Thoughts From the Road
I am so grateful to my friends, family and Substack Subscribers for supporting me on this journey - every moment of every day is a breath of fresh air and unexpected gifts received and given.

Dear Freedom Friends,
As I’ve been driving across the country with the People’s Convoy, I’ve had so many thoughts flying through my head! Some are triggered by signs held by the thousands of supporters who have flocked to the roadside and overpasses or those written on the vehicles in the convoy. Others are the result of the most amazing, intriguing, unique and faith-renewing conversations I’ve had with people who start off as complete strangers and end up saved into my contacts as new friends.
I’ve decided to share the thoughts of the past three days here, in a substack article!
I present all of these as my thoughts, based upon my experiences on Earth, knowing they may change in the future, as I learn new and different things. Or not. The point is not to guarantee (or prevent) the changing of one’s mind. The goal is to maintain a broadly open door to information, so mind-changing opportunities do not pass us by.
Arizona — February 25th, 2022 — “We all know we cannot understand another person’s thoughts without asking. Yet, we do so, again and again. This is one of those human errors that I think worth acknowledging and protecting against. Far better is to step up and ask people to speak for themselves. Why do people not do this? Largely, I believe, because of fear. Surely human society on Earth would be better if we faced this fear? Who agrees that “reaching across the divide,” whether in Washington DC or in our own communities is a great idea?” Story: Daryl Davis.
Arizona — February 25th, 2022 — “This morning, the Vice President of the Navajo Nation came out to meet the People’s Convoy and offered a blessing during our morning address. It was a great reminder of the diversity of those inspired by the People’s Convoy and the many hopes and dreams that exist within our diverse, rolling community.” Story: Vice President Lizer and Second Lady join Trump for signing of
Missing and Murdered Indigenous Relatives Awareness Day proclamation.
Arizona — February 25th, 2022 — “Labels suck. For example: I’m a Berniecrat Environmentalist with a Democrat Party Background and many Liberal & Progressive values, yet I deeply value our rights to own firearms and I’ve lost all trust in the Democratic Party after witnessing their disregard for the people’s will during the 2015-16 primary and 9 days of citizen journalism during the DNC in Philly in 2016. Labels simply do not do me justice - nor do I believe they do anyone else justice!
Which is why I’m in 7th heaven. There’s something amazing happening in the People’s Convoy. It’s as if, we know deep in our souls that we are amongst the diversity of our society and everyone is eager to compare notes and hear unique perspectives. You could call us the “Escape from Echo Chambers Convoy!” Every person is indulging their curiosity, as if we’ve all given ourselves permission to ask clarifying questions, to speak up about our thoughts and views (that we might normally hold back out of a desire to avoid conflict), and as a result, we are all finding ourselves delighted by what I can best describe as an infusion of open-mindedness and open-heartedness.” Turn off the TV.

New Mexico — February 25th, 2022 — “In 1890, the US Army massacred upwards of 370 Lakota People (unarmed men, women, elders, children, babies) at Wounded Knee. Those English-speaking American soldiers were motivated by their own beliefs, convinced the Lakota People were dangerous, believed their American Culture to be superior and they acted upon those beliefs and fears. In the same way, huge swaths of American Society have adopted a “One Way Only” attitude about how to move through the Covid Experience. Diversity be damned!
Am I angry about this? You BET I am. The people who have chosen to practice, participate in, celebrate, justify and defend Medical Apartheid in places like New York City, Washington State, King County and California (to name a few deeply midnight blue regions of the USA - Quebec, Austria, Australia, India and China are similarly distressing) should know better than to repeat the mistakes of the past:
Vashon Islanders & Seattle Residents who stood by and watched as their Japanese American neighbors were forced into internment camps.
German citizens who did little to nothing to defend their fellow Germans who were not “card carrying” Nazis (or were unable to pass, due to their Romani or Polish or Jewish heritage, etc).
American Soldiers in 1890, who shared Commissioner Morgan’s attitudes as expressed in October 1889: “The Indians must conform to “the white man’s ways,” peaceably if they will, forcibly if they must. They must adjust themselves to their environment, and conform their mode of living substantially to our civilization. This civilization may not be the best possible, but it is the best the Indians can get. They cannot escape it, and must either conform to it or be crushed by it. The tribal relations should be broken up, socialism destroyed, and the family and the autonomy of the individual substituted.”
