A...You already know what I think about all of this. All I'll say is this - my father-in-law said something that absolutely horrified me the other day. No, it wasn't "Can I come live with you?" It was this, after coming from the airport: "They really beefed up security for the holidays. They do a good job at making me feel extra safe." And he wasn't being sarcastic.<br /><br />Ugh... yeah, the master plan is clearly working. All of the so-called "safety measures" that infringe on our rights? The people are eating it up and accepting it as safety. Being conditioned to not just accept it but LIKE it. Willful compliance.

We are in crazy times for sure, but it should come as no surprise and our expectations for improvement should be low. Oh sure, we might see some positive steps that might give us temporary hope and we'll see a time when peace seems to be at hand, but this will be part of the deception.<br /><br />I never thought I'd see a day when I'd have more admiration and confidence in the leader of Russia than the leader of the United States, but things are becoming topsy turvy.

("Meet the new boss; same as the old boss.") Because, in fact, the politicians are really just tools for the International Bankers (themselves being tools for satan).<br /><br />The best start we could make would be to audit and then abolish The Federal Reserve (a banking monopoly in the hands of private, international bankers).<br /><br />Until The Fed is gone, there is no hope for America. The power to coin and determine the value of money must be returned to the People via their duly elected representatives in Congress (just as it states in the Constitution).<br /><br />But, heck yeah, let's get rid of everyone anyway. Why not? They've all obviously taken an oath that they never kept.<br /><br />~ D-FensDogGStephen T.

Hope you had a wonderful time with family and friends. <br />Our country is in a world of shit right now and it has been for some time. I don't know what the answers are but I think a good start would be to get everybody who is currently serving in Congress out and get new blood in there. Start fresh! These old guys that have been there forever and their back-door deals with the lobbyists and each other sure make for some shady government.

It is always our conscious choice which secret garden we will tend… when we choose not to focus on what is missing from our lives but are grateful for the abundance that’s present — love, health, family, friends, work, the joys of nature and personal pursuits that bring us pleasure — the wasteland of illusion falls away and we experience Heaven on earth.” (Sarah Ban Breathnach)Cherdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264612202714933480noreply@blogger.com
