People, Wake Up

I don't have friends, nor enemies – only people who let me in and those who shut me out.... Friend and Foe, are yet a battlefield. Sadly, love is what is left, only after all else fails.... The world will be in pieces, before we are made whole.

Prince de Mino..I am not afraid of Covid. Death is coming for everyone of us. Epoch Times-has a piece today about how they fudged the numbers. Exactly. Australian Police are being awful. Some of us won’t hide. That’s me. Sometimes opening our mouths wakes others up: Biden wants us to shut up.not me. “ the more things change, the more they stay the same.” We can all go forward in freedom or follow the new Nazis in all nations, I tell them to get out of my way, take a hike!

I understand what you are saying. Of course, voice your dissent, and fight for freedom. One should never give up. I would rather not live if I were not free.

Everyone wants to change the world -- looks flashy, nice headlines, documented in books...which eventually deteriorate, and history becomes myth; we are not born to change the world. We are born to change self -- the world will follow in kind.

For sure; the whole is fractured. Elite parts foolishly believing they can stand alone -- calling on the masses when needed, controlling the chain of supplies. The vast majority of youth today seem ready to bow down to totalitarian authority, rather than stand for a just cause -- Hope I am wrong.
