HENRY KISSINGER DEAD AT 100 https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/henry-kissinger-dead-100 I thought this deserved a special place in my archive. I invite everyone who reads this to crack a beer or pop a champagne bottle, and raise a glass to acknowledge this momentous occasion, as the curtain finally falls on the worlds most ghastly gremlin. Fuck you Henry! May you burn in hell for all eternity like a Christmas Yule log.

GAZA DEVASTATION SHOWN IN SATELLITE IMAGES
https://www.bitchute.com/video/FwI7vtRIoRrc/?list=subscriptions As some of you are aware, I cannot add my responses to readers that leave their thoughts in the comment sections below my articles because my web host, iPage, has somehow managed to shadow ban me on my own website. I know, its hilarious. For whatever reason, iPage no longer provides any live technical support, and I have better things to do than wasting hours exchanging texts with a chat bot in hopes of resolving the problem. I am however able to respond to comments directly with an email, something I frequently do. Every so often the time spent doing this turns out to be a good opportunity to collect my own thoughts on a matter and occasionally my response ends up being something I later think is worthy of sharing with the class. The commenter below was very gracious and, I think, tried to offer me some encouragement, which I appreciate, after reading a recent post which conveyed a bit my own feelings of apathy and impatience with screen addicted social media drones. Barb has just posted a comment on your blog post, Everyone… Just Stop Saying Apocalypse!: (Which is here in case you missed it: http://estateartistry.com/blog/everyone-just-stop-saying-apocalypse ) John, You bother because there ARE people who may think like you do - but totally are missing the "writing gene" and do not have the talent and skill to create an enjoyable read about a decidedly un-enjoyable "event". You give a person "hope" - and some days, there isn't enough of that going around. Thank you for "bothering". :) To which I replied: You're welcome. There is maybe something else to hope for, but to see why you might want to look forward to it you have to understand what the actual plan for us all is. I think everyone in the "know" understands the function this conflict is supposed to serve in the larger scheme of things. That group of people is substantial, and growing rapidly. It is supposed to catalyze the largely controlled governments of key militarized countries in rest of the world taking sides in an intractable conflict and as a result going to war with each other. This would accomplish three main objectives in the lead up to a one world government under the direction of the Davos cult. First, it would further advance the depopulation agendas that started with multiple manufactured scamdemic crisis that has stalled due to multiple, now failing, forced vaccination programs. The objectives of these programs are currently being advanced covertly through the use of adulterated medical injectables, so in that respect we can consider it to have been quite successful. Second, it would satisfy those stakeholders that have always stuck to historically tried and true methods of nationalistic global restructuring that shuffles the deck of power players in their favor. War is a racket that has always been relied upon for the creation of generational wealth that funds eugenic psychopathy. Third, the resulting economic devastation, that this time will have a global impact, due to decades long reliance on service industries that rely upon just in time manufacturing and critical supply chains, will overshadow the deliberate transfer of wealth that that will be the result of popping the "everything bubble" created by the global derivatives market. The derivatives collapse will subsequently destroy the value and stability of all fiat currencies and therefore accelerate the financial reset needed to successfully introduce CBDC as the world's first centrally controlled reserve currency, which will effectively lock the doors of the prison planet they envision. The problem with all this is that does not appear to be the way things are unfolding. The world is taking sides, but it is the populations of those key countries, not the governments, that are turning their hairy eyeballs towards Israel and those supporting what can only be seen as an ethnic cleansing of the Gaza strip. Bibi Netanyahu is taking on an increasingly Hiter-ish glow, and those supporting him are increasingly looking like vampires in the sun. MASSIVE PROTEST IN CENTRAL LONDON TO CALL FOR A CEASEFIRE IN HAMAS https://www.bitchute.com/video/avC9MtduS9YA/?list=subscriptions What was supposed to be a centrally orchestrated global coup de-tat is turning into a populist mutiny. Which to my way of thinking is all the more reason to kick the nano-biotech "zombie apocalypse" sooner than planned. They are not quite ready for that yet. I lean more towards the idea that launching this phase of their operation into high gear a bit farther down the operational timeline is more in keeping