Wine and Wheels

This enchanting cyclist is no doubt flying to a picnic at which she will be enjoying some wonderful red wine along with some Dill and Chard Frittata. I put the socks on her to make the picture decent, which should resolve the situation in Alabama, where she has been banned.

Seedless Avocado

I got this unusually rich and buttery avocado at Integral Yoga on West 13th Street. It had no stone at all, just a little almond-sized hollow in the center. Never saw that before.

Serendipitous Recipe Transmission (Zucchini with Mustard Seeds)

Folks frequently ask where I get recipes. Well, heavens, recipes are everywhere. I read cookbooks, newspapers, blogs, the backs and sides of boxes, and of course I make things up, but I think my favorite mode of recipe transmission is the serendipitous viva voce connection, which occurs at those fortuitous creases in the space-time continuum when a total stranger will thrust upon you a recipe that will end up enriching your life endlessly. This is what happens when you go to Queens.

A while back I was shopping in Patel Brothers in Flushing Queens. I am going to have to tell you about Patel Brothers in more detail soon, because this is a place where very, very good things can happen, but I will just give you one example for now: I was looking at some small firm zucchini-like squash and wondering what I would do with them, and the gentleman immediately next to me volunteered that you cut them into slices, heat black mustard seeds until they pop, and then add the vegetables. You have to try it, he insisted, it is just so good.

It is indeed. This week I made it with the miraculous ribby zucchini from Stoneledge Farm.

Zucchini with Mustard Seeds

Oil (I used grapeseed oil; coconut oil might be interesting)

chiles (optional)

1 ½ teaspoons black or brown mustard seeds

½ pound zucchini or other firm summer squash

Scrub the squash and slice into thin rounds. Heat the oil in a skillet and add the mustard seeds and the chiles if you are using them. When the seeds turn grey and begin to pop add the zucchini and cook, stirring until lightly browned here and there. Salt to taste.

Hi Peeps! Spread Positivity!! :)

Reasons Portland aint so grand....

I know my hatred for bridges does bias my opinion a teeny bit, here in the "City of Bridges".

However, tonight, as I tried to ride the train across a bridge to see my daughter in the hospital, I had a panic attack, and had to turn around and go home....
I discovered... Tri-Met... Portland's public transit...
So normal from the outside.
No wonder it's so much cheaper than CA's Metro....
On the inside... Like this:
Except drunk and disorderly.
Or dealing drugs.
Or vomiting or urinating.

Makes going over the bridges.... Fun?

Here's kid in the 1st E.R.
And here's view from first hospital:
Which weirds me out.
When my dad was in the god-forsaken hospital built on a hill overlooking the river (here in Portland),
this was the view:
But they took excellent care of him....

Here's an update on my piggies:
They're loud.
They have terrible behavior.
I don't even think they like eachother.
It's like family...

And finally, back in December (?) we had snow for about 4 hours here.
I got stranded at work, did I mention this?

Yeah... that charming little corolla.... would NOT move once hitting the mean icy streets of PDX...

My boss recommends I find an apothecary and get a tincture to help my anxiety for crossing bridges.

I've ALMOST finished my rug...

I MADE that shit.

Oh.... And I've become a full-on vegetarian... But I doubt I'm gonna lose any weight over it.

Love you guys!

No Awards here

Well, the crazy news is: child has entered an inpatient psych hospital.

I keep saying it's the best thing and that we FINALLY got her help.

Of course, I cried a lot tonight. She kicked me out of visiting her.
I hafta drive over bridges to see her, thru an hour's worth of traffic.

I know that doesn't mean a lot to an 11 year old.

She just wanted to get back to the kids to watch Barnyard.

She demands I come all the time, but insults living with me. (I'm "mean". It's so laughable. She gets away with everything, just because she's such a tyrant and everything MUST end up her way. She TOTALLY is like the Queen of Hearts. I'M Alice.)

I know it's not personal.

I hope everything turns out okay.
It's just hard to see lights at ends of tunnels.

