always exceptions to the rules. </span>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And
sometimes you don’t realize there can be exceptions to the rules, until you are
one.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Should we
seek to be the exception to the rule? Absolutely not. But that doesn’t mean
there aren’t ever exceptions to rules. And fortunately, I am not anyone else’s
judge. Because I am not privy to their personal revelation, as they are not
privy to mine.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I’ve been
studying the story in the scriptures after Lehi had a vision about the
destruction of Jerusalem and he packs up his family and leaves town. But then
he sends his sons back to that very town that was so dangerous they had to
leave it. Twice. Part of me wonders why a prophet of God didn’t have the
foresight to know that he would need to take the scriptures with him on this
journey, or the foresight to know that his children would need spouses if they
were going to be able to multiply and replenish the earth eventually, and later
in the promised land. But nonetheless, he sent them back after the fact. And after
failed attempts to get the brass plates, Nephi returned on his own, not knowing
how he was going to do the task but knowing the Lord would provide a way. He
had faith. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And this is
where it gets interesting. He happens to stumble across Laban, the man holding
their beloved scriptures hostage so to speak, drunk and passed out on the
ground. Does the Spirit prompt him to take Laban’s cloak and sword and the Lord
change Nephi’s voice so that he can pretend to be Laban at the treasury to
retrieve the scriptures and then leave the same way he came with none being the
wiser? Laban able to wake and return home safe after the fact? Nope. Did he
send a lightening strike to cause Laban’s despise, so that Nephi wouldn’t have
to deal with him? Nope. Instead, the Holy Ghost prompted Nephi to break a
commandment of God – given to the children of Israel by a prophet of God named
Moses. <i>Thou shalt not kill</i>. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Wait, you
mean to tell me that the commandment, <i>Thou shalt not kill</i> is not a “one
size fits all” commandment? That what the prophet says isn’t always final? This
wasn’t an in the situation self-defense moment that could ethically be
justified, though Laban <i>had</i> tried to kill them the last time they were
in the city and tried to “buy” the scriptures from him with their family’s
wealth. No, in this instance, Laban was passed out on the ground, literally defenseless.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I reminded
myself that we believe the Book of Mormon to be the most true and correct book
on the face of the earth today. And that we are also taught to liken the
scriptures unto ourselves. And this scripture story from that book is telling
us that the commandment to not kill did not apply to Nephi in that moment and
in that situation in time. Nephi wasn’t a prophet at that point. But he was on
the Lord’s errand, and the Spirit gave him a direction. Did he automatically pull-out
Laban’s sword and take the man’s life? No. He said, or thought in a prayerful
manner, <i>now wait a minute, I have never killed a man in my life. Are you
sure?</i> He was seeking a confirmation from the Spirit. Which, if I were in
that situation, I would have done too. And Nephi received that confirmation
through personal revelation. Through the Holy Ghost – a member of the godhead. And
after that confirmation, he killed Laban.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So what does
that mean? Does that mean that turn the other cheek is not a one size fits all
teaching from the scriptures either? Ammon literally cut off the arms of
Lamanites that were trying to steal or scatter the king’s flock he was
responsible for. Jesus took a whip into the temple and chased out money
changers with it. Moroni led an army against the Lamanites to protect his
family, his country and freedoms, and his religion. In fact, when Jesus knew
that he would soon be leaving his apostles, he told them, “he that hath a
purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let
him sell his garment, and buy one.” (Luke 22: 36) But wait, the
Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s buried their weapons of war and covenanted after their
conversion, to never take another life. And the Lord protected them, through
Heleman’s Stripling Warriors, who were also miraculously protected. So why no
miracle for Nephi preventing him from having to take a life? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Why didn’t these
other scripture heros turn the other cheek? Why weren’t they anti-violence, or anti-weapon?
The scriptures say that the Nephites had never been happier than during the time
of Moroni and even revere him by saying that if all men were like him, the
devil would have no power over the hearts of the children of men. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This creates
a quandary in my mind. How can both be true? Thou shalt not kill, and, it’s
okay to take a man’s life if the Spirit tells you to. Turn the other cheek,
unless the spirit tells you to stand up and fight in multiple battles that kill
people, to protect your freedom, religion, your wife and children? Be gentle
and kind, unless evil men try to scatter flocks of the king you are responsible
for which will then cause the king to execute the servants responsible for the
flocks. Be patient with those not doing what is right in the temple, unless you
are indeed charged with “cleaning” the temple of those who were defiling it.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">It’s taken a
lot of courage for me to ask these questions, especially when we’ve been taught
since we were young that if we do what is right, we will be blessed. And then
when you are doing everything right – tragedy still strikes, and trials still
bombard you. Yet we are also taught to read, study and follow the scriptures –
the word of God written by prophets called of God. And the scriptures clearly
have within their sacred pages, many different examples that contradict its own
(or the Lord’s own) teachings of dire importance and with dire consequences of
following each or not following each, in different situations. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">So
essentially, what I am understanding is that the scriptures are teaching us
that we should follow the prophet unless the spirit constrains us from doing
so. I know, the cognitive dissonance is real and I’ve been struggling with it
for a while now. Especially after receiving personal revelation – very strong
and clear personal revelation (3 times by the way, because I didn’t just take the
promptings at face value either, just like Nephi) that I should not force my
family to wear face masks – not to be rebellious – but because they would be <b>harmful</b>
to us. <b>And</b> that we should not be vaccinated with an experimental vaccine
with no long-term safety data and that doesn’t even provide immunity for which
they are vaccinating you against – a virus with a 99% survival rate for the
majority of population, and certainly the ages of those in my immediate family.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The Lord
provided a way for Nephi to do what He needed done. It just wasn’t the, <i>thou
shalt not kill</i> or <i>turn the other cheek</i> way. Which teaches me that
there is no one size fits all for anything: mandates or policies, laws or
urgings. And I also realize that some have received personal revelation that they
and their family <i>should</i> wear masks and get vaccinated. To which I say,
great! You have your truth and your spiritual confirmation for your situation. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But so do I.
Is mine any less valid than yours? I can’t judge the way you received your <i>personal</i>
revelation, so is it fair for you to judge the way I received my <i>personal</i>
revelation?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Can you
imagine if Nephi went back to camp with the scriptures, and his brothers who
finally got out of him (he was probably a little shell shocked, having just
taken another person’s life), how he had gotten the scriptures? Can you imagine
the ribbing and verbal attacks that Laman and Lemuel gave him? Up to that
point, I don’t even think Laman and Lemuel had killed anyone yet. And here was
their younger brother, who was trying to be a righteous “leader over them” and
who had favor of the Lord, who killed a man! And the questioning looks from
Sam, not knowing what to say, worried about his brother. Did he verbally accuse
Nephi of being an apostate because he didn’t follow the prophet (like family
members have accused me of being because <i>I</i> followed the Spirit)? Or was
Sam in awe of Nephi and his courage and his ability to follow the Spirit so
closely in that extremely difficult situation – and grateful that he wasn’t the
one that was called on to do such a difficult thing? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But Nephi
had just taken a life. A life that the Holy Spirit had prompted him to take.
How are we supposed to liken that scripture story to us? Why are we given the
gift of the Holy Ghost, if we are supposed to ALWAYS follow everything the
prophet tells us to do? Shouldn’t the prophet be enough? And why are we given
the Holy Ghost if we are supposed to ALWAYS follow the scriptures? How can all
three make sense, if they contradict each other – even within the very pages of
those scriptures?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And then
when Nephi and his brothers returned to his family in the wilderness, did he
get reprimanded for breaking a commandment of God? For not following the
prophet? Did self-righteous ward members call him up and tell him that he was
sinning for killing a man? Did they lecture him on how he must have been
following the wrong spirit – because it went against what the prophet Moses had
said? I don’t know, the scriptures don’t tell us that. But I can tell you that
my family has experienced that. In fact, we were told that members of our ward had
died because of “people like us” that don’t wear masks. Why would the Lord put
us in that situation unless we were ALL supposed to learn something from it?
Why was Nephi put in that situation? Why was that situation of Nephi’s put in
the scriptures that we are told to follow, if we aren’t supposed to follow it
and learn something from it?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Again, which
truth do you follow? The truth that every self-righteous church member or local
priesthood leader tells you that you should follow? The truth the prophet tells
you to follow? The truth the scriptures tell you to follow?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Or the truth
the Holy Spirit tells you to follow? Truth that comes from the one source that
is not imperfect like a man can be imperfect, biased like a man can be biased,
self-righteous like a man can be self-righteous? The truth that comes from one
of the members of the Godhead?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">But that
can’t be right. Right? Because if everyone was just going to follow the Holy
Spirit and receive personal revelation all willy nilly like that, going against
what the prophet has said, then who could judge them and let them know that
yes, they did receive that personal revelation and are doing what is right (and
are an exception to the rule), or no – they are delusional and made up that
“personal revelation” so that they could be an exception to the rule and not
have to wear masks or get vaccinated?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Maybe that’s
the point. Maybe it’s not black or white like we have tried to formulate it in
our minds to be so that we as imperfect human beings can understand it. It gets
a little hairy and complicated for me. Like how it is possible to have a Savior
that provides both mercy and justice at the same time. An oxymoron of sorts.
Being the mother of a son who has been a victim of a severe crime, how can
there ever be justice for my son who was innocent and the victim, but at the
same time, mercy for the criminal who abused him (a self-righteous church member
and priesthood leader in our ward). But just because I can’t fully wrap my head
around it, doesn’t mean it isn’t truth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I have been
learning to follow the spirit my whole life, many times in very difficult and
important situations, and I have a testimony that when I follow the Spirit, my
life and my family are blessed. Not necessarily in worldly ways like with a steady
income, the best running car, or a constant clean bill of health. But with
miracle after miracle, experience after experience, confirming this testimony
to me. So no, I’m not going to stop following the Spirit because what the Spirit
tells me to do might make someone else uncomfortable and have to think about
these difficult situations in the scriptures that many would prefer to gloss
over and not deeply analyze. I’m not obligated to make anyone feel comfortable.
I’m sure Nephi, Moroni, Ammon, and our Savior Jesus Christ, didn’t make
everyone around them feel comfortable when they followed the Spirit or the
Savior’s own teachings (you know, confronting a bag of literal chopped off human
arms doesn’t exactly bring comfort). But they didn’t do it to make other people
feel comfortable. They followed the Spirit for God and to fulfill His purposes.
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I want you
to know that I know that Jesus Christ lives. He loves each and every one of us
individually. And he knows that we have individual needs and situations and
circumstances. He knows that physically not everyone can fast – even if they
have the faith to try to do so. For years after a failed colorectal surgery
with the medications I was taking and the diet I was on, I could not fast
because constipation would have been the death of me. I’ve also felt the same
about women who are pregnant or nursing – they shouldn’t fast unless directed
by the spirit to do so. Their body is doing something more important like
creating a new life. And when sick, your body is doing something more important
like healing. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He knows
that not everyone can physically kneel at an alter in the temple, and when they
can’t, they can sit in a chair instead – especially after having knee surgery
and being unable to bend their knee let alone put any weight on that bent
knee. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He knows
that not every missionary called to the Mexico City MTC to learn Spanish for
their mission can receive shipments of their life-saving clotting-factor medication
that must stay refrigerated so that it is ready to reconstitute and be given
intravenously when needed while there– so an exception is made for them to
attend the Provo MTC instead. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He knows
that a young boy who was sexually abused and turned into a functioning
alcoholic by a ward member and priesthood leader for 6 years, a child molester,
who unfortunately had church leaders – other priesthood leaders - fooled and
protecting him for years when questions were raised about him…He knows that
that young boy, even though unable to follow the word of wisdom at the time,
needed to be able to attend the temple with his family to have his little
sister sealed to them. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">He knows
that not everyone can partake of the sacrament bread if they have an autoimmune
disease or an allergy, so they are able to bring their own gluten free bread or
cracker so they can participate in that saving ordinance. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Could the
Lord have given miracles in each situation instead of giving someone an
opportunity to be an exception to the rule? Absolutely. But maybe the
experience of the situation, and the understanding of how to use personal
revelation and the gift of the Holy Ghost in our lives, is a more important
thing to learn. Because by following the Spirit we are choosing Heavenly Father’s
will and understanding over our own will and understanding. We are exercising
our faith at a higher level than just going through the motions of letting the
prophet tell us what we should do – something that doesn’t help us build our
own testimony of truly knowing what the Lord wants us to do in that situation
when two things are asked of us that can’t be made sense of together.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">IF there are
ever exceptions to the rules, there <i>always</i> has to be exceptions to the
rule - unless He wants to provide a way for that solution to work for everyone
the same way. Like when looking to the serpent staff to be healed of snake
bites. Which He is definitely capable of doing. But if that were the case with
my situation, then I wouldn’t have received personal revelation different from
what church members had been urged to do. And if it was safe and effective for
everyone, then church members who died from a stroke or heart attack, or
suffered from Guillain Barre Syndrome, or other auto immune diseases, or
paralysis shortly after receiving the vaccination, wouldn’t have happened. And
those who have suffered with mental, emotional, and not to mention physical
consequences from keeping viruses and bacteria (that their bodies try to expel
out of our mouths and nose as part of our God-given immune system) trapped on a
thin piece of cloth so that their body is forced to re-breathe it in over and
over again, subjecting their body to infection, wouldn’t happen. And by the
way, bacterial pneumonia which is caused by wearing masks regularly, has the
same symptoms as COVID – which the hospitals aren’t looking or testing for, and
if not treated properly, can also cause respiratory distress and death.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I remember
in family scripture study as a youth ,my dad talking about how there is always
the letter of the law and then the spirit of the law. I don’t think I truly
understood that until the last several years. Because in my experience, over
and over and over again, including more recently, there is no one size fits all,
just like when Jesus prevented those who were <b>legally</b> allowed to stone a
woman for committing adultery, by reminding them that they too were not without
sin. He healed a man, and ate food from a field on the Sabbath – all against
the letter of the law. He butted heads with the government leaders and medical
professionals of his time over and over again. The same people our current
first presidency is telling us to trust. But not every government official or
medical professional believes the same things or encourages the same things. How
do we know which person with which viewpoint, and with which scientific study
paid for by the companies that stand to profit the most from the treatment they
are pushing, to trust, if not by praying to God and acting directly on the
personal revelation we receive? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Why were we given
the gift of the Holy Ghost if we already had the scriptures, and a living
prophet? Is it the redundancy that provides the most safety? I recently learned
about the Circle of Willis and the important role it plays to brain blood circulation
in my graduate aphasiology class. It seems that God planned for a lot of
important systems to be redundant for a reason, including the testimony of
three witnesses, and the testimony of the eight witnesses.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I am so
grateful for my Savior Jesus Christ, for a Heavenly Father who knows me and my
family and our needs individually, and for the gift of the Holy Ghost that
provides me with personal revelation and the free agency to act on that
personal revelation. The same free agency that we all fought for before we came
to earth, but are now all too willing to let the government and our fellow
human beings, remove from us so that we can feel “comfortable” and “safe.” I
know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live, and will provide a way for
each of us in our individual situations to do the things that they want us and
NEED us to do. What is right for us.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">And I’m also
grateful that it is not my prerogative to judge anyone on how they receive or
don’t receive or act on or don’t act on their own personal revelation. We sing
about Nephi’s courage in Primary. He had the courage to have faith, to know
that the Lord would provide a way for him. He had the courage to trust the way
that was provided to him, even though it was not the way he expected or even
would have wanted, and asked for and received confirmation when he had
questions about it. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I hope and
pray that I can have the courage of Nephi, the courage of Moroni, Ammon, and
countless other examples in the scriptures, including Jesus Christ. Because I
too know that the Lord will provide a way for each one of us to accomplish the
things that He has commanded us, in the way that he wants us to individually
accomplish them. Even if that makes us an exception to the “rule.”</span></p>