with the rate of progress in other supporting areas. The pump is primed, certainly, but key components of the biosecurity super state have not yet been broadly implemented, among which is the much maligned Digital ID initiative, arguably one of the most important pillars of the totalitarian penopticon they have been so feverishly constructing. Next year, I think, will be a critical milestone in this plan. The crumbling economic state of the US will quickly accelerate, creating wave after wave of public rebellion, so they expect that to be a good justification for a more conventional form of direct confrontation with people and groups they define as "domestic terrorists". The WHO will most likely ratify that obnoxious pandemic preparedness treaty next summer, in full defiance of its detractors, and further raise the ire of freedom loving populations all over the world. This will foment the "rising level of unhappiness" Klaus Schwab has openly warned his stakeholders they should prepare themselves to address. Once the treaty is ratified, a hasty use of electronic bioweapons that cause all manner of biological plagues will quickly follow. Too quickly, I think, exposing the sources of the problem and the hidden hands pulling the levers. The digital ID must be in place before it can be used as planned, and I think there is a very high probability that all this turmoil will derail attempts to implement it on a broad enough scale. On the global stage, the US is rightfully being outed as the Machiavellian villain it has been, politically and militarily, since WWII and Brenton Woods, and American support of "Adolph Netanyahu" is a lightning rod for this increasingly global perception shift. I don't expect to see anyone overtly attacking American civilian populations the way Israel is targeting Gaza, (although an internal false flag operation may be an ace held reserve) but they may very well begin targeting Israel. Several nations have already threatened as much, and one has begun launching missiles at Tel Aviv. If the "chosen people" of Israel are chosen once again the way they were in WWII, "the powers that should not be" will have finally bitten off more than they can chew. I would caution others not to be so quick to defend the actions of Israel. Remember "The Jews" are simply a people, for the most part innocent and ignorant of what their rulers are up to, but their rulers are the ones calling the shots. They are the ones that are creating the conflict there, and presenting the rest of the world with a credible threat they are all being forced to react to. I would further remind others that those rulers are not "Jews" in the traditional sense, that defend exclusively Jewish values. They are Zionists, fake Jews, Jews in name only, hiding behind the perception of the Jewish people as a persecuted set, for the political cover doing that provides them with. They are part of a hive mind whose public face is the Davos cult and their key stakeholders. This is the enemy. This is the cancer that needs to be excised from the face of the Earth if the rest of us are to survive and prevail. REAL JEWS ARE AGAINST ZIONISM https://www.bitchute.com/video/X9lUahNTJDPD/?list=subscriptions ZIONIST SUPPORT OF HAMAS https://www.bitchute.com/video/1xZo8h3LtilE/ There is no clean way to resolve the existential problems we face today. They impact each and every one of us. But the uglier the solution, the faster we can collectively excise the malignant cancer that has been responsible for it all. I pity the people of Israel, but I loathe the Zionist infestation that rules over them more. -J
CROWD CHANTS "F#CK JOE BIDEN" DURING LIVE SPEECH AT THE WHITE HOUSE

Biden is living (sort of) proof that you cannot vote your way out of this mess we are in. THE DANGERS OF SYMPATHY https://theunityprocess.com/the-dangers-of-sympathy/ Some thoughts on sympathy, and how it can be manipulated with guilt, called “guilt manipulation”, to herd people towards desired outcomes. I found this article to be rather counter intuitive, and for that reason, quite instructive. I edited the authors words grammatically just a bit in the excerpts below, to clarify what I took to be his intended meaning, but the rest of the original article is a good read, and it further clarifies and defends the opinion below. With sympathy, sympathetic people aren’t uncomfortable from their own feelings, but from seeing/hearing the painful feelings of others, so they then take the feelings from supposed victims, because taking on a victim’s feelings is more comfortable than letting the victim stay in those uncomfortable feelings. This means it isn’t about the other person, their experience, or any lessons that they need to learn from going through the experience, but about the sympathetic person rescuing themselves from their own discomfort that comes from watching/hearing supposed victims in discomfort. Sympathy is a form of theft, as it steals the outcomes from a so-called victim, which is in effect stealing what should be the victim’s responsibility from them, to take the burden of that responsibility onto themselves.