Happy P Day

My bf sent me an email to work of hilarious pix like the one above.

My direct supervisor picked out the one above and sent it back to me with the title:
"This is SOO YOU"

Everytime I look at it, I can't stop laughing.

Laughing is a rarity these days.

Child has turned into serious split personality. I can't even say bad things today because today's personality was the good child.
I can only pray the doctors will catch on and get her the help she needs.
Local law enforcement only encouraged "physical discipline".
It's not that I don't want to beat "physically discipline" my child... It's that it's ineffective.
I'm relying on prayer.
My dad bought/mailed us 3 books about children with defiance problems, etc.
Boyfriend read all 3.
Much to boyfriend's dismay, we already DO all the techniques in all 3 books.
Why don't the techniques work?

Try to be happy.
Spread positivity.
Don't eat meat.

Fillin In

Here are some texts from recent past:

Me: The verizon fios guys came by to say hi.
BF: What?? They were like "We're from Verizon, just wanted to say hi" ?
Me: Ummm Yeah... Just tryin to sign people up...
BF: Who does that... that scenario only happens in bad porn movies... you better not fuck them!

Kid: Mommy! Sombody stole my bike!!!!
Me: OMG, that friggin sucks
Kid: I want a new one NOW
Me: No
Kid: I'm going to throw myself in front of a car if I don't get a new one NOW
Me: I'm saving that text for the doctor

Strangely, I don't think I've let on how much I hate bridges. Have I mentioned the paralyzing panic attacks?
And F Kaiser right, because I can't get into a psychiatrist to save my life.
I hate heights. I hate water.
Here are some pictures of the beautiful, nature-oriented city I CHOSE to move to:

I requested trees
It's like God's cruel joke....

In other news, the child may be bi-polar also, hence explaining the hellraiser-similarities.
However, it may be a mental hospital making the final diagnosis, seeing as how i have KAISER and they'd rather see you DIE before actually treat you.

My dad's coming in April.
It's not soon enough.

I'm still trying to get rid of chemicals.
I only have one last bottle of toxic cleaner left.
Everything else is being cleaned au naturale.

My work is trying to kill me.
I think I'm not cut out for work.
I've always known I'm not cut out for LIFE.

Oh, but I still want another kid someday.

Stay tuned in future for crochet yummyness

Not back for long

Hello world.

The past few months have FLOWN by.

My father is down in California, waiting till March to move back up here so he can make my life miserable with his stuff E V E R Y W H E R E....
But in the meantime, he left my daughter and boyfriend to carry on in his name...

The above pic is what you may find on my boyfriend's side of our bed on any given week....
Today I posted that pic on my facebook and Boyfriend flew into a humiliated rage and cleaned it up...
"Clean up" meaning just throwing most of it away.... Not ALL of it.
Let's not kid ourselves.

My life is being swallowed by dirt and mold.I don't have the energy to keep up with the amount of dirt output these things/people are throwing at me.

I've been reading a lot lately. This is a good thing.

I've read ALL of the Percy Jackson books.
I read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" and "The Queen's Fool". (An AWESOME book)
I continuously check out books out of the local library about sustained living.
I've developed a fear of toxins and dangerous chemicals in everything. I mean EVERYTHING.
But not THAT big a fear obviously. Still usin the Comet. Still eatin the red meat.
All in due time.

I will leave you with an awesome recipe from the book:
"Clean Naturally. recipes for body, home and spirit. by Sandy Maine"
Eucalyptus-Mint All-Purpose Disinfecting Soft Soap for Kitchen and Bath
5 cups grated castile soap
1/2 cup baking soda
1 teaspoon borax
6 cups hot peppermint tea
1 teaspoon eucalyptus essential oil
"Put grated soap into a 3-quart stainless steel saucepan and add hot mint tea. Simmer for 15 minutes on low heat. Add baking soda, borax, and eucalyptus oil. Store in a labeled plastic jug or squirt bottle. Shake before using."
"Can be used for washing dishes, floors, stoves, refrigerators, sinks, and hands. It's mild to the skin but effective enough to get cleaning jobs done. The eucalyptus and mint provide a disinfecting quality as well as a fresh scent. Any areas washed with this soap will be undesirable to crawling insects and flies--they'll stay away for quite a while."

