I have news for you, folks: Time is UP. It's PAST up. We're now in the scenario of everyone waking up and having the absolute worst. War, loss of all income, loss of home, abandonment by our elected representatives, foodstuffs being unhealthy, substandard, or even poisonous, war, so on and so forth.

So I make an outrageous request:

STOP.  EVERYTHING.

I mean it. Take a day off and take stock. Bring the kids and elders in for that family meeting. Arrange that knock on your congresspersons door. (You know where they live or work by now).

It's past time to start taking your world back. Or there will be absolutely nothing for you to take. You will either become a fighter, a martyr, or a slave.

What is your choice?
