What Must Be Protected...
Humans living in the West are being hunted. We are prey, a target, in danger. It's time to raise the alarm, rally together, shore up defenses, and PROTECT OURSELVES. But, how?
This is the first in a series…

Western Civilization is not collapsing.
Western Civilization is being collapsed.
And we are running out of time. To prevent ourselves from falling under the brutal control of the most dangerous totalitarian regime imaginable, we must recognize our enemies. Tragically, they are foreign and domestic. But, who? Where? What do they look like?
Surely, the people I desperately want to trust…can’t be my enemy…?
Question: Why we are being duped?
In America, Australia, New Zealand and Canada (I’m leaving out Central / South America and Europe for a few reasons) — we have some things going for us!
Our greatest strengths are the following:
Our natural resources
Our people
Our recent experience with representational governance
Our ability to communicate widely and instantly.
And, our greatest weaknesses are these strengths turned against us.
Our natural & human-made resources (making us a target)
Our people (most are heavily brainwashed and easy to manipulate)
Our history (fooled into trusting our government by supposed political success)
Our perception that we are free to communicate (while communication is, in fact, being manipulated, restricted, controlled, and used to cancel the very voices we most need to hear)
What can we do about it?
A bunch of stuff! That’s the beauty of life on Earth. Everything is VAST. Including options!
There are truly as many “options” as there are people in the world, but that’s a hard concept to grasp. We can barely comprehend the endlessness of space, the size of numbers (do you really understand what a billion is? Or a trillion?), the depths of the ocean, the dryness of the Sahara Desert, the iciness of Russia’s frozen tundra, or the massiveness of Antarctica.
When humans (tiny) are faced with humanity’s problems (humongous), we all fall victim to these false beliefs at one time or another:
The problems are too big. They can’t be solved. The sky is falling and we’re all doing to die!!!!!
I’m too small. My effect is minute, so my actions are meaningless in the context of the problems we face. Therefore, trying to fix things in ignorant, naive and stupid.
These are completely untrue. As are their opposites!
The problems aren’t real. They’re made up. Nothing is wrong and there are no problems to solve. (Anyone have a bucket of sand I can bury my head in?)
Here I come to save the day! If I just had enough money, or a big enough platform, I could solve everything for everyone! (I’m Bill Gates…)
But, honestly. What can you or I do — all on our lonesome — against a tsunami of humanity running straight into the pits of Hell at full speed?
A lot, because the majority of us are NOT alone.
The bulging, fat middle zone of an opinion bell curve is where most of us live.
Our national opinions ARE primarily balanced, neutral, and in the middle ground. If this graph were colored to reflect political wedge issues, you’d see the far left 2.14% painted midnight blue (like where I live), the left 13.59% would be light blue, the middle 68.26% would be a beautiful purple, the right 13.59% would be light red, and the far right 2.14% would be a deep, blood red.
It is in that wide, purple swath, that true majority opinion can be found, with the 13.59% on either side finding it quite easy to discuss issues with folks in the purple middle. It’s only the screamers at either end who can’t hear, won’t listen, are intolerant, closed-minded and abusive to folks with a differing viewpoint.
In other words — the Bell Curve reflects reality.
But, If You Read the Headlines — You’d Never Know.
Beginning in the 1990’s, exploding throughout the Western World in the early 2000s, blistering communities a la the Pertussis Wave of 2010-2012 and two Measles “epidemics” numbering in the dozens or couple hundred — the Vaccine Push of the early 21st Century culminated in an astonishing event, as a Lab Created, Gain of Function Manipulated Virus known as SARS-CoV2 was released upon the world.
In the deluge of manipulative media and coercive government mandates that followed, BILLIONS of people were injected with a new, experimental mRNA technology/serum that everyone (in the public) paid for with their tax dollars. Meanwhile, no one (in the public) has been allowed to review the results of our funding. We don’t even know the ingredients.
Well before Covid…
The Pro-Vaccine Narrative was being aggressively pushed on every front, and most people with a neutral opinion were entirely shut down and gagged by public pressure. During that time, I stayed vocal and continued to talk to people at every level. That’s how I discovered that almost everyone has an opinion that falls in the bulging middle of the Bell Curve.
