ts1213 change doesn’t happen by giving up. It’s a daunting problem but we have our leaders in our movement (like Steve & Dr McCullough) who are making inroads

I can give a n example of the obliviousness of a lot of the public on this and their seeming disinterest. I live in a city of which are one of the final four participants in the NFL playoffs and I'd be apt to say that a great many are more interested in the NFL, Facebook 'likes' and Twitter feeds than what is affecting their lives and that, therein, lies the problem. People, to a large degree, are ingrained in their own little corners of the world and see nothing beyond themselves like the good readers and writers on these forums.

It’s not obliviousness. It’s denial.

Yes, I would agree in certain instances. In others it is just their, as I alluded to, complete lack of concern for anything other than themselves. Case in point. A co-worker of mine, in his 50's, told me of a conversation he had with someone in their 30's who replied to the effect that 'you worry too much; there's nothing wrong with the country'. If that doesn't shout oblivious...

And it might just be that it will need to come to something other than just writing...

Unfortunately I think we're on the road to a barrel in our faces.

That's probably the only thing that wakes people up.

Thee vaccines are just one component that could lead to slavedom

I could not agree more wholeheartedly. The saddest thing about that is we would have hoped (operative word) that something like this would not have occurred in the supposed 'land of the free and home of the brave'.

I have felt 3 emotions consistently about our country for the last 3 years:

Shame, disgust and sorrow.

Why?: because we have become a nation of cowards.

I never thought in my wildest dreams I would feel that way about America.

The Founders would not be surprised, but they would be disappointed and slap us in the face while mocking us.

Personally, having been to the abyss of my own personal hell (depression, business failure, heart surgery and much more) I know what hopelessness feels like. But one thing I’ve learned is that this is all a movie. And the last act is always our own departure. I get to choose the part I play. I can just be a casual observer or become a participant. Every day counts; every moment there is an opportunity to bring something meaningful into this mess that we all were born into.

I’m starting to appreciate what true heroes had to go through - People like Joan of Arc, Galileo, Gandhi, Christ, MLK, JFK and so many others. They saw firsthand the evil but refused to accept that there was nothing they could do about it knowing full well the persecution and ignorance they would face. Steve K along with the the growing army of freedom fighters that have birthed as a response to the darkness and deceit are to be not just admired but joined in this holy war.

I don’t wish to sound like a cheerleader. But I know our greatest strength is in our hearts and in our numbers. The elites are small in number but they’re well organized and have a history of developing a plan to gain full advantage over the rest of us. And the world they are offering is unacceptable. We must unite and inspire others to join in. That’s the only we can make a difference.

I’ll end my little rant with this which a very wise man once told me - Without teamwork there is no hope for the human race.

Jeff: Be s cheerleader! Who cares what others think? And if others don’t join, we are enough. Debbie Downers we don’t need. Have you heard about the “ Lucky Girl” phenomenon? It’s nothing new but it’s all about intentions cosmic magical something. A lot like “ The Secret.” You just have a mantra how lucky you are and repeat it, and repeat it and you find yourself becoming lucky. Maybe you’re just more aware of your luck but I’ve seen too many examples of this, to deny it. Feeling sad, and hopeless, especially with death & sickness is normal. If you stay in that place too long, you can spiral down so far, you need help getting back. So, let’s get through the sad, and the mad, and use those emotions to change things. Positive, productive, & hopeful thoughts attract people & will gain trust needed. If they change their mind, great, if not, great too! Just keep moving forward. 🌈

Thank you, Bridget. I have not given up but the ranks of those like yourself seem to be far out dwarfed by the evil.
