I watched the podcast and enjoyed it. I love the framing music. I’m not a writer, but I appreciate the encouragement. Getting out of your bubble, doing something completely different, is such a helpful way to get some perspective on a problem. I appreciate so much your desire to help others.

J. Kevin,

Congrats on you completing the circle back to where you were. Many people don't make that trip successfully. All the best, Jim

I can relate. Five years ago my wife and I knew that something was coming. The measles-paranoia of 2019 had been rampant. Legislators all across the country had been trying to remove vaccine exemptions for public school attendance. California eliminated everything but medical, and then told doctors they could only do 5 exemptions or they'd be facing the Board of Health. All for an illness that claimed 400 lives a year pre-vaccine (and was already declining before the vax.) Post vaccine program, VAERS shows 400 lives lost due to all vaccines. But then Harvard Medical did a study in 2019 (funded by the CDC for $1million) to evaluate VAERS and found that it only captured <1% of adverse events. Meaning that 400 lives lost to vaccines, could actually be 40,000 (or more!)

All this showed us that there was a move to control. Vaccines were going to be the way. There are powerful people across the world that have more money than sense; that are filled with arrogance. They think they know best. They think us cattle will only destroy the world. They want to "save" us, and more importantly save the world. Their legacy will not exist, otherwise.

So my wife and I and others knew that in 2020 there would be challenges. The WHO listed Anti-vaxxers as one of the top 10 health threats to the world. So, we knew it would be bad. But we never could know how bad it would get. That governors would decide who and what was, or was not, essential. That peoples' lives and careers would be destroyed by government whim, all in the effort for the "greater good." That the Constitution would be burned, our natural rights considered a burden to "safety." That people should be isolated, essential services like hospitals closed for all but one purpose. It was bedlam.

And while some relished the time to kick back and binge Netflix, order Door Dash, work from home, and get groceries by Instacart, for those that saw the U.S. was on a fast track to a totalitarian state, it was not time to watch the Tiger King, it was time to get involved. Governors were quite literally making "law." That is not a function of governors. Legislators make laws. They represent us. And they can not make unconstitutional laws. Those are null and void. Governors that make law are Dictators. This must never be forgotten, or allowed to happen again.

So, during that time, my first full size fantasy heist novel sequel was about done, I was hoping to get closer to turn writing into more than just a hobby, but we saw that Liberty was burning. We went to rallies, we went to State Capitols, we contacted our representatives, we contacted businesses, we talked to people whenever and wherever. And I got burned out. My book that was supposed to be done in 2020, is only now going to release this year. I've done little writing since. But Freedom is important. Without it, we don't have a future, and neither do our kids.

So, I understand your pain. I don't know your full journey, but I can resonate.
