    A review of Perception by Lianne Downey

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    Mar 29, 2026

    It is the end of the month, and time once again for our monthly review series. The month of March features a review of Perception by Lianne Downey, but before we begin, here is a disclaimer.

    Disclaimer:

    The following review contains spoilers, so I recommend supporting the official release before reading this, or any other review on the novel.

    Now without further ado, let’s get into it.

    Overview:

    Perception is a 2024 American novel by Lianne Downey, the first in her psychics and aliens series. The story follows Minda Blake, a young psychic remote viewer who is contracted by “Blackthorne,” a private government contractor, and offshoot of the U.S. navy tasked with locating debris from alien space crafts before they are able to get into the wrong hands, and become public knowledge.

    Minda, affectionately called Min throughout the novel, is very content with her job at Blackthorne. She shares a San Diego apartment with Amrita, one of her co-workers at Blackthorne, and her job is satisfying for the most part. That is until the secrets she is obligated to keep by contract starts weighing on her health.

    Plot (spoilers):

    While out searching for the fragment of an alien spacecraft in the desert one night, Minda suffers a head injury when Wade, one of her co-workers pushes her off a sand dune. Enroute to the hospital, Minda has a dream, more like a premonition of Gramma Julene, her deceased grandmother, who is happily in the company of one Reverend Ben. This is the first of several premonitions that Minda has of Ben throughout the novel.

    Minda is now on sick leave from work, resting in the Michigan town of Veenlanden. While having lunch at a diner one day, one of the waitresses named Agnes tells Minda about the heroism of Garritt Vanderhoeven, their ace chef who survived a plane crash in the Amazon rainforest, and rescued dozens of passengers, mostly Ecuadorians from certain death.

    Garritt is from a conservative Dutch background, and is battling the demons of his flawed upbringing. At the job, he is very close with Juan, his Mexican teenage co-worker who will soon find himself at the center of a massive controversy.

    While recovering in Michigan, Minda begins to feel the guilt of her obligations. She soon starts questioning the ethics of keeping the existence of aliens from the public, and decides to betray Blackthorne and go public with the space debris she found in the desert. But before Minda could expose Blackthorne’s secret, Juan is arrested by the police.

    Not long after Juan’s arrest, Luciana, Juan’s pregnant girlfriend shows up at the diner, looking for him. When they tell her that Juan is in jail, Luciana says that she already checked, and he’s not there. If the police don’t have Juan, who does?

    Minda speculates that Juan may have the missing space debris, and that the officers who arrested Juan were actually undercover Blackthorne operatives tracking the whereabouts of the fragment. Luciana seems to think that Juan may be with Bobby Lee, a local new-age cult leader and conspiracy theorist.

    And so, as a blizzard threatens to plummet them into oblivion, Minda convinces Garritt to drive her in search of Bobby Lee. Minda and Garritt spots Bobby Lee in the storm, but as soon as Bobby Lee sees Minda sitting inside Garritt’s truck, he warns Garritt to stay away from her, and then he disappears.

    As the blizzard rages on, Garritt and Minda are forced to seek shelter at Garritt’s house. While there, Minda has a premonition of Wade’s body lying face down in the snow, and it is not immediately clear to her as to whether or not Wade is alive or dead, or if this is an event that’s yet to occur.

    She is also forced to confess to Garritt, who she is, and where she works. After all, if she wants him to help her, she is going to have to trust him somewhat.

    She also tells him that she plans on exposing their discovery in the desert because the public has a right to know, but also that the space fragment is missing, and that if Juan doesn’t have it, then he probably gave it to Bobby Lee.

    Not only that, but if the officers who arrested Juan were truly undercover Blackthorne operatives, then Blackthorne must also realize by now that the fragment is missing.

    She says that they have to go back out into the blizzard to continue their search for Juan and Bobby Lee, and he obviously thinks she’s crazy at this point, but he agrees to go with her anyway.

    While they are driving through the blizzard, a military chopper lands in the middle of the storm and captures Minda, separating her from Garritt who narrowly escapes, and it seems like their cause is a lost one.

    Garritt, despite suffering an injured leg was able to track down Bobby Lee’s church, housed inside the back of a diner, and decides to go there.

    Bobby Lee hands Garritt an address, about an hour drive outside of town, and Garritt suspects that that’s where they must be holding Juan, but Bobby Lee doesn’t really say much more than that.

    Garritt decides to drive an hour in the middle of a blizzard with an injured leg to the address that Bobby Lee gave him, based mostly on a hunch, and arrives at an old abandoned house with all the lights out. With one good leg, he is able to break inside the house to save himself from hypothermia.

    Juan is not there, but Garritt notices a cage where he suspects they must have held Juan. He suspects that they must have moved Juan to another location after the heater broke, and it became too cold inside the house.

    Despite all of that, Garritt soon falls asleep on an old couch where he has a dream that would explain his undying loyalty to Juan. Then he is suddenly awakened by the sound of someone entering the abandoned house.

    As the unforgiving blizzard rages on, Agnes begins to worry about Garritt’s whereabouts as she sees it is getting late. She is able to find out where he is by tracking his phone.

    She gets a bad feeling about all this, and calls Sam, another of their co-workers. The two girls formulate a rescue plan that involves jacking her brother’s truck while he sleeps.

    They arrive at the abandoned house just in time to see a group of men taking Garritt away with his head covered. Agnes and Sam trails them in her brother’s stolen truck to the location of another house, and starts calling everyone she knows, telling them to call their friends.

