Didn't we have a vaccine a few years ago?

I received an email this morning and checked on some Facebook issues that had to do with the COVID-19 issue. I can now see what is going on and who those who put out the news are trying to destabilize our government. We are not in control and neither are the Republicans or the Democrats.

This is yet another issue with the secret government destabilizing our system of government and put who they want to be in power and it isn't us and it has nothing to do with our elected officials.

I spent some time listening to the X-Files and putting all this together. We, the American people, should get a handle on this and take our country back from those who would wrest our control from us and put their own people in power. I had hoped to run for political office and put my own stamp on our democratic system, but that has gone by the wayside and the secret government is putting its own stamp on our democratic system of government. We are not in control.

Ever since China let the world know that Wu-Han had been invaded by the Coronavirus pandemic and it slipped thru their fingers, we have been at the mercy of the negative elements of our government. I'm not going to stand for it and neither should you.

The world will not go down without a fight. We will fight back against the negative elements in our government and take our country back.

We are not being decimated as we sit on lockdown in our homes by the CoronaVirus and we will no longer be held hostage. No, we will not suffer this assault on our government and our lives much longer. Our banks are closed and we cannot trust in the news that everything is under control -- not any longer.

Our economy, which was booming due to President Trump's policies, is now in the tank and we will have to reset our economy as the world battles this "pandemic" and the Democrats battle for their pre-eminence in the Congress. It is all about Trump and the people who followed Hillary down the wide path into Hell. I wish I had a sewing machine and had to deal with making face masks to cover my nose and mouth. I would not do it, but I have done nothing for the past two years and have had to deal with that.

I am not one of those who follow the news and blindly follow along as our Trump presidency goes down in flames. He is not my first choice for president of the USA but he is the one we have and that is up to the electorate that was swayed by the Clintons asking for him to step in. They thought -- or rather Hillary thought -- he would be easy to beat, but she was wrong. Obama thought his legacy would stand and Trump would fade into the pages of history, but that didn't happen either.

Now we have this pandemic and the fears surrounding that issue and people, the Democrats who have welcomed this pendemic into our country and onto our shores, are panicking. Some are getting through to Trump who has acted presidentially and loaded his Republicans with the message that we are doomed -- WE ARE NOT DOOMED. We still have another round of votes to get through and Trump may or may not be re-elected. I look over the Democrats and do not see anyone I like well enough to cast my vote for. I need more time to look over the field; I am not a Republican, nor am I a Democrat, but I keep hoping that the usual slate of people running for office will not live down to the task. I almost wish Hillary would run again, but that is not in the cards -- nor should it be. I keep hoping for another person, much like Elizabeth Warren as she first looked to me when she was a Republican but then switched over to the Democrats as the slate was drawn up. No go; Warren signed on with Bernie, who has also dropped out of the race, along with the remains of the field, and we are left with Donald J. Trump for a second run or whatever else the Democrats can dig out of their failed attempt to impeach Trump. We may be up for Trump for a second term -- if we weather the "pandemic" without a huge loss in that regard.

I keep hoping for someone, preferably a woman with guts now that we have that behind us and he is in jail for the foreseeable future (preferably a long time). It's rather like the "pandemic" (a tempest in a teaspoon). Now that we are down to business I have better hopes for the future: the pandemic is lifted and proves to be a fake, Trump is re-elected, Hillary has died of the COVID-19, and our government has found the cojones and the intelligence to put up a real candidate, one that doesn't beat the Bernie drum and succumb to the Democrats' agenda ... I keep hoping for a strong woman with the wherewithal to put this country on a first name basis with intelligence and politics and pulls us up out of the muck and acts presidential. Even Obama surfaced long enough to side with Trump, putting his agenda behind him and pulls together for the sake of this country.

Whatever happens, and I hope Elizabeth Warren had put her animosities and her common sense into their respective boxes and done the right thing for this country and its people, I pray for the best.

That is all. Disperse.

We do not know as much as we think

I have been looking at pictures of endangered species and wondering if there are ways that we, the people, are rushing to judgment and thinking that we have been stupid and missed looking for the animals and missing or looking in the wrong places to find the animals and not that they are extinct. I keep thinking that the animals are there but we aren't seeing them or have misidentified them as something else. I keep hearing animals are still existing but not where we are looking. Maybe I am naive; that is actually true -- me being naive -- but I have been naive and I continue to be naive. I do not have knowledge of everywhere and I do not see everything and am at the mercy of reports from places I have never seen and will never see.

