Quote by Kitty O'Meara

“And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed.”

“The Gates Foundation also had links to multiple doctors and scientists that advised governments on how best to respond to the 'pandemic'. In fact, the initial research paper published in March 2020 that kicked off these pseudoscientific lockdowns was conducted by Imperial College London (ICL), who received $79,006,570 from the Gates Foundation that same month... Their 'study' has since been called 'totally unreliable' and 'impossible to read' by other researchers. Despite being recognized as the primary force behind why governments imposed lockdowns, Imperial’s paper was never even published in a science journal or peer-reviewed.”

“Admittedly navigating the tough terrain of a lopsided Tory majority, Covid lockdowns, and a vaccine rollout that massively boosted support for the Tories, Starmer nevertheless cut a tetchy and shallow figure. His lauded 'forensic' approach to the parliamentary jousting of Prime Minister's Questions never materialised; instead and in spite of the government's mishandling of the pandemic that led Britain to the highest death toll in Europe, Starmer frequently found himself congratulating Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his party on their leadership. His erratic complaints and oppositional stances were inconsistent and largely seen as opportunistic.; he was quickly slapped with the nickname, 'Captain Hindsight'.”

“Never being on the shortlist of people’s attention may arouse a sensation of desolation but may, all together, be an expectant challenge to excel and exceed oneself, as it can inflame the will to extract unsuspected power from the inner self, never to give up and to hit the ground and run…ever since life may offer an astounding window of opportunity to assert oneself in a land of contention. ("Not on the shortlist" )”

“Don’t be fooled by clever hands, sir” the Sunlight Man said. He’d be lying with the back of his head on his hands, as he always lay. “Entertainment’s all very well, but the world is serious. It’s exceedingly amusing, when you think about it: nothing in life is as startling or shocking or mysterious as a good magician’s trick. That’s what makes stagecraft deadly. Listen closely, friend. You see great marvels performed on the stage - the lady sawed in half, the fat man supported by empty air, the Hindu vanishing with the folding of a cloth - and the subtlest of poisons drifts into your brain: you think the earth dead because the sky is full of spirits, you think the hall drab because the stage is adazzle with dimestore gilt. So King Lear rages, and the audience grows meek, and tomorrow, in the gray of old groceries, the housewife will weep for Cordelia and despair for herself. They weren’t fools, those old sages who called all art the Devil’s work. It eats the soul.”