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to figure out how to save our money so I can get to Whole Foods. P.S. Trader Joe's let me doooown! (They had NO organic body washes!!--Even Target had some!!!)

P.S. Boyfriend's jumped on the baby-makin train. I think he's just bored and wants a friend.
So far we've got Sylar for a boy and Calypso for a girl.

Ok ok, he's not really on board with the name Calypso, but F him, this is my blog.

Pac-12 class rankings analysis

Half of the Pac-12 remains among the top 40 recruiting classes in the newly-released ESPN recruiting rankings. In order, Arizona, Arizona State, Oregon, USC, Stanford and UCLA represent the conference after a big week on the recruiting trail for virtually all of those programs.

Trending up: Just about the entire Pac-12 gets a mention here, as Arizona State, Oregon, USC and UCLA all moved up in the team rankings. While Arizona still sits at No. 15, the Wildcats added two very important pieces in No. 15 overall prospect Jalen Tabor (Washington, D.C./Friendship Collegiate Academy) and ESPN offensive tackle Jordan Poland (La Jolla, Calif./La Jolla Country Day). Arizona State moved from No. 18 to No. 17, while Oregon jumped from No. 27 to No. 25 and USC moved from No. 31 to No. 27. Stanford held at No. 28, while UCLA used several commitments to climb one spot from No. 34 to No. 33 overall. Other Pac-12 programs, including Cal, Washington and Washington State, added recent commitments as well.

Trending down: The Pac-12's chance at a top-five recruiting class.

While six Pac-12 programs are just about guaranteed to finish among the top 40 classes on signing day, barring a collapse down the stretch, the chances that one of them pushes its way into the top five is shrinking and that can be blamed on how successful the head coaches in the conference have been as a whole. No program is running away with the recruiting title right now, and there is still a chance that any of the six ranked teams could wind up with the top spot in the conference. While Arizona's class looks full at this point, with 29 commitments, the Wildcats coaches will find a way to create space if more uncommitted recruits want to jump on board. Arizona State and Stanford are still chasing ESPN 300 offensive tackle Casey Tucker (Chandler, Ariz./Hamilton), while the Cardinal and Bruins are in it for ESPN 300 defensive end Solomon Thomas (Coppell, Tex./Coppell). Also, ESPN 300 prospects Adoree' Jackson (Gardena, Calif./Serra), John Smith (Long Beach, Calif./Poly) and Damien Mama (Bellflower, Calif./St. John Bosco) could all shape the classes at UCLA or USC. But because there is no dominant recruiting force in the conference this year, it's likely that multiple teams could wind up among the top 15 overall and be extremely happy with their signings, but it looks unlikely -- at this point, at least -- that one will push to be among the nation's elite on signing day.

One to watch: The weekend of Jan. 17.

It's a huge official visit weekend for the conference, as it's the first weekend following the dead period and virtually every Pac-12 program will have a long list of official visitors. Just about every school is using that weekend to host their committed recruits, so all eyes will be on the uncommitted prospects who join them because it will be one of the strongest recruiting pushes any program will be able to make between now and signing day. Though there are still a handful of in-home visit opportunities remaining, few recruiting pitches are stronger than spending a weekend on campus surrounded by committed recruits.

Bold prediction: The Pac-12 will keep the top West recruits at home.

It started out a little shaky, as top West region recruits committed to schools outside of the area. And even now, of the five committed recruits among the top 10 prospects in the west, three are headed out of the conference. But the Pac-12 will close strong, landing commitments from Jackson, Smith, Tucker, Mama, Michiah Quick (Fresno, Calif./Central East) and Dalton Schultz (South Jordan, Utah/Bingham), giving the conference 15 of the top 20 West region prospects.