day. I assure you it was purely innocent on my part. But the words have started
filling my head while I am trying to sleep again – so it looks like I’m back.
It’s been a while – but when the Spirit speaks, I feel it important to follow.
However, I know that the spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. I’m trying my
best here.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I can understand why an entire church would blindly follow a
prophet, who is a man – just like themselves. But what I can’t understand is
why people would blindly follow the mainstream media, especially since the <b>Smith
Mundt Act</b> and <b>Project Mockingbird</b> are PUBLIC RECORD. It is extremely
important that you read both (especially how it affects the mainstream media in
the United States of America), for you to be able to understand the rest of
this post. We’re taught to “Search, Ponder and Pray,” so consider this the
searching part of your due diligence. So please take 5 minutes and go look up
both of those things. And do me a favor, go to <a href="http://www.duckduckgo.com">www.duckduckgo.com</a> to search, instead of
Google. You’ll get very similar results – the ones that Google censors and the
ones they don’t. I don’t know about you, but I totally trust Google, Facebook,
Twitter, etc. (sarcasm) to decide what I can and cannot learn about and who I
can and cannot learn from. Last I checked, they do not follow the Holy Spirit
when making these decisions – so I choose to trust the source of all truth,
rather than big tech and social media. So do me a favor and copy and paste both
of those phrases above (one at a time) into the DuckDuckGo search engine and
spend 5 minutes reading about them. Then come back and you and I will be able
to understand each other a little better.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Cue: some good background waiting music</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Awesome. I appreciate you taking the time to see where I am
coming from. And isn’t it enlightening to learn new things? Knowing what you
know NOW, does that change your world view at all? I can tell you – it did
mine. Knowing that the mainstream media in the United States of America can LEGALLY
lie to us and manipulate us and feed us PROPAGANDA (“<span class="js-about-item-abstr">communication that is primarily used to influence an
audience and further an agenda, which may not be objective and may be
selectively presenting facts to encourage a particular synthesis or perception,
or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational
response to the information that is being presented” – Wikipedia)</span> –
should be eye-opening for everyone.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So a little background in case you’re new here – and happen
to still be reading. Last year I became very confused with the fear narrative,
the government’s response, the church’s response, and how polarized the whole
country became. So, I decided to “Search, Ponder and Pray.” And after the
praying part, I received a VERY CLEAR answer from the Spirit that eventually
reminded me that fear is not God’s way (it is literally the opposite of faith) and
that there was a lot of deceit going on in the world. I was directed to
continue to search and follow the Spirit. And then I received another direction
– that I should write about what I was learning to help others learn too. A
tall order for a gal who would rather avoid confrontation and conflict in a world
teaming with wolves in sheep’s clothing. But through trusting Him, I have
started this journey to discover truth – not truth to the world (who we already
know can legally lie and manipulate us), but Truth to God (who loves us and
wants us to be happy and live by faith, not fear).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So think about your interaction with the media this year. If
there hadn’t been someone constantly telling you we should be afraid of this new
virus that supposedly nobody understood (and they still don’t understand – just
ask if they can prove that it has even been isolated in a lab yet) all year
long, would you have even known it existed? Was it so deadly that people were
dropping dead in the streets all around you? I know images from the media are
now coming to your mind – so try to remember that actors can be paid, images
and videos can be altered, headlines CAN LEGALLY LIE and twist the truth and
presidents of media companies are paid by those who want you to be afraid
instead of having faith in God. Because once you decide to trust in God and ask
him through faith what is true or not – their whole narrative dissolves and
they lose control over you. Fear creates ratings, ratings create more funding,
and the government gets to train you to think through fear rather than faith
(and that THEY will be your savior, not Jesus Christ). That the only way we
will all survive this pandemic is to trust in them as they slowly take each of
our God-given and constitutional rights away – and not question any of it! Stay
with me. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m not trying to be insensitive. I know that people have
died over the last year and a half, and just about every family I know,
including my own, has been affected by this virus on some level. But if you
knew that the protocol used at the hospitals is what is killing the majority of
patients – especially those who are older and those with preexisting
conditions, would you be surprised? What if you knew that there is a very
effective and inexpensive prophylactic treatment (one you take to prevent
infection) for those who are at risk, and the sooner you treat an infected
individual with the same inexpensive and very effective treatment (that has
less side-effects than Tylenol and Asprin), the better – not waiting until they
can’t breathe and then telling them to come to the hospital (which is the CDC
and NIH protocol!). At that point if oxygen is not helping, they immediately
put people on ventilators (remember the ventilator shortage?). That is what
killed people – the wrong protocol – not this virus with a 99.9% recovery rate
for the majority of the population (just like the flu). The fear created by the
media (that our own government instigated by giving them permission) created
panic, and everyone who was sick followed what the government told them to do,
and a lot of people died in the process. We trusted in the arm of flesh.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ask yourself this, why are even medical professionals so
polarized in this “pandemic”? We keep hearing “follow the science” but what
they really mean, is we can only follow the science that they tell us to follow
– and if anyone tries to go against that narrative of science that they approve,
they will censor and silence them. I don’t know about you, but “science” is
constantly changing and evolving. Didn’t we all learn that in 8<sup>th</sup>
grade – about the scientific process? You know, someone has a hypothesis, then
we collect data, observe and experiment to test that hypothesis. Never in the
history of science were scientists and doctors told that they weren’t allowed
to ask questions or try to improve upon what they already know or have been
told. Otherwise, we would never have new research and new treatments. Yet that
is what our government and social media are telling us – that there is only one
science right now and we cannot question it! Gone is critical thinking. Gone is
using your experience and knowledge and building on that. And gone is the
medical doctor’s freedom to treat a patient how they believe they should be
treated according to the best treatments that they know, and their experience.
Isn’t that why we have the freedom to get a second opinion? If we don’t like
the prognosis or treatment plan that one doctor gives us, we can find another
doctor that gives us different options (two different sciences). Why is it
suddenly different with Fauci (who has not clinically treated one patient with
COVID)? It’s all the sudden his way or the highway. Do you realize that the
government is now threatening to revoke medical licenses from doctors who have
successfully treated thousands of COVID patients, with NO DEATHS, because they
did not follow their “wait until you can’t breathe and then put you on a
ventilator only giving you a 20% survivability rate, encouraging your body to
give up” treatment protocol? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When you tell me to trust medical professionals, do you know
what I think of? Two of my last three surgeries and everything that went wrong
with them. Medical professionals are human too – and while I believe some try
to follow the Spirit when treating individuals, the majority do not. Medical
professionals are for the most part taught to think within the box of the
school of thought they were taught in. Why do you think naturopathic doctors
are shunned by them? Because they think outside of that box that they were
taught. Doctors today are taught to look up ailments on a particular website and
prescribe the drug that that website tells them to. Do you know what is
missing? Figuring out what is causing the problem and trying to fix <i>that</i>
rather than just treating the problem. Before last year my doctor recommended I
be on over 35 different prescription medications for the ailments and symptoms
that I went to them for. And I trusted them – I blindly followed their “authority”!
And I kept having symptoms (possibly side-effects from the chemicals I was
putting in my body??), but no one with superior knowledge of the body and how
it works could tell me how to fix what was causing the problem, not just
putting a bandage on the symptom. I think medical doctors do a lot of good. But
I think that they all have their own motivations, biases, experiences and
ethics.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the first surgery was by a colorectal surgeon. I told him
that I had a bleeding disorder – and like usual, he didn’t even ask if I needed
any clotting factor before or after surgery. But I did my due diligence and got
my hematologist involved (who knows how to treat my hemophilia) and we made a
plan for me to receive that clotting factor before and after. She also
advocated for me to have the surgery in a hospital rather than an outpatient
center, just in case any bleeding became uncontrollable. But the problems came
after the surgery. I had severe swelling and pain and for weeks I was unable to
function properly. Every time I called the surgeon’s office because I felt like
what I was experiencing was beyond the realm of what I should expect after
surgery – the nurse would always tell me I was fine and that some pain is
expected. Without even seeing what I was talking about, she insisted I was fine
and overreacting. When I finally got an appointment to see the surgeon (after
requesting a different surgeon because I no longer felt good about the one I
had – which they refused to let me do!) he said, “wow! We should have charged
you for weight loss surgery too – you’re down 20 pounds!” And then, “ooooh,
yeah, that is a lot of swelling.” I had been suffering for weeks in excruciating
pain and he was joking about wanting to make more money off of me and then
validated what I already knew – I had a lot of swelling that shouldn’t still be
there! It has been years, and I still do not function properly and have had painful
side-effects since. What I didn’t do that time, was my due diligence. I didn’t research
the surgeon beforehand (my doctor referred him to me, so he should know what he
is doing, right?) and I didn’t pray about the surgeon, OR whether or not I
should have the surgery that he recommended. That was on me – but he was not
innocent in his lack of knowledge, lack of bedside manners and blatant vanity. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The second surgery was on my right knee. I tore my meniscus,
ACL, MCL and LCL. I felt good about my surgeon this time. I had done my research
and knew he was successful and experienced with good reviews. We got the treatment
plan from my hematologist – clotting factor before and after – and they put me
under. What I woke up to was two nurses arguing with each other in a panicked
tone. Come to find out, that even though my chart said to administer the clotting
factor right after the meds that would knock me out before the surgery – whoever
was responsible for that forgot to give me the clotting factor (which has to be
done intravenously). It took me a really long time to heal and recover, and had
my body had the clotting factor in place before the surgery, it may have had
the tools it needed and started that healing process faster. My point? Medical
professionals make mistakes all the time. They are human too, meaning they are
not all knowing and all powerful – unlike our Heavenly Father. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So when a new statement from the first presidency of the
church came back that contradicted the spiritual confirmation that I had
already received, and my research that the Spirit directed me to do did not
support, I was a very shaken. Not testimony-wise or faith-wise, but rather “how
can both be true?”-wise. So the first thing I did, after reading and re-reading
the statement and feeling rather strange – including making observations about
the wording and the language used, and the claims stated, I did what I have
always done and been taught to do – I went to the source – God – to find out
the truthfulness of the statement as it related to me and my family. I also
noted the verb “urge” was used – not “required” which in and of itself implies
individual interpretation and choice, but it was certainly not emphasized. And
the answer I received, through tears, was the same as before – including
sharing what I know while following the Spirit. A tall order in a world filled
with passion and hate and judgement and blame and shame right now. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So now to the “stir” I caused amidst my fellow ward and
stake members. Back when the church first released the news statement that the
prophet had been vaccinated and he urged everyone else to get it, I AGAIN did
what I had been taught my whole life when I hear something that I didn’t think
went along with the research and data that I had been finding and learning through
the direction of the Holy Ghost. I prayed about it. “If any of you lack wisdom,
let him ask of God… James 1:5.” I received an answer that my family and I
should not get the experimental vaccine. But in that news statement, the
prophet had said that it was still a personal choice, and individuals should
consult with their personal medical professionals. Well in my research, I was
able to find doctors that had done the same research and have questioned that
narrative as well, so my personal medical professionals also do not believe
that this experimental vaccine is safe and don’t recommend it. That added to
the prompting that I had already received – we shouldn’t get it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now fast forward to the next “new” statement by the first
presidency (no signatures though, like every proclamation we have received –
just their typed names at the end – ). They were again urging members to get
the experimental vaccine. And making other statements throughout the news
release, that I have learned through my research guided by the Spirit and have
already come to the conclusion through the Spirit, were untrue. But this time,
no mention of individual choice. I also observed that common language usually
used by our general authorities like, “we have received revelation” or “it is a
personal decision” (which was mentioned in their last statement), or “seek the
guidance of the Holy Ghost” or ANYTHING relating to God or the Gospel of Jesus
Christ – was MIA from it. But what it did say was to trust the medical
professionals and government officials. So yeah, I was a little confused,
especially with my history with medical professionals (and the general track
record of politicians and government officials). Never in the history of the
church has the prophet or the scriptures told us to trust in the arm of flesh –
and not God. The prophet is not God – he is supposed to speak for God when he
is acting as a prophet. But he is also human and subject to human weakness,
bias (a retired medical professional), and his own experience). </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So seeing how this conflicted with my first 2 answers from
the Spirit, I took it to the Lord again and asked if it was HIS will. The
answer I received shook me. Through tears (yes, again!) I asked for understanding
and wondered why the answer I was receiving went against what the first
presidency was saying. I was reminded that I had already received my answer. And
then I received a very clear direction that I needed to speak out. But that
when I did, I needed to be very careful that I only said what the Spirit
directed me to.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So when the statement that I was confusingly at odds with
was posted on our ward and stake Relief Society Facebook pages, my heart
started pounding in my chest. That is the feeling I get when I am supposed to
bear my testimony in fast and testimony meetings. So I prayed and asked the
Lord if I was supposed to make a post about the statement – not encouraging
people to blatantly go against what the first presidency urged, but to let
people know that it’s okay if they felt the same way as me after reading it (confused?
Strange? Not feeling the Spirit like I normally do when I read things from the
general authorities?) – and we have the gift of the Holy Ghost for a reason –
to receive personal revelation and testimony about what our church leaders are
saying is true. But most importantly to receive personal revelation of what is
right and true for us as individuals (and also as families) to follow. I don’t
know who needed to read that post, or if it was a test for the Lord to see how
others in the ward and stake would respond (out of judgement or out of
Christlike love) – I don’t know why the Lord used me as a vessel to say what
the Spirit directed me to say. But I followed the direction I received from the
Spirit, just like I have always tried to do. And for those who think I was
calling people to become apostates, please read the official church policy
here:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">"Belief in prophets and apostles at the head of the
Church does not mean that members blindly follow their leaders. While the
prophet of God receives revelation and inspiration to guide the Church as a
whole, revelation flows at every level, including to the leaders of
congregations and to individual families and members. In fact, individual members
are expected to seek that kind of divine guidance to help them in their own
lives, in their responsibilities in the Church and even in temporal pursuits,
including their occupations. Members are also expected to prayerfully seek
their own “testimony” or conviction of the principles their leaders teach
them."(<a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/modern-prophets-and-continuing-revelation&source=gmail&ust=1629383526436000&usg=AFQjCNGjU-6upVnpFP-jddI9cYUmnUm5_g" href="https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/modern-prophets-and-continuing-revelation" target="_blank">https://newsroom.<wbr></wbr>churchofjesuschrist.org/<wbr></wbr>article/modern-prophets-and-<wbr></wbr>continuing-revelation</a>)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For those of you curious, here is the Facebook post:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Anyone else feel that there is something
different about this statement? It seems very politically correct and
surprisingly does not mention individual choice or God or Jesus Christ or
revelation or scripture or praying to receive guidance from the Holy Spirit –
just that we should trust in the arm of flesh (put our trust in medical
professionals and government officials who are human). Just an unexpected
observation.</span></i></p><i>
</i><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><i><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There are medical professionals in favor of
these things and medical professionals that are NOT in favor of these things
(the same goes for government officials) – so wouldn’t we use the Spirit to
help us know which “arm of flesh" (each who has his own experience, bias,
and free agency) - to trust? And shouldn’t we trust God first and foremost?
That is what we teach converts every day – pray and find out for yourself what
is right and true. And not surprisingly, what is right and true in this
circumstance may be different for each person – so we really have no reason to
judge anyone who may get a different answer and therefore make a different
choice about these things than we did. That is the beauty of the gospel of
Jesus Christ. I'm grateful that I have the gift of the Holy Ghost to guide me
in times like these.”</span></i></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I posted my observations, facts from the statement, and then
encouraged others who were also confused to use the Gift of the Holy Ghost to receive
personal revelation from God Himself. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And that is when the firestorm began. Quite honestly, I was
surprised at some of the responses that my post received. Definitely polarized,
definitely judging, definitely shaming. But also some thanking me, saying they
felt the same way. For some reason it had just rubbed them the wrong way too. I
wanted to reply to some of them, but I only ended up responding to one that
posted a link to a conference talk that has helped her over the past year – by
adding a link to a conference talk that has also been helpful to me recently
(scandalous, right?). Every other time I went to respond, the Spirit
constrained me, and I didn’t.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The post didn’t stay up very long (CENSORED!!) – so I’m
hoping that the purposes of the Lord were met before my post was deleted along
with all the comments. I’m guessing they thought that I was encouraging people
to commit apostasy instead of encouraging them to go the source (God the
Father) and ask for themselves – you, know, church policy? I don’t know why
they thought my post needed to be censored like everything else nowadays. As
far as I’m concerned, knowledge is power, and the more we can study and learn,
the more we can pray about to find out what is true – especially through the
guidance of the Spirit.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A young healthy father in his 30’s in my sister-in-law’s
ward had a stroke a few days after he got the vaccine. He died alone on the
floor in the church bathroom. Another church member found him. I don’t think
his family thinks that this vaccine is “safe and effective” – no matter what
some medical professionals and government officials say. And this man was
probably just trying to follow the prophet. So to the analogies I got on my
Facebook post that I needed to, like in Moses’ time, just have faith and look
to the serpent staff and live, I say – THIS MAN DID THAT, and he did not live
to tell about it. He had young children and a wife. He was in a leadership
position in his ward. He was doing everything “right.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is no “one size fits all” with vaccines, or even with
masks. There are thousands and thousands of vaccine injured children, and yet,
if vaccines are so “safe and effective,” why does the United States of America
still have one of the highest infant and child mortality rates? One of the
highest rates of SIDS? Childhood cancer? Autism? At the rate autism diagnosis
is increasing right now in the United States, they estimate 1 in every 2
children will be diagnosed with autism by the year 2030 – 50%! Why don’t you
see the same mortality rates, childhood cancer and autism rates, in less
developed countries that don’t give over 30 vaccines with chemicals and toxins
in them that if we as parents spoon fed our children – would send us to prison?
And contrary to popular belief, there has not been any long-term studies on
childhood vaccines either – and the makers of the vaccines have been given
immunity from providing restitution if you have an adverse reaction from them. Yes,
I’ve learned a lot over the last year, just by letting the Spirit guide my
research. I’m also no longer on the majority of my prescription medications, I’ve
lost 40 pounds, I feel healthier and younger, and my brain fog, and mental
health have improved immensely. Another testimony to me on how following the
Spirit for our personal health choices can bless our lives physically,
mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Olivia Sandor was accepted into BYU Hawaii and was planning
to attend this fall as a freshman. Her dreams were shattered in June when the
university decided that the experimental vaccine would be mandated for all
students this Fall (which violates the Nuremberg Code – including proper
informed consent and the ability to choose if you participate in an experiment
or not). Well Olivia had an adverse reaction to a flu vaccine as a teenager.
She was diagnosed with the autoimmune disease, Guillain Barre Syndrome (which
is a very common adverse reaction to vaccines) and was paralyzed from the waist
down. Through her faith, she believes she was miraculously healed after a long
recovery. But her medical doctors told her that she should not get the
experimental vaccine (or any other vaccine for that matter). If she did, it
could end in severe permanent paralysis or even death if the disease spread to
her heart. So she filled out a medical exemption form. And was denied. She and
her family appealed that decision. And she was denied again. She is literally
in the age group that is hardly affected by COVID – with a survivability rate
of over 99% (similar to her flu survivability rate), yet a medical exemption
(something the university had said was an option and easily accessible for
those who needed it) was denied. So this young woman has to decide between a
high possibility of severe paralysis or death and her college education? And
when they scare everyone into believing that vaccine mandates are the only way
we can all not die from a virus that has a 99.9% survivability rate by the
majority of the population – is this young woman never going to be able to buy
groceries for her family? Go to church? Travel to see her parents? Can you not
see the insanity? Because she doesn’t want to take something that can kill her?
Shouldn’t that be her choice and not the government’s? Or the church’s?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Again, there is no “one size fits all” with vaccines or
masks. I know someone with a lung disease, and her medical professionals told
her NOT to wear a mask during a respiratory virus pandemic. Why, you ask? Isn’t
she more at risk? Because she is more likely to die from bacterial pneumonia from
wearing a mask. You can’t force or mandate that everyone put something into
their body or put something over their mouth and nose without knowing their
individual circumstance. Can you not see how that is unethical? Saying that it
is okay for a few hundred or a few thousand or even a million to be paralyzed
or suffer neurological conditions or die from a stroke for the “greater good”?.
What if your child or grandchild, spouse, or parent or grandparent is one that had
to be “sacrificed” for the greater good? What if you were? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And now, can you see why praying and asking God Himself whether
this vaccine is safe and right for you is an individual decision, with the
advice of your medical professionals taken into consideration when you ask in
prayer? And that the answer and the choice you make after receiving that answer
shouldn’t be between anyone but you and the Lord? You can’t tell me it is “safe
and effective” for EVERYONE, or that if you follow the prophet you won’t have
an adverse reaction. I already know of one church member’s death after getting
the vaccine – from a blood clot – which is public record that the vaccines can
cause. But that doesn’t mean he is the only one. The media censors any
information that is contrary to their narrative. People and their vaccine
adverse reaction stories are being censored from social media and the mainstream
media. I have been following several stories of vaccine injury from this experimental
vaccine (from paralysis, Guillain Barre Syndrome, other auto immune disease,
blindness, Bells Palsy, miscarriage, seizures, rashes, to even death). I choose
to be informed and research what is going on around us. I choose to study the scriptures
that tell us that in the last days the world will be polarized, love will wax
cold, neighbor will turn against neighbor, that deceit and false prophets and
false-christs will surround us, and that when the Savior returns He will clean
his own house first (that means the church, which implies that there will be
corruption in the church and possibly even in our church leaders). I choose not
to live in that bubble that I used to think protected me, but was just
encouraging my naivety and my inability to learn and act on truth. I don’t want
to live my life in fear. I don’t want to lose all of my constitutional and
God-given rights, because once they take them away, it will only be through a
revolution that we get them back. Is that the world that we want to leave for
our children? The Lord prepared this great free nation that we live in for a
reason. He restored his church here – which has received great opposition since
the beginning. All because a young boy named Joseph was willing to question things
that his local church leaders were telling him. They didn’t sit well with him,
so he took it to the source – God, and asked in faith what was true. And he received
his answer.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And so can we.</p>

unconscious and woken up in an alternate reality where nothing makes sense anymore.
We are now teaching Critical Race Theory and gender fluidity in public schools
– not to mention now we have to have our children chanting to pagan gods (human
sacrifice!) in public school as well </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/03/california-curriculum-accuses-christians-of-theocide-encourages-chanting-to-pagan-gods/" target="_blank">https://www.nationalreview.com/2021/03/california-curriculum-accuses-christians-of-theocide-encourages-chanting-to-pagan-gods/</a></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">, so as to get away from white supremacy Christianity. And children as
young as 3 months old can now be racist <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://thepostmillennial.com/arizona-department-of-education-crafts-equity-toolkit-teaching-that-three-month-old-babies-are-racist">https://thepostmillennial.com/arizona-department-of-education-crafts-equity-toolkit-teaching-that-three-month-old-babies-are-racist</a></span>,
meaning there is no hope for the human race to ever work together and get
along. We also now have to call natural breast feeding chest feeding and
eliminate the “natural” to forgo the stigma of unnatural things (like vaccines
and GMO’s) and of course so we don’t offend those who can’t breast feed because
they are transgender or unable to breastfeed for some other reason (see my
previous post on the topic). And don’t get me started on why we are removing all
people of color from branded products, but we are leaving their white
counterparts. And of course we are banning books and cartoon characters too,
yet openly selling Satan shoes with human blood in them, encouraging sexual
acts in music videos that children watch, and ignoring pedophilia and child
sex-trafficking! And it turns out our second amendment rights were just a
suggestion by the Founding Fathers of the greatest free nation in the world,
because you know, needing to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government
could never happen (– and another bonus to being able to protect ourselves from
a tyrannical government – research studies have shown that when more
individuals own firearms in certain areas and know how to use them, crime goes
down in those areas!). And there is no crisis on our border with an influx of
illegal aliens that could be criminals, have “COVID” and are taking advantage
of the opportunity to traffic children and drugs into our country. And of
course, we are all going to die from a virus that has a 99% recovery rate by
the majority of the population, is treated most effectively by ANTI-PARASITIC (not
anti-viral) drugs (<b>Hydroxychloroquine</b></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16115318/" target="_blank">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16115318/</a></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">, </span>and here <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.ccjm.org/content/85/6/459" target="_blank">https://www.ccjm.org/content/85/6/459</a></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">, <b>Ivermectin</b> – study showed it was </span>80% effective!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-who-data-ivermectin-reduces-covid-mortality-by-81-also-who-we-still-dont-recommend-it" target="_blank">https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-who-data-ivermectin-reduces-covid-mortality-by-81-also-who-we-still-dont-recommend-it</a></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">, etc.), causing mandates to wear masks that professionals like
environmental hygienists (who testify in courts about masks and respirators)
say don’t protect against viruses – and can cause bacterial pneumonia (read Dr.
Fauci’s paper on how during the Spanish Flu bacterial pneumonia killed more
people than the flu itself</span>– they all wore masks - which we now know can CAUSE bacterial
pneumonia <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/198/7/962/2192118">https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/198/7/962/2192118</a></span>

that gives a less effective immunity than our own natural immune system – oh,
and includes mRNA, which makes you genetically modified – you know, like the
genetically modified food we now know is unhealthy for us and try to avoid –

here? And the mainstream media won’t report on these things. Why? Well, it may
have something to do with the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act signed by Obama in
2012. It specifically gives our press (news and media) the right to force-feed
us PROPAGANDA (gaslighting!), something that they were only allowed to do to foreign countries
before then. Who controls the propaganda? The state department? Public affairs
department? Does it matter? The media is paid (by who and which agenda?) to
report propaganda now, and we are reaping the benefits of the lies. Here is a
video that shows how our “independent” and “free” press news stations are all
scripted and controlled: </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://rumble.com/vb9va9-your-independent-local-news-media.html" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/vb9va9-your-independent-local-news-media.html</a></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">. Did you know that ALL the media stations are owned by only a handful of
corporations? And who do you think owns or donates money and pushes agendas
through them? Here’s a history lesson on Operation Mockingbird -<b>our own
government</b> trying to control the minds and thoughts of individuals – their
own citizens <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://schoolhistory.co.uk/notes/operation-mockingbird/">https://schoolhistory.co.uk/notes/operation-mockingbird/</a></span>.
And here is a journalist that talks about censorship and propaganda today
including fake fact checkers <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0_2i1EUYyg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0_2i1EUYyg</a></span>.

Ever heard of gaslighting? I suggest you research that too. It is a very common
abuse tactic that is currently being used on the American people by their own
government and “free press.” An article in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Psychology
Today</i> says “</span>Anyone is susceptible to gaslighting, and it is a common
technique of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">abusers</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">dictators</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">narcissists</b>, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">cult
leaders</b>” <a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/here-there-and-everywhere/201701/11-warning-signs-gaslighting">https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/here-there-and-everywhere/201701/11-warning-signs-gaslighting</a>.<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

anymore. How do you think they have convinced our entire nation that a virus
with such a high recovery rate (similar to the flu!) is going to end the
world? Fearmongering at its best. Our “Free Press” is no longer free. Haven’t
you noticed the obvious bias and censoring of any ideas or coverage of truth
that goes against their current narrative? COVID = DOOM AND GLOOM! Here is a
good explanation about the Smith-Mundt Modernization Act: </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/the-smith-mundt-modernization-act-of-2012/279881">https://fromthetrenchesworldreport.com/the-smith-mundt-modernization-act-of-2012/279881</a></span>.
And here is the actual bill: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736" target="_blank">https://www.congress.gov/bill/112th-congress/house-bill/5736</a></span>.
And here is the latest emotion-filled propaganda with the intention to continue
the fear-mongering so they can continue their control on us as individuals,
families, countries and the world:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/29/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html">https://www.cnn.com/2021/03/29/health/us-coronavirus-monday/index.html</a></span>
. </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So how do we know what is really going
on? It takes time, personal research and guidance by the Holy Spirit who
testifies of <b>truth</b>. AND WE ARE SURROUNDED BY CHAOS on purpose – which makes it
so difficult to find and filter information, or to even have the energy to
search for it! I<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;"> have personally been listening to
independent journalists, podcasters, concerned citizens that are paying
attention, and of course, professionals who have been censored by the mainstream
media like doctors, surgeons, virologists, environmental hygienists and other patriotic
Americans. Big tech is out – even their privately paid “fact checkers” are
allowed to spread lies. If you are the one spreading the lie, all you have to
do is hire and pay fact checkers to confirm the lie as truth (</span>“Make the
lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”
- Adolf Hitler.)<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">. And Google censors information that you
search for on its search engine – you will have a hard time finding links to
the truth versus the propaganda lies that through algorithms are pushed to the
front of your search results. I’ve been using independent search engines like <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.duckduckgo.com">https://www.duckduckgo.com</a></span>
which not only brings up BOTH sides (you have to filter through the truth and
the lies – but at least the truth is there), but it also doesn’t track you like
Google does. This talks about a US House committee meeting where they TELL big
tech and social media that they should censor us even more! </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://energycommerce.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/hearing-on-disinformation-nation-social-medias-role-in-promoting" target="_blank">https://energycommerce.house.gov/committee-activity/hearings/hearing-on-disinformation-nation-social-medias-role-in-promoting</a></span>.
Still feel like they have your best interest in mind? That they want to give
you unbiased and unfabricated facts and information so you can decide for
yourself what is truth and what is right for you and your family? Or do they
want to take that ability to decide away from you? Remember the reason why God
gave us free agency? And why the adversary wanted to force us to do what we
were told instead – removing that free agency? Can you see what is happening
here?</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Tell me how any of this
makes logical sense. Band members have to make a slit in their mask so they can
bring their instrument to their mouths – making their masks, and the
moisturized air particles coming out of their instruments super safe. High
school football players have to wear a mask under their helmet, and cut a slit
in it so they can put their mouth guard in. You have to wear a mask to walk
into a restaurant, but as soon as you sit down you can take your mask off to
talk and eat – and you have to social distance in the line, but as soon as you
sit at the table you can sit right next to the friend you are eating with-
with no mask on. In airports you have to stand 6 feet apart while in the
airport, but can sit right next to everyone on the airplane. There is Plexiglas
blocking the same cashier that is allowed to touch and breathe on all the food
that you then take home and touch yourself – and the Plexiglas stops where the
credit card machine is – so any vapor particles can slide right on past at that
point, but not when they are ringing up all your purchases. Oh, and
professional athletes don’t have to wear masks, because they have super powers
against COVID, but children have to limit their oxygen intake when they are
running and playing sports – even though children have the LOWEST infection
rate from the virus. What about banks limiting how much of your money you can
take out “because of COVID?” I’m sorry, can <b>my</b> money get sick too? I’m
sure I could keep going! My previous blog post talks about some of this. We
have been comfortable for so long, trusting the organizations that are supposed
to help and protect us instead of being active critical thinkers and protectors
of our own selves and family members and country (for the people by the
people!). I get it though. Doing your own research takes time and effort –
which nobody has right now because of all the forced chaos in our lives. It is
so much easier to let someone else “take care” of us and tell us what to do rather
than take care of ourselves and the complex web of confusion they have placed
there for us to sift through, not to mention all of the distractions! </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

