Love it. Thanks for the link. I put my full faith and credit in epic guitarists who play the piano. Thank goodness great harmony is possible on both.

The basic issue is that the left continues to spin consiracy theories to miss direct and confuse to keep the revolution of society rolling down hill to hell. The controlled media just keeps gas lighting the masses on the Covid con, global warming and ethnic and societal issues to confuse and divide.

Unfortunately, the SF Zen Center has be “captured”. They are living the lie: DEIA Committee, testing and boosters, etc. They are not living in Truth, but fear. It’s unfortunate.

Great comment thanks. Yes I am aware. I had to leave California over ten years ago and not for the first time. Love the land but it all has fallen to the totalitarian narratives. The darkness has fallen but it can’t diminish the light that once was. Zen center and the rest had evidence of cracks in their foundation back then. This is no accident or coincidence unfortunately.

I understand only TOO well! I’m a native San Franciscan, 3rd generation! I grew up in SF when it was magnificent! I could go on all day about the beautiful memories I have of The City! I understand!

Hope you can write more about this. I am a fifth generation as my grandmother’s ancestors were settled in the redwoods of Mendocino county way back in the day. All that history. They often went by steam ship to San Francisco. My grandmother met my grandfather in SF when she was 18.

Still here, in wacko Marin. I one of many conspiracy theorists in a sea of complacency and compliance. Met Shunryu Suzuki Roshi in the early 1970s, Gary Snyder, Ginsberg, etc. Spirit Rock Meditation Center, a short walk from our home, also drank the Kool-Aid. Beautiful peace KW.

Still hanging on in Marin? I know quite a few who are. Many throughout the state. blessings to all of you who can stay.

Met Gary Snyder & a bunch of musicians over the years. The wild bunch.

What damn Kool-aid? Never knew of Mr. Owsley, lol.

Peace be upon all of us crazy insane California mobsters.

I just had to search Mr. Owsley, had no idea. Wonder if that sunshine someone once put under my tongue at some holy man jam was from his lab. Hmmm.

My mother did as well. She went to Marin all the time in the 1970’s! I was a little girl. I think she was trying to “find herself”, after a strict Catholic upbringing and a horrible marriage to my father. I almost went to Marin Catholic, but instead went to Mercy HS in SF.

The history of SF is AMAZING! That is why my heart breaks for what it has become. My family has died, but I’m thankful that they don’t have to see SF now. I was forced to retire from The City 2 years ago (after 23 years), because of the forced testing/jab, or I’d still be working.

I can honestly say, SF was one of the most beautiful cities in the world at one time, in ALL respects: culture, entertainment, FOOD, livability, huge middle class, opportunity, beauty, history, low crime…you get the point. And, I’ve been to Europe. SF has/had so much European influence, maybe that’s why TPTB want it destroyed. My grandmother and I always dressed up to go Downtown on the cable car (I rode for free or a nickel), and she always wore dress gloves! Don’t get me going-lol!

Great reminders. Things were certainly different. But it is great to know our histories. There was always a tragic kind of vibe hanging over that crack in the Earth known as the Golden Gate. "Calafia"!

That’s sad

Sad but also joyful. Knowing our history - the sad and all is critical. Truly sad is to see those who don’t know their history. But yes bittersweet for certain. We are losing a great deal right now but it sometimes occurs to me there is a lot maybe we are meant to lose?

Often when we loose something, we gain something more valuable. Perhaps it is wisdom that we are gaining.

Wouldn't that be great? You may be 100% correct.

Likewise, my friend.

I find conspiracy theories to be (mostly) hypotheses of worst-case scenarios, and it just so happens the most Machiavellian and evil minds have no issue with the most horrific means to achieve their end.

When the world is full of bad actors, it's no surprise a worst-case scenario takes the show.

Thanks for your essay.

Lovely stuff KWN and perfectly timed, thank you - it seems the Angels are working overtime for me these days as we plan our exit from UK scheduled for mid-November. I have always understood that if my plans move forward easily, then it is my God's will. If I am blocked at every turn, I know He has other ideas and I give way.

For me it works every time - the acid test. I shall be spotlighting 'Conspiracy' on Saturday July 15 and will link your excellent post.

Blessings

The challenge here, is to get the "masses" to recognize the fact that the Government lies 24/7

.

witness the mass compliance with the violation of the 4th amendment at airports.
