If, as I have come to believe is the case, we are being systematically lied to, deceived, mind-controlled, propagandized and trained from the youngest possible age (after bring initially, then multiple times periodically in the ensuing years, shot with toxic poisons to weaken and render our God-given protective systems and brain functions either dysfunctional or severely impaired and prone to disease AND to cause us to be more susceptible to the lies and deceptions that are manifold and constant, present & even rampant in every facet of the "systems" that supposedly were created to support, protect and engender our flourishing) to accept, embrace and actively support and validate by our experiences and belief systems that we are "sovereign" creatures, with "free will" and that we're the "masters of our destinies" and that we're both able and fully empowered to choose within the (fallen) world system erected around us the future that we desire and are qualified or enabled to apprehend by our own efforts and determination and the alignment of our values and aspirations with the majority that we believe all around us are noble and share our values and ethics, then we will have no difficulty believing that the war (all wars) and "conflicts" are being fought to preserve the good and to eliminate or eradicate or at least contain the evil that is so pervasive, then the rationale being cited for what is occurring in several "theaters" (note it's entrainment and entertainment, not reality) will not allow us to discern properly what is truly occurring and who the real "good" and "bad" players are (or we'll simply accept what we're told without reflection or further deliberation).
If, on the other hand, we reject the standard issue lies, deceptions and representations that are routinely passed off as valid and politically incorrect to question and instead think more critically about what we see, are told and can deduce and extrapolate, realizing that we are being showered with fear, with uncertainty, with insecurity and with the "threat" of losing the comforts and even basic and often taken for granted enjoyment of the daily living out of our lives unencumbered and unharrassed and unscathed by forces "beyond our control," and those of the ones who have convincingly (or not so) asserted themselves as the leaders, decision makers and righters of wrong, the "enforcement" of what must be at the cost of lives and freedoms we imagine are part of the illusion we've been given of "rights" including ours to "flourish" and prosper, to further defeat and demean those things we hold dear, then we may (though still somewhat unclearly) extrapolate that another agenda is in play that is in fact detrimental to us and to all we have assumed / been told was ours by birthright.
If our lives have been awakened and restored to right standing with the Creator and lover of the ones He placed within the universe and specifically the planet as we know it called earth -- the One who actually at one point, came in human flesh and walked among our ancestors, experienced life on our level of existence, and lived the perfect, sinless life we cannot, then willingly gave Himself up to torture and death (AND RESURRECTION FROM DEATH TO LIFE ETERNAL) to free us from a debt we could not pay through a sacrificial system we to which we did not subscribe (but which was none the less binding), demonstrating repeatedly how corrupt and self-aggrandizing even the religious systems of that (and this!) time were (and are!), and how prized, valued and special each human life was and is, we would begin to better understand the machinations of a fallen world system that is antithetical to Him and His accomplished mission of love and deliverance and restoration and healing and the reawakening of destiny for those He created and has loved and desired to have as His own, and we would be better able to see and understand the intent of the craziness and chaos being fomented all around us....and its many objectives - not the least of which is to complete the prison being built from numerous vectors and even dimensions over the centuries to imprison us and to reduce us to utilitarian tools for the furtherance of those who have aspired to reign -- that they have sought to implement all around and in us, even using us to further their ends or disposing of us when we're no longer of utility value.
SO for myself, the destruction of all existing (what for those who would rule saw as temporal and transitional) structures, institutions, beliefs and affinities or preferences must be executed. Wars are the ideal means to distract and to enlist emotional and righteous indignation and calls for "government" solutions (secular, human-conceived of and installed) and to keep the masses divided and distracted. The "solutions" presently being readied for imposition on the largely unsuspecting populations will be harsh and used to cull, sicken and to forge further polarization of the masses against one another (versus the perpetrators of these lies and the implications acting on them has for all who dwell on planet earth) while installing the ultimate methods and mechanisms of absolute control (those developed, refined and enhanced over decades, perhaps centuries), surveillance and the continued dissemination of deceptions, lies and confusion about who we are and why we're here and what we must DO to "survive" (whatever that might mean -- to preserve an untainted species in a toxic world?).