    Meanwhile inside that house, Garritt finds Juan alive. They are being held together inside the basement. Garritt is soon taken upstairs only to see that the house is actually a luxurious mansion. Garritt is further shocked to discover that the house is owned by Senator Volkort Vanderhoeven, his estranged father.

    The senator explains to his son that his intention was to save Juan, but the plan went awry. He knows about the missing space fragment, and believes that humanity should come together to protect themselves from an alien invasion, much to Garritt’s surprise, who is shocked to hear his Dutch conservative christian father talk about believing in aliens.

    Sam and Agnes soon arrive at the senator’s doorstep with a whole posse of their own as well as Juan’s loved ones, and also the news media in tow, and Juan is safely rescued.

    Garritt chooses to stay behind after they are all gone, and is utterly disgusted when he discovers a scandalous little secret about his father that further invalidates his flawed upbringing.

    Meanwhile in San Diego, Minda comes face to face with Reverend Ben from her dreams. It turns out that not only is he actually real, but also a client of Blackthorne’s. They have a heart-to-heart that changes Minda’s perspectives, and gives her a renewed sense of purpose.

    Once she is back in Michigan, she uses her psychic powers along with the help of Juan, who turned out to be psychic after all, to remotely track the fragment back to Bobby Lee.

    Haunted by the demons of his own flawed upbringing, Bobby Lee is now flying a private plane in inclement weather to take the fragment to sell to the highest bidder. Sleep deprived, he begins to hallucinate, and soon crashes into the Colorado Rockies, where he is presumed dead.

    Minda and Juan become compromised from being in Bobby Lee’s messed-up head. Garritt and Agnes, worried they may either die or go insane, call Blackthorne for help. They soon arrive on the scene and take them to a state of the art atrium, where they recover inside a botanical greenhouse.

    When Minda and Juan recover, they are briefed of Bobby Lee’s plane crash. It turns out that the rose-shaped atrium in which they have found themselves is really a training campus for many ethnicities around the world who are preparing to become intergalactic peace ambassadors at some point.

    For their courage and loyalty, Minda, Juan, Garritt, and Agnes are invited to train at the atrium, but are warned that they would have to keep the secret of their daily whereabouts from their loved ones while they are in training, until the world is ready for the aliens to reveal themselves.

    While there, they are introduced to the ambassadors of an alien race called the Oraylians. As Garritt bonds with one of the Oraylian women, it begins to seem highly probable that he…

    Something for the readers to ponder on for the sequel.

    Review:

    The world building is totally on point with this one. The narrative had gotten off to a slow start that felt like chicken scratch to my ADHD brain. But as you go along, you begin to discover that this novel is ADHD-friendly after all, with Downey dropping pointers along the way from the perspective of each character. Then the plot slowly builds to a crescendo that makes it all the more worth it in the end (or long before).

    I see a lot of myself in Garritt despite our difference in socio-economic backgrounds, particularly as it relates to choosing a path that may seem wayward in comparison to the lot of one’s birth, which makes him the most relatable character to me.

    I also doubt we’ve seen the last of the senator, and I anticipate a lot more character developments, and world building in the sequel as the clash of ideologies promise to come to a head.

    Finally, this work of fiction gives you the feel that psychics and aliens are real. Not in an immersive way that pulls you into their world, but in a way that suggests that they are already a part of ours. It provokes speculation into what’s really possible, and inspires exploration into the unknown.

    I give this one a four out of five roast beef sandwiches, and I’ll see you on the next one.

  • The disgusting practice of fake job postings

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    Apr 13, 2025

    Have you ever applied for a job, then when you follow up for an interview, you are told that the position has already been filled? It’s either that or they don’t even bother to reply.

    Do you find that this happens a lot more often than normal? Is it just you, or is something else going on not too far beneath the surface that might not readily cross your mind?

    Many companies have a practice of uploading a job posting to your typical search site, but they are not currently hiring for the position. So then why even post if they are not ready to hire?

    The most common reason given by news reports covering the topic is that employers want to get a feel of the market just to see how many people are in need.

    Although I am certain they must get a giant ego trip out of feeling depended upon for basic human sustenance, the primary reason for them doing so is so they can have an aggregate of potential applicants to pull from in the event of an emergency vacancy within their company.

    And while that is understandable, the bait and switch element of that hiring practice poses many undue hardships for job applicants, including but not limited to; applicants feeling like they wasted their time when they could have applied elsewhere, mounting frustration from being unable to differentiate between real and fake ads, it creates the need to compete more intensely than normal often pushing ethical boundaries, especially if you have many little mouths to feed, and last but not least, a deferral of hope that sickens the heart, causing many applicants to give up, the worst of them all, especially if they have been hungrily job hunting for a while now.

    The thing to keep in mind is that employers do not care about your needs. They will always act in their own best interest. Perhaps I should say that they will NEVER act in your best interest. They HATE you. If this doesn’t prove it, I don’t know what will. Why would anyone want to work for an enemy unless they were a sycophantic masochist?

    As a sidebar, if you have many little mouths to feed, you really shouldn’t be working for anyone. I have literally seen pregnant women get fired in the middle of winter.

    This statement is not meant to excuse accountability if someone deserves to get fired, but it simply supports the notion that accountability can be redirected to securing sustainable income outside of employment.

    Which is why I keep emphasizing that one must remain resilient and eke out a living based on the gifts one was born with. Imagine how many hurdles you could dodge just by remaining committed to this principle. Imagine how much red tape wouldn’t even phase you.

