"When you hunt the dark, you have no choice but to leave trails of light in your wake. Golden footprints on a black glass pond whose ripples never quiet."

You speak of a foray into faith but that you didn't "experience" God in any way. As I read your writing, you have absolutely been hearing God. You hear Him as you ponder, wonder, process. New thoughts are His voice. I would say that the very golden footprints are actually His footprints and we are all walking in His steps. The traditional "church faith" of the past is moving into a new paradigm. I think this very movement could be called a new "church". A drawing together of like-minded people for a common purpose. And because many in this place are faith-filled people (denominations don't count - faith and belief count), His presence, His revelations, His truth is spilling out everywhere. You, my tiger friend, are following the Lion. And He is hunting and exposing the enemy through each of you who puts yourself out there and talks publicly about what the enemy wants held private. If you can, embrace all of this as God being your friend, counselor, guide. Let HIM lead you as you write, ruminate and expound. Keep going -- you are on the good path. And you are not alone. Thank you for all that you do. Why am I drawn to you and this little band of Badlands Media? God. He brought me to this. He brought me to watching C-Span with this group (really???). And being curious about the workings, or lack thereof, of our government. Why You? Because You, and the rest, have been chosen for this moment in time to do what you are doing --- because whether you knew it or not, you said yes. Thank you for saying yes.

Curiosity: my most prominent trait. One, that likely brought me to your posts. Your analytical approach to this psychological war is what prompted me to subscribe and has/will keep me here.

“And where it failed.” Yes, indeed! I first realized the enemy we face today in my 20s after reading Taylor Caldwell’s “Captain and the Kings” where she included resources for her topic. In my 30s, I researched those resources and still have the book today.

My upbringing likely formed my disdain of “celebrity-worship” and all related (now apparent) forms of propaganda. I went to college in my 30s, beyond the age of influence there. All of this to note that 1) there definitely is a vulnerability, and 2) there are many of us who always questioned government authority and viewed it with suspicion. A study on the rise and fall of the Mafia in the US revealed (in my lessor opinion) that we face a huge criminal syndicate that must be taken down RICO-style in a court of law. My latter years working for the military, I worked with all aspects of contingency planning and that lead to another focused study on viruses and pandemics... That background definitely helped my questioning of the “pandemic” and when I found the US patents.... I was a treaty compliance officer for years, so had a little more background... Many of your readers here likely have similar background and all of the posts and comments together lead to greater understanding by all of us.

Since all of this began, I’ve devoured devolution, the series on Russia, the series on Prussian history and so many more that I’ve come to the same conclusion. There is a vulnerability and it primarily manifests in how God created us. This love of truth has been perverted by the enemy via propaganda and lies over eons. The other part, and most important, is the enemy doesn’t recognize having a vulnerability at all. So, when they counted on technology to seal our fate, they truly did not grasp that this would be used by truth-lovers to expose the truth and eventually overturn their plans.

God bless you, our curious and brilliant tiger! 🙏. Again, thank your wife for her support of your efforts, because what you do matters!
