Pay attention. To your own life: to your long-term plans and how they are transmogrifying; to what shadowy stuff is being unearthed for review and rebirth. Significant markers may be noticed today.
Pay attention. To our nation’s life, seemingly on life-support now: to how our nation has been brought to a standstill, by all the planets retrograde, by vacancy in House Speaker position, by exposure of corruption at every level in government, business, academia, medicine, etc., by increasing inflation, by a seriously overrun border by millions, creating likely terrorist cells; and now this: newly revived polarity between backers of Israel, backers of Palestine, drumming up “anti-semitism” — yet one more division used to divide and conquer.
Pay attention. To our world’s global heating (and I’m not talking about climate change, but about humanity’s collective emotional temperature, which appears to be going nuclear): for what REALLY happened, and WHY, when heavily fortified Israel suddenly got hammered by Hamas. Many theories. Here are two to pursue: Scott Ritter, Ray McGovern. And this one:

Unfortunately, most people still want to know who to blame for this latest, and ongoing, atrocity. As if one is right and the other wrong. Me: I can’t help but think of how, every time one people displaces another in any territory, there is always permanent resentment, which boils over again and again. In this case, as Ray McGovern puts it, 700,000 ancestral Palestinians displaced by newly forming Israel into “the world’s largest concentration camp,” now over 2 million of their descendants.
Is there any nation not composed of those who have displaced others — this time called “human animals” — and often with extreme subterfuge and/or violence?
The U.S. is a case in point. And those who were here before the Europeans, again, thought of as “human animals,” made to sign fake treaties, and either murdered, starved or herded by the newly dominant ones onto “reservations.”
Oh yeah, and notice how fast our attention was diverted by this latest prolonged fear-mongering atrocity?

If you do not yet know about Victor Davis Hanson, he may be the wisest, most articulate and geopolitical scholar and elder on the planet. I’ve been aware of him, eagerly reading whatever I find from him, since 2019. Here’s some archived posts from exopermaculture.
Hanson weighs in on X (twitter).

His latest:
Here’s how it concludes:
“A hard rain is soon going to fall abroad.
“And the United States better get its house in order, whether defined as standing with its few dependable allies left, securing its own oil and gas supplies, protecting its borders, un-woking and rebooting its suspect military, recalibrating its all too often incompetent and politicized intelligence bureaus—and thus preparing for a world turned upside down.”
Because yes, after its first 248 year run, death/rebirth Pluto turns, right on the degree it occupied when this nation was born, tomorrow.
”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