    Your world would have been different, and with that new world comes a host of new problems. As bad as those problems might be, getting the runaround and having someone waste your time would not be one of them.

    Sending out multiple resumes hoping that at least one of them bites your bait would definitely not be one of them. Not only that, but you would have the necessary resources to put out those much bigger fires whenever they do arise.

    There are plenty of amazingly gifted and talented people who are asleep at the wheel. Do you not know who you are? Did you truly believe that nature formed your bodies only for it to be broken by a disgusting bunch of sadistic pigs? Only normies work for other people. Let them fight over crumbs.

    Just think that if I had only answered my calling since the time that I had first come of age, I wouldn’t even know what a bait and switch job posting is. I wouldn’t care, and when I eventually came across the news report, I would have been appalled, unlike now.

    That is but one example of all the bullshit you have to deal with when you serve other people in a subservient way. The only benefit that comes from me living in this godforsaken timeline is that I am not naive. If you don’t build your dreams, others will hire you to build theirs.

    Until next time, adieu.

  • Exploring the halo effect

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    Mar 23, 2025

    Why does it seem like there are some who can do no wrong, while there are others who can do no right? It doesn’t matter if the accused is actually guilty any more than it matters whether the accuser is innocent. So then what really matters? What is the basis of deciding whether or not someone deserves punishment? Besides being wealthy, I think it has everything to do with the halo effect.

    The halo effect is when someone is assumed to be inherently good based solely on their physical appearance. This doesn’t only apply when determining guilt or innocence, but is also present in social and romantic situations.

    Several key features that add to the halo effect are; having an attractive facial symmetry, height, being in better shape, light or pale skin, straight or curly hair texture, speaking more intelligently (unless you are black), signs of youth regardless of age, owning clothes, cars and other accessories that symbolizes wealth or any combination of the above.

    The opposite of the halo effect is the failo effect (popular among incels), where someone is assumed to be inherently evil, stupid, or somehow otherwise unworthy, based solely on physical aesthetics.

    Several key features that add to the failo effect are having an ugly or otherwise offensive facial symmetry, lack of height, being overweight, having darker skin, a coarser hair texture, your gender, using more slang words out of context, male pattern baldness and signs of ageing regardless of age, wearing plain clothing or other accessories that symbolize poverty or frugality, or any combination of the above.

    Any combination of the above is the problem that most incels face, because everything else could be on fleek, but his face is a deal breaker. And the irony of that whole situation is that it may not even be a bad face, just not an attractive one.

    In other words, she would have otherwise found him to be quite handsome if she was not viewing him through a sexual lens. They always look for rigid jawlines and hunter eyes, and if he is lacking in those departments, then his handsomeness is not commonly viewed as masculine among groups of female admirers.

    Female groups practice hive thinking. One of the girls may really like him, but she will reject him if her friends disapprove because her friends will reject her if she doesn’t.

    If they don’t reject her then, they will allow her to become a liability and pull down their social value, and nothing matters more to them than social dominance. Sisterhood above personal likes and preferences. Most normies are too weak willed to reject the group for their own sense of individuality.

    The worst part is that it’s not entirely the fault of the man in question. Sometimes it really only boils down to evolution and genetics, his luck of the draw so to speak.

    Society believes that anyone who suffers from the failo effect is generally not deserving of anything worth having. As a result, one is forced to live in a constant state of entropy that is disproportionate to others as they face one brutal act of sabotage after another.

    It is easier for them to railroad an innocent out of job opportunities, money and even his very freedom than it is to admit that they just don’t like him and leave him alone. 

    The halo effect is a problem because it gives a free pass for one to abuse another based solely on the way they look. As a result, it breeds entitlement, narcissism and mental disease that encourages others to join them in persecuting an innocent.

    Racism like all forms of prejudice was born out of the halo effect, and the persecution it breeds doesn’t work without the consent of all of society, which explains why no one rushes to the aid of the innocent in question. Not only that, but most normies fear that they too will come under attack if they ever try to defend you, so they’re just glad the heat is off them.

    Most normies who are lacking in the looks department end up becoming douchebags in order to get laid. If you are not willing to douchemaxx to get ahead, then welcome to my blog. You’ve come to the right place. 

    People are shallow. People are racist. This is a very sobering and objective truth. It seems like your only two options now are to either hit the gym and stack your paper to improve your own life as a priority, or become a minimalist doomer living in your mother’s basement until you croak.

    The road ahead is very long and lonely, and is not the type of journey for extraverted normies to concern themselves with. The toughest battles are given to the most capable soldiers. Please see my article about the power of solitude.

    Thanks for reading.

  • The Age of Aquarius

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    Feb 16, 2025

    Over the past ten years, humanity has become increasingly more hostile and competitive than ever before. There is no doubt that there has been a shift in the collective consciousness of the planet. It wasn’t always like this, so then what could have happened to drive the collective of humanity to this level of depravity?

    There was once a time when evil acts would be committed in secrecy, the perpetrators being extremely careful for fear of being exposed. Even if one was a practitioner of evil, there were still elements of shame and respect involved. But today however, all that shame and respect has gone out the window, and evil is on full display.

    People today are even bold enough to stalk and harass those whom they despise. When in fact, wouldn’t it make better sense to avoid the people you hate? After all, that’s what normal people do. And that is not to say that hidden malevolence was better. In fact, it granted them some extra time to do long-term damage insidiously. But at least they weren’t so damned obnoxious with it.