But then
again, here I am, writing about it.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">I have been praying
regularly for months now for insight, peace, hope, understanding and direction.
I’ve mentioned in previous posts how I have received personal revelation that I
can use this blog to share truth and light. So here I am. The other night I was
reading Matthew 24:24, “For there shall arise <b>false Christs</b>, and <b>false
prophets</b>, and shall shew great signs and wonders: insomuch that, if it were
possible, they shall <b>deceive the very elect</b>.” The JST translation adds
this to the end of that verse: “who are the <u>elect according to the covenant</u>.”
So imagine my shock when I read that scripture and a certain person’s image with
a very prominent and public “medical authority” very clearly came to my mind. Then
several someones that are all connected – <b>falsely prophesying</b> of doom
and gloom over a simple virus, and then conveniently offering salvation through
a Godless EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” that modifies the human DNA that God gave us,
also making them <b>false Christs</b> because they are offering us false
salvation through that vaccine. It hit me like a ton of bricks and made a lot
of my thoughts come together in an epiphany sort of way. </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">Then I read Revelation
18:23-24, “And the light of a candle shall shine no more at all in thee; and the
voice of the bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee:
<b>for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; <u>for by thy sorceries
were all nations deceived</u></b>. And in her was found the <b>blood of prophets, and of saints</b>, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Merchants (big tech, billionaires,
governments)? Sorceries? Did you know that the root word of sorcery is the same
for pharma (pharmaceutical, pharmacy) and comes from the Greek word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pharmakeia</i> which is used to mean drugs,
administering drugs, poisoning, <b>sorcery</b>, enchantment and magical arts??
So big merchants by their sorceries, will deceive all nations? Hmmmm. Does the
EXPERIMENTAL mRNA “vaccine” that big tech, big pharma, private organizations
and governments that are connected to this multi-billion dollar industry are
vigorously pushing come to mind? And I’ve seen the video of Bill Gates talking
with a government agency about how vaccines can be used to remove the “God”
gene – or the ability for people to feel the Holy Spirit (“the voice of the
bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at all in thee”) <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/Gapgl_Hw6Jk">https://youtu.be/Gapgl_Hw6Jk</a></span>.
Yes, the same Bill Gates that has advocated for reducing the world population
through reproductive health services (abortions) and vaccines and healthcare (I
thought vaccines and healthcare were supposed to save lives, not reduce population!?) <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/wfstBe1buaA">https://youtu.be/wfstBe1buaA</a></span>,
has a huge stake in the WHO and CDC and has been pushing vaccines worldwide for
years – and is also connected to unethical vaccine scandals that the mainstream
media doesn’t ever cover <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/healthcare/biotech/healthcare/controversial-vaccine-studies-why-is-bill-melinda-gates-foundation-under-fire-from-critics-in-india/articleshow/41280050.cms">https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/healthcare/biotech/healthcare/controversial-vaccine-studies-why-is-bill-melinda-gates-foundation-under-fire-from-critics-in-india/articleshow/41280050.cms</a></span>?
And yes, he is also connected to the EXPERIMENTAL COVID “vaccine.” If there is
even a speck of doubt in your mind, isn’t your life, your children’s lives and
everyone’s future worth looking into it? Are there good pharmaceutical
products? I believe there are, but can we trust that they all are, especially
when rushed and forced upon people – especially the vulnerable - because of a
false and inflated doom and gloom narrative?</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">We are in the last days. And
these scriptures are being fulfilled in more ways than one. In D&C 8:1-3 it
says, “Yea, behold I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy
Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart. Now,
behold, this is the spirit of revelation.” When did we start blindly following
what we are told without seeking the confirmation of the Holy Spirit? Have we
been conditioned to obey and follow “authority” for so long that we’ve
forgotten that even “authorities,” whether church leaders or medical or science
professionals are also human and therefore subject to bias, poor decision
making, bribes and threats? Have we forgotten that Jesus Christ was the only
perfect person to ever walk the earth, which means everyone else is imperfect
and subject to making mistakes? </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-outline-level: 1;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">After my research and
personal revelation, I no longer believe that we can sit on the couch and expect
everyone else to fix what is going on around us. Our need to act has been here
for a while now, but unfortunately only some of us have been awakened to the
sleep that we have been in. We’ve been warned that even the elect will be
deceived, and for members of the church, “the elect according to the covenant” may have a deeper meaning to you,
especially if you have made covenants with God. Is it possible that so many of
us have already been deceived, and continue to be deceived?</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Elder
Gary B. Sabin in an April 2017 general conference talk said, “We stand up
inside when we defend the truth against a wicked and secular world that is
becoming increasingly more uncomfortable with light, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">calling evil good and good evil</b> (Isaiah 5:20) and “condemning the
righteous because of their righteousness (Helaman 7:5).” Standing up inside in
spite of difficulties is possible because of a clear conscience, the
strengthening and comforting assurance from the Holy Ghost, and an eternal
perspective which surpasses mortal understanding. In our premortal life we
shouted for joy at the opportunity to experience mortality. We were “all in” as
we excitedly made the decision to be valiant defenders of our Heavenly Father’s
plan. It is time to stand up and defend His plan again!”</span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">So let’s get to the nitty gritty, shall we? I’ve been
blogging for a few months now, but I have been hesitant about posting where I
have been finding all of my information because I believe that if you don’t
search out some things for yourself, then you will not be ready for the truth
that information gives you (and trust me, for someone who used to trust
everyone and everything – it is a LOT to process and it takes a toll). We are
not converted to the gospel by other people telling us it is true. We are
converted by the Holy Spirit when our hearts and minds are open, when we seek truth
out, and when our will and the Lord’s will merge. But I feel a sense of urgency that the time has come
to show my friends and family how much information the mainstream media is
withholding from us, and how it is negatively impacting our society. And if
that makes me a conspiracy theorist, then so be it. If you remember correctly,
everyone thought Noah was a conspiracy theorist until it started to rain (see
one of my previous posts about who created the term “conspiracy theorist” and
why). But that didn’t stop him from following through with his personal
revelation and ultimately saving those who he was directed to save from the
flood. And unfortunately once you learn the truth, there is no going back. You
cannot ignore it anymore. But wouldn’t you rather be on the side of truth?</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">I’ve been working on this blog project for weeks, and it is
nowhere as comprehensive as I would like it to be – once you start searching,
there is SO MUCH information out there to find - but at least it will scratch
the surface and wet your feet if you have not had any of this on your radar
thus far (you can also read my previous blog posts too). Which is okay, because
it wasn’t on my radar until recently either. But we have to start where we are
and move forward. So please be patient as I try to delve a little deeper for
you and help you to see what has been hidden from us not only as a country, but
as a world. And please note that because censorship is so rampant right now –
the true plague – I apologize if the content from a link has been removed
before you are able to see it. If you let me know which link(s), I will try to
find an alternate one for you on the same topic. And I would have loved to have been able to make this post a little more reader-friendly by embedding the links in the text. But I feel the message is urgent and I don't have time right now in my busy schedule to make things look pretty. So here we go...<br /></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">We’ve been under siege for over a year now and I’ve made
some interesting connections. Is it a coincidence that right before a major
election year, where one of the candidates and his son has been proven to have
ties with China, that a major pandemic was released “supposedly” from a lab in
China that was doing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">gain of function</b>
testing (with US tax dollars provided by Fauci) on corona viruses? Is it a
coincidence that the aforementioned election was completely and in many
instances illegally changed in the name of the pandemic (and now we are seeing
TONS of evidence of election fraud - that you won’t see in the mainstream
media)? Is it a coincidence that our freedoms have been restricted in the name
of this same pandemic (kind of like communist China)? Is it a coincidence that
the majority of our masks and COVID testing kits come from China? And that some
of the vaccines are manufactured in China? Do you see a common theme of….China?
Here is a website that has several articles and links of how China is linked to
America <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://timetofreeamerica.com/chinese-invasion/#scroll-content">https://timetofreeamerica.com/chinese-invasion/#scroll-content</a></span>.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>PROPAGANDA</u></b></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Unfortunately the COVID-19 pandemic has altered our society
in more ways than a virus that is 99% recoverable by the majority of the
population should have. Can the symptoms be difficult? Yes. Can people die from
it? Yes. But people also suffer and die from cancer, child birth, and other
natural processes that are synonymous with life, and living (everything has
risk!). As soon as we are born we have a death sentence attached to us because
at some point our mortal body will die. Remember when you would go to the
doctor when you were sick and they would tell you that you have a viral
infection – and that you just had to let it run its course? Yeah. Like the flu.
Which people can also suffer and die from, especially when there are
comorbidities involved. So why is a virus with a 99% recovery rate by the
majority of the population – similar to the flu – different? And why has
everything else changed around THIS virus? Why are we in a panic about it? If
you had no access to the mainstream media or television, would you even know we
were in the middle of a pandemic? They were the ones that sounded the alarm.
They are the ones reporting the numbers. They are the ones demanding we wear
masks and restrict our freedoms. But it is interesting that as soon as we do
what they tell us to do, they add another restriction? First it was don’t wear
a mask. Then it was wear a mask! Then it was we need to social distance (6
feet! Because tiny air droplets that carry moisture and COVID disappear from
the air after 6 feet! – and now only 3 feet for children!) and do contact
tracing (who have you been in contact with – no privacy!). Then it was we need
to close our small businesses (because COVID avoids large chain stores like
Walmart and Costco, right?). And then it was only “essential” workers can go to
work because we need to LOCK DOWN (who decides who is essential enough to
provide for their family?). And now we have to wear 2 masks! And even after we
did all of those things – because they all worked so well – we now have to get
an EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” that doesn’t guarantee immunity, may lessen the
symptoms, but you can still get it and spread it to those around you - to
protect everyone else around us. Wait, what? Doesn’t guarantee immunity but we
need to take it to protect everyone’s grandmas? How does that make sense? And now
we need to get this EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” to be able to travel and buy
groceries. BUT WHAT ABOUT THOSE who have had COVID and have recovered and have
a NATURAL IMMUNITY? Nope, doesn’t count toward herd immunity. Those people
don’t get privileges. They will however ask those people to donate their plasma
to help those fighting the virus. So wait, do those with natural immunity’s
antibodies work or not?? Do you see the trend? Not only confusion, but they are
slowly removing more and more freedoms in the name of our health and safety,
with no results (or common sense) for our efforts. Because the NUMBERS keep
increasing!! But would it be any different than the flu if everyone and their
brother wasn’t getting tested every other week even if they don’t have symptoms
(or twice a week!) because we’ve been conditioned by the mainstream media to
believe we need to be? If everyone during flu season had to be tested twice a
week – whether they had symptoms or not – with the testing equipment we have
been using (seem more on that below), we would have pandemic level flu cases as
well. The more you test – the more “numbers” you will have – especially with
now proven faulty PCR testing (see below). </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Whether you believe it or not, our constitutional rights
have been infringed upon. And I’m not just talking about freedom of speech and
how thousands of doctors and scientists have been censored from mainstream
media and social media, but our right to assemble peacefully and to worship at
church, our right to work to provide for our families. But it has all been done
because every single one of those freedom restrictions was backed up by science,
right? The flip-flopping, changes every day, “science” that Fauci has been
pushing. Here is a quote my professor had on one of the very first slides in my
graduate research methods class this year, “<b>Science is not a magic wand that
turns everything it touches to truth</b>. Instead, “science operates as a procedure
of uncertainty reduction,” said Nosek, of the <span class="MsoHyperlink"><span color="windowtext"><a href="http://centerforopenscience.org/"><span color="windowtext">Center for Open Science</span></a></span></span>. “The

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The World Health Organization, is a self-made organization
(a private business!) with donors (US tax dollars and The Bill and Melinda
Gates Foundation to name a few - follow the money!) that keep its programs
running. There is no oversight for this organization and the regional directors
are elected by the member states that are hand-picked to participate. From
their website, “All countries which are <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Members of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">United Nations</b> may become members of WHO by accepting its
Constitution.” What is in their constitution you might ask? From their website,
“</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Governments</b> have a
responsibility for the health of their peoples which can be fulfilled only by
the provision of adequate health and social measures.” Social measures is
another word for mandates and legal policies. I’m sorry, I don’t remember
telling my government or a self-made world organization that is funded by
billionaires and countries that have their own agendas, that they have the
right to make private and personal health mandates, policies, and decisions for
me or my family. Did you? Whatever happened to the clever political slogan, “my
body my choice?” I guess that only works when it fits the right agenda. But it
goes on… “<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Other
countries may be admitted as members when their application has been approved
by a simple majority vote of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">World

Iran. China, who is known for their CURRENT concentration camps and genocide on
the Uyghur and Christians (anyone who worships anyone or thing instead of
China) – their own citizens. Yet Taiwan is not allowed to join the WHO. Why? Could
it be because they don’t align with China? In fact, here is a video where a WHO
representative ignores Taiwan’s question about them joining the
organization:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/WWXwwMcQAqLn/">https://www.bitchute.com/video/WWXwwMcQAqLn/</a></span></span><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.

So if communist China has such a political influence over the WHO, are we sure
we want to align with them and their communist and genocidal policies? Here is

ask, who is the self-proclaimed World Health Assembly that has no checks and
balances and no requirements for medical training to participate in because it
is politically based that can approve the applications of countries that want to

determine the policies of the Organization, appoint the Director-General,
supervise financial policies, and review and approve the proposed programme
budget.” Again, who are these people that think they have the right to push
their health agenda on individuals who have rights to make health choices for
themselves? <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://securetherepublic.com/arkansas/2020/06/15/how-the-un-who-soros-fauci-and-gates-set-the-stage-and-captured-the-world/">https://securetherepublic.com/arkansas/2020/06/15/how-the-un-who-soros-fauci-and-gates-set-the-stage-and-captured-the-world/</a></span>. If they declared that abortion was healthy and necessary for global health –
because each family could only have one child, would we continue to align with
them? If they insisted that everyone on the planet needed a global vaccine
passport – and had the power to force everyone to be vaccinated whether or not
they wanted to be, whether or not they have had a negative reaction to a
vaccine in the past before, whether or not it is an EXPERIMENTAL "vaccine"

They are also the ones that have also been pushing global warming (now climate

totalitarian one-world government under the guise of peace, health and global
sustainability for all - how everyone will be taken care of, all have the same
income, and only eat meat as a treat every once in a while when they permit it.
Sounds great, right? But who would lead the new “world?” Certainly not anyone
from a free election, because you would no longer have freedoms. You and your
children would be owned by the new world government (in fact they could tell
you that you can’t have any children because you don’t have the proper genetic
material to pass on!), forced to work where they want you to work, and forced
to receive the rations that they want you to receive. NO freedom of speech, NO

DEFINITION</span></u></b></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">After extensive research, I also found out that COVID didn’t
even qualify as a pandemic under the old pandemic definition. They changed it
to go along with their fear-mongering narrative in regards to the Swine Flu in
2009 <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/03/22/who-pandemic-definition.aspx" target="_blank">https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2021/03/22/who-pandemic-definition.aspx</a></span>.
It no longer contains the “severity of illness” clause, which made it easier to
qualify milder flus as a pandemic, which aided <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">pharmaceutical vaccine companies</b> who would only get sales from
country’s governments if the pandemic status was elevated to a higher level –
which is easier to do if you don’t have to take “severity of illness” into
account. And the WHO can do whatever they want, because they are the world’s
health “authority” with no requirement that its decision makers have medical
experience or degrees, moral values, and no open transparency or checks and
balances with regard to United States standards <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/f_aBgV-q678">https://youtu.be/f_aBgV-q678</a></span>.
And they tried to push an EXPERIMENTAL vaccine for the Swine Flu too, remember <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.history.com/news/swine-flu-rush-vaccine-election-year-1976">https://www.history.com/news/swine-flu-rush-vaccine-election-year-1976</a></span>?
That fiasco also happened during a presidential election year, panic was
spurred by the mainstream media (<i>The</i> <i>New York Times</i> <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1976/02/20/archives/us-calls-flu-alert-on-possible-return-of-epidemics-virus-us-flu.html" target="_blank">reported on its front page</a></span> that the “virus that
caused the greatest world epidemic of influenza in modern history—the pandemic
of 1918-19—may have returned.”), and was pushed by the CDC and an advertising
campaign. Sound familiar?? They pulled the experimental Swine Flu vaccine after
about 300 deaths. Have you seen how many COVID EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” related deaths
have been reported to VAERS since its roll-out? Last I checked it was over 2,000
(which the WHO denies). And they estimate only 10% of adverse reactions are actually
reported on VAERS. WHY HAVE THEY NOT STOPPED THIS? And why have they approved
it for pregnant women and now children? They can’t say it is safe and effective
for children who have a ridiculously minute chance of getting it, just because
no one in their small pilot study got COVID after their vaccine (their chance
of getting it in the first place is so small!). What if down the road we find
out that it sterilizes children? Stunts their growth? Alters their DNA in ways
that can’t be repaired? THERE WERE NO ANIMAL TRIALS – those who take it are the
guinea pigs! Why is this insanity being pushed and even forced in some
countries?</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">From their website, “CDC is the nation’s leading <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">science-based</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">data-driven</b>, service organization that protects the public’s
health… With this strategic framework, CDC commits to save American lives by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">securing global health</b> and America’s
preparedness, eliminating disease, and ending epidemics.” So there you have it.
They are science-based and data-driven (another private business – follow the
money!). And by the way, they are also determined to “secure <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">global </b>health.” Sound familiar? Is it
any wonder the CDC and WHO are closely working together? They are both working
toward AND pushing a global agenda. But they are following the science, right?
The data? </span>The CDC website states that “The Federal Advisory Committee Act
(P.L. 92-463) provides a mechanism for experts and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">stakeholders </b>(<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">with donors listed on their website from big pharma and big tech –
who is profiting off of this pandemic? F</span>ollow the money!) to participate
in the decision-making process, offering advice and recommendations to the
federal government as members of advisory committees.” But there is no mention
of who these particular stakeholders are, if they are lobbying big pharma
representatives who would have a conflict of interest, or billionaires like Bill
Gates who do not hold medical degrees but who openly advocate for population
reduction, or others who can lobby and/or bribe to get what they want. Is it
that far-fetched to see how quickly an organization with so much power can
over-step? But why the “flip-flopping” science? And trust in the organization
is waning because of these “flip-flops” on mask wearing, social distancing,
lockdowns, vaccines and school closures. And don’t tell me that science changes
and they were doing the best they could in an emergency situation. This is what
they do. This is what they are experts in. And based on all of the links in
this blog post – clearly they are NOT following all the science and data – but
only the science and data that supports their narrative at a certain time <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.westernjournal.com/experts-cdc-flip-flops-covid-several-times-one-week/">https://www.westernjournal.com/experts-cdc-flip-flops-covid-several-times-one-week/</a></span>

And another, from September 2020 (6 months into the “pandemic”) where the CDC
changed its mind about (decided it WASN’T) and the WHO still hadn’t determined
if it was airborne or not yet. BUT ALL OF THE POLICIES THEY WERE PUSHING
assumed that it was <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/coronavirus-airborne-in-aerosols-cdc-says_n_5f689b89c5b6480e8972428d">https://www.huffpost.com/entry/coronavirus-airborne-in-aerosols-cdc-says_n_5f689b89c5b6480e8972428d</a></span>.
Why did it take the CDC 6 months to figure this out? And why did the WHO still
“not know?”</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Here is another article about how the CDC has reversed its
stand on overly cleaning/sterilizing to prevent the virus and how the intense
disinfectants are doing us more harm. Really? <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cdc-relaxed-cleaning-rules-disinfectants-for-covid-19-not-necessary-2021-4?op=1">https://www.businessinsider.com/cdc-relaxed-cleaning-rules-disinfectants-for-covid-19-not-necessary-2021-4?op=1</a></span>.
I’ve been saying this for a long time now. Our immune systems need to be
exposed to viruses and bacteria so that it can strengthen its immune response.
Why do you think all the kids that have been locked up and masked and sanitized
for a year are getting every illness under the sun now that they are opening up
schools and daycares? We’ve been starving our natural immune systems and making
them and our lives (and our children’s lives) vulnerable. </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Is it any wonder that there is a huge connection between our
medical field and big pharma? They both profit off of each other! Isn’t this a
conflict of interest? Arnold Relman, a former editor of the New England Journal
of Medicine said this, “The medical profession is being bought by the
pharmaceutical industry, not only in terms of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">practice of medicine</b>, but also in terms of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">teaching and research</b>. The academic institutions of this country
are allowing themselves to be the paid agents of the pharmaceutical industry. I
think it’s disgraceful.” Here is an article about this conflict of interest <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1126053/">https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1126053/</a>.

and the test that would be able to detect the virus.That makes it pretty
impossible to verify the actual virus, without infringing upon their patent
(only they can study the virus and create a diagnostic kit) or having them
verify it with you. But that is the point, isn’t it? Watch here: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/NJhAOETXlNw">https://youtu.be/NJhAOETXlNw</a></span>

In fact, doctors and scientists around the world have said that they haven’t
even been able to isolate the SARS COV2 virus in a lab. What does that mean?
And other scientists have taken positive COVID-19 tests and examined them
further in a lab only to find that they all tested positive for Influenza A and

US10130701B2, US7279327B2, US7618802B2, US7776521B1, which is interesting,

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">We keep hearing numbers of
cases, numbers of hospitalizations and death rates, which all sound pretty
scary when they are in the thousands. But are the numbers accuate? Here is an
article that shows “</span>CDC <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">illegally
inflated</b> the COVID fatality number by at least 1,600 percent as the 2020
presidential election played out, according to a study published by the Public
Health Initiative of the Institute for Pure and Applied Knowledge. The study,
“COVID-19 Data Collection, Comorbidity & Federal Law: A Historical
Retrospective,” was authored by Henry Ealy, Michael McEvoy, Daniel Chong, John
Nowicki , Monica Sava, Sandeep Gupta, David White, James Jordan , Daniel Simon,
and Paul Anderson.<b> (</b><span class="MsoHyperlink"><b><a href="https://jdfor2020.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/adf864_165a103206974fdbb14ada6bf8af1541.pdf">READ

a video of the Illinois health director publicly explaining what constitutes a
COVID death: </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/Ls57z3RXcOc" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Ls57z3RXcOc</a></span>
(you can die of a car accident, but if you test positive for COVID after you
die in that car accident, they can count you as a COVID death). Tell me how
this doesn’t inflate the numbers and the panic?? <span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">And what do national death rates really mean? Here is Dr. Scott Jensen
explaining both case inflation and death falsification to increase fear <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/BQWuOUuDKHWs/">https://www.bitchute.com/video/BQWuOUuDKHWs/</a></span>.
And here is an article from a few years ago on the census website that explains
that because more of our population are aging, our death rates are expected to
increase anyways, “a historic increase.” <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2017/10/aging-boomers-deaths.html">https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2017/10/aging-boomers-deaths.html</a></span>.
So are COVID deaths really contributing to a significant increase in death
patterns? If nothing else, the “science” and “data” are confusing. Do you think
that could be purposeful? And the CDC even admitted that only 6% of coronavirus
deaths were solely linked to COVID <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.theblaze.com/news/covid-deaths-percent-coronavirus-cdc">https://www.theblaze.com/news/covid-deaths-percent-coronavirus-cdc</a></span>
and <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Comorbidities">https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Comorbidities</a></span>.
What does that mean? That means exactly what the Illinois health director
explained. If someone was dying of cancer and they just happened to get COVID
before they died, even though they died from cancer, they counted it as a COVID
death (hospitals get thousands in federal aid kickbacks for every COVID
positive test AND death – follow the money!). </span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;">And finally, here is a closer
look at the actual CDC data anylized by<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>the assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree
program at John’s Hopkins. The article states, “After retrieving data on the
CDC website, Briand compiled a graph representing percentages of total deaths
per age category from early February to early September, which includes the
period from before COVID-19 was detected in the U.S. to after infection rates
soared. Surprisingly, the deaths of older people stayed the same before
and after COVID-19. Since COVID-19 mainly affects the elderly, experts expected
an increase in the percentage of deaths in older age groups. However, this
increase is not seen from the CDC data. In fact, the percentages of deaths
among all age groups remain relatively the same.” <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20201126043553/https:/www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19">https://web.archive.org/web/20201126043553/https://www.jhunewsletter.com/article/2020/11/a-closer-look-at-u-s-deaths-due-to-covid-19</a></span>.
It’s all about the numbers. And did you know that the WHO determines what
causes of death are labeled as? </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/mortality-technical-notes.htm">https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/mortality-technical-notes.htm</a></span></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><u>POSITIVE CASE
NUMBER INFLATION</u></b></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The CDC actually acknowledged at a House hearing last year that
hospitals receive kick-backs for reporting COVID positive cases <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.christianpost.com/news/cdc-director-agrees-that-hospitals-have-monetary-incentive-to-inflate-covid-19-data.html">https://www.christianpost.com/news/cdc-director-agrees-that-hospitals-have-monetary-incentive-to-inflate-covid-19-data.html</a></span>.
So that’s not a monetary incentive to inflate the numbers, right? And doctors
have confirmed this <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://fee.org/articles/physicians-say-hospitals-are-pressuring-er-docs-to-list-covid-19-on-death-certificates-here-s-why/">https://fee.org/articles/physicians-say-hospitals-are-pressuring-er-docs-to-list-covid-19-on-death-certificates-here-s-why/</a></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s look at how we get our COVID positive
test numbers in the first place. From PCR tests. But hold on, we now know that
PCR tests that have been driving our "numbers" have a 95% false
positive rate because the cycle thresholds have been calibrated too high. Here
is the statement by the WHO: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-2021-who-information-notice-for-ivd-users-2020-05">https://www.who.int/news/item/20-01-2021-who-information-notice-for-ivd-users-2020-05</a></span>.
And the MIQE guidelines for PCR use says that “Cq values higher than 40 are
suspect because of the implied low efficiency and generally should not be
reported,” <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.gene-quantification.de/miqe-bustin-et-al-clin-chem-2009.pdf">https://www.gene-quantification.de/miqe-bustin-et-al-clin-chem-2009.pdf</a></span>.
Fauci himself confirmed this saying that at cycle thresholds over 35, tests
could be invalid: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/a_Vy6fgaBPE">https://youtu.be/a_Vy6fgaBPE</a></span>. YET
MOST COVID PCR TESTS ARE SET TO A 40 CYCLE THRESHOLD. And here is the statement
by the FDA; <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/letters-health-care-providers/potential-false-positive-results-antigen-tests-rapid-detection-sars-cov-2-letter-clinical-laboratory">https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/letters-health-care-providers/potential-false-positive-results-antigen-tests-rapid-detection-sars-cov-2-letter-clinical-laboratory</a></span>.
The problem with using PCR tests to diagnose a particular virus is that it can
locate live <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">AND</b> dead virus parts. So
if your immune system has already killed the virus, the PCR test can still say
you are positive because it has found pieces of the dead virus in you. This
professor at Columbia University says that he tested positive with a 34.7 cycle
threshold (CT), but that he is not worried about it: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/Lk64Zwcj3W8">https://youtu.be/Lk64Zwcj3W8</a></span>.
But wait a minute. Remember the scientists that say we can’t even isolate the
complete virus, that those being told they are positive for COVID are actually
positive for Influenza? Even the inventor of PCR openly states that PCR was
never intended to be a diagnostic test for viruses or to tell you if you are
sick or not – because it is not reliable: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/jTRk7pyGOBU">https://youtu.be/jTRk7pyGOBU</a></span>.
And he also has some interesting words about Fauci and the CDC for actions they
took during the HIV outbreak: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://odysee.com/@Dryburgh:7/kary-mullis-pcr-anthony-fauci:b?src=open&r=FK4LfE3kq2QAbgu76DE67BEpPTacGNmm">https://odysee.com/@Dryburgh:7/kary-mullis-pcr-anthony-fauci:b?src=open&r=FK4LfE3kq2QAbgu76DE67BEpPTacGNmm</a></span>.
</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">So what are these tests that should not be used for
diagnosing viruses even testing for? And on top of that, even the WHO knew about
the false positives from the PCR tests, yet didn’t make a statement about it
until way into the “pandemic” – and of course AFTER the vaccine companies had
made great headway with their new products. Why didn’t they say anything
sooner?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://headlinehealth.com/fauci-fda-who-all-now-admit-false-positive-pcr-tests/">https://headlinehealth.com/fauci-fda-who-all-now-admit-false-positive-pcr-tests/</a></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://principia-scientific.com/who-admits-high-cycle-pcr-tests-produce-covid-false-positives/">https://principia-scientific.com/who-admits-high-cycle-pcr-tests-produce-covid-false-positives/</a></span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://off-guardian.org/2020/12/18/who-finally-admits-pcr-tests-create-false-positives/">https://off-guardian.org/2020/12/18/who-finally-admits-pcr-tests-create-false-positives/</a></span>.

