I think the lockdowns (and other restrictions) divided us, and maybe never to return to 'normal'.

I think I noticed a certain 'superiority'?, a certain smug criticism that we just weren't 'good enough'

to enter various establishments.

We had to travel a distance, and it was cold so we needed to use a hotel. Getting meals was hard,

and there was sometimes a sense of 'you're trash'. I took note of these places and won't

go to them today.

Another place quietly said they'd serve us if we'd agree to sitting out of the way, at the back,

and of course, we happily did that.

Lockdowns separated people, separated their positions, and definitely the powers do know far more

who their enemies are. We are their public enemy and want to consider this.

As you've often written, Ray, there's either no freedom in the system, or very little, might as well

be no freedom. In Canada, the head tried to bring in 'thought police' so they could know

when and where a crime was about to happen. Or, so they said.

Since they routinely let off criminals, and paid off terrorists, I think that reason was a false flag.

So, the lockdowns, I believe did a LOT for the elites, showing them who were the

'compliant slaves' who would pose no problem. They knew who the whistleblowers were,

and jailed some of those, giving them a criminal record for obeying our charter of rights.

And didn't it help some of us know where we stood? Didn't it spur you on, Ray, to write about

many things that were needed? This was caused.

Weren't the injustices right 'in your face', glaring and proud, like the entire pride thing in Canada

where they're marching for the kids. Kids have never been so targeted, so attacked as in

Canada that I know of. Parents are mostly furious. They've lost control of their own families.

Lockdowns opened the way to violate far more. Canadians, and I think US people too, just hadn't

faced such restrictions, and didn't know how to mobilize. Because we had to mobilize, and

have groups writing, and posting all over the place to let people know what it all meant.

I think many didn't know the meaning of any of it, and just hoped it would 'go away'.

It doesn't, it didn't and it won't.

We may have learned more ,and I believe we need 'sites' or blogs where we can 'gather', and

plan how to deal with what is going on. I'm not strictly talking 'opposing', or 'not complying' which

are fighting words. No, I mean collectively writing articles, putting up Youtube videos as a GROUP,

perhaps gettting lawyers who are themselves incensed to help us all with the laws.

Then begin to challenge their 'loose' interpretation of our laws and statutes.

Any backlash, which they'd SEE as opposing, (which it is not, but requesting clarification) would

cause HUGE reaction, and we'd have to be ready for this. But I think they'd pare back what

they were trying to do.

It is through our differences, our disagreements if we want to call it that, that we can

come up with the best plans to actually continue LIVING in the next while as things move

quickly to complete darkness.

I can relate to all of your experiences during the lockdowns....followed by PTSD which I used these past several years to outline the shape and trajectory of the Beast.

Expand full comment

The lockdowns had a serious effect on me, that of proving beyond any doubt that my government seeks to kill or comprimise as many as possible as quietly as possible. Every move they make is calculated to be detrimental to living beings, and this has been made extraordinarily clear. Such a gift, in a way.

Expand full comment

And in addition to that, every move they make harms in many ways...

That was an excellent recap, Ray.

I didn’t use a medical-type mask, just a bandanna. I was only told once (when trying to shop for food) that it wasn’t enough and that I’d need a medical mask. I told the mask Nazi in charge of initial enforcement that I’d shop elsewhere.

Trump bragging about locking down the country is the main reason why I believe Trump is a gatekeeper for the ruling psychopaths. I have other reasons too, such as Trump’s association and trips with J. Epstein.

(Sorry for taking the discussion toward Trump. Mea culpa.)

My wife and I were lucky enough to live in rural Kentucky, where everyone is polite, and you know why. :)

Sheriffs left people alone, but in cities, the police were less respectful of constitutional rights.

Even here, conformity was appalling and the atmosphere was threatening.

Trump is only one of the insiders. He also participates in the current political theater.

I have been exchanging comments with a true believer in Trump. She wrote that when the USSR collapsed, a hundred or so nuclear warheads went “missing”. She further commented that Trump was blackmailed into the lockdowns and Operation Warp Speed by the bad guys who have those nukes. It’s an interesting story and it goes to show what can be imagined in order to maintain one’s faith (or trust) in a political leader or hero.

We human beings are weird like that.

I have a Christian friend who believes the Govt are using the Aliens 👽 as a distraction for when the “the ascending to heaven”, occurs .. & all the Christians disappear

Expand full comment

I don’t know about a pre-tribulation rapture. Frankly, I don’t know what to believe about saints disappearing and they’re needing to be an explanation from the government.

