Because of this, I performed a reading on the current investigation to expose the energies surrounding it from the past to the present and into the future. What the cards exposed is troubling. The first card to come out concerning the past was the Ten of Swords. I viewed this as the investigation being dead on arrival. Authorities decided to ensure there would never be a real investigation of what happened concerning the MV Barima. This was followed by the Two of Wands. The Two of Wands says that once it was decided the investigation would never legitimately happen, everyone began to move on. This was then followed by the Sun card in reverse, meaning little or no real information regarding the tragedy has been assessed or considered.</p><p>The people of Guyana are demanding a full and thorough investigation, while officials decided to kill the investigation before it even began. The current energy shows the government engaging the public in the energy of the Knight of Swords in reverse. This means the investigation is now politicized, disorganized, and causing conflict with the citizens of Guyana, as well as everyone involved. This conflict is so grueling that the government is deciding to back off because it views continuing to battle with the public as too costly. This has caused them to go into an energy of weighing their options. They are going back to the drawing board with the Two of Pentacles energy, attempting to figure out how to move forward.</p><p>The cards show the government choosing to try to sweep the investigation under the rug, with the Death card coming out in reverse. They could have chosen to change their ways and perform a real investigation after coming into conflict with the public over their original choice never to have a real investigation. Instead, they will choose to move forward with their original plan. The problem with that approach is that information is going to come to the surface that will contradict their approach of remaining blind to what happened concerning the MV Barima. This is shown by the Two of Swords coming out in reverse. Previously withheld information will be made public. Internal disagreements between officials will boil to the surface. Decision-makers will be forced to make decisions they previously failed to make. This is going to force the FBI to get involved. The Emperor card comes out to finish the reading. I perceive this as a foreign entity needing to get involved because the government of Guyana is incapable of handling an investigation of this magnitude. The imposition of rules, boundaries, and a clear chain of command will be necessary for this investigation to be properly performed. The FBI will be the institution to bring that to the table and give everyone closure concerning the MV Barima.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[MV Barima Tarot Reading Points

interpretation: <strong>the cards appear to be drawing attention toward children, vulnerable dependents, and the possibility that important information involving them has been concealed.</strong></p><p>At the heart of the reading is the <strong>Page of Cups</strong>.</p><p>The Page is often associated with youth, innocence, emotional vulnerability, and messages that emerge unexpectedly. In a reading concerning a national tragedy, this card can represent children directly. It can also represent people who were dependent upon adults and institutions for their safety.</p><p>But the Page of Cups does not stand alone.</p><p>It is surrounded by cards that speak of deception, failed protection, intimidation, financial corruption, and information slipping beyond someone&#8217;s control.</p><p>Behind the Page appears the <strong>Magician reversed</strong>.</p><p>The Magician reversed can represent deception, concealed information, manipulation, false records, or someone abusing their access, authority, and knowledge. In the context of the MV Barima tragedy, this immediately raises questions about passenger records, undocumented travelers, missing names, contradictory accounts, and whether the public has been given the complete story.</p><p>Were all the children aboard properly documented?</p><p>Were the ages and identities of every passenger accurately recorded?</p><p>Were children allowed onto the vessel outside of official procedures?</p><p>Did someone manipulate records or knowingly permit vulnerable passengers to travel without being properly accounted for?</p><p>These are questions the spread refuses to allow us to quietly place beneath the water.</p><p>The <strong>Empress reversed</strong> makes the interpretation even more troubling.</p><p>The Empress normally represents motherhood, nourishment, protection, care, and the preservation of life. Reversed, she can represent failed maternal protection, neglect of dependents, children not being properly cared for, or institutions failing in their duty to protect those placed under their authority.</p><p>In a government reading, the Empress reversed may reveal a state that has abandoned its responsibility as caretaker. It speaks of a system that failed to shelter its most vulnerable citizens and may have allowed children to enter dangerous circumstances without proper oversight or protection.</p><p>The <strong>Strength card reversed</strong> points toward helplessness, fear, intimidation, and people who could not defend themselves.</p><p>Children aboard a sinking vessel would embody that symbolism in its most literal and heartbreaking form. But the card may also represent witnesses, survivors, employees, or families who feel powerless to speak openly about what they know.</p><p>The <strong>King of Pentacles reversed</strong> introduces corrupt authority, financial exploitation, bribery, profiteering, and powerful people treating human welfare as secondary to money.</p><p>This raises a darker possibility. Were financial incentives involved in allowing undocumented passengers aboard? Were safety rules ignored because someone stood to profit? Were vulnerable families or children treated as cargo rather than human beings whose lives required protection?