Thank you, AP.

A thoroughly enjoyable read - recalling the abuses of the covid era during which I draped a chiffon scarf around my face to sexily pretend I was deploying a mask to counter a pretend pandemic. (Those without face coverings on London Transport could be fined and removed).

I must also thank you for the details of the Nuremberg code, particularly with reference to medical experimentation. Of course, most of us have been medically experimented upon for years, to a greater or lesser extent, but that's another story.

Wishing you a great week. xxx

Always a pleasure to hear from you Zara - you are my number one fan! LOL - and you always comment.

I only have one or two special regulars beyond yourself, there's dear Buffalo Ken in NC and his gardening blog; https://buffaloken.substack.com/ you might enjoy our chats!

And then there's Bert, always a good, short read - Bert is so succinct, unlike me with my long copy scribbles! https://bertpowers.substack.com/

I have lots more occasional ones, but those two are always chatting! And reading the comments will give you a more rounded view of my life in SA. Phew, it's 26C today, sunny and clear skies (no Chemrails) Ha Ha.

John Rubino is a special friend from many years back when he edited "Dollar Collapse" - he was always a good read: https://rubino.substack.com/p/civil-war-in-the-uk?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=1166121&post_id=158914439&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=hkcp6&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email

Substack is a very special place and I do hope the owners don't succumb to the mighty dollar as many have in the past.

Another hint to get you to consider flying south. I will pay your airfare and arrange accomodation here - life is too short not to take the plunge. And if you reside in your Creator's House He will send his angels to guard you - faith and love my dear, conquers all, as I know, you know, [Psalm 91].

Blessings as always

What a lovely response – thank you, AP!

You certainly deserve more No.1 fans. I’m sure they are searching for you and will find you in the fullness of time. No good deed is ever really lost or wasted, bestowing its benefits as it journeys amidst a waiting world.

Thank you for the links to your friends – I look forward to reading when time and tasks permit. I was out and about two days last week and paid the price by falling over in the garden - treacherous underfoot and my tiredness. I fell on top of some compost so all is well - apart from my dignity! And that’s always been frail. Lol.

However, my ‘fall from grace’ was a reminder that (1) my garden needs attention and (2) I must apply more effort to my mundane chores so that I can focus on the ideas I have for a substack before it is polluted by big finance or controlled and censored by AI, or (3) I run out of time.

Your very kind offer of transport and accommodation is deeply appreciated and I thank you. Not only am I a little frail for such adventures (but what fun!) but I am somewhat tethered to ‘my’ home by financial and contractual constraints (long, sad story).

Nevertheless, who knows what is around the corner? Challenges and opportunities! Whilst I labour away, I shall not only be thankful for a South African friend who spreads invaluable wisdom and kindness but also revels in blue skies and warm weather – a reminder that is most welcome.

Keep strong, AP, and have a wonderful week. xxx

Thank you Zara for sharing, and know that I will always be here for you. I am 80 now, and time has passed very fast, such that I need to recruit a young apprendice to carry on the good work of my Creator.

I didn't ask to come down here on Earth, it was His Will. I came with nothng material and I will leave in the same state. But I know that I am an eternal creature of the universe, which Jesus came to tell us, and my mission is to tell others of His Good News!

And He equiped me with great gifts (as we all have), but I discovered mine in my early life, when I chose to live in my Creator's house. [Psalm 91]. I have lived a blessed life of adventure and excitment protected by the angels. You would not belive the tales I can tell, of shipwrecks, and air crashes, and at least four episodes on land, climbing mountains and surviving in the winter Grampians in a tent at minus 15!.

If it is God's will, we will meet one day - Inshallah. "On the other hand, we urge you, brothers, to warn the disorderly, speak consolingly to those who are depressed, support the weak, be patient toward all. See that no one repays injury for injury to anyone, but always pursue what is good toward one another and to all others.

Always be rejoicing. Pray constantly. Give thanks for everything. This is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the fire of the spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt. Make sure of all things; hold fast to what is fine. Abstain from every form of wickedness." [1 Thessalonians 5:14,21]

Blessings

Wonderful, uplifting response! Thank you, AP!

I do hope you have recorded your adventures so we armchair thinkers can imagine and pretend that we are more courageous than we are.

I always claim to be doing my best – but I am deeply flawed and undoubtedly self-deluded! Nevertheless, onwards and, sometimes, upward. xxx

We are all flawed Zara, and thus must forgive ourselves first, before we forgive others. "...and forgive our sins father, as we forgive others that sin against us"

"Judge not others, before you first judge yourself." What can be done by if a brother/sister refuses or fails to make proper restoration of something borrowed? Is it ever proper to go before a worldly court in order to have a debt settled? (Before one goes into court, what should be considered?) If the offender refuses to make a just and proper settlement, then is it proper for the brother/sister who made the loan to take the debtor brother into court and sue him?"

