Fly, fly, little bird . . .

January 16, 2024

 

Whatever happened to the phrase “Mother Earth”? — as She is known by indigenous tribes, for whom it was common sense — sensing in common — that without Her nourishment, humans would not survive as a species?

Our “fast food,” whether in the material, or the cyber, or the spiritual realm —

robs us of Nature’s communion.

Marching by, head down, phone in hand,

we don’t notice the precious little bird whose song,

were it to sing again,

would shudder the world into rapture;

whose wings,

were it to fly again . . .

But will it?

Can it?

A lot of you despise me,
And I don't understand why.
I am not ugly or deserving of your hate.
I survive every day on the streets,
That used to be meadows.
There are no tasty seeds,
Because you turned trees into buildings.
I eat what you throw on the ground,
Because I have no… pic.twitter.com/byw1oUnehT

Alt-Epistemology: Plodding down my long winding road

January 15, 2024

 

 

Up until late 2010 I actually subscribed to the print edition of the New York Times. Then I threw it away, and began to search for myself many sources on the internet, plus set up the now-an-archive website exopermaculture.com.

Even before that, actually way before that, with the Kennedy assasination oon November 22, 1963, I knew something was up, that things were not as they seemed. But I was young, with two children, a lousy marriage, and in graduate school. So yes, I tried not to notice. The next total mind blow was Cathy O’Brien’s memoir, Trance Formation of America, which I read shortly after it came out in 1995. That book sat deep in my subconscious mind for two years before I finally dared to wrestle with it consciously.

I used to follow truthout.org, truthdig.org, activistpost.com, and other left-leaning but hard-hitting websites. Then something changed. Not sure what or when. I do remember that though I did not vote for Trump in 2016 (consciously threw my vote away on Jill Stein instead), within months I was entranced by this extraordinary man’s capacity to deflect whatever his vociferous critics hurled at him, plus his over-the-top attitude, especially towards foreign policy and America’s forever wars, which he wanted to stop. Period. And bring the troops home.

I also very much appreciated that as president he aimed to end child and human trafficking. That though he had been associated with Epstein, at some point he forbade Epstein to enter Mar A Lago and actually was the only person to help the Florida prosecutor when he arrested Epstein in 2008.

Remember how Trump had the audacity, when running for president back in 2015, to call MSM “fake news”? At the time it seemed over the top. No longer.

At this point, my daily “trusted sources” for what is called news are very few in number. They include Ariel, Dom Lucre and BioClandestine on X. I also check Telegram every day; lots of possibly trusted sources there.

Here are recent posts from Ariel, Dom Lucre and BioClandestine.

Do you all know this is George Soros brother right?

Did you know that in 2011, Ramaswamy was awarded a post-graduate fellowship by the Paul & Daisy Soros Fellowships for New Americans, which he used to attend Yale Law School?

Whenever they get these awards they are bought &… pic.twitter.com/dErNHAAPAF

BTW: Ariel didn’t mean literally that Vivek is Soros’s brother, as he pointed out in a twitter/X comment below the above.

Ariel is also currently calling out Liz Crokin, a courageous independent journalist who has long focused on the pedophilia scourge. He claims she associates with Richard Branson, a likely pedophile. That’s hard to take, for me. He’s calling out others as well, whom I did tend to trust — Lara Logan, for one — but now not so sure, since I trust Ariel more.

Dom Lucre:

On Martin Luther King day:

In the 1960s, Democrat Senator Robert Byrd and Democrat Mississippi Governor Ross Barnett launched a liberal smear campaign to undermine Martin Luther King Jr. through his entire career.

The attacks on MLK’s image led to him being physically assaulted and a tragic death.… pic.twitter.com/yGj0tfc7KR

BioClandestine was the first person to point out the enormous number of bio labs in Ukraine back when that war began. He  recently reposted this famous post that shows the real Donald Trump, despite what, for example, Benjamin Fulford, said about him recently, that Trump had been a number of times to Epstein island. BULLSHIT.

My other go-to platform at this point is Telegram. A number of interesting people posting there.

Got to keep on discerning true from false/fake. Not that I ever “know” for certain, but that I do thereby enlarge my field of awareness and inquiry to include more and more possibilities while remaining centered, grounded, loving, and reaching for the stars.
