I haven't written anything about the Epstein files but I'm going to start.  Some are shocking to say the least.  Not really surprising but still..... 

​

One of the more shocking email exchanges from the Epstein files is this one from spiritual leader Deepak Chopra. He says that "God is a construct" but "cute girls are real." He asks if Epstein had found him "a cute Israeli."

It’s hard to imagine a more complete collapse of the public persona Chopra spent decades cultivating. This was a man who preached transcendence, detachment from desire, and moral clarity. The real question isn’t just how Chopra recovers from this. Who cares if he does or not? The question is how so many people trusted him to guide their inner lives for so long and how they missed that he was into such unsavory behavior.

 

Epstein wrote that Gates sought antibiotics to sneak his wife to prevent her from knowing that he'd given her a sexually transmitted disease. 

 

I was never into Chopra or people like him.  Nothing about them resonated with me ever.  And Gates, well, he's been a joke to me for a long time.  I was also never respectful of higher authority with the exception of my parents.  And God.  And now I know why.  They are all satanic.

Feb 5th - I was waiting for the Redacted video on the interview with David icke from yesterday but they didn't post the shortened version.  So here's the full show but fast forward to 20:40 - that's where the actual interview basically starts.  This is a good one  EPSTEIN'S SATANIC CULT IS JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG, IT'S MUCH WORSE w David Icke | Redacted - YouTube

This is a dark one.  If you know of Peter Nygard - he's a Canadian who is currently serving time in prison for s*x assault but there's so much more to him and his connections.  Peter Nygard was a fashion designer - I had some Nygard clothes but they have been recycled over the past few years ...

World Without End - Videos & Stories

TriDav Partners is a Politically Homeless experience

Welcome to this part of TriDav's site.  Interesting, intriguing, controversial, debatable, contentious videos and stories.  Leave a message and let's discuss!   Check back often for more added.

NOTE:  Out of all my body parts, my eyeballs are in the best shape because I roll them like 342 times a day! 

First, allow me to introduce a couple of bands that I find interesting.  Let me know your thoughts!  

​

1.  Future Islands

From Baltimore via N. Carolina, formed in 2006, these guys caught my eye recently because I was looking for a song to go along with the Skylon Tower and their song was 'The Tower' - how perfect.  And I gotta say, I was hooked on their hook right away.  This also caught my eye, when he said  “Life’s hard when you’re young but it evens out over time. Let’s get through this together, alright?” It wasn't until 2014 and 3 albums later, they got a shot on Letterman and said this "I knew exactly what I was doing,” says Future Islands frontman Samuel T Herring, reflecting on the performance that changed his life. “Lots of people said: ‘This guy dances like nobody’s watching.’ But no. I was dancing like I knew everyone was watching.”  His dancing is different, unique and once in a while, he growls.  Interesting.  In 2024, they came out with a new album, "People Who Aren't There Anymore" and performed The Tower live on the Late Show.  Check out how they did ----------------- >>>

Another video caught my eye from their performance 10 years ago on Austin City Limits (always check to see if your band has played on Austin City Limits - a wonderful venue and uploads).  This is a song called Lighthouse.  Check it out too -------------------------------------------------- >>>

2.  Half Moon Run

This amazing Canadian band formed in Montreal in 2009 caught my attention with their song Everyone's Heading Out East in 2023.  Here's a comment I got when I posted it:  "I like this band a lot! Love the singers voice, and the chill music that never quite oversteps the vocals. I really enjoyed that new song, especially the view out the front window as he drove. That older car brought back memories too!! I could almost smell it lol. There's a very distinct smell I recall when I think of a car that was made 30 years ago+. It's like sunshine on lather, worn plastic, dust, warm velvet seats and hand cranked windows. Love it."  I totally agreed.  And then I discovered a hidden gem, 9Beat and their performance on The Treehouse - mesmerizing, amazing.  These guys are solid.  So so so many great songs especially on their 2023 album, Salt.  I chose two songs, 9Beat Live from the Treehouse.  Check it out and tell me you don't start moving right away ------------------------>>>

For the 2nd song, that was hard!  So many....I chose Alco from the same album Salt but I may add a few more :)  Check this one out ----------->>>

​

3.  Yungblud - Update Nov 17th Yungblud has cancelled the rest of this year's tour due to health reasons.  He's 28 yrs old. 
I used to be a fan, now I'm an air conditioner for this next artist.  Born and named Dominic Richard Harrison in 1997 in UK, he was diagnosed with ADHD and kicked out of school for encouraging a friend to moon the teacher.  Shocking!  lol  Harrison stated that he was an opinionated child and felt that his energetic nature was often misunderstood.

Harrison enrolled at the Arts Educational Schools, London, but quit in 2015 due to what he called its "painting by numbers" approach to creativity.  He's been in the music biz since 2017 but I didn't find him til I saw the Halsey collaboration of one of my favourite DCFC songs "I Will Follow You Into The Dark'.  Brilliant.  

First video is Yungblud's interpretation of one of my favourite songs from the 70's Jim Croce, 'Time In A Bottle'. Check it out --------------->>>

Second video is the Like A Version (another great venue & upload) with Halsey.                                                       Check it out -------------->>>

In 1966, Columbia University professors Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven developed an eight-point strategy to collapse a free nation from within intentionally. Their idea was to overwhelm the system through massive economic and social destabilization so that citizens would beg for authoritarian control in exchange for survival. This strategy has now been adapted and weaponized by global financial elites and is being applied to Canada right now. 

If you have never heard of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, it does not matter. It is already being implemented for you. You are not imagining the chaos. It is designed to demoralize you, to confuse you, and to make you submit. 

Mark Carney is the chosen executor. Below are the eight points of the Cloward-Piven Strategy, along with concrete actions Carney has taken to implement each one. 

1. Overload and bankrupt the welfare system 

In 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, Carney publicly supported massive government stimulus spending, including the Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB), which gave more than eight million Canadians free money with no strings attached. This program cost over 81 billion Canadian dollars. Carney, in a July 2020 speech to the London School of Economics, called these types of stimulus packages "essential tools for transition" and praised the role of public finance in "accelerating the shift to stakeholder capitalism." 