The good and bad of Sullinger

More than halfway through Jared Sullinger's second NBA campaign it remains unclear if he can do anything well besides hit the glass. The 6-foot-9, 260-pound big man is shooting just 43.4 percent from the field this season and 25.4 percent from beyond the arc (yet, he is taking 2.6 3s per game for some reason).

Unusual birds in the vineyard

I saw a couple of unusual birds in the vineyard today and managed to get a quick photo. Not sure if you've seen them in your area too?

Anyhow, they told me that as it was a little cooler today,  that they could do with warming up, so I've put them in the kiln for a couple of hours and we'll see how they do!

I wonder who else is out there...... ???  Keep looking!

Marly Penner said...

Welcome home, Ruth! It's been so much fun following your adventures in Mexico! Sounds like you had a wonderful holiday and discovered more talents through your art and sculpture courses. Beautiful! Love your unusual birds. They look like have lots of personality. Hope they enjoy their warm up time and come back for another photo shoot!

Patty Biermans said...

I have enjoyd your story about Mexico and are curious what this does with your new work. The birds are a joy to look at. Hugzz...Peebee

6-29 21st century firefighting needed

62912 fires

SANTA FE – If we don't improve our firefighting, the Rockies will burn down. Those were the words of retired Los Alamos scientist Chick Keller when interviewed by Capitol Reports.
Keller has a point. We are not utilizing all the resources our nation has to fight wildfires. Almost every year fires in Western states are setting records for most land burned and that will continue until we get smarter.
U.S. Rep. Steve Pearce criticized the Forest Service for its handling of the Ruidoso fire that burned over 200 homes. There appeared to be opportunities to stop the fire in its early stages if the right actions had been taken at the right time.
Pearce's comments came at the height of the fire. Gov. Susana Martinez commended the bravery of the firefighters and said the time for critiques would come later. And several days later she pled on national TV for 21st century methods of firefighting.
Keller has some suggestions. He says the Air Force can solve many of the problems. It can deploy bigger planes that can fly at night to help map strategy for ground crews to follow early the next morning while the fires still are laid down.
Drones also could play a part. The Ai8r Force would not need anything new, according to Keller. Everything needed could come right off the shelf.
The problem is that fighting forest fires is not part of the Air Force's mission. That probably takes an act of Congress – and funding or redeployment. Rep. Pearce would be the logical person to get that started.
Firefighting methods have changed over the years. When I was a high schooler in Silver City in the '50s, we didn't have tankers to drop slurry. We had smoke jumpers to drop on fires. These were usually athletic college guys from throughout the Rockies. During their free time they stole our girlfriends from us. We needed to replace them with those slurry bombers back then but the planes were busy in Korea.
Gov. Martinez also talks about the mismanagement of forests. She is referring to the floor of forests being littered with shrubs, dead trees and several inches of pine needles. She would like to see all that cleaned up and the trees thinned out.
Martinez commends the Mescalero Apaches to the west of Ruidoso who get to manage their own forest. It is clean and much less susceptible to fires. According to Keller, it is extremely fortunate for Ruidoso because if a fire ever gets started west of Ruidoso or any other populated area, the result would be catastrophic because the prevailing winds would blow it into town.
What Gov. Martinez refers to as mismanagement actually is management by a different philosophy. There is a strong lobby for leaving forests in their natural state because that is healthier for all the little critters that live on the forest floor.
Something bad evidently happens when the place is cleaned up. Arizona appears to be resisting that lobby because forests near previously burned areas now look pristine.
The Forest Service probably shouldn't be blamed for mismanagement. It is doing everything it is allowed to do. It just needs more tools and a different management philosophy.
The fireworks season is now upon us. Gov. Martinez is most concerned. Last summer there was a cry from many quarters for gubernatorial power to ban fireworks. She pursued that quest in the redistricting session and was told there was time to wait until the regular session in January.
She had the ban introduced in January and ran into the fireworks lobby, which convinced lawmakers that the ban would cost jobs and put them out of business.
Martinez will try again next January but the result is likely to be the same. Seven fires were started by fireworks in state forests last year. Another seven were started in Albuquerque. And no telling how many more were started in other communities.