“Socialism itself can hope to exist only for brief periods here and there, and then only through the exercise of the extremist terrorism. For this reason it is secretly preparing itself for rule through fear and is driving the word “justice” into the heads of the half-educated masses like a nail so as to rob them of their reason… and to create in them a good conscience for the evil game they are to play.”
~Friedrich Nietzsche “Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for all the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. ” ~C.S. Lewis WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT TO WAKE PEOPLE UP TO THE TRUTH? https://theunityprocess.com/why-is-it-so-difficult-to-wake-people-up-to-the-truth/ "If you’re not interested in eating a full serving of humble pie, this may not be the post for you to read—consider yourself warned." THE FDA'S TIES TO THE GATES FOUNDATION https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fdas-ties-gates-foundation "In 2017, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Under the MOU, the two entities agreed to share information to “facilitate the development of innovative products, including medical countermeasures,” such as diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutics to combat disease transmission during a pandemic. The FDA has MOUs with many academic and non-profit organizations, but few have as much to gain as Bill Gates, who has invested billions into pandemic countermeasures. Experts are concerned the Gates Foundation could have undue influence over the FDA’s regulatory decisions of these countermeasures."
Sorry, it does not take an "expert" to conclude that!

CDC ROLLS OUT 'WILD TO MILD' FLU SHOT CAMPAIGN TO REACH VACCINE-HESITANT https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cdc-rolls-out-wild-mild-flu-shot-campaign-reach-vaccine-hesitant "CDC Promotes 3 Respiratory Virus Vaccines for Fall With No Safety Data - The new Quadrivalent flu shot is just one of three vaccines coming down the CDC's pipeline this fall. The agency recommends bivalent COVID-19 vaccines—recently authorized by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) without clinical data—flu shots for individuals 6 months of age and older, and the new respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) vaccine. The CDC has not provided any data showing it is safe to co-administer these vaccines to any group, including those who are immunocompromised and pregnant women." Once again we see the CDC employing their spell casting techniques with twisted language. Those special groups they love to single out, like the elderly and the "immunocompromised", are simply groups they specifically target market to because they are halfway through deaths door already. "The number of Americans willing to roll up their sleeves to get a flu shot declined during the pandemic, as many who received the vaccine appeared to get sick anyway, and as concerns grew over potential side effects. In response to dwindling numbers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Monday launched a new digital ad campaign it hopes will encourage the vaccine-hesitant to get the shot, even if "breakthrough infections" occur." If you can read between the lines and you properly understand the context and reasoning behind these ad campaigns then, you can look at these attempts as I do. They are evidence of people waking up and getting wise finally, so they are actually positive developments. Tough times for the Crime and Death Corporation. You gotta love the desperation. The agency’s new messaging is simple: The flu shot won’t prevent a person from getting sick but can "tame" wild flu symptoms into mild flu symptoms in those who get vaccinated but still get sick." Which, on its face, is yet another example of a blatant use of logical fallacy being employed to manipulate people, and its a fallacy for this reason: One cannot, absent some impossible god like omniscience, make a claim about future events being this or that without knowing, with certainty, those same future events. So, to make a claim that you will be better off if you do xyz than if you didn't is based upon absolutely nothing. And this explains the reason why they have no data to support such statements: It is because every time you see this argument being used it is in defense of a thing that is new and untested. They of course know it will harm you, and probably kill you, but then that is the real intention they are trying their level best to conceal. In a weakly transparent way, Linda Wastila, professor and Parke-Davis chair of geriatric pharmacotherapy, with a doctorate in health policy is trotted out to impress you, and recite her scripted lines; i.e. paid endorsements and reassurances.
