Crossing the Great Divide, the State of our Nation and Assembling our Tribe

For many people the year 2020 looms large as a demarcation line that separates what once was, with what is to be a new era in human existence. No doubt that year deserves such acknowledgment. Yet in my estimation this year, 2021, bears more significance. It has been in 2021 that the pieces of my life and future have fallen into place. For in this year the state of our nation has prompted me to assemble my tribe. In order to do so I would cross the great divide and travel from west to east on the North American continent, and back again. My There and Back Again Journey would not involve dragons and plunder, orcs and elves, as hobbit Bilbo Baggins adventures had done. It would take me through the heart of America to realize the desires of my own heart. My deep concern for the state of this country was tempered by the hope that accompanies abiding love.

The State of the Nation

For many decades now dark forces have controlled the nation I call home. I’ve heard it called the Deep State, shadow government or permanent state. Whatever label you seek to attach, it’s not the system of power and control designed by American founders. Elite control has fluctuated in strength since the founding. At times it was more than obvious, such as during the Gilded Age of Mark Twain’s time, where railroad, oil and steel tycoons called the shots and utilized the U.S. military and hired guns to consolidate control over American Labor. Other times, their power seemed to wane, like during the New Deal Era. But it has always been there, lurking in the background, waiting for more opportunities to consolidate wealth, power and control. Control acquisition is always where totalitarianism becomes most obvious. Overstepping the bounds of controlling free peoples is where elites lose their grip. But they cannot seem to resist pushing their boundaries again and again. With wealth, comes power. Once you have those two, I guess all that is left to desire, is control. Since that cold November day in 1963, control over the masses has increased ten fold. There was Operation Chaos to control activists at home, many covert operations to control countries abroad and Operation Mockingbird to control the media. In his first cabinet meeting with Ronald Reagan in 1981, former CIA Director William Casey stated:

“We will know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”

Gone are the days when Americans could sit comfortably and watch nightly news that was mostly accurate. Over the decades the state of our media has worsened, especially since consolidation was allowed to occur under the Clinton Administration, with the passage of the Telecommunications Act of 1996. In an Orwellian twist it was promoted as a means of ensuring competition. What it allowed in practice was consolidation and control. We now see more and more evidence that our news is scripted. Corporate pundits are given millions of reasons to lie to us as they find their place in this corrupt system well compensated. The political prisoner who languishes in Belmarsh Prison UK warned us about the state of our media many times. Unfortunately for those in power, Americans sense when they are being lied to. A study conducted by the NORC at the University of Chicago in 2020 shows that only 14% of Americans are happy with the mainstream media. This is a serious issue for them. How can those in power program us to think as they wish if we refuse to absorb their propaganda? How can they sell us their wars and further their agendas unless we consume only the information they put out? Increasingly, Americans look to independent sources for news that’s real and trustworthy. This has resulted in corporate cash flooding the Indy news market. The backlash is a vigilant state of skepticism. People must constantly sift and weigh evidence, consider sources and the funding of those sources, before believing the information presented by them. Even then, they must remember the words of Alvin Toffler:

“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who can’t learn, unlearn and relearn.”

What the present era has in common with the Age of Enlightenment is a necessity to embrace skepticism. This has never been more important than in an era of medical-techno-fascism. Regardless your feelings on the virus that has shut down the world, people must come to realize that the policies enacted in its wake are fascist. This isn’t a matter of “trusting science”, it’s a question of whose science to trust. Maybe trust isn’t the right word here. Science isn’t about trust, it’s about questioning, inquiry and discovery. Any scientist or medical professional who speaks out against the current dogma is promptly censored, smeared, gagged and ruined. Tens of thousands have attempted to be heard around the world. I’m not talking about quacks or crack pots here. Award winning scientists from prestigious universities have attempted to make their voices heard with little result in policy. Only 14% of people are happy with mainstream media but even those who are unhappy are watching corporate news during this global crisis. They will not see any scientist who speaks outside the approved narrative on the mainstream airwaves. Even the authors of the Great Barrington Declaration have not been afforded a seat at the policy making table. The public deserves to hear the experts who assert that lockdowns cost lives, mask wearing can be harmful and social distancing is not backed by solid science. Regretfully, they won’t.

