UBI, universal basic income--it is all the rage these day. Many seem to think it is the answer to the world's problem (except they still haven't figured out the math to that problem.)

But we don't need to know the math when we can look at Richard Montanez story and how Flaming Hot Cheetos came into being.

Merry Christmas . . . I've heard the argument that Christians are wrong to celebrate Christmas... and I can understand that view point given it's DARK pagan history (i.e. lawlessness, rape, human sacrifice) (Here is one of hundreds of links you can find on the origins of Christmas and Saturnalia. https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-rome/saturnalia

BUT Christians are observing a "religious holy day" that is "Required" for holiness or spirituality... in fact christianity "forbids is the celebration of religious seasons or holy days when they have been prescribed as religious duty and necessary for holiness or spirituality."

BUT--Christians can commemorate any day without judgement as long at it is done for the right reason (AKA it can't be for religious merit) 

Here is another link https://bible.org/article/should-christians-celebrate-christmas (again one of hundreds google will provide you with.

With that said... I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

Any system of the world that can be shaken IS being shaken this year including democracy. 

We have talked at length this year about totalitarian societies--but we haven't talked much about how democracies can turn into totalitarian tyranny (and the antidote).

Be sure to stay tuned till the end with a great Weaver and Loom segment.

Have we over estimated the deadliness of covid? So doctors seem to think so.

Is the cure worse than the disease?

The GREEN GROCER—the ultimate cure.

A recent article and study by John Hopkin's University demonstrates that COVID 19 has not attributed at any excessive deaths in America. In fact the death rate has not changed year over year as a trend. 

Have we over reacted and is the "cure" for covid in fact worse the the affect of Covid it self?

The response to COVID across the globe has been one of fear, control, and totalitarian power grabs—allowing strip club, bars, and alcohol stores to remain open but closing churches, synagogues and mosques and school. Is it wise? Or are we living in fear?

Today we answer a question from the audience, Sophie Scholl and the Order of the White Rose, and how us normal people can respond in the face of insult and criticism.

We discuss two heroes of World War II: Sophie Scholl and Maximilian Kolbe learning how to respond in line with your ideals in the face of wickedness, criticism and death.

You will face opposition by living a disciplined life by walking the road less travelled.

            The Question is what will you do about it and how will you RESPOND to opposition and insults and criticism.  

• Is there validity? 
  1. Is it someone who loves and cares and is genuinely seeking to understand?
  2. Is it someone who is ridiculing you and looking to destroy the good you are doing?

 Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself. Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes.

             Are you being criticized for wrong doing? Or right doing?

             If people are attacking you and insulting you because you new life style is hurting others or turning you into a selfish jerk . . . well then maybe it is justified and you need to re-evaluate wether it is working.

             If you are being criticized because you are doing good, being kinder, more generous, living healthier, telling the truth, not participating in the toxic and or illegal behavior of your old friend group…. Then rejoice—because it means you are on the right track.

             (This is where you need to be brutally honest with yourself and open you ears to mentor around you who can speak into your life with brutal honesty)

• Return Evil with Good.

Bless those who curse, be patient with those who take advantage, respond gently when evil things are said about us. When slandered, we answer with kind words.

This past week, on November 10th 2020, Norway introduced a new law that "outlawed hate speech against transgender and bisexual people" even if that speech occurred in the privacy of your own home with up to a year in prison (three years for public hate speech).

Is that an overstep? Or should speech be controlled?

It begs the question about what does it mean, and where does this path of action lead  . . . most importantly “What exactly is hate speech” AND does it actually stop “Free Speech?” Or should we have "hate speech laws" that protect privileged people groups?

I recently got called out for being "deceptive" and too ambiguous on the show. I thought that some of the criticisms were fair and understandable as to why and how I've come across that way.

This is a little "check-in" episode where we visit where this show has come from how it is evolved, and where we are going blatant with transparency as to the intent and desired purpose of this show.

I hope you like it--and if you DON"T then shoot me a message and I'd love to hear why you disagree with the purpose or direction of the show. I love hearing your feedback.