Nice try. Go fuck yourself, Linda.

MELVILLE FINALLY LOCATES HIS THINKING CAP Several contributors whose work I find valuable are aware of the substack ramblings published by a guy by the name of Shawn Paul Melville. We all love to hate Melville for providing useful research as an excuse for pushing terrible health advice that almost certainly enhances the effects of the scalar tech weaponry he promotes as an effective defense to the weapons of electronic warfare. Despite the transparency of his efforts, I continue to skim his material for potential clues. And also because I find his propensity to step on his own dick when chastising others publicly for their "scientific ignorance" to be enormously entertaining. That said, I thought this last article he posted deserved a pat on the back. Loose lips still sink ships. EQORIA CAUGHT HARVESTING MINDS… IN 2014! Shawn Paul Melville https://shawnpaulmelville.substack.com/p/eqoria-caught-harvesting-minds-in I left the comment below on his page in response to this article, which he posted on Nov 9th: This makes a lot of sense to me, Melville. The Davos cult has already successfully infiltrated governments around the world. Klaus "Col. Klinck" Schwab even openly boasts about that. The migrant situation causes a great deal of obvious systemic disruption that keeps everyone focused on population control systems, which is an attitude they encourage, but this deeper level, infiltrating the populations of captured countries with manipulable loyalists, is just the sort of subversive tactic I would expect to see. And the idea of feeding these defacto NWO nationalists for extended periods from menus that will no doubt be rife with "nano-nourishment" is a new level of sinister. It could be that what we are seeing is the early stages of the creation of a mind controlled zombie army that will provide further catalyst for the same stakeholders to justify their totalitarian bio-surveillance super state. Such an army would have a completely imperceptible conscription process with EQORIA consumers providing the perfect selective breeding farm for future "domestic terrorist" candidates. Good job on this. I am considering giving you some recognition on this theory in an upcoming post. (But I never promised him he would necessarily like it.) Time will of course tell how this eventually unfolds, but even if these plans are dragged out of the shadows and into the light of public awareness I see a number of serious morality dramas playing out as a result. Considering their potential for being used as semi-sentient weapons of war, the question of what to do with the victims of these non-consentual biological war crimes will most likely be among the more challenging questions the rest of us will eventually face. -J. Lukach In the interest of full disclosure, while I have investigated a number of Melville's citations, I know next to nothing about EQORIA. I would never order anything off a random kiosk, so looking into that any deeper seems to me to be a waste of time. But I did actually read through a lengthy prelude to this post, presented as some kind of confirmatory evidence proving EQORIA was the spawn of Satan. That posting included an endless series of telegram screenshots of him conversing with what appeared to me to be an AI-chatbot, which ended with the bot cussing him out and threatening him with the FBI. If Melville is nothing else his antics at least are entertaining. DIRE SITUATION IN ACAPULCO, MEXICO DUE TO CATEGORY 5 HURRICANE OTIS https://rumble.com/v3rw2jm-urgent-media-blackout-dire-situation-in-acapulco-mexico-due-to-category-5-h.html All things considered, since this happened Acapulco has "weathered" the storm well, however, this event is yet another example of militarized weather manipulation. It was not a hurricane, it was a wind event, more closely resembling a tornado, with very little rain. It was generated and hit EXACTLY on Acapulco, no warnings were generated at all, just like in Maui, and it went from a tropical storm to a Cat 5 in a matter of just five hours. This is how you can tell it was no where near natural. It is not "climate change", it is not an act of God. It is an artificial weather event. Hurricane Katrina, Paradise, California, Canadian wildfires, Maui, the list is long. If you don't believe we can make it cold, hot, dry, rainy, windy, etc... you are dead wrong. This is easy to accomplish now, and it has been possible to do since the 1940's and has been actively employed ever since. This is now being used to produce "evidence" for climate change agendas, so its all an carefully orchestrated SCAM! Deniers, just pull your heads out of your asses, because everyone knows this, and sees it clearly, except you. DEW's and DON'T's - Science FACTS https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-MVs37rxJL0 I decided to include this clip because it addresses a number of subjects, like the question of what caused of fires in Maui and other places. I chose not to cover Maui here because it is so time consuming but maintain in private discussions with others that if there was a directed energy weapon involved, and I do believe there was, that the energy was not beamed down from space or even from an aircraft. This is due to the actual physics involved, which is overlooked frequently when people are enamored by a scary concept. The reality is that this energy cannot travel through that much atmosphere and do much of anything because air diffuses that energy effectively. If DEW's are in use they are GROUND BASED systems and a sufficiently powered cell tower is really all you would need. We have those. Maui has those. The military maintains a base there that has such equipment. It was a military operation, not question about that. The guy in this clip also talks about small satellites, also known as "cubesat's"which are surprisingly small, basically a handheld device, and this is what makes up Elon's Musk's Starlink service network. 