This week is going to be yet another twist on the rabbit hole.
This one is a sad one once I come around to the final reveal.
It’s the story of what really matters and why.
If the world has not humbled YOU yet and you’ve not allowed yourself to see the truth of what is really going on, for your own sake – wake up.
Over the past month, I have discussed government declassified information that has likely affected you or someone you know (Havana Syndrome and MK Ultra) but also look up https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/special-exhibit/2025-12-10/heroic-excavators-government-secrets and research The “Family Jewels” Report (1950s–1970s): Declassified in 2007 regarding domestic spying, assassination plots and kidnapping; Operation Northwoods (1962): A proposed plan by U.S. military leaders to commit acts of terrorism in American cities – such as bombing, hijacking, and framing Cuban agents – to justify a war against Cuba; Operation Mockingbird (1960s); Operation Paperclip (Post-WWII); Acoustic Kitty (1960s), and the list goes on.
One look at some of the things that humans are capable of and that should humble you as in “we are not the same.”
Yet we are all human.
Well, are we?
I’ve also discussed interdimensional travelers in past weeks and according to reports that means we AREN’T all the same.
Over the last week, President Donald Trump has said the Pentagon is preparing to release “very interesting” UFO files uncovered by his administration.
This should be a good fire storm from my audience seat.
If you’ve been keeping up, most people on the timeline I’m on not only knew there were interdimensional travelers, UAPs/UFOs, but there has been a rumor going around for at least a year it was going to be revealed in 2026 (https://spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/news/2026/05/03/trump-keeps-us-up-in-the-air-with-his-hints-of-what-s-coming-in-a-new-batch-of-ufo-files).
Trump is merely fulfilling just another prophecy.
And people hate the “orange man” so much they keep playing right into the list of prophesies.
Then there are the arrests, indictments, or threats being made for past secrets and lies and we see the blue and red people are not one happy family.
James Comey – is it real or is it just a sideshow to distract from the bigger picture?
You do realize this is all acted out by design, right?
As Shakespeare said quite poetically, “All the world’s a stage.”
And what about the Iran war? Is it still going on – I had to look because it’s not trending anymore.
Apparently, “Iran’s counterproposal to the United States reportedly includes a three-phase plan that seeks to quickly end the war, guarantee no future combined force strikes on Iran, and address the Strait of Hormuz in the first phase, while delaying talks on Iran’s nuclear program to a second phase (https://understandingwar.org/research/middle-east/iran-update-special-report-may-3-2026).
US President Donald Trump expressed doubt on May 2 that the proposal “would be acceptable.”
In the meantime, the American people have once again become desensitized to more death and bloodshed.
While that’s going on, big brother is wrapping its iron grip around your neck link by link with laws in the works – for example, the one that by 2027, every new car sold in the United States could be required to actively monitor the person behind the wheel.
The law in question is part of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. In brief it does require all new cars sold after September 2027 to includes the monitoring technology according to https://stateofsurveillance.org/news/federal-car-surveillance-mandate-2027-nhtsa-dadss-privacy-2026/. Infrared cameras will track your eyes, breath sensors will measure alcohol, and your car can refuse to start or limit its speed.
I’m just going to say for the record, because I think Ford has its hands all over this vehicle surveillance law – if we are going to keep the same politicians (and it appears we are), please figure out what lobbyist is matched up with which politician so you will know which devil you are buying into – at least understand the choices. After all, knowledge is power.
I see Ellis County residents outraged about Congressman Jake Ellzey still representing the county in Congress yet not representing the constituents. Well, you guys voted for him during the primary and the fact that he hasn’t changed seems to shock people.
There is the chance Ellis County could vote blue for an Ellzey defeat, but that would be changing the paradigm in such a way the world would have to turn over on its head.
Humans are too predictable for that.
And alas, that’s why we have all the shenanigans listed above and yet it continues because doing something about it’s much harder than complaining.
Elon Musk recently said, “It’s pretty wild that a tiny tax on tea started a revolution and now we get the living daylights taxed out of us and there is no revolution.”
Let that sink in and for all my Musk haters, well, I guess you like paying taxes, right?
The other day I saw a news report regarding Jimmy Kimmel’s poorly timed joke about Melania Trump – it noted he was getting fired.
I doubt it.
It’s another move to create controversy and shock, while distracting. Next time YOU laugh at such a joke, think about it being someone you love. Do you want to see them dead?
Death is pretty humbling and the way people throw the word, the idea and the ability to destroy around like there are no repercussions is a reminder how far the human race has extended into not being “human” anymore.
I will close on the topic of death, and whether it’s someone you hate or someone you love, it will humble you at some point.
And if you are smart, before it’s too late you will let go of the hate, division and lack of honor and remember we all die the same.
Because we die with no money, power, or the ability to do anything about it.
This past week I have been sitting with my brother who is dying.
It happened quickly and the experience took me by surprise, but I would not want to be anywhere else other than with him right now.
And with that realization also comes the fact that everything I have mentioned above is part of the story, but it’s not all the story.
I’m sitting in his hospital room on the hospice floor while writing this column and that alone puts it all in perspective.
I remind everyone that life is messy. The clamor for money, a political win, the defeat of an enemy who bleeds just like you do, a government that has experimented with wild abandon on human life and even an alien reveal.
Messy, but in the end, does it really matter and what did you do in between to counter the negative with your positive, that’s the only real question!
