After nearly 3 weeks of silence... "Perception IS Reality w/Kristopher H. Bilbrey" is back! Since the last show (#196)... the 2022 Midterm Election came and went & Kris has some thoughts about the Election Results to share with all of you.

Kris explores the French phrase "Folie à deux", which is a psychological term that means: "shared madness". Could this, &/or other similar conditions, be what causes citizens to be mad/upset at elected officials for their behavior... but turn around and still vote for them, or others like them!? (Important Note: Host, Kristopher H. Bilbrey, is NOT a Medical Doctor or a Psychologist! However, he is... a SMART ASS!) Join the discussion!

The first 16 words, of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America are: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." (the rest of the Amendment reads as follows: "...or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.") But it's those first 16 words that is the focus of Ep #194. The phrase "...

Kris wraps up his "loosely connected" 3 episode series with this episode talking about the old Irish Proverb from the 1300's "Better the Devil You Know vs the One You Don't!" People often apply that saying to political figures... Kris discusses why that is a bad idea.

Being able to "redress government officials" is one of the cornerstones of the American way of life! Only now, in 2022... those in government, be it: local, state or national... have decided they aren't much up for listening to the public anymore. And they definitely aren't interested in "criticism". Join Kris for this discussion, as he attempts to find a solution, to this major issue!

The 4th Estate is a name given to the "press/news media/journalist" that primarily covers the Government & Political Officials. Journalists that investigate and report on Government & Political Officials preform an important role in our society! They help "link" the citizens & the government together and they help keep the government "in check"... or at least, that is what they should be doing! Kris believes, however, that we are witnessing the "Death of the 4th Estate!" For some tim...

The "Campaign Process", during elections, can really turn people off! It can be a real PAIN! But instead of hiding from it, if citizens would use the "Campaign Process" as a tool, it could really make "our job" as voters easier... which, in turn, can make our lives better!

If a candidate running for public office (or an elected official) shuts down communication during a meeting or some other form of "public business" and walks out of the room or walks away from citizens and/or other candidates/officials... there are 3 simple words they need to remember: "DON'T STOP WALKING!"

The disillusionment with the Republican Party continues as Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses a weird republican event he attended recently. The fakery was on full display as everyone was trying to "one up" each other with how over the top nice they were "trying to be!" Or the attempts to "outdo" each other with the "charity work" they do (which really calls into question the motives for doing the work.) And the really strange act of trying to "Out Jesus" each other... along with many other re...

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey has watched Democracy work & fail over the course of the last 20 plus years! However, he's been watching it fail more and more as of late; which has led him to look inward, rather than outward, for ways to fix this issue. Realizing the government is the problem is a big first step. Understanding that Republicans & Democrats are 2 sides of the same bad coin is also very important.

Is decency dead? Join Kris as he contemplates that very thought. Even though it's the "Holiday Season" (at the time of this recording) it seems like the concepts of "intelligence", "common sense" & "peace on earth, good will to all" are fading away. For example, the father that called to let his children talk to the President on Christmas Eve... everything was going well, until it derailed - why? What was accomplished by what happened? There is a time and a place for everything... but it fee...
