What’s Putin’s squad looking like these days? Well, we’ve got Belarus, where Lukashenko’s been holding it down for three decades. Then there’s Iran, with Khamenei still going strong after 35 years. Syria’s rocking the Assad dynasty for over half a century. Cuba’s been under the Castro spell for a whopping 65 years. And who could forget North Korea, where the Kims have been running the show for 76 years! These guys, along with Putin’s 25-year reign, make up a gang of dictators that’s been bossing people around for over 2.5 centuries. Talk about commitment to tyranny! Geopolitics at its finest. As they say, ‘Show me your buddies, and I’ll show you your true colors!’ ”
That dude in the middle? Oh, that’s Maduro from Venezuela. He’s the newbie of the crew, only taking charge in 2013. He’s practically the club’s diaper-wearer!

Lighting struck the torch on the Statue of Liberty. The torch is a symbol of enlightenment. The Statue of Liberty’s torch lights the way to freedom showing us the path to Liberty. Even the Statue’s official name represents her most important symbol “Liberty Enlightening the World”.

On the surface of the world right now there is 
war and violence and things seem dark.
But calmly and quietly, at the same time, 
something else is happening underground
An inner revolution is taking place 
and certain individuals are being called to a higher light.
It is a silent revolution.
From the inside out. From the ground up.
This is a Global operation.
A Spiritual Conspiracy.

A return to sanity? Sanity will not be restored for us by others. We are the ones that must restore it. We cannot wait for others to be brave on our behalf. We are here in this initiatory moment to choose who we are. The choice of whether to capitulate or to act is a declaration: Who am I to be? What is the world to be? Am I serious enough about my vision for the world to risk my security for it? That is not a challenge meant to goad me into action. It is simply true. Through my choice, I will know myself as I am. I will become as I choose. The rehearsal is over.

Many people trust the authorities and willingly comply with their rules. They face no dilemma, no initiatory moment, no self-defining world-creating choice point, not yet.
But as the authorities’ narratives devolve into absurdity and their rules devolve into oppression, more and more of us face this choice:
To live your truth out loud, or To live by a lie, consoling yourself with secret protest.
To do what you know is right, or
To cave into the pressure, consoling yourself with words you don’t believe. “I had no choice.”
Yes, for many of us it has come to such a choice. The rehearsal is over.

From January 28 to February 4, 2023, a large, white high-altitude balloon of Chinese origin crossed North American airspace, passing over Alaska, western Canada, and the contiguous United States.
It was shot down the next day by the U.S. Air Force over territorial waters off the coast of South Carolina. 

The Taliban announced yesterday that women will be banned from all universities in Afghanistan effective immediately and until further notice.
The decision was announced after a government meeting and comes months after universities introduced gender-segregated classrooms and placed restrictions on the subjects that women could study. In a letter, the country’s spokesman for the Ministry of Higher Education, Ziaullah Hashmi, told private and public universities to implement the ban as soon as possible.

I am not even surprised that in this upside-down world another backward decision (as if we didn’t have enough insanity) was made on June 24, 2022, by the US Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, marking a major change in abortion rights in the United States of America. Let’s be honest – the decision to overturn the judgment made by the US Supreme Court 50 years ago in Roe v. Wade case was “sneaked in” to the US Supreme Court’s agenda when nobody expected it, except a certain group of people interested in this decision at the time when everyone’s attention was somewhere else. It is obvious that this decision was not made or influenced by women who have ever had issues with bearing a child, pregnancy, rape, etc. 

I am not a doctor and I am not a scientist, and (thank God) I am not a politician who has to make life-changing decisions on behalf of thousands or millions of people, but I wanted to share with you some facts to consider before rushing to be vaccinated. Ultimately, any healing happens only with the permission and cooperation of your divine temple – your physical body:
Fact 1: “There is no FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved vaccine to prevent Covid-19 in the U.S.” (this quote is from FDA official website https://www.fda.gov/ )

Fact 2: FDA has authorized the emergency use of the Covid-19 vaccines at your own risk.

Fact 3: No long-term clinical studies were conducted to prove the safety of the vaccines now or years later.

Fact 4: Under PREPA Act (The Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act, passed by the United States Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in December 2005) companies like Phizer and Moderna have total immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines.

You can see a lot of rats like this all over the New York City…. No, it has nothing to do with infestation …. This is a new way of protesting ( and cheaper) against the employers that hire their workers for less.

“I did my best, it wasn’t much. I couldn’t tell so I learned to touch. I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you. And even though it all went wrong, I’ll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah.” Leonard Cohen.
November 10, 2016. Canadian poet, singer, songwriter, and novelist Leonard Cohen has died at the age of 82. His work explored all sides of human existence – religion, spirituality, politics, isolation, personal relationships, and sexuality. He was called Master of joy and gloom.

Randomly selected New Yorkers comment on the US Presidential candidates: D.M (Independent): ” Donald Trump is entertaining. I think he is bright. Certain racial things that he said were bad…., however, certain things sometimes have to be said.
V. (Democrat): “I would not vote. I live in a Democratic state …. my vote wouldn’t matter. A Democratic candidate will win in the New York state no matter what…. I am a Democrat, and I will always support the Democratic party. Republic Party is broken right now… My views are mostly liberal. I am for Hillary. I think she has a good chance to win. I like her. She supports the middle class…. of course, she supports corporations …. they all do……. but she is a woman. She has the heart of a mother”.
