I am not online much these days, so I just wanted to post proof of life. I had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to perform on stage at a winter concert with my kids in front of an audience of 800. It was terrifying! But I'll always cherish being there with/for my kids.😊
I came to the U.S. in the 90s. It was 27 yrs before I became a citizen & was able to vote. I used to be a hardcore Progressive. Now I'm a non-partisan Centrist. I support President Trump & voted RED all the way down in this election because the Left have become absolutely insane.

Ricky Schroeder talks about a white hat counter programming operation he was involved with as a child.
👉🏼 he also mentioned he wasn't the only child involved with the operation.
i'm the same age as Ricky - but why do I feel like I know what he's talking about - and if I do some of you do too.

“Haridopolos is right to sound the alarm. Excessive screen time can affect how children think, learn and develop. That’s reason enough to pay attention. Her warning is also an important reminder that childhood is about more than cognitive development.”

While you wait for Fauci’s hearing to start, a reminder that when the U.S. government purchased Covid-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna, it contractually agreed to keep the PREP Act immunity in place for as long as their vaccines are administered in the United States.
What that means is that the U.S. government promised Pfizer and Moderna that it could not be sued for harms from its Covid-19 vaccines, irrespective of whether an emergency continued to exist.
But not only did our government contractually agree that Pfizer and Moderna can harm and kill Americans with impunity, it also guaranteed Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars for this privilege.
Even worse, the U.S. government guaranteed this immunity in July 2020, months before it first authorized Covid-19 vaccines in December 2020. Meaning, the U.S. government pre-guaranteed these companies immunity from any harm caused by their products, thus, knowingly undermining any incentive for them to create a safe product.
And how much were Pfizer and Moderna guaranteed to be paid by the U.S. government to develop a product that could harm its own citizens with impunity? A total of over $21 billion just in the initial rollout -- $8.63 billion for Moderna and $13.15 billion for Pfizer.
Sound unreal? See the actual contracts for yourself linked in my most recent restack.
The Fallout
The implications are incredible.
To start, Pfizer and Moderna could sue the U.S. government for breach of contract and potentially other relief if PREP Act immunity is terminated before the United States’ use of their COVID-19 vaccines ceases.
Only in an upside-down world would the U.S. government siphon over $21 billion of its citizen’s taxpayer dollars to Pfizer and Moderna and pre-guarantee a profit-motivated company sweeping immunity for harms its product causes to its own citizens.
Summing it up:
The U.S. government guaranteed Pfizer and Moderna immunity for injuries from their products before they were even developed, thereby eliminating the incentive for these companies to make their product safe. Worse, it gave these companies billions of dollars of its citizens’ money to develop these products, and even more incredible, it then spent billions more of its citizen’s money to promote Pfizer’s product as “safe and effective.” And in an ultimate slap to its citizens, then it required them to be injected with this product under the threat of grave consequences, including expulsion from school, losing their job, discharge from the military, etc.
Who is Being Protected?
Who exactly is the U.S. government working for? Whose interests is it protecting?
Government agencies have a well-documented history of being captured by industry. It is known in political science as regulatory capture. In this case, the capture is by pharma and the degree of capture is unprecedented.
You, the collective citizens of the United States, have paid Pfizer and Moderna billions of dollars. You have paid with your taxes. You have paid with your bodies when you were injured without recourse against Pfizer or Moderna. You have paid with your right to freedom when you were forced to be injected with their products under penalty of losing basic civil rights, employment, or more.
And what have Pfizer and Moderna paid? Nothing. They instead raked in billions of dollars of your money as long as they developed a Covid-19 vaccine and were shielded from liability irrespective of how unsafe of a product they developed or how much harm it would cause the public that paid them.
The Solution
The above again brings into focus why no medical product should ever be mandated. This assures you can say “no” if you don’t want a product developed with pre-guaranteed immunity for harms. “No” where its clinical trial had more deaths in the vaccinated group than the placebo group. “No” where it generates over $55 billion in revenue but its morally-bankrupt manufacturers won’t spend a dollar to compensate those injured.
Even if you support all current vaccines, masks, etc., there may come a day when you may not want to take a mandated medical product or procedure. When that day comes, it may be too late to recapture the rights you have surrendered. Rights lost are rarely retrieved. This is why, while everyone should be free to take any medical product, everyone should also be free to decline any medical product without penalty.
It should be that simple.
Take Action
To that end, I encourage you to send the following proposed legislation to your legislative representatives:
“No law may require or coerce a person to receive or use a medical product, or impose a penalty or deprive a benefit for refusing a medical product or refusing to disclose whether a person has received a medical product.”
Medical freedom is freedom. If you cannot get a job, go to school, play sports, sit in a restaurant, or otherwise participate in civil society because you refuse a medical product, then what good are your rights if you can exercise them only at home by yourself? That is why medical freedom is a fundamental right that must be permanently fixed into the law of every civilized nation.
Thank you to all the warriors, veteran and new, who join arms in the battle to secure this fundamental right. As aptly stated in the Declaration of Independence, we “are endowed by [our] Creator with certain unalienable Rights” and to safeguard those rights “we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.” We must never yield to the tyranny of permitting others to dictate what can or must be placed, administered, or injected onto or into our bodies. For once that right is ceded, none truly remains.