</p><p>The <strong>Four of Pentacles reversed</strong> suggests that something once controlled may now be escaping containment. Records, information, testimony, or hidden arrangements may be slipping out of the hands of those who believed they could manage the narrative.</p><p>Whatever was being held tightly may now be coming loose.</p><p>Standing above the spread is the <strong>Hierophant upright</strong>, calling for lawful inquiry, moral accountability, institutional discipline, and testimony placed before legitimate authorities.</p><p>The Hierophant is not asking for rumors. It is demanding an investigation.</p><p>It calls for passenger lists to be examined, families to be interviewed, crew members to be questioned, financial records to be reviewed, and the identities of every missing person to be publicly and honestly accounted for.</p><p>This spread does not feel limited to mechanical failure.</p><p>It points toward vulnerable people, particularly children, surrounded by deception, failed protection, helplessness, corruption, and concealed information.</p><p>Tarot is not a criminal indictment, but it can reveal where attention should be directed. In this reading, the cards are directing attention toward the children.</p><p>Who were they?</p><p>How many were aboard?</p><p>Were they properly documented?</p><p>Who was responsible for protecting them?</p><p>And what, if anything, remains hidden beneath the official account of the MV Barima tragedy?</p><p>The waters may be dark, but the cards are asking that nothing involving these children remain buried within them.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[MV Barima Tragedy: What is in the Cards]]></title><description><![CDATA[The dark waters of Guyana are a symbol of life

From them springs forth all that is good in that beautiful nation. But that which causes life can also provide death, especially when those deep waters are not respected. On the night of July 18, 2026, tragedy struck within these dark waters. The MV Barima, a government-owned passenger and cargo ferry, began taking on water and listing near Iron Punt. It was on its way to Port Kaituma from Georgetown when it capsized into the deep. There were reportedly 179 people aboard, including crew. Investigators have determined that the vessel listed only 133 passengers, leading to theories that the crew had allowed the boat to be overloaded while accepting bribes to allow undocumented passengers aboard. Only 69 people have been rescued. Twenty-seven bodies, including those of at least four children, have been recovered, while 83 people remain missing. With a criminal investigation ongoing, few details have emerged as to the factors that led to this tragedy.</p><p>I performed a Tarot reading in which the cards reveal an upside-down situation, with most of the cards coming out in reverse. The first card I pulled related to the heart of the matter. The Page of Cups came out, revealing that this was a tragedy in which the government of Guyana&#8217;s focus may have been misplaced leading up to the events that caused it. The Page of Cups reveals a government focused on the arts, culture, beauty, architecture, festivals, public ceremonies, and national image. It reflects leadership placing importance on emotional connection to the citizens, diplomacy, reconciliation, and soft power. The Page isn&#8217;t a King, a Queen, or even an Emperor. Ultimately, the Page of Cups shows the immaturity and naivete of mistaking good intentions for strong governance.</p><p>Behind this Page came the Magician in reverse. This is an energy that symbolizes a government that acts as a Page of Cups out of fear. It is a fear that they lack the resources, ability, or depth to truly govern the nation of Guyana. Supporting all of this is the energy of the Strength card in reverse. This means the leadership is in a constant struggle over power. They are overwhelmed, inconsistent, and corrupt. It would appear that the MV Barima tragedy was a direct result of an immature government operating out of fear while the leadership battles behind the scenes for power and remains inconsistent and corrupt.</p><p>The card that came out for what would aid the nation in this time of shock and mourning is the Hierophant. The word Hierophant means holy in the ancient Greek language. The appearance of this card means the government of Guyana needs to turn to a high level of leadership that not only governs according to man&#8217;s law but also reflects what is good and right within the law of the universe. The corruption and immature games that have placated the world up to this point need to be put down. The leadership of Guyana needs to get right with God and lead without bias through strength and honesty.</p><p>The Empress card coming out in reverse is a call for the government to tackle the neglect, empty promises, corruption, and counterproductive manner in which the nation has been operating up to this point head-on. This has caused the citizens of Guyana to live without some of their greatest desires. The Four of Pentacles in reverse showed these desires being ignored. The people are longing for a government that handles its power responsibly, with fairness and conscientiousness. The MV Barima tragedy is revealing to the world, through the King of Pentacles in reverse, that the government has abused its power through corruption for far too long. Even its response has been belligerent, with threats being sent to social media platforms instead of focusing on the responsibilities at hand. Things are not looking good for the people of Guyana. The cards are revealing very dark leadership in government, darker than the life-giving waters the nation prides itself on.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mark Cuban Is the Latest Billionaire Fool Under Judgement]]></title><description><![CDATA[Inequality in America has always been a problem.

