”When I asked my 11-year-old son to help me unload dirt from our small pickup into his mother’s new garden boxes, his reaction was typical.

“Ummmm… I’m busy right now,” He said.

He was playing Roblock on the family laptop, wearing sweat pants and an old T-shirt, lounging on the sofa, feet on the coffee table.

“No you’re not,” I said.

There was a fight, moaning, excuses... the usual.

Moments later, we were next to a wheelbarrow shoveling dirt. He looked at me with flat eyes, his hood up, shoulders slumped, and said, “Why do we have to do this?”

I thought for a moment, because I’ll admit, it was a valid question. Neither of us were all that into flowers or vegetables, or any of the things that would be grown in those garden boxes. But my wife, Mel, loves gardening.

I thought, and he waited, and finally I said, “When you love someone, you serve them.”

I went on, telling him that I want him to grow up to be the kind of man who serves his family, friends, and community.

“This” I said while gesturing to the dirt, and the garden boxes I built the weekend before, and the wheelbarrow and shovel, and the first of many truckloads of dirt we would unload over the next few weeks, “Is what love looks like.”

He didn’t like my answer. I could see it in the way he reluctantly picked his shovel back up.

We finished unloading the dirt. The next day, while I was at work, and the kids and Mel had the day off because it was between terms, Mel sent me this picture. Mel picked up another load of dirt and before she had a chance to unload it, Tristan voluntarily started working. When she asked him “why,” he shrugged and said, “Because I love you.”

I’d never been prouder of my son.”

I have said more than once that the main stories the media report on are agenda driven. Here’s an instance of that.

From Glenn Glazier, this commentary on CBDC, a thorough wrap-up of recent history: “Okay, granted that Government purposely suppressed safe, effective, and inexpensive Covid treatments unavailable throughout most of the Covid Pandemic . . . .

. . . . and okay, granted that Government locked down small businesses during Covid but allowed Big businesses to remain open, thus facilitating in the most massive transfer of wealth from the Middle Class to the Upper Class in human history,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government during Covid arrested people walking alone in parks without masks but allowed people to mass riot in the streets during the BLM riots (that resulted in murders, assaults, and untold $Tens of Millions in property damage),

. . . . and okay, granted that Government forced people to wear masks during the Covid Pandemic even though masks are useless,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government CREATED the virus that caused this Pandemic in the first place,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government does far more damage to the environment in the purchase of oil from foreign countries with little-to-NO environmental protection laws in place for drilling oil,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government will ultimately do more damage to the environment in the production of Electric Vehicles than gas-powered vehicles could ever do,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government has LIED to us about the entire premise of the burning of fossil fuels and the subsequent release of CO2 as the cause of global temperature changes, given that just a mere 40, 50 years ago Gov’t was warning us about the impending Ice Age that’ll wipe us out,

. . . . and okay, granted that even if CO2 is the culprit behind Climate Change –– it isn’t, but for the sake of argument, let’s assume it is –– Government released into the atmosphere far more CO2 into the atmosphere than we ever will when Biden blew up the Nord Stream pipeline, and they released for more CO2 and pollutants (and killed more people) via the massive fires throughout the Western World, caused by the Nature Nazis blocking land upkeep to prevent these fires, and any cutbacks we are forced into does nothing to the environmental given the pollution emitted from China and India,

. . . . and okay, granted that the amount of debt added to the U.S.’s National Debt under Joe Biden –– not the total U.S. debt, but just what Biden alone has added –– is equivalent to spending $8 Million per day, every single day, from the birth of Jesus until now,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government spends more in the U.S. than any nation worldwide on Education, only for our graduating students to be some of the least knowledgeable people on the planet, to the point of even embarrassing North Koreans who defected from that Police State,

. . . . and okay, granted that nations that engaged in Communist, Socialist, Police State, censorship-driven, freedom-of-speech-driven Governments have never once in human history been good for the citizens of said nations,

. . . . and okay, granted that the Biden Government has allowed Millions and Millions of undocumented, unvetted illegals to flood into our country –– not knowing their Covid status, without knowing if they’re street criminals, drug traffickers, child-sex traffickers, or America-hating terrorists –– all whilst suppressing and punishing Americans who dare to speak out,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government worked in coordination with Big Pharma to *POISON* nearly an entire World Population with an experimental mRNA gene therapy that was untested, and thus technically illegal, given rolling out the vax invoking the EUA (Emergency Use Authoritization Act) is illegal if there are existing therapeutics on the market, and we DID have safe & effective Covid treatments –– Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine,

