    Hey folks, some of you have pointed out a mistake I made in reference to Wagner. He was Hitlers favourite composer and his work often gets criticized for that. My point was, that doesn't matter if the work itself stands on it's own. That was the thrust of my point. Thanks for those who spotted it. My apologies.

    Curtis, you are so right. Everyone is on an individual journey. Rather than stress about world events this week I planted two young apple trees and 3 bush cherries in my food forest, plus a lot of useful perennials. Today, while everyone was stressing about Friday the 13th, I spent time at the lumberyard acquiring fencing materials to continue deer-fencing my property. The things that matter right now are personal self-sufficiency, personal responsibility, personal evolution, and sending love and light out into the collective consciousness. Be kind to those you encounter. Be well, everyone!

      Same - I made a point yesterday Friday the 13th to go sell a new region and met several great small businesses and made a sale despite "the global day of jihad and looming solar eclipse" ... with a cylinder misfiring over Vail Pass and back home with a new sale to a new location. 💯✊️🌲🙌

    The ability to listen to a message and recognize what is truth and what isn't is a valuable skill. Because in our imperfect world today we will never get pure truth from anyone.

But when I spend some time looking into the latest thing I can’t get a straight answer and just feel like I wasted more of my time. So I have to commit to working on myself and doing what brings me joy.

Calling something a psyop doesn't negate the fact that innocent lives are affected and that groups aren't going to react in a manner that they see best. A psyop doesn't mean it's necessarily fake. It only means that the surface reason for it is false.

      Was it the Herb Fairies series? My kids really enjoyed them and learned a lot about plants. I'm always looking for good recommendations for kids myself.

    I think the wedge issue is Islam itself. I now have new neighbors around the corner. Introduced myself to the Imam, as he was just finishing up pacing the property and blessing it. Lots of cars coming and going, usually late at night for some reason. Women? I saw one old woman. Other than that, just men. No kids. But . . . they had a speedboat. Interesting, I thought. I found out from the Imam they are from Bangladesh. None of them speak English. I should be relieved . . . Bangladesh. Because back in February of 2002 I crashed a Homeland Security meeting; heard the lecture of a Mr. Narayanan. A former head of India's CIA. He expressed his condolences for the 3,000 lost on our 911. He then added that India had experienced the loss of 30,000 lives to "tourism". He didn't stop there. He mentioned that five of the seven "tourist" groups operated out of Pakistan (an American ally). So, I can give a sigh of relief, right? But I'm still puzzling about that speedboat. Where are they going? What are they doing? I've never seen any of the men in anything but business casual attire. Or through the windows at night I can see one dressed in the traditional Dhoti cloth . . . something like you might recall Gandhi wearing in the old films. Maybe they wear the traditional clothing during prayer (5 times a day). Okay, you don't speak English. But you're out in a speedboat on which lake? Border Patrol keeps catching these huge caches of Fentanyl crossing our Texas border. How much of that would it take to overdose the water supply? Of Dallas? Of Fort Worth? Lucky for me I don't drink the City Water. Or do I? Where I get my R.O. water . . . a gal who cleans pools claimed "this is the best". Down to less than 5ppm of anything. The City Water? Up around 300ppm sometimes. She said, not me. Chances are, if the water got hit, everyone who was going to would check out before I worked through all my 5 gallon jugs and went for a refill. But these are the kind of thoughts, Curtis. Kinda like the Muslims taking flying lessons at Huffmann Aviation and Florida Flight Training who were not interested in learning how to land the planes, prior to 911. I actually got passed on I-35 by Ziad al Jarra flying past me, turban flowing in the open wind of the convertible. I followed him up to 110mph, but dropped back after that. He was headed for his flight lessons at Max Westheimer Field on the North Base of Norman, Oklahoma. I visited them after 911 and confirmed. He was the 20th who did not participate in whatever actually happened that day. Islam is the perfect wedge. Because Jihad is inseparable from Islam. I've tried to get a Muslim to take an Oath of Ahimsa (non-violence). They won't.
