WHEN in the course of human Events, it becomes necessary….
Welcome to the New American Digest: 2001-2022
After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

Maybe the Lord had to do something drastic to save us from ourselves after we screwed up the real world in the Garden? It’s a proposition that has always made sense to me. The Scripture does indeed claim that someday a very real “Great Reset” will be the final reality.
The Second Coming of Christ indeed will be the true Great Reset. On that day, do we have any wonder what the world elites will do? On that day, all will go on their knees—some through joy, some through terror.
In Hinduism there is the concept of “Maya”.
“Maya connotes a magic show, an illusion where things appear to be present but are not what they seem”.
This is what we are living through these days. Nothing that once constituted sources of authority, be those the media, government proclamations or the academy, bears any relation—except by accident—to reality. Their goals are to redirect, to misinform, to obscure, to confuse. To speak the truth has itself become a crime.
Naturally this cannot go on forever. This entire shambolic construct will one day come to its end. Due to the nature and mentalities of those in power, this end will be violent—perhaps extremely so. Between truth and lies there can be no compromise, no gray areas, no nuance, no half measures. Darkness will never surrender, any more than a cancer will surrender.
“Para eliminar la rabia, hay que matar el perro.”
Prepare. And choose wisely.
Yes Mike…. There is no hope in a world of death for the humanists. Their god of scientism is nothing more than a fickle bitch. Artificial intelligence and the post modern sorcery of gene therapy is nothing but the same nonsense as Ponce De Leon’s dream of the fountain of youth. Every knee will bend.
Instead of attempting to listen to millions of philosophical lies, truly intelligent people should be seriously contemplating the simple proposition presented in “Pascal’s wager”.
I believe I’m responsible for us, not anybody else. I believe the choices I made twenty thirty years ago to begin our journey into preparedness, was exactly what was in our best interests. I believe God gave us each Reason/ Logic, to make informed choices.
I’m not counting on another living soul outside my klan to get thru.
I trust my dog Daisy, my cat Ellie more then most people.
I’m daily amused at folks who are not charting their own course, but allowing others to dictate your future. Bad shits coming, it is our own Govt i despises, I don’t trust. They’ve proven themselves to be liars cheaters, communist.
Theirs a storm coming. Your going to need more then a rain coat.
I second everything you wrote. If a man remains unprepared after all that has happened in the past few years, his survival depends solely upon luck. And luck is in short supply among those blind, oblivious and ignorant to events around them. Men cannot afford to be careless.
I put my faith in God, my friends and associates, and mister Smith and mister Wesson. And there the list ends.
I’ve long contended that blaming anyone else for just about anything that happens to you is a big mistake. As soon as you do so you’re given up control, it’s they fault, their actions, so you can’t do anything but cry about it.
If instead of whining about what they, whoever, did, you think about what you could have done or can do to change the situation, you then understand the control of your life, your world, is yours, your alone, not in their hands.
Keep that in mind, and as Ol’ Remus, RIP, said over and over, avoid crowds, and you’ll be right.
Every terrible thing that happened in my life is because of…me. It has only been by the Grace of God that I am not in prison or dead.
Amen Mike, but I’ve seen that we each have the ability to place ourselves in positions of luck. We make our own luck, based on knowledge and logic.
Luck, Karma, Insight, one has the ability to make it happen often, but not always! Luck can often be a gift from god
Those are blessed moments.
If not you, then who?
Twas ever thus.