. . . . and okay, granted that Government forced upon us (during the planned “Pandemic“) a mail-in ballots mechanism which saw anomalies in voter distribution never seen before in U.S. elections,

. . . . and okay, granted that U.S. Governments have sponsored a U.S. Food Pyramid which is literally the exact OPPOSITE of what we should be eating, a food paradigm that has resulted in 65% of Americans at present living with some form of metabolic disease, and note that co-morbidities was the cause of deaths in nearly 90% of Covid deaths,

. . . . and okay, granted that Governments are collaborating with the World Economic Forum to take away ALL private ownership of property; take away ALL choice in school education; take away ALL choice in food consumption choices, forcing us to eat bugs and synthetic meats –– oh, except for those in Government and those at the WEF, who will continue to eat their seafood, their steaks, their hamburgers, their cheeses, etc. –– take away ALL of our freedoms of protest, speech, and assembly; take away ALL of our ability to purchase the homes of our choosing, and the vehicles of our choosing . . .

. . . . I’m sure this nation’s switch over to Digital Currency, where the Government oversees, and has control over, literally every penny of every purchase all American citizens make, I’m sure this won’t be bad for the average American citizen . . . . . right?”

Unless we reject the passport, the ID and retain cash.

Seems every generation has its share of people who believe they are better and know best how the rest of society should live. Interestingly enough, their plans never result in the power elite having less money and power.

Bill Gates: “Digital ID Must Be Accepted by US Citizens by 2028” Otherwise, risk “exclusion from society”

Globalist billionaire Bill Gates has threatened to “exclude” US residents from society if they do not comply with mandatory new Digital ID technology by 2028 at the latest.

Under the framework of digital public infrastructure (DPI), the United Nations, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and partners of the Rockefeller Foundation have announced the launch of the “50-in-5” initiative, which aims to accelerate the rollout of digital ID, digital payments, and data sharing in 50 “first mover” countries by 2028.

This is a request to all tourists, don’t touch starfish.

What happens when we lift a starfish out of water for an impromptu photo session?

All over the body of starfish are papules called dermal gills. Carbon dioxide gases are exchanged for oxygen between the coelomic liquid of the starfish and the water. Essentially, it’s how they breathe, like having hundreds of tiny noses all over your body.

As fresh air is toxic to starfish and they can’t hold their breath for very long, each time they’re lifted out of the water for a photo op, they are drowning and suffering from a build up of carbon dioxide. It’s the equivalent of someone filling your lungs with water for a little while and then emptying them again. It’s not a good day out. When this is done repeatedly, it’s a flip of the coin as to whether the poor creature can die from drowning or the stress of being semi-drowned so many times.

Wildlife are not our playthings. Just because a creature is slow enough to be caught by human hands, that doesn’t give us the right to do so, and the social media attention gained certainly does not justify the harm caused to the critter.

This is an act we’re all guilty of at some point. What was happening to that animal in the moment didn’t cross our minds. But now we know better, so we must do better.

In chatting to many people I have been able to help them identify their basic purpose. It has always been a specialization of the desire to help.

I think the problem is that we are not taught to look for it, to recognize and pursue it. In many cases we are dissuaded from it - “You can’t make enough money doing that!”

If you would like some ideas on how to identify your basic purpose, here’s a blog post I wrote to help you:

How To Work Out Your Basic Purpose In Life.

(Tom: I am working hard to make this potential reality a fiction and I know a lot of others are too, bless them.)

“So the final conclusion would surely be that whereas other civilizations have been brought down by attacks of barbarians from without, ours had the unique distinction of training its own destroyers at its own educational institutions, and then providing them with facilities for propagating their destructive ideology far and wide, all at the public expense. Thus did Western Man decide to abolish himself, creating his own boredom out of his own affluence, his own vulnerability out of his own strength, his own impotence out of his own erotomania, himself blowing the trumpet that brought the walls of his own city tumbling down, and having convinced himself that he was too numerous, labored with pill and scalpel and syringe to make himself fewer. Until at last, having educated himself into imbecility, and polluted and drugged himself into stupefaction, he keeled over--a weary, battered old brontosaurus--and became extinct.” Malcolm Muggeridge

This is another one of those "Hidden in plan sight" moments.

Until next time,
dream big dreams,
plan out how to achieve them,
be continually executing your plans,
enlist people to your causes,
travel and/or read widely, preferably both,
all the while observing what you observe
rather than thinking what you are told to think,
think well of your fellow man,
take time to help your fellow man,
he sorely needs it and it will help you too,
eat food that is good for your body,
exercise your body,
take time to destress,
and do the important things
that make a difference -
they are rarely the urgent ones!