In the parable of the wheat and the tares, both are harvested at the same time. Or maybe I’m mistaken. I’m not much of a biblical scholar,

Expand full comment

I’m not either… I’m just passing along what her bible group believes. I’m not sure if I used the correct phrasing. Maybe I should have said the rapture 🤷‍♀️.

Expand full comment

No biggie. I just think it’s interesting. I’m trying to be less judgmental. “Let people believe what they want as long as they don’t act on their beliefs in ways that hurt others” is an attitude I’d like to cultivate.

Two workers in a field? He chose Paul to continue...eg. on agape, grace.

It's at 'the last trump', not many believes around?

Hunted, killed. The beast?

It's not so hard to weed out truths in Paul's work.

He encourages me how we can go wrong. Like

John the Baptist who was special. Look what happened.

Thanks for the clarification about the order of the harvest. You’re correct about the term “rapture” being non-biblical.

She must follow the Q Anon crowd. They believe he is actually still president & this is all a scam to arrest the traitors in Washington ... at this point that sounds as likely as the aliens 👽

Yep. According to her (well, as much as I understand) Q is highly advanced technology. I guess that Q chose Trump. It’s an interesting story. I like simple stories, being a simpleton.

Trump can't be blackmailed or extorted because he is a very wealthy, extremely successful businessman. Not at all compromisable.

Supposedly it was nuclear blackmail. The baddies threatened American cities with nuclear weapons if Trump didn’t go along with lockdowns and warp speed. That’s why Trump said that he saved millions of American lives.

Interesting story. Believable? Who knows for certain.

Is ANYONE "qualified" as a President? Politicians are selected, not elected, and they put on a show to convince people that it is their votes that count, which is never the case.

Trump gave the States the decision making authority over lockdowns, Covid. Trump never travelled to Epstein Island or anywhere w JE. He booted JE out of Mar A Lago when he found out what he was up to. TRUMP WAS TO ONLY ONE TO COOPERATE W AUTHORITIES IN PROSECUTING JE. ASK CINDY MCCAIN. Get your facts straight.

Oops, several times at the island. Look at those pictures.

Best buds until 2005, a falling out. Became a major enemy.

Epstein sued Trump for what he did.

Trump is nasty unless you're helping him. Biggest liar.

Great he'll end the war, huh? One day.

And I have a bridge to sell you?

Corrupt, but very savvy.

Just like Justin Trudeau who he despises.

And it's mutual.

But delusion is strong.

And some of what he SAYS is better, no doubt.

Look at his track record, before.

How he cleared the swamp.

He hides his finances more. Even Russian oligarchs won't lend him. He may have hidden assets, maybe broke.

I read He has a BIG personal loan due May, 2024.

Just a bit of gallows humor and is an acquired taste.

Not only is it an acquired taste, but also it seems to me that it’s mood-dependent. Being moody myself, sometimes gallows humor is funny and sometimes I’m offended.

Not only acquired taste and mood dependent but also varies by topic. Animal subjects will always make me sad. Yes, I know that no cows were harmed in that meme. It's just the thought. The stark reality of innocence harmed and of ignorance which also harms. I don't know. I'm all for gallows of the human sort though!

The Five Rules of Propaganda

1. The rule of simplification - reducing all data to a simple confrontation between 'Good and Bad', 'Friend and Foe'.

2. The rule of disfiguration - discrediting the opposition by crude smears and parodies.

3. The rule of transfusion - manipulating the consensus values of the target audience for one's own ends.

4. The rule of unanimity - presenting one's viewpoint as if it were unanimous opinion of all right-thinking people: draining the doubting individual into agreement by the appeal of star-performers, by social pressure , and by 'psychological contagion'.

5. The rule of orchestration - endlessly repeating the same messages in different variations and combinations.

I probably would be. I'll check them out.

RE rule #1: Data needs to be critically analyzed to determine information. Information needs to be critically analyzed to determine knowledge. Knowledge needs to be critically and intelligently analyzed to determine wisdom. Wisdom needs to combine with praxis and phronesis.

Although I’m not an advocate of (so-called) “environmental philosophy”, this is an interesting article imo explaining wise doing. https://ian.umces.edu/blog/its-all-greek-to-me-the-terms-praxis-and-phronesis-in-environmental-philosophy/

Is “stillness” & “simply feeling” working out well for you? If so, good for you and good for stillness and good for simply feeling.

“Are you still messing people about?” What on earth are you referring to? If you’re referring to me making serious mistakes in personal relationships, then the answer is “Yes”.