Are you getting tired of the web of lies and deceptions and power trips? Who
doesn’t have an agenda out there, and how can we know who to trust that isn’t
paid for by someone that is trying to push an agenda? Which I think is why most
of us have been “asleep” for so long. It is easier to ignore the evil in the
world than to acknowledge it and have to do something about it.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">So can we even trust the CDC “data” and “numbers” which we
now know are inflated with false positives? That were maybe intentionally
inflated with false positives? The CDC and the WHO should have known better –
DID KNOW BETTER – yet allowed these tests to be done and continue to be done
around the world, inflating COVID positive cases which inflates the panic and
fear. Can we even base decisions on the numbers if they do not accurately
represent the actual cases in the world, our countries, states, counties and
cities (COVID testing fraud uncovered: <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://thehighwire.com/videos/covid-testing-fraud-uncovered/">https://thehighwire.com/videos/covid-testing-fraud-uncovered/</a></span>)?</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

that have a global agenda, right? I mean, no government or people in powerful
positions have ever taken advantage of the people they are supposed to protect
and keep safe, right? But wait… The U.S. Public Health Service <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">unethically experimented</b> on 600 black

several people involved. And most of these projects were found out about by the
American people after the fact. Yet some of these doctors and researchers

is tested for by tests that are not accurate and that have inflated the
numbers, and whose deaths are reported in a way that we can’t tell a difference

And here is another article written about a few vaccine scandals in India. One
where the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was accused of knowingly using a
vulnerable young population without getting parent consent and without knowing
the safety or efficacy of the vaccine – but telling them that it was safe and
that there were no adverse reactions, falsifying records, adverse effects
including several deaths were covered up, and that they paid scientist to
exaggerate the need for the vaccine. There are also accusations of foul-play
with vaccines in Africa <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://youtu.be/ZEBGG7KFQpU">https://youtu.be/ZEBGG7KFQpU</a></span>, so
it is not surprising that he is also testing new biometric vaccination ID’s in

And interestingly enough, if you “Google” America’s most powerful doctor, who
pops up? Bill Gates – who doesn’t have a medical degree at all, yet invests in
and pushes vaccines worldwide. Here he is being asked about his NONMEDICAL
opinion on CBS about COVID – I’m sorry, why is he an expert on this? At 17:20
to 18:04 he gives his recommendation on lockdowns and opening up the country
based on his non-existent medical degree <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/AC17xoynao1y/">https://www.bitchute.com/video/AC17xoynao1y/</a></span>.
First is real estate. And here is a documentary that shows exactly what Bill
Gates doesn’t want the world to see or know about him and his plans for the
world <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://beforeitsnews.com/new-world-order/2021/01/bill-gates-deleted-documentary-9679.html">https://beforeitsnews.com/new-world-order/2021/01/bill-gates-deleted-documentary-9679.html</a></span>.
He has also filed a patent on cryptocurrency using body activity data (what he
has already been testing in Africa?) <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606">https://patentscope.wipo.int/search/en/detail.jsf?docId=WO2020060606</a></span>

And lucky for us, we have Bill Gates to predict when our “next” pandemic will
arrive! Again, based on all his scientific and medical training. Could he maybe
be planning something again??</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And people love him – think he is a humanitarian and
philanthropist. But that all changes when you understand his underlying motives
and goals for not only our country, but the world. And he thinks he has the
power to do whatever he wants. Did we vote on whether or not we wanted to block
out some of the sun? Did we vote on a one world government? Did he ask us what
we thought about vaccines and his depopulation plan before he started executing
it?</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

And lets not forget Dr. Fauci’s report mentioned above on the Spanish Flu and
how there were more that died from bacterial pneumonia than the actual flu –
and we now know that masks <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">CAUSE</b>
bacterial pneumonia. And if the above articles don’t give you pause, try
reading this one too <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/12/cdc-study-finds-overwhelming-majority-of-people-getting-coronavirus-wore-masks/">https://thefederalist.com/2020/10/12/cdc-study-finds-overwhelming-majority-of-people-getting-coronavirus-wore-masks/</a>.
But wait a minute! Didn’t the CDC recently publish their own mask study, “Decline
in COVID-19 Hospitalization Growth Rates Associated with Statewide Mask
Mandates — 10 States, March–October 2020”? And I will have to tell you that,
yes, yes they did. However, as a student who just learned how to read and
interpret research studies and statistics – which I would have to argue that
the general public doesn’t understand how to do that – I was very concerned
about this article. First of all, it is a correlational study. And research 101
says that CORRELATION does not mean CAUSATION. So no matter how much you twist
the statistics to imply that something that has some sort of correlation can be
interpreted that one thing caused the other – is completely bad science. Also,
they calculated and published p values for this article, which is highly
unusual for correlation studies. Usually correlation coefficients are used to
calculate correlation values and published, along with other statistics.
However, the fact that they only published the p values is highly suspicious,
especially because without seeing the other statistical values, a significant p
value from a correlational study can easily inflate how the results are
interpreted, not to mention all of the limitations and variables that are
unaccounted for <a href="https://www.aier.org/article/the-cdcs-mask-mandate-study-debunked/">https://www.aier.org/article/the-cdcs-mask-mandate-study-debunked/</a>.

are advocating against continued PCR testing, lock-downs, mask wearing and
social distancing. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">BUT THEY ARE BEING
SILENCED AND CENSORED</b>. Why? Is there an alternative agenda for removing our
constitutional freedoms and keeping us sick? Is there a reason why some science
is significant, but if it doesn’t fit your narrative it is not significant? Are
the American people too dumb to be able to tell the difference if presented
both sides of the “science?” </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Harms of lockdowns</b></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Patients are actually being turned away from seeing HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS because of these ridiculous rules. Children who get fevers and
coughs and runny noses regularly (because that is what happens in childhood
with growing and learning immune systems!) are being turned away from
appointments because of them. What is the point of having a health professional
if they won’t see a patient that has concerns about their health? The hypocrisy
and lack of common sense are only getting worse as we continue to give the
liberal global agenda the power to remove freedoms from healthy law-abiding
citizens who deserve to live and have access to resources for themselves and
their families. Here is a Nobel laureate explaining how lockdowns could
actually kill more than the lockdowns “claim to save” <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8351649/Lockdown-waste-time-kill-saved-claims-Nobel-laureate.html?fbclid=IwAR1-ie7fCLJD7-Ae--CdTmgbZgnyudqLyFzpHnWEWUuT_M6uv7bST6ph8N4">https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8351649/Lockdown-waste-time-kill-saved-claims-Nobel-laureate.html?fbclid=IwAR1-ie7fCLJD7-Ae--CdTmgbZgnyudqLyFzpHnWEWUuT_M6uv7bST6ph8N4</a></span>.
And there is no actual science that supports lockdowns. If individuals are
driven by fear, they can choose to wear two masks, social distance, and stay
home. But we can’t continue to keep healthy law-abiding citizens from
participating in their own lives with rights and freedoms that the constitution
protects based on flip-floppy PSUEDO SCIENCE <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://rumble.com/vfgnm7-fauci-makes-up-lockdown-restrictions-based-on-opinions-not-facts.html" target="_blank">https://rumble.com/vfgnm7-fauci-makes-up-lockdown-restrictions-based-on-opinions-not-facts.html</a></span>.
States that have not had mask mandates or social distancing mandates or
lock-downs have not fared any worse than states that have illegally locked
their citizens down. Yes, the fearmongering agenda will twist and make the
numbers try to show otherwise, but we have the ability to do our own research
and understand what is really going on. On top of that, these mandates are
encouraging businesses and organizations and schools to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">discriminate against</b> healthy individuals that have the right to
assemble, breathe oxygen, develop their own natural immunity and continue to
live their lives as law abiding citizens, including being able to purchase
basic necessities for survival. Are we even allowed to follow the science that
is not approved by the liberal media and agenda? And here is the true reason
that they want us locked down <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://bongino.com/liberal-guest-tells-tucker-lockdowns-will-lead-to-totalitarian-state">https://bongino.com/liberal-guest-tells-tucker-lockdowns-will-lead-to-totalitarian-state</a></span>.
And here is Elder Bednar letting us know that we can never allow the government

Notwithstanding everything else about lockdowns, this study shows that UV light
kills the virus at least 90% of the time in 6.8-12.8 minutes. But we are safer
locked away in our homes where there is no UV light <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/222/2/214/5841129">https://academic.oup.com/jid/article/222/2/214/5841129</a></span>?</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And FINALLY, natural immunity has served the human
population well since the beginning of time. Healthy law-abiding citizens
deserve to be able to choose whether or not they and their children receive an
EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” or not. Especially for a virus that may or may not
exist. Have you asked yourself why they are pushing a mandatory vaccine that
has not gone through rigorous testing (skipped the animal trials! <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/11/researchers-rush-to-start-moderna-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-without-usual-animal-testing/">https://www.statnews.com/2020/03/11/researchers-rush-to-start-moderna-coronavirus-vaccine-trial-without-usual-animal-testing/</a></span>)
for a virus that is 99% recoverable by the majority of the population? And why
is it now okay to discriminate against those who choose to have a natural
immunity to the world around them rather than a vaccine-induced immunity? In
fact, the EXPERIMENTAL COVID-19 “vaccine” does not guarantee immunity – just
the possibility of lesser side-effects if you get COVID-19 after the “vaccine”
– yes YOU CAN GET COVID AFTER THE VACCINE! Is it technically a vaccine then?
Isn’t a vaccine supposed to provide immunity? The idea that employers and
businesses including airlines can REQUIRE citizens to receive an EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine”
or they cannot receive services or employment goes against the Nuremberg code
among others. In fact, I just learned about Human Subjects Research Ethics in
my graduate research methods class. Any experimental research with human
subjects should follow these standards: The Belmont Report and the Common Rule,
the Nuremberg Code, the Declaration if Helsinki, the Declaration of Geneva
(World Medical Assoc.), and the HHS Code of Federal Regulations (45 CFR 46 +
subparts A, B, and C). They are all about informed consent, people not being
coerced or forced to participate, full disclosure of possible risks and
benefits, subjects can back out at any time, privacy protections of personal
identifying and health information, protection from harm (benefits outweigh
risks), and protection of vulnerable populations (cognitively/mentally/physically
impaired, pregnant women, children, and prisoners). Ask anyone that has been
vaccinated with the EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” if all of these things were
discussed with them before they agreed to participate. Oh, right – because it
is an “emergency,” we don’t have to follow the normal procedures. Do you see
how we are in very dangerous territory? So yeah, if you get the vaccine you are
literally participating in the biggest experiment ever done:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://thehighwire.com/videos/the-biggest-experiment-ever-done/">https://thehighwire.com/videos/the-biggest-experiment-ever-done/</a></span>.
But doctors and scientists around the world are outraged at the mass acceptance
of this ridiculous idea <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://doctors4covidethics.medium.com/urgent-open-letter-from-doctors-and-scientists-to-the-european-medicines-agency-regarding-covid-19-f6e17c311595" target="_blank">https://doctors4covidethics.medium.com/urgent-open-letter-from-doctors-and-scientists-to-the-european-medicines-agency-regarding-covid-19-f6e17c311595</a></span>.
And there have been over 2,000 deaths from the EXPERIMENTAL “vaccines” so far <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?EVENTS=ON&VAX=COVID19&DIED=Yes">https://medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?EVENTS=ON&VAX=COVID19&DIED=Yes</a></span>
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– the H1N1 experimental vaccine was

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Doctors around the world are speaking out against the possible

vaccine deaths this year (because of the EXPERIMENTAL “vaccines”) than all the
years before combined <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/exclusive-per-cdc-data-nearly-twice-many-vaccine-related-deaths-far-2021-1755-vaccine-deaths-past-decade-994/" target="_blank">https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/03/exclusive-per-cdc-data-nearly-twice-many-vaccine-related-deaths-far-2021-1755-vaccine-deaths-past-decade-994/</a></span>.</span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">
</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">And people are still getting COVID after the vaccine – so
what is the point? <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/246-fully-vaccinated-people-in-michigan-test-positive-for-covid-19-3-dead_3765643.html?&utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email2&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-04-07-2&mktids=c137c9257fb19efc023ba82e332a833b&est=V3p2QD9cann%2BVH%2BLSWx4R3I%2BAO1rTydyRqDByL8REcBib%2BzHa20J33v9i0BuhFhixGbzwGhGpGs%3D">https://www.theepochtimes.com/mkt_breakingnews/246-fully-vaccinated-people-in-michigan-test-positive-for-covid-19-3-dead_3765643.html?&utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email2&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-04-07-2&mktids=c137c9257fb19efc023ba82e332a833b&est=V3p2QD9cann%2BVH%2BLSWx4R3I%2BAO1rTydyRqDByL8REcBib%2BzHa20J33v9i0BuhFhixGbzwGhGpGs%3D</a></span>.
Is it any wonder that the only reason these EXPERIEMENTAL “vaccines” were
approved was under an EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) by the FDA? Part of the
requirement for being approved is that there are NO other treatment options
available for the virus. YET THERE ARE! So why are they censoring these
life-saving treatments causing thousands of deaths AND pushing an EXPERIMENTAL
“vaccine” if there is not an alternate agenda other than public health and
safety? And why is it now okay to do this? Twelve state attorney Generals have
told social media companies to shut down anyone questioning the COVID
EXPERIMENTAL “vaccines” <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://t.me/disclosurehub/474" target="_blank">https://t.me/disclosurehub/474</a></span>.
Censorship at its finest, again. But why are they pushing this EXPERIEMENTAL
“vaccine” to such an extreme extent? I mean, it has advertising campaigns –
just like the virus itself! Don’t you think if it was that deadly we would know
and understand without them constantly having to remind us? And these EXPERIMENTAL
“vaccines” do not guarantee immunity which means that if you get COVID with lesser
symptoms after the vaccine you could still spread it and not even know you have
it! The Ex-Vice President of Pfizer even made a statement about how this
“vaccine” will be used for massive scale depopulation. What do you think he
knows that we don’t?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.com/exclusive-former-pfizer-vp-to-aflds-entirely-possible-this-will-be-used-for-massive-scale-depopulation/" target="_blank">https://www.americasfrontlinedoctors.com/exclusive-former-pfizer-vp-to-aflds-entirely-possible-this-will-be-used-for-massive-scale-depopulation/</a></span>.

is in the EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine” anyways? Nano technology for one, <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.brighteon.com/6bbf3d1b-d9b6-4047-9772-dd277bfe3324">https://www.brighteon.com/6bbf3d1b-d9b6-4047-9772-dd277bfe3324</a></span>

Respiratory related vaccines have never been effective in clinical trials. And
the flu vaccines (a similar virus) got their start, in a very similar manner to
the COVID EXPERIMENTAL “vaccine.” It is talked about here (website link below):
“The CDC's decision to play up flu deaths dates back a decade, when it realized
the public wasn't following its advice on the flu vaccine. During the 2003 flu
season "the manufacturers were telling us that they weren't receiving a
lot of orders for vaccine,"Dr. Glen Nowak, associate director for
communications at CDC's National Immunization Program, told National Public
Radio. "It really did look like we needed to do something to encourage people
to get a flu shot." The CDC's response was its "<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="http://cpi.probeinternational.org/2004/10/24/vaccine-fevers/" target="_blank">Seven-Step 'Recipe</a></span>' for Generating Interest in, and
Demand for, Flu (or any other) Vaccination," a slide show Nowak presented
at the 2004 National Influenza Vaccine Summit. Here is the "Recipe that
fosters influenza vaccine interest and demand," in the truncated language
that appears on his slides: "<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Medical
experts and public health authorities [should] publicly (e.g. via media) state
concern and alarm (and predict dire outcomes)</b> - and urge influenza
vaccination." This recipe, his slide show indicated, would result in
"<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Significant media interest and
attention ... in terms that motivate behavior</b> (e.g. as 'very severe,' 'more
severe than last or past years,' 'deadly')." Other emotive recommendations
included <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">fostering "the perception
that many people are susceptible to a bad case of influenza</b>" and
"<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Visible/tangible examples of the
seriousness of the illness</b> (e.g., pictures of children, families of those
affected coming forward) and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">people
getting vaccinated (the first to motivate, the latter to reinforce)</b>." The
CDC unabashedly decided to create a mass market for the flu vaccine by
enlisting the media into panicking the public. An obedient and unquestioning
media obliged by hyping the numbers, and 10 years later it is obliging still.” <span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/lawrence-solomon/death-by-influenza_b_4661442.html">https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/lawrence-solomon/death-by-influenza_b_4661442.html</a></span>.

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">Richard G. Scott in a 2007 General Conference in a talk
titled <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Truth: The Foundation of Correct Decisions </span></i>said, “There are
two ways to find truth—both useful, provided we follow the laws upon which they
are predicated. The first is the scientific method. It can require analysis of
data to confirm a theory or, alternatively, establish a valid principle through
experimentation. The scientific method is a valuable way of seeking truth.
However, it has two limitations. First, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we
never can be sure we have identified absolute truth</b>, though we often draw
nearer and nearer to it. Second, sometimes, no matter how earnestly we apply
the method, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we can get the wrong answer</b>.
The best way of finding truth is simply to go to the origin of all truth and
ask or respond to inspiration. <u>For success, two ingredients are essential:
first, unwavering faith in the source of all truth; second, a willingness to
keep God’s commandments to keep open spiritual communication with Him.”</u></span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">

</span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">*This post is the result of my own quest for research so
that I could make informed decisions for myself and my family. I am not a
doctor, nor am I giving medical advice. I encourage everyone to do their own
research and base their own decisions on truth – which we can only do if we
have access to all the information we need to make educated and prayerful
decisions.</span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So I’ve had to take a bit of a break because my heart just
hurts. Not in a physical way, though it does cause some physical pain, but in a
heartache kind of way. The way that watching your once great country crumble
before your eyes hurts. The way that watching people you once admired and
respected controlled by puppet strings hurts. The way that watching people be
offended by everything and everyone just so they can claim victimhood hurts. The
way that cancel culture silences opposing opinions and ideas hurts. And this
whole time, I’ve been wondering what in the world happened to common sense?
Where has our logic gone? And why is everyone pretending like this is the new
“normal?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was at church the other day, struggling to breathe through
my mask, so I kept pushing it down to breathe every once in a while. I mean,
every other pew is blocked off for social distancing, and had I been in a restaurant,
it would be expected to take off my mask and eat if I were at a table, right?
And then I started pushing it down when I needed to talk to my 3-year-old
daughter, because, I don’t know, I believe children should be able to see their
parent’s faces when they talk to them – which teaches them how to read body
language and become socially able. And then the sacrament came my way. So what
did I do? I made sure my mask was up and snug over my nose and mouth. And then
what did I do? As soon as the tray was in front of me, I removed my mask so
that I could partake of the sacrament, and then put my mask back on. And then I
realized. WHILE THE TRAY WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, you know, the tray that
everyone takes from, my mask was down and I was breathing all over the bread
(and later the water). And then I realized that everyone before me had done the
same thing. So this whole time we are wearing masks like obedient little sheep,
limiting oxygen to our brain (that I’ve been told our brains and bodies need TO
SURVIVE), to prevent the spread of moisturized air droplets that could contain
a virus that is 99.9% recoverable by the majority of the population, only to
remove that mask while the food that everyone in the room is taking from is
right in front of us? Please explain that logic to me. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And that got me thinking. Why are they using a sanitizing
wipe to wipe down the podium and microphone after every speaker, but not wiping
down the door handles for the building after each person goes in or out? And
not sanitizing the restroom after each person uses it? Please explain that
logic to me. Either we are being hyper vigilant and compliant, or we are only
doing what is visually needed to have an outward show of “compliance.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Oh, right. We don’t use logic anymore. It has become more
about our outward appearance of “compliance” than about our actual health and
the health of others. And you know what the problem is with outward
appearances? That gives those that comply the justified feeling that they can
call out, harass and attack those that choose not to comply – or can’t comply
(medical exemptions for physical and mental illnesses). You know, brotherly
love and everything. I remember when Jesus spent his time with the “unclean” to
minister to them and heal them. But nowadays at church it is okay to discriminate
against those with medical exemptions who can’t wear masks and those who choose
not to wear masks because they believe that they have the right to breathe
oxygen – and no one can take that right away - because those who are more
compliant are somehow better and more obedient and care more and deserve to be
there to worship Jesus Christ more than the others? HEALTHY individuals who do
not wear a mask are “unclean” somehow and are not welcome in the presence of
those who are more compliant to the government (I don’t need to share new research
studies with you that show that asymptomatic transfer is practically
non-existent – you know, because the media will get right on that). And it is
justified, right? For the health and safety of the whole congregation?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I seem to remember a time in the scriptures when the
Zoramites decided that those who were poor couldn’t worship in their
synagogues. The same people that helped to build those synagogues. Why? Because
they were poor and “unclean.” Have we really reverted back to that? Who do you
think made the rules at the Zoramite synagogues? God or Jesus Christ? Or people
and church leaders who thought they were justified in keeping the congregation
away from those who did not fit their social norm? Oh yeah, and these were the
same people that built the Rameumptom. Will that come next? Those who wear
masks (or choose to be vaccinated with an experimental vaccine) are allowed to
sit closer to the podium, or they will build a higher podium that only those
who wear masks (or choose to be vaccinated with an experimental vaccine) are
allowed to speak from? Or maybe those who aren’t vaccinated can’t come to church
and worship at all?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You get my point. But the lack of common sense and logic
doesn’t stop there. No, in fact I’m pretty sure it is a symptom of a bigger
problem. The reason why we feel we have to be compliant to our government
rather than our God and His teachings of acceptance and patience, love and
faith (NOT FEAR!). But I get it. Fear is a big motivator. People are afraid
that they could die from this virus, or their loved ones could die from this
virus – people <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">have</i> died from this
virus. People are afraid that they could catch it in their own car while they
are driving alone with their mask on. People are afraid that if they touch an unsanitized
grocery cart it will be a death sentence. But how did human being’s bodies
survive this long if we were so fragile? How many plagues and pandemics has the
human race survived? And if the Lord allowed a plague to overtake the world and
kill everyone, wouldn’t that defeat his purposes and the three-fold mission of
his church? So why are we basing our lack of logic and common sense on fear? If
the author of faith is Jesus Christ, then who is the author of fear? If we are
allowing fear to guide every decision we are making, than who are we following
and essentially giving power to?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That gets us to the point of why fear is such a motivating
tactic, which stands to reason why our government would be employing that
tactic to gain compliance. Not compliance to keep us safe, but compliance to
keep us contained and focusing on the distraction of a virus that is 99.9%
recoverable by the majority of the population – you know – similar to the flu.
Distract us from what? Oh, I don’t know, maybe election fraud, attempts to
bring to fruition a global power that can control everyone and everything in
the world (it has been openly talked about), but that can’t be it, right? Maybe
an attempt to slowly remove our constitutional and God-give rights? But our
government wouldn’t do that to us, right? No government has ever done that to
their people, right? Because governments always have their citizen’s best
interests in mind, right? You know, communist China and their concentration
camps of their own citizens where they are raped and murdered and separated
from their families is for their best interest, right? And Nazi Germany
exterminating their own citizens was for their best interests, right? I mean,
they told their people that Jews were “unclean” and used their media as
propaganda to convince good-hearted and hard-working German citizens to be
afraid of their neighbors because they were unclean and because they were
unclean, posed a threat. That doesn’t sound familiar does it? I mean, wearing a
mask doesn’t equate wearing a gold star on your clothing, does it? Well I can
tell you this much, Hitler sure didn’t take power and announce to the world
that he planned to kill hundreds of thousands of people because they were “less
than,” did he? Nope. He started with fear. With propaganda. And the people fell
for it. Logic disappeared and common sense evaded the people. Yeah, kind of
like what is unfolding right in front of our eyes. And I’ve only listed 2
examples of almost every overreaching government throughout history and RIGHT
NOW. You see, with power always comes the pursuit of more power. It is what
always happens. Remember the pride cycle in the scriptures?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our country has certainly been blessed. But the constitution
doesn’t give us the right to breathe oxygen. It doesn’t give us the right to
work and provide for our families. It doesn’t give us the right to life and the
pursuit of happiness. It doesn’t give us the right to protect and defend our
families. Those are God-given rights. The constitution’s purpose was to prevent
the government from infringing upon those God-given rights. So tell me this.
Does the government legally have the authority to tell me if I am an essential enough
person in an essential enough profession to work or not? That my family is
essential enough to be provided for or not? Does it have the right to prevent
me from peacefully congregating and worshiping? Does it have the right to
prevent me from leaving my home and telling me how I can leave my home and why
I can leave my home and when I can leave my home? It’s a slippery slope.
Honestly, our government only has power as We the People give it to them.
Because if the government no longer protects our God-given rights, then it is
our responsibility to take that power back from them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I get it though. We are afraid that the government will
punish us if we don’t comply (if our neighbors don’t get there first). In fact,
they might. But does that make it right? Does that make it okay to demean and
belittle and marginalize people and their families and their rights and needs?
I’ve seen the meme going around that states that the people protecting Anne
Frank were breaking the law. The people who killed her were following the law.
So when do we cross that line? And how did the people involved in that scenario
become so complacent and motivated to do such horrendous things to their fellow
human beings? Fear. Propaganda. The government said there was a threat to their
society and they knew how to eliminate that threat. And good, God-fearing
people let them – even though it was morally and ethically wrong.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So how did the government and the main stream media lead us
to believe that we should be so afraid of this virus? Misinformaiton. Panic.
Inflating the “numbers.” Paying hospitals kick-backs for every COVID diagnosed
patient and COVID death. Which also inflated the numbers. Because if a person
died from jumping out a two story building, but they also happened to test
positive for COVID, if they listed COVID on the death report, that hospital received
thousands of dollars in federal aid. So there is no motivation to list the true
and actual cause of death, even though that is what killed this person. Common
sense, right? Why would hospitals do that? Why would governments encourage
that? Because it inflates their numbers and maintains the fearmongering that is
allowing them to control us. You can watch members from our government health
organizations list criteria for what counts as a legal COVID death. Literally,
they could have tested positive 60 days before and you can still call it a
COVID death. Even if they recovered completely, had no symptoms, or were
misdiagnosed by a false-positive PCR test. It doesn’t matter if that is what
actually killed them or not. And the PCR tests that have been used to diagnose?
Yeah, those have been proven to have up to a 97% false-positive rate – yet that
is what we based all of our numbers off of for the majority of last year. DO
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT PERCENTAGE? That means that it is possible that only 3% of
those who were told they had COVID actually had COVID, and not some other virus
or bacterial respiratory infection. And the flu? Gone. Where are all our annual
flu cases THAT ALSO KILL PEOPLE EVERY YEAR? It isn’t possible that even a small
percentage of those being diagnosed as COIVD positive had the flu, right, or a
really bad cold, right? Because the PCR tests were so accurate. Don’t worry!
Common sense and logic has our backs, right? Then why are they still using
these faulty tests?? As well as recommending TWO masks now. You know, because
we weren’t compliant enough already. And we can ignore the many research studies
that have come out showing that masks don’t work, because the government and media
censors that information – because it goes against their fear narrative. Yay!
More logic!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But logic and common sense don’t matter to us anymore. We
are trusting institutions and leaders that are motivated by paychecks and
kick-backs from big pharma and vaccine companies to make decisions for us and
our families. In fact the CDC has now said that those who are vaccinated can
now congregate together in small groups. And what about those who got COVID and
recovered? Don’t they have the same antibodies? Oh yeah, we are not using
common sense or logic anymore. Any more than the experimental vaccines illicitly
state that they MAY NOT EVEN prevent you from getting the virus. That’s right.
If you get COVID after the vaccine, it MAY make your symptoms not as bad. Then
what is the point of getting the vaccine for herd immunity if it isn’t even
making people immune? And if the vaccine isn’t making people immune, then why
are vaccinated individuals allowed to congregate, but those with natural immune
system immunity aren’t? And why are they making vaccination with an
experimental vaccine mandatory in some areas to keep your job, to fly on a
plane, to participate in other activities? Definitely common sense! Never mind
the fact that it eliminates a person’s choice to decide what goes into their own
bodies.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">That’s right. Because we don’t live by logic any more. We
only live by fear. By what the media tells us to live by. We’ve even forgotten
to bring God into the equation. The Holy Spirit testifies of truth, so have we
prayed about what is happening in our country right now? Have we prayed about
every instance of lack of logic and common sense that we are living right now?
Does your heart or gut tell you that something is off? Yeah. I know. It is so
much easier to let other people make decisions for us than to stand up for what
is right and true. Which by the way, was the adversary’s plan before we came to
earth – to make us comply rather than letting us make our own decisions with
free agency. But that is okay. The government will save us all, especially as
they continue to eliminate our constitutional rights (and Free Agency) one by
one while we are so distracted by this virus with a 99.9% recovery rate for the
majority of the population.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please do your own research. Please make decisions for
yourself – what is best for you and your own family. Please involve God in the
equation. Please revert back to common sense and logic. These things were
working really well for us before. So maybe we should bring them back?</p>

