Children of the Sky

Some days when I'm dreaming, I think of how far I have come
All my life's led to this and now I see what I've become
I always had doubted that I could ever be someone
That mattered, that shattered all these glass ceilings up above

All that I want
Is to see all the things that I could be
Destiny is calling me

We are children of the sky, flying up so high
Let me be that one to find the brightest sun
We are children of the sky, guided by the light
Let me reach new heights, stars amongst the night
Children of the sky

I cannot give up hope, though there are storms within my seas
Won't turn back when I lack, sometimes it's hard just to believe
I've wanted to save us from ourselves
Just wanted to raise up, to save us from ourselves

All that I want
Is to see all the things that we could be
Destiny is calling me

We are children of the sky, flying up so high
Let me be that one to find the brightest sun
We are children of the sky, guided by the light
Let me reach new heights, stars amongst the night

When we look back, what we will see?
We were a part of everything
Up in the heavens, down in the seas
We were a part of everything
When we look back, what we will see?
We were a part of everything
Up in the heavens, down in the seas
We're a part of everything

We are children of the sky
Flying up so high ,stars amongst the night
Children of the sky
Take me to new heights, children of the sky)
We're children of the-

-Imagine Dragons

There was a mission, a calling, a family. It was finally time to awaken. “And some days, when I'm dreaming, I think of how far I have come. All my life's led to this and now I see what I've become. I just wanted to raise up, to save us from ourselves. And now, when we look back, what we will see? We will see we were a part of everything, up in the heavens, down in the seas, WE were a part of everything. Children of the sky.”

“From the dawn of time we came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering. No one has ever known we were among you . . . until now” -Ramirez (Sean Connery, Highlander)

It all makes sense now, the pain, the lessons. We were the ones we were waiting for.

Long ago, there was a plan, a mission, a calling, a family. It is now time, the awakening has begun.

Getting back up

There is something beautiful about people who have tasted bitterness but are still determined to savor the sweetness life has to offer. It takes great faith in something higher and bigger than us to be this strong and survive. And to be this way, choosing to wrestle with this truth, is what elevates us, and everyone around us. Its a frequency thing, they emanate this kind of beauty and faith, it penetrates the void and is infectious to those around them. You can feel it in their presence, they have a sense of calm warmth and they refuse to let life take that from them. I love these kinds of people, people who have stayed gentle in a world that has tried to harden them. To be this resilient and strong is a learned gift, it takes great strength to endure this fragility and not lose the clarity of the beauty beyond the veil of this challenging journey.

These people have known darkness but still offer their light to others. Their kindness is real and genuine, never a tactic or a strategy. These are the people who are here to lift us up, it was always part of the bigger plan. These are the people who give more than they take, they do it willfully and with great love from the heart, even when they are some of the people amongst us to have suffered the greatest of pains and tragedies.

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it, and you surround yourself with the people who make you laugh and never stop caressing us with love.

It is not about forgetting the bad and focusing on the good. Learn to transmute the pain into a respect for the love that came from it, after all, if there wasn’t a great love there, there cannot be great pain when it is gone. The key is to see that, and recall the good, and build our lives forward on that love. Rumi once said that goodbyes are only for those who live only through sight, for love is forever, all we need to do is close our eyes and remember. The love never goes away, in fact, it grows larger and deeper as the pain eases. In our darkest moments, we must have faith in that fact.

Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living.

The Wounded Healers

“You have to keep breaking your heart, until it opens.” -Rumi

“The people who will know how to survive these coming times of great upheaval will be the wounded healers, the ones who have had their hearts broken over and over again until it has cracked wide open, the ones who have learned from their experiences and now know how to heal themselves.  Because, people who have been broken and know how to put themselves back together again hold the spiritual power of regeneration; they know what it is like to die and to be reborn in a single lifetime. Earth is going through a collective death right now and the people who know how to rebirth themselves will know how to be the midwives for the rebirth of the earth, too.” - Laura Matsue

There is a class of healers amongst us known as the wounded healers. You cannot be born a wounded healer, nor can you be made one. They create themselves through adversity, trial and error, pain and suffering. They conquer fear and find a way to speak their truth, even if they are afraid, because the understand that everything we want in life is on the other side of fear. These healers will bring light to those who are alone and afraid. These healers have found a way out of their darkness, and were able to hardness that wisdom that was gained through their pain and suffering, and were able to use it to help others. These healers are a different kind of warrior and they are the epitome of resilience.

Some say they are not afraid of hell, because they have already lived it. -Chris Yellowbird

I have lost track of how many times I have “died” and yet came back here stronger. But, consequently, I am well prepared for what is next, for humanity. I have never understood this cycle of death and rebirth, until these last 5 years. It is clear to me now, all that I have experienced in my life was training for just this time, as we all head “into the mystic”.

I’ll hear and see you again Dad, soon. Hold the line “out there” in the mystic in the meantime. I’ll find you Pops, like I promised.

35 to 45: In the air tonight

Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord

I’ve seen your face before my friend, and I don’t know if you know who I am

I was there and I saw what you did, Saw it with my own two eyes

So you can wipe off that grin, I know where you’ve been, it’s all been a pack of lies

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord

I’ve been waiting for this all my life, Oh Lord, Oh Lord

You don’t fool me, I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord

I’ve been waiting for this all my life

For many lifetimes, Oh Lord

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, Oh Lord

Lifetimes, I’ve been waiting.

And the time has come, Oh Lord, you had better pray.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight.

And I am ready. Are you ?

*Study the words, study the video clip, the words tell a secret story and the video shows it. If you are careful, study, think logically, it is all there, the assassins are all right there, and it is in the air tonight. Wait until the truth is revealed, you will then understand what I was saying here.

Oh Lord, He is coming, in the air tonight, the time has come, to make it right. In the air tonight.

35 to 45. Bloodlines. Family. A 60 year plan to save the world. 35 started it, 45 will finish it. It is biblical. Get your house in order.

Where have you been Shawn?

