There are Angels Among us and some Jackasses, too.

I thought "A Jack Ass Standing In the Snow" would be a good title for this story.
This story does not require your belief.

December 2011:
One day this week, I was standing on the street corner letting my ancient dog rest. It was 23 degrees and a little windy. I looked up the empty streets in three directions, I could see at least a quarter mile in every direction and nothing moving, not a person or car in sight. I lit my pipe and a voice behind me said, "Don't let me frighten you, I'm approaching behind you." The statement was odd, I turned to see a very sweet face of an elderly woman dressed for the weather, standing still. It was like she had dropped from nowhere. She started towards me about twenty feet away and her footfalls made no sound. I could clearly hear my dog's pant, the movement of my own feet, but her footfalls made no sound. She said as she approached again. "I really didn't want to frighten you." Again, strange statement since nothing about her was frightening, except the fact that a split second before she had not been there and seemed to have materialized out of thin air. I immediately questioned in my mind if I was as observant as I thought. "That was a casual glance" I mentally said as I answered, "You're okay."
She said as she passed by me, "Just keep doing what you are doing." It had the impact on me of an officer saying, 'as you were."
I said, "I can't call it walking with this old dog, he is sixteen and he takes me for mopes."
She hesitated, turned and said, "That's not what I'm saying, keep doing what you are doing. You've been fasting for a long time and have many days before the feast."
Her saying "fasting" brought to mind this sentence, "Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?" so I knew the Holy Spirit had just spoken answering my specific prayer, answering a question that had lingered for a few weeks. Even though she seemed to come from nowhere, I wasn't sure if she were a neighbor or an angel or maybe a Saint. But when she turned and walked "through" my neighbor's six-foot wooden fence, like it wasn't there, I knew she wasn't an ordinary stranger. And there I stood, just another dumbfounded Jack Ass Standing in the Snow.

0024 Volumes 36 - 40 How Blinding is Your Worldview

0024 Vol XXXVI = 36 What is the state of the noose being tightened around our economy and our population?  While the Government is spending Trillions of Dollars that can never be repaid, American Infrastructure rots, the supply chain comes under every increasing challenge and no responsible adults seem to be present.       The Fullen Dock and Warehouse just south of the broken bridge is the only "barge to truck" port for a very long distance on the Mississippi River.  I heard indirectly from a truck driver who drives the I55 corridor and loads and unloads at the Fullen Dock regularly; He said it was a madhouse with many hours delay. The facility is overwhelmed with stranded barges trying to offload containers to be moved by truck. He said that getting out of the area also takes extra hours due to multiple bottlenecks. The old bridge, sitting just downriver from the I40 broken bridge, has been undergoing major repairs and is closed to all but one traffic lane. Th...

Libya under Kaddafi

africanexponent.com Ten Reasons Libya Under Gaddafi Was a Great Place to Live Tatenda Gwaambuka 5–6 minutes Libya under Gaddafi was not entirely hellish as the world has been made to believe. The citizens did not have the luxury of voting but Gaddafi made sure they had a high standard of living to compensate for curtailed freedoms. Was this enough? That is a moot point but the fact remains: Libya was a great place to stay under Gaddafi (provided one did not try to usurp power). Education and medical treatment were free Under Gaddafi, education and health care were free for all. A response to this claim by Masareef Edareeya , a Libyan citizen claimed the quality of education and health was appalling but that does nothing to the fact that it was free. No system is perfect but most are imperfect and still expensive. Gaddafi made sure his system was subsidised and even Mercy Corps attested...

Total Vindication of the Bond Robin Channel, even my guestaments were true.

 (Bond Robin Note: This Tucker Carlson interview with Mike Benz, who was Deputy Assistant Secretary for International Communications and Information Policy  Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs in the U.S. State Department during the Trump years is the total vindication of everything Butch Robinson, aka Archpriest Symeon Elias, aka Bond Robin, has said on the subject of the total subservience of Europe to the collective power of the U.S. (through that Atlantic Council - a CIA cutout where all living ex-CIA head hold court and rule) the reality of the massive censorship of anyone not affirming the Atlantists agenda and whatever psyop the Global Deep State is pushing on any given day. Of course, Mike Benz's rapid-fire encyclopedic recitation anatomizing the "mechanism" of control never approaches the power that controls the mechanism, and that is a staggering thought, that there is upon the earth a mechanism to coordinate the collective, group, individual, and unified ac...
