Yes, as you described the enslaving of mankind by the cabal so accurately; you’ve revealed some of the most typical methods used to obscure the release of truth, but I love your conclusion-we will be free once again! God bless you.🙏

"Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last." -- Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Dr. King was speaking that day about the unkept promises to the American Black community. What we are now seeing is the magnitude of the unkept promises to all Americans and indeed the citizens of most of the world's lands -- visited upon us by forces almost too evil to contemplate. Black, white, whatever -- we are all in shackles to the Cabal. By keeping us divided against ourselves, [they] keep us from realizing our true, shared enemy.

But the Truth will win. [They] can no longer control the flow of information, despite their attempts at obfuscation and disinformation. With every passing day, we are seeing ever more clearly what [they] have done. It is only a matter of time now. Keep the faith, and stick to the narrow door.

"Systems have been put in place to intentionally make us desire ease because they’ve made our lives so exhausting and stressful."

Yes, yes, yes. Absolutely. Pressures from without and within. Both parents needing to work so as to own a home and a little plot of land. Children at daycare, in school, parents exhausted and overwhelmed from work, parenting, keeping house, financial woes, keeping up with the Joneses ... it is a constant struggle on this inflicted rodent wheel.

And now there is a pot shop on every corner and a porn site on every phone. Why get married and work, when you can sit around and get high - legally. What a terrible disservice to our youth.

May God have mercy on us. May he correct those leaders for the good of their souls.

Too funny, everything you said was cut from my article due to redundancy and time. I agree, the family structure was altered to exhaust us and create stress and confusion.

Much food for thought, Erik. Thank you. It helps untangle some of the cognitive dissonance - but surely not all. Much more to be examined and mulled over.

Insightful article about the tightrope we must walk to get to our destination. It’s not easy navigating intellectually or emotionally. I especially appreciate you calling out the common practice of “poisoning the well” so we can have better discernment moving forward. Sharing this gem. Thank you!

Fantastic insight and perfect description of what is perpetrated on citizens to divide and conquer. We simply must not fall for it.

The stress is not only mental, but also financial. Since the introduction of fiat banking and reserve lending, and the ever-increasing debts of nations which must be satisfied by an income tax taking an ever-greater share of their citizens' productive work (as slavery), the costs of things have multiplied tremendously and the resources available to pay for them have been slashed.

Breaking free of this paradigm is an essential part of regaining our freedom. We are not simply shackled only by mental stress (though it certainly plays a part), but also by the actual bonds by which we are held subservient to the State as surely as if we were in leg irons.

Ending this will require the collapse of the banking system followed by the repudiation of all sovereign debt, prohibition of government borrowing, elimination of income taxes, and a return to limited government as designed by the American Founders in the Constitution. Only then will the "huddled masses yearning to breathe free" be able to lift their lamps beside the golden door of freedom.

Exactly, debt slavery causes mental slavery and vice versa.

Well Said Erik, one thing i have done over the years is to seek what they are not saying.

Very interesting and insightful article!

Firstly, whether Damar Hamlin is alive or dead, what is being presented to the public, imho, is either a fraud or a hoax. This is despicable.

Secondly, false flags (aka "mass shootings") serve a political agenda. They provide a distraction from something, and a narrative reset to usually gun control. From what I've seen and delved into, I believe FFs fall into 2 categories: 1.) mass casualty events, and 2) hoaxes. Sometimes they can overlap, but the objective is still the same. As for the instigator of these FFs, that is a discussion for another day.

Thank you for your posts!

I have a new perspective. Will re-read this article again and again. I will share it with my friends, family and those who just may be interested.

Talented writer. From the article, "It’s understandable why so many choose the easy path—the one prepared for us, as the right path is narrow, rocky, steep, and overrun by obstacles."

Keep choosing the narrow, rocky, and steep path! God Bless America and God Bless you!

Often the road less traveled, where a mind ruled by so called reason dare not tread. This is where the truth may be found. Please do not surrender. Do not consent. We decide every moment, does our actions support liberty or tyranny?

A wonderfully detailed a precise understanding of the state of affairs. We stand at a crossroads now. Never has it been so evident that we are living in the worst country in the world. Our blessed country whose citizen’s blood and sweat was given to the concept of freedoms and liberty and the pursuit of happiness, the lofty dream of every human being on earth has been highjacked and used to fight wars we never intended to win and destroy our own population together with the populations of other countries under the guise of helping win freedom from oppression. What a complete farce. We were really causing the destruction of millions for the sake of secret agendas to take over the world and rule us in every way possible.

True evil in its perfection.

BUT FINALLY we are reaching the precipice of destroying their lives their, evil plans, their fake destructive existence will be OVER. We will be set free to live the lives we have never experienced; in truth, honesty, love and freedom. It will be a GOLDEN ERA never known before. It’s just a matter of time.

I love this comment - thank you. To add to it, never before have there been as many people in our country and around the world who know the truth. This is historical in so many ways. This is the first chance in a century of deceit and political poison that enough people have doubted the state-sponsored lies, researched independently for the truth, worked through the debilitating years-long cognitive dissonance, and now are awake and aware of all that has been going on in the world. We know the truth! It's terrifying, but it is also the first time "the people" have a real shot at exposing and conquering these monsters. They are enormously powerful - so much so that it is daunting to think about, but we have more power in the numbers of us who are awake, and are awakening, and that continues to increase daily. We can never surrender to lies again. We can only live in truth and help others find their paths to the truth too.