Someone asked me recently, “Shawn, where is your usual website article; it has been awhile ?”

A very truthful statement.

My response is typically, purposefully, calculated.

“If I were to tell you what I have been up to, you would never believe me.”

Frankly, I am tired of being ridiculed by those who are brainwashed and asleep. So, instead, I refer them over to my TWITTER feed with the preemptive warning,

“you are likely not ready for what you are about to learn. The truth is a force of nature, and it will rattle many lives and many brains. I tell them, be sure you are in a good place before you venture over to my Twitter Feed. I tell them to start backwards, from November 1st, and move to the present day.”

I also tell them that over the last 2 years here on my website I have been leaving breadcrumbs along the way, particularly in my articles from 2021 to present day. But then I mention that those efforts were not adequately successful. So I headed over to Twitter, where I could leave entire loafs, and reach more people.

PS: you do not need a twitter account, you can just type in the following into any browser and scroll through my feed. I can back up anything you read.

The Dark Night of the Soul

“A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still.”

This is the most important work you will do in your lifetime here on earth.

In my opinion, if this lady's ten minute lecture does not shake something in you, you are not ready for what is about to come. BUT WAIT, do not watch it just yet, please, read this first.

The process to ensue shortly, will be just this, it will be the Dark night of the Soul for many here on Terra, Earth. We must traverse the darkness of the night, to reach the light. This is the process we must endure, and I argue, it must be embraced to the fullest of its pain and struggle if we are to get to the other side of the lies, to the land of the truth and enlightenment, the realm of our spirit and soul. In order for us to grow, we must be pushed into places of discomfort, sometimes great discomfort. This is that time.

If you are a little fearful, good, then it is the right thing. If you are comfortably numb, and cocooned in a place of quiet compliance and contentment, I am deeply worried for your well being. In order for you to remember who you truly are, why you are here, your soul’s journey, the suppressed memories on your DNA must be triggered by a great event, of a magnitude so great that there is no other option than to wade into the storm, and endure. For on the other side of this storm, you will find yourself, your spirit, your soul, in a realm you cannot conceive possible, yet regardless, real and true and honest and free.

So fear not, there are many here to walk this path with you, some have been here a long time, waiting, preparing, like this lovely lady. We will be together, beside you, if you stumble and fear. Lean on us, through this dark night of your soul. The journey is worth it, trust the process, trust us.
It is God's plan.

But first, if you are a little unnerved by what you have just read, stop and read these 2 short pieces first, so I can set the stage for you. I have been at this awhile, a long while in fact, arguably too long, but this is God's plan, this you MUST understand. I was sparked to begin writing these pieces a few years ago, as their dates will indicate, as my own process was triggered. But as I wrote, my messaging became stronger, with 2 pieces specifically, "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark", and "Comfortably numb", and the writings escalated from there.

As my website suggests, I have always written so that I could digest the far corners of my mind, the things that vexed me, so that I could better understand the topic and understand something deeper within me. These 2 pieces however (and several of the others from 2021 onwards), were written in part for the reader, in an attempt to create a spark of similar curiosity, to initiate the message. Question everything is a inner operation mode for me, and it is what has brought me to this arrival. So, read those 2 pieces, and then watch the video here; the path to your soul's awakening and blossoming may become more clear. This is my greatest wish for you, for us all. I do not have the answers, I am on this grand journey as well, so let us walk together.

Welcome to the new world my brother, my sister. Welcome to our inheritance, the days of gold are about to unfold before us.

But first, there is that storm we must walk though, together. And I see darkening clouds on the edge of town.

“It takes a great spirit to be a willing participant in our ego’s own demise.” -Sarah Elkhaldy

Much love,

-Shawn (Nov 15, 2022)

Facts are facts: We are inside a historical event.

*I am not taking credit for this work, rather, I am spreading the great work and word of Derek Johnson. You can find the complete extensive and exhaustive military and constitutional documents put together this amazing military hero and patriot, here at thedocuments.info at www.the1776nation.com His daily educational teachings can be found on TELEGRAM under this link: https://t.me/rattletrap1776 The world needs more patriots like Derek. God Bless you fine Sir !

President Trump declared 3 National Emergencies in 2018 and 2020, that Congress failed to address, which is a violation of Federal Law via the Constitution, which is why 35,000 plus National Guard members went to D.C. and placed fences around the capitol building which is actually 47 US Code 606, titled War Powers of the President that specifically says, “can shut down the use of Government Facilities.” It wasn’t for the fake inauguration.
47 US Code 606: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2015-title47/pdf/USCODE-2015-title47-chap5-subchapVI-sec606.pdf

The National Guard out of their States and outside of the U.S. means they were Federalized, plain and simple. Not to mention, BUT to mention, they’re called NATIONAL guard for a reason . When they are FEDERALized… they bump up to ACTIVE Duty.
All 50 states of the National Guard have been activated since January 2021.
*P-8 Poseidon = Maritime Patrol-P-8 Poseidons have been active every single day since President Trump Federalized the National Guard to Active Duty January 6 & 17, 2021, via Executive Order 13919 & Title 10, 10 US Code Ch 1209, & 10 US Code 12406.
Executive Order 13848 outlines the Maritime Jurisdiction…

Plus, and first, Articles II & IV of the Constitution outline the President’s duties, and with Congress not doing their job which was a National Security Breach , not addressing 3 National Emergencies declared by the President (Trump) , via Executive Orders 13848, 13919, Title 10, 47 US Code 606, the Stafford Act, the Presidential Emergencies Act, a PEAD (for COG, continuity of government) on Nov 3, 2020, all extended President Trumps powers as President in January 2021. Same as FDR serving 13 years as President due to many of the same powers as President.Donald J Trump , was, and still is, your president and Commander in Chief of the worlds greatest military. And things are about to get real, and real fast.
Article II of the Constitution extended President Trump’s Power as President via Executive Orders 12170, 13848, 13919, 13912, Title 10, 10 US Code 12406, 10 US Code 1209, the Stafford Act, and Presidential Emergencies Act (amongst many others) federalizing the National Guard in January 2021.
The Orders won’t be rescinded until National Emergencies are ADDRESSED and displayed to the public. Law & Order > 1776 Law
It is time to understand we are in a Military Occupancy

