What? "... fight fantasy battles against evil to make themselves feel purposeful and heroic"?

I don't see it that way either Mark and neither did Tolkien who could see it all coming - I sense an almost literal and spreading dark cloud of evil.

Keep up the good work Mark.

People are choosing sides. Many are turning to Christ, many are turning away. It's getting a lot harder to just sit on the fence nowadays. The Lord and His Holy Spirit are calling, and evil is shoving itself at us. Anyone pretending otherwise has probably already made their choice. But He still calls us to repentance. His voice is going forth. More will come. Amen!

More scales falling, fast and furious, from my eyes Mark! Tx again for your insistent, urgent and important inquiries into what we have become: a sprawling, devious, delirious and unaccountable Leviathan. When you read Lincoln’s Gettysburgh, and the lines where the word “consecrate” or “dedicate” appear, almost like a mantra, as he speaks of the impossibility of consecrating the land already covered by the blood of the fallen, you just gasp! at the magnitude of the loss, the wanton destruction of our founding and humane ideals and scruples. The criminality, the venality…

I think Rahm Emmanuel's "never let a crisis go to waste" was created by the Neocon's long before Rahm came to fruition.

Funny story, Rahm's father was a Pediatrician in a group of 5 doctors where my kids used to go for years. Over on Peterson Ave. and Cicero on the far north side of Chicago. His father wasn't our kids primary. In fact, not many families had his father as their primary.

Do people look back on Rahm's mayoralty as those happy, golden years?

Now they do compared with Lori Lifhtfoot and Brandon Johnson.

Rahm would be considered a modern.

I’ll let Mark weigh in too.

It’s interesting that the Globalists seem to want to dissolve multi ethnic states into mono ethnic states and then flood them with immigrants.

It seems that in their global hegemony plans the multi ethnic state is seen as an obstacle. Doesn’t bode well for the US.

Spring of 1992 is when the elder Bush was still the President.

Good point. So if that time line of the Ambassador telling the Muslims to reject the plan in March of '92 is accurate, then the elder Bush started the problem, and Clinton ran with it when he had the reins.

And ten years later Bush fils was telling me that Islam is a religion of Peace.

My guess is Saudi / Gulf funding of Clinton was a factor.

Clinton’s were very transactional.

ProtonVPN, Swiss based, has browser extensions for their VPN (they have email, calendar, storage, etc. as part of the package service) that can be installed in Chromium and/or Firefox based browsers. Rather convenient. If the VPN gets inconvenient--it can make you jump through many hoops to sign in to certain sites (like my own substack), or cause sites like Amazon to send you to the wrong country (Americans can wind up at Canada or UK)--you can always turn the extension off and then back on, without exiting the browser--just refresh the page. Very easy as an extension. The "private windows" that are advertised by some browsers aren't the same as a VPN.

That's the advantage, also, of running multiple browsers for various tasks, especially if each browser uses a different engine (Chromium, Gecko, Webkit)--separate VPNs or no VPN. For example, I have three browsers open--one without VPN, two others, each using separate VPN servers that I can turn on or off.

In addition to Google Chrome there are many other browsers that use Chromium--Brave, Edge, Opera, Iridium, Chromium itself, Midori, and etc. All can use the extension. Same goes for less common Firefox derived browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, Pale Moon, etc. That's why I run my Linux desktop with separate browsers open on multiple workspaces. Helps keep things straight.

Woww, tx for your input! I have a feeling it’s time for an upgrade!

There are actually a lot of advantages to using a VPN. Run this search: advantages of using vpn, or https://protonvpn.com/blog/why-use-vpn/, or both.
