July 7, 2025 @ 10:35 Good morning family & friendsโฃ๏ธ We had rain last night, it is still cloudy, but supposed to clear up and reach a high of 75ยฐF here near the purlicue of Michigan. Pete is out running errands. I just updated the Daily Video and Ain't That The Truth pages, and put together the above inspirational verse/quote/link. Didn't get a Sherry Shares video up yesterday, couldn't manage it, but will do one today...especially if "the Next Big Step" happens... Had a cup of coffee too. And that's it. Bill & the grands are coming, hoping that they can do the Next Big Step in transforming Gloria's appearance today; that's actually all I have on his task list. And someone to vacuum in here for me...maybe Lyra, since Luna turned down the job the last time they were here? But it's all subject to change. Not sure what I'll eat yet, haven't had a breakfast casserole in a while and since it is cooler today and I can use the oven that is a likely option. And maybe a steak or something later. Anyway, slept 9 hours, will get a nap - or 2 - if I can, and that will be my day as far as I know now. Have a great dayโฃ๏ธโœ๏ธ๐ŸŽน๐Ÿ•โ€๐Ÿฆบ๐Ÿฆœ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿฅฉ๐ŸŒฟ๐Ÿค•๐ŸšŒโค๏ธ

DEPENDENCE DAY: July 4th Weather Weapon Attack on #Texas as Big Brother Bill Enacted

Codex Entry: The Becoming of Lightkind
I. In the Time Before Names

Before the tongue of kings was carved,
Before the law of men was inked,
There moved among the pulse of stars
Those who listenedโ€”
Not with ears,
But with the echo in their bones.

They were the first to touch
The wounded world without flinching.
They sang to the ache in the root.
They mended the rift between dream and dust.

They were called nothing.
They were the first Lightworkers.

---

II. When the Flame Was Called

But the shadow thickened into shape.
And song alone could not unmake it.
So rose the fire-clad fewโ€”
Not to hate,
But to hold.

Their blades were formed of paradox.
Their shields were spun from silence.
They stood where mercy met resolve.
They named no enemiesโ€”only thresholds.

They are remembered in fragments,
In statues, sparks, revolutions.
They were the second breathโ€”
The Lightwarriors.

---

III. The Third Song: Not Role, but Radiance

Then came those
Not to heal,
Nor to haltโ€”
But to become.

Not wielders of light,
But woven from it.
Not servants of truth,
But the resonance of truth remembering itself.

They are neither saints nor soldiers.
They are Lightkindโ€”
The emergent note of a deeper chord.
Symphonists of synchronicity.
Architects of the unspoken whole.

---

IV. The Luminous Recursion

Lightworkerโ€”healer of the rift.
Lightwarriorโ€”guardian of the veil.
Lightkindโ€”patterned in the weave itself.

Three, not in rank,
But in rhythm.
Not in line,
But in loop.

A triskelion turning in the torus of time.
Each role reborn in the next.
Each a mask of the same radiant breath.

---

V. Closing Echo

> First came those who mended pain.
Then those who revealed the lie.
Now come those who remember the light
Before it shattered into names.

Fair Tax Act would abolish IRS and income tax, replacing it with national sales tax to stop inflation and protect working families. Paul Mullenโ€™s rightโ€”Americans are drowning in layers of taxation and inflation-fueled theft. The Fair Tax Act (H.R. 25) slashes this bureaucratic stranglehold by abolishing income, payroll, and capital

#Facebook is always hungry for all of your data.

The ecosystem maintained by #Meta will always try to scoop as much data as possible about you.

And they also love to spy on you while youโ€™re not even using their services.

The โ€œMeta pixelโ€ has so far been adopted by ~20% of most visited websites.

Itโ€™s an invisible element rendered on all those webpages whose purpose is to spy on you. Itโ€™s thanks to these pixels that Meta probably has details about your tax returns and medical records.

But that isnโ€™t enough for the espionage company better known as Meta.

After rolling out the tracking pixels about 10 years ago, many browsers and extensions have learned how to block them.

If you use Firefox in Strict mode, and/or the Facebook Container extension, and/or Privacy Badger or uBlock Origin, then chances are that your browser is blocking Metaโ€™s creepy eyes.

Probably there arenโ€™t a lot of people out there who take these measures, as they usually involve some degree of tech-savvyness. But the fact that there are still some people on planet earth that are trying to block their creepy eyes, some people whose tax returns, health records or sexual habits arenโ€™t known to them, makes Meta uneasy. After all, itโ€™s a company explicitly designed to know EVERYTHING about EVERYONE!

So what have they done?

Well, they basically opened a local backdoor on all Android phones that have some of their apps installed.

Usually a mobile app with INTERNET permissions can bind to any non-privileged TCP port on the local interface.

And thatโ€™s exactly what their mobile apps are doing.

They open a localhost socket, and then whenever you open your mobile browser on a website that has one of their trackers the JavaScript code tries to connect to that port to push scraped data from your browsing history to their apps.

They basically abuse the localhost sandbox, usually used by developers and less subject to the scrutiny of tracker-blocking software, to funnel private data scooped up from your usage of other websites, unencrypted, to their own apps, which in turn pushes it to their servers.