Again, Law of War Manual pages 754-838 as President Trump and the MILITARY issued THREE, National Emergencies in 2018 and 2020 that were NEVER addressed by Congress = Breach of National Security.
How did he know to issue a National Emergency in Executive Order 13848 signed September 12, 2018, which also included an Election Fraud Committee with very important dates on how they would report after the 2020 Presidential Election, LONG before Covid and the Election… HOW? How did they know if they didn’t already have intelligence and evidence long before 2020 ?
Those were NOT addressed by Congress and PDJT NEVER terminated those as written in Title 50 Chapter 34…
Therefore, with Powers of the President, via Article II of the CONSTITUTION of 1787, not The Federal Corporation of the District of Columbia’s corrupted constitution they don’t want you to know about, President Trump EXTENDED his powers as President, the same as Franklin D. Roosevelt who served 13 years… same scenario, different kind of war…
By Federalizing no more than 1 MILLION of the National Guard to ACTIVE DUTY for no more than 365 CONSECUTIVE days… as signed in 2020 in Executive Order 13912 and 10 US Code Chapter 1209…
This is the First time in United States History all 50 States were Federalized and sent to one location… D.C. as the world watched 35,000 troops storm D.C. placing a FENCE around the Capitol aka Closing of Government Facilities found in 47 US Code 606 titled “War Powers of the President”…
It’s a Blueprint… it’s like a puzzle. But facts are facts.
These are military LAWS and ORDERS placed from 2017 to 2021 that are STILL active and being enforced. We are under a state of emergency.
Learn your Foundation, the Constitution, and the real system of Government and Laws that WORK for us the people

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE LAWS OF WAR> (PROTOCOL):
The LAW OF WAR> MILITARY Action and protocol on foreign occupation inside United States territories and branches of U.S. Governments/offices/sectors that have been occupied by foreign governments/ leaders/ Intelligence/forces, that entity has one year to vacate the U.S. territories and premise. Failure to heed this Warning will result in Full Military defense, retribution and tribulations in accordance with Military Courts, Tribunals, imprisonment or Death.
( this how a senior Military commander stated the Law of Wars in layman's terms )///_____

The illegal election that happened in 2020 was a Military Sting operation to watch the Deep State and their CCP REGIMEN in cohesion/ help from VANGUARD CIA DARPA to control BIG TECH ,MSM outlets and Industries that are also runned by foreign influences that are loyal to Europe Elites add the DAVOS group etc. (Does Elon Musk taking over twitter make more sense now? It should. It was a disinformation and propaganda tool of the Cabal, and now in the hands of the White Hat military).
The military operations were to insure the Deep State would cheat/illegally interfere in U.S elections using foreign powers, foreign occupation, foreign money and social media influences. This domestic [DS] military Coup against a sitting President would ensure activating the LAWS OF WAR PROTOCOL and PROCEDURES that would lead to EXPOSURE of Foreign and Domestic Forces that worked together in a conspired will of corruption to take over the United States and their three branches of government.

On January 20, 2021 the U.S. military white hats issued their first warning to the BIDEN regimen and BLACKROCK, VANGUARD, STATE STREET EXECUTIVES INCLUDING 16 Families and Royals across the world to vacate their actions in the Stolen 2020 U.S. constitutional elections and were told to leave the U.S. territories.

On January 20, 2022 the year long grace period expired and The LAWS OF WAR PROCEDURE WERE FOLLOWED ( and silent military actions operations continued before, during and after the First WARNING of 2021). If people are paying attention to world events (ie. Brazil recently) , and thinking the world has gone mad, well, now you are asking the right questions. I have shared above what is going down, not just in the USA. Think logically. You are now inside the storm.

The military of the countries of the world was the only way out of this mess.

Facts are facts. These are irrefutable. Thank you Derek Johnson of the United States Military

The question is, are you prepared for what is about to occur ?

Still need more proof? I have copied and pasted even more details below from Derek Johnson’s social media account, you can find the complete extensive and exhaustive military and constitutional documents here at thedocuments.info at www.the1776nation.com

*Important post-script: (* You might want to dive deeper into this website over the past 2 years of installments. The hints have grown stronger and stronger. The recent “Ghosts in the the Machine”, “Crumbling and Rising: The Matrix was a Documentary” and “Comfortably Numb” are rather hearty truth suppositories (links to these are up on your right side of this website). “Triumph Over Evil” and “The First 7 Years” just might jolt some hairs up on end as well.

And if those are not enough, what if that which I proposed in “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.” was all correct? (hint: it is ). Then our lives and everything in them, have been lies from the start, and that Facts are facts, is not always the case when they are lies. Can you handle the truth? Because, the truth is a force of nature, and it is heading into town, and nothing can stop what is coming. The piece, “Something is rotten in the state of Denmark” was a turning point for me. It is when I fully realized that my perceived reality of the world was terribly unpopular, and radically different than most people’s. I realized that moving forward from that point onward, life would be lonely, but at least truthful. And I was ready to handle that.

Additional Derek Johnson documents, a brief snippet to tempt you:

How did President Trump know to DECLARE a National Emergency TWO years before Covid and the Presidential Election of 2020?

This EO was also passed in September 2018, TWO months before midterms 2018.
Proving Military Occupancy started in 2016
Plus inside the Order it says:
Including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.) (IEEPA), the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.) (NEA), section 212(f) of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (8 U.S.C. 1182(f)), and section 301 of title 3, United States Code,

• 3 US Code Section 301:https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/USCODE-2020-title3/pdf/USCODE-2020-title3-chap4-sec301.pdf
  Which specifically says:"The President of the United States is authorized to designate and empower the head of any department or agency in the executive branch, or any official thereof who is required to be appointed by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to perform without approval, ratification, or other action by the President (1) any function which is vested in the President by law, or (2) any function which such officer is required or authorized by law to perform only with or subject to the approval, ratification, or other action of the President: Provided, That nothing contained herein shall relieve the President of his responsibility in office for the acts of any such head or other official designated by him to perform such functions. Such designation and authorization shall be in writing, shall be published in the Federal Register, shall be subject to such terms, conditions, and limitations as the President may deem advisable, and shall be revocable at any time by the President in whole or in part.

