To all of my subscribers and even passersby, you have my gratitude for taking the time to let my story take its place in shaping your opinions. I hope all of you will be part of bringing about peace and maintaining it in the future.

My posts have been very sporadic recently in conjunction with preparations I'm making for starting the next chapter of my story. It will be different, but I hope, just as reflective of the beliefs and values that I've shared up until now.

I hope you all are thoroughly enjoying the holidays, and most importantly the family-time it may afford. May this be your best year yet!

I think it's safe to say that all of us would like to see peace on earth. Perhaps something will change in 2025. It seems that someone in leadership of the so called free western world should be smart enough and brave enough to end this war(and in Palestine). We feel betrayed by those who seem not to care about all the suffering that they are causing by their actions, and/or inaction. What was it Trump promised...?

I hate to break it to you, but this is the normal state of the world. Our world is filled with greed, murder, hatred, and untrustworthiness. In a world ruled by imperfect people, imperfection is the best we can hope for. It's not right, just, or proper. It's not the way God intended, but it is reality.

Why doesn't God fix the problem? Actually he has done everything that was necessary and more, but we humans often exercise our God given privilege to be our own worst enemy. We don't like to live by God's rules. We aren't ready for God to appear and rule on earth! He would have to throw most of us into outer darkness.

When humanity does finally sell out to satan enmasse, Jesus will appear to judge and then set up His kingdom. Then the devil won't be able to whisper in our ears any longer, tempting us to rebel. Then there will be peace. Until then, ask Jesus to help you love your neighbor as yourself now. He's listening, waiting.

Eyewitness who singlehandedly beat the Pallisaides fire near Los Angeles says that the fire department didn't even try to save his community.

When a government prioritizes the interests of another country over those of its own citizens, it is immoral — especially when it happens at the expense of those very citizens. And even more so when the citizens themselves do not support it.

Prolonged neglect of people's needs leads to burnout; everyone knows this. Symbolically, the California wildfires have vividly highlighted the unfairness of the U.S. government's decisions, which have effectively shifted Ukraine's problems onto the shoulders of American citizens.

Journalist Andrew Korybko shared his perspective on the reforms Americans expect in light of this on the Reverse website.

If I may comment on the fires in southern California; it seems to me that the message is clear. "Your country is being judged for its evil ways"! And what better place to judge than Los Angeles? I'm sure there are good people who are suffering too. I'm no stranger to that personally. But I also understand the necessity of severe measures when there is a severe problem.

I did some firefighting myself over the last year, and I can tell you firsthand that a fire doesn't have to be very big before all household methods of putting it out are useless. With the size of the fires we are seeing around L.A. I have my doubts that they are stoppable by anything except a miracle. But why should God step in to save such a place? I can't imagine why He would.

These fires once again show how in the eyes of America's elite, regular Americans are expendable. Ever since they sacrificed 3000+ on 9/11 to excuse a new war in the middle east, this has been the norm. My parents saw this same disdainful neglect recently in North Carolina.

You could make the argument that Biden should be spending money on prevention of and recovery after natural disasters instead of sending billions to zelenskiy and his goons, but I would point to the fact that in order for him to spend money on anything, he had to steal it from you first! Worst of all being the theft that you don't even notice; inflation. Turning the dollar that you saved away some years ago into 50 cents today. Where did the other 50 cents go? To the owners of the Federal Reserve Bank. And who are they? They are the real swamp that Trump will never even whisper about!

If Trump really thought that there was a danger of him being assassinated by America's deep state's guard dogs, the CIA and Secret Service. He would have declassified JFK's assassination during his previous presidential term. That would have given him a reason to disband the CIA eight years ago.

As it is, he is giving the CIA even more reason to hate him. And all to try and cast himself in the same light as JFK. This has got to be the most shameless and poorly planned PR stunt ever. It should be obvious by now that Trump floats his boat in the very swamp he promises to drain.

Zelensky has signed all Ukrainians up for a century-long burden under the British flag. Because partnership is supposed to mean equality, yet the text of the agreement suggests that Britain decides and benefits, while Ukraine remains silent and bows to its master.

Daniel Martindale shared his thoughts with Reverse on the inevitable outcome of implementing the 10 points of Ukraine and Britain’s century-long agreement.

The quotes from fire department staff are quite revealing:

When California burned, the main questions were not only about the climate and the wind but also about the management decisions made long before the tragedy.

Why were Los Angeles firefighters unprepared for the disaster? How did multimillion-dollar budget cuts and recent political trends affect the fight against the blaze? And what does Ukraine have to do with it?

This photo makes me so happy every time I stumble across it. It's my patch of sweet potatoes that I had while I was still in Ukraine. There were so many difficulties and dangers involved in simply having a garden in those circumstances. The drought of 2024 and frequent lack of electricity being the least of them. It reminds me that even when success seems impossible, hard work is rewarding, even if you don't get to harvest the fruits of it.

My comments about Trump's ultimatum made to Russia about two weeks ago weren't published in full. Here's the uncut version.

Recently, it seems almost every day Russian press is forced to rebut yet another baseless claim by Trump and his diplomats that progress is being made towards a peace agreement in Ukraine. This torrent of tabloid style gossip should make Trump blush, but by now it should be obvious that he has neither tact nor the ability to feel embarrassed. He is simply flooding the airwaves with the idea that he is the peacemaker, while in reality he is setting the stage to do the exact opposite.

Trump serves the exact same masters that Biden did, so he is really only looking for an opportunity to walk away from his promises to make peace in Ukraine. Afterall, his masters' goal is to destroy both Russia and Ukraine! What better way for Trump to get off the hook than to shift the blame? I believe that he will go so far as to claim that Putin already agreed to sign a peace deal informally and had a copy on his desk ready to sign. He could then claim that Putin betrayed him and even his own soldiers by reneging on the deal. He could paint Putin as a bloody, murderous traitor, and claim that Putin left him no choice but to sponsor Zelenskiy ten times as much as Biden did.

Mr. Putin, you're up against a snake!