20,000 or so of these cubesat's are to be activated when its all said and done, and what these devices actually do and what they can do will become important later as we explore the whole nanobio electronic weaponry area some more.

I will close today's post with a favor for my friend Lonnee Rey, who actually got me started as a published author. Even though my first book was subsequently banned, while it was available during the first three months, it did become an international best seller, and briefly held the top spot in Amazon's social sciences category.
Lonnee had a lot to do with that, so if any of my readers have ambitions that include becoming an author themselves, I would encourage them to attend Lonnee's upcoming writers workshop. This next one is for contributions to Volume Four of "Rattled Awake". While I have not attended any of the previous "Rattled Awake" workshops myself, Lonnee tells me that, amongst participants, the experience of hearing others share personal accounts of their own "A-Ha" moments was no less than transformational. Personally, I can't really recall any specific moment when I "woke up", but then, unlike most, I have spent the better part of my life waking up to all kinds of weird things going on around me, and my perception of that activity has always ensured that my own behavior was always on the fringe of what is considered "acceptable". I can tolerate being judged far better than being of no consequence. But that is not exactly "normal". Most people, I think, could benefit from a little reassurance that they are not a member of some fringe minority, that they are not, and never have been… alone. Lonnee's promotional flyer and sign up link are below: 
Let's all take a break from our troubles today. This post is going to be, as the title suggests, something refreshing. With all the doom and gloom going around it's all too easy to feel face down in it. I remember so many things about life I sorely miss before being forced, kicking and screaming, into the sort of fear based, threat infested, zero-trust dystopian setting that, prior to today, was only imagined to serve as the prelude to some crappy summer movie plot. i.e. Hunger Games. I remember going to a pub and actually meeting people, and enjoying myself. I remember having lots of friends. I remember when an invitation to a pot-luck backyard shindig made people feel special. I remember when people actually accepted invitations. I remember looking forward to a night out at the theater, and going to concerts or other events. I remember being happy. I remember anticipation, excitement. I remember being a fan of some beloved cast. I remember what it was like when I was a kid. My parents divorced very early, so when I was a young boy, Sunday was visitation day for my father. The basic template for visitation day went something like this: I would get dropped off with my brother at church and attend Sunday school, where we would do arts and crafts and produce silly things like painted rocks and holiday greeting cards with macaroni, glitter and Elmer's glue. My father would pick my little brother and I up around 11am in some mid-life crisis sort of vehicle, and the rest of the day would be spent with him at my grandparents house, whose garage was filled with things to play with, and when we tired of dragging everything in and out we would settle in for dinner and an evening in front of the TV. This was in the early 70's, well before cable television was even available everywhere, so the Sunday night line up was pretty standard fare and we had maybe 6 main stations to choose from and a bunch of UHF channels. Everyone took turns picking a show. For grandpa this was Walter Cronkite reading the news at six. My grandmother followed that with The Laurence Welk Variety Show at seven. My brother and I got to vote next, so long as we agreed. Eight o'clock was the beginning of "parental discretion" programming so our channel choices became even smaller then, but everyone back then bought a weekly copy of something called "The TV Guide", and we would always consult that to see what any upcoming show was about. For anyone under 50 years old, televisions back then were pieces of furniture. Giant wooden consoles that were wired to a bare metal tree on the roof, and UHF channels were the double digit stations you had to tune into with a second knob on the console. That was the "Alt-Media" of the day. UHF was full of wonders. You had Bob Ross, Flash Gordon, Alfred Hitchcock, and Jack Benny. You also had Star Trek, which was the best.  