Meanwhile the corporate state seeks to claim our bodies as their own by attempting to coerce or force-vaccinate all of the population under the guise of “security and safety.” With these policies many important international guidelines, established in the aftermath of WWII and the Holocaust, have been thrown out the window.

Forced or coerced vaccination is a violation of:

1. The Nuremberg Code
2. UNESCO Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (Article 6)
3. Article 7 of the UN International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights
4. Article 3 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Notwithstanding these points are the many reasons, outlined here, that it’s very reasonable to refuse to get the jab. I’m not advising anyone what their personal choice should be. My contention is that it remain a choice, never mandated by employers or governments.

If we wish to remain free people we must maintain personal sovereignty over our own bodies and biological integrity.

If we wish to remain free people we must have access to the free flow of information without censorship.

If we wish to remain free people we must set aside our differences and speak openly with our friends, our family and our neighbors. We must cross the great divide erected by political parties. We must come to see that divide and conquer only maintains the power of those who wish to enslave us. The noose is tightening around lady liberty as the gag of censorship silences our objections to it.

We have all been lied to. The corporate state owns both parties. The corporate state runs the media. The corporate state controls the Gatekeepers who set the boundaries of discourse. The corporate state controls churches and non-profits. Every movement is control by intelligence operatives. What then, do we do? We must not be myopic, but we do need to see things in a more localized way. We can seek to understand the global goals and possible outcomes of actions taken by corrupt governments, while still organizing and networking locally. In fact, decentralization is key in this time and it is exactly what elites fear the most. The time has come to assemble your tribe.

What do I mean by ‘tribe’? This may not always be obvious. It begins with seeking out those who are like-minded people and then decreasing any spatial boundaries between you whenever possible. It begins with making an effort to bridge divides created by society, like political party division. The time is coming soon when shortages and increased poverty will make local cooperation necessary for survival. We must look to our neighbors to create communities sustainable without assistance from the centralized system of the Federal government. It means creating your own local food supplies and setting up systems of barter and trade. Prepare for the worst, because it is coming. Recently I began assembling my tribe, beginning with my soulmate whom I’ve been speaking to for more than four years on the other side of this continent.

Crossing the Great Divide

On Tuesday July 27, 2021 I set out from Western Nevada on a twenty-six hundred mile journey to North Carolina. I knew from the outset this odyssey was a mission of divine inspiration, life changing, and that I needed to make it to save my own life. That I could find the physical strength and mental fortitude to make such a taxing trip was a miracle in itself. I suffer from serious health issues that sap my strength and energy and make even day to day existence a constant challenge. Being a woman of faith I prayed for guidance, strength and safety.

Crossing the country on day one my mind and heart was filled with the primary reason for my mission, picking up the man I love and moving him to Nevada. Introduced by a mutual friend, our relationship strengthened due to a shared mindset about the state of our country and world. Personal experiences regarding elder care also solidified our bond. He had been caring for his mother when the state stepped in and took her from him. For years he tried to get her back. During this struggle he came to know others with stories similar to his; the same social worker, the same judge, the same care home. His story is compelling and heart wrenching and deserves a blog post of its own. According to my fiancé, if you watch the movie I Care a Lot, take out the Russian mob and the love affair, you transform a comedy into a documentary. I recommend doing so. Americans deserve to know this truth; our for-profit “elder care” system is designed to destroy families and channel family assets to the state and private hands. It is white collar crime on a grand scale. I am reminded of the words of Thrasymachus during his exchange with Socrates;

“Justice is nothing else than that which is advantageous to the strongest.”