The universe pings us about things we should focus on when we're paying attention. For me, it's Tartaria.

🧵2) During a period of time (I'm guessing anywhere from late 1800s to early 1900s), I was told they were killing anyone who was not Han Chinese in China. My grandfather's family changed their last name to a Han last name to evade being killed.
In 2003, while I was getting my master's, I did a presentation on upcoming Automotive Technology (since that was my field of work). This tech was already in the works 23+ years ago. I wouldn't be surprised if it's already in existing cars, and they're just not telling you.

If you watch Charlie Kirk’s debates, there’s something you’ll see in almost all of them.
It’s easy to miss until it’s pointed out to you, but once you’re aware, you’ll notice every time.
Here’s the pattern I’ve observed:
1. His first mission is to establish clarity.
- Asks his opponent to state their argument
- Asks them to define terms
- If they struggle with either, he offers one to them and asks if it’s FAIR
2. His second (and most important) mission is to find something, no matter how small, on which he can say the magical phrase:
“I AGREE”
Human beings WANT to be agreed with. It’s a fundamental drive.
It establishes rapport, and helps us feel acknowledged and humanized.
Saying “I agree” or “we agree” lowers defenses. Which is THE KEY.
Because once defenses go up, communication stops.
Charlie knew this, and it was one of his biggest strengths and secret weapons.
But he never said it insincerely. That’s why his first step was CLARIFICATION.
In order to find a sincere point of agreement, you have to understand what the other person is trying to say.
This is a known debate tactic. But even though many skilled debaters use it, few wield it in quite the same way as he did.
Why?
Because Charlie wasn’t trying to just WIN.
He was trying to CONVINCE.
He wanted the person across from him to end up BESIDE him.
Humiliation wasn’t the goal. Because a person who is simply humiliated or defeated either doubles down or shuts down and walks away.
Which is why, if you watch, you’ll see how intently Charlie hunts for the moment he can say “I AGREE”… usually even before he begins his counterattack.
He lights up with excitement every time he finds it.
Because he knew that once their perspective was entirely dismantled, they’d find themselves floating in a sea of uncertainty… and he wanted them to have a life ring to hold onto.
One that was tethered to reason, truth, and a person with whom they knew they could AGREE.
Even if only about something small.
It’s how he managed to never close the door on someone.
It’s how he so beautifully built connection during—and even THROUGH—argument.
And it’s something I think we should all notice and study, when we watch him, so that we can do it too.
Real winning is about keeping the focus on what you’re fighting FOR, rather than who you’re fighting against.
Charlie knew that.
It’s become my favorite thing to look for in his debates.
And, the more I see it… the more I feel like it’s the real key to carrying on his legacy, and picking up his mic.
I don’t think people realize how big of a deal this is. In Japanese culture, people don’t typically greet each other with hugs, especially in formal settings. My Japanese grandmother never hugged me growing up, and when I hugged her as an adult, she didn’t know how to react.
🚨 BREAKING: Incredible moment as President Trump welcomes Japan's right-wing Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi with a WARM HUG at the White House
She is so excited to see him 😅
Takaichi is a great friend of Trump and America! 🇺🇸🇯🇵

Peter Thiel confirms that tech execs generally place severe restrictions on tech use by their own children.
His limit for his kids: 1.5 hours per week.
(kids were 3.5 and 5 at the time)
As we say in The Amazing Generation, the "tech wizards" want YOUR kids to spend all day.
Peter Thiel on screen time for kids:
“If you ask executives of social media companies how much screen time they let their kids have— there’s probably an interesting critique one could make.”
@andrewrsorkin: “What do you do?”
Thiel: “An hour and a half a week.”

Many college professors are discovering that students learn less when they have laptops open. Many of us are banning their use in class.
Putting computers and tablets on students desks in K-12 may turn out to be among the costliest mistakes in the history of education
The U.S. spent $30 billion to ditch textbooks for laptops and tablets in classrooms.
The result: Gen Z is the first generation to score lower on standardized tests than their parents.

