I remember a time when fairytales were fairytales. Times when children enjoyed childhood and a story well read at bedtime by a loving parent.
I remember when stories told to children were to soothe their little minds and create amusement and happiness as they closed their eyes and dreamt of magical creatures in far-off lands.
I remember when children were sheltered from adulthood and encouraged to be happy, safe, content, and sure in the knowledge that fairy tales were fairy tales, not stories read by hairy fairies.
" An illusion it will be, so large, so vast it will escape their perception.
Those who will see it will be thought of as insane.
We will create separate fronts to prevent them from seeing the connection between us. "
What we are seeing these days with hurricane “Ian” ravaging the Caribbean, the Florida coasts and inland, then all the way up to South Carolina – causing massive destruction of infrastructure, cropland, death of animals and people, as well as cancellations of all flights from NYC to Florida, this is a state of war.
It is also called geoengineering.
In the last couple of years it has become common place.
Common sense is the ability to use logical judgment. It is was most reasonable people would do in any situation.
The wonderful thing about it is that it does not require anything other than normal everyday practical knowledge that we pick up as we grow and experience the day-to-day thing called life.
It used to be abundant. Until things like " Racism ", "wokeism " , " climate change " and political correctness poisoned it and choked the very life out of it.
" The white Western Culture is vastly superior to the other rabble cultures of the world. No wonder those human debris peoples hate the white people so much. "
I read this some time ago and realized that it is more than about time that the White Caucasian peoples of the world stopped their cringing at every brickbat that is thrown at them by the coloured races from Africa and the Middle East.
The opening lecture that I deliver every time I teach a Principles of Microeconomics course, which I do each semester, is on what the economic historian and liberal philosopher Deirdre McCloskey calls “the Great Enrichment.” I impress upon my students (most of whom are in their late teens) that they and everyone they know are off-the-charts materially wealthier than were the vast majority of all humans who ever lived. I explain that millennia after millennia, our human ancestors breathed, toiled, and perished in poverty so grinding that we today can barely imagine it.

I would venture to say that the two most famous and well known phrases of our Australian military history are “Gallipoli” and “The Rats of Tobruk”. One was a magnificent defeat. The other was a magnificent triumph.
Field Marshall Sir William Slim, 13th Governor General of Australia and at the time, General commanding the 14th Army said after the triumph over the Japanese at Milne Bay that “…..Some of us may forget that, of all the Allies, it was the Australians who first broke the invincibility of the Japanese army and it was the Australians who first broke the invincibility of the German army.”
In speaking of the defeat of the German Army he was speaking about Tobruk.
The War of Economic Corridors has entered incandescent, uncharted territory: Pipeline Terror.
A sophisticated military operation – that required exhaustive planning, possibly involving several actors – blew up four separate sections of the Nord Stream (NS) and Nord Stream 2 (NS2) gas pipelines in the shallow waters of the Danish straits, in the Baltic Sea, near the island of Bornholm.
Renowned virologist and biomedical research scientist Dr. Judy Mikovits told the equally controversial InfoWars founder and host Alex Jones that the real agenda behind the engineered Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is to take full control of the human race following the depopulation efforts.
“The plan of globalists is to control us, put us in a place of subservience and to try to make us think our God is not all we need,” Mikovits told Jones in her recent appearance on the show. “The end game was to control your brain and movement to create human 2.0. The end game is to be God.”
I have a young friend who has just been committed to a psych unit - as I call it, a looney bin.
He is very very nervous. He speaks with himself and has illusions of grandeur. He is on a cocktail of drugs, all prescribed by his " HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL ".
It has become too difficult to cope with for the family and he has been sent to a place that no one likes to go. His civil liberties have been removed and he is now subject to " assessment "

People of a certain age will remember only too well Pastor Martin Niemöller’s poignant lament that as the Nazis hunted down groups one by one, those outside the target groups kept their head down and voice quiet in order to stay out of trouble.
“Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me.”
