Yea - certainly a high moment of frustration led to this. Normally I might temper my comments to try to be more positive, but I didn’t want to ignore the moment that I think a lot of people see and feel. I’m hopeful there’s still opportunity to fix it but some days feel more discouraging than others.

Keep your head up Aaron. The premise of this essay runs through my head more often than I would like to admit. How do I get off the ride? How do I disconnect from the matrix? I know its doable and I have been researching it endlessly, but alas it may be out of my breathe of expertise and seems, in a way, more frightening than staying on the ride, but far more worthwhile & fulfilling. As I approach retirement, I really think unplugging from this ride is a real possibility for my wife & I, but I am not sure I can ask that of the rest of my family. It has to be a personal decision to unplug from this world that controls the way we think, what we eat, the way we live, a world that tells us what is wrong and what is right, a world where there are no longer two paths diverging in the woods, but has been limited to one road with all lanes all moving in same direction. Still, there are many who feel it will always be easier to stay plugged in, promote the lies, live the lies, and wander mindlessly on that one directional road towards the inevitable bloody end. Peace, Love, & Liberty seem unattainable while we remain on this restrictive ride.

This is so eloquent. So beautifully written, a poetic version of the rant that we all think in our minds and feel in our hearts. Our truth given wings. Thank you Aaron.

Thanks so much for reading it. It was really heavy and I wasn’t even sure I should put it out - but I think it certainly captures a very strange moment in our history.

You beautifully expressed what so many people are thinking, me and my immediate family among them. I'm shocked on a regular basis as I watch people I had considered friends and like-minded individuals complying with the "roll over and play dead" game of the current establishment. It's a surreal experience to see that what I have perceived on deep layers of my consciousness since my teenage years is being thrust into full view. In a way, it's validating, as I can now see clearly that my rebellious nature has always had a strong foundation to stand upon. And, during these times, I'm grateful to finally be connecting to people who perceive the world the way I do. Thank you for having the courage to post this!

Oh boy - this was tough to listen to because I have been feeling the same way on this rollercoaster. After putting everything I had into volunteering for RFKJ, and now having to see my brainwashed friends bow down to

Kamala when they can’t even tell me what she stands for, is insane.

If you find a corner in the world that is sane, let us know!! Thank you for all your wisdom and thoughtful essays. They have meant so much to more people than you are aware 🙏💜