When corrupt governments pass laws allowing high crimes against the People, that is not just. I’ve written about elder care in this blog post where I discuss my experience caring for my parents and lament the absence of help in doing so from my siblings. I was lucky to have two of my parents grandchildren, my son and niece, step up to care for them so I could make this journey. In my prior blog post I explain:

“The way “assisted living” and “Care” homes have propagated in the Western world makes the views of my siblings understandable. That industry long ago sold the idea that truly loving your elder is giving them to the “experts” in their final years. It was an easy sell, really. The same generation that swallowed sex, drugs and rock-n-roll as a philosophy hook line and sinker were relieved to find they didn’t have to surrender their self-serving, libertine lifestyles simply because they had aging parents. In fact, this embrace of elder care experts actually enabled them to argue that their caregiving sibling was actually the selfish one.”

I had come to see my love as my rock during these years as live-in caregiver to both my aging parents. I figuratively held his hand though separated by 2,600 miles, as he watch the Elder care system take his mother’s life and absorb his families assets and most of their sentimental items as well. His father had worked three jobs as a social worker, football coach and part time pharmacist while his mother had a long career with JP Morgan. Yet all that was left of their family’s cumulative wealth fit in a 4x8 UHaul trailer, the state took the rest.

The issue of elder care is directly tied to the greater class war against the People in America. As elites seek to consolidate wealth and power at the top they continue to thwart any efforts to maintain a thriving middle class. Hungry people will do most anything for a paycheck, including the perpetuation of a system designed to enslave. Desperate working poor people are much easier to control.

My journey cross country took on a certain urgency because I was on a deadline. I had only a week to drive 5,200 miles. I left on Tuesday, January 27th and had to be at UHaul in North Carolina by July 30th, 10:00 AM Friday morning. The trip back was sure to be slower since I’d be hauling a trailer behind me. I set out in the early morning hours for North Carolina. It was a smoky morning with no real sunrise visible. All the way through Nevada and into Utah the smoke filled sky hovered overhead like a dome, a constant reminder of the weather warfare being waged against the West by our government. It was kind of surreal.

I ended my first day in a small Wyoming town after 10 hours and 732 miles. On Day two I enjoyed a gorgeous sunrise over Wyoming and Nebraska. I made it from Western Wyoming to Davenport, Iowa after waking at 3:00 AM. It was a 13 hour drive, 984 miles, leaving me past the halfway point. I had traveled 1,700 of the 2,600 miles total I needed to go.

On day three I cut south through Illinois because I wanted to avoid Chicago, or any big city, due to protests that might be occurring, causing riots and violence. I passed Peoria via Highway 74 and at Champagne, IL, picked up highway 57 and passed through Illinois, a small part of Indiana, Kentucky and into Tennessee. I cut through the state on Interstate 40. It was a scenic, beautiful drive that ended my day on windy and steep roads. I stopped at Knoxville putting another 712 miles of road behind me.

On Friday I arrived at my destination in North Carolina feeling both relieved and elated. Stage one of my Journey was behind me and the next stage was about to begin.

It was truly wonderful finally seeing the man I love face to face, but we didn’t have much time to enjoy the moment. We only had the two of us to load the trailer and had hoped to put some miles into our return trip before the days end. We hit the road at just after four and drove until about 9:00 that night making it into Virginia on I64.

The next day we made it through five states, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana, ending the day in Illinois. We drove north on Highway 57 and stayed in Salem, Illinois. The next day we put Illinois and Iowa behind us and stayed the night in Lincoln Nebraska.

On Monday August 2nd we made it from Lincoln, Nebraska to Rawlins, Wyoming. The weather started to turn and driving conditions worsened. I’m glad we stopped. We spoke to a truck driver, who warned him of high winds between Rawlins and Evanston. Apparently these winds were strong enough to pick up and overturn even big rigs. The next morning we drove that stretch with fingers crossed and a prayer.

