October is the month of harvest and Halloween, ghosts and goblins, corn shocks and pumpkins, scary creatures, witches and black cats, and trick or treat. Everyone gets involved from adults to small children. Candy is everywhere and wishful thinking like Linus in the movie “Charlie Brown and the Great Pumpkin.” Also scary movies are prevalent, calculated to remove us from reality. The whole month of October is dedicated to the unreal, culminating in one evening, October 31, that is known as Halloween.
This year, as in the last two years, real life has somewhat mirrored Halloween in that we have all been required to wear masks in public. And also that, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are fearful of the unknown, and also mistrustful of almost everyone and everything. We have become superstitious and anxious due to a disease that could be hiding anywhere, ready to attach itself to those of us who are not very careful or to the clueless and unsuspecting. And, consequently, we are not totally sure whether our fears are based on science or spells woven by witches or told by tech companies or mass media just to further confuse us as to what is real or what is unreal. Does a mask really protect us or not? Does a vaccination protect us or not? And which one, and for how long? Are we following proven guidelines? Is a lockdown helpful or harmful? Halloween itself at least has an endpoint. Our real life fears and concerns have gone on for a few years with no end in sight, just another set of projections. We have had short periods of relaxed guidelines, but they have been followed by a tightening of restrictions and even intimidations. This becomes a little like a “bait and switch” or even like “trick or treat.” But not nearly as much fun as going door to door with a bag or a basket.
Some of these fantasies that we are facing are somewhere between insanity and stupidity, e.g. CT or CRT, where people with a sinister agenda attempt to rewrite history or laws thinking that we average people won’t notice or won’t care enough to investigate or won’t even be able to be aware because of a one-sided media, news, and Big Tech social media censorship. In an era before ours or even years after ours these ridiculous ideas would be laughable, but, because of creeping authoritarianism, socialism, and Marxism which attempt to crush the individual and individual thinking, these ideas are not laughable, but dangerous to us and our society. And even worse are the movements which seek to turn us against one another simply by the way we look or talk or dress or by our skin color. Anything different will do to cause hatred or mistrust of each other.
Even more evil is the attempt to indoctrinate us to a societal organization that has never worked in history and will never work except in the minds of warped and evil people. But they press on regardless by attempting to brainwash the malleable minds of our schools, K – 12, our colleges, fracturing their ability to think clearly and freely, our businesses and corporations, and even our military. This is a lot like living in the “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.” Nothing makes any logical sense. And the news media once again are complicit, only presenting one side of events. This seems like all of the media are infested by ghouls and goblins, witches and warlocks, vampires, werewolves and many other scary creatures with evil intents. All year long, not just in October. Journalism has become deception.
So how are we to reverse the effects of Halloween after the event itself is over? Our aim is simple – freedom. We need to be able to express an opposing opinion without reprisal. We need to be able to think freely and creatively. We need to be in charge of our own lives and jobs and especially of our children once again. Our families and churches and privacy need to be sacrosanct and inviolable. We need to “unmask” as a society. We need also to unveil evilness wherever it occurs, not only in our own lives, but in our leaders and our governing bodies.
We can never return to normal. Normal will be far different from our past version. But, if we are strong enough and awake enough to reality, it will be far better than it ever has been. A new planting and harvest is in order, and a new way of living, free of hidden and insidious agendae, “trick or treat” and sleight of hand by those with evil intent. Kindness must return, with our freedom to worship, and a return to abiding by the tenets of our Constitution and Bill of Rights. Our freedoms are not free. We must work for them on a daily basis. May God bless us, and may God bless these United States of America.