One of the key objectives of the "war" is the ruination of the present economic systems of many countries, including what we know and believe to be the social construct known as the United States (a huge corporation, composed of both private and public persons who have been accorded "authority" to act representatively for the masses who are clueless and too scared to move against any "perceived authority.") Famines, the imposition of more and more restrictive "laws" to dictate acceptable and non-acceptable behavior, including source and use of monies, forms permitted and restrictions and parameters on where, when and what is being acquired (or denied or eliminated from choice altogether) with whatever is provided, and changes in habitation, behavior and experiences of "life" are all following. Thought crimes are already being enforced regionally and stating out loud the obvious truths of the lies and deceptions will soon be grounds for capital punishment.
For we who have chosen Jesus Christ, what is done to our bodies and to our "freedom" and with our "money" are lesser important issues than "what are we here for?" "What purpose and objective (and value) does my life have, regardless of circumstance or punitive implications of the currently ruling regime?" "How can we live in a way that acknowledges and promotes the true eternal life that is ours in Jesus - that does not change or diminish, and holds us firmly to the end -- and guarantees that we will live forever with Him?" - that we already possess His eternal life and that our daily lives, no matter how restricted or imposed upon cannot eclipse what He has done and is doing -- that we were created to be "governed" by God, and no other lesser earthly systems, that we were given free choice to choose Him and receive His life or to reject Him and receive the sentence of death. That we were placed here for HIM and His purposes, not our own, and that living from Him, we fulfill the purposes for which we were made and for which we live. That it is HIS government an rule that we would choose when given an other option.
Have we purchased, as part of the lies we've believed/been sold and with which we've been indoctrinated the entirety of our lives, the false notion that clinging desperately to a life lived in this realm that serves a purpose other than the one for which we we were placed here should guide our choices and the course we steer through some of the seemingly most difficult of challenges we will soon face? That they do not care and in fact would like to see us eliminated to better accomplish their pernicious plans, but that they do not realize there will ultimately be retribution for their actions, should comfort us even as our temporal circumstances and experiences here in this realm become less and less "free", while our spirits soar and we take flight in the spiritual realm from which we came and are destined to return....if we live for Him, the rest falls into place and we're no longer their captives...those whom the Son has set free are free indeed....
What can we say, @redeemeddissident? We stand shoulder to shoulder with you, having followed Sha'ul's advice in Ephesians 6, ready to serve Yeshua HaMashiach fully and completely. Lo Ira!
Your faithful, respectful, yet incisive exploration and dissemination of truth in a world of deceit and lies IS a POWERFUL attestation that ministers to those with ears to hear and minds to think. Persist! His love and care safeguards us until the open window closes, and we’re redirected….
I'll be 72 this month, and both of my parents were members of "The Greatest Generation"... they experienced the utter economic and social brutality of the great depression, and the rationing and uncertainty of WWII in real time as children and young adults (my dad fought in the Pacific Theater of War as a Combat Engineer in the Army's Americal Division)... I can't even imagine how difficult those times must have been... But I can imagine this... How ashamed they would be of their fellow countrymen of today with the incessant sissy-ass bitching, moaning, and groaning over something as trivial as gas prices, and whether or not they would be able to go on their summer vacation to Yellowstone this year. As much as I miss my mom and dad, I'm glad they didn't live long enough to be ashamed of the whiny little bitches that Americans have become. jmo
Birthday greetings from all of us here at Collapse Life!
We get you loud and clear. We miss our grandparents -- from the same generation as your mom and dad -- who (lucky for us) instilled in us that life is tough and that moments of joy are supposed to be the exception, not the rule... and thus are to be savored as such.
We are who we are because of those and many other lessons, which we took to heart.
There are effective measures to be taken when people disagree with their government's policies and actions... Whining like little spoiled brats is not an effective measure... I think this article by David A. Hughes will illustrate my point... https://davidahughes.net/remembering-the-marches/ ... After people have read the article, I want to draw everyone's attention to the fact that America isn't on David's list of countries who told their government that their draconian measures wrt Covid had to stop ... And what do Americans do... we riot and burn and tear the hell out of our cities over some THUG named George Floyd who attacked a police officer and got his ass shot for his stupidity... Americans need to get their heads out of their asses if they want changes in their government... and that goes for starting wars, especially... just say'n.
Musing as I'm remediating my current diet due to a Diverticulitis Flare.
