Thank u MAA , so true … May I add….. Fear porn and mandates drove the masses to get jabbed by the Bioweapon, thus started the depopulation and the grand entrance of the NWO. ( Never jab an untested product into a pregnant woman) Merry Christmas

You have to wonder what ticking time bombs some of these younger kids have who had 3 or 4 or 5 shots?

Dunno. Could be scary. We we're already below population "replacement" rate. There may be no return to "baseline". I mean it's pretty simple math...it doesn't take much of a perturbation.

Merry Christmas MAA!

That boring story was a true story for me and my wife at the end of March and beginning of April 2020. We got a bad cold and cough 10 days apart,lost some sense of taste and smell. Found the early Vladimir Zelenko Protocols on line = took vitamins, zinc, and Quercetin (not much else known yet) and heeded his advice to stay out of the hospitals, and got better.

Our only difficulty was, having sold our property with a deadline to move in June, we had to find our next home while the country was losing its mind and people desperate to get out of cities were making offers site unseen on houses, so we often could not look at those places we were scheduled to see, and mostly unoccupied homes were viewable as people were afraid of anyone coming into their houses and leaving coof cooties. We were also limited to day trips because motels were closed, as were restaurants.

My sympathies. Speaking as someone who got my retirement and relocation out of the way before 2020, I thought since then of the people like yourself who faced what you faced.

Well, it all worked out but we ended up 88 miles from where we started. We are still in a rural area, and have the luxury of the time, being retired, to read, study and learn. We are also still living away from most of the chaos we see going on.

I occasionally, like to reflect about the current state of affairs by hypothesizing how history could be very different "if' the past had been slightly altered.

For example, if inventor Thomas Parker's 1884 electric-powered trams became the paradigm and not Ford's combustion engine our lives might be totally different. Or, if Rockefeller never got involved in allopathic medicine and homeopathic treatments were considered mainstream and preferable. That slight modification of history would've certainly prevented all scamdemics.

And how about something as avoidable as the Iraq War. Perhaps, instead of invading Afghanistan and Iraq a more targeted approach should've been pursued, like just capturing the culprits. That "little edit" of events would've saved over a million lives.

In any event, we can say "if" about many things including our own personal experiences. However, we can't go back in time, at least not yet. So it's best just to stay fully present in the moment.

Full of good thoughts. It shows how the brilliant and good-hearted geniuses of the world who were bringing gifts to mankind have been forced out of the way (with as much force as required to make that happen... sometimes buying & then burying their offerings, sometimes knocking them off.) If only we could have consulted the-good-souls on the question of which path(s) mankind should take. And, yes, staying fully present in the moment is a good place to be for our present and our future.

IF (only)... lovely collaboration laydeez, a video-poem that is so "clean"--reminds me of the foller'in ol' fave've mine by Rudyard Kipling--i.e. IF...

If you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or, being hated, don’t give way to hating,

And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;

If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with triumph and disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build ’em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: “Hold on”;

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with kings—nor lose the common touch;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run—

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,

And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll add with hopefully no heresy ---you'll be a HUMAN my friends, an adult in the room! In a nutshell--the viddeyo / written piece is about whut would'a been HUMAN. Ta cope with somethin' normal, expected, not ta shrink like an' old olive ya find under the sofa. Could'a been the nuthin' burger it should'a been! Merry Everythin'--this wuz a little treat post "holly-day stuffin'!"

Yep, exactly my thoughts after the first three weeks of this travesty.

As Ronald Reagan said,” The 11 words you never want to hear: ‘ We are from the government and we are here to help’”.

Our” public servants” just kill, steal, and destroy. A lot like someone else we know about…..

I still can't get my head round the number of people who still "get Covid" and then take time off work etc.

I still can't get my head round the number of people who still do the test.

I still cant get my head round the number of people who still talk about it.

I still can't get my head round our health services continuing to remind us to get vaccinated.

I still cant get my head round the number of people and institutions believing in and advocating masks.

What a lovely Christmas present - Thank you Margaret Anna Alice! I am only one third of the way down, but I hope in 5 years you can write another Boring Story...about how nice it is to live without psychopathic surveillance and control, a solid monetary system, and a country that went back to its roots.

Yes, exactly what should've been! Why your Mistakes were not made is so important.

I heard it over Thanksgiving from my cousins wife when naming those who were complicit. You can always tell where someone gets their news and information. She just said, they were doing the best they could with what they knew. I told her you can believe what you want, but there needs to be accountability for what happened, just moving on is not an option.

Merry Christmas Margaret!

Thank you very much for the link to _L5 News_ and our post "The Twisted Twenties" wherein we consider the possibility that the Twisted Twenty-Twenties may be amongst the very most twisted decades since the last ten years of Nero's reign. We are deeply grateful to you for all your excellent work in writing about the difficulties of tyranny and the traumas our culture has been facing. As Thoreau noted a long time ago, if people would simply say what they think would be a better world, that would be one step toward having it.

You are a great blessing to our world, Margaret Anna Alice. May God bless you and keep you safe from harm. Many blessings to your team of cooperating friends and colleagues. Merry Christmas to you all. Next year in a free country. Amen.

Nice, MAA! Maybe you have posted this earlier, but can you explain your pen name? I assume this is not your real name, which I fully respect (obviously, my handle here is not my real name).

Just curious and blessings and hope for 2024!
