone's survival, and accusing you of ill intent before you've even refused to "share", it's gotta be for many people to think that somebody needs a spanking and a lecture on how to mind his own business.

Especially if he's in the middle of a fall into oblivion because he ignorantly jumped off a cliff one day without a plan.

Yeah, that's definitely somebody who is entitled to tell everyone else what to do.

"Tell me how to do things, Doug, your own life working out so well and all...."

But if you listen really carefully to what Doug is actually saying, it isn't that he's interested in you or what you have to say about things in general at all. He's just hoping to God that somebody, anybody, will post his salvation from the IRS.

You're the Man, Doug. You're everyman. Metaphysically, there is only one man, the Archetype, in infinite manifestations. Each of us is him, each of us is One within many, and each of us is the One. Whatever you need done, you can do it.

But not if you won't do it. Not if you waste your life waiting for the miracle. Not if you need somebody else to save you.

You know Why?

There is no one else. You're it. You're all you've got. And you won't do it. You'll sit there in your self-imposed martyrdom and be a victim of one, just like so many so-called patriots, past and future, because you won't do what it takes.

I'm not talking about MyOwnHomeBiz here.

I could show you how to make a good living completely off the books, working within the patriot movement full-time. But I just don't see from your writings so far that you would do what it takes. You'd belittle the idea, you'd find some dirty name to call it, like "sales" or "patriot-for-profit".

Let me ask you something, buddy... Is WTP saving you? Is anyone from WTP even responding to you? Or do they just listen while you talk and then get off the phone and back to whatever they were doing?

Nobody can save you from the IRS. You have to become the belligerent claimant in person and break open a bunch of books, learn to listen rather than complain, pay attention rather than criticize, and somehow, don't ask me how, develop the discernment you appear to either be without or to have neglected for so long.

Admit it: Step One: you don't know what to do.

And if that's true, then you are not competent to judge anybody's instructions except by due diligence. Certainly not by opinion.

I am blogging for the people here, Doug, for I am not just talking to you. I'm on a blog, maybe it's read by a few people, maybe they will hear this message and be encouraged to pass it along. The message is simple.

Take responsibility for where you are and how you got there. And then for how you're going to get past it.

I can tell you this much. So long as you are feeling sorry for yourself and worrying about your silly car, I can't help you, because you just aren't ready to be helped to help yourself.

So cool it with being so critical of everybody. Nobody was born to take care of you.

Grow up.