And as a RN who delights in systems, I am going compare/contrast your wonderful question to our collective world gut health, but only briefly. And without gory details. There may be science terms.
How bad does the 'pain' in my gut get before I take action for change? Somewhere between dietary supplements and nutrient change versus serious health seeking medications and urgent care visits.
Most of us go along consuming what is convenient, plentiful , and lower cost without thought. There are better ways to live which take conscious effort, recommendation seeking, and layered nuances to activate. Most importantly, because of both our own and outside influences, the 'better' path is harder now. And feels almost insurmountable.
We all stroll merrily along, digesting what we think we want without awareness of consequences.
Or, a smaller pain will divert and motivate modification before the whole pathway explodes. A lot of people, through lower education and denial would say the pain is from an outside source. "Food poisoning" or "Food bug". As if they have no control of the inputs. They are unaware of the 50-70% occurrence in the population of 'weakness' with pockets of corruption in their 3 tiered alimentary course. They 'push' too much. Their 3 layered (*) pathways has been pressured and found supposed 'exits' . But these are stagnating 'pod' spaces.
Wait. Am I talking about the digestive system or our responses to climate change and oligarchy?
Hang in there.
It is only because of education and past experience that I recognize the cluster of symptoms saying 'one or two of your pockets' is causing generalized problems. The 3-6 days of drastic dietary change seems to be working but I know I have a 3-5 week regime to follow before returning to my favorite diet of fruits, nuts, complex roots veggies and garnished with protein.
But the rest of the world needs the same kind of experience and nursing to fix our behavior.
There is a lot of pain right now. There are plenty of 'perforations' and surgical actions needed. There will be intensive care for a huge number of sites. But the microbes always survive.
Anyone lucky enough to read your post is learning to understand the symptoms, hopefully taking action.
Earthside Nursing only asks the patient to do their best, listen, and start the first step with us. Your Households are adapting to the pain and can tolerate more.
I would ask where are they recognizing the symptoms and accepting they are causing the problems affecting themselves? This must happen before they adapt well enough and hopefully feel better while fixing themselves.
Did my simile work?

My mom was an RN, passed away age 55 from gut disease. I ended up dying from gut disease at age 35 in ‘08, but I had gold plated health insurance at that time, and I ended up seeing a gi doc who sold me on ultra-low carb dieting.
Gut diseases all have the same cause(s) & same cure(s), but they get different names depending on the attending physician’s personal biases (diverticulitis, Chron’s, IBS, etc.).
Check out ultra-low carb dieting.
My GI doc told me in no uncertain terms that if I placed my faith in mainstream medicine then it would kill me, not cure me.
My mom the RN, she could never let go of her faith in mainstream medicine.
I almost couldn’t let go either. But I’m alive & **thriving** today because I’ve been eating ultra-low carb, high in healthful animal fat since 2009.
We are paying over $5.00 a gallon here in Northwest Washington (Bellingham). Diesel is around $7.00 a gallon. We do have a high tax on gasoline, I suppose if the gas tax was lower, maybe we could match some of those prices listed in the article. When people started buying electric vehicles they raised tax on gasoline to pay for the road repairs. I wish they would put the actual cost of road repairs caused by heavier ev's on the ev's. We are getting killed with the cost of gas here. I still have to get to work and the grocery store. And no, I can't afford to buy an electric car or ride a bike, I'm 75 and just getting by.
In Europe (which imports all it oil) of course fuel duties make up a larger proportion of the pump price and it's sold in liters rather than gallons. This means prices are less affected than in America and more scope exists to be able to rebalance what the driver pays.
What I'm waiting to see though is how much further the 'on delivery' price will rise as futures prices are quite decoupled by market manipulations.
I don't know that I believe the projections of increased cost. They generally assume that people will be driving the same amount and that isn't always true. People will minimize their driving as cost increases.
But these high prices are not driven by actual supply shortages but by speculation and the news cycle.
It's almost as if the average family couldn't afford the Chipboard McMansion, the 3 year German Auto Lease, and the 4 years of student loans for their liberal arts degree?? But it is $5/gallon gas that they can't afford and its going to ruin them? Let them complain, but do not dare point out the reality of their situation. They will hate you for it.
