Thank-you! Thank-you!! Thank-you!!! ....for this stack today. It's what I needed, very badly, to "hear." I try so hard to wake up people that matter to me. Only to see that patient smile on their faces, that says, "Just humor them. They're old, you can't expect them to be sharp anymore."
But yeah, it's the end of the times to the corrupt money changers run the show! That's why I think the Bible was written from the perspective of the ruling class at the time, as they had the means to mass produce and spread the word.
Like you I've grown up seeing the horror of the situation.
People thought Iraq was a good war, then Yugoslavia, then Iraq etc...
Meanwhile the economy was being pumped up and up into the stock market. I thought rising home costs will just fuck the working class but people didn't think so. They bought into the scam that the wealthy do... "Investments" by being tricked that their house would make them wealthy.
And so on... In medicine, in physics... I saw the bullshit but because many didn't... I felt depressed because well, shit won't change it people go with it!
But con-vid was the greatest gift that brought home all the horror of the predator class. Thankfully they fucked up over and over...
Now they're trying to regain trust...
And now today I no longer feel crazy to mention the issues that are going on because people are no longer hiding under the "American dream".
Great post. They say that God permits evil only so that he can bring about a greater good. As terrible as the past couple of years have been, they've also inspired a lot of positive change. Some will be asleep forever, but I think more people than ever before are aware that something is very wrong. The question now is what they will do about it.
Thank you for these wonderful thoughts. I don't read just to get my own opinions reinforced, but it is nice to find that I and my family are not alone in a wilderness. My wanderings around the world have introduced me to people who have (and do) live under terrible tyrannies, yet they can still manage to live good, fulfilled, and moral lives, staying true to their faith. "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's ..." comes to mind. Truly, I grieve to watch the tragic dismantleing of that which is based on correct principles. My grandchildren already can not enjoy liberties I have known. Yet, they have been taught correct principles and our lives are blessed for it. Life is good.
Welcome to The Rumble Strip OldDave. Thanks for your excellent comment. "Raise up a child in the way they should go..." We may watch them fall flat on their faces (like many of us have done at times) but, in most cases, they will return to those principles if they were taught well *and seen practiced* by their instructors! :)
Rob, you were ahead of your time obviously. For me, it took a lot longer to wake up. Before then, I was oblivious. By the way, I didn't know there were so many different "pills" now. I can't keep up!
Haha. Well, most of the time, I stay away from *all* pills, the real ones and the philosophical ones! Thanks, as always, for being part of The Rumble Strip. :)

You're welcome Bandit! Thank you for chiming in! :) Celebrate being awake!
Me, too, Rob D. Good to see the positive note. xo xo
The end of times is actually a change of times.

Thanks Fat Rabbit Iron! I agree... and like I mentioned in another comment... we should celebrate being awake. Not let it get us down. :)

It is hard to get a good night's sleep.
Am currently yawning away reading Substacks after midnight.
I see now the futility of trying to *fit in*, and why it was so difficult.
I do not know anyone else in my city who has not had the vax.
They must exist, but I have not met them.
No wonder my thinking never aligned properly with them BC ( before COVID).
Rob, you were ahead of your time obviously. For me, it took a lot longer to wake up. Before then, I was oblivious. By the way, I didn't know there were so many different "pills" now. I can't keep up!
P.S. Thanks for the encouragement. It's so easy to fall into despair these days.
My pleasure. :)
