OH this was so juicy and satisfying. I love to take the time to hunker down with your articles, knowing I will be required to pay full attention, to not be interrupted, to really THINK along the way as I parse your paragraphs. Your wisdom is spot on and there were so many "YES! THIS!" moments on this page that I have to share it again and again. Thank you for tying up so many pieces into one crazy quilt.

We made our choice to not bend the knee a long time ago. Have made it to the other side of covid infection also. From a small business perspective, what has been done is no less than wholesale slaughter. The transfer of wealth upwards will be staggering in hindsight as will be the destruction of wealth downwards. The effects have not yet been seen but they will. It is a remaking of the world. It is purposeful, they don’t care or they are incompetent idiots. My bet is all three. We will not compromise our souls. EVER. Thanks for the insightful writing. It is really the most accurate I have seen and I read everything.

Never compromise our souls. Seeing what's going on in Australia and now the fuel shortages in Britain, we have to brace ourselves for the coming months. Always enjoy reading your comments, thank you.

"Climb the wall, run down the hill and into the forest. No matter the cost, do not let them steal the essence of who you are."

Beautifully said.

The boy or girl who climbs the wall and runs into the forest is not alone. There are others in the forest who have also climbed over the wall. They welcome the newcomer.

Thank you for these words. I live alone and know deep in my core this is happening yet my family and some friends are completely oblivious. I’m lucky to have a few and we are able to talk but even those that see it don’t want to stand up they assume it will “work itself out”. I sometimes think I should be quieter go about my own business but as you said I might plant one seed. Whether through an act of kindness or knowledge.

My husband and I feel the same. We have a unique small group of friends scattered throughout the country and few outside the country. We were talking on the phone last with one of those friends last night about future plans. It could come that multiple families will have to cohabitate in order to survive as we resist.

Karen, thank you your words as ever are inspirational. I do not know where this will go, but I am grateful that first of all I know that God will never leave nor forsake me and also that I am not alone in a world that is increasingly lonely!

you are not alone in your thoughts. This is the time we must rely on God. What mostly brings me to sadness are the people that are confused and dis spirited and afraid

That was spectacular. Thank you. I will be running to the forest.

Thank you. Very informative and inspiring. We all have to do a little each day to spread the word and show people the light in these dark times.

Nice to read this in 2023, now there is less passion flying about. Perhaps easier to share. I wonder how you’d write it today, change anything, if even subtlety. I wonder how it’d be perceived by those who were coerced to take the vaxx, how it’d be perceived back then in the midst of fear and now with perhaps some distance from it. I wonder how many of us recognise, if we declined the coercion, that our choices may also have been out of fear. How different are we from the billionaire controlling the world but cowering before death.

I declined the coercion, not out of fear. Giving in to coercion is the less frightening path. When I received this temple from God, I became responsible for what enters. No man can rightfully supersede this responsibility. How dare they!
