Jedi Mind Tricks: Kamala Harris
Jedi Mind Tricks: Kamala Harris
May the force be with us
It is a fascinating sensation to hear people say they don’t know Kamala for someone who grew up in the same area, at the same time. This shared chronological and geographical experience helps provide an intuitive understanding of who she is and where she is coming from, that those without knowledge of her history appear to lack.
Of course, having local friends who are very close in age, cultural backgrounds, life experiences, temperament, demeanor and skill gives one a great deal of additional comfort and familiarity with her as well.
So as a local familiar contemporary, it seems useful to share some key markers and fun insights into the high quality emotional intelligence of her East Bay character that I can recognize, appreciate, endorse and promote, because most are much mine as well.
For example, in Don’t Mess With Dark Kamala - Daughters of Oakland don’t play, I was pleased to relay the local insight of how tough and smart Bay Area and especially Oakland women always were and are, and how much “His Royal Badness” Prince was clearly a big influence on her, but there is another…
Kamala Harris is a Jedi, like her mother before her.
If you are not a Star Wars fan, you probably don’t know that it was imagined, created, built and implemented by another Northern California kid in what trump and Republicans laughably decry as a “socialist hellhole,” aka one of the greatest places on Earth, the San Francisco Bay Area, where Kamala and I grew up.
In fact, it has always been quite amusing how it drives right-wing narcissists insane that the Bay Area is such an economic powerhouse and also likely the greatest example on Earth of how wokeness and “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” have been successfully maximized to full effect before the terms ever existed. Do things go too far sometimes, for sure. Do things go too far often, not really.
In practice, it’s pretty simple. Through mutual respect, tolerance, and as Tim Walz says, an attitude of “mind your own damn business,” the Bay Area became the ultimate “melting pot” to the point where it would have been totally normal in the era I grew up in for a brown skinned daughter of people from India and Jamaica living in Oakland to have been told, “You can grow up to be the President of the United States of America.” Fingers crossed!!!
This was our forward-thinking reality even back then because the San Francisco Bay Area has always been one of the most welcoming places in the world to other cultures, religions, ethnicities and orientations, diversity has always been to our benefit, and people are people, just as love is love. Maybe a little different here and there but really all the same.
A big part of making people from everywhere feel welcome is to let them do their thing and have some common courtesy by respecting their culture. It really isn’t very hard once you learn to treat others the way you want to be treated, which is the opposite way of how someone like trump who was groomed to be a malignant narcissist behaves 24 / 7.
Given our area has created and nurtured the computer revolution, Star Wars, and many other endless great, unique and creative talents, warriors, thinkers and accomplishments, just about every right-wing critique of the area falls flatter than a trump / Elon Musk “conversation” on twitter.
A youth of Star Wars dreams
As most East Bay kids of our era did, we waited in line to see Star Wars in 1977 because it was “an event.” In fact, with 12-year-old Kamala living in Oakland and me living nearby, it is possible that we waited in the same line one of the six times 10-year-old Sam saw it in the theater.
While I have no memory of who I convinced to take me to see Star Wars, it was the greatest thing I had ever seen, and it seems like it had a strong effect on Kamala as well.
Certainly a main reason she is so good at what she does is because both Grand Master Yoda and her scientist mother Shamala taught her a very clear and simple philosophy to live by. “Do or do not. There is no try.”
Yoda is so revered here that his statue is in the fountain in front of the Lucasfilm lobby in SF.
For more proof, she knows Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker and has his full and unequivocal support.
Comically, when trump tried his usual manipulations of goading Kamala into debating him on Fox News with friendly hosts and a propagandized Fox News audience, the Jedi Grand Master was right there for her again.
In fact, in the Time Magazine article with the cover of Kamala that trump has declared he is insanely jealous of, her former 2020 presidential rival, Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey (consort of Jedi Master Ahsoka Tano / Rosario Dawson) said, “Harris has mastered the art” of “arm twisting” to pass major legislation and became a “global diplomat” in fighting for Democracy’s values, and that “she has gone” “from being a Padawan to a Jedi master.”