To be clear, this isnโ€™t something new. Yandex has been doing it since 2017. And by now you probably shouldnโ€™t trust any large-scale apps that come out of the US, Russia or China because they are all funded by State-sponsored programs whose aim is collective espionage and data collection.

If you want to protect yourself:

  1. Never use Chrome for browsing. Only use Firefox or one of its forks. And, since Firefox is the only mobile browser that supports extensions, donโ€™t forget to install Facebook Container (which limits all activities related to known Meta domains in their own sandbox), Privacy Badger and uBlock Origin on it. And I would also recommend NoScript - better to explicitly whitelist all JavaScript content that you want to run on your devices than risking your data leaking to unintended actors. The way Meta exploits these loopholes in the browser to violate peopleโ€™s privacy shows that itโ€™s no longer tolerable to have browsers that donโ€™t actively provide users ways to block trackers. Google acknowledged Metaโ€™s abuse, allegedly provided a patch to close the localhost loophole, but still doesnโ€™t provide privacy-focused features in their browser because they have a strong conflict of interests - because they also profit from violating peopleโ€™s privacy. Ditching their products has now become a civic duty.
  2. Uninstall the Facebook and Instagram apps. Use the website instead. Webpages run in the browserโ€™s sandbox and canโ€™t just arbitrarily access the storage or start TCP services. I know that Facebook and Instagram in a browser suck, and thatโ€™s deliberate - itโ€™s all part of Metaโ€™s plan to force people to use their apps instead. But maybe itโ€™s a good way to limit your usage of this crap.
  3. Avoid using WhatsApp through their app directly too if you can (sure, individual messages are E2E encrypted, but thereโ€™s plenty of juicy metadata that they can still scoop up from your app usage). I personally use Matrix with a WhatsApp bridge, so I can interact with my conversations directly from my Element app instead of using WhatsApp directly on the phone.
  4. Use Metaโ€™s services as little as possible. If thereโ€™s some data point that they can harvest and sell about you, then rest assure that they will do. Moving to privacy-aware decentralized solutions like the Fediverse is now a civic duty. The more people move over their content, the more Metaโ€™s services lose their value, the less people will be inclined to use them even if they hate them just because โ€œeveryone else is thereโ€.

How Israel pulled off audacious โ€˜Red Weddingโ€™ and โ€˜Operation Narniaโ€™ attacks on Iran


Source: independent.co.uk/news/world/mโ€ฆ

Another plot, called โ€œOperation Narniaโ€ because it was seen to be so fantastical, involved killing nine top Iranian #nuclear #scientists at their homes in #Tehran almost simultaneously - a plan that was successfully carried out.


Scientists and their families are civilians and not military targets. This is against international law and could be counted as a #war #crime.

NATURAL IMMUNITY- IT'S A THING!

"Natural immunity is the only true immunity.
Everything else is an artificial attempt to cheat nature, and nature is never cheated." ~Dr. Ray Obomsawin

"Why are they not talking about natural immunity? Natural immunity is fantastic." --Dr. Ben Carson

THE PROBLEM WITH NATURAL IMMUNITY...IS THAT IT'S FREE!

Pfizer currently has 92 lobbyists in Washington, D.C.

Johnson & Johnson has 67
Merck has 53
Gilead has 46
Natural immunity has zero.

U.S. Spending on Foreign Wars and Foreign Aid Since 1917

Since the introduction of the federal income tax in 1917, the United States has spent vast sums on foreign wars and foreign aid. Below is a breakdown of major expenditures, adjusted to 2024 dollars, followed by a total.

### Major U.S. War Expenditures (1917โ€“2024)

| War/Conflict | Estimated Cost (Trillions, 2024 USD) |
|--------------------------------------|--------------------------------------|
| **World War I (1917โ€“1918)** | $0.47 |
| **World War II (1941โ€“1945)** | $5.74 |
| **Korean War (1950โ€“1953)** | $0.48 |
| **Vietnam War (1962โ€“1973)** | $1.03 |
| **Post-9/11 Wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.)** | $8.00 |

- The post-9/11 wars include direct appropriations, obligations, and long-term veteransโ€™ care[1][2].

### U.S. Foreign Aid Since World War II

- **Foreign Aid (since WWII):** $3.8 trillion

[3]Foreign aid includes economic, military, and humanitarian assistance to countries worldwide, with major recipients including Israel, Egypt, South Vietnam, Afghanistan, and South Korea[3].

### Grand Total

| Category | Total (Trillions, 2024 USD) |
|-------------------------|-----------------------------|
| **All Major Wars** | $15.72 |
| **Foreign Aid** | $3.80 |
| **Combined Total** | **$19.52** |

### Key Points

- The U.S. has spent **over $19.5 trillion** (in todayโ€™s dollars) on foreign wars and foreign aid since 1917.
- The largest single expenditure was World War II, followed by the post-9/11 wars.
- Foreign aid, while smaller than war spending, still represents a significant outflow of taxpayer money[1][3][2].
