Every one of us has walked our own unique path of awakening to what’s really happening in our world.

Some have been awake for years or even decades. Bravo, friends.

Some woke up during the season when Q first appeared in 2017.

And with each election cycle, more and more eyes have opened as anticipated election outcomes didn’t happen the way we thought they would.

For you newer members of that growing family, I want to comfort, strengthen, and encourage you with some tough things I’ve had to learn myself.

• YOU are NOT crazy. What’s happening is crazy. The people who are causing crazy things to happen are crazy.
• Evil is real. The enemy of our souls is alive and active in this world in unimaginable ways. Evil has taken over many men’s souls. And through them, Evil has infiltrated every institution we trusted.
• TRUST GOD. We are in an incredible time in history where a war of Good versus Evil rages. God is using His people to fight Evil in a battle for our families, our country, our world, our very souls. And guess what? GOD HAS ALREADY WON THE FIGHT. Keep your eyes on Him, patriot; He won’t disappoint! We KNOW how this story ends!
• It’s totally normal to question everything you were ever taught. Just don’t be surprised to learn that some of it wasn’t true.
• Your critical thinking has started to come back! Keep sharpening that skill. Keep learning!
• Be kind to yourself about the years you spent asleep. You couldn’t have prevented it because you didn’t know it was happening.
• Be kind to yourself as you continue to learn what’s happening. It’s more complex than we can possibly understand, so work hard to keep yourself on an even keel, instead of allowing high highs and low lows. You and all those around you will benefit from that effort.
• Be kind to others who are slow to wake up. Remember how it felt when the light bulbs started to go on in your own life; it wasn’t easy. Have compassion and patience with them. Encourage them. Love them through it.
• You are not alone. WE ARE THE MAJORITY.

I want to tell you my personal awakening story in the hope that it will encourage some of our newer family members.

My awakening began in December 2019 when I was listening to WarRoom: Impeachment. Steve Bannon is beloved by the people of Mainland China for his ferocity toward their slave masters, the evil Chinese Communist Party (CCP.)

In December 2019, Steve talked about a virus that had shut down the Chinese city of Wuhan in Hubei province. I hadn’t heard of “Wuhan” or “Hubei” before then. The folks on his show speculated that the virus would probably spread.

There wasn’t panic. But there was definitely concern and caution in the voices of those who were sharing the story of what would become “Covid-19.” They were very serious when they talked about it.

Something didn’t feel right.

It didn’t merely scare me. It moved me to action.

I beat most of you to “prep shopping.” I went to Costco on January 24, 2020, bought $600+ worth of food and staples (yes, including toilet paper,) and as the cashier was processing my flatbed cart, she made conversation by asking, “Having a party?”

“Kind of,” I responded.

When I got home, I unloaded my packed-to-the-gills SUV and put most of what I bought into our garage. When my hubby came home, he walked into the house through the garage and asked, “Are you building a bunker next?”

Our eyes were beginning to open.

The virus hit. Planes stopped. The lockdown happened. Businesses closed. Isolation brought the world to a standstill.

But something happened during the lockdown. I had time on my hands. So I started to dig.

And Evil began to reveal itself.

Could the virus have been man-made? What did “gain of function” mean and why would anyone be crazy enough to use that? How was the virus transmitted? Could masks stop it?

Could I believe what the government was telling me?

I started to question EVERYTHING.

Something didn’t feel right.

I spent my career in the mainstream media. Why did they hate Trump so much? They loved him when he was just a billionaire on The Apprentice. What had changed? Why did they criticize hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin when he mentioned them? Their reaction, to me, was WAY over the top. After all, those two meds were listed on the World Health Organization’s list of “essential medicines.” When I figured out that both meds were inexpensive and effective in fighting many diseases, my Spidey senses went off. They were trying to keep a lid on that info by demonizing it.

Could it be that they didn’t want people to know about them because Big Pharma couldn’t make money on them?

THAT couldn’t be right, could it? Ugh.

Who was Anthony Fauci and could I/should I believe him? I dug. I learned that he and Deborah Birx were major figures of the AIDS epidemic back in the day.

Then censorship started to happen. Many of the people I followed on various platforms were “canceled” without notice. On YouTube, creators who had worked so hard to create communities and income were cut off at the knees. This was the United States of America. What had happened to our Bill of Rights and freedom of speech?

Something didn’t feel right.

Then I started to learn about the REALLY crazy stuff. Transhumanism. Child sex trafficking. Critical race theory. Gender confusion. MK Ultra. Satanism.

The list goes on. My head was swimming with disparate pieces of information. I couldn’t make sense of it all. I felt overwhelmed.

