Understanding the enemy

     I have long felt that the Nazi Germany of the 1930s and 40s were akin to a Muslim Europe.  The obvious similarities in the bestial hatred of Jews and the militarism between the two are compound.  If you have time to read, here is an interesting Wikipedia article dwelling on the subject; or press the photo for a history of how Palestine came to be displaced by Israel.

Relations between Nazi Germany and the Arab world

State of the Nation


    For those who truly belong to this country founded in Christianity, the quarrels overseas should serve as reminders of how blessed we are to be under God.  Don't watch too much snews.

Hola Cola EP release

 

    It's in the air.  This airy EP reflects much familial politics. The inquisitive first track is prospective of past memories and memorabilia.  The playful Nicky Nicky Nine Doors and the nerdy Fiend or Foe give rise to the epic conclusion 'The Morning People featuring Peggy Wonnenberg' hovering over the melodic riser from these two morning risers.  Enjoy!

available in the following stores:

On Climate Change and the Theory of Evolution


     For those who believe, this scripture comes to mind when current affairs are brought up online and on television.
  
    Trial by fire as it stands for those who tout the rainbow covenant of never being deluged again.  Sometimes it pays to do your homework, if not homeschooling.

Legacy

     Was curious as to what the artificial intelligence app ChatGPT made of me so I asked it to write a poem about yours truly.  Seeming to be the only person bearing the name, uniqueness has it's perks.  Pardon the selfie.

    Do word calculators spell the end of common sense as we knew it?

The Art of Polite Conversation

 

    My first three results from using the ChatGPT AI app for the first time.  The rule of thumb for polite conversation, is it not to avoid chatting about politics and religion?  Those days appear to be long gone given the intricacies of social media.

2023 Medicine Hat Stampede Parade

 

    Medicine Hat's annual Stampede Parade went off without a hitch.  Or was it a hit?  Either way you look at it, it is an upbeat tradition.


    The beauty of small towns (Shire) is their simplicity.  Watch here the hour long Stampede Parade condensed into 15 minutes.

a secular Knight

 

    A secular knight's greatest modern day weapon seems to be his wallet.  We see this where underdog movements are usurping financial thrones as society as a whole adapts to the technologies industry.  Lending context to the catchphrase “go woke, go broke”.

    In further news, the residential school mass graves turned to be a hoax, counter to what the wolves of the mainstream media reported.

Bomb Track single release

    Having never been party to the slave trade, I have never felt the need to use terminology centred around people as property or people as things.  

    Bomb track, a single release for your listening pleasure.  In dark of the latest Greta Gerwig movie and given how more money was spent advertising the movie than making it, one would think it was another 911 event being talked about every day on the news even.  Counter to the homosexual propaganda and borderline harassment of those who don’t care, here is a track borrowing from the words of the songwriters Timothy Commerford, Zack M De La Rocha, Thomas B Morello and Brad Wilk (Rage Against the Machine).

Happy Fother's Day

        Many versions of the bible refer to one of the problems plaguing society using the term 'effeminate' what today's world know as transgender.

    9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?  Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified,  but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

Thesis on demons

     In scripture, the devil is depicted as a serpent ever since the original sin of the first human couple.  The characteristic forked tongue is a symbol of the perverse speech, lies and deceit associated with the fallen angels.  The name Satan means "adversary" or "accuser".  He accuses God's people of doing wrong. (Zechariah 3:1, Revelation 12:10).  

    One would think that the "unclean spirits," the angels who forsook their original dwelling place and brought about the great deluge or flood upon the earth long ago, are also serpents.  Dwelling in the bowels of a metaphysical dungeon, experience dictates another similar analogy.

    Translation:

e-Concerto album release


    An album you will love to hate or hate to love, e-Concerto begins with an experimental recording plunked out on a keyboard gifted from family.  With no music lessons to date, the inherent intro 'Wing It' was drawn purely from inspiration from the afterworld.  The remainder of the album reaches a crescendo of electronic music with 'the Warped Mind'.  The conclusion 'Robot Prayer' speaks to how artificial intelligence (AI) is a reflection of it's influencers.