I am naive. For all the places I have been to and lived, I have not seen it all or done it all. I am naive and I have little knowledge of the world, far less than I claim or that I have actually seen. I was born with a desire to do more, see more, be more than I planned when I was a child and that has not come about; I am sixty-five and it may be too late for me -- but I hope I still have time; I actually plan to live to be 150 and I'm little more than halfway there.

I am amazed by the diversity of the animals that are out here in the world and I am amazed by the way that animals continue to surprise and amaze me for they are as adaptable as we, the humans, are. Animals can live with us and do not turn into the horror stories we imagine.

The animals have not turned against us as horror stories imagine -- and we imagine for ourselves. Fear is our first and foremost feeling we feel and are horror-stricken by the fears we imagine. It is no wonder that we read and seek out when we turn to read and imagine what is ahead of us. Good thing there continues to be a readymade market for aspiring authors, botanists, paleo-whatever that wait for such things and provide places for them ready to provide readers for their wares.

I should know. I am a writer. I consider continuing to write for the chance to take my place among them.

In that I am naive; I hope for the chance to write a book and have people enjoy what I write, asking for more -- to which I will readily apply.

I am also willing to allow myself to fail, but I do not think I will fail because I will continue writing and sending my work out to be judged and hopefully accepted. I am not THAT delusional.

The more pictures I see and the more reports I read about scientists finding they were wrong about the animals being extinct. Scientists are always finding that the animals they think are extinct and actually misidentified. I am hopeful and wish for the best; the same belief that I count on when greeting the news that the earth is getting hotter and the seasons, especially the winters, shorter.

I have grown up and experienced more than my share of outcomes and have seen supposedly extinct animals come back -- like the buffalo. Buffalo -- or bison -- roam the prairies as they once did, but are limited by the actual fact that these buffalo are from a far smaller gene pool than once swelled the herds when the herds were made smaller by the fact that westerners and Indians drove thousands of them off cliffs in order to keep the remaining buffalo from finding out the tricks that hunters used to take them down.

It is rather like the remaining buffalo were not that smart -- or so they say. Animals are smarter than we give them credit for and far smarter than we as humans believe now that we examine and understand how smart they are. There is so much more to this fact than we are ready -- or actually understand -- to believe.

That is all. Disperse.

Keep this planet alive and well

I am sequestered like everyone else in the country. I have changed my ways too. I wash my hands every time to keep my bodily fluids from getting all over others and I keep my trash cleared away as well. I also keep washing my utensils, like the plastic containers and the plastic cups and such, cleaned as well. I am keeping myself clean (I usually do) and cleaning my apartment and my things, such as doing laundry, up to date. I must now keep myself clean and organized -- as everyone else does -- and I used essential oils, a practice I got into many years ago and one that I keep up to date.

I use Aura Cacia and other reputable essential oil retailers because I must keep myself clean and healthy. I will maintain my health as long as I can, keeping myself to myself as long as possible in order to keep from getting the coronavirus that has so many people changing their ways and keeping close to home. Good thing I do not have to get to work or wear a mask or search out the nearest portable lung for myself since I have not come down with the virus.

I think I was planning on getting (or at least keeping myself from getting a pandemic) like coronavirus or something similar for years. It's a good thing I changed my ways years ago and have kept myself from getting more than the flu or some other infection for years. Good thing I keep myself away from illness and have kept up the practices so that I am not going to end up sick or ill from some other preventable disease.

I'm not touting my personal health practices, like using nontoxic cleaners or toxic cleaning supplies,
but you might want to consider changes to your toxic cleaning supplies by checking things out at Grove Collaborative or something similar, something more earth-friendly and/or health conscience and sticking with it long after we have put the pandemic behind us -- or at least not hiding your symptoms and illness from others -- or misdiagnosing your illness and telling those around you that you are not at risk of infecting yourself and others and then infecting them. Keep the planet, this Earth, uppermost in mind and the inhabitants (like the wildlife) in your thoughts and in your heart. We do not want to be the next great extinction on the list, like the dinosaurs, and the many animals we have abused and continue to abuse during our lifetimes. We do not want to continue to abuse this planet or its inhabitants and tick them off the list as we will ourselves end up being -- extinct.

I'm not going to be ticked off the list nor will I be extinct this time around.

That is all. Disperse.