• Executive Order 13848:Section 1. (a) Not later than 45 days after the conclusion of a United States election, the Director of National Intelligence,

• Sec. 8. For the purposes of this order:(e) the term “United States election” means any election for Federal office held on, or after, the date of this order;

• Congress did NOT address this 2018 National Emergency Declaration.
  President Trump was the first to mention Corona-Virus to the American Public in his February 4, 2020, State of the Union address:

• Then DECLARED Two more National Emergencies March 13 and 27, 2020, that Congress also FAILED to address to the Nation, therefore President Trump had to use War Powers and Emergency Powers of the President granted by Article II and IV of the Constitution, the Presidential Emergencies Act, the Stafford Act, Title 10, and made proclamations in:

Ghosts in the machine

If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him.

Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.

-Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Who is pulling the strings.

All the world is a stage.

You’ll find us in the shadows.

There were those who felt it was more appropriate to ridicule than to look closely at the truth some were offering. We know exactly what we did, we were a piece of the war. We were a piece of the puzzle, that many could not, or refused to not see, despite our efforts. Knowing the codes and lingo was half the battle in deciphering the battlefield. A military sting operation, codes-decodes was the key. We “fought” for our country by steering truth into the lies of the cabal platforms that were killing us all in one way, or another (the virus). We did what we could for our freedom, our constitution, and most importantly the children.

In a non-kinetic information war, social media and social discussion was the battlefield, and memes, talking, and sharing truths were the weapons of such a war.

This was information warfare, World War 3. The second great revolution.

While the majority slept through these years, until the event, some of us were at work, we were the Ghosts in the Machine.

We were the digital soldiers, the ones in the shadows.

It is wake up time.

-Shawn. Oct 24, 2022

(confused? Start here, back in November, 2021, 2 links to prior written posts. They will explain more. Crumbling, then, rising: The matrix was a documentary. Then read “Comfortably numb”

Graphic attached: Who is Ezra Asa Cohen-Watnick ? (born May 18, 1986)[1] is an American intelligence official who served as the acting under secretary of defense for intelligence during the Trump Administration. He previously served as the acting assistant secretary of defense for special operations and low-intensity conflict, national security adviser to the United States attorney general and as a former senior director for intelligence programs for the United States National Security Council (NSC). But, he is someone even more special, on another level, and the reader will find out who he is, soon.

Comfortably numb

You are comfortably numb. And it is about to shake you to your roots. It has compromised your survival, it might even kill you, yet slowly, and then all of a sudden.

It has been all around you. They got to you, and you didn’t even know it. It was stealth, just like in the 1940s, you were programed to be comfortably numb. They kept you busy with a full time day job to pay the bills, and a side job to pay for the kids soccer and music lessons. Then they built social media, to make you realize that the Jones’ kids were doing club soccer or taking private tennis lessons, or gymnastics, or whatever, so you signed your kids up too, and that meant several more hours a week, driving, sitting, waiting while the other chores waited. Then there was your pre-dawn runs that had to happen, the yoga or pilates class, the zoomba classes or bootcamps. Then the chores, some of which you farmed out to try and “buy some time” back. Then you and little people needed fed, then guided on homework, stealth checkups on their social media accounts, then your social media update time to make sure you kept up on the local and global world, trends and passions you only dreamt of getting to. Then, when emails are all answered, lunches packed, schedules checked, you collapse into Netflix or a ball game on the mind control device (tel-lie-vision) where the “programming” and distraction and subconscious reminders to participate in the hedonic treadmill of consumerism, the reminders of drugs you should “ask your doctor about” for that nasty butt rash and insomnia and sporadic anxiety. They were programming us all, softly, stealthily cramming into our limbic systems things we didn’t need, or need to worry about.

This is your life.

This is what you wanted, well, the tel-lie-vision’s (TV) vision of a perfect happy family, of a successful life was what you wanted, not this other unwanted dirt under the fingernails. And so they did all these things to us, so we would not have time, time for you, to look inward, They knew you could be bought, suckered, fooled, programmed, and kept so busy moving your mind into “outward” things to just keep up with the world around you, so that you didn’t have time for “inward things”. Because, if you looked inward, daily, for an hour or more, you would have time to question the hedonic treadmill, the insanity of your, and your kid’s schedules, the unhealthiness of it all. Because, if you looked inward, you could connect to God, connect to your soul, discover your spirit, reconnect with your heart, and the things that really matter. You would have time to critically think about your choices and the world you were a numbed participant in. But, there was no time for that, the latest installment of your 5 running mini-series of Netflix shows was launching tonight, the nighttime comedian had their Johnny Carson slot ready with your favorite musician or celebrity to taut their latest agenda, tequila, movie or favorite charity that you should also take note of and of course, don’t forget the tall glass of your favorite poison created by, and touted by, those same criminals to further perpetuate their plan to keep you comfortably numb. It was always their plan, the whole cabal of them, to program you, to enslave you into keeping up with the Jones’, keeping up with the latest iphone model, the newest SUV, the newest fashions.

