LOL at the poem. I posted it on @cotton88's blog recently.

I can appreciate your distress at knowing what's ongoing. OTOH, not knowing what's being done to you doesn't stop it from happening. It just keeps you from being able to take action to protect yourself. The point of knowing is that you are then able to take informed action. The proper course of philosophy is action (can't remember who I'm quoting here), though I will paraphrase Nietzsche and say to throw caution to the wind because no matter what you do you will lose everything in the end. Nothing can secure you from that eventuality.

Regarding Ohio train derailment, S. Carolina and Texas seem not to want to be outdone. While I haven't reckoned the statistical odds (I suspect it's not particularly improbable) these derailments feel like the burning food production facilities last year, eggs this year, and now balloons/ufos being shot down.

Hopefully burning the vinyl chloride saved many lives, rather than letting it seep into the groundwater, but aerosolizing it strikes me as just giving the unburned fraction of it more range more quickly. While the media regionally is claimed to be saying 'the air is fine, the water is fine', people are posting pics of their dead chickens and of 300x increases in the chemical content of their water. After the last few decades of the media serially proving nothing they say can be trusted, Imma believe rando's on Twatter, because at least they're not proved liars.

Just so you know, there's a single point of failure all overlords, tyrants, and governments are susceptible to. All of them are parasitic. None of these people make something in their garage themselves that makes them rich. They only get a cut of the production of others, and that's how they get their wealth and power. That means that all we have to do to eliminate their wealth and power is not let them get a cut of our production. Just keep what you make. It's really that simple.

Almost miraculously, decentralization of the means of production of the modern goods and services that create the blessings of civilization are the cutting edge of every single field of industry today, bar none. It has long been said that the best definition of wealth is independent means, and that's exactly what seizing the decentralized means of production best suited to your personal circumstances provides. That and freedom.

Seize the means of production today, and eliminate parasitic losses of your production, while eliminating the useless eaters that can only be parasites, and build the paradise our beloved posterity will inherit from us. I know you are doing that in the financial markets, by sinking all your funds into cryptocurrencies, but money isn't wealth, not even crypto. Consider producing eggs, some veg, maybe getting a 3D printer and making all the little repair pieces to maintain your possessions, and even make stuff, like the <a href=https://odysee.com/@3DPrint:1/HoffmanTactical:1">Orca, rather than buying new stuff to break. Get diversified and don't just have all your investments in one industry: finance.

I hope I'm preaching to the choir, my friend, and you're way ahead of me.

Thanks!