Jeremiah 10:24

"Correct me, Lord, but only with justice--not in your anger, lest you reduce me to nothing." NIV

"O Lord, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing." KJV

The Lord does not discipline His children in anger as He did before Christ. We are living under grace. But we still correct each other in anger and seek revenge for wrongs against us. Do we realize how much damage that does to our Christian testimony and our relationships? We can praise our merciful Lord that He does not do this to us.

Heavenly Father, when we become angry at another person, please bring to our hearts and minds that we are to show mercy just as You have shown mercy to us. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen.

Do you enjoy basking in the sun, but you’re scared to do it because of all the warnings you hear?

While too much sun can be bad for your health, so can too little. Researchers at Central Washington University claim that 77% of people are vitamin D deficient because they don’t get enough sunlight.

While it’s good to slap on some SPF for beach days, we’re missing out on the benefits of vitamin D by never getting any natural sun.

benefits of vitamin d

The Benefits of Vitamin D

1. Decrease your chances of getting cancer

One of the reasons people avoid sunlight is because they’re afraid of getting skin cancer. However, insufficient levels of vitamin D due to limited sun exposure have been linked to ovarian and breast cancer.

The School of Social and Community Medicine at Bristol found that people who do not go in the sun regularly are more likely to develop prostate cancer due to vitamin D deficiency.

2. Improve your heart health

To improve your heart health, vitamin D is essential. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to fatal cardiovascular events like heart failure. Studies are currently being conducted to find whether vitamin D deficiency is also related to heart disease.

3. Improve your metabolism

Vitamin D deficiency has even been linked to the increasing obesity rate. Vitamin D is a necessary hormone for healthy metabolic function. Deficiency in it can lead to more fat storage and weight gain. So, just lying in the sun for a few minutes a day might help you lose weight!

Related: 5 Diet And Weight Loss Myths Holding You Back

4. Strengthen your immune system

Not only has vitamin D been found to reduce the risk of autoimmune diseases, but it also helps your immune system fight off infection.

Researchers at the University of Colorado School of Medicine found that adults and children with vitamin D deficiencies had more severe infections than those with normal levels of the vitamin.

Make sure you’re getting enough sunlight to prevent minor cuts from becoming more serious issues.

5. Improve bone health

Proper levels of vitamin D have shown improved musculoskeletal health in both teenagers and adults. When supplemented with calcium, vitamin D also improved bone density in women. This may prevent future age-related injuries due to bone loss.

6. Prevent kidney disease

One of the diseases most commonly found with vitamin D deficiency in patients is chronic kidney disease. Getting enough vitamin D can prevent this disease. If you or someone you know already has kidney disease, vitamin D is a popular treatment option.

7. Improve dental health

One of the benefits of vitamin D is…dental health? Yes, getting more sunlight can even improve the health of your pearly whites! A study found that patients that either took vitamin D supplements or had proper sun exposure had a lower chance of having severe periodontal disease.

8. Train better

Are you a runner or an athlete? If so, vitamin D may be the key to reaching your next goal in training. The Department of Nutrition at Central Washington University suggests that vitamin D plays a very important role in cell regeneration.

If you have low levels of vitamin D, your body may take longer to recuperate after a tough workout. Run outside or take a fitness class at the park to get vitamin D and stay in shape!

How To Get Vitamin D Safely

UV rays that contribute to production of vitamin D are highest during afternoon hours, so head outside for the recommended time of 15 minutes to get your daily dose of vitamin D from the sun. It is considered safe to be outside without sunscreen or covering for this amount of time.

Related: 5 Reasons Warm Weather Is Good For Your Health

Although sunlight exposure is the best way to naturally produce this vitamin, you may want to talk to your doctor about taking a vitamin D supplement.