They made us slaves, and they made us happy to be as such, or at least, that is what they told us. And we bought it, hook line and sinker, meanwhile they stole our children’s minds and also quite literally stole our children for things unimaginable to those who chose the cabal’s potion of lies that kept them comfortably numb. They were brilliant, they captured many pawns for decades, until some caught on and decided to wage war. Eventually, a sliver of the people saw through the fog, detected the agenda, and unplugged their phones, dropped the streaming services, dropped the ordering in of dinners and lunches, took the kids phones away, removed all social media accounts, stopped the numbing nighttime tall glass of “medicine” , started working out more, reading books, sitting on porches watching the sun rise, and sun sets, reset our clocks to rise with the sun and fall into slumber with the sunsets. And little by little, the agenda became clearer, the birds chirped and we heard them, and the crickets cricked. We started to feel our hearts again, noticed the energy swings of the Schumann Resonance, the earth’s heartbeat. We started smelling the sweetness of the morning air, the peace of every sunrise, the yearning of our hearts, the calmness of our breath, because, because, because we realized we had become uncomfortably numb. And it was time to wake up, and stand up, and fight for God, country and family, and what is right. It was time to wage war on the cabal. “We the people” began to rise; and in time these last 4 years will become known as the 2nd Revolutionary war, an Information war.

The time has now come, if you do not feel it yet, a storm is coming and there is little time left to wake up to the real new agenda of peace, quiet, calmness, laughing, love, God and everything that is pure honest and good.

Hello ? are you hearing me? Is there anybody in there? Just nod if you can hear me.

There is no pain, you are receding. A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon. You are only coming through in waves. Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying.

• Are you picking up what I am laying down? If not, you better read this other piece I wrote a year ago. No, seriously, you need to read it. Crumbling, then Rising: The matrix was a documentary.

Lyrics to Pink Floyd’s “comfortably numb”:

Hello . . . .
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone at home?

Come on now
I hear you're feeling down
Well, I can ease your pain
Get you on your feet again

Relax
I'll need some information first
Just the basic facts
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child I had a fever
My hands felt just like two balloons
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, you would not understand
This is not how I am
I have become comfortably numb

I have become comfortably numb

O.K.
Just a little pin prick
There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?
I do believe it's working, good
That'll keep you going through the show
Come on, it's time to go

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship smoke on the horizon
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move but I can't hear what you're saying
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown
The dream is gone
I have become comfortably numb

Crumbling, then, Rising: The Matrix was a documentary.

An old world is crumbling, let it.

The agenda is becoming painfully obvious, let it.

People are questioning fabricated lies they've been told, let them.

Others, are achingly intertwined in a dark domain of inverted reality - let them be.

Even as the matrix slowly collapses, it still uses mind games and manipulation to distort the truth, let it.

Allow the old reality to crumble.

The disproportionate ideologies of Rome to fall.

Let an inorganic reality built on global pessimism and materialistic addiction collapse.

There is an organic process trying to emerge... let it.

Those who have awakened from the matrix will not find salvation in desperately attempting to prove the matrix to itself.

Let the matrix reap its own karma, its life cycle unwind, as it has no choice but to reveal itself through clumsy missteps of parabolic paranoia and pathological persuasion.

Allow those who have a trauma bond with the matrix, to fall in love with systemic deceit.

Humans have to make mistakes to learn. Let them.

The time and focus spent detailing the corruption and mechanistic means of a dying society, can be spent building and creating anew.

Let the old world meet its fate.

No amount of psychoanalysis will cure or stop a broken system from dying.

Be the doula for a new earth.

You're infinite potential woven into the tapestry of a new timeline.

You're free now, if you'd like to be.

A new earth emerges, let it

- Mary Allison

many of us knew 2-3 years in advance what was happening. We were awake. I tried to tell many about “Q, the plan to save the world”, The greatest military sting in history. As it was all laid out there for me; it was out there for all. i tried to lead with breadcrumbs. I really wanted everyone to join me, but, It required an open mind, and it required homework. It also required faith. Lots of faith.

Welcome out of the matrix. You are free now; we are all free. Slaves no more. -Shawn

I am sharing some things heavy on my heart here, shared this day Nov 10, 2021, before “the event”. Shared here while many still blindly sleep and yet ridicule those who agreed to spend a few years to help with the wake-up program and to do our part to help save America, maybe in some small way the world, and the children. It was always about the children.

There were those who felt it was more appropriate to ridicule than to look closely at the truth some were offering. General Flynn’s digital soldiers and decoders know exactly what we did, we were a piece of the war, the “wake up crew”, a piece of the puzzle, that many could not, and refused to not see, despite our efforts. Knowing the codes and lingo was half the battle in deciphering the battlefield. For example, in the media, testing positive for C-19 meant something different than most people realized, this was a military sting operation, codes-decodes was the key. In a special kind of way, we know we “fought” for our country by steering truth into the lies of the cabal social media platforms that were killing us all in one way, or another (the virus). We did what we could for our freedom, our constitution, and most importantly the children. All the while, many chose to offer ridicule and the chirp of “conspiracy theorist”, meanwhile unknowingly sleeping through the most amazing and most important 3 years this country and world has ever endured. We were here to try and wake the people up, to save them and their children the pain of mistakes and misinformation. Everyone knows someone that was trying to talk clarity and sense into others during this confusing time. Those people were putting their reputation on the line, they were trying to help others to wake up. In a non-kinetic information war, social media and social discussion was the battlefield, and memes, talking, and sharing truths were the weapons of such a war. We were just trying to help.

These last 2-3 years were the most exciting and rewarding of my life. Many who know me know that I put their opinion of me on the line for this cause to try and educate and awaken them to the truth, and lies. Mostly I was met with resistance, laughs, and a jaundiced eye; I expected it, we were told it would often be this way. But, at some point, as things became worse, scarier, I no longer cared what others thought of me and the truths I openly shared, I had to at least try. I continued to speak truth despite chinks in my reputation and a loss of friends, family and clients, something far more important was on the line. Freedom, health, and freeing the children from hell was on the line. While many slept, there were some nights I barely did. In the process many of us lost family and those we thought were friends, others just spoke behind our backs saying we were crazy. We put our reputations on the line for a greater cause, the greatest cause this planet has ever endured. The truth often has a great cost.