Yesterday I realized how much of a
burden they are. But I fear the rebuke of God more than I fear man. I also
thought it fitting that in my personal study I was reading in Alma 46 today. I’m
pretty sure there are no such things as coincidences. So here we go again… and
by the way, happy President’s Day.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">People keep telling me that Joe Biden is my president for
the next 4 years and I just need to get used to it. I’m sorry. If I own a car,
and someone steals it, just because they deny stealing it and refuse to let
anyone see the evidence of MY title and the car insurance in MY name, AND the
video of them from my porch showing them unlawfully taking MY car, does not
mean that my car is theirs. Even if they tell everyone that I am crazy, that they
have been using the car to go to work and pick up their kids from school for
years, it is still my car. Even if they threaten violence and convince people
to rise up and intimidate me and threaten to put me and my children in
concentration camps, and even my children in a wood chipper (a real Tweet from
a Disney producer) if I don’t agree that my car is theirs, IT IS STILL MY CAR.
Will I sit back and say, oh, I guess I just have to accept that this thief is
the owner of my car for the next 4 years because that is what he is saying and
that is what everyone is trying to scare me into believing? Absolutely not. I
live in the United States of America. I would call the police, report my
vehicle stolen, and when they find it (even though it may be damaged beyond
repair – if not gone forever), it will be returned to me. If they are caught in
the act they will be charged with a crime. If I take them to court, show my
proof of ownership and my video evidence, and when the thief fails to prove their
case, they will have to pay for their crime. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So why would I accept this fraudulent scenario for the
presidency of the most powerful nation in the free world? Did you see all of
the PROOF of how they have lied and cheated, pushed a false narrative and
doctored fake and misleading evidence in the recent 2<sup>nd</sup> impeachment
hearing? If you didn’t, I suggest you watch it. It is eye-opening.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Do you know what gaslighting is? It is a form of abuse. The
person doing the gaslighting manipulates you psychologically to the point that
you start to question your own sanity. They tell you a certain narrative that
is NOT TRUE, and drill it in to you over and over and over again, and when you
question that narrative they tell you that you’re crazy. By the time they are
done with you, you are actually letting them control you by letting them
control the false narrative. Then they actively shut down your TRUE and valid
thoughts, ideas and experiences – things that you witness with your own eyes.
This is where we are at people. The liberal left, the same individuals that
have decided, without giving us a choice, that our country will be involved in
Agenda 21, the Great Reset, the New World Order. And by the way, these are
openly talked about, not conspiracy theories. Their goal is to enslave the
entire world because they have chosen a sovereign entity (who decides who that
is?) to control all wealth, resources and people. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If Biden was our legitimate president, why are they so
afraid to let the world see all the evidence of “alleged” voter fraud? Are they
forcing a narrative and removing the ability for us to see how false their
narrative really is? And then threatening those of us who are not going along
with this false narrative to scare us into submission? This is not how the election
of the president of The United States of America works. It is not about not
making waves. It is not about avoiding conflict. This is about letting someone
with an evil agenda who is a puppet for those with a more evil agenda, take
over our lives, our rights, our freedoms and our way of life. This is about our
future and our children’s futures. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And the funny thing is, I don’t understand why people are
trying to turn our great country into something that it isn’t. If you hate
freedom so much and the ability to have your own thoughts and rights - if you
are so lazy that you want someone to dictate to you what you can and can’t do
all day every day - then why don’t you move to China? They have already
mastered it there! But that is their goal, isn’t it? And they have the liberal
left thinking that they will be the winners if they can get away with all of
this. But if there is one dictator – everyone loses. Everyone’s opinions and
rights will eventually be taken away, otherwise that dictator wouldn’t be
effective. The other option is to work under the dictator and do their bidding
(which still means you can’t think or act for yourself). The unfortunate thing
is that they have the mainstream media and social media on their sides. Which
means they are constantly and effectively spreading their propaganda to
unsuspecting and too trusting Americans, who unfortunately are falling for it.
Why else would people be okay with a stolen election by a tyrant who has
already started executive ordering away our freedoms under the guise of how
this is for our safety, for our protection, for this New World Order where one
person owns everyone and all the resources? Because we are too “simple minded”
to govern ourselves (Obama).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But the silver lining? Our founding fathers planned for
something like this. They were kind of brilliant, led by God so that his gospel
could be restored to the earth, and saving ordinances performed without a
government interfering. We live in the Promised Land. Now the question is, are
we willing to fight for it? Or are we going to let them steal our car while
they convince everyone that it is theirs, and then run it into the ground after
using it to commit unlawful and unconstitutional crimes? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We can’t afford to not fight for it. Because their narrative
is false. They are the frauds. They are the ones trying to remove our freedom
of speech, our right to bear arms (which is specifically so that we can fight
back against our government if necessary, by the way), freedom of religion, our
parental rights, and our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Because if we wait 4 years to do something about it, it will be too late.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So what do we do? That is the million dollar question. We
the People have been sleeping so long – not necessarily intentionally – that
we’ve only just noticed that they have been doing this for a long time, in
gradual increments. We have trusted that our elections have been fair. We have
trusted that our elected officials have had our best interests in mind. We have
been lied to and conditioned to believe that lie, or be called a conspiracy
theorist, or worse, silenced. But that was before the whole world began to wake
up. Before We the Sheeple remembered that we are in fact We the People. But we
have to act now before irreparable damage and more resulting chaos and
heartache become our new true narrative.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Have you ever wondered why President Donald Trump is so
hated? Is it because we all know him personally and understand his motivations?
Or is it because the media has told us to hate him? Have you ever wondered why
the liberal left has been working so tirelessly hard to convince us of his
weaknesses, incompetency and womanizing ways? They have tried to impeach him
twice now and he was acquitted both times. Why? Because their narrative is
false and always has been – and there are still people out there who are
actually fighting for US. The reason the liberal left want everyone to hate him
is because they know that his true purpose is to fight for the American people
– the exact opposite of their agenda. He was trying to remove the corruption
and the corruption fought back hard. Really hard. I’m also guilty of believing
the media. Until I realized that if they were so desperate to remove him from
office, then there must be a reason. Just look at all of the things he
accomplished the short 4 years he was in office. By the time he was in office
for 500 days, he had already accomplished 60 things including promises he made
during his campaign. Did the media cover that?? And don’t look for it on Google
or the main stream media – they have hidden his exceptional track record. They
have edited videos, taken things out of context, and have painted a false
narrative so that when we questioned them, they could tell us that we are the crazy
ones. It may surprise you to know that he has done more for black Americans,
the LGBTQ community, small businesses, women and the disabled than any other
president. Why isn’t this public knowledge, with gratitude echoing from the
rooftops? Are you starting to see the big picture now?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://promiseskept.com/">https://promiseskept.com/</a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So back to… but what can we do about it? As individuals, we
can stop listening to their narrative. We can DO OUR OWN RESEARCH. The
DuckDuckGo search engine is one of a few that are uncensored. Pay attention to
what social media is pushing down your throat and realize there is a reason for
that – and that whatever they are pushing is probably the opposite of how it
really is (recall one of my previous posts about good being seen as evil and
evil being seen as good in the last days?). They are really committed to their
stolen car because of all of the evil things they can do with it. There are red
flags everywhere. We can start talking to friends and family and start waking
up our loved ones to the manipulation, propaganda and gaslighting that is
happening right in front of our faces. We can teach our children about the
constitution and why it is so important and how we have to preserve it at all
cost.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But that doesn’t give us our stolen car back, does it? No,
but it is a start. Do you remember after the revolutionary war when General
George Washington rebuffed presidential offers? It wasn’t until they begged him
to lead that he finally relented. Yet he did. And the rest is history.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been convinced that Donald J. Trump has been playing
3-D chess this whole time. He had to step away from the stolen election so that
the American people could begin to see on their own what is actually going on
and what has actually been going on for a long time in our government – and to
show us how quickly things can become dire, as seen by the ridiculous number of
executive orders that Biden has forced through without involving congress or
the justice system, which are the very checks and balances for our country. And
I believe that when we get desperate enough, we will plead for President Trump
to come back and continue to fight for our country, defeat the corruption that
he has ALREADY started working on (including the FBI and CIA), and save our
constitution from being erased under the guise of this New World Order. But
unless enough of us are on the same page, it wouldn’t make sense for him to fight
for us. Especially if we are not willing to stand up for, let alone fight for
ourselves, our families, and our children. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I personally am already there. Each day this car thief
continues to deceive our nation and the world, the more we lose. And it is not
just a justice issue, though that is huge in and of itself. It is a moral
issue. If we just “wait” until the next election in 4 years, are we senseless
enough to believe that it won’t be just as rigged as the last one? If you are
telling yourself we will fight back in 4 years at the polls, you are ignoring
the blatant car stealing that happened during this last election. The video
evidence, the eye-witness testimonies, the testing of the machines that show
they were programmed to switch votes and connected to other countries via the
internet, the countless numbers of dead and unregistered voters that somehow
filled out ballots for our car thief. And in 4 years, we think that all of that
will just right itself and won’t happen again? This is propaganda at its best.
They don’t want us to fight back. They want us to feel uncomfortable,
ostracized, scared for our lives and our children’s lives. Not only have they
stolen our car, but they are bullying us into submission.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And I’m going to try one more time, in case the car thing
doesn’t make sense to you. What if you met the perfect person and got engaged,
planned the wedding and showed up on your wedding day only to find a stranger
standing where your significant other is supposed to stand. What if that stranger’s
family and friends all came and convinced every single one of your friends and
family that they were your real fiancée. What if they convinced the clergy or
judge and forced you to go through with the wedding anyways, because if you
didn’t something bad would happen to those you love – not because THEY are an
evil person, but because of YOU speaking out or demanding your real fiancée.
What if they told you that you must be crazy for not remembering how much you
love them and want to spend the rest of your life with them? Would you be okay
with waiting 4 years before you say something, or try to do everything you can
to marry your real fiancée instead of this imposter? Say you are complacent
because you didn’t want to make waves, and as soon as the ceremony ends this
imposter started limiting what you could say, where you could go, who you could
talk to, your access to healthcare and health decisions, if and where you could
work, what you could think – all while threatening you and making you feel like
if you disagree with them that YOU are the crazy one? Sound familiar? Please
tell me you understand the situation we as a nation are CURRENTLY IN RIGHT NOW.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Still want to wait 4 years just to have them cheat again?
Because if they get away with it once, you can bet that they are going to try
to get away with it again (and they have probably already gotten away with it
for years in many other elections – you don’t just hijack a presidential
election on a whim).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other day I felt inspired to pen this letter. My family
and I have signed it and will put it in the mail today. I’ve included a picture
of the original document as well as a link to the PDF document. I would be
completely fine with it if you wanted to print, sign, and mail your own copy.
In fact, I would appreciate that. Or you could use ours as a template and pen
your own. This is OUR country, OUR freedoms, and OUR future. It’s not like we
are taking something that we didn’t rightfully earn through our election. It is
not our fault that they cheated, rigged the system and lied to us about all of
it. If begging our modern-day General George Washington will help to organize
us and help us get our true president back, and prosecute those who have
treated us with so much disdain, disrespect, committing obvious acts of treason
against our country and We the American People all while trying to stamp out
our freedoms, then I for one am going to try.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If the words of Moroni aren’t stirring enough, I will end
with the final words of Sophie Scholl, a 21-year old anti-Nazi activist that
was put to death by guillotine for her efforts to “wake up” her fellow citizens
who were seemingly blind to the atrocities going on around them, “Such a fine,
sunny day, and I have to go. But what does my death matter, if through us
thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is our freedom, or more importantly our children’s freedom
worth fighting for?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) just released an
article in the January 2021 American Academy of Pediatrics journal saying that
doctors should stop calling breastfeeding “natural.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 1.0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 1in 8pt;">“…we are concerned about breastfeeding promotion that
praises breastfeeding as the “natural” way to feed infants.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why would the AAP make such an absurd statement? Because natural
breastfeeding may have unintended consequences of the parent seeking out other
“natural” ways of health and life.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><span style="text-decoration: none;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2016/03/02/peds.2015-4154">https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/early/2016/03/02/peds.2015-4154</a></span>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wonder if the AAP can hear themselves while writing this
article:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 67.5pt; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 67.5pt 8pt 1in;">“Beneath the concern of many Americans over vaccine
safety, a specific and not necessarily illogical worldview is discernable: a
rejection of the manufactured, the synthetic and the “unnatural,” and an
embrace of the “natural” as healthier and intrinsically better. Vaccines are
often seen as “unnatural,” and boosting immunity “naturally” is viewed by some
as the healthier and better approach. Online forums and blogs devoted to
natural living offer countless examples of this perspective, and the recent
book <i>Vaccine Nation</i> by Elena Conis documents the evolution of this
worldview in detail. Studies have shown that parents who resist vaccination
tend to inhabit networks of like-minded individuals with similar beliefs. These
pockets of antivaccination sentiment tend to overlap with reliance on and
interest in complementary and alternative medicine, skepticism of institutional
authority, and a strong commitment and interest in health knowledge, autonomy,
and healthy living practices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 67.5pt; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 67.5pt 8pt 1in;">The idea of the “natural” evokes a sense of purity, goodness,
and harmlessness. Meanwhile, synthetic substances, products, and technologies
mass produced by industry (notably, vaccines) are seen as “unnatural” and often
arouse suspicion and distrust. Part of this value system is the perception that
what’s natural is safer, healthier and less risky. This embrace of the
“natural” over the “unnatural” appears in a variety of contemporary scientific
and medical issues beyond vaccination, including rejection of genetically
modified foods, a preference for organic over conventionally grown foods, and
rejection of assisted reproductive technologies, as well as concerns over
environmental toxins and water fluoridation. Much of the interest in
complementary and alternative medicines also hinges on “ideas of natural techniques
as safer, gentler and benign.” In some cases, however, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">this view that “natural” is synonymous with “better” may work against
specific public health goals.</b>”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve blogged recently about censorship and how conservatism
and conservative ideas and morals are being shut down across main stream media
and social media platforms. In fact, even more recently, conservatives have
been demonized and called domestic terrorists, and racists among a slew of
other things based on the actions of just a few. The world is in the middle of
a fight between good versus evil, and censoring opinions on either side shuts
down the flow of knowledge that allows individuals and families the opportunity
of due diligence in their research – which is paramount to making informed decisions.
And what about their inherent right to basic freedoms and caring for themselves
and their family members in a way that they feel is best? What happened to “my
body my choice”? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is not surprising that the liberal powers that be, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">that financially fund medical associations and
organizations</b> that are supposed to only base their recommendations on
scientific facts and what is best for us from a medical perspective, are now
also fighting against a person’s right to choose what to put in their own
bodies and their children’s bodies, whether “natural” or “unnatural.” They are
seeking to shut down a WHOLE CULTURE that is based on things that are “natural,”
because some of them disagree with this culture and mindset. And the American
people are letting them continue this sham. They have our best interests in
mind, right? Well, before we come to any logical or emotional conclusions here,
let’s look at who is donating to and funding this astute American Academy of Pediatrics.
I found this list of top donors since 2018 on their website:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mead Johnson Nutrition<br />
Abbott Nutrition<br />
Nestlé Nutrition<br />
Johnson & Johnson<br />
The Nicholson Foundation<br />
Conrad N. Hilton Foundation<br />
The JPB Foundation<br />
Merck & Co.<br />
Ronald McDonald House Charities<br />
Sanofi Genzyme</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And here is a list of donors to their Friends of Children’s
Fund ($50,000 and above):</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Abbott<br />
Pampers<br />
Mead Johnson Nutrition<br />
Nestle<br />
Merck<br />
Sanofi Pasteur<br />
Prolacta Bioscience<br />
Sobi<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Those who donated less than $50,000 include:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Johnson & Johnson<br />
kaleo<br />
Perrigo Nutritionals<br />
Seqirus<br />
GlaxoSmthKline<br />
Genentech a Member of the Roche Group<br />
Janssen Infectious Diseases<br />
Kabrita USA<br />
New York Life Insurance Company<br />
Supernus Pharmaceuticals, Inc.<br />
The Physician’s Computer Company</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It kind of makes sense now, doesn’t it? If your major funding
sources are baby formula, big pharma, and vaccine companies, you wouldn’t have
any pressure or bias towards recommending “unnatural” ways of healing and
living life, versus “natural” would you? Always follow the money. Our nation’s
capital is surrounded by lobbyists for the same reason. The majority don’t have
our best interests in mind, but rather their own pocket books and whatever
agenda their funding source wants them to push.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For example, Abbott, the parent company of Pediasure and Pedialyte, also
recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AND ONE OF THE TOP FUNDING
COMPANIES LISTED ON THE AAP WEBSITE), and both have a whole lot of corn syrup and SUGAR, also
sells diabetes glucose monitors. Conflict of interest? Follow the money.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And when COVID-19 emerged, several doctors touted the
effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine in both treating and preventing the virus.
But almost immediately, reports published in the Lancet by the American Medical
Association came out that Hydroxychloroquine was bad for you and could even kill
you. Meantime, in other countries, people who take this medication regularly
and have safely and effectively taken it regularly for years to prevent
Malaria, were confused by this statement. In fact Dr. Faucci knew that
Chloroquine medication types had been proven in the past to treat other strains
of cononaviruses because of a study published in the Virology Journal <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">in 2005</b>. From the article, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 8.0pt; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 1.0in; margin-top: 0in; margin: 0in 1in 8pt;">“Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) is caused by a
newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-CoV). No effective prophylactic or
post-exposure therapy is currently available. We report, however, that
chloroquine has strong antiviral effects on SARS-CoV infection of primate
cells. These inhibitory effects are observed when the cells are treated with
the drug either before or after exposure to the virus, suggesting both
prophylactic and therapeutic advantage. In addition to the well-known functions
of chloroquine such as elevations of endosomal pH, the drug appears to interfere
with terminal glycosylation of the cellular receptor, angiotensin-converting
enzyme 2. This may negatively influence the virus-receptor binding and abrogate
the infection, with further ramifications by the elevation of vesicular pH,
resulting in the inhibition of infection and spread of SARS CoV at clinically
admissible concentrations. Chloroquine is effective in preventing the spread of
SARS CoV in cell culture. Favorable inhibition of virus spread was observed
when the cells were either treated with chloroquine prior to or after SARS CoV
infection. In addition, the indirect immunofluorescence assay described herein
represents a simple and rapid method for screening SARS-CoV antiviral
compounds.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hydroxychloroquine is also successfully used around the world
to treat some auto-immune diseases, and a rare bleeding disorder and doctors
noticed almost immediately that patients on this medication were not
contracting COVID-19. And if a patient already had COVID-19, this medication
practically <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">cured</b> their symptoms –
especially if given early on in the virus. Then miraculously, after the vaccine
companies had already gotten their vaccines underway, and their aggressive
advertising campaigns backed by the main stream media and social media
platforms – you may also want to look into who is funding these experimental vaccines
(including companies tied to the Gates foundation and Dr. Anthony Faucci) – in
October of 2020 they RESCINDED their article and reported that
Hydroxychloroquine actually <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">helps</b>
COVID-19 patients. But the damage had already been done, so many lives had been
lost, and the main stream media had already run with the danger story, and
didn’t even bother to report on the false article BY THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION - who was well aware that the drug was safe and is even sold over
the counter in other countries - being rescinded. Instead the main stream media
touted the safety of the EXPERIMENTAL vaccines (that no safety or efficacy has
been reported on in animal or human trials yet according to normal vaccine
testing standards) that big tech and big pharma and billionaires have been funding
and pushing and who essentially will financially benefit from in a ginormous
and global way. Why is the main stream media so one sided? Why did Dr. Faucci
not encourage emergency (shortened length) studies on Hydroxychloroquine on
COVID-19 because that drug has less side effects than Tylenol, and certainly
doesn’t need an experimental vaccine that has unknown side-effects? Follow the
money.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Did you know that a lot of these same companies and
billionaires including the Chinese Communist Party are funding the main stream media?
You can read my last post for more on that can of worms. What about that the
same factory that COVID-19 came from in China also makes vaccines – and that
Dr. Anthony Faucci and Bill Gates also have ties to that factory? These are all
coincidences, right? Follow the money. They have made this information very
difficult to find, but it is there.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Since I mentioned Bill Gates, did you know that in his 2010
TED talk he talks about how the world is overpopulated? Here is a direct quote,
“now if we do a really great job on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">new
vaccines</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">healthcare</b>, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">reproductive health services</b>, we could
lower that by perhaps 10 or 15%.” Say what? I can understand how reproductive
services in the form of abortion and birth control can reduce future population
numbers, but how exactly will <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">new
vaccines</i> and <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">healthcare</i> reduce
population? I thought vaccines and healthcare were supposed to save and
preserve lives? THEY ARE TELLING US DIRECTLY TO OUR FACES WHAT THEIR AGENDAS
ARE. Are we listening? Are we sure we want any <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">new vaccine</b> that Bill Gates (who is NOT a medical doctor or
scientist) is funding? Especially when he has already told us that new vaccines
could lower our problem of overpopulation? The man sells computer software, and
then also the virus software to keep his own computer software programs
running. Conflict of interest? Suspicious intent? Follow the money.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In 2010, did you know that Obama appointed an FDA
commissioner that had formerly worked with a company that made, sold and profited
off of genetically modified (unnatural) food? This is the organization that is
supposed to make sure the food, water, and medications approved for consumption
in the United States are safe and effective. Have you looked into the values
and qualifications of the newest appointed commissioner? The bias is everywhere
and the hypocrisy is ripe, yet as Americans, we are blind to what is going on
around us. And why are certain chemicals and food additives banned in other
country’s foods because they are harmful, can cause cancer, and other
devastating consequences, yet approved for consumption in the United States?
Follow the money.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I guess it begs the question, is anything labeled “natural”
a detriment to society? Or is it more so a detriment to the billion dollar
industries that overwhelmingly dominate our country – monopolizing food
supplies, medical treatments and price points? Are they trying to shut down the
opposite opinion and way of life because it is really harmful to our health, or
because it is harmful to their pocketbooks and agenda? If a lot of these unnatural
chemicals were banned in our country, what would happen to the multi-billion
dollar health industry that profits off of the health conditions those
chemicals cause? And then who would fund the organizations that tell us what is
healthy or not? Don’t bother researching Google for the answers. They are just
as censored and biased and funded by the same companies. Follow the money. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The organizations that are supposed to guide us and help us
maintain our best health are funded by companies that sell products that profit
off of poor health. Let that sink in. Really sink in.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Congress men and women who are supposed to fight for their
constituent’s rights and needs are overwhelmed by lobbyists who have their own
agendas. Who has who’s back?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why is cancer, autism, obesity, auto immune diseases, heart
disease, and diabetes at record highs in our country, more so than any third
world country or even other first world countries? If our agencies were so good
at telling us and deciding for us what is “healthy” and what is “natural” or
not, then why is our country’s health so poor?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As far as I’m concerned a person should be able to decide if
they want to use “natural” or “unnatural” ways to eat, drink and heal. But I’m
tired of agencies and associations that are supposed to be champions for our
well-being, benefiting from the companies that are invested in our poor
health.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The definition of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">mammal</b>
from the American Heritage Dictionary is “any of various warm-blooded
vertebrate animals of the class Mammalia, including <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">humans</b>, characterized by a covering of hair on the skin and, in the
female, milk-producing mammary glands for nourishing the young.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And the definition of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">natural</b>
from the American Heritage Dictionary is “Present in or produced by nature. Of,
relating to, or concerning nature. Conforming to the usual or ordinary course
of nature.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yeah, I’m pretty sure breastfeeding is “natural” and is
actually a factual part of what defines our own species. I’m not sure how much
more scientific evidence is needed there. But let’s wait and see if they change
those definitions if the near future, like they did the definition of a
“pandemic” after COVID-19’s numbers were not following under the original
definition so they could keep the mask mandates and lock-downs going, and the
way they changed the definition of “herd immunity” to include immunity by
vaccines after the onset of COVID-19. Say what? Follow the agendas. Follow the
restrictions on our basic human and American rights and freedoms. Follow the
ways they are trying to divide us by gender, culture, race, political party,
viewpoints, socio economic status, values, and ways of life. Are they trying to
distract us from what is really going on? If we unified as a human race and actually
fought for our health, safety and rights instead of letting biased individuals
and multi-billion dollar industries deciding that for us, we might have a chance.
Oh, and don’t trust the “fact checkers” and “rumor checkers” or “conspiracy
checkers” either. They are also on the payrolls. Just look up who leads
Facebook’s “independent fact checking” organization, paid for by Facebook by
the way. What are their qualifications you might ask? Their ability to censor
any kind of information that goes against the agenda their funding sources
have. There seems to be a theme.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Follow the money.</p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The Spirit has been weighing a lot of thoughts in my mind
recently, so here is another post. In Genesis 3: 22 it says, “And the Lord God
said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil…”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Though Adam and Eve had transgressed, this step was a vital part
of the plan. Without knowing the difference between good and evil, there would
be no point in us having to prove ourselves to God. We also had to have
opposites. In Doctrine and Covenants 29:39 it says, “And it must needs be that
the devil should tempt the children of men, or they could not be agents unto
themselves; for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet
–” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If evil was never introduced to Adam and Eve, they would not
fully understand good because there was nothing to compare it to. Likewise,
they would not fully appreciate God and the good that He is without knowing the
devil and the evil that he is.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Now let’s think for a moment why freedom of speech is so
important. If what we say is censored and we are only allowed to hear one side
of an argument, then it removes the ability we have to “be agents unto”
ourselves. And do you see how the evil side could take advantage of that? If we
only heard evil, then we would not hear the good, know it's contrast to evil, and be able to stand up
against it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And what if evil could force their narrative, and censor out
good to the point that we started to believe that evil was good – good for us,
for our families, and for our country? And that lies were actually truth?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Isaiah 5:20 Isaiah warns us that in the last days we will
start to confuse good and evil, “ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good
evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for
sweet, and sweet for bitter.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What if we didn’t even know it was happening, because evil
gained our trust, and then began to feed us lies instead of truth and facts? Is
it our responsibility to actively be seeking truth and good? Even if our
information and facts are being censored removing truth and good from
everything we are told?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Absolutely. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Moroni 7: 12-19 says, “Wherefore, all things which are good
cometh of God; and that which is evil cometh of the devil; for the devil is an
enemy unto God, and fighteth against him continually, and inviteth and enticeth
to sin, and to do that which is evil continually. But behold, that which is of
God inviteth and enticeth to do good continually; wherefore, every thing which
inviteth and enticeth to do good, and to love God, and to serve him, is
inspired of God. Wherefore, take heed, my beloved brethren, that ye do not
judge that which is evil to be of God, or that which is good and of God to be
of the devil. For behold, my brethren, it is given unto you to judge, that ye
may know good from evil; and the way to judge is as plain, that ye may know
with a perfect knowledge, as the daylight is from the dark night. For behold,
the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil;
wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to
do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and
gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God. But
whatsoever thing persuadeth men to do evil, and believe not in Christ, and deny
him, and serve not God, then ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of the
devil; for after this manner doth the devil work, for he persuadeth no man to
do good, no, not one; neither do his angels; neither do they who subject
themselves unto him. And now, my brethren, seeing that ye know the light by
which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do not
judge wrongfully; for with that same judgment which ye judge ye shall also be
judged. Wherefore, I beseech of you, brethren, that ye should search diligently
in the light of Christ that ye may know good from evil; and if ye will lay
hold upon every good thing, and condemn it not, ye certainly will be a child of
Christ.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">God knew that the side of evil would try to confuse us. That
is why he has given every one of us the Light of Christ and the Holy Spirit,
which helps us to discern truth from falsehood and good from evil.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So if we are just accepting what is happening in the world
around us without actively asking and seeking and truly trying to find out what
is truth and what is good, then we are not utilizing these precious gifts that
God has given us to be able to know that we are truly following Him. And the
alternative is evil. Are we willing to risk our ignorance which could lead to
following evil?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why does this matter right now? Have you heard of fake news?
Journalism was once founded on the telling of facts to inform the people. But
have you noticed recently that only one side of the story is being told and it
always seems biased? I used to be an opinion columnist. There is a big
difference between facts and opinion, what is biased and unbiased. But people
are still trusting the news as if they are telling facts. Are you unsure? Then
I invite you to use those precious gifts that God has given us.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And what about “Fact Checkers”? They wouldn’t lead us
astray, right?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">What if fact checking organizations were created to
emphasize the narrative being told by the media, and those doing the “fact
checking” are biased as well?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For some, this sounds ridiculous, and I would have said that
a year ago too. But once you start seeking truth – really seeking truth – you
can’t unsee the falsehoods all around you. And it pains you to know that so
many people are idly and blindly following that false narrative because the
knowledge of what is really going on is too brutal for them to accept. We don’t
want to know or see how bad things have gotten. We don’t want to accept that
the organizations that we have trusted for so long are actually deceiving us.
But could it happen? That is where we need to use our own critical thinking
skills. Could you say beyond a shadow of a doubt, the media could not have been
paid-off by large companies and political agendas to say what they want you to
hear? I can’t. Which is what led me down this path of seeking my own knowledge
and finding out for myself what is true. It seems so simple, but it was a long
lonely path. And you can’t just talk about it openly amongst friends because
most people are so blindsided that they would call you a conspiracy theorist,
or worse. And if you get vocal enough, the powerful other side could even shut
you down by publicly slandering you, “proving” that it is truth with their paid
“fact checkers”, preventing you from being able to find a job to provide for
your family, or even murdering you and making it seem like a suicide. It seems
extreme, but when the devil’s plan is to indoctrinate the entire human race
with lies, hatred, and confusion to lead us astray, is any tactic too extreme
against those that fight back? Have millions across the world been slaughtered
for their beliefs and faith?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In my first of these series of posts I talked about the
Gadianton Robbers, and how we read about them in ancient times. These
individuals worshiped the devil and plotted against everything right and good,
and infiltrated top levels of government and society. And eventually brought
the downfall of the Nephite and Jaredite nations. If the devil can have so much
power over other generations, do you think he would stop there and not continue
to build back up his own kingdom with his schemes and power struggles,
corruption and lies through the same channels? Through the elite, wealthy,
entitled, power-hungry, politicians? Of course not. If anything, knowing that
we are in the Last Days and quickly approaching the time that our Savior will
return and overcome him, he would of course be stepping up his game. Of course
the devil will be building his army by whatever means he has available to him. And
of course they would involve secret societies and secret combinations – because
if the general God-fearing public were aware of his schemes and could see them
out in the open, they would rise up against it. Wouldn’t they? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So if the wealthy and power-hungry are at the center of
these evil secret combinations, you know, the ones who have money and are in
powerful and influential places, then why would they not pay-off the media and
social media companies to censor out what is truth and get us to fight and
disagree with each other in regards to what is true and what is really
happening in our country and all around us? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We live in a day and age where information spreads like
wildfire. And we also live in an age where Photoshop and video editing software
is ever present and available. It is so easy to create something false or
manipulate something that is true into something that is false and make it
still look true, and then sharing it on whatever platform is available to share
it. Anyone can create a website and put statistics on it, and hackers can
change and manipulate those statistics on those websites. It really isn’t a
jump from knowing that these tactics are possible, to knowing that if they are
possible, in this climate, that they are probably being used. And with
everything we have learned and know about psychology, is it possible that we
have been “trained” to believe every single thing without ever doubting that
something could be amiss?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Aren’t you glad we have a God-given remedy to help us seek
out and know what is truth? In Moroni we are reminded, “seeing that ye know the
light by which ye may judge, which light is the light of Christ, see that ye do
not judge wrongfully; for with that same judgment which ye judge ye shall also
be judged.” </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Can you say with a clear conscience that you did everything
in your power to seek out truth and light? Or did you accept what you were told
because it was easier? I am also guilty, for years it was easier to let
everyone else find and deliver the information to me, even though it could have
been false. Even though it could be supporting an evil agenda or narrative.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The great thing about this post is that I’m not telling you
what is going on around us is good or evil. I’m not telling you what to believe
and what not to believe. I’m reminding you that you have a God-given right to
find out for yourself what is true and what is false. And it doesn’t matter if
the media or social media is censoring truth. We don’t have to accept what we
see or read at face value. We have the Light of Christ and the Holy Spirit,
who’s charge it is to validate truth. You don’t have to take my word for it, or
anyone else’s. You don’t have to accept what you hear and see without question.
You have the power within yourself to know what is true or not. The only scary
part is that we will be held accountable for our own truth-seeking actions. If
we fail to seek out and follow good, then by our inactions we are actively
seeking out and following evil.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In Matthew 7:7 we are promised, “Ask, and it shall be given
you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And in John 14:18 we are promised, “I will not leave you
comfortless: I will come to you.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And in Romans 15:13, “Now the God of hope fill you with all
joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of
the Holy Ghost.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And in Doctrine and Covenants 11:12, “And now, verily,
verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good
– yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my
Spirit.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I personally don’t watch the news anymore, or search on web
browsers or social media sites that censor information. I don’t fall for the
“fear mongering” of the media and their calls to action by giving up my freedoms.
I will fight for truth, for honor, for my family and for my God. I’m doing my
best to receive information from unbiased sources (because both sides are there
– good and evil – but at least both sides are there so that I can learn and
know for myself) so that then I can ask the Holy Spirit if it is in fact truth
or not and if it does in fact require my attention or action and how to respond.
Because now that my eyes have been opened, I can’t unsee the deception and lies
all around us. I’ve also realized that the news in other countries are
reporting more truth about what is happening in our country than ours is. We’ve
been lied to and conditioned to believe what we are told, and the world is
watching us, shouting at us to wake up and see what is REALLY happening around
us. Because what happens in America will affect the world, and they know that. I
can share with you the unbiased and uncensored sites that I have been using if
you are interested. But again, you are responsible for your own journey toward
truth. I am happy to help and give suggestions along the way, but I can’t make
anyone see what they have to eventually see for themselves, especially anyone
who is not even ready to seek it out yet. The same goes for our own testimonies
of Jesus Christ. People don’t convert people, the Spirit converts people.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know that God lives and that we are living in the Last
Days, preparing the world for the Second Coming of our Savior Jesus Christ. I
know that there seems to be a lot of scary things going on in the world, and
knowing now that what we have been told may not be exactly how it is can be
confusing and fear inciting. But God has given us tools and we can trust in
him. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are you willing to watch a video with an open heart and
mind? Are you willing to do your own research? Are you willing to understand
the risk that not finding out the truth will be on ourselves, our families and
our country? I’m not suggesting you believe it, but I’m hoping it will
encourage you to think for yourself and to start questioning what is happening
right in front of our eyes. <span class="MsoHyperlink"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/KKxCuKtGyYZh/">https://www.bitchute.com/video/KKxCuKtGyYZh/</a></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Daniel C. Peterson, a professor of Islamic Studies and
Arabic at Brigham Young University in an article called “<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-font-kerning: 18.0pt;">The Book of Mormon and the Descent into Dissent” said,<b> </b></span><span class="MsoHyperlink">“The Book
of Mormon testifies “that Jesus is the Christ” (title page). But it also offers
case studies in how dissension arises and how it damages the Church and individuals.
It was written “unto the confounding of false doctrines and laying down of
contentions, and establishing peace” (<span class="MsoHyperlink"><a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/3.12?lang=eng#p12">2 Nephi
3:12</a></span>). It doesn’t merely describe the foibles and foolishness of
previous generations. It is for our day. We can, therefore, read it as a
commentary on our time, a guide and a warning to us.” <a href="https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2020/09/the-book-of-mormon-and-the-descent-into-dissent?lang=eng">https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/ensign/2020/09/the-book-of-mormon-and-the-descent-into-dissent?lang=eng<br /></a></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The future is ours, but we can only “be agents unto”
ourselves if we are given both good information and evil information to judge
from – which is the whole point of our existence. Now, what we do with that
information is up to each one of us. However, like always, we can’t choose the
consequences that will come because of our actions or inactions. But through
our faith and trust in God, we can know that He will deliver on His promises. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It makes freedom of speech have a whole new meaning, doesn’t
it?</p>