    Humanity has always been capable of grave acts of depravity, but never has it been as bad as it has gotten over the past ten years. The world is getting more and more wicked with each passing year, and it is only going to get worse over time. But what’s really happening though?

    I theorize that the planet is going through an intense period of transformation, the likes of which is unprecedented throughout much of human history, and that this transformation is largely attributed to the dawning of the age of Aquarius.

    The last two thousand years saw us going through the age of Pisces, an age of religious dogma, therefore an age of fantasy, and an age of ignorance and superstition, the dark ages of humanity. Ironic how much of feudalism played out during the age of Pisces, and to some extent, I feel like we are still living in the dark ages in comparison to where we should have been by now.

    But in fact, I feel like we are also waking up to the reality of our human potential. Who needs some god or man to rule over us, when we can do for ourselves? This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius, an age of ingenuity, an age of artisanship, an age of innovation and creativity. Gone are the sleepy, ignorant days of the age of Pisces. We’re moving into an era where infrastructure is built to last, and the moment we can provide for our own safety and sustainability, “you’re fired!”

    People who benefit from our ignorance are aware that they will become obsolete, unless they do everything within their grasp to keep us in a state of ignorance, and do so quickly. So a lot of the chaos in the world is attributed to them stepping up their game, trying to gaslight each other into believing that one is more superior, and that one will not survive without the other. This is of course all in a bid to secure their relevance because they know their time is up.

    Astrologers are not certain of the actual year that the age of Aquarius will begin, but having given us a range of years between 1447 and 2150, they speculate that it may have already begun, or may begin at any point over the next 150 years.

    Although the world started descending into a state of chaos around 2017, the peak of human depravity was seen in 2020 during the pandemic and the George Floyd protests, the lowest point of humanity thus far, but still not the absolute worst, oh no. That day is yet to come.

    If 2020 was not the beginning of the age of Aquarius, it definitely marked the beginning of the end of the age of Pisces, and humanity will continue to slowly descend into depravity for the foreseeable future, until we have completely transitioned over into the new age.

    This process is necessary to weed out those who are still stuck with the notion that you should work till you drop, just so you’d be able to afford useless junk to impress people who don’t like you. When in fact, the age of Aquarius will be an age of ingenuity and creativity, building things with long-term benefits that serve others, building things that last.

    What’s happening now may be necessary to weed out those who are obsessed with power and status, but once the separation process is complete, it will be well worth it. What we can do is to be an example to help encourage others to join us in helping to move things along a bit more smoothly.

    We can cope with arts and the humanities as most of human civilization had before during times of trial and change, this is nothing new. Although we must remain patient and trust the process, we can pace ourselves in how we discover our own purpose in the storm, this is why I write.

    Finally, if the process will truly be completed in 2150 as predicted, then none of us will live to see the completion of the transition, but we can choose to create a legacy that will allow for history to remember us favorably.

  • Weaponized Nostalgia: The dangers of returning to old towns, jobs and relationships

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    Feb 2, 2025

    Welcome back to The Buckinchere Transcendence. Today is Sunday, February 2, 2025, my first article for 2025. I hope you all have had a restful and recuperative solstice, as did I. With that in mind, now is the time to get back on your purpose.

    2025 is the year to honor your passions, whatever they may be. My personal goal for this year is to continue discussing existential ideas, especially as it pertains to social interactions within society, but with an added feature.

    I will also be incorporating a monthly review of novels, short stories and other forms of creativity. The review will be posted on the last Sunday of each month, and I hope you all will thoroughly enjoy it. Now, on to the topic at hand.

    Nostalgia is tempting. You leave your childhood hometown behind, along with all of its familiarities, and venture out into the world at large in pursuit of finding your purpose. At first, it’s really rough to get a leg in the door, but after a while, you kind of get the hang of it.

    Your secret haters are exposed, you make friends along the way, and in the process of all these happenings, you finally figure out who you really are on an individual level, and you also discover your niche.

    You have an awesome job in tech, a cool new ride, a swanky new pad, a hot new girlfriend, and more cash lying around than you thought was ever possible to see during a single lifetime, or so it feels to you based on where you are coming from. Things are going really great for you right now. As we say in Jamaica, “life finally ‘gree wid yuh.”

    After many years of hard work and discipline, you finally get a holiday weekend and decide to drive back to your hometown, just to visit your folks and see how everybody is doing.

    It’s been so long since you have last seen the folks back home, “I bet they’d be really glad to finally see me again after all this time,” you think to yourself while packing your suitcase. “And I bet they’d be proud to learn of my accomplishments.” Ah yes, nostalgia is tempting, isn’t it?

    You load up the car, pack some snacks for the long trip ahead, and drive six hours and three states away from your current city. When you get there, everybody is all smiles at first. Old grudges seem to be forgotten, and everybody seems really happy to see you again.

    Of course they are! It’s only the first night. But don’t worry, the honeymoon will be over by morning, and even if old grudges really are forgotten, a new one is brewing under the surface, one that is deeper than you could ever imagine.

    You suddenly find yourself constantly at odds with them. You are constantly walking on eggshells, unable to appease them, and they are constantly taunting you with it. You know it’s not really about the way you hold your fork to eat. But what did you do? You’ve only been back for one night after years of absence.

    “Was it something I said? Is it because I missed Thanksgiving last year?” You wonder to yourself. Perplexed, you decide to visit some of your old high school buddies, hoping they’d be different, but everybody and their brother is throwing shade your way. You finally decide to visit your ex, and she’s the worst of them all. Nostalgia may be tempting, but isn’t so sweet after all, is it?