The Canadian COVID-19 lockdowns were not about public health. They were all about creating permanent dependency. The more individuals rely on government support, the more control the government has. Canada’s debt has now reached more than 1.5 trillion dollars. The system is being driven toward bankruptcy by design. 

2. Raise the cost of living until survival becomes the only focus 

In February 2021, Carney co-authored a report for the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, where he pushed for removing capital from carbon-based industries and redirecting it into climate-compliant investments. The direct outcome of this has been a reduction in oil and gas supply, spiking prices across the board. 

In July 2022, Carney’s climate agenda began affecting Canadian energy producers when major banks stopped issuing loans to oil and gas firms unless they complied with net-zero targets. With fuel prices soaring, Canadians now face historic inflation. Food banks across the country report record demand. In Canada, the cost of groceries has increased from March 2020 to March 2025, approximately 30.2 percent in total. 

Carney knows these policies crush the middle class. That is the point. When individuals struggle to feed their families or fill their gas tanks, they stop resisting. 

3. Defund and destabilize law enforcement 

On June 8, 2020, just days after the death of George Floyd in the United States, Carney wrote an op-ed in the Globe and Mail endorsing social movements that called for defunding police. In that article, he promoted the idea that institutions need to be reformed to serve “social justice” rather than law and order. His exact words were that the economy must become more “inclusive” and must reflect new social priorities. 

In Canada, this narrative led to police budget reductions in major cities, including Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver. The result has been a significant rise in violent crime, carjackings, and open drug use. As cities become less safe, public demand increases for technological surveillance, biometric security, and government monitoring. Carney has supported the digital ID infrastructure that will replace traditional policing with algorithmic control. 

4. Control education to indoctrinate the next generation 

In October 2020, Carney became head of the Brookfield ESG advisory group, which has since partnered with the United Nations to fund youth education programs across North America. These programs are designed to train children and university students to accept climate compliance, equity mandates, and global governance as normal. 

In March 2023, the University of Toronto received millions in funding tied to a Brookfield-backed ESG curriculum. These classes redefine economic freedom as dangerous and promote submission to centralized digital control. The youth of Canada are no longer being educated. They are being conditioned. 

5. Eliminate private property through regulation, taxation, and debt traps 

Carney supports net-zero home compliance. In April 2023, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation proposed mandatory energy audits for homes before sale. This policy was developed in part by the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures, which Carney chairs. 

These audits will be used to justify carbon taxes on homeowners, making it impossible for many families to sell or afford upgrades. At the same time, interest rate hikes driven by central banks have doubled mortgage payments since early 2022. Carney supports these hikes as necessary to curb inflation. The result is mass foreclosure. This is not mismanagement. This is extraction. 

6. Promote division through identity politics 

Carney has repeatedly made public statements aligning with social justice narratives. In May 2021, he gave a speech at the Public Policy Forum where he called for economic systems that serve “racial justice,” “climate justice,” and “gender equity.” These are not neutral goals. They are designed to divide individuals and pit them against one another based on race, gender, and ideology. 

While Canadians fight over perceived slights and identity labels, the real theft is happening quietly. Carney’s controllers benefit from chaos. The more fractured society becomes, the easier it is to dominate. 

7. Undermine faith and family to replace them with state loyalty 

In 2019, Carney spoke at the Vatican in support of the Council for Inclusive Capitalism, a group designed to unite global corporations, financial institutions, and the Catholic Church under a single moral-economic framework. The message was clear. Loyalty must shift from traditional institutions to a centralized system where moral authority is dictated by economic compliance. 

At the same time, Canadian government programs now incentivize children to bypass parental consent on gender decisions, vaccines, and personal health records. Carney supports these policies. They remove the parent and insert the state. 

8. Create permanent dependence on the state through programmable money 

Carney is one of the most vocal international advocates for Central Bank Digital Currencies. In a December 2019 speech at the Bank for International Settlements, Carney said that the future of money will be programmable and trackable and must support sustainable development. 

In October 2023, the Bank of Canada began pilot testing a Central Bank Digital Currency. Carney is advising that effort. Once implemented, this programmable currency will allow the government to freeze accounts, limit purchases, and control every financial transaction.  
 

Why I Watch The Real Housewives  aka part of the downfall of the world ...

​​

When we moved to Westmeath in 2005, we decided to give up t.v.   We were bored with it and the commercials were overwhelming and uninteresting.  However, we really liked watching Survivor and I knew I'd miss it.  We had a visitor who pointed out that some shows were available online now.  Well, that was great!  We could still watch Survivor and Dave could still maybe get 'the fights' live.  And it worked.  It was sporadic at first - sites were hard to find and we couldn't always get the shows.  But over the years, more and more of these 'illegal' sites would pop up and we'd get our shows.  No commercials!  And we could watch whenever we wanted without having to record anything.  

​​

In 2006ish, we watched a reality show called 'Mob Wives'.  It was mildly interesting to Dave but I really liked it.  It offered a glimpse of a world we would never live.  It showed large families and their struggles.  I thought reality was real but quickly realized it was more like scripted reality but it was enjoyable just the same.  Then I found The Real Housewives of Orange County.  Dave said naaah not into it so I would tune in when I was working or when he went out for breakfast with Devon.  I was hooked right away.  It was about families in California.  Rich families who had 'everything' money could buy but yet, they still had the same issues, some of the same struggles we did.  As I had suspected, money didn't solve those problems.  Maybe having money actually enhanced them. 

