Dear VCC Community, There is no doubt that humanity is in danger. What has become clear in the last three years is that we are in the struggle of our lives against state sponsored actions to destroy community, abolish rights and impose authoritarian control. Any illusion that our governments, medical, judicial and media were acting in our best interests came crashing down when governments gave emergency use authorization to deadly injections, mandated these injections, and
ignored the casualties. Public Health and mainstream media knowingly lied to us, judges supported their lies, and police and military enforced their lies. This is not the first time in history that humanity has been convinced that it is for ‘the greater good’ to harm, even kill others. Nazi Germany, Rwanda, Syria, apartheid, slavery, and the genocide of our First Nations people globally to name a few. It seems humans have a propensity to being manipulated into participating in these crimes. Mattias Desmet named it ‘mass formation psychosis’ - a severe mental disorder in which thought and emotions are so impaired that contact is lost with external
reality. What gives me reason for hope is that each time humanity found a way out of the psychosis and reclaimed their dignity and decency for their fellow man. But this return to dignity didn’t come from complying with the tyranny. In each case forces rose up to battle the evil by putting their own lives at risk so future generations could live in freedom. We are at that place again. We must be vigilant in not complying with evil because it is easy, or convenient, or because we are afraid for our own lives. This is a time for courage, discernment, sacrifice and being willing to ‘die with our boots on’. What nourishes me are the beautiful souls we meet along this path. How else would we have met people like Drs. Trozzi, Phillips, Hoffe, Malthouse, Bridle, Pellech, Wakefield and others? How else would we have known moms and grandmothers like Tamara Lich and Christine Colebeck? How else would we have had the opportunity to stand tall in the face of adversity and demonstrate our moral courage like Shawn Buckley? Or leadership like that of RFK Jr? From that perspective, this has been a remarkable time. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing all of you on the front lines. In gratitude,
Ted |