    You’re puzzled as to why everyone is acting so strange, but it’s only after you return to your new life that you are actually able to view what happened through an objective lens. You have a moment of epiphany when it finally dawns on you that maybe, just maybe, it really is the suit and the car after all.

    You can’t believe it! How could they all be so shallow? I mean, after all, it’s just a material possession that you cannot take with you to your grave. Perhaps you didn’t know them as well as you thought you did.

    Because if you did, then you would know that the folks back home are nothing more than some lowbrow normies who are just out to defend the status quo of their little community, and they wouldn’t mind sacrificing you in the process if it means that they can cover their tracks.

    I know you may be tempted to overthink it, but don’t. There’s nothing that you could have done differently. They are what they are, and you just didn’t know any better, that’s not your fault.

    What is your fault is if you know the truth and keep going back and revisiting old situations from your former life that no longer serve you. Be it old towns, old friends, old jobs, or old relationships.

    The reason why they were all acting so strange is because they envy you for rising above their measure of your worth, and also for surpassing them. They should have been focusing on their own self-improvement instead of slandering your name all over town, but they didn’t. Your success exposes them by comparison, and that was when they all collectively made up their minds.

    You see, they knew that it wouldn’t be too long before you started growing nostalgic, that you started longing for the comforting lies of the past, and that is exactly what they were all banking on.

    Unfortunately, you unknowingly fell right for their little trap, and they were able to regain access to you much too easily. They made you come to them of your own free will. How much easier does it get?

    With that access, they were able to shame and guilt you for your new life, and your new self. The goal was to make you grow to hate your life, to make you dumb yourself down to a state that is more palatable for their taste, whether or not they were conscious of it, and nine times out of ten, they knew exactly what they were doing.

    The advent of social media doesn’t really help matters much, because it creates a world where privacy concerns are consistently diminished.

    “But that doesn’t make any sense,” you may be wondering. Oh, but it makes perfect sense. “Well, don’t most families usually chastise the underachiever?” No, that only happens on television, with very few exceptions in real life.

    Most families and communities consist of normies who themselves are underachievers. Wouldn’t it make perfect sense for eccentrics to chastise underachievers while normies chastise overachievers?

    Your biggest problem is that you didn’t know who you really are. If you knew, you wouldn’t have accepted certain jobs in the past, nor would you remain in certain relationships and friend groups, taking abuse from others.

    If you knew who you are, you would easily be able to see how the folks back home really are by contrast, and by default, weaponized nostalgia would have no effect on you.

    I get it! For much of your life so far, you genuinely thought you were one of them. They even had you acting and thinking like them. But even then, they knew you were different, they just didn’t want you to know. So they proceeded to gaslight you, then sat back watching as you tried to impress them, knowing that you don’t know the truth about yourself.

    They were hoping it would be that way forever. But you unwittingly exposed them for what they are when you continued to evolve regardless, and their fragile egos simply couldn’t handle that.

    You gave them the benefit of the doubt, due to your benevolent nature, but they are not the same as you are, they operate from a  place of group think. They understand that one of you simply does not fit, and they respect the law of compatibility, to which they actually have a point in that regard.

    Those of us who are talented should do the same, find others who are eccentric and like-minded, and stick together. Form an impermeable shield, build a kingdom, and kick anybody out who doesn’t belong there. You were born to stand out.

    The more you ascend into your new life, the more you will strip away the hard, protective outer shell, which is your ego, and become more of who you really are. This will happen naturally, and without thought.

    The first step ahead is to divest from dereliction. Every time after that when you are reminded of who you used to be, and who you allowed to be around you, sweet nostalgia will turn into an intense urge to purge your guts. Or you might just smile and shake your head, depending on your personality. But no matter what you do, never return to old towns, jobs and relationships.

  • The road to hell is paved with good intentions

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    There are only three main types of people on earth. Sadists, masochists, and hedonists. The rat race consists of all three to varying degrees. These are their roles.

    First of all, what is the rat race? “It is the fight for scarce benefits and spoils carried on by hostile tribes, who seem to be perpetually at war.” Who said those words? Pigs run the rat race, and rats run in the race.

    John D. Rockefeller once famously said that he wanted a nation of workers, and not a nation of thinkers. That means that if a majority of the public were to think more objectively, they would figure out how to be truly fulfilled without needing a job. That would then cause a labor shortage which would be bad for business.

    So Rockefeller sanctioned the foundation of the public education system as we now understand it, paid for courtesy of your property taxes. The public education system was designed to teach people what to think, and what to want, vs how to think.

    While the children of the wealthy were privately tutored by their governess, and taught how to invest, the children of the working class were indoctrinated to want things they cannot easily afford, and to work for someone else just to be able to afford it. And all just so they could compete with the people they despise, while trying to impress the people who despise them.

    They are given credit cards, and encouraged to apply for mortgages and auto loans with interest rates that would see them paying for the item at twice its cash value. First, they give you a mortgage to buy a house.

    Then on that house, they charge you a property tax that they then use to fund your public schools where they plan on indoctrinating the next generation of taxpayers, and the cycle continues.

    That is a very evil thing to do, and it makes you feel sorry for the working class. You almost want to feel sorry for them, without the proper context, that is. Because as we say in Jamaica, “If you feel sorry for a ‘mawga dawg’ (skinny dog), he will turn around and bite you.”