​

So I kept watching.  Then other cities or states would appear  in the franchise - New Jersey, New York, Beverly Hills, Atlanta, Miami, Dallas,  Potomac, Salt Lake City and more.  20 years later, I watch them all, sometimes on the same computer we had back in 2006, lol.  Back at the beginning of Atlanta, I didn't like it so didn't watch it til last year then I power watched 16 seasons and really enjoyed it.  I followed the California ones all the way through.  Loved Miami, Potomac , Dallas and especially Salt Lake City.  I even tried to watch the ones recently developed in other countries - Toronto, Vancouver (both lasted only 1 season - maybe the Canadians are not so great at reality drama lol, too nice?), Dubai, UK, South Africa but the accents were sometimes hard to follow so I gravitated back to the US ones.  I did find South Africa interesting though because I've never been there and wondered what life was like for richer types - they lived in gated communities and only went out in groups with security at night.  Sharp contrasts between those gated communities and the rest of the city where there is an obvious large gap between rich and poor.  I thought Dubai was totally fake - it only lasted two seasons and never showed anything outside of the richies - but is that real?  After a time, it was pretty easy to spot the fake from the real in all the franchises.  

​​

I found out throughout the years that reality blended in with 'take 2'.  Something would surface during a dinner or a trip and the producers would get them to redo the scene but with more of well, everything.  Louder and more drama.  The cast were not actual actors (except in Beverly Hills) so they weren't as polished so the reality scripted part was still pretty good, seemed real enough anyway at times.    

​​

Salt Lake City is only in it's 6th season and this is one I do find very interesting.  First because one of the originals is now in prison due to fraud and money laundering from a telemarketing business she developed.  Total greed with this one.  She was convicted of taking advantage of older people on the phone.  We did telemarketing and never went down that path - did she really think she wouldn't get caught especially being on t.v. throwing around a ton of money.  People in telemarketing businesses make good money but not great money.  For us, it was a good way to make money from home and didn't go further than that.  For this convict, it was all about the c$sh and greed - I could see her in the first 2 seasons going down that path more and more and clink!  she's still in prison.  They had a scene where the FBI showed up to arrest her but she had received a phone call prior and left.  They of course found her, arrested her and set her trial.  She still showed up for another season while going thru the trial which of course created a lot of drama with the others, some who continued to support her, others who saw right through her deceit.

​​

But what I liked more was those in Salt Lake City who were Mormons or rather, ex-Mormons.  One was a 'Mormon 2.0' who ran a liquor company.  They drank (not always out in the open but in private houses or secret bars), they divorced, they had affairs and they had the realization of what Mormonism had done to them and to their families.  One in particular, left the Mormons and many in her family followed suit.  There was a scene where her brother visited and they cried about how they felt they were raising their families in a cult, until they 'escaped'.  Not all in the show are Mormons which gives them (and us) an insight into how much control is or was forced on them.  Their levels of heaven are bizarre.  For those that leave Mormonism, they are considered below serial killers in heaven, literally.  Wait - serial killers make it to heaven?  Something really wrong there lol.  Also the fact that the founder, Joseph Smith married many young girls, as young as 13-14 yrs old.  Uggh.  Any female knows that's just not right for many reasons.  But the Mormons were not shown that, not taught that - for some, that's a reason to leave and for others, they find out after they leave, which is a huge process and no, they don't get their tithes back - hundreds of thousands of $$$ gone to those at the top....No wonder the parents cry when they realize how duped they were and how they passed that down to their children.  

​

There is one on the SLC franchise named Mary - she's Pentecostal and runs a church.  She inherited the church from her grandmother who also let it be known that when she died, she wanted Mary to marry her 2nd husband and run the church.  So she was first known as a (step) grandfather f'er by some of the others.  She persevered through it but she is bizarre in her thinking and the things she says.  She speaks her mind and not always kindly.  They show her church services which are beyond bizarre - you know, the dancing, talking in tongues, crying for salvation - another world I'm not part of and never will be but fascinating to watch from afar.  

​​

In that franchise/city and all the others, I watched solid couples fall apart and divorce.  In New Jersey, another couple falls (prior to SLC) and goes to prison.  In NYC, at least three of them had mug shots from being arrested, mostly drunk driving.  Dallas was another favourite of mine - watching those ladies and their families with their ups and downs.  At the beginning, it was all about family.  Over the years, it turned a little to more drama (and more scripted parts I believe) but in between there were still glimpses of family life and struggles.  

​​

Sometimes just to have something running in the background, I'll rewatch them right from the start.  Especially if I know one is coming up to a new season.  Crazy right?  But I'm hooked.  I know the ladies and their families.  Several of them had babies when I first started watching and are now grandparents.  No doubt it's been a struggle for some just being televised, especially when something embarrassing happens.  Like a child who says something 'off' and it's not edited.  Whoops well, that's reality.   Beverly Hills had Charlie Sheen's ex on for a few seasons - Denise Richards.  She was weird and showed up ... I'm gonna say stoned half the time.  If the table talk wasn't going her way, she would suddenly shout Bravo, Bravo, Bravo cause someone had told her they would then edit that part out hahahah but they didn't and she looked ridiculous.  She was very unlikeable.  Several on that franchise were unlikeable and that's no surprise.  Many don't survive beyond a few seasons for good reason in their own personal and professional lifes.  Special note to Jennifer Tilly and Kathy Hilton who have appeared on as  'friends' so not regulars - both are hilarious and actually real in their very strange ways. 

​

So the Real Housewives franchises gave me fun entertainment mixed in with intense drama to watch.  It gave me families to watch.  It made me feel much more secure in my own relationships and well, it passes the time :)   Oh, and I like seeing the different fashions over the years - not into a lot of them.  And Bravo pushes 'equality' big time - not into that either.  

​

Part 2

I just watched a documentary called The Cult of The Real Housewife.  Fascinating and just as I thought watching SLC and Mary Cosby.  She is probably the weirdest one of any of the housewives and I wondered why they allowed her to come back.  She was called out for her church in Season 2 and didn't attend the Reunion and was gone Season 3.  But then she came back and is again a regular.  