Some will dismiss my efforts as meager, I care not, for they know not what I did. We were rewarded with opportunity for our battles and I would do it all over again if I had seen though the fog even sooner than I actually did. The estimated 2-3 thousand hours I put into this journey with a select few others will remain the highlight of my life, without question or comparison. Living “awake” and active during this war was an experience like no other, seeing through the veil of lies and evil as others would not. This was a time of great sadness for me, of anger for what I learned evil can do, of horrors I cannot un-see from what I saw and learned of the children, of frustration that so many would not wake up, and of pain in losing friends and family merely for my beliefs and insights that others refused to open their eyes to. This is going to take us all a long time to heal when the truth comes out, for all of us. However, I share my pains here in the hopes those who hurt me and my friends, and many others who were merely just trying to help, will stumble upon these painful and frustrating words so they can learn from their actions and choices so humanity learns and does not repeat such a time ever again. For me, I will be living silently for the rest of my life on these topics moving forward, we must move forward. There is no other way. Furthermore, and what will be the reward in my mind, aside from knowing the children are free and safe, what I learned and earned will undoubtedly allow me to give back to my country, community, the children of the world, and remaining friends, in abundance.

How many times through history have the “crazy and dismissed” ended up being right and end up changing the world? Countless. A reminder of a lesson to us all, often times those labelled as crazy end up leading the way, they saw the path more clearly. It had nothing to do with being crazy, clarity is a better word. It is a lesson for us all moving forward so the human race does not find ourselves in this mess again, God willing. With some help, sometimes people see the forest more clearly, undistracted by the trees. We can do this with a little help from our friends. All we have to do is listen, and love. Love is the answer, there is nothing else. Love.

“Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes... the ones who see things differently -- they're not fond of rules... You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can't do is ignore them because they change things... they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”- Steve Jobs

God bless the children, those who survived, and the millions we have lost to this evil. We will meet again.

“The matrix”, the movie, was a documentary. Think logically. If you were watching carefully, you saw it.

Now that the war is mostly over, as we go through the last parts of “the movie” together, globally, let us come together, shake hands, hug, laugh, rise up, forgive, and move forward into a new beginning. With abundance and love.

Freedom exists, not to do what you like, but having the right to do what you aught.

Freedom. WWG1WGA (Where we go one, we go all)

-Shawn (Nov 10, 2021)

Now, watch the videos, the 2 below will help us all see “the way”, to see how we got here, and how we get out of it to reach our new world, the one waiting for us. Through the veil, I have seen it, it is glorious. You/we are finally free. I came across the Wayseer video somewhere around 2013-14ish, and a switch flipped. I must have listened to it 20+ times as it resonated deeper. It lead me to others, it led to a kind of awakening to reality. Then I fell back asleep to the hypnotizing rhythms of getting through the days and weeks of life, only to awaken again around 2017-18 when the world began to make little sense again for me. The Wayseer video is powerful, I hope you will take a moment to take it in.

** And finally, If you are confused and scared and feel like you are losing your mind, just reach out to me, I am here for you. Even if you left my circle of life because you thought I was losing my mind, I will not give up on good people who just could not see “the way”. And so, if you want to know of the story, in case you are confused by this whole post and do not understand the underlying context, just goto RUMBLE.com and type in (Q the plan to save the world) and then go back and re-read this post.

The Table

At some point we all have to step out of the shadows, walk to up to the table, pull out the chair, sit, and face the truth.

At some point, we all know our persistent resistance is futile. But, in the meantime, we stand back, resist the chair, stand in the shadows with our fears and lies, and enable our continued suffering. It is as if we feel we deserve it, or do not deserve better. Maybe however, it is our weakness, and fear of the work to be done. Call is lazy, call it fear. What is our truth?

So we stand back, in the shadows of our regret, in the shadows of our shame, and our ill-attempts. We know in our hearts we are not giving our best efforts, we know we are cutting the corners, lying to ourselves, just doing what we need to, just to get by.

Deep in our hearts, we know those half-baked efforts only make it worse and drag out the inevitable. Name your thing, that thing that haunts you. It owns you, until you sit at the table.

So, move to the table, pull up the chair, for there is a reckoning approaching. There will never be a time like this present time in our lifetime, in generation’s lifetimes. There is a storm of all storms heavy on the horizon. Can you feel it ?

It is late September as I write this, and the winds of change are approaching, and I speak not of Autumn. There is an evil in the day’s shadows, and it is about to come face to face with us, and our maker, at the table.

Over the past 3 years I have seen things I cannot un-see. I have been forced to accept things I could not initially believe. These things, . . . . . I had to pull myself up to the table, and just weep. Something had to change.

It owns us all, until we can say we have honestly pulled our chair up snugly to the table, our shadows gathered in open offering hands, and sat with the man, at The Table.

Hear the voice of love that's calling
There's a chair that waits for you
And a Friend who understands
Everything you're going through

But you keep standing at a distance
In the shadow of your shame
There's a light of hope that's shining
Won't you come and take your place

And bring it all to the table
There's nothing He ain't seen before
For all your fear, all your sorrow and your sadness
There's a Savior and He calls
Bring it all to the table

He can see the weight you carry
The fears that hold your heart
But through the cross you've been forgiven
You're accepted as you are

So bring it all to the table
There's nothing He ain't seen before
For all your trials, all your worries and your burdens
There's a Savior and He calls
Bring it all to the table

Bring it all
You can bring it all

And come on in, take your place
There's no one who's turned away
All you sinners, all you saints
Come right in and find your grace

Come on in, take your place
There's no one who's turned away
All you sinners, all you saints
Come right in and find your grace

And bring it all to the table
There's nothing He ain't seen before
For all your sin, all your sorrow and your sadness
There's a Savior and He calls
Bring it all to the table

A final thought for the reader,

I write for me, and me alone. These writings are some of my deepest inner struggles and ponderings. They are my stories. These are also stories I have at times told others in a matter of words, and they have resonated there, so I share them here in case they resonate into the troubled or curious corners of other’s lives. I share what I write because if there is any possibility that my words can reach just one person with similar woes or life’s bigger questions, perhaps it can re-weave more than just one tapestry and change more lives exponentially than my own. 

