The US backed slaughter and destruction in Yemen is bigger and crueler than anything the US media covers. And it is something we could change. Covid measures created more harm than good and attention to Ukraine is very conveniently covering the tracks of the US devils who wrecked the lives of so many.
I took Journalism and Education courses in college. Coming out of high school those were primary interests for me. I saw then the fantasy of those disciplines vs. the reality.
The media has been lying us into war and covering up US crimes my whole life. Madeline Albright said tens of thousands of dead children in Iraq were an acceptable cost. Condoleezza Rice just said invading a sovereign country was a war crime.
We can’t do shit about Putin, but these monsters are given prominence? The corporate media has blood on its hands.
Two weeks ago there was a statewide mask mandate and state employees were being forced to choose between an experimental pharmaceutical product and the salaries they used to take care of their families.
Now, by decree, it’s all gone. No data is presented and the order comes on the same day the governor was facing a lawsuit over his illegal extension of his State of Emergency.
How many employees were forced into vaccinations they did not want? If this was so important, how can it be dropped so abruptly?
I hope this opens more eyes to see that public offcials, including those labeled “health,” do not have the interests of the governed in mind, nor heart.
Two years ago I wrote a warning about the predictable effects of Lockdown. It didn’t seem like anyone was listening, but soon after I began to find my Lockdown tribe. We got our children together and shared woth each other the ways we were staying sane. Many of these women were homeschool moms, and more moms and dads joined the ranks as pressures exposed the failures of the system.
Out tribe is strong and the fight for sanity carries on. More families are deciding to home educate their children each day. The world is getting more sane as people free themselves from the systems government uses to keep us in line.

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you, so you must forgive others. -Colossians 3:13
I am struggling with this one. I am trying to understand the supporters of Lockdowns, vaccine mandates, and masks. I want to forgive them, but it feels important to stop them first. They must be stopped from harming my family, vulnerable populations, and the very cooperative nature of our success as a species.
I will fight to protect the people I love and I will strive to always expand that circle to include as many as I can. I will keep forgiveness in my heart and welcome the authoritarians to my table, once they are defeated.

The church where my sons were baptized and attended youth groups for years has been aggressively pushing a fear narrative.
A church leader led an outdoor service that included no Scripture that I could recall immediately after (I may have missed something). She then required masks and distancing for future outdoor meetings.
Recently, they closed their doors again and went entirely “virtual.” Although youth groups are now meeting again, they are enforcing masks and social distancing and pushing vaccines, measures that have shown to be ineffective in making anyone healthier in spirit or body.
I asked the youth leader to remove us from that email list, as these restrictions violate my sons’ freedom to follow Christ as their hearts call them to. I stated that we feel abandoned by the church and copied the lead pastor, who was already aware of my feelings, on the email.
His response shocked me a little.
A member of his church feels abandoned, so he volunteers to erase me from the rolls?
Before Lockdown, we were in this building multiple times a week between services, Bible studies, volunteer work, and many other meetings and events. My late wife’s cremains rest in the inner courtyard. It was our spiritual home, the place we were Baptized into the Body of Christ.
There is relief in me as I see it as an unveiling of the true nature of this congregation. There is also deeply hurtful pain and a fear that there are other wolves in sheep’s clothing in my life.
We are blessed by those who exclude us, especially when they preach inclusion. It is the villianous Doublespeak of the devils of Orwell’s 1984: Freedom is Slavery, War is Peace, Ignorance is Strength…Exclusion is Inclusion.
I have new spiritual homes and I know that my relationship with Christ is in my heart, it needs no building, nor pastor.

Ian Miller has compiled thousands of charts comparing populations with varying mask dictates and consistently found that masking policy plays no statistical part in how Covid-19 affects people.
The lies of politicians, beaurocrats, and the corporate media are tearing people apart and causing conflict where it need not be.
Hear what Miller has to say, buy his book, and don’t worry, we are out here maskless, ready to welcome you home.

Delaware’s Governor has given businesses less than 24 hours to enforce an arbitrary and useless indoor mask mandate.
Masks have done nothing to make people healthier. They have done nothing to prevent dis-ease.
Take a look at comparative charts culled from real world data about mask mandates in Tom Woods’s Covid Charts CNN Forgot.
The Governor has once again overstepped his authority and declared an unlawful regulation of business on faulty grounds.
Many believed that if we followed the Governor’s rules that this would not happen again. If we do not defy these orders, arbitrary mandates will never cease to flow from the offices of tiny tyrants.
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ. -Galatians 1:10
I’m getting, at least, half of this right.
I was told I should use my energy to be honest with my children about the threat they pose to their loved ones.
And what if I shared that “truth”? What happens when a loved one gets sick and dies, as is inevitable in a life full of loving support? How do my sons not feel responsible for that death? How could I curse them with a guilt that I know too well? A guilt they may already feel over their mother’s passing?
I will not gain the approval of someone who says my sons are dangerous carriers of disease. Does that get me closer to God? Further from the prince of lies?
In other madness-of-our-times news, a friend is watching her husband slip away in a hospital that won’t let her, nor their children, say what they need to say to him at his bedside.
I remember the moments between hopelessness and resolution, discovering in my heart that I would never see my wife’s smile again. I was by her side the entire time. We felt each other in that room when our souls said, Goodbye.
Those are some of the most important moments in my life. God let me watch her rise to Heaven. I needed that vision when I was alone with her mortal coil. I needed that vision to balance the horrors of that day.
The cruelty to separate people in times of trauma and loss is incalculable. My anger at supporters of Lockdown reddens my eyes to tears. I would burn that place down trying to get in. I would say Fuck You to the whole world.
I wouldn’t please anyone. That’s my overcorrection.
Martin Luther King Jr. taught to love the oppressor, as Jesus teaches us to love our neighbor. My heart struggles to grow big enough and my mind strains under the weight of that injunction.

A few months ago the bad guys tried to marginalize the Lab Leak Theory concerning the source of Covid-19. Brave investigators pursued the story and podcasters like Joe Rogan and Tom Woods let them speak publicly.
With enough people fighting censorship by governments, social media giants, and their lackey parrots, the truth was forced into spotlight. This exposed the cracks in a narrative tyranny that seemed invincible.
The fight will never end. Truth will always be unpopular and the forces behind false narratives will always be resourced. However, truth has some fantastic warriors on its side. Woods and Rogan are two of many, but their shows are consistently a place for open discussion and unpopular opinions.
This week, their guests tackled the Lab Leak Theory and the broader response to Covid-19. Woods is a much shorter show, but I encourage you to invest the time to listen to both of these conversations.
Human responses to fear can’t be understood in logical terms, but humans are only logical when it comes to what they are motivated to achieve. “Safety” is as much perceived as one’s place in the social order as it is in the complicated hierarchy of actual threats. There’s a lot of truth to that. I see it in my own close friend group. We can take certain risks others can’t because we know we have a solid team behind us. When the TV tells you the team won’t be there if you don’t follow instructions, well…you get 2020 and 2021 and 2022 and…
