For his recent episode, Tucker Carlson revisits a former guest, Mike Rowe.  Mr. Rowe has good and humorous sense of curiosity about things, about stuff, about the real world around us, and he provides good context for examination of this pretending world that swirls our orbit at a speed greater than we can grasp.

Toward the end of this segment, Rowe is asked the oft familiar question, “Where does all this go,” and his answer opens the door to other avenues I happen to agree with. WATCH:

In response to the ‘where does all this end’ question, Rowe notes that at a certain point everything becomes personal, and in the larger context all outcomes have to manifest in reality.  I concur with Rowe on many levels, and a great example of that esoteric -v- reality position can be found all around us in the sphere of geopolitics and manipulation.

Think about the White House and State Dept message at the very beginning of Russia’s military operation in Eastern Ukraine.  Do you remember the White House briefing when questioned about “where this will end”?  {Background}

Deputy National Security Advisor and Deputy Director of the National Economic Council, Daleep Singh, was presented at the podium on the day of Russia’s first moves into Ukraine, to explain the strategic policy of the Biden administration toward Russia.

Go back in your mind to the time when anxiety around the COVID-19 pandemic was at its apex.  Think about what you saw, heard, witnessed in real life, and understood about the overall issues.  Then, remember and overlay the intensity around the 2021 vaccination demands by various health and government officials.

Think about what you witnessed, experienced, saw, read about and have an undeniable reference for, as it directly pertained to the intense drive by various government and health agencies about the vaccination protocol in 2021.

Think carefully about the fear that was generated.

Think not only about what you witnessed here in the United States, but also think carefully and remind yourself what you witnessed unfolding in the rest of what we would call the “Western world” around the COVID-19 pandemic – and the vaccination protocol specifically.

Remind yourself of the demands, not just on Americans, but people living in the areas that do not have restrictions on government and freedom for individual liberty – protections that exist uniquely in the USA under our constitution.

Remind yourself of the action of the Canadian government, the vaccine passports demanded by the EU and the Australian/NZ government.  The rules and arbitrary restrictions imposed by so-called Western government leadership.

Think about examples where you personally witnessed these issues unfolding.

Think about what you saw unfold with your own eyes.

Put your frame of reference back into that place.

Close your eyes and remind yourself, YOU DID witness these things.

Those events were real; they really did happen.  The quarantine camps were real. The “show your papers” approach was empirically true. The forced vaccination demand was real.  Travel and freedom were genuinely under the control of government authorities.  The local, state and federal police really did comply with enforcing the nonsense.

Remind yourself of all of it.

Make yourself emotionally, and psychologically revisit that time in your mind’s reference.

Now, before going forward, overlay what you remember in 2021 with the 2022 western government sanction map as a context.

In an effort to keep the Daily Open Thread a little more open topic we are going to start a new daily thread for “Presidential Politics”. Please use this thread to post anything relating to the JoeBama Administration and Presidency.

“This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can’t be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won’t be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.”

“But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.”

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

Earlier today, President Donald Trump joined grieving family and hundreds of uniformed officers at the wake for slain NYPD cop Jonathan Diller.  President Trump continues to emphasize escalating crime as he campaigns for the White House.

President Trump’s presence at the Massapequa funeral home appears intended to shine a spotlight on Diller’s senseless death during a traffic stop in Queens.

Visitation with Diller’s family will be held at the Massapequa Funeral Home at 4980 Merrick Road between 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday and Friday.  His funeral is scheduled for Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at St. Rose of Lima R.C. Church, also in Massapequa, followed by burial at St. Charles Cemetery in Farmingdale immediately after the service.

Tradition says that Jesus prayed this prayer the night he spent, imprisoned in the custody of Caiaphas the high priest, abandoned by his followers, alone.

As we prepare for the suffering of Good Friday to come, may we also prepare, as Jesus did, not to turn away from suffering, but to abandon ourselves to the mercy of God, who hears the cry of his people.

Psalm 88

Prayer for Help in Despondency

A Song. A Psalm of the Korahites. To the leader: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite.

After my latest outline, on the looming probability of a dollar based Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) {SEE HERE}, I found myself saying, “I hate to say this, but most people really don’t care. For some, the issue is esoteric, abstract, and difficult to comprehend. For others, there is a massive blanket of comfortable ambivalence until the consequences hit. For the few who understand, this is extremely troubling.”

Then I step back, breathe and reevaluate my ability to communicate.

A few recent comments have me looking for something, anything, that will help people understand the scope and breadth of what I am trying to communicate, and the challenge therein.  EXAMPLES:

[COMMENT #1] – I don’t know, this is way over my head, and I consider myself at least somewhat intelligent and informed. Other than a few twenties I keep in my wallet, all money of consequence in my life is already just digits in computer networks as far as I can perceive. I never actually see a check for my wages, much less any dead presidents.

[…] Not that I disagree, I just don’t understand. I’m at a loss as to why this is so qualitatively different as far as my financial security goes. Maybe it’s because I’m a resident of Illinois and have some sort of Stockholm Syndrome from knowing they can already, and do, raise my taxes – as much as they want, any time they want – and there is nothing to stop them. {link}

[COMMENT #2] I apologize for this stupid question, but I’m confused. How do the grey countries fit into this digital money and “world order” Pippa refers to?

Pippa states, “But what I see our superpowers introducing digital currency, the Chinese were the first the US is on the brink, I think of moving in the same direction the Europeans have committed to that as well.”

China is grey on the map, as is Russia. If we, the mapped yellow USA, are being boxed in by the Russian sanctions how is it China is grey yet they were the first to introduce a digital currency?  These insane, drunk with power “superpowers” – is their goal to color the entire world map yellow with the SWIFT network digital coin to control the entire world?  {link}

You come here for understanding the world that exists, not the one we may hope to exist.  If you are confused, I need to do a better job.

So, let me start.

I will start first with some information perhaps some do not know.