The United States Public Health Department that intentionally experimented on Poor Black Sharecroppers by leaving them sick with Syphillis for decades after a sure fire cure was discovered: Tuskegee Syphillis Trials. BUT, this is only one well-known study. The truth is, White Public Health & Big Pharma experimentation on Black and Brown men and women and children is a huge, rarely acknowledged problem in the USA and in Africa & South America. If you want to know more, I recommend THIS BOOK.
JUST TO BE CLEAR. Are you a Vax-Pass carrying American who loudly declares that economic & employment blackmail isn’t force, while tattling on local business owners to the Public Health Snitch Lines? Then, yes. I am angry with you. I do not trust you. I will not forgive you. And I will never forget. If you chose to use the Covid Injections, that’s not my business and you have my complete support to make that decision.
Your body, your choice. But, you crossed a line when you justified the elimination of Informed Consent and voluntarily chose to become a bystander (or an active, citizen soldier) in the war against Human Rights.
Harriet A. Washington also wrote this book: Carte Blanche: The Erosion of Medical Consent. If you’re involved with the military, planning to go into Public Health or simply care about the future of Human Rights, I think you’ll appreciate her work.
New Mexico — February 25th, 2022 — Think Medical Apartheid and Modern Eugenics isn’t a real thing? Think again. Then, READ THIS and LISTEN. Here’s a quote from South Africa, to start you on your way: “In particular, during apartheid, there was an entire branch of government devoted to what the doctors who ran it called the war against anti-apartheid people. One of their stated goals - openly stated - was to develop contraceptives that could be administered surreptitiously to Black people and render them infertile without their knowledge.”
New Mexico — February 25th, 2022 — “There are many convoys in the world and also in the USA today. I am traveling with this convoy: ThePeoplesConvoy.Org. If you want to know what "banner” we roll under, I suggest you explore this website. Or don’t. But, whatever you do, avoid finding someone who doesn’t like us, listening to their opinion and then believing you understand us. In other words: Don’t be the United States Military of 1890 all over again.”
New Mexico — February 25th, 2022 — “I want people to think about Erin Brokovich.
So many people love this story! A single mom with two kids and no college degree who worked her butt off and uncovered/proved the illegal activities of a powerful corporation. Unfortunately, many people who love this story have not learned the lesson. As a 25-year Informed Consent Advocate with a passion for the topics related to Vaccine Medicine and Human Rights, I (and so many like me) am very much like Erin Brokovich. Yet, the same people who LOVE this movie have a knee-jerk inclination to dismiss me out of hand. Why? Because I’m a mom of two kids without a college degree who has worked her butt off and uncovered/discovered the illegal activities of a powerful corporation? That can’t be it?
So, what causes otherwise intelligent, critical thinkers to avoid questioning the ethics of a Pharmaceutical Industry that has been convicted of felony crimes again and again and again? In 2019, “The former chief executive of Insys Therapeutics pleaded guilty on Wednesday to engaging in a scheme to bribe doctors to prescribe an addictive opioid medication and has agreed to become a government witness,” according to Reuters. Prosecutors allege that from 2012 to 2015, Babich and others conspired to bribe doctors in exchange for prescribing Subsys, which contains an opioid 100 times stronger than morphine. Prosecutors said that Babich may face up to 25 years in prison.”
Andrew E. Lelling, the United States attorney in Massachusetts who pursued the case, explains: “Just as we would with street-level drug dealers, we will hold pharmaceutical executives responsible for fueling the opioid epidemic by recklessly and illegally distributing these drugs, especially while conspiring to commit racketeering along the way.” Read Full JDSupra Article.
Yet, despite all of this: a vastly college-educated generation of First World Nation citizens drove for miles, pulled up their sleeves and injected themselves with an experimental product produced by Big Pharma Corporations with a history of eugenics projects, illegal human experimentation on poor, black and brown global citizens, and nearly total control over “regulatory agencies in name only,” run by “revolving door corporate insiders” and deep economic ties with the political class and economically consolidated, global media corporations.
Why?
I don’t have the answer. I wish I did. And now, I need to get back on the road (I’ve been working in a great café with excellent WiFi) and catch up with the Convoy! Tomorrow, I will touch upon the incredible experiences and conversations I’ve enjoyed since entering Texas, rolling through Oklahoma and now arriving in Missouri!
Please share my Substack forward and, if you enjoy my writing, consider upgrading to a paid subscription. After 25 years of endless community service, I believe I have much to offer that is worth the cost of a coffee each week. If enough people agree, I will be able to pay off my mortgage by November 2025 and protect/preserve our family farm for our sons and their loved ones, their children and their children and so on!
Thank You Thank you Thank you❤️