</p><p class="MsoNormal">Is my right to breath and unalienable right?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> I’m currently in graduate school and the most recent class I
completed was all about evidence-based practice. What is evidence-based
practice? It combines the needs of the patient/client, clinician expertise, and
proven research on the efficacy of the technique you want to use in therapy. It
is part of my code of ethics to make sure that what I am doing with a patient/client
is not only responsible, but effective. I learned a lot in this class about
finding research, reading research articles, and being able to interpret if the
information in the article was a highly effective and responsible study giving accurate
and statistically significant and clinically significant results or not. And
the whole time during this class I was thinking, where is all the double blind,
randomized controlled trials with a level 1 or level 2 hierarchy of efficacy
surrounding the effectiveness of wearing masks to help prevent the spread of disease?
And not the good masks, like gas masks that we know are effective, but thin
t-shirt like cloth masks? Or even a clear face-shield type mask that just
pushes what you exhale out and around the sides of it? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There isn’t any. Not a single study that says beyond a
shadow of a doubt or at least with any kind of accuracy, that wearing masks
and/or face shields will protect us or those around us from contracting the
virus. Yet the government of our states and even other states and countries
throughout the world have mandated wearing a mask in public – and even in some
cases in your own home. How is it that the government can mandate cloth mask
use when there is no evidence-based research that supports it, when if I did
the same thing in my practice, I could be in violation of my code of ethics?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Even our own Dr. Faucci has retracted what he originally
stated on national TV and has said that mask wearing and social distancing will
not prevent the spread of COVID-19. What? Then why are we still wearing masks,
social distancing, and closing businesses and schools, parks and medical institutions
that perform medical procedures year round? Misinformation? Mass media
fear-mongering?</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I’m a pretty simple gal. And all it takes is a little
thinking about the logistics and efficacy of all of this. First of all, when in
a grocery store, how many people touch a produce item to look for blemishes and
then put it down only to pick up a different one and then do the same thing?
How many people pick up one can of olives only to realize it is the wrong one
and put it back to pick up another one. Are we going to assume everyone washed
their hands with soap and water before they came to the store? And then used
hand sanitizer before and after they touched anything? Including the bagger and
the cashier that slides our food choices toward the bagger? What about those
that touch those itchy masks, and then touch something, including children who can’t
tolerate wearing a mask and have the audacity to use their God-given right to breathe
in that store? The same goes for grocery delivery services – someone is picking
out your food for you, touching it, and delivering it. It only takes one person
who wipes their itchy nose, smudging their mask down a bit, and then doesn’t
use hand sanitizer, right? When you look at it that way, it seems like whatever
could be airborne is just one piece of the puzzle – especially when there is no
proof that wearing thin cotton or polyester masks are actually doing anything
to prevent the spread of the virus. How small is the virus? How small are the
holes between the mask fibers? I can tell you that I can see the holes between
the cloth mask fibers, and I can’t see the virus, so I’m pretty sure my logic
right there means that the virus is not being held back by a simple cloth mask.
But that isn’t the point, is it?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But don’t forget about social distancing. Doesn’t that help
with reducing the virus? If we can’t get close enough for them to breathe on
us, then that will keep us safe, right? FIRST of all, if social distancing
worked, why do we have to wear masks? And if masks worked, why would we have to
social distance? And are we social distancing when we meet with our doctor in a
confined space? Are we ignoring the fact that they have been in that same
confined space with over 20 other individuals that day alone? Are we ignoring the
fact that the flu kills people every year? Tuberculosis? Cancer? Why don’t we
just wear ineffective masks year round to protect everyone that may have a weak
immune system? Why don’t we close down small businesses so that large companies
can take over the market and become monopolies? Why don’t we kick hard working
Americans while they are down and only trying to provide for their families?
Because we might protect them? Or because we are pretending that these
ridiculous measures are actually helping anything?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m confused. People are being forced to wear masks to
protect the health of everyone else? Since when has my personal safety and
health been everyone else’s job? If everyone cared about my health so much,
then why did I have to go for years without going to a doctor because I
couldn’t afford outrageously priced health insurance AND life-saving and
quality-of-life saving medication that my son and I needed for our medical
conditions? Why didn’t anyone demand that the major pharmaceutical companies
involved make a lower-priced generic product so that my health was protected?
Where was the public rallying around me when one of my surgeries went wrong and
the doctor that performed it was not held liable? Why did no one stand up for
my health and well-being when I was in so much pain I couldn’t work or take
care of my own family? Why is no one standing up for the mental health of all
of the people who are dying by suicide in isolation because they lost their job
and can’t socialize with others? Why weren’t they there? Because it wasn’t
their job to be there. I am responsible for my own health and safety – we all
are. Do we have a moral obligation to help if we can? Sure. But my moral
obligation to someone else does not come at the expense of my own rights. That
kind of defeats the purpose of the constitution. And the fact that the
government is the one forcing us to do this is also suspect, isn’t it? And not
only because they have forced ineffective methods on us. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So their argument is that if I choose to not wear a mask, I
am selfish? When I wear a mask that reduces MY oxygen levels and ability to
think properly, that is not proven to protect myself or others, why is that
selfish? I can think of a whole lot of other things that sound “selfish” but we
aren’t being forced to do them. Do you still think it is only about public
health? Or could it be about compliance?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">You’ve all heard of Pavlov and operant conditioning, right?
People (and animals) can be trained into believing and reacting to something
that isn’t even what they originally thought they were reacting to. All it takes is trained
compliance. So why does the government want us to be compliant? That is a good
question, and I hope each of you have asked yourself that. Why did Nazi Germany
require all Jews to wear a red Star of David on their clothing? Why did they
require good and law abiding citizens to report when Jews didn’t wear one?
Because they were TOLD it was for the good of their state. And the general
public believed it. Is it possible that we are falling for something similar? Citizens
of Germany truly thought that they were protecting the health and well-being of
their country, when instead they were essentially sentencing millions of Jews
(and their fellow citizens – Jew or not) to death. It started with something small
– like mandatory Star of David wearing on clothing. And slowly they built up
those mandates until it was too late. After they train us to comply and wear a
mask, isolate ourselves away from loved ones and others that may be free
thinkers, force businesses to close and jobs to be lost, schools to close, will
they force compliance on a vaccine that is nowhere near ready for mass
production and deliverance? Again – evidence-based practice? It is not about
COVID-19. Have you figured that out yet? The government is not looking out for
everyone’s health right now, and if masks worked, they would provide us with
heavy duty gas masks, right? Have you figured out that it is not about our
health yet? If it were, they would be using sound science and research that
everyone else has to live up to except them. I’m training to become a speech
therapist, not a medical doctor, yet my code of ethics is higher than what they
are mandating. And before you say that desperate times call for desperate
measures, I’m not sure a virus that has a 97% recovery rate for the majority of
individuals that contract it is desperate times. In fact, I’m not even sure
that constitutes as a technical “pandemic,” at least not without calling the
common cold, childhood cancer, autism and other medical diagnosis a pandemic as
well. Seriously. Please tell me that you have considered all these things
already.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">But the numbers!! The numbers are going up, right? I’d say
that is hard to say. Who is reporting the numbers? The mass media? Please refer
to my previous posts for that. If a person has cancer and is already in the
hospital dying of cancer and then gets COVID-19, did he die of cancer, or COVID-19?
If a person with COVID-19 falls off of a 10 ft ladder and dies, did he die from
the fall, or COVID-19? These are real cases!! Please look them up. If a person
can get tested 4 times at different testing centers on the same day and two of
those tests come back positive and two come back negative, which test result is
correct? And are they counting both of those positive tests for the same person
as one result? Or two? Or did we forget the evidence-based practice when
creating coronavirus testing kits as well? OH, you mean the majority of rushed
testing kits that test for any of 30+ strains of coronavirus that have been
around forever and cause the common cold? You mean those tests can’t always
decipher if it is regular coronavirus or COVID-19 that you are testing positive
for? Is that why some who test positive have NO symptoms, and others have
life-threatening complications? I’m just trying to ask the questions we should
all be asking instead of just complying with something that has not been based
on any kind of sound research or clinical evidence. And we are falling for it! Is
there at least a little bit of doubt that something is not right in this
situation? In a court of law we have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt… and as
far as I’m concerned there are a lot of doubts stacking up here. Could there be
a different agenda? Could there be a reason why compliance is the goal and not
public health and safety? Of course. Have you learned anything from our
history?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve mentioned this in a previous post, but where is the
pro-choice movement on this issue? As a woman especially, I have the right to
choose what I do with my body, right? Even if it harms the health or even kills
an unborn human baby. Right? It is my choice to decide what I do with my body
and when. Then why do I not have the right to choose if I wear a mask or not?
Especially if it has not been proven to increase the health of those around me?
And who is fighting for all of those living unborn babies and their health and
safety?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And if it is my responsibility to protect the health and
safety of everyone else around me, then I choose to keep a firearm on me at all
times. Why? Because you might need to be saved from certain death when someone
tries to harm or kill you. That is my responsibility, right?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And why isn’t everyone taking in homeless people who have no
protections against COVID-19? If everyone else’s health is the priority and the
motive behind wearing masks, then why aren’t government officials requiring we
wear masks taking homeless people into their own homes and providing them an
opportunity to bathe and sanitize and stay out of the elements so they don’t
contract COVID-19 or give it to anyone else?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">And do you ever wonder if we would know that we are in a
pandemic if the media hadn’t told us? Are people dropping dead around us left
and right? Are 90% of its victims losing their battle? Or is there a 97%
recovery rate?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m just saying that we need to look closer at the motives
and the reason they want us to comply. We need to demand that science back up
their claims, and NOT science from the companies that are profiting the most
from COVID-19 (that is called BIAS). We need to understand that there is
definitely reasonable doubt and according to our own justice system, their
argument would not hold up in court.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So why are we still complying? Why are we telling on those
that aren’t complying? Why are we acting like our freedoms aren’t in the
balance, and our way of life has not already been threatened and taken over? We
are doing this willingly. What next? Concentration camps for the vulnerable to “protect”
them? When will we decide that enough is enough? Again, have we learned nothing
from our history?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I haven’t been posting proof, because I feel that people are
more likely to learn and understand if they do their own research and find out
for themselves. But we are weary and I fear we are running out of time. But
please, at least read the following segments of what make up the freedoms in
our nation: </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Declaration of
Independence</i>: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable
Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That
to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of
Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to
alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation
on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Constitutional
Amendment 14 section 1</i>: “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor
shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due
process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So again I ask, is my right to breathe an unalienable right?
What about my right to provide for my family? I think so, otherwise, what is
the point?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please don’t give up. Please don’t blindly follow. We are
not sheeple, but rather individuals that have unalienable rights. If you have a lot of questions and want
to learn more, please watch here: <span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://www.bitchute.com/video/bZ2yliCyu373/">https://www.bitchute.com/video/bZ2yliCyu373/</a></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When I was in high school, my friend and I chose the
“Pro Life” argument side for our senior paper and debate. We did so much
research that we had a stack full of note cards of references and quotes and
facts. However, during the debate, and after finding out that my friend and I
were more prepared and had more evidence to support our side, the “Pro Choice”
team started attacking our characters and our religion and our heritage in a
discriminatory way instead of providing evidence for their side of the argument.
I learned a hard lesson that day – that even though you have facts and research
on your side, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the other side will listen,
no matter how lacking they are in their information and facts. My point is, when did it
become okay to attack people for having opposing ideas? And more importantly
today, when did it become okay to censor them by preventing them to even say or
present their opposing ideas and research and facts in the first place?
Everyone in that classroom agreed that my friend and I won the debate that day
– however, not a single person in that room said they would change their mind
about their position on the matter. And that’s okay. I wasn’t expecting to
change anyone’s mind. I was however expecting people to think about what we
presented and respect the research and facts <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>– because if we aren’t basing our actions and
possible change on truth, then what are we basing it on? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve been thinking a lot about forced compliance and
censorship and the shutting down of opposing ideas recently. It is a fine line
that big media is playing right now – pretending to represent both sides
fairly, limiting the influence of opposing arguments, and downright making up
false negative narratives about people with opposing ideas so that they can
falsely discredit them. Did you know that in 2013 one of our US presidents legalized the
use of propaganda on the citizens of the United States? You can read it for
yourself in HR 4310. And for some reason, everyone missed the significance of
that. And what happened to all of my friends that are “Pro Choice”? The ones
that said I have the right to choose what I do with my own body – oh, except if
I want to choose not to wear a mask during the plandemic. Right. Remember that
the people who are trying to influence popular opinion in their favor own the
major news, media and social media stations? The bias is overwhelming, unjust
and un-American. Just consider these quotes from Nazi Germany (Hitler and his <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Reich Minister of Propaganda</span>):<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and
eventually they will believe it.” Adolf Hitler.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate
itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to
reach.” <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Adolf Hitler</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“If you tell a lie
big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people
from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus
becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress
dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension,
the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” Joseph Goebbels </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“The most brilliant
propagandist technique will yield no success unless one fundamental principle
is borne in mind constantly – it must confine itself to a few points and repeat
them over and over.” Joseph Goebbels </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Through clever and
constant application of propaganda, people can be made to see paradise as hell,
and also the other way round, to consider the most wretched sort of life as
paradise.” Adolf Hitler</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">“Think of the press
as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” Joseph Goebbels </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So let’s change focus for a bit and remember why freedom of
speech and freedom in general is something worth fighting for. Before we all
came to earth, our spirits lived in Heaven with God. There were two plans offered. Satan wanted to force all the
children of God to comply (forced compliance – sound familiar?) and to believe.
Jesus wanted every child of God to choose for him or herself and then provide a
Savior knowing that they would make mistakes. The first plan does not allow
room for any growth or progression. If you are forced to do something, then you
really aren’t building your character by having to weigh the pros and cons and
deciding for yourself, learning, and continually having to work on that
growth and progress. And what is the whole purpose of our existence? To progress. That’s
why progress is “damned” when you can no longer move forward.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As a parent I can tell you that it is hard to watch my
children stumble and make mistakes. It is hard to work tirelessly to teach them
what they should do, and then step back and let them choose for themselves.
When learning to walk, it is often hard to watch our children fall. But if we
didn’t give them the opportunity to fall, then they wouldn’t become the strong,
typically developing children that they need to become so that they can
continue to learn and grow. We can’t have it both ways. We can’t say we want
our children to grow up strong and physically able, and also say, no, I will
always carry them and make all of their decisions for them so that they will
never fall. It is just something that comes with the territory of growth – the
opportunity to fall – make mistakes – choose the less ideal path – get hurt
along the way. Now let’s think about this in terms of human rights, freedoms
and government overstepping.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One mentality says that because one person drank and drove,
causing an accident, no one can ever drink alcohol anymore because they might
drive and cause an accident – thus controlling the possibility of that initial
choice. The other mentality is that you have the ability to choose if you
drink, however if there is driving and an accident involved, then you will have
consequences. (The same two sides could go for owning a firearm, or forcing
condom use because it might protect the other person from pregnancy or an STD, or
choosing to wear a mask in public or not). Learning and growth isn’t for the faint of
heart, and when you involve an entire society of individuals that have the
opportunity to make their own decisions it can be an extremely difficult thing
to have to go through sometimes, especially when innocent people who are not
involved in an individual’s initial decision, are harmed. But without that type
of scenario, we cannot “prove” ourselves to God – we cannot progress and learn
from our mistakes and repent and obtain forgiveness and then try to do better
and make things better in the world. Can’t you see? Removing the option to make
the mistake in the first place is not the way to achieve learning and growth,
even though there may be casualties along the way. Our life right now is tragic
and challenging and very ethically difficult at times, but this is the plan
that Jesus endorsed – and in fact offered to sacrifice himself for. Why?
Because this is the only way we can truly progress – line upon line and precept
upon precept. “For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things.
If not so…righteousness could not be brought to pass, nether wickedness,
neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad…” 2 Nephi 2:11. In other
words, without opposition in all things, there would be no reason to prove
ourselves. If there was only ever “happy” then we would never be “happy”
because we would not have “sad” to compare it to. So ask yourself, what is the
purpose of the media to shut down opposing ideas if not to force their agenda or
propaganda on our society? </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes it would seem easier to just eliminate the possibility
of that error or lack of judgment or innocent bystander harm. It seems logical
and like it would make everyone happy. But essentially, you would have to take
away the rights of everyone, which would “damn” everyone’s progress, and when
you can’t move forward you can’t find joy or true happiness. “And it must needs
be that the devil should tempt the children of men, or they could not be agents
unto themselves; for if they never should have bitter they could not know the
sweet –” D&C 29:39. It is interesting to remember though, that we were
never meant to have to endure this “growing season” on earth with our physical
bodies on our own. Jesus Christ is and always will be there to lift us up,
support us, and guide us when we seek His help. “And ye shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free,” John 8:32. Free from what? Free from sin
and oppression and darkness.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So that brings us back to this question: Why has there been
so much fearmongering by the media lately? Because when you cause widespread
fear, and then “propose” the solution to that fear to be something in the
people’s favor (or what seems to be in their favor), than people are more
likely to go along with it. Have we learned nothing from our history? Oh yeah,
those same elite own our textbook companies and invest in public education
curriculum and the narrative of our history. Just for a refresher for anyone
who wants to do their own research…</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">IF you think about it, if these things are removed or
severely controlled, it is a lot easier to make the sheeple in a country comply
with whatever you are wanting them to comply with for “the greater good of the
state”:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">1. Removing or severely limiting freedom of speech</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">2. Removing the right to bear arms and the right to protect your own family<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">3. Removing the ability to worship
freely - many of our ancestors came here to get away from that!<br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0.5in;">4. Removing the freedom of the
press (or overtaking it and slanting or changing the truth and pushing propaganda)</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Seriously, have we learned nothing from our history? What
was the narrative during WWII? And why did the people go along with it? Because
they were told it was for the good of their state. So why do we herald those
who stood up against it and saved lives heroes? Because they were able to
figure out for themselves what was actually going on – and brave enough to
stand up against it. And many lost their lives for doing so. Many think the
United States could never fall into that category. All I can say to that is
that for as long as there has been good, there has also been evil. Please be
aware. Please research and find your own facts. I’m not asking you to change
your position based on what I say or show you. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you; For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened,”
Matthew 7: 7-8.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please find an uncensored news and social media source and
learn the facts before you blindly push an agenda that you don’t know about or the reason behind. If
you need help finding resources that contain truth – please reach out. Sheeple
are waking up and seeing what is going on – I mean really seeing. If you look
hard enough, you will find truth. And let’s not forget the Holy Ghost who
testifies of truth. If you see and truly ask, you can and will find the truth for
yourself. You are not alone. We are not alone. I know that we are weary from
everything that we see the media (including social media) telling us – so do
your own research. You don’t hear the other side telling you that. You hear
them saying to believe the narrative they are telling you. So please, for the
sake of our freedoms and well-being, be brave, take a step back, and do your own
research.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free.” John 8:32</p>