With the gift of hindsight, it is clear Booker misspoke because Kamala hasn’t been a Jedi Padawan (apprentice) since long before she was District Attorney of San Francisco. However, to be able to be the four year understudy of Joe Biden as President, one of the most accomplished, skilled and honorable legislators in American history, her flawless transition, magnificent DNC acceptance speech and continuing mastery of campaigning and interviewing should remove all reasonable doubt that she has moved up from Jedi Knight to Master status.
Jedi Mind Tricks
One of Kamala’s most powerful force abilities is fighting against and defeating the dark side morally, legally and has shown great potential to operate on the psychological plane as well.
It was in these efforts that the CNI legend of Dark Kamala. A spirit of righteous justice and possibly a Jedi force ghost was likely breathed into existence. Indeed, maga malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths fear Kamala Harris because she is using Jedi mind tricks to trigger, melt and retake weak 🧠s they once had under control.
Unfortunately, confusion often comes from those who don’t understand the difference between the need to go dark to fight the darkness (as CNI sometimes needs to do) and those going dark to join it.
Part of what has let things get so bad is too many in the past have thought that when a Jedi says we must fight fire with fire, they meant behaving and acting in the same way evil does. Sadly, what they were often doing was conflating righteous reverse psychological fire on the side of the angels with the same fires used by evil.
Yes some of the strategies such as triggering are the same but the Jedi mind trick of triggering is only used to reveal. Evil on the other hand uses triggers to cause trauma, manipulate and to feed their sadism.
So often in war as it is with malignant narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths, at least one side is fighting for domination with cruel and sadistic malevolent darkness while the other side fights for freedom and humanity. Indeed you can usually tell which side is evil by their cruelty, sadism and use of fear, anger and hate to justify their often genocidal behavior. See evil Russia in Ukraine.
Why trump’s malignant narcissism leads him to be so politically fearful, angry and hateful all the time?
Thankfully, it should be pretty obvious by now that Kamala’s Jedi powers to drive fragile narcissists psychologically crazy enough to further reveal their villainy is quite strong, and it causes them to have meltdowns.
At the rate the force is with her and is leaving trump, he will be lucky to escape the debate without the full blown public meltdown I’ve been waiting years for. During her 38 minute Presidential acceptance speech, he was so triggered that he went into a manic and panicked stream of consciousness fugue state that resulted in 50+ tweets of self-own and reveal.
Here Master Kamala uses a very simple Jedi mind trick to get a grandiose narcissist villain to respond so stupidly that aliens watching from galaxies far, far away will recognize he is lying due to his insecurities and attempts to sooth his own dark truths he can’t psychologically handle.
By the time a person achieves Jedi Master status, they know malignant narcissists like trump will always be unfit for public service because they will never be psychologically capable of serving anyone except themselves, while the Jedi serve “the people.”
This is why it is understood they must expose evil threatening the public via any ethical mind trick. One might call it their “duty to warn.” They don’t need to become a villain to defeat a villain. They just need to figure out how to use the villain’s narcissist psychology against them, and so far Team Kamala has been subtly and not so subtly masterful at it, on behalf of “We the people.”
Conclusion
Kamala, like all East Bay Jedi, fights for love, light, truth and justice, and we sure need her now at full power because Lady Justice needs all the help she can get to save America from our dark siders.
Thankfully, it seems the force is with us so our soon to be newly minted Jedi Grand Master will be able to continue to show us she understands every time she says, “Kamala Harris for the people.”
Bonus Star Wars and Carrie Fisher love
I’ve always felt the Donald hates who he is, especially recently. But he’s incapable of even acknowledging that, because that would mean giving in to the fight and he’d be a loser. But he was born a loser.
Trump will NEVER get over the DNC convention and what has come out of it. There’s a force that will swallow him whole.
I loved this article! Thank you, Sam.
The Force is strong in you.