and just playing field for all its citizens.<span> </span>We are now in the year 2026 and inequality is growing at a pace where the nation is falling apart.<span> </span>Enter Mark Cuban, the maverick billionaire who has made it his mission to tackle this issue once and for all.<span> </span>Fortune Magazine posted a piece yesterday on Cuban&#8217;s &#8220;solution to the growing income inequality&#8221; problem we have faced since our founding.<span> </span>He calls on every business to give company stock to every employee from the CEO to the janitor.<span> </span>And just like that inequality will end.<span> </span>I read this piece totally shocked with his naivety.<span> </span>I couldn&#8217;t believe a smart billionaire could have such a simpleton mindset when it comes to something so huge that has plagued our nation for so long.<span> </span>I turned to the Tarot deck to see what was going on here.</p><p>The first card to drop was the Fool card.<span> </span>Mark Cuban is coming into this situation bounding with glee, without a care in the world.<span> </span>He is of the energy of someone who is taking a leap of faith in full confidence that the angels will catch him when he jumps off the cliff.<span> </span>This was followed by the Lovers card.<span> </span>The subject of inequality in America makes him feel loved and whole again.<span> </span>Tackling this subject brings him so much love and peace he feels it&#8217;s his life&#8217;s calling.<span> </span>He&#8217;s able to take this leap and feel so loved doing it because he is supported by the Six of Pentacles energy.<span> </span>The Six of Pentacles is a card that shows the person embodying it can give back to the world after a life a hardships and trials.<span> </span>Advising the nation to push for stock offerings to every employee in a corporation is Cuban&#8217;s way of being charitable and looking out for those not as blessed as him.</p><p>My intuition on the entire billionaire class in America tells me they are detached and have no idea what the true problems are facing the average American.<span> </span>This act of charity by Cuban is a confirmation in my mind.<span> </span>He lacks the understanding and awareness needed to step into such a heavy topic as inequality.<span> </span>There are layers to this.<span> </span>America has had this problem since its founding because of serious issues with how our system is built.<span> </span>Cuban like the other billionaires seems to feel a sense of obligation but lacks the vision to execute and alleviate himself of this obligatory burden.<span> </span>The reality is most of them have gamed the system for their wealth.<span> </span>Some have even cheated it.<span> </span>It is a system of inequality that rewards the cheaters and criminals and punishes honest hard-working Americans.<span> </span>Company stock can&#8217;t fix that.</p><p>The Six of Swords popped up showing Cuban needs to move on from this topic.<span> </span>The problem is he is in Fool energy while feeling loved talking about it.<span> </span>And since he has the resources and desire to give back, he won&#8217;t step away.<span> </span>He is going to continue to push down this path.<span> </span>The problem is a Ten of Swords is awaiting him.<span> </span>The Ten of Swords is one of the most brutal cards in the Tarot deck.<span> </span>It&#8217;s closer to death than the Death card.<span> </span>But Cuban isn&#8217;t going to stop because he also gets to embody the Queen of Swords energy engaging with this topic.<span> </span>As pushback comes his way through the Ten of Swords he is going to defend himself by slicing and dicing his detractors.<span> </span>His argument is going to be persuasive, and he is going to sound smart to all the other billionaires watching him on this path.<span> </span>The problem is he will ultimately find himself under Judgement going down this path, with the Judgement card coming out as the ultimate insight on this reading.</p><p>Billionaires who gamed a system of inequality probably shouldn&#8217;t try to be altruistic by offering band aids to a population suffering from gaping wounds.<span> </span>Cuban is minimizing a huge problem that needs real solutions.<span> </span>Solutions that should change the entire system he gamed for his riches.<span> </span>I feel he knows the entire system needs an overhaul but at the same time he doesn&#8217;t want to give up the advantages that allow him to prance around like a fool while receiving roses he doesn&#8217;t deserve.<span> </span>He is a man of ego, and the Ten of Swords is the ego killer.<span> </span>Another billionaire will bite the dust it seems.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Cards Say Trump Is Under Judgement and Will Move on From the Iran War]]></title><description><![CDATA[President Trump is in the energy

This means he is hell-bent on accomplishing whatever outcome he envisions. He entered this hell-bent, win-at-all-costs mindset in the energy of the High Priestess reversed. This means he entered this conflict small-minded, trying to force outcomes that were impossible. The past energy that put him in a state of forcing impossible outcomes was an unwillingness to change, with the Death card in reverse coming out as the past environment in this reading. President Trump couldn&#8217;t accept that his vision of the world was coming to an end, or that his presidency would usher in a new world order with which he disagreed. This is why the Judgment card came out on top of the Knight of Swords. The Sun card followed, with the divine shining the light of truth over his win-at-all-costs charge into the unknown.</p>

