Wow, Karen! Another article that hits the nail right on the head! It is such a relief to read something I can totally agree with and your articles are that salvation for me! I so often feel like I've fallen down the rabbit hole and it's beyond refreshing to read something that, even when it points out things of tremendous concern, at least makes total sense and agrees with what I see going on around me. (To hear another voice, echoing the fact that "The emperor has no clothes on!" at least makes one not feel totally isolated. I have developed immense empathy for Noah, LOL.) These Progressive Left-Wing Globalists that are in power right now are really frightening people who seem determined to institute their destructive policies regardless of the costs in human suffering, deprivation, trauma - even lives. I think they are determined to create such chaos and confusion in society that we will be willing to accept ANY kind of tyranny, just to make the chaos stop and return to some kind of "normalcy" again. That worries me.

Yes, I'm afraid you are right. Anything that will protect people from the terrors outside their door. We just have to be courageous.

This all reminds me of Covid 2020. It's the same playbook but a different threat. The anger, the threat, the violence against mankind. The US is now blatantly bullying the West as well as her own citizens. We're in for a very frightening time.

Yep, never let a good crisis go to waste. If it worked the first time, why not do it again.

Thank you Karen. I found you through an article about Lena. A very personal and other side of the story. In the Devils playground. I have much to say about her brothers who I have raised since 1994. Yes, quite a long time ago. I will never forget a post of Lena's before she passed saying she is sorry that she will never experience just being a housewife with dishes to do. I loved doing dishes until it became very difficult for me. But now every time I do I think of Lena the sister to my boy's that I never met, and cry and sometimes talk to her and let her know she is missed and in my heart.

A beautiful child gone to soon.

We were all banished. Lena didn't even know that she had 3 other brothers until she ran into them at their Grandma's house shortly before Bryan's 1st. TBI in 2007. The last time we even spoke to Wanda was on the phone when Bryan again was on life support after a brutal attack with already injured brain his head head was kicked in on every side. Second TBI almost 7 years to the day. It is 11/ 20/22. Wanda has never returned the call to see if Bryan lived or died.

Since his 1st TBI in 2007 his dad and I have had the entire burden of 24/7 care short of a brief stay at their aunts house. ( him and his second youngest brother) after the first TBI. We cannot afford outside help to get back on our feet. We don't have any help watching Bryan. He is severely mentally disabled and by Doctors orders and our own knowledge, Bryan cannot leave the home unattended. Bryan can't even bathe alone. Everything is provided for by his dad except some help that I can do. Like shopping. But dad needs help. We all need help. Our home could be gone that we've held onto since 2017 , and we don't even have money for a turkey or milk noting. Because dad can't work and provide 24/7 care for Bryan at the same time. It's rediculis to think that we might all be homeless over not being able to leave the home without Bryan in order to work. I can't take of Bryan fully for much time at all. I am bedridden most of the day. All I can be is eyes, and ears for the most part and shopper once or twice a week. And that is disappearing as I write. Bryan's Dad is the most giving man short of Jesus that I know. Wanda not so much. Doesn't even call to wish him well or happy birthday. Nothing.

We are drowning providing for all of Bryan's needs. And Wanda will not respond to any messages ment for her. We have no idea where she is or how to reach her. But I recently got a clue to another party that may be able or willing to help. I believe Wanda had had a windfall once or twice in the years since her son was injured as she had mentioned renting a3bedroom apartment for her deseased brothers young children. Plus a few jer rides and exclusive property addresses. I just find it so ironic that she would provide for them and not even inquire whether Bryan is still alive.and I so wish that the time Lena begged her mom to go snowboarding with her basically new brothers and their dad , that Wanda had let her go. And I could have met her.

No life isn't always roses. And now one of my daughters living in the dirt. With a damaged mind. Last time I chased her down she said I wasn't her mother. But then shortly later wanted to say hi and sit with Bryan and Allen. She remembers them. and then recalls me I guess. But is far more into them. Her boyfriend of several just texted me the other day and said he left her. I haven't heard anything else but he said she had friends.

My beliefs are very much in line with yours.. I guess I got rambling here.so much is heavy on my heart for the mentally ill. And why Wanda doesn't help her son. I don't know what to do aside from prayers for the mentally ill and entrapped and to survive and keep our ridiculously afforable home.If we can't keep it, their no replacement any where in our below poverty income at this time.
