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.

That looks like a good place to herd all the progtards to. Lure them in with non-gendered green tea & nasty burnt taste soy lattes,Starbucks style.
All are Welcome.
Yesterday I passed the neighborhood park,a pleasant,grassy,treed place. Two young guys were shootin’ hoops at the small court,and nearby,a young mother was seated in the playground area,attending to her baby in the stroller. Two other small children were investigating the slide & swings. The weather here in AZ is gorgeous now,perfect temps and brilliant blue skies.
Passed by there today. The B-ball court was roped off with yellow & black “caution” tape.
The playground area even more so.
There was a small group,family maybe,lounging under a tree a ways from the yellow-tape scary areas.
Drove around it twice wondering WTF had happened in less than 24 hrs?
Yeah,I get that kids are bacterial/viral vectors of doomsday,and everything we or they touch will make us die horribly unless constantly sanitized to the nth degree.
But,seriously? Humanity managed to survive and prosper in the eons before antivirals & antibiotics,somehow.
Are we that pussified we are not allowed to enjoy fresh air unless properly authorized?
Nori – up here in Washington State, you are now forbidden from fishing in state waters. Even by yourself. How fishing is connected to the Chinese Virus is anyone’s guess – as long as you’re a Democrat.
Gerard, I do actually think we’re on a countdown timer to an unimaginable SHTF outcome.