Star Trek was sexy, edgy… "grown-up" sci-fi. It was also in color, a big plus. It was full of action, and it frequently had scantily clad women whose costumes, just barely, failed to trigger my grandmothers frequent "TV veto" power move.  Needless to say, I was completely hooked, and a new "trekkie" was born. I can still vividly remember every episode. Today, the Star Trek franchise is a total embarrassment, an insult to what it once represented. The importance of good story telling has been forgotten. Lazy writing has resulted in every story arc being a shallow repeat of the last and another excuse to further debase the original vision of a future in which humans had become something more dignified. It is no longer a vision of the future, but a lament of the present. Today's Star Trek magnifies our faults and excuses our weaknesses, and every character is some variation on a LGBTRHGVLDSHFJKE+10 theme. The cast is rife with weeping men and women, debauched villains, and mentally unstable officers mired in some galaxy wide grift. Strong male role models are completely absent, replaced with pussified, bi-curious or even full on queer counterparts, longing for a mission to Uranus. Like most television and movies now, it's unwatchable. Not everyone liked Star Trek, I get that, but a lot of people did. It not only gave us grand things to look forward to but actually created enough real confidence, industriousness and desire in people that many of the props used in the show, portrayed in the 60's for their futuristic, "whiz-bang" flair, have become real, even commonplace. My point is, there used to be entertainment one could find that provided a temporary escape from the troubles of today, shows that gave us something positive to look forward to, a reassurance if you like, that all things pass, and that there was a pleasant destination ahead we would eventually reach. I find myself missing that quality a lot of older shows had. There's nothing like a good story to temporarily transport you to another place, preferably someplace better, for a little while, where you can rest up and renew. Star Trek painted a picture of the future I wanted to live in and hoped I would one day live to see. As Star Trek declined, with it went that desire. But today I saw something that rekindles that flame. Believe it or not, there is a re-production of the original show, a fan fiction facsimile, that is so faithful to the original concept that it was actually very easy to forget that there was another actor playing Captain Kirk. It's called "Star Trek Continues". [link below]  I have seen a few fan fiction attempts at this, so believe me, I was as dubious about even being able to finish a single episode as most trekkies would be but the sets, the costumes, the acting, the soundtrack, even the sound effects were just flawless! There are several cameos by actors that appeared in the original show and even some of the cast are apparently children of old one. Scotty is played by Chris Doohan. This new cast even somehow managed to retain all the character development and ease in their roles that the original cast had attained by the time the show was cancelled after only three seasons. By the end of the first episode the little kid in me was back. I was just blown away. Nothing was enhanced in any way or brought up to modern standards. The show basically is, as it was, a Star Trek time capsule, with the premise being that these additional episodes would fulfill the original promise of a five year mission: To explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go, to all the places the current "Discoprise" will never see, because there are no men onboard who can identify a wrench or tell you what its for. I watched the first episode, which was a follow up to the second season original series episode "Who Mourns for Adonis", in which the crew of the Enterprise come face to face with the God Apollo, who has taken up residence on some lonely world they were checking out. As that story unfolds, we learn that Apollo is the last surviving member of the pantheon of Greek deities who both watched over and tortured mankind from the top of Mount Olympus in ancient times, who left Earth long ago, when humans had outgrown the need for parenting. Finding a complete synopsis of the original episode is easy enough, (https://www.tor.com/2015/11/03/star-trek-the-original-series-rewatch-who-mourns-for-adonais/) so I won't pen a lengthy recap here, but it was one of the better episodes that aired. Long story short; Apollo went from loving and benevolent to power drunk and mad, a fair allegory that could be applied to many of the current events of today. A battle ensued that ended with Apollo's defeat, after which he begged the forgiveness of the rest of the gods for his arrogant choice to remain behind when the rest of them chose to vanish into this place he explained the Gods must eventually retire to, when they can no longer find anyone to worship them. In this new episode, two years after the events of that day, the crew has a close call with a strange object in space that almost destroys them. As it turned out, they destroyed the object instead, but as a result are very surprised when in so doing, they accidentally run into Apollo again when he suddenly materializes onboard!