If you feel like you’re straddling two realities, this might be the most important video you watch. It's a lesson I finally learned a few years ago. As Alan Watts said: wisdom is knowing life is a game and playing it fully. Not denying it. Not opting out.

💥The Scare Event Will Hit Differently for You💥
There’s something quietly profound about being the one who already cracked when the world still looked whole.
About grieving the illusion years before the sirens started wailing.
They’ll say “The Scare Event has begun.”
And you’ll nod… not with panic.
But with something like recognition.
Because you’ve been in the Scare Event since 2020.
Heck, maybe even longer.
You lost friends, family, jobs-
Not because you were weird,
But because you saw too much, too early.
They thought you were dramatic.
You were just ahead.
You cried in grocery store parking lots.
You whispered “I know something’s coming” to your ceiling fan at 3am.
You quietly disconnected from the Matrix one expired narrative at a time.
And now? Now the world begins to catch up.
🔥For Them, This is a Beginning.
🔑For You, This is the Final Act.🔑
The Scare will knock the wind out of the normies.
It will short-circuit everything they thought was stable.
Banks. Borders. Biology.
It’s all about to wobble.
They’ll gasp. You’ll inhale.
They’ll freeze. You’ll anchor.
Because while they’re watching buildings shake and arrests being made -
❤you’re tracking the tectonic shift of human consciousness.❤
You’ve been holding the line through 5D chaos with 3D responsibilities.
Folding laundry with one hand, transmuting collective grief with the other.
🔑No badge. No glory. Just inner alignment and dogged faith.🔑
🔥The Real Scare Event Was Already Inside You
And You Survived It.
When you lost the people who meant the most, lost your job, and lost your ego...
When the betrayal hit harder than any world event.
When you watched the veil drop and saw the strings behind the stage.
And yet, you chose to stay.
🔑That was the real war.🔑
You met yourself.
In the rubble.
In the silence.
In the knowing.
🔥And Now… They’ll Come.
The very people who ghosted you.
Who rolled their eyes at your medbeds and RV dreams.
Who told you you were “too intense.”
They’ll come.
"Did you know this would happen?"
they’ll whisper in the middle of the night, like children waking from a nightmare.
And you can guide.
Not because you're better.
🔑But because you trained for this.🔑
The years of confusion, of loneliness, of being “too much” - they weren’t punishment.
❤They were preparation.❤
This is Why You Came.
🔑Whatever shakes the world - however it arrives- it will reveal you. The version of you that was always waiting beneath the noise, beneath the fear, beneath the life you outgrew. The moment everything trembles is the moment your true self steps forward. 🔑
So breathe.
Center.
Enjoy stillness like it’s sacred currency.
Because this is the moment the world begins to see what you already knew:
The storm was sent to strip the veil.
❤And those who’ve walked through fire quietly -
will now be seen as the lightkeepers they truly are.❤
It's time, legend.
No more hiding.
💫Lead with your frequency.💫

Replying to @athenaeumbc @elonmusk
Lewis wasn’t warning about people being kind.
He was warning about sentiment without spine.
When “niceness” replaces virtue, morality stops being something you become and turns into something you perform. At that point, ethics aren’t rooted in truth, they’re optimized for approval.
That’s the real danger of The Abolition of Man:
once objective value is dismissed, power quietly takes its place. Not always with boots and guns, but with incentives, language control, and moral outsourcing.
“Men without chests” aren’t evil. They’re worse.
They’re competent, agreeable, and hollow.
They can analyze injustice endlessly yet lack the internal gravity to resist it when resistance costs them something. So they trade courage for comfort and call it compassion.
And that’s how a society doesn’t fall to monsters.
It falls to managers.
Lewis saw it early: if nothing is sacred, everything is adjustable.
And when everything is adjustable, the strongest hand on the dial decides what “good” means.
Niceness didn’t kill the soul.
Substituting feelings for virtue did.
And once a culture forgets how to form character, it doesn’t need tyrants.
It manufactures compliance all by itself.
Mandy retweeted
Did you know C.S. Lewis predicted the modern obsession with “being nice” would destroy the soul?
In The Abolition of Man, Lewis argues that when a society stops believing in objective virtue, it doesn’t become tolerant… it becomes manipulable.
He calls the result “men without chests.”
People with appetites and intellects, but no courage, no honor, no trained moral instincts. They can calculate everything and defend nothing.
Lewis saw that once we reject inherited moral law, we don’t become free. We become raw material… easily shaped by propaganda, pleasure, and fear.
Modern man prides himself on compassion while quietly surrendering every standard that once gave compassion meaning.
Lewis’s insight is brutal: a civilization that educates clever cowards will eventually be ruled by tyrants or technicians.
Because when nothing is worth dying for, everything becomes negotiable… including human dignity.
