WW-Wtf Dark to Light 🐢🏝️ 12/22/25

My time off from the Obamacare hamster wheel is turning out to be a little longer than anticipated, but it makes for a very special holiday season and time of reflection, diving into current events like the Colorado wing of the elite global mafia Deep State and their persecution of Tina Peters, needed housekeeping, actual rest and recreation. I finally got the office desk clean. Perhaps I'll avoid any civil unrest that may be brewing in the county seat where I've been working up to just a few weeks ago. 

My boss could no longer afford a nurse and has to go back to hiring a medical assistant that is paid just slightly above minimum wage. She wrote me a very nice letter of recommendation. We were having trouble like everyone else getting insurance reimbursements, and cost of doing business is going up for everyone in Libtardia. She was also robbed out of at least a thousand dollars a few months ago in a complex scam. Times are getting tight and weird. I may have to work as a glorified medical aid close to home in order to keep my head above water, not work 12-16 hour shifts or whatever the new normal is on the floor now. It was bad when I left skilled nursing, and they may have normalized the 20 hour workday by now. 

I've started the application process for positions that make sense, but there's a great deal of competition for these few spots. This area is just a notch above rural, and word travels. While I do have a good work history and rapport, I am also a heretic to the vaxxine orthodoxy and a deplorable MAGA Republican. I don’t do a lot to hide these things. It may take another decade before the collective reckoning has finished righting the massive wrongs done in the name of $cience and “democracy”. 

I’ve often thought palliative care might be a good place to finish my allopathic nursing career. Helping people die is what allopathic medicine does best currently, there is a need for people who can do this kind of work well, and I can. I have belief in afterlife and holistic approach that is sorely needed in every situation but especially end-of-life care. Yet I’m hesitant, knowing about their 12 hour shifts which easily turn into 16 hour shifts at least once a month if not more frequently. Only the nurse-to-patient ratio is a little better than what I experienced at the SNF, but they may also be just as stretched and demanding the impossible. I also know the clot shots are taking their toll on the pool of qualified nurses. I’m one of a small percentage of nurses who said no. We’ll win in the end, and we’re just beginning to experience some validation, but who knows when the mass hysteria truly ends and evil people who authorized this nightmare are rounded up in a public justice phase. 

Travel nursing companies seem to have an abundance of openings, and they are paying very well, but it would take me away from home. I suspect it’s a kind of honey pot. The contracts are difficult to read and come with all kinds of catches, also likely involve working 12-16 hour shifts. I watched travel staff coworkers endure all kinds of shenanigans over the years. It works well if you can find a ethical employer, have a motor home and family that can travel with, but I don't. All I can do is pray and collect unemployment until something realistic comes up. 

I always hoped there would be more telehealth opportunities or practices opening up. I hear and read about small outfits doing exciting things with repurposed medications, health coaching and polypharmacy reduction, but these telehealth clinics are led by good doctors and teams of nurse practitioners getting privately paid. I think of the people using ivermectin gel on skin cancer and things like that. Insurance barely pays for conventional things, and that's only after a long drawn out prior authorization process. They definitely won't pay for health coaching or unconventional cancer treatments that actually work and might undermine their machine. 

It took about 30 years for the standardized practice of routine hand-washing with soap in between patients to be implemented in medical facilities in the 1800s. This wasn't codified here in the US until 1970-something. There are a few other historical examples like this I can come up with that demonstrate how the industry of healthcare slow-walks any real progress. It is dysfunctional to a point that is literally criminal negligence, even sadistic. This has a lot to do with this industry being captured by a morbidly wealthy family that positioned itself into oligarch status after our constitution republic was corporatized over a hundred years ago. I know the Trump Administration is working on cleaning this up, but it may take another 10 or 20 years before we have significant change like a moratorium on the childhood vaccine schedule. Public standing up to this outrageous wrongdoing needs to happen before authorities add another 585 “safe and effective” injections to the childhood vaccine schedule, leading to 9/10 children dead by the age of 12, mysteriously and coincidentally, of course. The Hep B vax was just removed, and the COVID mRNA "vaccines" will soon have black box warnings. These two modest measures have led to such an uproar, however, we'll likely see more hysterical theatrics and foot-dragging the industry is notorious for. I listened to one person screeching the usual, billions will die, etc. I have no patience for these serial liars or their cult adherents. 