infiltrated. It’s not about conspiracy theorists trying to cause fear. It’s
about good versus evil, and what the media is telling us that is happening on
the surface, when below the surface everything that we know and love is being
held in balance. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I am neither eloquent nor really smart. But what I am is
concerned, not just for our country, but for the human population as a whole.
When you start to investigate – and I mean REALLY investigate, without the
influence of big media or what people are saying on the surface, things start
to become clear. I was recently reading about the Gadianton Robbers – the evil
that caused both the destruction of the Jaredite Nation (Ether Chapter 8) and
Nephite Nation (Helaman chapters 2 and 6) you can find these statements in the
chapter headings: “Modern Gentiles are warned against the secret combination
that will seek to overthrow the freedom of all lands, nations, and countries,”
and, “The robbers take over the Nephite government.” This unfortunately is not
new to the human race. This has to do with the root of all evil and the lying,
deceiving and cunning abilities of evil that will always be there until
banished from this world.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I’ll preface this with the fact that I was very comfortable
being one of the sheeple in the masses. I appreciated being told that all is
well and that the illusion of everything around us is just what it seems on the
surface. However, at some point I had to reconcile with myself that even if I
just go by the people that I have met and interacted with in my small circle of
human interaction, everything is not always as it seems on the surface. I don’t
like to make scenes or incite conflict, so unfortunately the people who seem to
be drawn to me are the ones that want to take advantage of me. I can relate
personal experience after personal experience of people who I thought were good
friends of mine, and how I found out the hard way that they didn’t care at all
about me or my family – and because I was blinded by their charming and
eloquent ways, my family and I have been blindsided, more than once. And I keep
falling for it. So I can’t be the only one, right?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">This morning I felt a call to speak up about it. Not a call
from myself or my desire to make waves – because if it were up to me I would be
more than happy to wait for others to feel the need to do that so I could sit
back and observe in my little sheeple pasture. But today a higher power has
opened my heart up to the possibility that I have a voice through written
words, and that I needed to use it. Not something that I really wanted to hear
at 4:30am this morning. But nonetheless, here I am, trusting that people have
the right to know that all is not well. They have the right to know that what
is going on will affect them on such a basic freedom level – not if – but when –
which means EVERYTHING is at stake. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">First of all, I know you are asking what makes me think that
my eyes have been more opened than your eyes. And I can tell you, the skeptical
passive peacemaker that I am was not super open to the idea that there were
deep and dark forces acting below the surface. Like I made mention to above,
people and institutions have really screwed me and my family over the last
several years, and hoping that the rest of the world is not like that just
doesn’t make sense. People are subject to human fallacies. And people are drawn
to power and security and wealth. No matter my desire to believe that all
people are generally good and have good intentions, I know for a fact that that
is not true. And people would rather be told that all is well rather than know
that really scary and evil things could be going on right below our noses. Case
in point, also true.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">My eye openness started with “conspiracy theories,” a term
coined by the CIA in the 1960’s, and with a negative connotation attached to
it. Conspiracy theories weren’t considered negative until then. In fact,
conspiracy theories have been the impetus for the search for answers and solutions
for a long time. We’ve probably all heard our fair share of conspiracy
theories, and think that the people who come up with them are crazy, and I used
to think that too. Until I started to do my own research. There is so much
public information out there, but there are very few means whereby to get that
information – the main source being the mainstream media – conglomerates that
all work together and who are all owned by the same high powered and wealthy
individuals – yep – every single major news station. Could they possibly all
have the same agenda? Absolutely. The day I learned that Google was possibly biased
and maybe corrupt, I didn’t want to believe it. Why? Because that would make my
life more complicated. That would make me have to think harder and react
smarter. Why would certain search topics be diverted to certain media responses
that all said the same thing? Why were all dissenting arguments being held at
bay and when one may have surfaced, the same mainstream media discredited it as
soon as it did? And to think that my first major was journalism. Something
about focusing on the facts to tell stories resonated deeply with me. But now
I’m glad I changed my major. I feel bad for those “journalists” that feel like
they are making a difference out there. Instead, they are pushing someone
else’s agenda.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">It’s a hard pill to swallow. It is a hard idea and concept
to accept – that these major corporations don’t have our best interests in mind
– but rather their own? Because if that is true, than really, who can we trust?
The mainstream media rules the airwaves and the American people hang on their
every word, obvious bias or not, because they are supposed to be impartial and
based on facts and they are our sources of legitimate information, right? Have
we been that conditioned that we don’t even see it? Yes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Over the last few months I’ve watched news stations from other
countries around the world and realized how their citizens are shown news
stories that we aren’t. Other countries have been rioting in their streets to
get the citizens of the United States of America’s attention because most of
them are fighting for their freedoms and families and have already been down
the road that our country is currently trying to go down. They are pleading for
us to see, really see what is going on and to quit pretending that everything
is going to be okay because big companies that we’ve grown to love and trust
have our best interests in mind. Do you see the problem with that? If I, in my
42 years of life have encountered multiple people who have sought to
physically, emotionally and spiritually abuse and harm me and my family – some
succeeding in a very painful way, then why do I trust extremely powerful and
wealthy people who couldn’t have made it to the top without stepping on a few
of the little guy’s toes on the way? Why are people in other countries rioting
to get our attention, only for our news sources not to cover it? And why are
their news stations reporting on things that are happening in the United States
that we NEVER see on our news stations here? Then you have to wonder what they
might have to hide. Do I have your attention yet?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The rabbit hole is long and deep and includes several public
cover-ups that have been buried so deep in the media that they are either
impossible to find, or are made to look like crazy people invented them. I had
to take this rabbit hole in very tiny baby steps. It is heart wrenching and
disgusting and anger inducing, the amount of lies and fabrications that we have
been fed. It is overwhelming to say the least. Why? Because we have been
conditioned to think that the possibility of deception is outrageous,
essentially questioning our own sanity for even stepping through this rabbit
hole and the possibility of everything that it opens up to us. But seriously.
Our freedom of speech is hanging by a thread. Social media outlets that are
also owned by these same elite media owners have been silencing specific voices
for a long time now – and it has been more obvious than not recently. We
literally have no where to turn to get REAL news and information that has not
been filtered, adjusted, and even completely fabricated in some way.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">But since going through that rabbit hole and swallowing the
“red pill” it is so obvious that the truth has been surrounding us this whole
time – and I see it regularly now! We’ve just been force-fed lies for so long
that that was and is our norm. It hurts to think how many innocent people that
have realized this sooner than me, who have been silenced for trying to help
the rest of us see – it seems impossible. It also scares me, but I feel like I
can’t be part of that silent heard of sheeple that aren’t going to take a stand
and demand better, demand honesty and transparency and human decency – and not
because it is politically correct or because we want our friends to see us
backing a cause that passionately moves us – but because it is the right thing
to do. And honestly, I’m not sure I believe in everything that I have since
learned, but I do believe in some of it – which is enough to make me question
all of it. Vaccines – and the epidemic of autism in our country right now. The
CIA and projects/programs used AGAINST the American people. Gun control and
communist ties. An outdated education and higher education system that is
failing our children. Child sex-trafficking and the elite, Hollywood, and
satanic rituals. The fake news - all bought and paid for. Fluoride – a poison –
mandated to be in our drinking water. Big pharma and their control of medical
treatments and studies. Lobbying and corruption in congress. The truth behind
the Black Lives Matter campaign. Different political parties and their link to
slavery. What is happening to the Jewish people in New York City right now?!
Immigration and the truth of the wall. COVID-19 and the many doctors that have
come out about the plandemic – causing government to overstep and force
mandates on us that are unconstitutional. Unemployment. Political and community
chaos. Government bureaucracy. A plethora of agencies to help individuals and
families with no real ability to actually help those in need. Due process that
has been ignored or twisted. Government simulations of things that are
happening right now. Population control. The truth (or falsehood) about global
warming and airplane contrails. The list goes on and though I used to think
that people who brought all of this up were crazy and had nothing better to do
with their time than find things to bicker and make crazy assumptions about –
and some may be those people – I know now that it runs deeper than that, and
many of the people behind them are ordinary people who have truth they are
trying to share.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">There are evil forces at work here. Isaiah 5: 20 says “Woe
unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and
light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” We’ve all
been given the ability to think and act for ourselves. We’ve been given eyes to
see and ears to hear. Now we just need to make sure that we are looking at and
hearing the things that aren’t tainted with bias, or complete lies. And how do
we do that in this day and age when Google is supposed to know everything, and
finding information without Google is extremely difficult? Well, accepting the
fact that we may not be able to trust Google and the other major media outlets
that rule the free world is a start. Doubting that everyone has your best
interest in mind is a start. Understanding that good may be shown to us as evil
and evil may be shown to us as good is a start. Maybe asking for discernment
from God, and accepting the answers that are given, no matter how hard to
swallow. Maybe deciding that you will no longer stand by and watch while evil
happens right before you, even though hidden. And maybe making a decision to
say something or stand up for something or fight for something that you want to
preserve for yourself and your children. And again, not because it is the most
recent fad or tag line. But because you truly care about justice and freedom
and our way of life. This path will not be easy, but really, is there any other
way? Is there any other way to maintain our freedoms – whichever are most
sacred to you – than to fight against those who are trying to take those
freedoms away in such a sleek and smooth manner to make us think that there is
nothing wrong with our system and the people involved with it?<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">If the Nephite and Jaredite nations had taken a deeper look
and had been outraged by what they saw or failed to see, would they have fought
for their freedoms and their families a little harder? Getting too comfortable
– and accepting everything at face value even knowing that there is always a
deeper root or cause - is when we need to worry. We can’t afford to be
complacent any longer.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">And again, it is not about political party or any specific
charge or group. It is about our lives and freedoms. It is about the steps and
chaos that have led every socialist and communist country down their paths,
taking the sheeple and their needs and concerns and ideas out of every equation,
until they no longer have a voice at all. HAVE WE NOT LEARNED ANYTHING FROM OUR
HISTORY? Oh yeah, probably not – because our textbooks are also written and owned
by the same elite and media moguls that are feeding us lies.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">I believe most of us are good people and have a general
desire to do good and not harm. I believe that we have been fooled into
thinking that there is nothing sinister going on. I believe that we are all in
the same boat, meaning that we all have to come to an understanding on our own
about what is happening all around us. We’ve already been told that what caused
the destruction of ancient civilizations is threatening modern day governments.
I don’t think it is anything different. It is pure evil – orchestrated by Satan
himself – and his rituals and methods that have never left. Those who
participate have just gotten very good at being two-faced. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So if everything is so corrupt, how do we make a difference?
We make a difference one person at a time. As you decide that you no longer
want to be a sheeple, and you make yourself aware and do your own research
instead of depending on others to do it for you, you are starting to make a
difference. I don’t have all of the answers, but I do know that normal people
like us who care about our future can do something. They can write a blog post,
share with their friends and family, and stand up for what’s right no matter
the backlash. Because that is what they want. They want to instill fear and
chaos and bully us into submission – whether we are aware of what they are
doing or not! They already track our every move, sensor our every attempt to
bring truth to light, and shame us when we finally get close to finding out
what is really happening. How much worse could it get?<o:p></o:p></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Haters will hate, but I’m trying to use my voice while I
still can – with God’s encouragement. Our founding fathers fought tooth and
nail to create this great nation and to provide a place where human rights and
freedoms are more important than wealth and power. That has to mean something. I’m
not interested in contending with those who have not already searched and
figured things out on their own yet – if all of your “facts” can only be traced
back to the media and whatever spin on the truth benefits them the most, then I
suggest you double check those facts with non-media sources. The truth is out
there and I urge you to do your own research and find out for yourself. If you
look hard enough, you will find it. <o:p></o:p></p><p><br /></p>Michelle Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05415348029571218654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385574799948521167.post-75859730917301071482016-11-08T08:36:00.001-08:002016-11-08T08:39:05.764-08:00Bam!

<div class="MsoNormal">
When you are 19 years-old, healthy and happy, the last thing
you expect to hear is that you have a 50% chance of inheriting a degenerative
brain disease. Most people think about inheriting money, or blue eyes. Not me.
Well, yes, me too. But it’s kind of hard to think about, let alone appreciate
that kind of inheritance, when you are thinking about the possibility of
inheriting the crude ability of becoming a vegetable right around middle-age.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Huntington’s Disease. It’s like having Alzheimer’s, Multiple
Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, psychological disorders, and depression (both
clinically and because of loss of brain cells), all at the same time, and
progressively getting worse over time. They call someone like me, with an
affected parent, “at risk”. And not surprisingly, those who are at risk and get
the genetic testing done to tell them whether or not they have a very likely
chance or not of starting symptoms around middle age, and test positive, have a
high rate of suicide. After seeing a parent go through the progressive brain
disease, the last thing you can cope with and handle is the fact that you will
end up the same way. It kind of makes you appreciate inheriting thick ankles,
or moles, or small breasts.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is difficult to explain what goes through your head when
your father comes back from rigorous neurological and psychological testing to
figure out what is wrong with him, only to come back and explain that he has a
disease that will take over both his mind and body before he is 40, and that by
the way, you also have a 50% chance of inheriting it from him. Fifty percent.
That’s like flipping a coin, and bam! You have Huntington’s Disease.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Surprisingly it wasn’t the outward appearance of the disease
that scared us so much in my dad. He would have uncontrollable “chorea”
movements, or his limbs would lash out and then become rigid for a while, and
he would eventually have to use a cane to walk. But that was unnervingly
natural and understandable. What we weren’t prepared for was the loss of his
inhibitions, or his ability to comprehend consequences, and basic right and
wrong. He did things that we never would have imagined that our virtuous, honorable,
loving and kind father could have done. He was a completely different person,
let alone the father who had been my knight in shining armor. It was both
shocking and emotionally overwhelming to comprehend that this was our new
reality, the whole while the very real possibility of me becoming the same anomaly
in the future heavy on my mind.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I think that ignorance saved me at first. I didn’t quite
understand the magnitude of my situation and what it meant for my future. Not
to mention my biological brother and sister and what it could mean for them as
well. But all of the sudden I started wondering if it was worth it to continue
paying for my college education, if I should get married and have children –
possibly passing it on to them. I wondered if I was taking enough pictures and
writing in my journal enough to remember my memories that could be taken from
me. I wondered if every twitch of my muscles was the start of a soon to be devastating
decline in my muscle control or if every angry outburst was the beginning of
many uncontrollable future ones. At nineteen, at the point where I was just
starting to figure out my life and what to do with it, I became frozen in a
terrifying land of “what if’s”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And of course you expect that you will be able to handle things.
Everything would be okay. You have your faith, your family, and your friends.
But then the fear that came, only after watching my dad’s symptoms increase
exponentially, was disconcerting. That is when reality hit hard.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why me, right? Why my dad, my family? I was not strong
enough to fight this let alone fight it well. I didn’t know how to become that
pillar of strength my mom needed, my siblings needed, my soon to be fiancé
needed. Not to mention my 5 younger adopted siblings, 3 of which have disabilities
and challenges of their own to face every day. How was I going to overcome the
distressing chill of despair that was snaking its way around my heart and my
consciousness? How does one come to terms with the fact that their life could
be cut short? But then knowing that even before that, their quality of life
will decrease continuously until their dying brain can no longer keep them
alive. And all of this while oblivious to their loved one’s sacrifices in
caring for them, and heartache over their hurtful and flippant behavior. Suddenly
I felt like I was in a bad, sad ending, drama movie.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So the next issue was whether or not to be tested. But does
anyone ever really want to know that they have a ticking time bomb inside their
head that will go off at an unknown time in the prime of their life? What kind
of life would that be? One of constant worry and anxiety? But on the other
hand, knowing that you don’t have it would bring peace and relief. But just
like that coin, it could land on heads, and then knowing you do have it and
symptoms will come, would probably be unbearable to live with. With marriage
and children in the near future, would I change my life decisions if I knew
that I had it?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The short answer is no. The long answer, in all honesty, was
more like a yes. I’d like to think that it wouldn’t affect my life decisions to
that extent, but when it really came down to it, I knew that it would. Besides,
it would be irresponsible for me to not take it into consideration, wouldn’t
it? Could I live with myself knowing that my future husband not only had to
care for me, but also our child or children if we all had Huntington’s Disease?
Could I live with myself knowing that I cursed my child with the same
foreboding fate by bringing him into this world knowing that just a flip of a
coin could determine that he would have this devastating disease too? I was
embarrassed to realize that when faced with an impossible decision, selfishness
won out. I had to know. I had to have that knowledge that I convinced myself
would give me power or some semblance of control in this sordid situation. But as
it turns out, genetics testing was just the beginning in this adventure we call
life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can’t explain the wave of deliverance that washed over me
when my brother and sister and I all tested negative. Ironically, we had beaten
the coin toss odds, the three of us. For some reason we were spared that one
hardship in this journey. Now I find myself asking, “why me”? Why was I spared,
and not my dad? I mean, isn’t it enough that he has hemophilia (inherited from
his mom)? Why did he also have to inherit Huntington’s Disease from his dad?
I’m not sure when, but eventually I also had to come to terms with the fact
that yes, it’s okay that I <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">don’t</i> have
Huntington’s Disease. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
What I’ve learned is that my family was given this
experience in life for some reason, and we needed to embrace it for what it
was: an unfortunate circumstance that could bring us together, or pull us apart
- an opportunity to see what our true characters are made of. No one wants to
live with “what if’s,” but I can tell you most assuredly, that knowledge can be
power, but also sometimes, ignorance is bliss. </div>

My family used to have fun all of the time. We would go camping together, swim
together, play games together, or have picnics and BBQ’s together. We were far
from perfect, but my family was definitely having a very great time along the
way. We were also very religious together. Our faith kept us strong, and our
love and hope moved us forward. <br /><br />
Then things changed. Dad was forgetting things all of the time. At his office
or at home, there were post-it notes everywhere, even in his shirt pocket. We
thought that he had just been too stressed and needed a little more support.
But soon thereafter he started to forget how to shift the gears in his car, to
stop at red lights, and how to back up the car straight. He was very confused
and troubled about his new found situation. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">He
also started yelling and having angry outbursts all of the time. Any little
thing could spark a raging voice. It was easier to avoid his path then to
possibly encounter his unpredictable wrath. He never seemed happy anymore. And
we never knew when his Jeckel/Hyde complex would switch. It was that simple. He
was nice and fun, or mean and hurtful.<br /><br />
Then it was time. There had been rumors in the family that both my grandpa and
my grandpa’s brother had a disease. The family had been very quiet about it and
we hadn’t heard much because my grandpa and grandma had divorced a short time
before my dad was born. Consequently, we did not have a whole lot of contact
with my grandpa’s family. After taking into consideration many suspicions, my
dad soon decided to see a neurologist. Then, a few months and a few more
doctors later came the diagnosis: he had Huntington’s disease, a degenerative
brain disease. This was only the beginning.</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />
Mom and dad sat my brothers, sisters and I down to tell us about the disease.
They also explained that they decided to rewrite their wills and create a new
trust. They planned for when my dad would leave work and go on disability,
adjusting his life insurance and other tedious things. But I remember the
conversation vividly when they mentioned how my mom had planned to care for my
dad when he was no longer able to care for himself. </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">They did not want this disease to change our family at all. Everything would be
taken care of, the plans were made, and there would be little worry about. We
were agreed up until they told us that we each (of the biological children) had
a 50% chance of inheriting this disease.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I
admit we were moderately afraid. My sister and I were both engaged with plans
to be married, and start our own families. Okay, this news was a little more than
disturbing. It was then that we understood how real this disease was. If we had
this disease, we could possibly pass it on to our children as well. For days
there were a lot of thoughts, prayers and concerns that were voiced, but
nothing could have prepared us as well as witnessing my father struggle with
the disease first hand.<br /><br />
We started noticing his physical symptoms. While sitting still he was unable to
keep his head steady. It would bob back and forth to a silent rhythm. Sometimes
out of nowhere his hand would fly up from rest at his side, to up in front of
his face. It became very clear that he could not control the sharp or the
subtle muscle twitches that very often were outwardly visible. He also seemed
to lose his balance very easily and decided to start using a cane. </span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /><br />
We quickly realized that the reduction of stress played a very large roll in
how his physical symptoms manifested. He left his work and gave up driving. He
in some ways felt that he was abandoning his manhood and freedom, and resulting
emotions were twisted as well. Everything was very hard on him. Most of all he
was obviously frustrated with the new person he had physically become.
Depression became very evident, enough so that he opted to go on medication to
ease his ‘lows’. And after witnessing all of these things, we soon realized
that it wasn’t the physical or emotional symptoms that were the most menacing
and hardest for us to face.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">We
watched as our once moral and compassionate father, showed sides that we had
never seen. His inhibitions, moral conscience, and logical thinking were
vanishing. He became very selfish and the only emotion he displayed was anger.
He became promiscuous, devious, rude, chaotic and unpredictable. We very rarely
saw rational behavior, especially when he was spending money. And he never
displayed any kind of remorse for anything he did that was obviously hurtful to
others, including thoughts of suicide. The dad that we all knew and loved had
been replaced with a new person: one that we couldn’t respect or trust. It was
very hard to have sympathy for someone who very openly, didn’t seem to care.
The behavior changes came so quickly that we could barely contemplate mourning
for the loss of a certain aspect in our father, when the realization of another
loss would interfere, over and over again.<br /><br />
And then the ‘plan’ that had been so carefully constructed before everything
had come to the point that it had come to, changed. My mom could not function
with the realization of my dad’s new lifestyle. She could not work, raise children,
and stay emotionally stable, by constantly being aware of his latest antics. He
was unknowingly making it very hard on her by disrespecting her and her efforts
to maintain a healthy, caring relationship with him. And this was all so much
out of his character that she really didn’t even know how to react to him anymore.
She painfully decided that they needed to divorce.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There
haven’t been very many happy family outings since. Being in the same room with
my father would leave you vulnerable for an unexpected verbal attack. Being in
the same room with my mother would leave you vulnerable for an unexpected
emotional breakdown. It was hard, and we knew our family would never be the
same. I found that the faith that my father had taught us children when we were
young was barely holding the broken pieces of our family together. And hope
seemed distant: hope that things might be different, hope that things might be
like they were before the disease, hope that things might get easier, and hope
that we would stand triumphant and honorable at the end of this trial.<br /><br />
I find myself telling everyone, if you could have only known the dad that I
grew up with, the dad that taught me to play the piano, that drove me to soccer
games and cheered me on in the cold, that swiftly came to apologize in tears
after an argument, that would buy special junk food for our slumber parties,
that would honor and cherish my mother and their relationship, that taught
others about faith and Jesus Christ, that would invite the local transient home
for a warm dinner and a job opportunity, that would sacrifice wearing holes in
his clothes so that everyone else in the family could afford new clothing, that
would work hard day and night to provide for his family (sometimes holding 3
jobs at once), that would edit my English papers, that showed us how to be
patriotic, that taught us the sanctity of marriage and being chaste, that
taught us how to set up tents and cook foil dinners, that taught us how to
drive a stick shift, that was a knight in shining armor for his little girl
that adored and admired him.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I
know there is a purpose and a season for everything. But that doesn’t make
reality of the present any easier, especially when trying to explain to someone
that my dad’s Huntington’s behaviors are not who my dad really is, or was. Or
when trying to understand why I tested negative for the disease, while others
will test positive. And there isn’t hardly enough information out there to
prepare you for and to lessen the blow of this disease. Each case is different
as well as each family. Though I still experience fear, and because any kind of
change is hard, I strive every day to learn more and prepare myself better for
the things yet to come. And through my experience, this is what I have learned
thus far:<br /><br />
Hope lies in the past, with fond memories. Hope lies in the present with your
knowledge and in your support system. Hope lies in the future, with a cure.
Hope lies in our faith, and in the love that will pull us through.</span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Here are some things that I have learned from
Huntington’s disease:</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span>Laugh
a Little</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Even when you have to be serious, a
sense of humor can salvage an almost broken day. When tension and stress
are maximized, the light tug of humor can soften and ease the pain. When
my dad’s arm would fly up uncontrollably, he would wave his hand and say that
he just wanted to say “hi”. We couldn’t help but chuckle and smile.
Don’t forget to laugh, and look at things with a light-heated perspective.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span>Pray
a Lot</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Your faith, however perceived, can
make up the difference where you fall short. I believe that faith is
hope, and hope can save a lot of things. After all you can do, pray and
truly believe that things will get better. Our spiritual side can
correlate with our emotional health. And a higher power helps by filling
in the gaps, strengthening our drive, motive and resolve. I believe that
a loving Heavenly Father, hears and answers our prayers, and will comfort and
lighten our burdens in his own way and time frame.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span></span><b><span>Network of Support</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>No one can handle everything
alone. If we were meant to, we probably wouldn’t have been born into
families, or have naturally come together in societies and groups. Humans
are social, and we help lift each other up and support each other. Family
is obviously crucial. Parents, children, siblings, aunts, uncles,
grandparents all serve supportive rolls in some way. Friends, neighbors
and others we associate with also support in distinct ways. The web of
support that we spin around ourselves can be our lifeline. It can carry
us when we feel we don’t have the strength for another day. It can
encourage us, strengthen us, guide us and applaud our strengths.
Professional counselors can also help us put our struggles into perspective.
And support groups help us to understand that others share in our grief and
pain, in their own ways.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span>Constructive
Outlet</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Keep busy. When you are
working creatively or constructively on whatever project you choose, it will
help you to resist from focusing on the mere difficult side of your life, and
will open up your heart to positive alternatives. And sometimes you just
have to walk away: everyone can use a little break now and again.
It is ok to leave your struggles for an evening, a day, or even a week.
Having a favorite place, activity, etc. can recharge your emotional
batteries. So if you are feeling empty and vulnerable to anger or other
negative emotions, arrange to have your own personal uplifting time.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span></span><b><span>Personal History</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Write it now: where you were
born, your family and friends, where you have lived, fun experiences and
special occasions. Add photographs. A family who has happy visual
memories to fall back on will be better equipped to endure the worst. And
it is a great family history opportunity to be passed on through
generations. It’s also important to understand who you are before
Huntington’s disease, so that you have a clearer picture of who you will become
with Huntington’s disease (even as the caregiver or family member). If
you were prone to angry outbursts, they may increase. If you were anxious
and timid, you may now be aggressive and forceful. Stress usually changes
most of us for the worst, so figure out what kind of person you are, so you can
prepare yourself for the kind of person you may become. </span></span></span></div>