is superior: superior to other men, superior to his peers, superior to God.<span> </span>He is uncomfortable in his own skin, a man-child who overindulges in his vices while pretending to be divine.<span> </span>I can&#8217;t laugh off his folly because it&#8217;s so offensive.<span> </span>It&#8217;s offensive to be lectured to by such an evil man.<span> </span>He lectures us, laughs at us, and stands over us as if he is some kind of god sitting on Mount Olympus.<span> </span>He uses his wealth to influence the masses through social media and politics to further his multitude of ventures.<span> </span>He doesn&#8217;t care about divine order, God, God&#8217;s people, or love.</p><p>Thiel&#8217;s essay, &#8220;The Pope and the Antichrist,&#8221; was published internationally today, and it exposes one of his main insecurities.<span> </span>He attacks the Catholic faith while bragging about his staff protecting him from the anger of Vatican priests.<span> </span>His focus on the Catholic Church reveals his lack of spiritual depth and experience.<span> </span>Those of us who have engaged in spiritual warfare most of our lives know that the Catholic Church is a false institution that holds no honor in the eyes of God.<span> </span>It is a wicked institution responsible for some of the worst atrocities the world has ever seen.<span> </span>Thiel engaging the Church by attempting to &#8220;be more Catholic than the average Catholic&#8221; is an attempt to bolster his status in the spiritual community.<span> </span>He pretends to have spiritual stature when he has none.</p><p>The truth is, Thiel&#8217;s stature is solidly exalted in the halls of Satan&#8217;s temple.<span> </span>He is a perfect example of the tried-and-true parable Jesus spoke of: &#8220;Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.<span> </span>And again, I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.&#8221;<span> </span>Surely Thiel must know how this parable applies to him.<span> </span>He must know he stands naked before all who have spiritual discernment.<span> </span>How can a man make money, trinkets, and perceived power his main objectives yet have the audacity to believe he is teaching the masses about the secrets of the Most Holy of Holies?<span> </span>It&#8217;s laughable on its face.</p><p>Thiel&#8217;s essay also violates King Solomon&#8217;s wisdom.<span> </span>Solomon made it clear to all who have ears to hear: &#8220;In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.&#8221;<span> </span>In modern wording: When people speak excessively, sin is rarely absent, but wisdom knows when to remain silent.<span> </span>When a billionaire decides to become excessively vocal on theological issues like the Antichrist, I see a red flag, a huge red flag King Solomon speaks of in his writings.<span> </span>The Antichrist is a subject buried deep in spiritual discernment.<span> </span>It shouldn&#8217;t be taken lightly.<span> </span>One must approach the subject with humbleness, understanding that it is one of the deepest subject matters related to spiritual knowledge and understanding.<span> </span>The Antichrist has nothing to do with whatever is going on in the world of man.</p><p>Thiel writes in his essay that the Antichrist is a man who will come claiming peace while preaching about worldly issues related to nuclear weapons, environmentalism, and regulatory regimes.<span> </span>He shows how thoroughly lost he is in the world of his ego.<span> </span>Thiel truly believes the issues most important to his business ventures are the issues the Antichrist will focus on when he comes to power.<span> </span>Once again, laughable.<span> </span>Thiel is making childlike arguments while chastising the Catholic Church, believing this is a sign of divinity.<span> </span>He is lost in the mental playground of ego.<span> </span>But since he is a billionaire in a lost world, he is taken seriously.<span> </span>He is viewed as an expert on the spiritual.<span> </span>This is why I can no longer laugh at his attempt to use religion as a sheepskin covering over his wolf identity.</p><p>A true member of the flock of God&#8217;s sheep through Christ knows what Thiel doesn&#8217;t know.<span> </span>We know the Antichrist will primarily bring enmity to God and God&#8217;s people.<span> </span>He will war against us through hatred and witchcraft.<span> </span>We know the Antichrist will pit husband against wife, child against parent, and nation against nation.<span> </span>He will lead through ego, greed, and suffering disguised as ascension through wealth, fame, and fortune.<span> </span>The followers of the Antichrist will be sexual deviants.<span> </span>They will be rapists and abusers, and they will be celebrated for it.<span> </span>The Antichrist will use false prophets and teachers to fool even the most discerning person.<span> </span>The main goal of the Antichrist will be to lead God&#8217;s people away from love and heaven and toward hell.<span> </span>The masses will mock anyone who opposes the Antichrist.<span> </span>They will celebrate his rise and worship him in the place of God.</p><p>Billionaire lectures and essays aren&#8217;t needed to know the basics of who the Antichrist will be.<span> </span>God&#8217;s people will recognize the Antichrist immediately, and we will be silenced when he arrives.<span> </span>The world won&#8217;t be able to hear our warnings because ego-filled wealthy men will play the role of God&#8217;s oracle to the world, leading the masses astray while claiming divinity.<span> </span>What I am saying is nothing new.<span> </span>The same tactics Satan has always used will be used by the Antichrist.<span> </span>As Solomon said, &#8220;The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.<span> </span>Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.&#8221;</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reality]]></title><description><![CDATA[I have always been a loyal heart.