​

So what this documentary filled in was behind the scenes at the cult which is her church.  Family members and ex church members were interviewed and gave their insights.  Such a strange story.  Mary's Grandmother had lived in Indiana and had a 'calling' so took her family and they walked and rode a bus to Salt Lake City.  There she held church services first in her house and then in a church.  There was no money to speak of at that time.  Pentecostals are bizarre and they have totally disfunction.  They can lead regular lifes and make lots of money being business owners, doctors, leaders etc but then they go to church.  The preacher, who was Mary's grandmother at the time, would yell from the pulpit and get them all excited so they would start dancing and jumping around and yelling themselves.  Bizarre.  So Mary's grandmother marries a man Robert and Robert  is a true cult leader.  He saw how people were and acted and started demanding money from them to attend the church.  People became totally brainwashed and would give all their money to him and to 'Mama', Mary's grandmother.  She died in the 90's and Robert convinced Mary that she was the one to replace 'Mama' up there on the pulpit.  He groomed her.  She was young but she had attitude and he just knew she would fit the mold.  The church was split at that time because many didn't think it right that Robert and Mary married.  He was 20 years her senior and had been considered her grandfather.  For some in the cult, that was too much so they left.  many stayed and more came.    Those that stayed and came became even further brainwashed.  They thought nothing of being asked for money and then more money.  One guy mortgaged his house and gave them $300,000.  Others would use their credit cards and give thousands.  Insane.  And this just kept going.  They would attend the services and be further brainwashed.  They would be told Mary was God.  Robert faded into the background as he groomed Mary to be the real cult leader.  

​

Then she joins The Real Housewives of SLC.  Why?  More money, more fame.  Did she see herself as a cult leader?  Did Robert?  In the first Reunion, Robert was there and he was angry.  When asked if he wanted Mary to join, he said no and they have a little argument about that.  Mary seems surprised at what he was saying. He just looked super worried.  After that, he never appeared again on the show.  But that season saw inside their home where they had servants serving them.  Literal servants who today say they were never paid, they just did their bidding.  They cleaned and served them.  Some of the other housewives would go on camera and talk about Mary and the church describing it as cultlike but then they would appear to be supportive of her when they would gather.  Robert and Mary had a son, Robert Jr.  Today Robert Jr is in his 20's and is totally dysfunctional.  On the show, we would see him high as a kite, living in his bedroom in their bizarre house with his girlfriend, sleeping all day.  Mary pretended not to notice something was wrong.  Then she made a big deal out of admitting her son was a drug addict and needed help - garnishing all kinds of sympathy from everyone.  She helped him - sent him to rehab and was rewarded with being told how great she was, how hard it must be for her.  He was arrested this past year on some kind of theft drug charge.  The kid is a mess and no surprise there.  

​

​

Scenes inside Mary's home were beyond bizarre (for lack of a better word).  It was full of very expensive designer goods and clothes and purses and just all kinds of stuff.  She went on to say she was going to rent an apartment just for her clothes because there was no room in the 15,000 sq ft house anymore.  By this time, Robert and Mary owned 3 other houses in Florida, New York and Las Vegas.  The wealth was disgusting to contemplate and to look at.  And she would be on the show like nothing was off, nothing was wrong.  That's what made it the most bizarre and questionable.  I wondered why she was allowed to be on the show and this is when most of this show and the others turned into clown world for me.  They went from showing wealthy families into obvious idiotic drama and fake story lines - pure entertainment is how I saw it.  Nothing was Real about it.  Most weren't even wives, much less housewives.  I seriously doubt Mary will be back now that this documentary is out and has exposed her, Robert and basically Bravo for allowing it all to happen.  Given how many of these housewives have gone to prison, it likely spells the end of it all.  For me, the most recent ones with the fake dramas highlight just how bad of actors they really are.  I kept it up because we were still given small glimpses of their homelife's and one or two from each franchise were still 'real'.  I know I go back to watch the older ones for that reason and watch as they turn into ridiculous dramas that make no sense and aren't even fun to watch.  

​

Bravo has been exposed and long ago, Andy Cohen was exposed.  Way way back in 2006 or 07, when I first started watching them, we were watching youtube videos - conspiracy theories at the time.  One guy in particular was super interesting.  He went by the name Dallasgoldbug and he exposed crisis actors.  These people would be given large sums of money to present themselves as someone totally different to the world.  So their real life's were hidden.  Andy Cohen was one of them.  He had photos of him with his wife and kids and then suddenly Andy is presented as a gay man in charge at Bravo of the 'Real' Housewives.  Interesting.  Today, Andy shows photos of his children he adopted as a single gay man.  My belief is that they are a couple of his grandkids.  Since we only see glimpses or photos, how do we really know what's going on in their 'real' lives?  We don't and they get paid big money for that.  Who pays them?  The elites who are changing our world in order to design it how they want it.  Making things like gay, trans etc all 'legal' and accepted as their agendas move forward.  I also believe many of the housewives are not born female...

​

So today, as I watch the 'Real' lol Housewives and see Andy trying to be his persona he took on, I see the deception and don't buy into any of it.  I see it for what it is.  I pity those that don't see it and still believe in the glimpses we are given of others....

​

Part 3

I recently watched another series called Something Palm Beach (totally can't recall).  It was super super disturbing.  I struggled to continue watching and did, not for entertainment, not to see the families but to do a little more research into how disgusting people can be for money.  Literally.  They have sold their souls over and over again.  It's not pretty.  It's not glamorous.  It's simply disgusting and disturbing.  This was a short lived series and obviously won't be going on.  It highlighted everything it wanted to.  Everything the producers, directors and players wanted it to highlight.  It showed how fake the woman(?) are with their plastic surgery so they all have that alien ugly look.  So ugly.  So fake.  And it touches their souls.  Do they ever have private moments when they think 'what have I done?'.  I sincerely doubt it.  The more wealth they have, the more encouraged they are to forget they even have a soul, so it's easy.   Life is easy for them.  Feel a bit down?  Go buy something - not a nice new top, no, go buy a Lamborgini or a something watch.  Spend, spend spend.  Think nothing of spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a 3 hour party. Think nothing of dressing like a ho for that party, flaunting the plastic surgery disasters that they think make them, I don't know, look good?  They all look like aliens.  Hey maybe they are.  These are the same people who are in Hollywood today.  They have had so much in their lives and they want more.  What's more?  Well, just watch as the Hollywood elite start going down.  We watched videos long ago that exposed them all - how they sell their soul and that allows them to think they can literally get away with anything.  Nothing is off limits.  Including children.  And that's what is being exposed today.  It's a reason to not expose children, regular children, to anything Hollywoodish including D*sney, maybe especially D*sney.  It's been happening for decades.  It's not a recent revelation by any means.  But it gets more and more ramped up as the years go.  They get more empowered by the day.  Because they know they've got more and more hooked on it and not willing to see it with real eyes cause, you know, it's fun for the kids.  And for many, it's just too late in the game.  Game over you could say as AI enters the picture and real humans take a back seat.  Once the folks at the 'top' have so much wealth that life on this plain becomes boring, they are in search for something stimulating.  Much more stimulating that taking a walk in the woods surrounded by nature.  Keep your children close.  I believe it's true, if they don't know what they're missing, they won't be roped into that world but rather they will be stimulated by that walk in the woods, by nature, by realness .... 