The Takeaway

The benefits of vitamin D are many; it’s an essential nutrient that you get from natural sunlight. By getting a healthy dose of sun, you can prevent cancer, kidney disease, and bone loss. So, grab a book, a glass of water, and a chair, and let the sun work its magic!

Taking Carly to School

I must admit, I am very impressed with Carly Fiorina as a presidential candidate. She handles herself well and has a good grasp of most of the issues.

But she whiffs it when it comes to Obamacare.

Case in point.
(Jake Tapper) “Didn’t your experience [with cancer] show you that the pre-existing condition part of Obamacare is crucial.
(Carly Fiorina) “I absolutely endorse that goal–I did at the time. But guess what? None of that has worked. Demonstrably, if you look at the results of Obamacare…health insurance premiums are up almost 40% now.
That isn’t helping anyone with cancer, I can assure you that–” IJ Review

I give her a split on this.

Premiums did go up. In most cases a lot more than 40%. It was inevitable.

When you go from insuring mostly healthy people (some carriers made offers on 90%+ of the applications) to insuring anyone, no questions asked, premiums HAD to go up.

But I give her this much. The current offerings don't help much. Even if you have a subsidy, unless you are receiving the max and getting the deductible "buy down" you have premiums you can't afford, deductibles so high you (think) you can't afford to use the plan, or both.

I quoted a husband and wife, age 58, almost $1000 per month for a plan with no copay's and a $12,600 deductible.

Two years ago they could have had a lower deductible for less than $400 per month.
Tapper: “But the expansion of the pool allows the insurance companies to pay for the people with pre-existing conditions.”
Fiorina: “…Who helped write Obamacare? The health insurance companies, and the drug companies. And guess what’s happening? Those companies are consolidating. That’s called crony capitalism.”

Yes, carriers and drug companies were asked to provide input, which they did. But the plan that Obama signed was not the one pitched to the carriers, drug manufacturers or the voting public.

Even Pelosi admitted she had no idea what was in the law she promoted and voted for.

But that's OK. She wasn't alone. Most of those who voted had no idea what was in the law.

Isn't that special?

But the consolidation of carriers was inevitable. Carriers were led to believe they would all write more business and the government (taxpayers actually) would cover their losses.

Come to the Obamacare Casino and you are guaranteed to win. No one loses.

So Carly, the consolidation was not crony capitalism. It is merely the heavy handed micro-management of the law by the administration. Changing the rules on the fly after the law was written. Moving open enrollment. Waiving penalties. Granting exemptions.

I know crony capitalism is a nice buzzword to throw around at election time. But this time it doesn't fit.

"Regarding Incredible" - Guest Post by Bronco Billy

Entry Submitted by Bronco Billy at 12:21 AM EDT on October 25, 2016

I'm beginning to think that we were all tested tonight by this post. I for one try to read between the lines when I see a Yosef post and I often read them twice as I usually pick up things the second go around. I look for tools I'll need to thrive in all Intel and fact checking Hamilton's job title over 100 years ago never crossed my mind. Am I ignorant? Am I naive? Probably. I like to believe that I'm searching in his Intel in particular for guidance to get me to 5D. I think tonight a few people proved that they are still in the mire of 3D thinking. How did you score on that test?

"Can we Get a Playbook, Please?" - Guest Post by Carden

Entry Submitted by Carden at 6:53 AM EST on November 26, 2016

Dear Veritas and Yosef, and to all who take responsibility, and/or are connected to the Source of this RV;

I've found myself wondering exactly how we could talk about all the private details and how a conversation would actually go.
What do we really have to say to each other in private and away from the wide open world provided in this forum? My musings run the gamut; it would be nice to speak to someone having deeper understanding of the RV/GCR process and its many challenges from a 360 degree view versus the narrow 5% view that I have in this most important time in history. It would be really nice to be clear about the facts and from source so that I can take some action. Not sure what that might be right now but I am 100% sure that I will be a better judge of what's possible with provable facts.