I write about the things in life that I question, things that vex me, that tear at me, that twist me, things that bounce around my mind and rattle my peace and clarity.  Sometimes I start writing these things when there is a mere spark. At first they might be a solitary word that draws in a thought, sometimes it is a phrase from a song, a movie, a poem, a book. I write until that spark settles. It is very often an incomplete thing, something that has to sit dormant, I like to think it is like planting a seed, it has to sit , growing roots below the surface, until it is time to breach the surface asking for more.  I choose to write about them more when they breach, when it is time they seem to call on me again. Like the muse they seem to beckon me, perhaps in a manner of final confrontation to awaken me, and to silence them, by finding honest meaning in their attempt to blossom.

I do this in the great hopes that in my final days my last breath can be a peaceful exhale, and not an anxious final gripping and denying struggle for the things I denied resolving. This method fuels my life, may it fuel yours as well. 

As Hunter Thompson was once quoted, "One of the few ways I can almost be certain I'll understand something is by sitting down and writing about it. Because by forcing yourself to write about it and putting it down in words, you can't avoid having to come to grips with it. You might be wrong, but you have to think about it very intensely to write about it. So I use writing as a learning tool. "

Triumph over evil

When the grandchildren and nieces and nephews turn to us and ask us about what went down in 2021, and what we personally did to help our country, what will we be able to tell them?

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”

At best, the essence of the quote can be traced back to the utilitarian philosopher John Stuart Mill, who delivered an 1867 inaugural address at the University of St. Andrews and stated: “Let not any one pacify his conscience by the delusion that he can do no harm if he takes no part, and forms no opinion. Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.” (https://www.openculture.com/2016/03/edmund-burkeon-in-action.html)

Rebel, protest, use social media to stand up to evil. In an information war, a social media account is a weapon. It should receive the same constitutional protection as a rifle. This is unconventional warfare.

Do not let criminals tell you how freedom is to be claimed and served. Do not let them tell you how to run your business, what rules you have to play by, what mandates to follow, what vaccines one must take. Following ridiculous rules and mandates (which are not laws) is how, little by little, good trusting people end up on trains, ones on a one way free ride to concentration camps. We have a constitution for a reason. And so many have given it up, because criminal bureaucrats used fear and strong arm tactics to rule docile compliant people. Fear is deadly. Wake up !

Mandates are not laws. “Requirements” are not laws. Stand up to tyranny, or a free train ride may be right around the corner for you and your family.

Marbury v. Madison, 5 U.S. (1 Cranch) 137 (1803), was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that established the principle of judicial review in the United States, meaning that American courts have the power to strike down laws and statutes that they find to violate the Constitution of the United States.

*Decided in 1803, Marbury is regarded as the single most important decision in American constitutional law.[1] The Court's landmark decision established that the U.S. Constitution is actual law, not just a statement of political principles and ideals, and helped define the boundary between the constitutionally separate executive and judicial branches of the federal government.

“...the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void; and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.”

The First 7 years.

Give me the first seven years of a child and I’ll give you the man.

-Francis Xavier (1506-1552) Jesuit founder

As it turns out, trusting anyone with our children for those first 7 years was a mistake.

"Their” teaching of our children on the topics of religion, language, race and gender theory, politics, "evolution", geography, space, energy, history, medicine, science, the list goes on, captured our children's minds. Truly, “captured”.
Of course, this doesn’t mean everyone, there were some good ones in our children’s lives, one’s who could see through the fog of lies, but not many, certainly not enough.

The ignorant were teaching their ignorance, that was taught to them by the ignorant that taught them. It has been going on that long. They got to us, we were asleep. Me, you, everyone.

"They" knew right where to start to get to us, our kids. Change the schools and even daycare, and they had our children by seven, if not shortly thereafter.

Home. A parent at home. Home-schooling. Home-church. Home.

They all look pretty wise right now. Home.

They got us. Now we have to reprogram generations. The confusion will be immense, difficult, painful.

It will be a journey at least three times as long to undo the damage done.

Let history (the real history) teach us, so we do not see this pain again.

-Shawn (October 1, 2021)

“If a man is born ignorant,
to parents that are ignorant,
in a society that is ignorant,
lives a life of ignorance,
and eventually dies of ignorance . . . .
ignorance is the norm.

Thus, indoctorination can be called education,
hypnotism can be called entertainment,
criminals can be called leaders,
and lies can be called the truth,
because his mind was never truly his own.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

“Why prove a man he is wrong? You can’t win an argument, because if you lose, you lose it; and if you win, you lose it.

You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior, you hurt his pride, insult his intelligence, his judgement, and his self-respect.”

- Dale Carnegie

What if everything we knew, everything we based our lives and choices upon, was a lie? What if the “science” we were taught was mostly a lie ? What if this world’s history was a lie? What if this was all done on purpose, not for us, but to us ? Well then, we would need to start to accept a new reality.

This piece of writing sat in my “to publish” file for a long time, in fact, the better part of a year now. But just in the last few weeks has a peace come over me, where being called crazy by so many friends, no longer triggers anything in me, or has me inhibited to share some thoughts and my beliefs. So here we go.

What if Einstein was a shill, and E=MC squared was wrong because he purposefully omitted the ether variable ? What if gravity wasn’t really what we think it is, possibly a lie as well? Why did no one teach us about toroids and toroidal fields and Nikola Tesla’s genius work? What were they hoping we would not learn about and discover more deeply? What if most of our physics we were taught, and based our understanding of the universe upon, was filled with lies ? What about biology ? - what if most of what we have moved forward with in research on the human form, human biology and physiology , even “evolution” was wrong, intertwined with lies? What about our religions, history, geography, climate change, wars and our politics ? What if this was all about control? Lies upon lies, for control. Corrupt science layered on top of corrupt science. Corrupt history layered on top of corrupt history. Corruption on top of corruption. At some point the pot boils over if left on the heat long enough, and I think we are at that moment in time, soon at least, very soon. Our present reality may be about to abruptly change because there are too many glowingly obvious cracks in the foundation (well, for some of us I suppose). Like the water of the Fall season, creeping into the cracks of our foundation, then the freezing winter cold, enabling the water to expand and crack open even the largest and apparently firmest of rock-solid foundations.