This break, as difficult financially as it is right now in the State of Commiefornia where we won't see a reduction in cost of living until The Swamp is drained and sanitized, is still welcome and for so many reasons. Reason number one being to avoid the continuing mass psychosis in healthcare settings where the smart ones are often quiet as there is no use in trying to reason with the deranged. I’ve learned to be careful with how I present my thoughts and to whom. I will have to go back to it soon enough, but the break was so needed.

It's been years since I could just sit down with my ukulele and significantly improve fingering techniques. The last time I could do this was when I was on vacation in Hawaii 4 years ago. This last week was spent working on sourdough recipes, but I think tomorrow I'll work on Christmas music practice. I feel drawn to take the electrified ukulele to the nursing home and play them some Christmas music. This was a promise I made to one of the residents years ago, but I was exhausted at that time. I can no longer say that I'm exhausted, and after a few months of playing with the worship team at church, I've become much more confident playing for others. It's always been a therapeutic tool. Some days I wake up discouraged and grumbly about how long this war is taking, and how bizarre the news has become. The latest WW-WTF Headline is The Turtle Island Liberation Front. Yesterday I was just repeating that headline with occasional thoughts about the Franklin Turtle controversy until I couldn't stop laughing. The hysterical laughing ended with tears and then a strange dissociative apathy. I kept telling myself this has to be more psy war waged by the military's secret undercover army (See https://www.newsweek.com/exclusive-inside-militarys-secret-undercover-army-1591881)? I'm not the target audience, I have to keep reassuring myself, but then my mind returned to the possibility, given that this headline did sprout from a Southern Commiefornia college campus and is so ghey that it might be real. Anyway, I concluded the day resolving to take a break from the "news" and work on more therapeutic activities, but this has been difficult. Even my phone’s VPN interference with internet, leading to hours of troubleshooting with tech support could not keep me from eventually solving the problem and binging on news again.

There has been so much good news too. Precious metals prices are starting to climb again, and I think something very special happens when the price of silver breaks $70/ounce. It’s so close. Trump keeps talking about ending income tax; then he made moves that signal Federal decriminalization of marijuana should happen if ever we get true representation in our House of Representatives. Again, it could be another 10-20 years following removal of the Smartmatic/Dominion selection machines. The move from Schedule I to III classification for controlled substances was still big and long overdue. We also just got super exciting news about Trump’s media group merging with a nuclear fusion project?! I was hoping for cold fusion but that may require another 10-20 years to see. The Epstein disclosure is again spilling out with Israel’s Deep State under scrutiny, thanks to months of frustrating reverse psychology and other compelling drama between social media personalities, mostly regarding the lingering questions surrounding the Charlie Kirk assassination. All of this nonsense acts like a crowbar, causing people to observe and question. ICE continues to deport people who came through our borders illegally, and the left/right divide & conquer paradigm continues to be highlighted with terms like Suicidal Empathy used in podcast discussions. Trans culture continues to wreak of horrid demonic stench at worst, untreated mental illness at best. While some of this news is disturbing and may even be fake, I am reassured that the Overton Window is widening, lengthening, and getting a thorough window-washing.

Lastly, and most importantly as I prepare to publish today, I need to take a moment to write on the best news of all, and that is Jesus returning in our hearts today through the power of the Holy Spirit if we only ask. Some day we may truly see a more multi-sensory arrival back on Earth, but until that time we can feel His presence today.  My time off has given me peace and quiet to really get in touch with Holy Spirit, pray and read scripture. It has provided so much peace, reassurance and comfort during what could otherwise be a very challenging time. For instance, I have no money for Christmas presents this year. Normally I’m collecting presents all year long, but I took a cut in pay working at the nephrology clinic during late 2024 through most of 2025. While a large swath of the US started to experience financial relief, not California. Cost of living has stayed high, while taxes and other burdensome over-regulation have made small business next to impossible. Last year right after hire the other staff person and I received bonuses right before Christmas. I was counting on that happening again this year for Christmas money, but instead, I was let go.  

For years I’ve complained about the mercantilization of Christmas and other Holy Days, but this year I’m truly experiencing Christmas in a very humble way for the first time as an adult. Rereading over the original Christmas story has grounded me and also had me realize that I could either let my current circumstances sink my spirit deep into depression or I can let them take me to a place of humble acceptance and wonder. Right now I’m wondering if our recent flood waters will recede, allowing me to get to a planned in-person interview tomorrow. If it happens, great. If not, I trust Jesus will still be there.
