The Lady Odin's Lair

How many of you recall this catchy tune featured in one of Dante's Black Train videos? Sung in Japanese ... most of us just enjoyed the tune. Who of us ever looked for translations? I did. Today. And the lyrics were quite dark and supportive of D's message in that video. I'll add them below, which you can read after you've listened to this clip. I'll add a link to the video/s as well as, for those who haven't ever seen it or who want to watch it again. Tsuyoshi Nagabuchi - Black Train ( translated roughly by Google Translate ) Black Train covered in money Yesterday I became a representative. Caught bright red blood I climb the last stairs Looks like a blindfolded death row prisoner and mass media torture A train in the dark night, a severed head Wiwiwiwi The night I cried alone, being teased and trampled Wiwiwiwi Money-covered zombie Betrayal swarms through history A superficial “Say Hello!” Uprooted and bent The power to believe, love, and peace Purple swollen ...

This is a curation of a potently insightful X thread  by Benjamin Carlson that I considered important enough to archive on this site because it needs to be featured and highlighted. Enjoy. Or not. [ paraphrasing Sam E Antar ]   " As a corporate executive, I consider your humanity, ethics, and morality to be an exploitable weakness in the execution of my crimes. I am not constrained by the moral and ethical constraints that decent people impose upon themselves. The same thinking and strategy is used by terrorist organisations and their supporters. Your morals, ethics, and decency are exploited and used against you. " How do you make people join radical movements? Perhaps the best answer comes from Dostoevsky's forgotten masterpiece, Demons Sentenced to death for conspiracy, he knew the lure of radicalism—and saw the madness to come 28 insights on how brainwashing really works: 1.  Attract followers not with logic, but with raw feelings.

The way I see it, the key is CHOICE  Choice in how you store and disperse your funds You may well choose to do partial cash and digital currency, or entirely one or the other. We are not helpless or hopeless. Never allow yourself to fall into that mindset. Human genius is at its most brilliant when backed into a corner. Rebels thrive in such circumstances, and show others the way out and/or the way forward and/or the way through. There is a lot of material online pushing people towards using only digital currency, so in this post, I'm going to add some innovative ways some folks are resisting this ... including business owners.  It might take a while for this post to become fully loaded as I come across relevant memes and graphics and stories ... but here's a start ...  Then there's this ... Why should we pay cash everywhere we can       with banknotes instead of a credit card? 💳  - I have a $50 banknote in my pocket.  Going to a restaurant ...

Warning ... this post is a nauseating one of random screen-grabs of outrageous current situations. The incredibly sad thing is that there are so many to choose from! Now, I'm not going to go hunting for such examples ... I'll just wait till they drift cross my timelines. This will be a work in progress ... I'm not sure when I'll stop being astounded at the depths of depravity our world is being exposed to, or when I've had a gutful of contaminating my Lair by posting such examples in order to make a point. The point? Yeah ... there is one.  How long will you continue to remain oblivious that there is a SPIRITUAL WAR raging around you? What will it take for you to take a stand? Do you see how most attacks are on THE CHILDREN?! How do you assault your Soul by staying silent and inactive? Do you think for a moment that this bodes well for your Eternity? Think REALLY HARD before you answer that. On another note ... I should probably introduce you to the concept of the ...
