Thank you, Sandra, you've done it again - put me onto a link I might have otherwise missed.

I haven't listened to Jeff Berwick / Dollar Vigilante in a while, but he is firing on all cylinders in his latest video.

He makes a really excellent point right off the top: so many people are letting themselves get jacked up about the "40 beheaded babies" propaganda, and yet if we're really concerned about the children, it's what happens next in Gaza that matters.

As Jeff so lucidly points out: there are 2.3 million people in Gaza, and the median age is 18 years. That means there are over 1 million children in Gaza, under imminent threat from the Israelis.

We've already heard credible reports of close to 500 Gazan children dead - in this latest conflict alone. How many more have to be sacrificed before humanity comes to its senses?

Jeff also provides some hope: he doesn't pull any punches about what a mess we are in, but he points out that way more people are waking up way faster this time around, in comparing this catastrophe to 9/11 and covid.

If that's not enough to make people watch Jeff's post, it's worth a listen just to hear his new baby burbling away in the background. Happy as a lark. We can't give up on these little ones.

Once more for anyone who missed it... Jeff on bitchute:

Oh, Anne, I always love comments from you!! I woke up in such a dark mood from all that's going on, but your message made me feel a little hopeful. So glad you were able to listen to Jeff--yes, I thought he did an excellent job in that video, trying to save the children. And thanks so much for adding to the description of the video- I hope others will take the time to watch and share.

Also, I guess the reason I woke up in a dark mood, was that I listened to the video below with Max Igan--he goes over all of the history of what's going on and the crimes that have been committed against the Palestinian people:

Max Igan Balfour's Time Bomb - The Other Side of the News - 10/13/23 https://www.bitchute.com/video/mv4Kx5Iwwg1J/

And I thought this was a good, quick reminder of what the propaganda is all about:

Sandra, I totally know what you mean about waking up in a dark mood.

The problem is that we don’t always know how to pray, or how powerful our prayers can be. I think that is because we don’t understand that we are living transponders.

A transponder is something that both receives and transmits information. We “transpond” all the time – we receive information, and then we send out information – information in the form of words and ideas, but also emotions.

I’ve read that in order for a prayer to be powerful, I need to put my heart and mind into it – feelings and thoughts. If I put this together with the notion of being a transponder, something very interesting transpires.

When I write you a message on this comment forum, and you receive the message and write back to me, do you know how that happens, from a technological perspective? I certainly don’t! But that doesn’t stop either of us from using this medium, or from knowing that it will work. And that is what we experience – I send you a message, you send me a message… we don’t know *how* that happens, but we know it does.

With prayer, we don’t always get to “know” what the results or impacts our prayers might have. There is no “instant gratification” heart/like symbol to click. Nor do we necessarily understand how it all works. But that doesn’t mean that nothing happens when we pray – on the contrary, something very real indeed happens.

Because we usually don’t get to “know” what has happened after we say a prayer, we have to have *faith* that something has indeed taken place, that our message has gotten through. That’s why all the spiritual teachers from time immemorial have talked about the importance of having faith.

When I heard Jeff’s baby burbling and chortling away in the background while Jeff was discussing what is, let’s face it, a really horrific situation, I couldn’t help but laugh. The happy baby noises made me feel good. And so every time I think of the suffering of the Palestinian children, I remember the feeling Jeff’s baby gave me and I send that feeling on to the children of Palestine. That’s my way of praying for them.

I don’t “know” if it works. But I have *faith* that it does.

My husband has lined up Max Igan for us to listen to tonight. Thanks for the reminder!
