Read… ~ ‘What if the weakest president we ever had were re-elected?’

I realize that some are awaiting my next installment on the history of banking in America, but sometimes I get these thoughts in my head that just demand that I write them down; if only to clear my mind so I can continue thinking about something else. This is one such occasion…

There is a great deal of debate among people over which party is best suited to run our system of government, and solve all the problems this country currently faces. While our country certainly does have some problems that need addressing, looking at it from the perspective of hoping that government can fix these problems is not going to solve anything.

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” ~ George Washington

What the police state wants is a silent, compliant, oblivious citizenry.

What the First Amendment affirms is an engaged citizenry that speaks truth to power using whatever peaceful means are available to us.

Speaking one’s truth doesn’t have to be the same for each person, and that truth doesn’t have to be palatable or pleasant or even factual. Continue reading →

“By intensity of hatred nations create in themselves the characters they imagine in their enemies. Hence it is that all passionate conflicts result in the interchange of characteristics.” ~ George William Russell

“What I worry about is that when problems are not addressed people will not know who is responsible, and when the problems get bad enough some one person will come forward and say: ‘Give me total power and I will solve this problem.’” ~ David Souter, US Supreme Court Justice

“We cannot understand Fascism, but we can and must understand from where it springs, and we must be on our guard, because what happened can happen again. For this reason, it is everyone’s duty to reflect on what happened. Monsters exist, but they are too few in number to be truly dangerous. More dangerous are the common men, the functionaries ready to believe and to act without asking questions.” ~ Primo Levi

“Communism and fascism or naziism, although poles apart in their intellectual content, are similar in this, that both have emotional appeal to the type of personality that takes pleasure in being submerged in a mass movement and submitting to superior authority.” ~ James A. C. Brown

How different would things be – how much healthier and happier would we be, as individuals and as a society – if we took the approach that innovations to our way of life were likely to be harmful until proven otherwise?

I really mean this. What past harms might we have prevented by waiting for tests or studies, by having been less eager to take things at face value, and by thoroughly having assessed new and needed innovations for unforeseen consequences? Continue reading →

1930 Street Scene, George Grosz (1893-1959)

Apparently, doctors haven’t gotten the memo that the thinking portion of the public has already figured out these shots and boosters don’t prevent any kind of illness. AdventHealth’s Dr. Teresa Herbert said this version of omicron is more contagious but causes less severe illness, and that people should still be subjecting themselves to the disastrous mRNA booster.

According to WLOS ABC News 13, an ABC affiliate out of North Carolina, the new variant dubbed “Arcturus” is spreading in India and has been detected in other countries. Dr. Herbert said to make sure you’ve gotten your latest round of experimental gene therapy injections, or a “COVID booster shot” just in case this overtly mild cold happens to make its way to you.

I never believed that this was possible and would roll my eyes when friends would tell me about this. But then, I’ve noticed how in the past couple of years, not only are these chemtrails more visible and frequent, but people in my area (myself included) have been getting sicker! I’m talking about people who live and eat cleanly and are outdoors a lot- I live in a very rural area of Virginia, not too far from DC. Many of us have been having weird symptoms, like muscle/joint pains, fatigue, and lingering coughs that no doctor can provide a diagnosis for. Not coincidentally, we live in a mostly agricultural area so, whatever they are spraying, it’s going on agricultural products. The question is: how do we protect ourselves from this! ~ Ge Markus

In a few days, I’ll mark 28 years since I packed up a 20-foot Ryder truck, inked a route that spanned 2,300 miles from New Jersey to Mesa, and began the three-day drive west. To say I’ve never looked back isn’t quite true. I sometimes wonder why I didn’t flee “back East” sooner.

Arizona has captured my heart. But let’s be real. The state isn’t perfect. Continue reading →
