Also a childless widow, very much alone in this world, I have, over the past two years, started questioning everything I once believed about the world. Many times I've thought of doing as you wrote -- getting in the car and ending up at a cliff. The daily assault of living in Wonderland is a beating I hate. Thankfully, Spring has brought new beauty for the moment, and the simple things-like sighting an Oriole for the first time, watching Eastern Bluebirds nesting in the new box, and returning hummingbirds-I am thankful. I am thanking God for these daily reminders of His love for me and I sigh that I am still here, another day. The days blend one into another, and months become years. I must admit I am looking forward to leaving this flesh tent. Why God still has me here I am not sure, but for now, I remind myself everyday all I can do is trust Him and thank Him for small daily reminders of His Love. He is the same, yesterday, today and forever.
First, I am sorry for the difficulties you and others that question or try to show the truth have endured. As for myself, I have tried to convert to being a realist instead of an idealist or naivete, but I can't seem to stay there long because I am a natural optimist, and I don't like being sad. So taking action to try to change things is what I try to do. It is just part of my nature. I realize that there are much larger powers (the global elites) that have a good chance of squashing little ol' me, but I feel that if I don't do something, the thing that I can try to do and think is a good idea, I will. Thank you for your efforts. I think you are at a point where rest is earned. I will still try, for myself, family, and all of those have been trying. I have had a moment in life where a truth very dear to me was revealed in court, and I cannot describe the overwhelming feeling of redemption. So much burden removed from me. I will keep trying for all those burdened with the knowledge and truth, and to stop even just one more person from getting harmed. Peace.

Some good exercise making aerobic compost, healthy food from the garden, fishing and hunting adventures, learning what can be foraged around the place and you're thoughts will clear up nicely. That thrill ride will be too short to consider. In the other side of the correction will be plenty for everyone for awhile as you allude. But if you do go over the edge, Monica, please run over Bill Gates first.
Thank you for this. Even though it was made by the military, I’m thankful for the Internet and being able to find others like you, making this time not feel so alone. I think you’re right, as much as we push for it, we will not get the outcome we want- trials, those doing this held accountable. There’s always going to be a fall guy or corporation, it’ll be swept under the rug, and mostly forgotten in 20 years. I already see people wanting to move on, not think about the fact that they were duped and possibly destroyed their bodies. The mass psychosis continues. For the deaths that happen because this time, the ones left will have to pick up the pieces, adapt. I worry about how many orphans there may be. But I will continue to speak up and try to make a difference- and at the very least raise my children to have a healthy distrust of authority.
Sending peace. It is a long journey, 100%. I find it eerie that US and NZ are two places allowing pharma adverts direct. I seem to recall the only two?? Anyway, the people here in US are 5% population and consume approaching 70% of the pharma output, and have worst life expectancy for developed “wealthy” country.... 🤔. Keep telling the truth. It is inspiring for many, many people.
An interesting read Monica. Firstly the technical information is very good. But you then move onto a far bigger discussion point. I have resorted to trying to control and work with things in my immediate sphere of knowledge and relationships. Thus family and lifestyle are paramount and not worrying so much about the big picture.
When I do delve into the big picture it becomes an observational exercise where I tell myself I am many miles above the things I am observing and thus looking down and not being immediately surrounded and fearful of the observations. It has helped me be more "peaceful" and thus focused.
I think this is a fairly realistic take on what the future has in store. I laughed out loud at the statement that the average murican has 6 months of food stored up - same thought has occurred to me several times when contemplating what famine will look like.
The future is never quite as shiny and cool as we expect, but neither is it as grim and dystopian. The WEFites are moving forward with their plans, but not all of their plans are working and indeed it seems they're way behind schedule; the livestock are mostly going along (still!), but less and less, and the 'waking up' effect is a one way ratchet. The whole thing just shambles forward into a greater morass of suck, but it can't suck forever.
It’s a strong fiery article and it gives me hope there’s folks out there resisting tyranny with so much passion. It doesn’t feel nihilistic because I get that you’re in control.
I’m not just being a contrarian, I swear, but I do believe that we can turn this ship around. Not in rebuilding rotted away institutions. But adhering to “be the drop that tips the bucket”. Just do what is yours to do and I do the same, and everyone else, ditto.
I’m ok with clipping my expectations. I don’t need a Nuremberg 2.0. I don’t need anyone to be hanged or “pay” for their crimes. I would much prefer if we dissolve these institutions, remove the psychopaths from power and live free and simple in small communities. I can let go of punishing anyone, or taking credit for anything I’ve done for the resistance as long as we get the type of future we can be happy in.
To the degree that WE THE PEOPLE continue to play the pre-determined ideological games, divide into the pre-determined political camps, and continue to give our children to the pre-determined state institutions, then WE ARE DOOMED to the same degree.
I have a lot of silly ideas to pull people from these predetermined paths, the two I put online this week (still works in progress) are https://dailyprogress.org for EDU and https://nosearch.org for free speech, and I have many more under construction.
My sadness comes from the general lack of support I find for my ALT ideas and ALT solutions, but then again maybe I am misguided.
I believe we CAN overcome all of this, however I see disunity, unorganized efforts, and short-sighted objectives consuming most people and resources.
Voting RED offers a reprieve, but it is not a SOLUTION.
We need to replace failing institutions:
BigEDU, BigTech, BigPolitics, BigMedia, BigReligion... with ALT ideas and solutions.
I feel like giving up often, but keep coming back. FAITH + WORKS = HOPE.

Hi Monica,
thanks for a very interesting post. Very personally revealing wasn't it? Which doesn't mean I perceived the revelation correctly. I may well have misunderstood.
My take was that you see yourself as on a downhill run. Getting close to the Thelma and Louise thing.
My hope is to proffer a little encouragement to turn that around as see it all as evolutionary progress no matter how bloody awful it looks at the moment.
I remember my mother, whenever I complained of something that had happened to me would always say 'never mind, love, worse things happen at sea'.

Bravo Monica. Well said, couldn't agree more.
Keep getting the message out.

"My message to everyone, for what it’s worth, is to guard yourself against disappointment."
It's like I said of my 38 year community pharmacist "career." "Enjoy the little victories, you probably won't have any big ones."

Exactly! To hell with this, we are gonna live!

Keep putting your thoughts out there. As Heinlein wrote: "Specialization is for insects."
