I completely enjoyed this story. It was so much easier to follow in this format and my inner child relished it😊 For years, since the O’bama admin, I thought Prof Cohen was the voice in the wilderness calling out some kind of lie on the drummed up Ukraine story. It wasn’t like there was a good guy anywhere in the story, but the bad guys were more plentiful than the imbecile press put about. Like what country let’s their adversary surround them and cut them off from the sea for oil export? No one does that. And, then came the first impeachment and I learn that JB park ranger in training did the quid pro quo extortion and not the Orange Man — and he bragged on tape too. I went through a kind of mini ocd period trying to understand what my gut was trying to tell me about the lies being deeper and more multi faceted and consequential than usual. Like it was a longer story than met the eye on a past to future axis. So your tale feels just right to the tummy, but it seems like an explanation of 2013 events might aid. Was there a triggering event? Is it just the habit of poking the bear and this was another episode. Was it starting a fish bidding war for the favor of the ranger’s son. Seems like payoffs came to incarnations of the ranger from both the Comic turf and the Bear turf. Are the orthodox churches involved? There is still something unclear and it seems urgent. Is it an excuse for lining up all the Revelation players against the Park Ranger? (I expect you don’t entertain that scenario but I look for that Shadowplay). Is it the party of Davos kneecapping the Ranger? Thanks for the story so far.

Prof Cohen was great. The timing of his passing was a bit suspicious given the increased heat on things the past year, the election of 2020 and now all the war hawks waiting since 2016 to light the fires again. As I said, this was my first allegory but you have a lot of great questions to consider there, almost too difficult for a simple allegory. A more experienced hand could manage. But yes so many players on that regional chessboard and it often feels like the park ranger just plays checkers. (Sorry I replied to you earlier with a reader account.)

I appreciate your reply very much. This was a fine allegory and me thinks a seriel is good to extend this. Plus you don’t have to wrangle those tough names one you do the first parenthetical note. Am all ears too for crypto info as this is now becoming even more Byzantine — like the Feds just got this couple coincident with Trudeau’s move and the bankster’s nationalization faint. Your mind and brilliance is needed now as we have to figure out what populism can look like.

I appreciate your comments. Those are kind words. Maple regime seizing bank accounts of people who post their support of the convoy on social media now. Full N. korea. I would like to say crypto fixes this but only if one goes all in and can then find merchants online who accept crypto which shouldn't be that difficult. Maybe a combo of cash under the mattress (or in liberty fatboy), crypto and metals would be a wise balance. But many don't have the stomach for it. can be risky and hard to tolerate with the wild hormonal swings of her teenage growth years. The urgency to necessitate its adoption more broadly is going to accelerate now and we have Fidel Jr. and his spastic sidekick freakland to thank for that. Wherever they overreach the people will respond accordingly. Silver crypto lining.

Addendum: You timing is just right on putting out this story amidst all the others because these stories are all related to the forces of Mordor moving and the hobbits’ journey. It’s a big Map and we don’t yet know what part each character will play in the unfolding of the story. Help comes in unexpected ways. Thank Heaven.

Thanks. It feels off in timing given the Canadian madness and covax horrors. I got my start here documenting all that but like you say there's so much more going on in the world that's connected and it seems like were made to look in one direction while the slight of hands are happening somewhere else entirely.