​

One last word.  I do pick a side on this one.  And I don't think it's hard to know which one I do pick and have picked always.  Balanced is the way for me.  

​

One more last word.  When D was sick and home from the hospital, he was given a very strong pain pill.  He would wake up in the middle of the night screaming and we would talk for hours til he could go back to sleep.  He would tell me of his nightmares.  And it was a recuring one of a huge scary 'beast' that chased him as he was trying to find heaven, trying to find God.  The beast kept telling him to go his way and that he would never find God.  The screams would stop the beast and he would not want to go back to sleep just to be chased by the beast again.  Without talking to the doctors, we decided to stop the pills and instead I ordered thc gummies.  Before bed, he would take one under his tongue and fall asleep.  From that first night, the beast disappeared and never returned.  Instead, he did find God.  He found heaven and he described it to me the next day and the days that followed.  We both slept all night and had wonderful beautiful conversations about heaven and how calm and beautiful it really was.  Those pain pills tried to steal his soul.  The gummies brought his soul right back to us.  I would sit and watch him fall asleep once he was on the gummies and his face reflected what his soul was experiencing.  And I'm so glad to know his soul remained where it should.  We talked about the many ways our soul can be sold and the many ways to retain it safe and sound.  Peacefully, gracefully and calmly.

 what if I told you
that the country with the largest oil
reserves in the world, larger than even
Saudi Arabia, didn't simply collapse due
to poor political leadership? What if I
told you that this weekend's US military
invasion, Operation Absolute Resolve,
the last decade of hyperinflation, empty
shelves, and millions of people fleeing
the country? Well, that was just the
beginning of a much longer game. a game
in which the superpowers are currently
fighting to claim possession of
Venezuela's black gold. And what if I
told you that maybe oil isn't the most
valuable thing under that particular
stretch of earth? Here's what the media
won't tell you about Venezuela.
Total oil reserves around the world. The
biggest of all is Venezuela.
Good night. Happy new year.
First, let me give you a little
historical context. Venezuela roughly
translates to little Venice. And this
little Venice very recently used to be
one of the richest countries in Latin
America thanks to having more oil
underground than anywhere else in the
world. The shift to oil in the 1920s
brought rapid growth to the country. But
it's important to note that the value of
the Venezuelan dollar is totally
dependent on the oil industry. So oil
prices dropped when the Middle East
started exporting in the 1950s because
there was too much supply compared to
demand which had an impact on the
economies of all oil producing
countries. In the 1960s, all these
countries got together to discuss and
plan, figure out a way to resolve this,
which led to the formation what of what
is now known as OPEC. And its original
purpose was to control the oil supply in
order to control the oil price. And even
though oil prices continued to fall
throughout the 1970s, war changed all of
that. The 1973 Arab-Israeli war led to
Arab oil trading companies to cut off
trade with the United States and other
nations who supported Israel, which was
good for Venezuela because their oil
prices shot up. But the problem was that
OPEC members didn't keep their original
promise. They they didn't continue to
regulate their supply of oil and thus
the market was flooded with supply but
not enough demand. Meaning that there
were some broke folks in Venezuela when
socialist Hugo Chavez came to power.
Chavez had some economic success by
nationalizing Venezuela's oil industry.
And new oil demand came from India and
China, but he funded his ambitious
educational and social programs with oil
money, which turned out to be a risky
play. Overspending meant he borrowed
heavily. But hey, this his whole stick
was that he was a Catholic and he
thought that Jesus was a socialist
revolutionary. Venezuela's foreign
policy became more antagonistic toward
the United States and Israel under Hugo
Chavez. And then under Nicholas Maduro,
even though side note, Maduro claims his
grandparents were Jewish.