We ran into no issues until we hit road work going through Salt Lake City. That detained us a few hours. After entering Nevada we found ourselves faced with more strong winds. I was driving about 60 mph when at one point, just past Elko, our car was picked up for a few seconds and it was scary. I slowed down! A mile or so further up the road we saw a State trooper (the only trooper we saw in Nevada our entire journey) in the center divide at the scene of an accident. It was a truck that was hauling a trailer. Both larger than ours. The trailer had been slashed open like a tin can and I highly doubt anyone in the truck survived. We drove very slowly the rest of the way home.

We arrived home Tuesday night, August 3rd at 9:30 PM. We were tired but very happy to be home. I was keenly aware of the fact that had I waited to make this trip it may have been impossible for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which are totalitarian policies enacted under the guise of keeping us “safe.”

What are some observations from our trip?

The State of the Nation Continued….

Transforming to AI is in process

We noticed kiosk cashiers to replace live human being workers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) will soon be the norm as a component of the trans-human world being created around us.

Ghost town “construction zones”

On the way I saw hundreds of miles of roadway “under construction.” By that I mean coned off, but not being worked on. Where were the workers? In most cases there weren’t even signs that work was being done, only cones in the roadway. More than half of the drive through Nevada was coned off as construction zone. I saw no single worker in hundreds of miles. Was work really being done, or only made to look like it was in process? These are the questions that passed through my mind as the miles flowed past me.

Even Americans in small towns are worried

In Wyoming I stayed at a tiny hotel cottage, which also appeared to be a local meeting spot. As I entered to obtain my room four old men gathered around the aging woman at the counter. I stated, “I see you started the town meeting with out me.” They laughed or smiled and we engaged in a nice conversation while she checked me in. One fellow in his 90s was particularly attentive. We spoke for some time and he articulated well his concern for the state of our nation. He was concerned about having our freedoms taken away. He was concerned about government overreach. He was concerned about a looming race war that would label any white person as a white supremacist even if that were not true. Speaking to him was both thought provoking and enjoyable. It was a nice ending to a long day.

As an aside: If the majority of elderly were living somewhere other than “care homes” just think of the wisdom they could bestow upon us. As an additional side note people should be aware that the loss of elderly over the last eighteen months was exacerbated by the nationwide, if not worldwide policy, of putting sick patients into “care” homes. This resulted in high elderly mortality. It amounts to a global eldercide. Even Sweden, where they did not enact lockdowns, participated in this crime.

A general feeling of hopelessness

At gas stations people seemed stressed, agitated even. Some held signs for assistance. Other mask donned folks glanced suspiciously back and forth at others as if they were the enemy trying to kill them. There was no way for humanity to break the trance of these faceless people. They were fully enthralled in fear.

“The language of fear will cause ordinary decent people to do things that’s not in their character.” __ General James Cullen

Insufficient rest areas

We noticed that Iowa and Virginia had the best rest stops and most other states had very little or substandard facilities for weary travelers. On that windy highway in Wyoming were there safe places to pull off on this treacherous stretch of road? NO! No rest stops line the roadways of Wyoming, one of the least populated yet most traveled stretches of highway in the United States.

Booked up Hotels and Motels

Even on the weekdays of our journey it was tough finding a room for the night. Hotels and motels are filled to capacity. Why? evictions have likely begun for the millions of Americans who lost their livelihoods over the course of the past eighteen months.

Very little police presence

In 5,200 miles of roadway we only saw two police vehicles; one at the scene of an accident and one speeding past us. Where are all of the troopers and police?

The Road Ahead: Assemble Your Tribe

Now my love and I are a team preparing for the hard days to come. I know there are people my fiancé and I would like to move closer to. It remains to be seen how we will connect with them if things go bad and travel is restricted. We know these are things that must be worked out soon and that many people we care about are in various stages of awareness of the true state of our nation. We will have to navigate the terrain of communication carefully in order to maintain family and friends who are still in denial about what is to come. They will need the most support once reality sets in. If you’ve taken the time to read this blog post I thank you. My hope is that you take the time to prepare yourself and those you love. Assemble your tribe while you still can.