That I can claim a 5% understanding is just my opinion of our world today, and I think I'm lucky at that. Not bragging. LOL. No, just stating a fact and describing all that I don't know - which is probably even less than this small percentage that my huge ego allows! Could I know more than 5% and is this just humility or fear talking? Really doubtful given the misinformation /disinformation prevalent in our world today. It's impossible to claim anything is real today. Deep breathing, maybe.

In looking to the opposite end of the spectrum, would it be wise to open this Pandora's Box and pursue this No Man's Land that our conversation might entail? What would I gain and at what cost? LOL, I might be a fractional percentage confident then. Oh boy!

Dear Sister, and Brother, my challenge and the challenge of all action oriented people is that we like to jump in with both feet and without hesitation when we have something blocking our forward progress. To begin, my tendency is to gather knowledge. In this case, this knowledge is seemingly unattainable, undeciferable-- I mean who can we believe? Who can you believe might be a good question? To gain further understanding about this most murky, muddy, miasma will help me and many others. How can this knowledge be given with certainty and without the taint of emotion or clouded with historical precedence? Sadly we've learned that lies abound in print-the media is 100% controlled. Our justice system, our political system, our financial system; every "System" is fixed by some mafioso that goes unnamed.

Then there's the safety aspect. I've had a few run-ins with crazies already over this RV/GCR and it's no fun. Yes, I've seen those stones thrown and they are cast by people that I wouldn't have at my dinner table. They aren't people that I would ordinarily care about explaining anything to either because sophisticated, generous thinking isn't their logos. No matter. This is the world we live in and somehow they will have to be dealt with. I remind myself that I've got the mantle of Jesus surrounding me and that's enough to carry me through this experience but what about my question? WHAT CAN I DO? And this one, WHAT CAN ANY OF US BELIEVE TODAY? THAT THIS RV IS CLOSER THAN A PIMPLE ON A BUTT? LOL. Got the message. Thanks.

So, what we can talk about is how can I help you get this story across? And what story is it exactly that you intend to tell? Have you even thought about that? This is a good question for a one-on-one discussion we might have.

Veritas, Yosef, I think that there should be more transparency around this whole deal. Someone somewhere should step up and explain in simple terms exactly what's what and the who's who and finally all of the who, what and how of this whole deal. Too many good people are trapped by the "private exchange or nada" BS propaganda. Too often people are reporting from their narrow perspective (like Zap and his "intake" scenario vs Judy' report... apologize, "G" ? C'mon, gee whiz...). We all need the full 360 understanding.

The time to spill the beans is NOW, IMO. We have the means with the INTERNET and we have the ability. What we don't have is the Front Man, the savior willing to bring the facts to light. Because it is a thankless job and a job with grave danger. I had suggested Donald Trump as a front man because he really already took the job but he's obviously not going to fill those shoes or they would already be on his feet. He's made a deal and it doesn't serve us. That much is clear after all of these days and with his appointments.

So what to do? What to do? Who will bring the full 360 picture to life and without agenda? It's sure not any Admiral. It's sure not Shabibi. It's not any of those with central banking or UST backgrounds because even though they might know the truth of the corruption of the world they are indoctrinated with the taint of fear.

Yes, these are topics I consider worthwhile conversation between you and I. You've taken on the mantle of gentle person sharing wisdom and heartfelt truths that no other has done. Yosef has carried this hot potato probably as far as he can. Veritas stepped in and hesitantly, boldly shared a bit more. Now you're needing help. I could possibly help and I know others that will step up given a chance.

I'm not in a position to really state with any definite confidence any intelligence other than the hearsay that's been handed down. Handing down further hearsay isn't my bailiwick. Filling in the blanks and telling a well researched/provable story is. Writing a PLAYBOOK is... with some reference notes, of course. We can find other courageous souls that might be willing to help.

We can talk about all of this and also to offer eternal thanks for your courage. Tis no small thing you are doing. All HONOR.

Hope we catch up soon!

Big hugs,