    For many years, I participated in the rat race, and by participating, I thought I was a part of the group. In every instance, I was befriended by my colleagues, they all made me feel accepted.

    I thought we shared common interests, and were able to resonate with each other, so I never suspected a thing. Instead, I was met with the nightmarish reality of being constantly gangstalked, and railroaded out of one job after another.

    First, they would befriend me, then try to get close to me in order to spy on me. Then it wasn’t long before the inevitable happened. No, they didn’t ghost me. I wish they did. They betrayed my trust, and turned on me like the rats that they all are.

    This went on for 18 years, and I could not understand why. I thought they were racist (some of them probably were) until I realized that it was mostly my fellow immigrants within the melting pots of America who were doing this to me.

    This is having more to do with competition than it is having to do with racism. It was then that I finally realized why they call it the rat race. What could I possibly expect to find in the rat race, if not a bunch of hoodrats?

    Your colleagues are not your friends, they are your competition. This is not limited only to the employees at your immediate job, but also your neighbors, bartender, grocer, cafe barista, your son’s teacher, and the girl who works at the Verizon store.

    It includes random commuters on the subway who you will never see again, and even the very “missed connection” you saw at the mall the other day who you were hoping you would eventually end up dating, you poor schmuck.

    Someone who is preoccupied with using people to get ahead is not thinking about dating you, nor being your friend. Respect this truth, or the delusion will disrespect you.

    This is most unfortunate, because my thought process is that if the system is so evil, wouldn’t we all be richer for banding together to resist the powers that be? That is the most natural solution that anyone would arrive at when faced with such a dilemma.

    In reality, most people only want to make easy money without having to think too much, and I become the enemy for upsetting the apple cart by thinking too much.

    The rat race is filled with broken, insecure people who like their dysfunction, and want to keep it that way. That way, they are able to make excuses, and get away with carrying out acts of degeneracy. The public will just laugh it off as, “lol, she crazzzzeee!”

    They would actually feel safer around the crazy, degenerate type, than the strong, silent type. They will often cut their eye at him and suck their teeth like, “he just weird!” Anyone who is that broken and insecure will always seek control over other people so they can feel more important than they really are.

    They know they are powerless in the world, and they need an enemy so they can live out some kind of hero complex. If no one wants to be their enemy, they will create one. Often, it is the strong, silent type who is going his own way.

    This makes them very angry, as it is a total loss of control, and you are not validating their ego, nor their fake friendship. You just don’t care. In this case, they will double down and twice as much make you their enemy, because now they want revenge for you not validating their fantasies.

    You would have never chosen this for yourself. You were targeted by a narcissistic cult for a machiavellian agenda in their delusional little world. You are NOT their enemy, they are YOURS.

    That is their choice because they could have fought alongside you, against the common enemy of the working class, but that requires sacrifice, and all they want is a false sense of power, and an easy buck.

    So they instead chose to make you their enemy because they figured you are an easy target, and you can’t easily retaliate, nor escape their clutches. This is not just one, nor is it a handful of hoodrats who feel this way. It is literally EVERYBODY.

    That is the rule, not the exception. So the way I figure it, the working class is quite content with the way things are. They get fake social validation. They get to eat, drink and fuck themselves into oblivion, and they can sleep good at nights knowing fully well that they are stepping over the graves of men like me. They are not dying of starvation, and they are NOT the victims in any of this. They are the main perpetrators.

    Even if the oligarchy had an agenda, they would not be able to effectuate that agenda without the consent of the public. Especially now with the advent of the internet when everyone should know better.

    The people may be willful participants, but they are not sheep. Sheep don’t know any better, hoodrats do, and are ok with it so long as they have one target who the public can all agree is their common enemy.

    Thing of it is, why do the working class hate me so much? I recently realized that it is because I remind them of the wealthy elites they envy so much. But how could that be? I am a minimalist who keep to myself.

    It is because my mannerisms are different from theirs. Because I don’t think with a ghetto mentality, and I carry myself with more dignity and self-respect. And in their stupid little insecure minds, that reminds them of the wealthy, and they think that I am showing off and being an “Uncle Tom.”

    So now, because they have easier access to me, than they have to the wealthy, they have decided to make me their target. The fact that they all saw this, and didn’t tell me lets you know the kind of rat bastards I have been dealing with this whole time.

    In fact, they told us as kids to stay in school, and get a job to stay out of trouble. And that was exactly what I did, but that’s also where I met all of my enemies. The place where I was supposed to be safer.

    This is what you get when you aim for low-hanging fruit, because I truly did not belong on any of those jobs, when what I should have done was to become self-employed right from the jump.

    The only thing that was stopping me at the time was an accurate working knowledge of rat race competition, or the lack thereof. And the lack of a clear sense of direction.

    Now that I know what I know, make no mistake, I have no sympathy for the hoodrats. They deserve to stay trapped in the very rat race they love so much. Oh, wait! What’s that you say? It’s no longer fun being in the rat race because I left?

    Sucks to be you! You had many chances to join me in building wealth and power in the world, but you would rather work against me. The long and short of it is that the rat race is a game of divide and conquer.

    The elites use propaganda through church, school, and media influences to mold the general mindset of each culture. Before you know it, they have the working-class fighting amongst themselves.

    This is due to the fact that they used the media to spread the idea that immigrants are coming over here to steal their jobs. Then there is the race among immigrants pertaining to who is more Americanized, or who came over here first, or who can change their accent the best.