Including politicians, all of whom are forced to support their party’s platform, which will inevitably go against their own beliefs at one point or another. If you’re a Republican who supports abortion and wants strict gun laws, or a Democrat who seeks to protect Informed Consent by eliminating all vaccine mandates and banning trans hormones and surgeries for children under eighteen — you keep your opinions to yourself. Or you’re out of a job.
Again and again, while “the screamers” dominated the headlines, and public talking heads said whatever they were told to say — I had hundreds upon hundreds of conversations with people at every level of society, from every political party, of every religion, with children and without, rich or poor, heavily vaccinated to those who’d never had a vaccine in their life.
And almost all were ideologically in the middle.
But, newspapers aren’t sold with stories of balanced thinking and a community at peace with itself. They’re sold with discord, fear, anger and uncertainty. Even worse — the Bought & Sold Out Global Media machine sells whatever their masters wish them to sell.
Here’s a great cartoon illustrating what we all know to be true, shared by Robert W. Malone MD, MS in his Sunday Strip this morning:
It’s time for a Political Spring Cleaning.
Recently, I saw a video clip of Harrison Ford speaking somewhere to an audience. He said, in summary, that “the young” had been failed by previous generations and that they were smart and ready to step up and fix all the problems, so our job (as the older generations) was to get out of their way.
I shuddered.
You could not more eloquently call for the next Mao’s Revolution or invite this century’s Stalin into the room, begging someone else (in this case, the youth) to take over and bear the heavy weight of responsibility for society’s future.
I loved Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Leia, like any other child of the 1970’s.
But, there were wise elders in that fantastical science fiction story. Leia worked with older, more mature leaders from various worlds, human and non-human. Han Solo had a Wookie to bend his ear. And of course, who can forget Luke Skywalker’s mentors?
By the way, do you know where the word “mentor” comes from? I didn’t, until I started writing this Substack — “The term "mentor" goes all the way back to Homer’s classic, The Odyssey. In this famous epic, a character named Mentor (actually disguised as the goddess of wisdom, Athena), instructs Odysseus’ son, Telemachus, that he must stand up against his enemies, and search for knowledge.”
(Hey, Harrison! I recommend that you step up, accept the mantle of elder, and offer to “mentor” those young humans who you respect and admire. They shouldn’t be left to fend for themselves, in this complex world. You might be tired — God knows I am more tired now than ever before — but it’s our job, our role, our responsibility to be there to support, listen, guide and offer sage wisdom to the younger generations of today.)
Back to Spring Cleaning! Here’s what I do (and don’t) mean by that term:
We DO NOT NEED a brand new system of governance. The one we’ve got is awesome!
We DO NEED to maintain it by, for example: brushing away the cobwebs, replacing rotten boards, renewing the roofing, refreshing the paint, cleaning the chimney, and eventually replace all the piping.
The United States of American, for all that it’s unique and special in the world, is not a brand new concept. The writers of our Declaration of Independence, Constitution and Bill of Rights leaned into human history for examples of success — borrowing from Greece, Rome, Britain, the Great Thinkers of the Enlightenment, Humanism, the Protestant Revolution, the Bible, and more.
We have it much easier — because we have the great successes and mistakes of the past 250 years to lean on.
For example, we can see (as our founders could not) exactly how our system of “checks and balances” has succeeded and where the “checks and balances” failed.
As another example, we can see (as our founders foresaw but could not prove) that political parties have become devastating engines of division and control, with their own interests far outweighing the interests of the people and the nation.
Even more striking, we can see (as our founders also foresaw) that monied/corporate interests have captured our modern & vastly influential media infrastructure, eliminating the Freedom of the Press through the simple mechanism of ownership and internal censorship.
Home Ownership is part of the American Dream. It’s ubiquitous to our society and culture. In fact, many Americans are amazed when they discover how rare home ownership is in European countries, for example.
Yet, here’s the hard truth about home ownership. You’ve got to do the maintenance! And it’s work. It costs money, energy and time. It’s not always easy. Nor is it all that exciting. It’s certainly not sexy. Ask any homeowner, and they’ll tell you. But, it’s got to get done, or you’ll soon find yourself without a home.
Wake up and (while sipping your coffee) start reading the founders!
