Knock me over with a feather, why doncha. This is one of the best Unbekommings I have read. Some things didn't feel right as I was growing up. Basically (almost) everything I was taught in schools about the greatest country on the face of the earth. Then came my work history, affirmative action and the execution of 4 good men, I think great men, that tore me up. Repetitive stories, same plots, same conclusions, ahh no, I think not. Then here comes the 80's.

OJ dominated the news media for just about a year. It struck me that there must be other news in the world, no, that's not being reported other than the OJ trials daily blow by blow. Turns out a lot was happening during our distraction.

I remember when you could set your watch to meteorologists weather predictions, that's gone. Major store & school closings due to snow storm coming in, then no snow. Now we have HAARP, astounding people don't know about weather manipulation. they never look up. When you bust out of Catholic school, 10 years looking down in humility, you finally look up and I did. Foreign crops, that we depended on, our own citrus industry literally frozen out, being destroyed, oh well, Juan Valdez won't be shipping us coffee this summer. Always put the blame elsewhere. What made me wake up? 9/11. Nary a second did I believe the story. What put me in the stratosphere?.

Covid. I read everything I could get my hands on. I read the law. I looked up 10,000 words to read definitions in medical abstracts. I listened to crazy medical doctors, turns out they weren't crazy. Repeat articles, I skipped. Once and done, went back, repeat that. They knew too much so they were wiped off but I saved those.

It's been about 40 years now. I alway knew the only thing necessary to make a lie the truth, is repetition. No proof though, except that gut feeling. Why am I getting sick after taking a FDA approved drug when taking nothing and listening to my mother, I was fine. FDA hit my radar 1st. Covid made my bullshit meter work overtime. Now we have all the information at our fingertips if you know where your source material is coming from, who owns google, youtube and facebook.

A budding serial killer would be more truthful than those guys. Christoff......good show.

Outside my cabin window, the late winter camellia bush is bursting in full magenta glory. The setting full moon at 6am sunrise was otherworldly, wreathed in silken streamers of misty fingers. Listening and reading this Stack sitting in the sun next to the humming pittosporum bush brimming with bees, I’m speechless. It’s as though timeless awareness has split into fragments and I’m floating on an island of pure beauty while witnessing a lifetime of bullets dodged, unknowingly, like a foolish cartoon character.

Once again thank you Brother, for illuminating another fragment of my hapless ignorance.

My chanticleer salutes you in full throated joy!