After vocally opposing Israel's actions
in Gaza, Venezuela formally established
relations with the Palestinian Authority
and ended all diplomatic connections
with Israel. Chavez intensified his
rhetoric in 2010, labeling Israel a
terrorist and murderous state and
accusing it of sponsoring the opposition
in Venezuela like a reinabor style
fashion. He also claimed that MSAD
agents were attempting to kill him. With
these claims, ties with the United
States deteriorated. In 2011, sanctions
were placed on Venezuela's state oil
company for supporting Iran's energy
sector. Then in 2012, private gun
ownership was outlawed due to an
increase in crime. Chavez passed away
from cancer in 2013. Then Maduro, who
came up through Chavez's campaign after
assuming power, forced US citizens to
obtain visas while banning folks like
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney and even
Marco Rubio, calling them terrorists.
Maduro's personal political touch was
rooted in chismo or 21st century
socialism, which aimed to be populist,
state-led, and anti-imperialist.
Venezuela's dramatic shift toward
anti-western alliances and growing
isolation from the rest of the world
occurred during this time. And in my
previous Venezuela video, I go into a
little more detail about how Obama
targeted Venezuela. Obama and Biden were
like the boiling frog treatment of
Venezuela foreign policy. But we got to
keep it moving here. We got to get up to
the present because I'm just setting the
scene. I'm not reading you the Dead Sea
Scrolls here. So, in the last 10 to 15
years, Venezuela has transformed from
one of the richest countries in Latin
America to circling the drain. Chavez's
plan to harness his country's enormous
oil wealth for social benefit and it
basically ended in an economic disaster.
Most of Venezuela's exports were from
oil and when that cash disappeared, the
government was unable to pay its debts.
Then Maduro dealt with bare supermarket
shelves, regular blackouts, hospitals
without critical medications, and
hyperinflation that skyrocketed to
nearly 1 million% in 2018. basically
wear Venezuela. It's been reported that
80 to 90% of Venezuelans lived in
poverty having to fight just to survive
on a daily basis. And it's also
important to note that Venezuela owes a
bunch of money to China that accumulated
during this time. So they could
basically never recover because they
owed so much money to China and world
oil prices were declining. Venezuela's
capacity to sell oil and important
necessities was further restricted by US
sanctions, which started off mildly in
2011 due to the country's ties with Iran
and became considerably stricter after
2017. In response to human rights
concerns and disrupted elections,
Washington accused Maduro's regime of
corruption and election fraud, while
Maduro continuously blamed the United
States for an economic war. This all
resulted in the biggest migration crisis
in Latin America's history with more
than a fifth of the population departing
the country. It was all leading up to
this past weekend when everything
reached a dramatic turning point. When
American forces intervened and abruptly
kidnapped Maduro and his wife under
2026's first super moon, the Wolf Moon,
overwhelming American military power,
air, land, and sea was used to launch a
spectacular assault.
And it was a an assault like people have
not seen since
World War II. We're going to run the
country until such time as we can do a
safe, proper, and judicious
transition. So, so we are going to run
the country until such time as we can do
a safe, proper, and judicious
transition.
Now that I've got you up to speed, this
is where we use our discernment from
what we're told by the media and what we
can ascertain from basic observation. No
third party thinking from the AI, just
whatever is between your two ears in
that noggin of yours. There were zero US
casualties in this operation, Trump
said. Which probably means the fix was
in with the Venezuelan military. They go
in dead of night, turn off the lights,
bomb key targets, and swoop in and grab
Maduro and his tracksuit. And Trump told
us this was about corruption. This was
about dismantling an evil dictator. This
was about ending deadly drug
trafficking. You know, Venezuela has
massive reserves of those deadly drugs,
the biggest reserves of deadly drugs in
the world. If bombing Venezuela was
really about stopping Americans from
dying of drugs, then pharmaceutical
companies and I guess Fouchi on the home
front would have been taken into custody
long ago. But the drug thing is such a
good way to spin it because certainly it
holds a fragment of truth. And we all
know someone whose life has been
destroyed by drugs. Pulls on the
heartstrings, doesn't it? Now give your
consent. Say it. They want you to say
it. Really, the targeting of Venezuela
has nothing to do with their strategic
positioning in relation to shipping and
export, the wide swath of accessibility
to the ocean, the proximity to the
Panama Canal. It has nothing to do with
their oil reserves, the largest in the
world. It certainly has nothing to do
with how Venezuela has Latin America's
largest reserves of gold. We have the
economic backbone already in place with
the oil and the untapped market over
here with the outdated infrastructure
and sanctions going with the gold, iron,
ore, nickel, and rare earth minerals.
And by securing these lawless areas
first, you would be in a prime position
to threaten China's global chokeold on
supplies that are essential for, I don't
know, military technology, batteries,
semiconductors. With US boots on the
ground, this cuts off China's backdoor
access. The more of these resources and
territories the US can gobble up, the
more dominance and AI and green
technology it has, giving the US an edge
over other countries. I know this is a
goal because they're carving out all of
Georgia and Appalachia for these stupid
data centers. And besides, they already
told us one of their goals a long time
ago, and it was the North American
Technate proposed in the 1930s. And
would you look at that, Venezuela is
right there in the red, theoretically
serving as the energy supply hub,
limiting future reliance on external
trade. We spoke extensively about the
North American Technate when Trump
wanted Greenland and Canada last year.
And if we refer back to the map, you can
see that those pieces are obviously
still on the chessboard. But anyway,
let's zoom out for the bigger picture.
The current aftermath of Operation
Absolute Resolve is the following. The
Dems are mad. They're saying this is a
war crime. Republicans are cheering
while Europe has given its acceptance.
Brazil, Russia, Colombia, Mexico, and
Cuba rejected the US military action.
Meanwhile, just hours after Venezuela's
operation, the US sent warning to
governments of Mexico, Cuba, and
Colombia that their countries could be
next. And on social media, we're told
Venezuelans are in the streets
rejoicing, screaming freedom because
Maduro was an ineffective leader and he
wouldn't step down from power and he
kept rigging the elections. Some folks
might say that Maduro's days were
numbered because he sought out strong
ties with US enemies, at least their
enemies on the global stage. China
became a major buyer of Venezuelan oil
and also a money lender. Russia has been
giving military assistance and training
and to fortify his anti-imperialist
stance. Maduro was a major advocate for
bricks. The group of major emerging
economies, Brazil, Russia, India, China,
and South Africa, plus a bunch of other
countries. They're all working to get
off the petro dollar. Basically, a
separate trading conglomerate from the
West. Speaking of China cutting it off
the west, China restricted its silver
exports at the beginning of the year,
which is why the price of silver, well,
it's part of why the price of silver is
going up. China gates off the silver.
And I have to wonder if the US is
countering with oil, limiting China's
access to one of their main oil
suppliers. I also have to wonder now
that Trump has secured the largest oil
reserves in the world if he did so to
partially serve Israeli interests.
because now Trump isn't risking the
disruption of oil flowing from the
Middle East if a war with Iran arises in
the future. And that's what the media
won't tell you about Venezuela. I hope I
got everyone caught up to speed. My goal
was to make a complicated matter a
simple one so that we could see what's
actually going on instead of what we're
told is going on. Sorry about my voice
in this video. I'm getting over that
mystery virus of 2026. But some people
have said that Venezuela is a wag the
dog distraction for what's going on with
the Epstein coverup. And I think that's
so optimistic of y'all that y'all still
harbor any optimism. Personally, I don't
think they care. To me, the Epstein
files serve as a demoralization campaign
without any justice. And what are people
going to do about it when they're making
three easy payments for their corporate
slot bowl on CLA? Do most Americans even
care what's happening outside of their
own country? I have to wonder. We have
the greatest country in the world, a
country that can mobilize its military
in total darkness to go kidnap the
leader of a foreign nation. But the
problematic invaders harassing you at
your local Walmart get to stay. The
Somali daycare centers, well, they get a
thumbs up.

