We are in a deadly pickle. Everyday this is reinforced by word announcing horrible

acts of criminality by powerful wealthy, and apparently, near demonic forces. It brings

to mind East Berlin and the evil Stazi that reveled in punishing/torturing the Germans

living there. My mother had cousins trapped in that city. Eventually it was allowed for

the people to receive "packages" or rather metal coffee cans with items otherwise denied,

twice a year? Maybe only once a year, I can't remember for sure. My Mother labored over

the coffee can contents. My Mother and Dad did not talk that often about their ordeal

or that of the East Berliners. I learned to read before I could comfortably speak English yet

I taught myself to read. I read volumes and studied beyond my age, and learned early that

man was brutal toward other humans under their control. The wealthy power barons say

openly that they intend to depopulate and control to a T any survivors. (The white Europeans

seem a prime target.) I think some 1/2 the population is in denial and rationalizing current

events. Maybe they think they will be spared by voting the Dem. tickets? The other 1/2 may

be in various stages of shock. I confess: I did not vote. I don't feel guilty about it (much)

because I know voting is futile. I am in shock also but not paralyzingly so. I do not "go along

to get along" and I don't follow fads. I was a nurse with 2 main goals, one was to teach and

the other was to alleviate pain in surgical aftermath. I like most people actually and want to

be helpful and kind leaving any persons feeling good about themselves. I do my best.

What can I do to add gain to the goal of freedom? Not very much, but I do not model

compliance. I keep to myself mostly, mind my home and cook, and endlessly try to keep

my old farmhouse clean. Only one cat and one dog (he is always drooling) with short hair.

I have a husband and he needs attention galore. So I am busy. The idea of marching, carrying

signs, protesting and so on just isn't my forte, my bag. Most of my life I was actively rebelling

against the whatever system I was in. I confronted physicians openly about the practices I

didn't agree with, and I did the same in all areas. I will not conform. I will not play games

to be accepted or adopt phony personality traits. Maybe that behavior will inspire the

same attitude in others, I hope so, because my age and strength are not rigorous. I do wait

on the fringe however in case I am needed

Time to go Henry Bowman on the system. Nothing is going to change...the last election proved that. The “new” Congress is just “meet the new boss, same as the old boss”. Sad.