revenge or attempted to take something that wasn&#8217;t mine in the 49 years I have been on this earth.<span> </span>I say this to lay a foundation for the truth I am going to expose in this piece about America and the modern world.<span> </span>I am not writing this as a critic.<span> </span>Or as a cry for justice.<span> </span>I am not a victim and feel no ill will toward anyone in my past or present.<span> </span>I view this piece as more of an observation from an unbiased source who has lived life honestly and with integrity.</p><p>Since my days of youth, I have searched for souls I could cavort with in honesty and truth.<span> </span>I held no bias or litmus test related to race, gender, wealth, beauty, or intelligence throughout this search.<span> </span>I simply wanted to find loyalty and truth in another human being.<span> </span>My parents were the first to fail to recompense me for the loyalty and truth I provided them.<span> </span>I am the oldest of eight children, and all my siblings failed to meet me with the loyalty and truth I lived in.<span> </span>So I went outside of my family and couldn&#8217;t find a single person in my community, church group, or school who was willing to share even an ounce of loyalty or truth with me.<span> </span>Every single person placed wealth or status above truth and loyalty.</p><p>Later in my professional life, I not only failed to find any loyalty or truth within a single person, but I discovered betrayal and backstabbing.<span> </span>It was an endless fountain of duplicity and conniving plots and schemes I was forced to live through.<span> </span>Once again, wealth and status were the main drivers behind most people I engaged with.<span> </span>Though I could have become jaded, I kept a childlike curiosity and love for life.<span> </span>I refused to allow my heart to be hardened because I knew the value of potentially meeting even one person of integrity who lived a loyal and truthful life.</p><p>I turned to my love life and searched for a loyal and truthful partner.<span> </span>I eventually married a woman I had known since we were twelve years old.<span> </span>I truly believed the foundation I had laid with her as a friend for many years would allow her to be open to a lasting relationship of love and loyalty based in truth.<span> </span>I was wrong.<span> </span>She betrayed me and then turned around and did everything to destroy me after a bitter divorce.<span> </span>She used my children as pawns in her war against me.<span> </span>Others joined her in what could best be called gang stalking to dismember me in every way: physically, financially, and spiritually.<span> </span>Still, I stayed the course and poured love into my children.<span> </span>I held on for dear life for years under an endless barrage of attacks.<span> </span>My community turned on me; co-workers and future lovers all joined my ex-wife&#8217;s crusade to destroy my name and future.</p><p>As I moved on from this, I carried a stigma.<span> </span>It was as if I was marked with a scarlet letter on my forehead.<span> </span>It was as if I was being punished for being alive.<span> </span>For being a loyal heart.<span> </span>For never allowing my heart to grow cold.<span> </span>Never giving up on living a life based in truth and honesty.<span> </span>I came to learn that, in America, honesty and truth are worse than poverty.<span> </span>Being a loyal heart, a person who could be trusted, and a hard worker is viewed as being a clown or a con man.<span> </span>The deep hatred I have received has been shocking.<span> </span>And it has come from every direction and in every sector of society.</p><p>I have come to realize that there are so few people who live a life based on truth and loyalty that it has become a fool&#8217;s errand trying to find even one.<span> </span>There are so many who portray themselves as loyal and truthful people, but they really aren&#8217;t.<span> </span>Maybe, on a surface level, they are, but when it comes to wealth and status, most have compromised themselves.<span> </span>They will never admit this.<span> </span>Most successful people will swear up and down they never performed sexual acts for a job or promotion.<span> </span>Most will never admit that they forced co-workers seeking a job or promotion to cheat on their spouse or partner to receive the said promotion or job.<span> </span>No successful person is going to admit that they sabotaged a competitor for no good reason other than jealousy or an inability to compete on a level playing field.</p><p>I&#8217;ve discovered through an honest and unbiased lens that the biggest lie in America is that it is a land of merit.<span> </span>That if you work hard and play by the rules you will be rewarded.<span> </span>And it&#8217;s fine for this to be a lie.<span> </span>The problem is that everyone is pretending as if it isn&#8217;t the biggest lie.<span> </span>Entire industries are based on the idea that the best of the best are recognized through hard work, honesty, and integrity.<span> </span>The stock market runs on this assumption.<span> </span>Our children are essentially brainwashed into believing this lie.</p><p>As I have said, I am not writing this as some kind of cry from a victim.<span> </span>I am simply an honest and unbiased participant in this game we call life.