“ “We’re making you sick, maiming you and killing you, but you better shut the f*ck up because we’re going to make you sick, maim and kill you” is the message all of us have heard shouted and whispered into our brains through various nefarious means for years now.
As true as this may be, and it is verifiably true - we are indeed being made sick, maimed and killed - push the green velvet curtain to the side, and you’ll find one befuddled, old man putting on a grand show, flipping the switches, turning the dials, and pulling the levers of his man-made machine, like at the end of The Wizard of Oz.
Priest: Do you forgive everyone that has ever hurt you?
What a question… A trillion $ question that only God can help me answer in the way it needs to be answered.
As I struggle with this, I know that people need to heal, to reclaim their health now. As quickly as we can, and as openly and transparently as we can - so we don’t lose more friends, neighbours, family and other loved ones - we need to share credible information urgently so the truth can find all of us.
And let’s be clear, the sickening, the maiming, the poisoning, the killing of us - the endless unauthorized, non-disclosed experimentation on and violotion of us, our children, our neighbours, the water, the sky, the earth and all living things - has to stop. It’s gotta stop now.
All of us need to do something to make this happen. Whatever each of us can do. We can all do something.“
