Remember Why We Left: Corona Virus Update

Siblings and I, pushing even our shadows into a future we wish to live in I haven't been purposely silent on the coronavirus. Though, in all honesty, I've actually been quite loud about my opinions. For some reason, they just haven't made it to my blog ... until now. At first, I laughed. It's not that I never believed what was happening ... I just never expected the paranoia to actually become so organized. Even up unto my last days in Germany, it was just a joke. I had bigger stresses, and the virus was amusing. But then ... the borders were closed two days before I flew home and it dawned on me.  This wasn't just any normal virus. People were freaking, and it was going to affect me in ways I didn't like at all. I made it home ... but the home wasn't as I'd left it. My own family were still sensible, as were many of my friends. But, oh, the fear in America was toxic and heavy. My cleaning business pretty much died. I received many messages a...

Inside The Land Of The Free

Hello. My name is Greg.  I have a lot of time to think. Too much time. Sometimes I think about my life - why I am sitting in prison. I wonder what I could have done different - my life plays before my eyes. "If only..." But even I know that no amount of good works would have stopped tyranny from finding fault with me. It is cold. My clothes are thin. My stomach is empty - occasionally filled with food of no sustenance.  I hide my face in my knees - as if that will somehow protect me from the horrors of this dark cold dungeon.  They keep it cold to freeze me, this I know.

How many years have I sat in here? I have forgot. All I know is this question, "Was I fated for this? Did God g...

Patriotism: Conspiracies or Truths?

There are always all sorts of conspiracy theories out there. All sorts of "false" truths. But despite all the multiple conspiracy theories, does that mean that bad things aren't actually happening? That's what some people say about what has been happening in Nevada, Oregon, Montana, and surrounding states. It isn't real. One side says that their rights are being taken away from them. Yet many claim nothing is happening - it's all the imagination. Or that these people in question are terrorists. Either way - the story isn't getting much publicity. It's being ignored by the media. What exactly is happening? Some of us want to know. I want to know. It is said... People are being put in jail and/ or shot at. One man, Levoy Finicum , has been shot. The Hammond family is in prison for starting a back-fire with out permits. The Bundy family is facing prison time because they got involved with the Hammonds. Before hand, the federal gov...