I talk a lot about the 'elites' and their agendas.  I believe we are seeing it in real time now.  Up at their level, it's basically NATO nations against BRICS nations.  And it's a fight for control of everything, not just oil.  

​

BRICS nations include Brazil, Russia, India, China, Saudi Arabia, Iran, South Africa .  There are nations, such as Venezuela trying to join in.  

​

Currently the world 's currency is backed by the US dollar.  BRICS want to change that.  They no longer want to pay for oil from other countries in US dollars.  And that's a threat to the US, to Israel and other nato nations.  

​

By 2030, it's speculated that the world will be divided up differently.  North America, for example, will be one.  Trump calls Canada the 51st state but it may just be blended into one big nation of the US, Mexico and Canada combined.  Along with Greenland in order to protect the arctic.  

​

The real fight isn't about oil.  It's about AI in all it's forms.  Whichever side establishes the AI foundation the best, wins.  Have you see the robots playing sports in China?  Have you heard of the big data centers going in the US?  Have you heard of the Great Replacement?  And the Great Reset?

​

All the Greats are designed not for us lowly humans at the bottom of the pyramid.  Some of us will survive of course as we have a function.  Just what that function will be is debatable.  We can clearly see our 'freedoms' being taken from us as we accept them little by little.  Time is speeding up, we're told.  Is actual time speeding up?  No.  The forces that we're being put under are making that happen.  So we feel like it's speeding up.  

​

It's too late to reject the technology.  It's here and it's going to speed things up even more so in the next few years.  It won't generate that dystopian world we're shown in movies and tv shows because we won't even really realize what's going on.  Like a deer in headlights, that's what we are and will be even more so.  

​

So, the rich get richer while the middle class disappears and the poor become the slaves again.  BRICS and NATO keep fighting for the top position but to us, it matters little.  Either way, we have to figure out how to live in the AI world.  How to accept what's being presented to us.  

​

Some will question how far can technology go.  We are about to find out.  Keep it as simple as you can would be my way.  I'm not really expecting to be around here when this all becomes 'normal'.  Parents will be told the way it is by their children who are being brought up in the AI world.  Each generation more so until fruition.  

​

We will be trumped.  Trump is a key figure in this transition.  He's got the right name and he's got a ton of wealth.  He's positioned to disrupt the world.  Remember he's against NATO.  Isn't that curious?  But is he really?  He is key in the realignment of the world.  NATO membership is just a facade.  BRICS membership is too.  It's what's in their hearts that matter most.  Total control is what they seek and the world will be divided and that's ok with them as long as they control AI.  

​

I was born under the right sign because I don't like picking one side over the other.  I prefer the balance - looking at both sides without having to choose.  I was told as a child to 'never explain and never apologize'.  If I don't pick a side in an argument, then I never have to do either so that works out for me.  I'm instead an observer.  I can see how disruptive being trumped is.  I can see how our immediate surroundings are changing.  Still I'm not picking a side.  I intend to go peacefully, knowing how manipulated we have been and will be even more so in the immediate future.  I call it floating.  Some call is skating :)  For me, skating is too fast which is why I prefer floating.  Floating gently, observing, knowing....

We are entering a time when being a gray man is going to be crucial. You might ask, What is a gray man? The gray man philosophy is the opposite of what American culture prizes — the braggadocio, manicured lawns, flashy cars, vacations, and the urge to stand out. Instead, gray man philosophy teaches you not to be noticed, to blend in, and to avoid looking like a target of opportunity.

​

In a world growing more desperate, you don’t want to appear vulnerable or valuable. You want to be well-equipped — physically capable, enduring, trained in self-defense — but not appear that way. You don’t want to look like a threat, either. This philosophy applies to your lifestyle, your dwelling, your vehicle, and your behavior.

 

Your home should be fortified, stocked, and ready for instability or disaster, but also not advertise that fact. You should have the ability to bug out when circumstances become too dangerous. Therefore, a sufficient bug-out vehicle is essential — powerful and equipped enough to navigate precarious situations, yet not so obvious that it becomes a target.

 

The gray man is also someone who stays well-informed on political, social, and natural developments. He maintains his physical fitness and trains in multiple platforms (martial arts, firearms, mobility). He works toward self-sufficiency in food, medicine, and shelter. He values knowledge, animal husbandry, and community building.

 

The gray man philosophy is often defined as the art of staying unnoticed while maintaining preparedness.

 

The objective is to avoid becoming a target for opportunists, looters, or aggressors, especially when crises arise.

 

Key tactics include dressing in muted, ordinary clothes, avoiding visible tactical gear, minimizing flashy accessories, and behaving in a way that does not attract attention.

 

I would say based on current events, it's definitely time to learn gray man philosophy!

Negotiation

In 2006, we started working with a company out of Baltimore called Shapiro Negotiations.  The founder wrote many books that I was fortunate to have received and read.  The two that stand out to me are:

​

The Power of Nice:  How to Negotiate So Everyone Wins - Especially You!

​

Bullies, Tyrants and Impossible People - How to Beat Them Without Joining Them.

​

I learned so much reading the books and working for the marketing department for 8 years.  It was a Win-Win relationship!

In 1947, a housewife posed for a photograph with a week’s worth of groceries, offering a fascinating glimpse into post-war American life. The haul was meant to feed her, her husband, their two children, and even the family cat. Remarkably, the total cost came to just $12.50, which would be roughly equivalent to $180 today. This simple snapshot reveals much more than just the items on a shopping list—it reflects the economy, lifestyle, and priorities of the era.

