Understand this great cosmic truth: The universe operates on an ecosystem of automatic abundance, where mass is abundant (and free), and mass can be converted into energy at nearly zero cost (via hot fusion, cold fusion, LENR, etc.). Automatic abundance is intelligently designed into the very laws of physics.
Energy, in turn, can be used to create fuels and fertilizer, two inputs necessary for affordable food. In addition, the universe provides the sun which brings us heat, energy and photosynthesis, all for free.
My father used to run an electricity sub-station In New Zealand. When the power supply, went out, he would get phone calls from angry consumers telling him - no demanding - that he do something to fix it.
He would patiently explain to them that the problem was not with the power supply, but with the power boards whose job it was to maintain the supply of electricity to their homes. Could they just contact their power boards?
They simply did not understand.
So, my father would tell them about the Cook Strait Cable.

In 2017, Sonya Carson passed away aged 88. She was the mother of Dr Ben Carson, world-renowned neurosurgeon, writer, politician and man of faith.
As Dr Carson said at the time of her death:
“All that I am is because of the love of my mother. She was one of God’s greatest blessings to me, and it was her foresight and discernment that pushed me to reach my dreams.”
When I feel sick or down in the dumps, I try and distract myself with something that is uplifting and cheerful As William Shakespeare said so eloquently in " The Tempest " Misery makes strange bedfellows. "
My old Gran used to tell me that misery loves company - in other words, don't feel sorry for yourself or you will end up surrounded by people and thoughts that make you feel even worse.

As our world becomes more corrupt, complicated and seemingly hopeless, we need to use our minds to seek hope from those who have proven, beyond shadow of doubt, that good can triumph.
I saw an image today that struck me as being quite profound. I called it " white privilege. "
It made me wonder how our countries have travelled so far from reality that we are now expected to believe in this myth that we are thinking ourselves superior?
When, on 20th April 1653, Oliver Cromwell blasted the Rump Parliament in Britain, he gave a speech that could well be delivered in Parliaments around the world today. His passionate words were those of a man who had had a gutful of the lying, self serving people who were betraying their country to get a slice of a very corrupt and tainted pie.
When I re read this speech this morning, I could not help but think that it is time for a global cleanout of the cesspits we call Parliament and how our Politicians are over fed vultures feeding on the Carcass of the People they were elected to protect and represent.

I thought long and hard about writing and publishing this article as I realise that the subject matter is disturbing to many people, including myself. It was very difficult to have to confront some of the material and I have tried to write it as sensitively as possible. I can only imagine how Judith Reisman must have felt on a daily basis.
So my apologies in advance if you feel repulsed by the contents ( as do I ) but we cannot pretend that it doesn't exist. In fact, it is getting worse at an alarming rate.
Any serious effort to end the crisis must deal with the problem of the administrative state and the bureaucratic power thereof. Without that focus, no reform effort can get anywhere. That is surely a main takeaway from the trauma of our times.
The solution has to be drastic and it has to work. The reason is simple: a free and functioning society cannot coexist with an undemocratic beast like this on the loose, making its own laws and running roughshod over rights and liberties with zero oversight from elected leaders. Until the administrative state is defanged and disempowered, there will be no representative government and no hope for change.
As many of you know, Redhead and I are mother and daughter. We have been in this relationship for coming up 70 years.
The other day, we had a war of words. I said that she was being short tempered and she accused me of being short tempered.
We, in short, argued.
In 1787, as Benjamin Franklin left the final session of the Constitutional Convention, he was asked what form of government the delegates had given America. “A Republic,” he answered, “if you can keep it.”
Spoiler alert: we didn’t.
In 1963, Leonard Read warned Americans that “our once-upon-a-time Republic” was degenerating into something else; "we are headed into a kakistocracy,” he wrote.
Kakistocracy means "government by the worst." Read particularly liked James Russell Lowell’s definition: “a government… for the benefit of knaves at the cost of fools.”
We now know there is a mass of contradictory information regarding COVID after irreversible damage has been done following the vaccinations. Over 80% of Americans were baited, bullied, badgered, browbeaten, or blackmailed to get the jab without thorough knowledge and thoughtful consideration.
We were assured by “the scientists” and “revered health officials” that the rushed vaccines were “safe and effective,” only to learn they are not safe nor effective.