<span> </span>I write this not to criticize or curse America.<span> </span>This isn&#8217;t a piece bemoaning the ills of America.<span> </span>I am simply sharing the truth of what I have discovered after 49 years of honestly trying to engage with one single loyal heart other than mine.<span> </span>It is what it is.<span> </span>This isn&#8217;t a land of opportunity and wealth.<span> </span>It is a land of lies, duplicity, dishonesty, and corruption.<span> </span>On all levels and within every facet.<span> </span>America is a nation of poor souls forever on a circular treadmill of backstabbing, disloyalty, and loneliness.<span> </span>People are barely even attempting to pretend they are honest souls anymore.<span> </span>It really has come down to a win-at-all-costs endeavor for wealth and status.</p><p>I feel sorry for my children.<span> </span>I&#8217;ve raised them to be loyal hearts.<span> </span>To live lives of integrity based on truth and honesty.<span> </span>I&#8217;ve entrusted my legacy to them.<span> </span>But I worry for their souls.<span> </span>I worry that they will spend decades like me in an ocean of duplicitous people wearing masks of honesty while plotting their destruction.<span> </span>I worry that they, too, will be condemned to being viewed as dumb because they refuse to hurt others or seek out revenge on those who have hurt them.<span> </span>I&#8217;m hoping my sacrifices and teachings will help them find a true friendship based on honesty and truth.<span> </span>I hope that they can succeed where I failed.<span> </span>They already have because they have me.<span> </span>Though I could never and probably will never find another loyal heart, I at least know I am that for them.<span> </span>They will always know their father never once betrayed them in any way.<span> </span>That I stayed honest and loyal to them through everything life threw at us.<span> </span>This is why I hold no grudge against the world.<span> </span>Though I could never find another like me, I was able to provide my children with this gift.<span> </span>Which is all I really need.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intuition ]]></title><description><![CDATA[I want to wish the best of luck to all my past co-workers in the think tank world and journalism.

taking small steps to transition professionally away from the government watchdog world and into the intuitively inspired investigation world.<span> </span>One of the hardest things I&#8217;ve ever experienced was attempting to blend my unique intuitively based perspective with the investigative journalism world.<span> </span>Hiding who I really was made me a people pleaser.<span> </span>It also watered down the gifts God blessed me with.<span> </span>I laughed many times after having long conversations with journalists over how I knew something that had no proof to support it.<span> </span>But I was also wounded every time my thoughts were rejected because I hid my identity as an intuitive investigator who relied on psychic abilities.</p><p>Many of my former co-workers, family, and friends may be surprised to read this.<span> </span>It may also surprise them to hear that I&#8217;ve always relied on dreams, remote viewing, meditation, and visions as the backbone of the work I did with investigative journalists.<span> </span>Maybe I came across as zoned out or not in the same room when I was with them.<span> </span>I might have seemed autistic or as though I had ADHD.<span> </span>What I was really doing was diving into their energy and interacting with their aura.<span> </span>I can read thoughts.<span> </span>I also channel spirits when I give advice.<span> </span>I regret waiting until now to reveal this.<span> </span>I&#8217;ve felt like a fraud for so long that I&#8217;m finally living in my truth.</p><p>Part of the reason why I waited so long to reveal this is that I didn&#8217;t know what these gifts were.<span> </span>It took going through a spiritual war with a group of bandits to realize my gifts were unique and spiritually based.<span> </span>Maybe even otherworldly.<span> </span>There were hints along the way, though.<span> </span>My hands have always been soft for a man.<span> </span>So soft they embarrass me.<span> </span>But I learned they&#8217;re soft partly because they heal.<span> </span>Bees have always been attracted to me, landing on me to take a rest while harvesting pollen.<span> </span>Birds and other wild animals play around me wherever I go.<span> </span>I&#8217;ve always felt like I was melting into the environment when I spent time in nature.<span> </span>I have a deep trust and connection with the earth.<span> </span>I always thought everyone felt this way.<span> </span>It finally dawned on me I was different.<span> </span>All these little hints were in the back of my mind daily until I finally accepted who I am.</p><p>Once I accepted who I am, I then had to find a way to reveal it to those around me.<span> </span>I started with my children, who took it well.<span> </span>But I also cut off almost everyone in my life.<span> </span>Most of my friends, family, and co-workers started to feel like wild animals around me when I tried to explain my true identity.<span> </span>Savages even.