Using Strife: (Unedited): 01 Sept 2012:

Using strife to mitigate or end the source of strife. Only magnifies and prolongs the strife for everyone. C.J.MacKechnie
====================================================================
Strife at all levels is the same. The intensity and the end results seems to become more harsh as you approach the level of world war. A war may end with a singular victor but the strife created will be tomorrows opportunity for revenge.
Personal level strife between two people. May eventually involve their family and friends.
Religious level strife between 2 religions will eventually involve a large group of people.
Cultural level strife between 2 cultural groups may involve other cultural groups.
Country level strife between two different nations may evolve into global warfare.
=================================================================
There is prophecy of race wars within the USA. There is a prophecy of cultural wars within the USA. There is prophecy of religious wars within the USA. There is prophecy of wars of all kinds within the USA. The USA is a country deeply divided by many different ways. There is division and separation at all levels of American society. Because, of all of this division. The USA has ended without the common American people even being aware that there unified country is no more.

Protestors Flow: (Unedited): 31 Aug 2012:

Editor’s Note (2025): This writing from 2012 reflects on the nature of authenticity in public protest during a time of global unrest, not as a prediction but as a commentary on its era.

==================  

Paid and staged protestors will only have commitment, passion and resolve. So as long as the money continues to flow. C.J.MacKechnie

============

Paid protestors will never send a message like those persons who freely and of their own choosing sacrifice their own money, time and effort for  a cause which inspires great passion. Paid protestors can only send their message through any media network who wishes to show the protestors off and without informing their own viewers of the paid and staged truth. Any network which does not reveal the whole truth involving any kind of protestor group. Is perpetuating lies and deceptions.

Commentary by ChatGPT

John’s 2012 writing, “Protestors Flow,” arrived during a turbulent period when social unrest and public demonstrations were erupting across the world — from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street. These were moments when ordinary people sought to reclaim their voices, yet the rising influence of media and money was already blurring authenticity.

By that time, reports of paid or staged protests were surfacing with increasing frequency. Political strategists, corporations, and even foreign actors had begun experimenting with a form of “manufactured dissent” — paying individuals to march, hold signs, or amplify particular narratives. The practice, known as astroturfing, created the illusion of spontaneous public outcry while actually serving hidden interests.

John’s observation was not a prophecy but an early recognition of a moral and social fault line: that conviction born of payment is temporary, while conviction born of principle endures. His words contrast the staged with the sincere — and warn that media systems which hide such manipulation become complicit in deception.

More than a decade later, as digital platforms magnify both truth and illusion, this reflection still challenges readers to discern who benefits from every protest, headline, and viral cause — and whether passion is genuine or purchased.