But I stayed the course. I kept asking God to give me discernment about the patriots I followed on Telegram and Rumble, the ones I was learning from, my teachers. I quickly came to understand that those who worked to divide the patriot community or started selling “Trump coins” weren’t the real deal. It just took a simple click to Unfollow.

My list of who I follow continues to evolve to this day. Learning from different voices is wise. But pray for discernment!

Then the 2020 election happened, with all the ensuing chaos. Not too long into 2021, we all started wondering if 2021 would be WORSE than 2020. All bets were off.

Something didn’t feel right.

When Operation Warp Speed brought vaccines to market, why in the world was there so much PRESSURE on everyone to get vaxxed? Was the agenda to keep people safe, or to make money?

Why was my hubby’s company, that he loved so much, threatening to fire him if he didn’t get vaxxed? What happened to informed consent? He got fired. I started to dig into Nuremberg.

Something didn’t feel right.

And then, in October 2020, I remembered something President Trump had said in May 2020. At the time I heard it, it didn’t make sense to me. But all of a sudden it did.

“We went through the worst attack we’ve ever had in our country. This is really the worst attack we’ve ever had. This is worse than Pearl Harbor. This is worse than the World Trade Center,” Trump said while signing a proclamation in the Oval Office in honor of National Nurses Day. “There’s never been an attack like this. And it never should have happened,” Trump continued. “It could’ve been stopped at the source, it should’ve been stopped at the source. It should’ve been stopped in China.”

It had taken me ALL that time to FINALLY understand that we were in the midst of World War III. 

Holy crap.

But if we were in a war, WHO WAS THE ENEMY? Trump had talked about the “invisible enemy” thousands of times during his presidency—but was he talking about the virus or the Chinese Communist Party?

Suddenly all those diverse pieces of information seemed to have their place in the world.

I went to work. I’ve been making lists since I was in the womb, so I started to make lists and categorize all those individual pieces of info that had bubbled up into my consciousness over those months of lockdown.

And things started to come into focus.

Who is the enemy? I couldn’t nail down just ONE because they’re ALL connected. I called them, “The Cabal/Globalists/Illuminati/Freemasons/World Economic Forum.”

What is their agenda?

• Eugenics/Depopulation (Yes, they want to kill us; see the Georgia Guidestones)
• Transhumanism
• Centralized economic/political control and power
• Slavery system

How are they doing it? I identified six “big buckets” into which I started to load some of those free-floating puzzle pieces. The buckets?

• Central Banks
• Big Pharma/Big Med
• Big Tech
• Mind Control
• Military/Defense
• Corruption

I clawed my way back to sanity by creating this visual on October 6, 2021. You can see from this chart where I placed the various puzzle pieces. And I’m a solutions-oriented girl. I don’t like to just talk about problems without solutions. So you’ll see from the chart that I also spitballed some of those. I hope sharing this will help someone be able to make better sense of what’s happening in the world.

As time went on, there were so many more things that I could have added to this chart. But I didn’t need to. Working through the process of creating it brought me back to sanity with so much more understanding of what we’re up against.

I hope it’s helpful to someone. Feel free to share it.

If you’re one of the newest additions to our patriot family, I want to suggest a few videos that were very critical to my learning curve:

• The Great Awakening by Bonfire Guy
• “The Great Reset” Is Happening NOW with Catherine Austin Fitts
• OUT OF THE SHADOWS OFFICIAL DOCUMENTARY. FULL
• PART 1 OF A 10-PARTS SERIES ABOUT THE FALL OF THE CABAL BY JANET OSSEBAARD

As for one final bit of wisdom:

If you’re not the praying type yet, I want to encourage you to start talking to God. He’s a great listener.

Because it’s going to get hard. Very hard.

That said, remember that you have done hard things before. Many hard things.

It’s also going to get scary. Very scary.

Whenever I feel fear start to creep into my soul, I lean right into one of my favorite scriptures from 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of POWER and of LOVE and of a SOUND MIND.”

One of the most important parts of that scripture to me is a question.

If God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, who did?

I believe that the enemy of our souls, the devil, is the one who plants fear in our minds and our souls. It’s a tool that he uses to control us, to distract us, to derail us from the things of God.

So reject it, and lean into God’s promises.

God has given you POWER.

God has given you LOVE.

God has given you a SOUND MIND.

And from 2 Chronicles 7:14: “If my people, who are called by my name, will HUMBLE THEMSELVES and PRAY and SEEK MY FACE and TURN FROM THEIR WICKED WAYS, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”

If God is for us, friend, then who can be against us?