They learn from him that the place he begged to be let into back then turned out to be a terrible prison that consumed each of the other Gods one by one until once again, he was the last of them to remain. Unable to escape he survived only by allowing this prison to parasitically feed off him. Ironically, the same guy that forced him there, Jim Kirk, also freed him when the Enterprise destroyed the wandering prison object. This time around, because he was now mortal, very old, and dying, he begged for mercy, fearing his own inevitable passing. He asks the crew to take him to some inhabited planet and leave him there, "so that he could feel the sun upon his face once more, live out his remaining years in the company of other mortals, and not be forced to face death alone", leaving Captain Kirk to wrestle with the decision. Wow! What a wildly imaginative twist of fate, and to top it all off the SAME ACTOR that played Apollo back in 1967 returned to star in this episode! But it wasn't just the thrill of finding a hidden stash of new original Trek episodes to watch for the first time that made me want to drop everything else to sit down and write about an old TV show, and it had even less to do with being a fan of Star Trek. I was completely unprepared for the waves of emotion that washed over me when I saw this. Without leaking any spoilers, the message of this new episode was about the virtue of self sacrifice. There was no predictive programming, no mention of viruses, no pretexts that weaved in a reason for anything in the story that was the result of climate change, no fighting over resources of any kind. The story was about overcoming personal character flaws, sound moral reasoning and forgiveness. It was about once again portraying humanity in a dignified manner. Most of all, it renewed a sense of confidence in humanity I had all but lost chronicling the events of the last few years, in which every sacred cow we have ever had has been systematically and unceremoniously slaughtered. All it took was a hour long play to restore a vibrant and renewed sense of hope. If you loved the original series for what it was, and are disappointed with what it has become, you need to see this. There are nine new time capsule episodes in all. I have every reason to expect the rest of them will be as good as the first, and just as uplifting. If this review has wet your appetite for nostalgia, rather than binging out on a Re-Trek marathon, I suggest maybe spacing them out and taking them in at times when you feel kind of low. If you have always hated Star Trek, I suppose my advice will lost on you, but I don't think you really have to be a long time fan of the show to appreciate the contrast with daily life today. We all need something like this to jog our collective memory, to help us realize that we all still have a choice about what we become, and to remind us of all why those choices are so very important. That is my positive message for today. -John
I am sick of hearing the word "apocalypse".