    Divide and conquer may have been an agenda of the elites, but it was the working-class hoodrats who were willful participants. The people I once believed to be my peers led me to believe that the oligarchs and the politicians are my enemies, and there is definitely some truth to that.

    But they are not the ones who are gangstalking me, and looking to sabotage my life at every turn, so they are NOT an immediate threat to me. The government needs me to gain income in order to tax it, and the oligarchs need me to have income in order to spend it with them. That leaves only one class of people who could possibly benefit from sabotaging me.

    That class consists of the most dangerous enemies as they are the ones I encounter on the daily, so they have easier access to get to me. Does that mean that I will join forces with the elites? No, I will form my own power circles without becoming involved with one side, or the other.

    The complaints of the working-class are of no concern to me. Only crazy people continuously support the very people they are complaining about. It is the responsibility of the working-class to rise above their conditions. I am NOT their hero. I don’t have wings on my back.

    Why should I sacrifice myself for a blasted bunch of ingrates when I might not even get to enjoy the fruits of my own victory? And just like that, the system will continue to thrive, indefinitely. Accepting reality for what it is, it is now for me to figure out how I am going to let the system work for me.

    Do you remember when I said that there are only three types of people on earth? Sadists, masochists, and hedonists? Well, one might believe that the bankers, politicians and the media are sadists in their undying lust for power, the working class are hedonists for “turning up” every weekend.

    And that I am a masochistic glutton for punishment for upholding truth despite the hefty price to pay for doing so. Just because I won’t sell out my ideals to join the herd doesn’t mean that I am a masochist.

    In reality, the politicians are sadists, because they love power over pleasure. The working-class are sadists, masquerading as masochists, because they love power over pleasure, and they also get some of their power from playing the victim. I am one of very few people on earth who are truly hedonistic, because I love pleasure over power.

    Of course these statements are over-generalized, but you get the picture. The people who love power, loves to victimize the people who love pleasure. That is because what better measure of power is there than to strip away the pleasure of a hedonist, and watch as he is forced into serving a masochistic role outside of his control.

    Hence why they are sadists. You see, once you learn to think evil like them, they really are not that hard to figure out. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

    The good news is that no hedonist is going to sit there and let a sadistic bully torture them long term. For the hedonist, self-preservation is paramount. Hedonism is not just about the love of pleasure, but also the love of self.

    The hedonist will always pursue pleasure, but if the pleasure comes with pain, then the hedonist will undoubtedly decide that the pleasure is not worth the pain, and peacefully move on to something else.

    Forgive me if it seems like I am all over the place, but this is a complex topic. Thanks for reading.

  • Two wings on the same damned bird

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    Nov 10, 2024

    On Tuesday, November 5, 2024, history was made when the American people went to the polls. Donald J. Trump made history as the first former president to be elected president for a second non-consecutive term in office, effectively making him the 45th and the 47th president of the United States.

    Not only that, but Trump also made history as the first impeached president to be elected to office, and one with pending felony charges at that. The U.S. presidency is no stranger to scandals. From the 1972 Watergate scandal under the Nixon administration, to the 1998 Monica Lewinsky scandal under the Clinton administration, scandals seem to be the White House’s middle name.

    But never has there been the scandal of an impeached former president who is elected to office with pending felony charges, yet it happened two days ago at the time of me penning the initial draft of this article. What does that say about the popularity of Trump’s political opponent?

    It was a close race, as Harris wasn’t that far behind Trump. With her receiving 47% of the votes, it was almost a stalemate. Even then, it wasn’t enough. Trump won the popular vote as well as the electoral votes.

    Speaking of the electoral college, the GOP regained control of the senate, and they already had control of the House of Representatives from the 2022 midterm race, so Trump will have smooth sailing passing any bill he wants without opposition, all the odds are tipped in his favor.

    All this is good for Trump and other wealthy Americans, but what does that mean for the average working-class American? They still have to work and pay bills. They still have to keep food on the table and send their children to school.

    They voted for one presidential candidate or another, hoping for change, and they honestly believe that one of those candidates will actually improve their lot in life. Pity they fail to realize that they are two wings on the same damned bird.

    It’s still the same system, but with two different faces. What would Harris have done differently that Trump wouldn’t have done, or vice versa? They are ultimately in it for themselves.

    One of the primary reasons why “woke” people still vote despite knowing all this to be true is because their preferred candidate supports their political ideology, while the other candidate opposes it.

    People who want to work a job indefinitely, or permanently live off free government handouts generally tend to vote democrat, while those who are more entrepreneurially inclined tend to vote republican, and rightfully so.

    Because historically, left-winged candidates tend to promise to create more jobs and fund more social services, while right-winged candidates tend to support businesses. That’s why under Trump’s “America First” policy, he promises to bring all the manufacturing jobs back home from China. That is the selling point of his campaign, and one of the main reasons he was re-elected.

    People with small businesses would jump at the sound of that, while large corporations who actually profit from outsourcing American jobs would weep, hence why they say that Trump is anti-establishment.

    That’s why they came up with those trumped-up (pun intended) felony charges about him paying hush money to the porn star Stormy Daniels, to bar him from seeking re-election, and it didn’t work even though he was found guilty.

    Trump was undoubtedly saved by his connections and his billions, because we all know that if it was “Jack the plumber,” they would’ve already buried him under the jailhouse. I think Trump will probably give himself a presidential pardon after he resumes office, but in the meantime, they will not rest until he is sentenced to serve time in prison, or at the very least, impeached for a third time.