<span> </span>Our interactions became so harsh I had no choice but to end all communication with most of them.<span> </span>I have become so spiritually sensitive to those around me that normal communication almost feels like I am being accosted or groped.<span> </span>These aren&#8217;t bad people.<span> </span>They&#8217;re simply drenched in a low vibrational mode of living.<span> </span>I haven&#8217;t made an adverse judgment against them.<span> </span>They&#8217;re surviving in a world that forces them into a low vibration to have what they perceive as success.<span> </span>Most are trying really hard to be good people.<span> </span>I&#8217;m not really of this world.<span> </span>I&#8217;ve finally accepted that.</p><p>This transition was also hard because I don&#8217;t want to be an outsider.<span> </span>I yearn to blend into society.<span> </span>I would love a quiet, unassuming life.<span> </span>The problem is that God has given me these gifts to perform a serious job.<span> </span>A thankless job that makes me an enemy of powerful people.<span> </span>Vindictive people.<span> </span>The type of people who use their power to destroy anyone who could possibly threaten the kingdoms they&#8217;ve built here on earth.<span> </span>It makes me want to cry when I think about the things God shares with me.<span> </span>My heart weighs heavily with sadness and regret, knowing I must speak the truth in the face of so much opposition.<span> </span>This is not a job I want.<span> </span>But it is the job I have been given.</p><p>I&#8217;ve created a new platform to align with this calling.<span> </span>The Intuition Bureau will have a new website up early next week.<span> </span>I will be offering investigative services based on my research background mixed with the psychic abilities I have.<span> </span>I will be using Tarot cards and bone divination to harness the information given to me by the Creator through his angels and other spiritual beings.<span> </span>I will also be offering consultative services where I will channel Spirit for those seeking guidance and advice.<span> </span>Everything is on the table:<span> </span>corporate, personal, and religious advice.<span> </span>Everything I will do will be based in love and truth.<span> </span>I will also offer prayer services pro bono for those who are sick, suffering from addiction, or simply need love and forgiveness from God.</p><p>I look forward to working with all who are called to obtain my services.<span> </span>You will be a part of my soul family.<span> </span>My new family.<span> </span>I wish nothing but love to those who feel rejected by this message.<span> </span>I won&#8217;t be for everyone.<span> </span>But I still pray for all, even my enemies.<span> </span>Thank you for taking the time to read this to the end.<span> </span>I&#8217;ll continue to be on Facebook through Offramp Politics.<span> </span>I will also continue my show.<span> </span>It will be different as I will focus more on channeling my message and using my intuition.<span> </span>Have a blessed day!</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Healing Deep Wounds]]></title><description><![CDATA[This is a quick and simple guide on successfully traversing the perilous path of healing

Mercy without memory. Forgiveness without boundaries.</p><p>They believe that if a person forgives easily, that person can be harmed repeatedly. They believe a forgiving person will absorb cruelty, betrayal, humiliation, and sabotage without ever answering back.</p><p>That is not love.</p><p>That is abuse wearing the mask of opportunity.</p><p>I have lived my life believing in forgiveness. Not as a theory. Not as something I say because it sounds beautiful in public. I have lived it when it cost me something. I have forgiven people who did not deserve it. I have forgiven people who never apologized. I have forgiven people who mistook my silence for weakness and my mercy for permission.</p><p>But I have learned something very important.</p><p>Forgiveness does not mean I am required to remain available for harm.</p><p>Forgiveness does not mean I must become an eternal dumping field for another person&#8217;s insecurity, ambition, hatred, or fear.</p><p>Forgiveness does not mean I must allow someone to continue attacking my name, my work, my calling, my family, my peace, or my future.</p><p>There are people who see love as a vulnerability to exploit. They find a person who does not seek revenge and decide that person is safe to abuse. They think, &#8220;He will forgive. He will move on. He will not fight back. He will not expose what I have done.&#8221;</p><p>That is a dangerous misunderstanding.</p><p>Because love does not require me to lie about evil.</p><p>Love does not require me to protect someone else&#8217;s wrongdoing from the light.</p><p>Love does not require me to let a person destroy my reputation because they are threatened by my purpose.</p><p>And forgiveness does not erase the truth.</p><p>In my field, reputation is not decoration. It is oxygen. It is the ground under the feet of anyone who works as a public watchdog. If someone attempts to damage that reputation through traps, fraud, humiliation, manipulation, or extortion, that is not a disagreement. That is not competition. That is not professional rivalry.