If, as we believe, collective memory is essentially a reconstruction of the past, if it adapts the image of ancient events to the beliefs and spiritual needs of the present, knowledge of what was originally there is secondary, if not outright useless, since the reality of the past is no longer there as an immutable model to which one has to conform.
(Halbwachs/Widowfield 2023
Well, I dreamed I saw the knights
In armor coming
Saying something about a queen
There were peasants singing and
Drummers drumming
And the archer split the tree
That was Neil Young’s dream of course but who can say in my 100,000th dream if that song was playing in the background as 2019 folded into 2020 and 2020 into 2021 and 2021 into 2022 and 2022 into 2023. If it did that was a charming thought. I am more of a Punker though or maybe more of a rage head and I think the mode of music has changed so profoundly that our musical scales can no long balance the sound.
Nor can our heads grasp that the great inversion arose in 2020 that is never going to go away. We the People now are completely subjugated by the government in a million ways and like it. Real ID, gimme one. Biometric passport-I want that. CBDC currency-what can go wrong? 15 minute cities, sure why not? More injections to help Big Pharma? I roll my sleeves up and smile.
Man is God’s spiritual image-bearer, and, said the brilliant French economist, statesman, and author Frederic Bastiat, this is the gift from God which includes the physical, intellectual and moral life:
“He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. Life, faculties, production — in other words, individuality, liberty, property — this is man (and) these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it. Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.” (How Evil Works, David Kupelian, p. 8)
Vishal Mangalwadi, India’s foremost Christian scholar observes that the unique concept of man as God’s spiritual image-bearer gave birth to the “belief in the unique dignity of human beings,” and this is,
“…the force that created Western civilization, where citizens do not exist for the state but the state exists for the individuals. Even kings, presidents, prime ministers, and army generals cannot be allowed to trample upon an individual and his or her rights.” (Truth and Transformation: A Manifesto for Ailing Nations, pp. 12-13)
But they did and we said nothing. They are and we say even less.
“Christians should be the bearers of Hope (esperance) in a society like ours—hope for people plunged in anguish and plagued by neurosis, which we have talked about; and hope for our history, for the future. But we must be on our guard. Christian Hope does not, as is too often said, consist in believing in humanity. It is precisely the contrary. Christian Hope means being convinced that we will not go along completely on our own. It is an affirmation of the love of God. In addition—a crucial element—Christian Hope, the Hope so fundamental to the Biblical texts, has a reason for being, a place, only where there is no more human hope. Human hope (espoir) is the feeling that tomorrow will be better. One may be in the throes of an economic crisis today, but one may have grounds for hoping that the crisis will be over in one or two years. So long as human hope of this sort exists, there is no reason for Hope (espérance). Human hopes will do. Hope, precisely, has no raison d’être unless there is no more reason for human hope. This is Hope against hope.

In December 2022 and January 2023 versions, I used softening language to try to make the horrifying information somewhat easier for new readers to emotionally process. Softening words and phrases have been removed from the May 2023 version.
The brutal global mass murder program is fully intentional.
Widespread fear, confusion, despair, sickening and death are not, as many would prefer to believe, “unintended consequences.”
The killing program includes religious, psychological, behavioral, biochemical, social, economic, political, financial, monetary and military elements.
The program hides behind lies about the source and purpose of human life and procreative potential; population-carrying capacity; resource use; climate; scientific and technological aptitude; human disease; and human health. The lies are promulgated by governments, transnational organizations, mass media and State schools. The program’s effective implementation is readily observable through lived human experience over the last 60 years.—-Baliwick News
Freedom gives birth to evil as well as good. Therefore evil does not deny the existence of meaning, but rather confirms it. Freedom is not created, because it is not nature; freedom existed before the world began, it is rooted in immemorial nothingness. God is almighty over being, but not over nothingness, or over freedom.
“To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.” Friedrich Nietzsche. Barbey d'Aurveilly, French Catholic contemporary of Huysmans, writes in his review of the novel by Huysmans (A Rebours,) "after such a book, the author only has to choose between the mouth of a gun or the feet of the Cross.”
It could be the outcome of the Transhuman putsch if any humans survive that the secular falls away like scales from the eyes.

Jan 29, 2022 · (Reuters) - Canadian singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell has announced that she will remove her music from Spotify, following the lead of Neil Young in protesting the popular streaming
Ironically Neil Young is one of the biggest supporters of the vaxxx genocide! He is boycotting Spotify because they have the temerity to sponsor Joe Rogan's show. Proves that being a visionary 50 years ago means less than nothing today.