Better or for Worse</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Why do you think a marriage
commitment brings this up? HD definitely falls under the “worse”
category. The hard will get harder. The pain will increase and
emotional tension and heartache will test your bond. Have good
communication now. Write things down, and strive to make every day the
best that your relationship has seen. And don’t forget your goals and
strengths.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span>Unconditional
Love</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>It is hard to love someone that is
hateful, hurtful, deceitful and unfaithful. This disease takes away an
individual’s personality, but not their soul. Dig deep into their whole
being and love that soul, that person that you knew before the disease.
Love the person and overlook their actions because nagging and contention will
only make you forget who this individual once was, and the ability to treasure
that memory.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span><br />
Reaching Out</span></b><span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Reach out to other families like
yours who are suffering. Find strength in numbers and in serving
others. Again, it is an opportunity to forget yourself and your woes for
a moment, and think about what others are trudging through as well.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Be there for each other. Voice
your frustrations, but more often voice your love and affection towards your
family and to those you care about and who are struggling the most. Just
like we depend on others for strength and support, we can also be that
foundation to someone else.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheslChXsuFqZuQkknkadWvsJKQB5QrxLqkqwoV5TqajI17XJaqrZlq6gq1e38ToSxTX_UdeM5FiQyI27wYO8HhdfwcJ7dsOhtYM5o_FpT2w3SpmW8qHkU1LS77q5IXsi6Hn-MNU5swd8c/s1600/turtle+copyright.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheslChXsuFqZuQkknkadWvsJKQB5QrxLqkqwoV5TqajI17XJaqrZlq6gq1e38ToSxTX_UdeM5FiQyI27wYO8HhdfwcJ7dsOhtYM5o_FpT2w3SpmW8qHkU1LS77q5IXsi6Hn-MNU5swd8c/s320/turtle+copyright.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love to bake.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
problem is that I have learned that my body does not process wheat very
well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, my bowels and my
digestive tract seem to only function properly when I cut wheat completely out
of my diet.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before that, I had a lot of
pain and discomfort and all of that other good (bad) stuff around my midsection,
not to mention the dry patchy rashes I also got on my skin – mostly my upper
arms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And when it got really bad, it
felt like a dry patchy rash lined the inside of my digestive tract causing a constant
soreness and sharp pains as food passed through the whole… way… down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So obviously, I was soooo glad to figure out that wheat was
the culprit... except that it meant that my whole diet would have to
change.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And for any of you out there
that have tried to bake or even cook with wheat-substitute flours – you know that
it can be a challenge – especially if you are on a budget.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here enters Pinterest into my dilemma.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’ve found that a lot of recipes posted on Pinterest
are tried and true.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So almost 6 years
into my “no more wheat” quest, I finally started to find some promising
recipes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Who knew that a pin board for
just about anything could be the solution to my Wheat-free baking and cooking problem? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, the start of the solution anyway.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A lot of recipes called for odd ingredients
that are expensive and hard to find.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And
some things just aren’t feasible if they cost an arm and a leg or if you have
to travel across the world to get them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>However, the more I learned about different flours and leavening agents,
the easier it became to recognize recipes that I knew would work AND what
ingredients I could substitute to make the working recipe a feasible recipe for
my circumstance.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now, Wheat-free doesn’t always mean Gluten-free, but
Gluten-free always means Wheat-free.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So
Gluten- free recipes are always safe, but they never include ingredients that I
prefer to use in my flour blends like regular oat flour.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And most things taste differently with
different flours, so the rest of my family prefers to still eat wheat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I usually end up making two of everything,
unless the taste and texture is almost identical – like with oat flour blender
pancakes.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So for me, though this was a good and needed discovery for
my personal health, it adds to the daily complications that I already get to
monitor.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But you know, it is a lot
easier to deal with daily complications when you feel healthy, than when you feel
like you would rather curl up in a ball and stay in bed all day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So my quest continues as I learn and eventually find things
that work for me!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wish me luck… and
continue to post your tried and true Wheat-free and Gluten-free recipes on Pinterest so that I
can stumble across them!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I appreciate it!<br /><br />Please visit my blog for more on my wheat-free journey: <a href="http://www.wheatlovesmenot.blogspot.com/">www.wheatlovesmenot.blogspot.com</a><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
I feel like I am on a roller coaster - up and down, up and
down. And did I mention that I don’t
like roller coasters? I get sick trying
to do a cartwheel or doing a flip turn in the pool. But any time I broach the symptomatic carrier
topic, it starts all over again.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Does anyone else go through this? I am a woman.
I am a hemophilia carrier. I have
bleeding issues. They are not severe,
usually, but I still have them. When I
go to the dentist, when I strenuously exercise, when I bump something pretty
hard, and when I clumsily fall. The bruises
and bleeds come and I can feel them. I
can’t always see them. But that isn’t
good enough for my Hemophilia Treatment Center.
I guess they want me to look like a severe hemophiliac, swelling like a
balloon to acknowledge that I am a woman and I bleed too. But my son is moderate/mild, and he doesn’t
normally swell up like a balloon. We
treat him with Factor IX when he feels a bleed coming on - I don’t have to see
it to know that it is painful to him and that it affects his activity. When he has a bleed we treat it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I found a different hematologist, outside of the hemophilia
treatment center, to see if he would treat me like a mild hemophiliac…which
technically, at 28%, my Factor IX levels should diagnose me as. And that is what he told me. He said, “You <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">are</i></b> a hemophiliac”. Finally, someone heard me! So my first question is…why are symptomatic
carriers called symptomatic carriers instead of hemophiliacs? Maybe if that changed we would be treated
just like they treat the boys. My second
question is…if my factor levels are under 50%, which is the number they use to
diagnose boys, why is my hemophilia treatment center so against giving me that diagnosis
so that they can treat me?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, here is a snag that I’ve come upon, multiple
times. Each time my Factor IX levels are
tested, a different number comes back: sometimes
as high as 78%, and sometimes as low as 28%.
So here is question number three…why does it fluctuate? According to the nurse at the hemophilia
treatment center, my numbers shouldn’t fluctuate – therefore I don’t have
hemophilia. I know, the logic is not
there, but she stands by it.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So do you understand now a little bit of the roller coaster
I’ve been on? Not only emotionally up
and down with people telling me that I am crazy for thinking that I have
bleeding issues sometimes, and then finding out that I REALLY DO have bleeding
issues sometimes, and then being told that I shouldn’t have bleeding issues. What? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But the roller coaster is also up and down physically with
trying to engage in exercise programs and sports to stay healthy, and then
having to be sidelined with a joint bleed (that I really am - but not really
having). For years I had to endure these
bleeds without access to factor replacement.
And now, well, let’s just say my joints will never be the same.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So let me tell you some of the things I’ve noticed with my
fluctuating factor levels. As a
teenager, I really noticed a lot more bleeds.
I started playing soccer at age 10, and had a few ankle “injuries”, but
it wasn’t until high school soccer that I really began to notice the constant
bruising and knee and ankle “injuries”.
Yes, high school soccer is a little more competitive and that may have
contributed to the increase, but to tell me I did not have a problem and was
not experiencing the bleeds is just downright rude. I had to ice in a cold whirlpool sometimes
before every practice and home game just so I could play through the pain. If that is normal for a non-hemophiliac, then
why weren’t all of my teammates also going through the same thing? And that one time in practice after 20
minutes of working on roundhouse kicks – which led to a hip “injury” and two
weeks on crutches – must not have been related to hemophilia symptoms
either. Not to mention my wisdom teeth
extraction and two weeks of heavy bleeding, or the D&C surgery after a
miscarriage and the excessive pain and bleeding for over a month. I could go on and on. My favorite is another hip "injury" after
training for a half marathon. I was
literally down for three months. It hurt
to sit, stand, lie down, and walk. Yep,
the same exact hip that I “injured” in soccer years ago. At that point I was fed up with the roller
coaster and wanted to demand to get off.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So besides noticing my bleeding issues increasing as a
teenager, I also noticed that my levels seemed to fluctuate depending on my menstrual
cycle and what time of the month it was.
And then when I went on birth control, it seemed that my bleeding issues
almost went away completely, unless I missed a pill or took it late, and then
it would seem like my factor levels dropped drastically for a short period of
time. So my fourth question is…could
hormones play a role in Factor IX level fluctuation? And if so, is it possible to calculate when
my levels would be lowest and when they would be highest? </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
With my last pregnancy, my new hematologist decided to test
my factor levels regularly throughout the pregnancy, and then give me factor
replacement therapy after delivery for two weeks after to reduce bleeding and
to help me heal. Sure enough, as my
pregnancy progressed, my hormones increased, and my factor levels consistently increased,
peaking at 78% right before delivery. My
obstetrician, last minute, decided to give me factor replacement right<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">before</b></i>
my scheduled delivery. So I received the
factor, and eight hours later delivered my third boy. They drew blood afterward and my levels came
back at 28% (with factor still in my system!).
Really? My factor levels can
fluctuate that much within 8 hours – with factor in my system, and no one has
thought that maybe we should figure out why? Are there others out there like me?
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So here are some more questions: Why is my case so different from any other symptomatic
carrier (hemophiliac) woman with a bleeding disorder who’s factor levels don’t
fluctuate? Do they really know that they
don’t fluctuate? Have they tested
thousands of symptomatic carriers (hemophiliacs) regularly over an extended
period of time to compare data to? I
doubt it – especially because they won’t even diagnose any as having a bleeding
disorder. Why would a symptomatic
carrier (hemophiliac) woman come to be treated and get her levels tested
regularly if she is just going to be told the whole time that she doesn’t have
bleeding issues, and that every bleeding episode in her life must have another
explanation rather than hemophilia? Yep,
I’m going to ask it again…really?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can tell you this, the two weeks of factor replacement after
my last delivery made my recovery amazing.
I mean, compared to my other two deliveries: night vs. day.
I’m not only talking about the amount of bleeding (that was so much
less too!), but also the time it took to heal from the episiotomy and to just
heal in general. Wow. If I knew it could have been like that
before, maybe we wouldn’t have waited 10 years before having our last child.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So I’m asking…hemophilia symptomatic carriers – are you out
there? Let’s start talking amongst
ourselves and compare stories. Let’s
start trying to figure out what the doctors refuse to. If we have an idea of what we want to look
for, like hormone levels compared to factor levels over a long period of time,
then maybe we can go to our doctors and request it. Or if there are enough of us out there tired
of riding on the same roller coaster, maybe a factor company will have a research study
done. More diagnosed hemophiliacs mean
more business for them, right? I want to
live in that kind of world, where if I want to be diagnosed and I have the
symptoms, than I can. And not only that,
but then I can actually be treated for my symptoms too! If research studies could be done, then there
would be information out there for the doctors to finally realize that their
textbook answers will not cut it when it comes to WOMEN HEMOPHILIACS. The textbooks are wrong. I say, let’s make history and rewrite the
textbooks. It is about time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Are you out there?
Talk to your friends and neighbors.
Talk to your treatment centers and factor companies. If we work together, it will be a lot more
effective than just one voice on a blog.
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m ready to be heard!
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’m ready to walk on solid ground!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will you help me spread the word?</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
And they lived…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why can’t we use the term, “Happily ever after” anymore?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My writing style is a little different from most. You know how your English teacher would give
you all of these guidelines that you had to follow for each paper you
wrote? How many paragraphs, what had to
be in each one, etc.? Don’t get me
wrong, I can do that kind of writing (though it is not as enjoyable to
me). But it mostly stifles my
creativity! Writing and following an
outline does the same thing to me. So
hence, my novels have but a wee bit of ideas scribbled down in place of a
formal outline. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So the secret is out.
I usually don’t know what the ending to my story will be until I get to
it! In fact, most of my writing flows to
a certain extent, and the storyline unravels as I write. I love the feeling that I get when I feel that
I just can’t type fast enough as the ideas come from my mind and flow out my
fingertips. It is during those times
that I am really zoned into the story and the characters literally come alive
in my head. And usually I can picture
them like I would in a movie, and the dialogue just bubbles out. <br /> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And then I get stuck and I don’t know where the story is
going to go. This part I don’t enjoy so
much…because then it becomes more like “work”.
At this point I have to consider a few different path possibilities, weigh
the pros and cons, decide how my morals and values should be considered with
each path and ultimately what I’m really trying to accomplish with the
underlying message of the whole book. During
these times it is hard to focus and sometimes I even have to force myself to
set aside some time to try to get back into the groove again. A lot of this time is actually spent with me
reading and rereading what I have already written to get the feel of the
characters again and to hope that something will spark that flow of
uninterrupted inspiration. And quite
honestly, I have been known to offer a prayer or two about the subject matter. Interestingly enough, I knew after each of my
completed novels were finished, that they were written specifically for someone
in my life…and others like them that need to hear the specific message in the book. But I didn’t know that while I was writing
them. So for me, when I’m stuck, after
some coaxing, prodding and some divine intervention, it starts to flow
again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I don’t know that I would recommend this style of writing,
because consequently I end up having to go back to “fix” things that evolve in
a certain direction that maybe wasn’t intended at the beginning or wouldn’t
make as much sense with what was previously written. But that is all part of how it works for me. I enjoy the challenge (not necessarily in the
“stuck” stage, but before and after in the actual “flow” stages). So unfortunately this means that endings are
really hard for me. If it were up to me,
the story would just continue to be a story and would go on and on. Or it would be nice to just end everything
with “they lived happily ever after”.
But that is not how it works.
Unfortunately. I feel I have to write
to my audience and entertain them, motivate them, make them smile or move them
in some kind of way.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So just for you, I will remain “stuck” until some kind of
inspiration leads me to every detail necessary to tell the story that needs to
be told. And there you have it. It seems like a flawed process, but that is
me. For some reason I always have to do
things the hard way. You’d think I would
learn. But until then, the realness of
the story will have to be enough…and for me that is all the happily ever after
I need!</div>Michelle Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05415348029571218654noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7385574799948521167.post-39290560137240377802011-09-22T21:28:00.000-07:002011-09-23T06:22:37.590-07:00Til Death Do You Part...Computer Parts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Can you love a computer do death?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it is a valid question.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And yes, I think it <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">is</i> possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let me tell you why.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I bought a HP Pavilion laptop about five years ago, and after formatting it to fit my needs, I used it all of the time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It practically became my desktop computer and my mobile computer and my anything else I needed computer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact the best part about it was that it was mobile, and boy did it travel around with me.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Up the stairs, down the stairs, at the kitchen table, on the countertop, on the bed, at my desk, on the coffee table – there were few places it didn’t go.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My only complaint was that it only had a couple of hours of “battery life”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But since there are multiple electrical outlets just about any where I go, the cord was mobile too.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">And then it happened - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>about two years after its birth in my home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One day the poor thing just wouldn’t turn on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I didn’t even get the “blue screen of death”… I only got death.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was hopelessly gone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And then my worries started.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wondered if my data could be recovered because I had two novels saved on my hard drive that I tried to faithfully back up, but knew that I should have been better at.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So that is when it comes in handy to know a computer guy – conveniently one of which lived in my own home – and alas, my data was safe and secure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But since we cannot live without technology nowadays, I was soon shopping for a replacement laptop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My computer guy, who just happens to be my husband, suggested that I look at a new netbook, or ultra portable "mini" <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>laptop computer.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It actually made sense to me, especially since mobility seemed to be the key for me – so about four stores later we found one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>An Acer Aspire One.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And fortunately, it was love at first sight!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>First of all, it came in the color red.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Second of all, it was small and compact enough to be even more mobile than my last one.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Third of all, the battery life was a whopping EIGHT hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And did I say it had a fabulous battery life?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was sold.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course my computer guy made sure that I would have enough memory, and all of that other good stuff, but this was it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It doesn’t get any better than this, right?</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So herein lies the current problem, as I occasionally evaluate my love affair with my new computer… how do I prevent myself from loving it to death?</span></div>

<br />
<br /><div align="center">I always knew that my dad had hemophilia, and that I was a carrier, but it wasn't until I was twelve years old that I was tested and found to have lower clotting factor IX levels as well. Of course, years ago, women did not have bleeding disorders, especially hemophilia. That was it. My test results were set aside, and I was told that if I ever had a surgery I <em>might</em> need to have factor replacement. But that was a long shot, so that statement was kind of given a s a side note. However, the joint bleeds began when I started playing soccer.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br /><div align="center">I sat out many games with a "twisted" ankle, though I knew what it was; the purple and then greenish colors surrounding the back end of my feet around my ankles. To me it was obvious. "But girls don't have hemophilia." </div>If I had a quarter for every time someone said that to me...
<br />So I often iced my ankles and played thorugh the pain.
<br />"Why are you always injured?"
<br />A coach asked, and even sent me to a sport trainer to determine why my ankles were so "weak". They couldn't hear me either.
<br />
<br />
<br />But soccer was my passion, so I continued on, even through high school. It was there that I experienced my first knee and hip bleeds. I knew what they were, but often iced them before and after practice and games - and played through the pain. That was not always effective though, as the pain would get so bad that I had to use crutches and take weeks off at a time. The joints wouldn't swell enough to be obvious, but I could see the discoloration of the bleeding under the skin - especially after icing each joint. I knew, but know one would listen.
<br />
<br />And then there was that time that I fell really hard and my elbow landed on a metal slide. It swelled up so big that a tiny scratch on my skin split apart. The x-ray revealed that there was not a broken bone - just a hematoma. Or as I would call it, a bleed. But that was considered normal swelling, even for a person without a bleeding disorder.
<br />
<br />And then my wisdom teeth came out. After bleeding for two weeks, I was told to put tea bags on the open wounds to stop the bleeding. I knew what was wrong, but no one could hear me. Another week later, after a soft food diet through the Thanksgiving holiday, and after numerous tea bags, the bleeding finally stopped.
<br />
<br />
<br />As I got older, I started attending hemophilia conventions and found out that women <em>could</em> have bleeding disorders! Imagine my joy at finally being recognized! But I still could not find a hematologist that would agree with that fact, and who would consider treating me. And later on, through trying to network with other women, I found out that clotting factor IX levels fluctuate with hormones and other changes in women's bodies. This made sense, because I definitely bruised and bled more at different times during the month.
<br />But the people that needed to hear that most, would not listen.
<br />
<br />
<br />I attempted to train for a half marathon, thinking that jogging would be better than a contact sport. During the third week of training I had extreme pain in my hip. I continued to train and eventually was in so much pain I ended up on crutches.
<br />A hip bleed - I knew what it was.
<br />When my son has a bleed, the hematologist doesn't flinch at prescibing him what he needs. But not me, not a woman. I had to be off of my feet for three months - but no one would consider the possibility.
<br />Women don't bleed like that - not even carriers with lower clotting factor levels.
<br /><em>No one would validate what I already knew: I am a woman with a bleeding disorder!</em>
<br />
<br />Now my knee and ankle joints ache in cold or moist weather, and exercising is difficult and painful - which is a consequence of untreated bleeds. I feel like I have been one of the forgotten or overlooked and sometimes even scorned.
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div>After a miscarriage and D&C surgery, with the doctor insisting that my low clotting factor levels would not be a problem, I had again, painful complications and extra bleeding.</div>
<br /><div></div>
<br /><div>After slipping on the tile in my house and landing on my elbow again, hard, the same symptoms: swelling, pain and bruise-like coloring in the weeks to come. No one would listen.</div>
<br /><div></div>
<br />I've been around hemophilia my whole life. I treat my son's bleeds. I know the symptoms. I know the disorder inside and out - I even train school staff and scout leaders about it. But my own needs have been hushed. My own fears have been swept under a rug. I felt like I was losing a tiring battle. I was strong, yet weak, as I tried to speak out, hoping that someday girls younger than me will be given the benefit of the doubt.
<br />And then a friend with a bleeding disorder reached out to me. She is also a woman. She recommended her hematologist and told me he had saved her life.
<br />"He will listen to you," she said.
<br />
<br />So I called, and went to an appointment, and even though I was pregnant, had my factor levels tested regularly. They were consistently going up with the hormones of my pregnancy. Even though my levels were high, I was given factor replacement right before delivery, and then my levels were tested again. They had dropped from 78% to 28% (mild hemophilia range), even with the factor in my system! I recieved factor replacement for two weeks after the delivery - and my recovery was amazing compared to my first two.
<br />Someone listened!
<br />It was now documented!
<br />
<br />I <strong>am</strong> a woman with a bleeding disorder.

The food was also amazing, and with many requests, I will post some of the recipes below. Overall, I am very greatful to everyone who had a hand in helping me to pull this off. A special thanks goes out to Jayne and Evan, Linda, Phil, Gary, Andrea, Joeline, Mary, Laura, Myra and Meredith. Without you, I couldn't have done it!! And thank you to Warren Dean Group for sponsoring the party and Changing Hands Bookstore for providing the books. Being an author has been a wonderful journey.... and it has only just begun!

<br />
<br />Refrigerated cookie dough (used the Fry's brand chocolate chip)
<br />Whipped topping
<br />Sliced strawberries, raspberries and blue berries
<br />
<br />Generously grease mini muffin cups. Place a small scoop of dough into each cup. Cook according to the package directions, minus a few minutes. When you take the pans out of the oven, drop them onto the counter gently so that the cookie sinks into a cup shape. Let cool for a few minutes before removing the cups and cooling them further on a rack. When cool, pipe whipped topping into the cup and top with berries.

I'm sure somebody can relate. Especially as a woman, and an excellent multi-tasker, I manage to think that juggling is what we are supposed to do! And then as I wear myself out, I realize that taking things one step at a time is also possible. I can hold the baby and enjoy watching his face and talking to him while he nurses, instead of trying to catch up on my e-mails while I am blessed with that time with him. Or for once JUST making dinner, instead of doing the dishes, feeding the baby, and manning the oven and stove all at the same time. Granted, things can take a lot longer that way. And when things take longer, sometimes some things just plain don't get done. But I suppose that there is a time and a season for everything...and the important thing is that I can enjoy my kids and family while they (we!) are young and everyone is still at home. </div><br /><br /><div>So don't ask me how I am planning a book launch party in the middle of my normal choas. For some reason I need to celebrate this exciting thing in my life - this book that came from somewhere deep in my mind and managed to make it onto paper - this book filled with my fears, dreams, emotions and hopes. It is a miracle considering the last four years of my life. So here it is, and I can now look forward to a celebration in its honor - thanks to all of my amazing friends and family and thier tremendous help.</div><br /><br /><div>So here is to staying up a little later at night so that I don't miss anything during the day, and so that the birth of this project can be fussed over. We (ok, I) deserve it, right?! </div><br /><br /><div>"Flames of Redemption" is here!</div>Michelle Thompsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05415348029571218654noreply@blogger.com0