</p><p>That is an attack.</p><p>And when someone chooses that path, they should understand something clearly.</p><p>A forgiving person may forgive the offense. But a truthful person will still preserve the evidence.</p><p>A peaceful person may refuse revenge. But a disciplined person will still defend the mission.</p><p>A loving person may pray for the person attacking them. But a watchdog does not stop being a watchdog simply because the corruption is pointed at him.</p><p>That is where rebuke enters the picture.</p><p><strong>A rebuke is not revenge.</strong></p><p><strong>A rebuke is a boundary spoken in the language of truth.</strong></p><p>A rebuke says: I see what you are doing. I know what you attempted. I know the shape of the trap. I know the purpose behind it. I know the humiliation you wanted to create. I know the fraud you wanted to attach to me. I know the professional damage you hoped would follow.</p><p>And I am telling you now: do not continue.</p><p>Because forgiveness is not an agreement to be victimized again.</p><p>There are moments when love must turn and face the person causing harm. Not with hatred. Not with rage. Not with a desire to destroy. But with the calm fire of truth.</p><p>No more.</p><p>No more traps.</p><p>No more hidden campaigns.</p><p>No more attempts to damage a person&#8217;s name from behind the curtain.</p><p>No more using someone&#8217;s capacity to forgive as an invitation to continue abusing them.</p><p>If this behavior continues, I will not respond from bitterness. I will respond from duty.</p><p>I will document. I will preserve. I will disclose what must be disclosed. I will pursue every lawful and ethical remedy available to protect my name, my work, and the people connected to my mission.</p><p>That is not vengeance.</p><p>That is stewardship.</p><p>There is a difference between releasing hatred and surrendering responsibility. I can forgive someone before God while still refusing to let them keep swinging a blade in my direction. I can refuse revenge while still defending myself. I can love my enemies while still exposing the trap they built.</p><p>This is especially important for people who work in public life, journalism, advocacy, whistleblower support, government accountability, politics, or any field where reputation is the first target.</p><p>Some attacks are not meant to win an argument.</p><p>They are meant to remove you.</p><p>They are meant to isolate you.</p><p>They are meant to humiliate you.</p><p>They are meant to create a false record that can be used later.</p><p>They are meant to make you look unstable, unethical, desperate, compromised, or dangerous.</p><p>And when that happens, silence is not always holy.</p><p>Sometimes silence protects the abuser.</p><p>Sometimes silence allows the next trap to be built.</p><p>Sometimes silence becomes a cage.</p><p>So yes, forgive. Forgive because hatred is too expensive. Forgive because bitterness is a prison with no windows. Forgive because your soul should not become a storage room for someone else&#8217;s poison.</p><p>But do not confuse forgiveness with surrender.</p><p>Do not confuse mercy with access.</p><p>Do not confuse grace with the abandonment of wisdom.</p><p>A person can be forgiven and still lose access to you.</p><p>A person can be forgiven and still be rebuked.</p><p>A person can be forgiven and still be exposed if they continue harming others.</p><p>A person can be forgiven and still face consequences.</p><p>That is not a contradiction. That is moral order.</p><p>Love is not blind. Love sees clearly.</p><p>Love does not delight in destruction, but love does not make peace with deception either.</p><p>The great mistake some people make is believing that a loving person is defenseless. They mistake restraint for fear. They mistake patience for ignorance. They mistake forgiveness for weakness.</p><p>But sometimes the person who has not spoken is not empty-handed.</p><p>Sometimes he has simply chosen peace.</p><p>Sometimes he has simply chosen mercy.</p><p>Sometimes he has simply chosen to give the other person room to stop.</p><p>But when a person refuses to stop, when they continue setting traps, when they continue plotting damage, when they continue mistaking forgiveness for permission, the moral equation changes.</p><p>At that point, truth must come forward.</p><p>This is the third lesson in love.</p><p>Love forgives.</p><p>Love releases revenge.</p><p>Love refuses hatred.</p><p>But love also rebukes evil.</p><p>Love protects the innocent.</p><p>Love defends the mission.</p><p>Love tells the truth before another person is harmed.</p><p>So let this be advice to anyone walking through something similar.</p><p>Forgive, but keep records.</p><p>Forgive, but do not ignore patterns.</p><p>Forgive, but do not walk blindly into rooms built to trap you.</p><p>Forgive, but know when someone is using your goodness as a weapon against you.</p><p>Forgive, but do not let another person turn your name into a crime scene.</p><p>And to anyone who believes a forgiving person will never defend himself, understand this clearly:</p><p>Forgiveness is not permission.</p><p>Mercy is not weakness.</p><p>Silence is not surrender.</p><p>And love, when pushed past the boundary of truth, becomes a rebuke.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