Grocery shopping in the late 1940s was a carefully planned task. Families often relied on staple foods such as bread, milk, eggs, fresh vegetables, and canned goods to stretch their budgets across the week. Meals were designed to be nutritious, filling, and cost-effective, and home cooking was central to daily life. Unlike today’s convenience-focused culture, housewives meticulously balanced quantity and quality to ensure every dollar counted.

This image also highlights the stark contrast in food costs over the decades. While $12.50 seems almost unimaginable for a week of groceries today, it was considered a reasonable expenditure at the time. Adjusted for inflation, it shows how prices, consumption habits, and family dynamics have evolved.

Beyond economics, the photograph serves as a cultural snapshot, illustrating the roles and responsibilities of women in mid-20th century America. Housewives managed the household budget, shopped for the family, and prepared meals with precision and care, all while navigating a society transitioning from wartime austerity to post-war prosperity.

This picture is more than just a historical curiosity, it’s a window into everyday life, family priorities, and the resourcefulness required to make ends meet in 1947.

Do You Know What The T in T-Shirt Stands For?

During the First World War, American soldiers wore lightweight, comfortable shirts during their training sessions. These were originally referred to as 'Training Shirts', which, over time, is believed to have been shortened to ‘T-shirts’

Do You Know What The Q in Q-tip Stands For?

Quality!  And the “tips” describes the cotton swab at the end of the rod/stick. Q-tip is a product name for the worlds most popular cotton swab.

Do You Know what The P and Q in “Mind your Ps and Qs” Stands For?

​

One theory is The letters “P” and “Q” were used to represent pints and quarts, respectively. So, if a customer was getting rowdy, the publican might shout at them to “mind their Ps and Qs,” meaning to be careful not to drink too much and get into trouble.

​

Another theory is that the phrase comes from the practice of typesetting in printing. In the days before computers, typesetters had to manually set each letter in a piece of type. The letters “P” and “Q” are very similar in appearance, and it was easy for typesetters to accidentally mix them up. So, a typesetter might be told to “mind their Ps and Qs” to make sure they were setting the letters correctly.

​

​

Do you know where A-Ok originated?

​

NASA engineers.  They regularly used it during radio transmission tests. Given the high amount of static during radio transmissions, engineers found that “A” produced a sharper and clearer sound than “O.” So while “OK” could have easily gotten lost amid the loud static, saying “A-OK” ensured additional clarity.

Fallacies

FALLACIES - arguments that are logically unsound for lack of well-grounded premises  Fallacies can greatly undermine the strength of your arguments, even if they sound convincing at first. When you engage in conversations and debates, it’s important to recognize these deceptive reasoning tactics in order to strengthen your own arguments and identify the weaknesses in others’.

​​

​

Ad Hominem Fallacy

An ad hominem fallacy occurs when someone attacks another person’s character, motives, background or other personal attributes, rather than focusing on the argument at hand. It’s a distraction tactic meant to discredit the opposition and pull the attention away from the actual issue being debated.

​

Example

Suppose you’re discussing the merits of a new healthcare policy with your colleague, and they respond by saying, “You don’t have a medical degree, so your opinion on healthcare means nothing.” This is an ad hominem attack, as the focus shifts from the policy itself to your qualifications, ignoring any valid points you may have about the policy.

​

​
​
 
Strawman Fallacy

A strawman fallacy occurs when someone distorts or exaggerates an opponent’s argument and then attacks this distorted version, as if that is the real claim the opponent is making. This tactic is used to make the opponent’s argument seem weaker or easier to refute. In doing so, the arguer doesn’t engage with the relevant components of the opponent’s position.

​

Example 

Your friend argues that the government should invest more in education. You counter by saying your friend wants to spend all the taxpayers’ money on schools, leaving nothing for healthcare or infrastructure. This distortion of your friend’s argument makes it seem extreme, and by attacking this extreme position, you’re committing a strawman fallacy.

​

​​

​​

​

​

False Dichotomy

A false dichotomy, also known as a false dilemma or either/or fallacy, occurs when an argument presents only two options as if they are the only possible choices when, in reality, more options exist. This type of fallacy limits the available choices to create the illusion that one option is clearly better than the other, steering readers or listeners toward a particular decision. To spot a false dichotomy, you should be aware of situations where additional options have been intentionally ignored or dismissed.

 

Example 

“You must choose between a healthy breakfast and a delicious, indulgent one.”

In this example, the false dichotomy suggests that you can only have a healthy breakfast or a tasty one. However, there are numerous options available for satisfying and nutritious meals, proving that it’s not an either/or situation.

​

​​​

​​

​

​​

​

​

Slippery Slope Fallacy

The slippery slope fallacy occurs when one claims that a seemingly harmless event or action will inevitably lead to a more extreme or negative outcome, without providing sufficient evidence for this chain of events. Recognizing this fallacy helps to avoid faulty reasoning and to strengthen arguments.

​​

Example 

In a political debate, someone might say that if a particular candidate is elected, they will raise taxes, resulting in the collapse of the economy and the nation descending into chaos. This argument fails to provide evidence for this chain of events and relies on exaggerating the potential negative consequences.

​​

​

​​​

​

​

​

Appeal to Authority


The appeal to authority fallacy occurs when you rely too heavily on the opinion of a single person, especially if that person is trying to validate something outside of their expertise. A claim is considered true simply because an authority figure made it. This authority figure could be anyone from an instructor to a politician, a well-known academic, or even an experienced person related to the claim’s subject.

​

It’s essential to keep in mind that just because someone holds authority in one area does not necessarily mean they have expertise in another area. When using an appeal to authority, be critical and make sure that the source of authority is relevant.

​

Example 

A pharmaceutical sales representative asserts that a new drug is safe and effective, referring to the company’s CEO’s statement. The CEO might be a successful business person but does not necessarily have the expertise to evaluate the drug’s safety and efficacy. It is crucial to obtain information from medical experts or scientists who have conducted research on the drug to evaluate its effects.