“A man convinced against his will, is of the same opinion still.”

“Science” as we know it, with many of it’s lies about to be exposed, has shown us that even in the light of facts that contradict firmly held beliefs, a man often tends to ignore the facts, and sadly, a significant number of people will become event more entrenched in “their beliefs” even when presented with further mounting evidence. Hasn’t the pandemic year 2020-2021 shown this clearly enough ? The facts are right in front of us all, but many, largely because of fear and conditioning, and the principle I have laid out above, will disregard the facts. This is the principle of cognitive dissonance. This lets evil easily slip in the back door. Tainted persuasion is a powerful tool. Little by little, like Fall’s droplets of water seeping into the cracks, waiting for the winter freeze, where water destroys rock; water and evil tainted persuasion often win if given enough time.

“Why prove a man he is wrong? You can’t win an argument, because if you lose, you lose it; and if you win, you lose it.

You will feel fine. But what about him? You have made him feel inferior, you hurt his pride, insult his intelligence, his judgement, and his self-respect.”

- Dale Carnegie

And what is more, we may have put a chink in the armor and bubble of someone’s reality, a reality they depend upon to feel good about the world they have created and feel safe within. This is why WE ALL resist change, fight back, insult or challenge family and friends who only mean well. It is so often difficult to save us from a firmly entrenched reality, because our sanity depends on defending that reality, our job and income depends on that created reality, our pride, judgement and everything we know that is comfortable in our world, is based on that false fragile reality.

So, in all seriousness, what if it was all a lie ? The reality we were all taught was a lie, the science, the physics, the medicine, the laws, the politics, the religion, the psychology, what if they were all lies ? To me, and for many, for a long time, something has smelled bad. I believe we are about to find out what stinks and find out that much of everything was a lie. The good thing is, that if so, truth will shine through, and we can start fresh. New beginnings are always good, often hard, but good. The truth never stinks, but it often stings.

Look up, deep into the day and night skies, it is not what it seems, well, it is actually, - it is just not what we were taught.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Even if you stand far down wind, if you stand long enough, you can smell the rot a mile away. You just have to pay attention and think logically.

That is where many have failed. Because,. . . . . . . . . . . . it was all lies.

“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.”
Hamlet (1.4), Marcellus to Horatio

Spoken by Marcellus in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. this is one of the most broadly used quotes in history, and it serves us well now it seems.

Shortly before midnight, Hamlet meets Horatio on the battlements of the castle. They wait together in the darkness. From below they hear the sound of the men in the castle laughing and dancing riotously; the King draining his "draughts of Rhenish down" (10). Hamlet explains to Horatio his dislike of such behaviour. To Hamlet, drinking to excess has ruined the whole nation, which is known abroad as a land full of drunken swine.

Horatio spots the Ghost of Hamlet's father approaching. Hamlet calls out to the Ghost and it beckons Hamlet to leave with it. Despite the pleadings of Horatio and Marcellus, who are afraid that the apparition might be an evil entity in disguise, Hamlet agrees to follow the Ghost and the two figures disappear into the dark.

Marcellus, shaken by the many recent disturbing events and no doubt angered (as is Hamlet) by Claudius's mismanagement of the body politic, astutely notes that Denmark is festering with moral and political corruption. Horatio replies "Heaven will direct it" (91), meaning heaven will guide the state of Denmark to health and stability.

An algorthm for wisdom

Sitting on the porch tonight, staring off into the darkening sky, hoping to catch a glimpse of an alien craft, or two. And I got to thinking of less exciting things. . . . .

This is not an easy game, this game of constructing puzzles and sorting things out (whatever game you play, insert your career path for the word puzzle).
Many want to make this a simpler game, because wrestling with the deep wells of complexities can be daunting.
Some things are just not simple, period. Sure, there is that saying that if you cannot take something complex and explain it in simpler terms, you do not grasp the concepts. And that is true, mostly, often, but not always.
But it still doesn't mean the topic is not complex.

Without enough knowledge, things can only appear to us based on that limited knowledge. If you are color blind, things are just going to take on a different perceived reality than to someone who is not color blind.

Like in this photo here, if you cannot understand that the orientation of a light source can take something bent and make it look straight, then there is no way it can exist in your mind as a possibility.
Playing this game of "figure out the human puzzle" is often about specific knowledge. And without that specific knowledge there is no way we can get the honest answer. But, do not ever dismiss the power of taking that knowledge and blending it with decade of experience, plus a little perspective of course.

Remember, it all starts with the data. Without all of the necessary data we never get there. Without context we do not get there. Data is merely noise without context. Without experimentation and error (private practice) we do not get there. (*This by the way, is where the teachers, lecturers and so called experts might fail if they do, they might not have enough experience. I know this because I have been that young lecturer, even the older lecturer, and far too often I realized I was not the person with enough experience to be at the front of the room spouting off truths that my experience could not defend. It still happens to me even today. It is humbling. How does the saying go? "Don't let your mouth write checks that your ass cannot cash." I've been there, done that.)

And so where is "there"? What is this destination? It is quiet simply, Wisdom.
Most of us will never get there, maybe we get some toes and a foot dipped into the pool of wisdom, maybe even a whole leg in there from time to time, but rarely does anyone gets there. Knowing that fact, we can truly remain students of the journey.
The algorithm cannot be cheated or "short-coursed".
There are no short cuts.

May your clinical "humblings" this week be gentle on your ego, as I hope mine are.
The journey continues its beatings and humbling, but that is why we play the game, in the hopes of reaching the next stage of enlightenment, in the hopes of helping one more person truly in need.
So let the beatings continue.
Have a great week gang.
Shawn

Data = Noise

Data + Context = Information

Experimentation + Error = Experience
