Positive influence, my story in return…

I have reached out in gratitude and gotten a response back from someone I looked up to during my struggles in my early 20s-30s, after my father had disappeared intentionally. In this letter back to their response “Good to Hear from You Jason” and their wish to read more as I offered, I wrote about my story after their influence seeded in me and continues to take shape and form.

Think Sideways in the Future of Fax Not Replaced by Secure eMail

The Next Phase After Fax: A Return to Meaningful Simplicity The fax machine, once a marvel of modern communication, now feels like a relic—a dusty artifact of a time when sending a message across distances was a tangible, deliberate act. In today’s hyper-digital world, we’ve long since abandoned the whirring hum of fax for instant emails, cloud-shared files, and video calls that stream at blinding speeds. But where does this relentless march of “progress” leave us? What comes after fax—and more importantly, why should it matter? The answer might not be what you expect. It’s not about more bandwidth, higher resolutions, or AI-driven interfaces. The next phase could very well be a step sideways, toward something like Meshtastic—a decentralized, point-to-point messaging system that echoes fax’s simplicity while shedding…

The Dangers of Joining the CIA: A Legacy of Misplaced Power & Selfish Ambition

The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has a long and complex history, dating back to the post-World War II era. Established in 1947, the CIA was created in response to the emerging threats of the Cold War, including the arms and space races. However, from its inception, the agency has been plagued by a culture of misplaced power and selfish ambition, which has led to a legacy of danger and deception. One of the earliest and most influential operations in the CIA’s history was Operation Paperclip, a secret program that recruited former Nazi scientists and engineers to work for the United States government. This operation set a precedent for the CIA’s willingness to compromise its values and morals in pursuit of power and knowledge. By recruiting individuals with questionable…

Not mRNA Chicken?! Why the Bird Flu…

  Dr. Eric Berg’s part in this discussion with Clayton Baker M.D., has shed light on a concerning plan to vaccinate all chickens and livestock with mRNA technology, which could potentially contaminate the global food supply chains. This plan is allegedly linked to the introduction of a new virus that threatens livestock and can leap to humans during the contamination stage, utilizing miRNA inference for gain of function research. The Biden administration has granted a significant amount of money to Moderna to develop a vaccine for this virus, raising questions about the motivations behind this move. The timing of the virus’s emergence and the subsequent development of a vaccine by Moderna has sparked concerns about a potential global conspiracy to reduce the human population on Earth.

The Preemptive Truth on Health Perceptions: mRNA ‘Vax’

The narrative surrounding the safety of COVID-19 vaccines has become so entrenched that the mainstream public may outright reject any suggestion of potential harms. Regardless of how compelling or well-reasoned the arguments against the prevailing “trust the science” mantra might be, the lack of control-group studies on vaccine and booster safety has created widespread uncertainty. This ambiguity offers just enough plausible deniability for people to cling to a false sense of confidence, disillusioned about the vaccines’ true efficacy and safety. At the same time, there has been a noticeable increase in cancers and deadly blood clots, yet no clear explanation or accountability ties these conditions to the vaccines. The Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) has logged an unprecedented number of reports, but these are frequently dismissed with…
