I’m in the zone of “forgiveness not forgetness.” This is far from over. What Joe Rogan calls “the blue MAGA hat” of masks, which can be extended to all of (people who are STILL asking for toxic tests as a contingency of entering their homes); until it’s exposed and expunged, root and branch, there are no bygones here.

But I can travel alongside anyone who isn’t trying to beat me with their crazy totalitarianism, as long as it’s not the topic at hand, and I can see the humanity in everyone, and know that the line between good and evil runs down the center of us all. That’s a warning to me to pay attention to the shadow, but also an illustration to those that chose poorly that there was no “have to” in the “give into evil” matrix.

I’m trying hard to reach out in small ways to my family that mostly ‘tolerated’ me, although my brothers treated me, my dear wife and two awesome teenagers poorly. They are the hardest to reach out to because I will never get an apology and they continue to treat me with cautious contempt for my ‘beliefs’ etc. So many of my lifelong friends abandoned me in my hour if need and silently said and did nothing when my employer, the Federal government here in Canuckistan threatened to lay me off unless I ‘freely complied’ with the Thing. Somehow by the grace of God I survived those stressful 9 months and kept my job but a team leader made sure to derail my career and carefully punished me to punt me from her team. It was humiliating and meant to punish me for my obvious conspiracy theories. I will never forget and if sadly one of these people have a severe negative reaction to the Thing, it will be hard not to feel some awful satisfaction. I hate what this has done to me and my relationships and how things at work are going as I can only dream of retiring 5 years early. I dread seeing them all after 3 years now that we are returning to our workplaces. This has been profound and I’m thankful to God that I didn’t take the Thing, nor my wife and kids, but it has stripped our relationships down to the bone. It’s left a deep mark on us all. The hurt and betrayal cuts so deep. It’s hard to forgive the righteously unrepentant to say the least. It’s going to be a long process. Only the love of the Lord above and what He sacrificed through His Son motivates me to try to slowly repair the breached relationships. Gid help us all through this rolling nightmare that keeps on taking and taking, giving nothing in return. The ‘fruit’ of this tree is pure poison and obvious that it’s creator is pure evil.

A lovely and heartfelt essay, Bretigne. While I agree with the premise in theory, I just cannot bring myself to put it into practice... for certain people. However, for others, such as those who were forced into getting the jab against their will (for employment reasons, etc.), or those who were misled by the media or their doctor and just didn't know any better... my heart goes out to those people. BUT... for those who shamed, ridiculed, bullied, threatened, canceled me and my fellow 'purebloods', the ONLY way they could possibly earn my forgiveness or love is if they admitted they were wrong and apologized for the way they treated us. As for the government and corporate criminals who destroyed lives and livelihoods, the ONLY thing they deserve is punishment commensurate with their crimes. NO forgiveness. NO love. Do not pass Go. Do not collect $200. Straight to Jail with them all!

And for those still feeling suffocated by that heavy blanket of darkness, I found this piece to be quite uplifting. https://pierrekory.substack.com/p/inspirational-message-to-the-unvaccinated

Hi Bretigne

Do you have a link to the post that you referenced?

I have been very fortunate that nobody in my circles expelled me because I was not on board with the narratives. When I wore a mask, I wore masks that mocked the masking demands such as a Jason Voorhees mask with an Olson mask over the nose and mouth, or a monster-themed neck gaiter.

I look forward to shot-compliant folks dying from shot reactions, providing paid estate asset transition service opportunities.

Thank you for being in my on-line life.

Another Substacker I follow also had a great write-up about it. I love how he skillfully injects humor into otherwise serious topics. Enjoy!

I went searching for that post when I wrote this, but couldn't find it. It was sometime earlier this year. If I am able to find it, I'll post it here.

And thank you for being in mine.

This is very well said! It's 5th generation warfare. The battle ground isn't in a field with guns, bombs, or tanks.

This always was a war against our consciousness.

We cannot fight this with more violence, coercion, duress... We must simply draw inward, seek first the kingdom.. and 'all these things' will be added to us.

Let us simply be more conscious!