(And no, I am not going to capitalize the word.) All you "professional panic-er's" haven't got enough to do. Clearly. We don't need more town criers. The market is saturated, there are no openings. Maybe apply for a real job, one you can handle, one you are well qualified for. Try flipping burgers at McDonalds. I hear they are paying over $20 bucks an hour now in California. Every other email, video clip, newspaper article, industry trade paper, every financial report is "all apocalypse, all day"… and all the same. Oh no, it’s the apocalypse. The apocalypse is coming. We're in the apocalypse. See? Look at Gaza, it has to be the virus, oops, sorry, I meant THE APOCALYPSE! The finance people are the only ones with anything legitimate to complain about. Have you all learned nothing whatsoever over the last three plus years of covid/climate change mania? Has it not become crystal clear that the entirety of mass media, all your social media, your parents, the people at work, even the majority of "NPC on the street" mouths are completely controlled by a handful of people running countries and companies that limit free speech with constant censorship, cancel culture, and pre-determined, AI vetted, targeted messaging? Have you still not learned that everything you think you know, and just about everything "everyone" is sure of, is 99.999% gas lighting propaganda supporting false narratives? Can you name any? C'mon, try hard. I can fire off a list, off the cuff, several pages long! Can we all just calm down and curb the "End Times Enthusiasm" a bit? Maybe take it down a notch, OR THREE? Take the misery going on right now in Gaza for example. Just because I tend not to indulge in religious or political discourse, I am not unaware of it. I won't proselytize or preach. I know better than to take a side or parrot other opinions. I want you all to just stop for a minute and look at a map. The Gaza strip is a piece of land that is a little over seven miles wide and twenty five miles long. That works out to just 140 square miles of coastline, adjacent to a tiny country that would be as unknown and foreign to most people as Djibouti were it not for the US flooding it year after year for decades with enough money, military and weapons to bury all 140 square miles of Gaza in paper, steel and gunpowder! Gaza is the same size as Detroit. It is smaller than Philadelphia, larger than Edinburgh, smaller than Dublin, half the size of New York City, and twice as large as Washington DC. It is one third as big as Los Angeles, one fourth as big as London, one fifth as big as Cape Town, one tenth the size of Yosemite National Park, three tenths the size of Phoenix, Az., and four times larger than Disney World. At 10,762 square miles, Israel the same size as Hawaii. It is a third larger than New Jersey and half the size of Lake Michigan. HAMAS is funded by Israel and run by Mossad, like ISIS was funded by the US and run by the CIA, and the rocket attacks you hear Israel whine about are mostly fireworks. The idea of Israel defending itself from Gaza terrorists is like me begging for sympathy after punching a kitten in the face. You tell me. Does that conflict qualify as a "World" War? Or does the rest of the world have to be persuaded a bit, somehow, to get involved? Israel is SEVENTY SEVEN TIMES larger than Gaza and it is drowning in guns and ammunition. They have bullets for breakfast, landmines for lunch, depleted uranium munitions for dinner. All this armament is the personal gun collection of a psychotic lunatic who just loves the smell of napalm in the morning, who also just happens to have a nuclear missile concealed carry permit from the US. What is so shocking about Israel and a guy like that using Gaza as a firing range? The backstop is the damn Atlantic Ocean! If this was a Las Vegas prize fight it would be like 5'9", 235 pound Mike Tyson defending his title against a 443 foot tall, 18,095 pound challenger.
For all you cheering "sports fans" at home in the United States, you are clearly upset by a lack of action. This conflict is a G-Rated, family-friendly war movie, not nearly as exciting as crushing Saddam Hussein for "using chemical weapons on his own people" or bombing Bashar Assad for "gassing his own people".
No, this is more like a hacked up retread of "Escape from New York" edited for time and content. Personally, I cannot be more appalled by the violence, more ashamed of my own country for enabling and condoning it, or more sympathetic to those who have become victims of it, but it is a flash in the pan and without your help and encouragement it would end about as fast as that fictitious Tyson fight would. And let me just preempt all you would-be commenters, before you wear out your fingertips penning editorial admonishments. Don't take my use of satire as a reason to try and suck me into this bullshit.
I REFUSE TO ALLOW MYSELF TO BE MANIPULATED BY THE SAME ASSHOLES
THAT CONTINUE TO BRAZENLY STERILIZE, DEPOPULATE, IMPOVERISH AND COVERTLY TORTURE EVERYONE ON THE ENTIRE PLANET!
The Israel/Gaza conflict is not WWIII.
The Globalist Bio-Surveillance, Totalitarian Takeover Is.
