“It is never to be expected in a revolution that every man is to change his opinion at the same moment. There never yet was any truth or any principle so irresistibly obvious that all men believed it at once. Time and reason must cooperate with each other to the final establishment of any principle; and therefore those who may happen to be first convinced have not a right to persecute others, on whom conviction operates more slowly. The moral principle of revolutions is to instruct, not to destroy.”
From “Dissertation on First-principles of Government”, by Thomas Paine, 1795
We’re in the midst of great positive changes, and, thanks to literally Millennia of programming, the general public is not consciously aware that those changes are taking place.
For example, if I were to tell even my closest friends and associates that, in the last seven years, smartphone sales have decreased by almost forty percent, that statement would be regarded with disbelief, and the message would not be regarded as a positive one.
That’s why it doesn’t cost anything to be a member of my mailing list. That, or you have to choose to come to an obscure web forum to read my stuff (once again for free). Thanks, Adam!
From the 4th Quarter of 2016 to the 2nd Quarter of 2023, international smartphone sales decreased by 39%, from 432 million units to 265.3 million units.

Technology is disappearing like frost on a spring morning.
That’s because the populace has recognized that technology has been weaponized against it.
This is my last article from Libertyville, Illinois. My wife and I are moving back to Honolulu, at last.
Yesterday afternoon, on Route 80 coming across Indiana to Pennsylvania, the skies looked like I haven’t seen since I was a child. Thunderheads. Cumulus clouds with puffy, crisp edges. Cumulus clouds that looked like animals, like we used to lie on our backs and watch when we were young.
The great positive changes that are occurring at this time also include extinct species winking back into existence on this plane of reality, and/or completely new species coming into being.
Violence and crime are decreasing exponentially to the lowest levels in history.
All of these positive changes, along with countless others, are being driven by the return to health of the ether, which the ancients knew as the fifth element. The ether, which mean-spirited Western materialism assures us all does not exist.
I can’t wait to see what happens next.
