I know - too many stories just like this one. You have seen that video of Bill Gates speaking at a TEDS conference in 2010, haven't you, Angela? He clearly says, "With our vaccines and healthcare system we can achieve "net zero carbon emissions" by 2030". This guy is truly a SOCIOPATH and his BILLIONS have been spent to implement his "pet project" of EUGENICS (his father ran Planned Parenthood under that doctrine for many years). I saw the video about 2 years ago with my own eyes!! I don't know if it's still "up" on YouTube or not--my friend, Lenna (my true LIGHTHOUSE of information on the PLANdemic) shared it with me.
Thanks, Het - I signed up for the Mona Lisa Twins newsletter and got 4 free downloads of their songs--I'll play them sporadically--some of their stuff is a bit "pop'ish" for my taste--but they are always EXCELLENTE!!
Cool! Don’t know what you received or have checked out, so one more. A cover. Something about their treatment of this heartfelt piece. Reverence? A grasp of McClean’s reverence? Or grasp of his grasp of tragedy? I must be an old sop ‘cause it raises a tear every time.😭
Did you know that the woman Vincent supposedly lost his mind over (he was already suffering from paroxysms of mental illness, we can’t know for sure what) was a prostitute? His aim was to save her. Set up house. She apparently had a more grounded view of reality. He was penniless, supported for most of his adult life by his brother, Theo. Tragedy, family and just plain human.
And yet, the art. Clouds, shadows, of mind, in life, and still bursts of brilliance marked by the same edges or depths of... psychosis? Then again, sometimes I wonder if some forms of mental illness are as “straightforward” as the piercing of the veil; they see beyond 5 sensory illusion, the real truth, to which the sane are insulated and blind. What do I know? (Not much! Practically nothing in fact!!)
Except perhaps that psychopathy when you have more money than you can spend is a very dangerous thing.
Yes..I did know that about Vincent van Gogh - did you ever read the book "Lust For Life"? I read that as a teenager (many moons ago--LOL!) and it was made into a movie starring Kirk Douglas as Vincent (an uncanny likeness between the two men). As for mental illness--my dear Mom suffered with for most of her adult life - I have my own "analysis" of why she developed what they now call "bipolar syndrome"--the diagnosis back in the early 1960's was "manic/depression". I always say the "real crazies" are on the outside--and I espouse to what you termed "piercing the veil" as to why some humans behave "quite outside the box" but yet they are able to function "somewhat" in the "sane" world. A bit of "craziness" can be quite exhilarating (as long as you aren't harming yourself or anyone elsel) LOL!! The powerful potentates throughout human history have always exerted their "wealth and power" upon ordinary people as you and me are. But we who have given our "will and souls" to our Creator God have the SUPREME KNOWLEDGE and SURETY that "this world" is not our HOME--we're "just a passin' through" as the old spiritual tune goes!!
Nope, never read Lust For Life. If there’s still a copy around meant for me at some point, I guess it’ll arrive at the appointed time. !
Wow, you do know, as a first hand witness, something about mental illness. Yes, “manic-depression” fell by the wayside in maybe the 80s. I had a friend who suffered with m-d - before and after the terminology changed. I can’t possibly understand it. I do wonder about that departure from 5 sense illusion (even Einstein called it illusion). I’m 100% sure there’s more here than meets eye-ear-nose-touch-taste “reality”. Take dreams for instance. They are things. Just not 5 sense things. Consciousness is the final frontier. Gene Roddenberry missed the mark. Did you know that “kirk” is a Gaelic form of “church”? I have veered off on a tangent. My brand of crazy.
Yep, it’s a short trip this earthwalk, whether a soul comes and goes as an infant or as an elder. HOME. I’m not rushing, would be interesting to see in 5-sense how this rather climactic chapter plays out, but, any time is ok with me. Shedding the body for good (love love love spending expanded me in dreams and meditation :) will be miraculous!
You do know, Het, that our Creator God "spoke" to so many people on earth through DREAMS - and as I age, my "dreams" are becoming more and more vivid AND prophetic. It's rather exciting--as sometimes I even HEAR in my dreams....that was not the case when I was in 'younger years'. I have never seriously "meditated" but the "out of body" experience while in the "conscious mental state" must be SUPREME ECSTASY. I guess that's why so many "addictive" types go to DRUGGING for that experience. I have always been averse to that route of "messing with my brain".
It's a shame (maddening, really) YT is either shadow banning them or removing their likes to keep them from going viral. 312K views but only 10K likes.
Good for them - I see they included judges and "church hierarchy" in the despicable despot genre!! Beautiful young peoplel!!! Hope their messages continue to be so filled with TRUTH.

Read Margaret Anna Alice’ substack - she coined the term describing Gates et al perfectly, “philanthropath “
Love that!
A tiny break with two talented millennials that “get it”.

That’s their dad at the piano. And English is their second language - Austrian born & bred, now in Liverpool making a go of their artistry.
I love “I Bought Myself A Politician” and included that video in my letter to Ron DeSantis (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-governor-ron-desantis)!
I surely hope Gov. DeSantis chooses the HIGH road and NOT the one most politicos travel.
Is that their Mum on the violin?
Not mum. Her name (and the cellists’) is in the vid description with gratitude expressed.

Het--if you haven't read this interview with Don McLean about the genesis of "Vincent"--I believe you'll be "tearing" as you finish reading it! TEAR ON, Het! https://donmclean.com/story-behind-the-song-don-mcleans-vincent/
Thanks for this.

I find "tearing" to be a WONDROUS RELEASE - so I'm right there with you, Het!
💯% agreed!
Plenty of it, too, in the past few years watching monstrosities unleashed.
More determined than ever I will not comply. Even if it means I make my final exit. So be it.
I'll be right behind you, Het - screaming...TAKE ME HOME, LORD JESUS!

Sweater wearing Serial Killer Bill.
So true - he's cop'ing the "Mr. Rogers" look--how much more contrived and despicable can he get!!
