Since I am new to your Stack I am compelled to comment about 'Batten Down The Hatches'.
You are wise to follow your intuition, your Divine Spirit connection, not only anytime, but particularly in these times we are living in. For truly a War like humankind has never known is being waged against us. Some seriously sick entities, Demons, are hellbent on taking out as much of the global populace as possible and enslaving any that are left into the Hunger Games Dystopia They strive to own and control. The methods of Their New Warfare are like nothing before. I won't belabor in this comment the details of what Their Pandora's Box holds.They have opened it, and are using weapons of Mass Destruction of all kinds, both psychological and physical. I know you know this but as you alluded to it is very troubling to see and hear such a huge percentage of those around us everyday seem oblivious to our twilight zone nightmare open air nuthouse upside down world. I feel bad for those that give us the blank stare and refuse to think of, nor talk about anything 'Bad'. Keeping a level head and emotions in check these past 4 years has taken monumental efforts, Faith and prayer. The days ahead will push our limits even farther. Choosing ones battles wisely is paramount. When I was onboard ship in the Navy off the coast of Nam we went into General Quarters, i.e. "Man Your Battle Stations" sailors and batten down all the hatches was a regular occurrence. Fortunately, unlike in the Battle Zone we live in today, when the 'General Quarters' call came over the loud speakers every sailor and officer in our crew of 350 heeded the Captain's orders and took up their station as trained. Even more fortunate that our ship never took a hit during the months we served on the seaward battle lines. We had one of the greatest Captains in all the Navy who got us through and eventually, 10 months later, home safe. There's a fun saying that started some years ago by a famous baseball pitcher, "Who's your Daddy?!" Its time, we started asking, "Who's your Captain?" Listen up sailors of this Brave New World to the wise words spoken by people like Librarian Liz. She knows who the real Captain of our world is. God Bless you in the final moments of Easter Sunday and in the days ahead.
Thank you for your thoughts. I know Substack must be watched by those evil ones but I also know that it’s existence has helped to keep me going, keep me steady these last few years. I try to prepare for the time it might be gone. Whatever their username, wherever they are, I get a chance to breathe whenever I read the authors and their commenters who also ‘see.’
I love military history. I’ve read about Nimitz, Halsey, and a little about Chesty Puller and others. Let me know if there’s a good book on your captain, I’ll look for it.
Our's was just one of a couple hundred U.S. warships off the coast of Vietnam in '71-2. To my knowledge nothing has been written about Captain E.J. Burke. If the Navy would have allowed me to serve an entire career under Captain Burke I would have done it. But, choosing your Captain, your Commanding Officer in the military is impossible. You go where They tell you to go next, no choice, no questions asked, no argument. (doesn't that sound eerily similar to present day - Put your mask on! Take these jabs! Give up your parental rights! Do what we tell you to do!). When my active duty time was up I went back home and on to a civilian life. I will forever be grateful to Captain Burke for getting us safely through combat conditions, three typhoons, a dozen Port calls in foreign lands, and 10's of thousands of nautical miles of travel. I am grateful for the letters and prayers from loved ones back home during that 10 month Western Pacific warship jaunt. Above all, then and now, I know the one true Captain that guides our way through any of our brief human experiences is written about in the Book of all Books, and leads, if we tune in, by our Spirit connection divine. As you have said, how can so many people not see the Evil that is taking place right in front of our own eyes. To those that have eyes and ears I pray they will wake up, see what is really going on, nothing sane for sure, and for our children and Grandchildren's sake stand up for our divine right of Freedom. I am reminded daily of something I wrote long ago...
"War is the immutable, unremitting absence of sanity."
Do not be afraid. Fear is the Liar. Be Courageous. God Bless you for courageously sharing your Faith, your experiences and your concerns.

And I know Puller was not Navy but I read about all kinds of folk.