    If you really think that Biden or Harris are the ones in charge, then you deserve to suffer the consequences of whatever you believe. She is nothing more than a stupid figurehead whom they installed as the face of the socialist left, and only because they know she is easy to control.

    It’s the people behind her who are pulling all the strings. A small group of men who have managed to infiltrate the American system through various international connections, and will be referred to throughout this article as The Oligarchs. They are not interested in money, they already have enough of it.

    They are inherently authoritarian in their approach, all they want is power. They want to run the show, to be the movers and shakers of society, and above all else, they want to decide who becomes a success, and who remains a failure.

    The reason why they are oligarchs is precisely because they are of the rigid and draconian belief that only a select few people within society should become successful.

    They have double standards and they play favoritism. Only those who pander to their agenda will be rewarded for it, everybody else is expected to serve their lot in life, but that should never be within a democracy such as this.

    This is not Europe where you are either born a serf or a noble, and therefore doomed to your lot based on what family you are born into, or how much land they own. Nor is this badmind Jamaica where even down to your own relatives will shame and sabotage you just for being eccentric, and having the potential to improve your lot.

    This is the land of opportunity, a place where dreams become a reality, and everybody wants to come here so badly, some even going so far as to risk their lives by climbing over the Mexican border fence just to improve their lot in life.

    A place where despite all its troubles, it is still the best place on earth to live. Because only in America is it possible for you to have a couple thousands saved up in the bank today, be living under a damned bridge by tomorrow, yet become a billionaire by the end of next year (it’s not easy but it’s very possible).

    And so, no one has the right to decide what your lot should be, except you. If they don’t like you, tell them to go fuck themselves. Any bird brain who is pompous enough to think that it’s their choice to dictate how your life should turn out is an enemy of freedom, and by default an enemy of America.

    If you have natural talent, use it to pull yourself out of a rut, or do some soul searching to figure out what that talent could possibly be, because your dream of making it big in your chosen field is more likely to be possible in America than any place else on the planet.

    When you vote left, you vote, not for Biden, Harris, or any other figurehead they install to distract you, but rather, for the oligarchs, and their authoritarian socialist agenda that is rooted in senseless greed and envy. The more likely you are to vote republican, the more likely you are to be patriotic, and an ally of freedom and civil liberty.

    So yes, Make America Great Again. When you went to the polls on Tuesday, you chose to vote for the capitalist free market, and the great American press. You chose to vote for freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and the right to bear arms.

    You chose to vote for the idea that we the people, in order to form a more perfect union, can take our country back from the establishment, and give it back to the American people.

    But ultimately, you chose to vote for yourself and the right to practice your natural talents. Because there is the left wing and the right wing, but both wings are on the same oligarchal bird, and it’s ultimately up to you to save yourself.

  • The dichotomy of emotions versus intellect

    Ready.

    B. Lorenzo Buckinchere

    Oct 6, 2024

    Within the cranial cavity of the human body, there lies an organ called the brain, responsible for regulating all the physical and cognitive functions of the human machine. There are two sides of the brain, the left side, responsible for logical thinking, and the right side, responsible for emotional thinking.

    Logical and emotional thinking both have their time and place. For instance, anything having to do with counting and measurements, or making business decisions is strictly left brain, while writing, art and music is more right brain. As a side note, writing is right brain, but editing is left brain, coming from a writer.

    There is supposed to be balance between the two. The problems arise whenever one spends too much time in one side of the brain or another, as doing so causes an imbalance, not to mention a whole bunch of complications within your relationships.

    Imagine the awkwardness that will arise from bringing your right brain into the boardroom, or your left brain into the bedroom.

    On a gendered level, men are more logical, and women  are more emotional. This is what causes unrelatability during a lover’s quarrel. The man is unable to relate to what his wife is saying because he is arguing from a logical perspective.

    Meanwhile, the wife is arguing from an emotional perspective, and finds it difficult to relate to her husband’s linear thinking. That is why they often fight over something as miniscule as him forgetting to turn down the toilet seat after peeing.

    Whenever there is a disagreement, the couple must be cognizant of this fact, and try to arrive at an amicable conclusion by being more considerate of each other’s perspectives.

    In the context of a relationship, the man should try to balance his logical thinking by being emotionally available for his wife. But that does not mean that you should tolerate a wife who is using emotional thinking as a way to excuse away toxic or irresponsible behavior.

    On a creative level, a man who is right brain dominant is often misunderstood by society. He would be considered weird for not fitting into the expectation that a man should be logical.

    Everyone from your parents to teachers to employers to colleagues to so-called friends and even your girlfriend will lose their patience with you, and be quick to judge you harshly.

    This is probably something that you have experienced for much of your life, and will probably continue to experience for as long as you continue to hang around normies.

    This is due to the fact that you are creative. And that they expect men to be more mathematical, or to perform more physical labor, while women are expected to be more creative.

    Of course, that is just a stereotype, and a harmful one at that, as it limits your potential, and puts you in a box where society determines your worth. There is nothing wrong with a man who is more creative. Eighty percent of the music and shows we consume would not exist without male writers and performers.

    But the thing to do is to realize that you would be better off hanging around your creative equals. People who will uplift and encourage you versus trying to limit your potential.

    There are those who were meant to be intellectual geniuses, and those who were meant to be creative geniuses. Everyone cannot be an intellectual genius. If society would respect the individual’s right to choose, they would feel free to pursue their true passion, which would in turn make this world a better place.