Medalta Thawed Out Country Festival


    "You received freely, give freely”.  It drawl comes to a head at the free show portion of Medalta's Thawed Out Country and Folk Music Festival.  The morning show did not have many spectators, however it made for ideal shooting conditions.


    Kalsey Kulyk has been tearing up the country charts with her song, 'Love me like an Outlaw'.  In far from a packed house, she is seen here performing a cover song of Fleetwood Mac's 'Dreams' with her husband Eric Ethridge.

Apple Heart YHWH


     Given the difficulty finding Bob Marley's music on Apple Music and the fact they did not release the EP 'Medium: the Mediocre', one can only assume that the folks at Apple have disdain for the ultimate designer, GOD the Father.  Don't let misrepresentation ruin your afterlife.

Cats! The Internet Sensation

Cost Analysis

 

    Two variations of the same 12X16" framed photograph.  The first is printed at home using HP photo paper.  The second is printed on metallic paper and covered with museum glass to prevent fading as metallic prints tend to do that over time.  Here is the breakdown:

1:  Opus frame - $50  HP print - $1  Custom Matte - $25  Plexiglass - comes with frame = approx. $76

2:  Opus frame - $50  Metallic print - $25  Museum Glass - $65 = approx. $140

The Wars of Yesteryears


     On Remembrance Day and every other, it bears consideration of  those who served to ensure our freedom during the wars of yesteryears.  It bears even more significance for those who have family who participated in the war effort.  My beloved late grandfather was one of the many who served during the Second World War.  Along with the many war stories, memories of the only grandfather I cared for come to light at this time of year.

    Let us continue to treasure the freedoms and values we have, that we might never need to fight for them again.

Sound is Light single release

    Frequencies and wavelengths forming similar spectrums were the inspiration for this track's title.  Set to a musical score, Sound is Light forms another ambient experience this side of the Rockies.

    "Under some circumstances, sound can actually form light.  It might come as a surprising fact that it is possible to turn sound into light.  The phenomena are called "sonoluminescence" whereby a loud sound generates an emission of light."

Worldly


    In the world of tomorrow, humble beginnings meet fruition.  In the world of today, we build on history and plan for the unknown.   

    Building knowledge and sensibility into the rites, traditions offer a welcome reprieve from daily hardships.  A tradition since 1887, the annual stampede draws people from all around the county. Small town meets big time in these community building rites of passage.

    Fresh from a vacation, this year's stampede parade was shot lazily from the sidelines in a touristy fashion. Hope you enjoyed it.

Be the Victor not the Victim

Re: upcoming album 'The Remastered Mindset'

     If  you believe in the spirit world and find yourself subject to a schizophrenia spellbind, life and the ensuing struggle will be much easier to cope with given the nature of the illness.

    In my experience, at it's worst, schizophrenia can be likened to enduring Hitler's concentration camps; or, perhaps a better likeness would be the floggings of the legendary Israelites under the demonic ancient Egyptian culture.  Either way you look at it, the now mortal enemies are trying to end your life by making it so miserable you will do it yourself.

    If all things are to be revealed, what I have learned about my condition is that there are people involved in the affliction.  My demons turned out to be a family I have known since childhood, making coping with circumstances much easier.  

    Using alternative to the poisonous medications treatments, orthomolecular treatments have enabled me to function to the best of my ability coupled with the prescriptions which sedate and dull the senses.  My faith in the spirit world however, is what has lead me to the knowledge of who and why is responsible for the living hell.  Faith that God is just and that in the battle between the righteous and the wicked, the wicked fall into the pits they dig for the latter.  Faith that vengeance belongs to God who will repay.  Faith that the hope that springs eternal is more than myth.  Keeping the faith enables me to be the victor not the victim.