That might sound strange. It shouldn’t.
The founders were amazing thinkers, working hard together to support a common goal, at a time when there were few distractions and very little by way of cheap entertainment. In a very real way, these men and their wives had little better to do than consider the state of affairs and wonder how things could be better. They were also classically educated and very lucky to have access to both the historical record and turbulent examples of revolutionary thinking that arose during their time.
But, those are just my opinions. Read their words and decide for yourself!
“According to Washington, one of the chief dangers of letting regional loyalties dominate loyalty to the nation as a whole was that it would lead to factionalism, or the development of competing political parties. When Americans voted according to party loyalty, rather than the common interest of the nation, Washington feared it would foster a “spirit of revenge,” and enable the rise of “cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men” who would “usurp for themselves the reins of government; destroying afterward the very engines, which have lifted them to unjust dominion.”
~ George Washington (with the editorial support of James Madison and Alexander Hamilton)
Our Founders Are Our Nation’s Primary Sources
I know enough about Christianity to offer this example. Throughout Christian history, many people have claimed to know the will of God. They’ve either said, “this is my interpretation of the Bible,” or they’ve said, “listen to me, trust me, believe what I say, because I speak for God.”
In both cases, while they acknowledge the ultimate authority of the Bible, many do not encourage their followers to actually read the Bible, certainly not in full. The Catholic Church went even further, for over a thousand years, by limiting sermons to Latin, which the parishioners didn’t speak or read, leaving them entirely at the mercy of the Priesthood.
Such religious leaders might repeat a few, cherry-picked phrases from the Bible, to convince others that they speak biblically “with the authority of God.” But, most religious leaders within the Christian World have been quick to say, “trust me,” rather than, “read the Bible and trust yourself.”
YET — of all these many hundreds of thousands of preachers/priests/religious leaders/cultists who have sought to command obedience from the pulpit, almost all of them disagree with one another!
What’s a good Christian to do?
Read the Bible from front to back.
Ask God to help you see clearly.
Maybe seek out various bible study groups.
But, no matter what, think for yourself. Do Not Delegate.
In other words, don’t check your personal responsibility at the door. Because, if you are a Christian, you know your soul is on the line, and isn’t that a responsibility worth taking seriously?
In the same way, our government deserves our personal attention.
We should not delegate responsibility for our system of co-existence to political parties (of all things), their puppets and front men, or those who finance their political warfare. After all, what’s the primary definition of a campaign? “A series of military operations undertaken to achieve a large-scale objective during a war.”
In closing, let me share this amazing letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the son-in-law of John Adams, in 1787. I found the full letter when I went searching for this particular quote. Click on the link, and prepare to be amazed…
Hello Dear Reader,
This single Substack took me over a week, and about 16 hours, to write. This is not because I write slowly. I compose quickly and type around 35 words per minute. What takes up so much time is the thinking, considering, and researching that goes into my Substacks. I don’t rush my work, my message, or my publishing date. If the article isn’t ready yet, then so be it.
Despite often writing about topics I am already familiar with, I don’t come here to tell you what I think I know. I come to my keyboard with an inspiration, an idea that excites me, or a new perspective that sheds light on important issues of the day. While writing, I check everything along the way. From spelling to grammar, word definitions to quotes, primary sources to images that illustrate my point, and then I re-read, revise, edit, and rewrite — at least twice.
Along the way, I learn so much — and you hopefully receive an enjoyable read, in your email inbox, with information that is pertinent, interesting, logically presented, and flows well from one topic to the next.
Substack is wonderful, because it has allowed me to achieve a level of success as a published writer. As in, someone who is paid for their work. With your support, that dream will grow and I will achieve financial and personal independence.
That goal requires long hours spent at the keyboard — growing my Substack community — and even more hours flipping through ten years worth of handwritten notes pertaining to my novel series, which I’m very happy to be working on once again! All in between the normal routines of life and the seasonal busyness of “spring cleaning,” getting our garden up and running, chasing off coyotes, raccoons and eagles, and waiting for new chicks to hatch!
It’s a busy life. A good life. I appreciate every day that I’m alive, and I am grateful for the abundance and endless opportunities afforded to us by this beautiful planet we are blessed to call our home.