I once gave a loan of £100 to a needy person who promised to repay me. He didn't honour his promise but I forgave him. Then, a few weeks later, I was in the pub and never play the slots. But for some reason, I played that day and won £100! The angels had repaid me! (Psalm 91)

"After our first parents became imperfect, the law of genetics saw to it that all their offspring inherited imperfection. ...There is no way whatsoever that medical science can overcome the consequences of inherited imperfection."

So be it (Amen)

Love and hugs

Thank you for your words of comfort and consolation, AP - most kind.

I hope to stagger on - trying not to crash into too many things or people whilst appreciating all of the many blessings we enjoy.

With gratitude. Zara. xxx

100%, I too wore no mask, no test, none of it, warned as many who would listen but the bullshit was so skillful and the threats so draconian it devolved into me, myself and I

Bravo Tom, me too, and I was ostracised also and verbally attacked in a supermarket for being unmasked! The Brits are past masters at PsyOp, Nudge, and behavioural science: I wrote about it at the time: https://www.theburningplatform.com/2021/09/18/britain-is-using-world-war-2-psychological-weapons-to-nudge-the-public-into-compliance-letter-from-great-britain-09-18-21/

"IF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...

PRESIDENT G.W.H. BUSH INTERVIEW, JUNE 1992"

----------

Sadly, this "quote" is one of those things frequently mentioned on the net which never happened.

Bush the Elder, ex Director of Central Intelligence, was not "filter less" in public or interviews as his less capable son, who frequently said the quiet parts out loud in interviews if he was not minded carefully enough. As in: "I'm just a cheerleader"

If not true Billy, it's real enough. This a long and well-researched analysis of the Bush era and post WW2 PsyOp: https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/sociopolitica/esp_sociopol_bush19.htm?fbclid=IwAR3_-Ifc8uYZF5op0kioRym9moqgH0JGMq1KHEuIDv7TDDtTF1iEAfVlKsg

@Protect & Survive

Thanks for link, I will check that out when I have a moment-

----------

As far as psy ops and what is being done to the US general population for "perception management" of our collective condition? I am reminded of the infamous quote attributed to Philip K. Dick:

"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001140/quotes/

Recently, I believe the vast majority of the US's officially countenanced GNP is essentially "vaporware". Case in point, the market valuation of Tesla (driven by hype and hopes) was so far disconnected from their actual physical plant and sales volume/product performance that the recent 50% drop in stock value doesn't even come close to bringing their valuation into line with other similar businesses in US, let alone the rest of the world.

A strong gust of wind could knock this house of cards flat PDQ.

I have also noticed that those who's wealth recently consisted mostly of 1s and 0s in data centers have been feverishly converting that collectively hallucinated value into buying up any kind of physical property and/or businesses that do something besides manipulate financial leverage & arbitrage.

Ha Ha, Billy, I noticed it too. I think they are running scared on all fronts. The next few weeks will prove the point , both yours and mine! https://17sog.substack.com/p/we-the-people-the-principles-of-political?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=998110&post_id=120758008&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

@Protect & Survive

If this house of cards collapses, it will kill a lot of people, some of whom I know well enough to speak to. I really would rather not experience Weimer Germany level inflation or Great Depression level disruption, much less the scenario sometimes described as "The Great Taking" where the top corporate instruments of our oligarchy are made whole at EVERYONE else's expense.

Yes indeed Billy, I read that book and it has a sound basis of logic. The oligarchs want everything; they can never have enough because they are running frightened to death - fearing losing what they have, and fearing not getting what they want, which is eternal power. They pray to Mammon and have lost their spiritual connection to the Great Creator, they are sick in soul.

I was counselling a CEO many years ago, who was working 24/7 even though he was extremely wealthy. His family was suffering and he was a very unhappy person. I asked him, when he thought he had owned enough...he told me whatever he had, it would never be enough! Very sad. But it taught me a lesson too!

As an impoverished yachtsman, I know that "less is more" and that I can never own anything because I came here with nothing, and I will leave with nothing except a wealth of experiences and many friends.

"Own little, use a lot" as my father wisely counselled.

That's good and Edward is always over the target. I agree Jack, I merely observe, as I am too old to do anything else! As a young man I was keen to kill communists, and trained as such, but never was deployed. Now in my dotage, I fear that "Better Dead Than Red"still holds true?

Quite a long read but well worth the effort. An old Vietnam-era movie quote comes to mind, "Free your mind and your ass will follow".

These people posing as leaders on the world's stage are all criminals in one form or another and need to be treated as such, not idolized. The time is now or never.
