My Tractor Achtung:

A Narrative of Intuition and Insight

Achtung! The German word resonates with a sense of urgency and awareness. It means "watch out," "look out," "attention," and "careful." These words encapsulate a vigilance that's not just about caution but about being attuned to the world in a profound way.

I had a vision, an impulse, that led me to want to name my donkey Achtung when I got my farm during the COVID-19 pandemic. It wasn't a decision born of logic but of an inexplicable urge, a faith-driven compulsion. Sometimes, I feel guided by an unseen force, nudging me toward actions that only later reveal their true significance. I don't claim to be particularly intelligent, but I believe that these intuitions are part of something greater.

The phrase "Ich war hier und ich komme" – "I've been here and I'm coming" – echoes in my mind. It's a declaration, a marker of presence and impending action. I sense a connection to Germany, an intuition that something significant is on the horizon. It's a feeling that history is looping back, that the plans and powers that shaped the 20th century are still at play, subtly influencing our present and future.

I can't shake the notion that Adolf Hi**er was more than the historical figure we know – perhaps a Jewish actor with a hidden agenda, part of a larger, orchestrated scheme. The conflicts that began with World War I and II seem to persist, their roots still embedded in our everyday lives. It's as if there's a spark waiting to ignite, bringing these hidden truths to the forefront.

This might all be in my head, a product of my unique perspective. But there's a grim awareness that those in power might be pushing us towards a modern-day Armageddon. The rapid advancement of AI and robotics is replacing human roles at an alarming rate, and it's happening by our own choice, often unnoticed amidst our daily distractions.

We are stressed about trivial matters, blind to the broader, more ominous shifts occurring around us. The battle for control, the race to integrate AI into every facet of life, is accelerating. It's a testament to the unseen forces at work, guiding us toward a future that feels both inevitable and unsettling.

In this narrative, Achtung is more than a name; it's a call to awareness, a reminder to pay attention to the undercurrents of our time. It's a symbol of living through faith, of following instincts that seem irrational but may hold deeper truths. And as I stand on the precipice of this realization, I can't help but feel that I am both a witness and a participant in the unfolding story of our world.

Echoes of Justice: The German Peasant War (1524-1525)

Evening thoughts in Heykelism. Just ignore me.

The German Peasants' Revolt, known as the Peasant War, unfolded in response to oppressive feudal conditions, economic inequality, and the pursuit of justice. In 1524, peasants, much like today's farmers, sought fair treatment, representation, and a dignified life. Fast forward to the 21st century, and a parallel narrative unfolds globally as farmers, low-income families, indigenous communities, and human rights advocates WOULD BE ENCOURAGED to unite in protests against systemic challenges.

In the tapestry of history, the Peasant War of Germany (1524-1525) stands as a symbol of resilience and grassroots movements for justice, echoing in today's global farmers' protests. Back in 1524, German peasants rose against injustice, facing economic struggles, land disputes, and unfair policies as they fought for a better life.

I'm passionate about research because it allows me to draw connections between historical events and contemporary issues, empowering me to stand in solidarity with farmers in Canada and worldwide. Since the farmer protests originated in Germany, I've been motivated to learn from the mistakes of the past, particularly from the events of 1524-1525 in Germany. It's disheartening to see minimal coverage of the farmer protests on platforms like Facebook and in the news. I understand how the fear of unity and widespread support for our farmers, similar to what occurred in 1524-1525 Germany, could be discouraged by those in power. I'm curious to witness the strength of solidarity among people in supporting each other during these times.

ACHTUNG! Ich war hier und ich komme!

Leroy's Journey of Faith and Compassion

Most of my friends know that I might be a bit different in the way I think, especially after my brain operation. I have this tendency that when I get an idea or visualize something that seems like it could make a positive impact on people's well-being, even though I'm not a big fan of most folks, I can't just let it go. It's why I've always found myself drawn to charitable actions and causes.

I'm aware that one day I'll probably want to lead a more private life, even though it might not seem that way given some of the things I share. The truth is, when I do share something, it's often a bit of a mystery even to me why I'm doing it. Maybe it's because I'm wrestling with something personally or reflecting on a struggle I've faced before. But I usually share when I feel confident enough to handle it, and I'm deeply empathetic towards others who go through similar hardships because I know how tough it can be, especially when you feel isolated.

To be honest, I don't fully grasp my own complexities, so I don't expect anyone else to either. That's perhaps why I find solace in placing trust in something greater, whether you call it a higher power, a force, or an existence. It helps me make sense of things that are often hard to comprehend, actualize, or prove, and can only be embraced through a subjective perspective some might call faith.

On another note, I can't shake this persistent focus on our Indigenous communities, our homeless, and our farmers. I'm also deeply inspired by the Amish way of life. It's like I have this intuition that I'm meant to do something with my tractor, Leroy. Leroy came into my life as more of a gift from amazing friends than an ordinary purchase. In many ways, it's symbolic of many things I have that aren't truly mine but tools to do good with, reflecting my sometimes quirky thought process.

Believe it or not, I have a somewhat peculiar but clear notion of what I'm supposed to do with Leroy. It might sound a bit offbeat, but I'm eager to share Leroy's journey with anyone who's interested, even if it's just the handful of friends that I actually have, and of course my family I'm finally reconnecting wishing I would have done sooner. I know they know I'm not playin..hehehe... Leroy is going to start his own social media presence, sharing his journey and objectives as time goes on.

I'm genuinely curious to see where Leroy leads me.

MY FARM.

New Year, New Commitment: Taking My Vision to the public.

My friends are pretty up to speed about my farm situation.

I've always had this idea about changing the homelessness situation through sustainable farming. I picture a world where we do more than just offer temporary shelters and medication in dealing with homelessness and societal trauma aka mental illness. Instead, empower people with real work and the ability to stand on their own developing a sense of self-fulfilling and measurable purpose in people's lives. That’s why I started CONNECTIONS2 M (meaningful) O (occupation) INC. The idea is really basic, def not something new at all. Just tired of talkin and wanna help get things moving - Set up community farms that give “homeless people” not just a place to stay but a whole new way of living. We’re talking about giving land, tools, and teaching how to farm. People could grow their food, maybe even medicine, and take care of animals. Reducing the dependency on social services. This is bigger than farming – we’re supporting mental health, helping people get back into the community, and learning new skills, all while being eco-friendly. I keep wondering, why isn’t this idea catching on more in Canada and becoming a reality?

You probably heard that during COVID, I put money into a farm. I had a tough choice: keep my fitness club open or shut it down – it had only been officially open for two months before COVID hit. I saw a chance to blend my fitness goals with helping the homeless. I partnered with someone I thought shared my vision, but it turned out differently. Now, I’m caught in a legal mess over the farm, but I'm not letting that stop me.

Even though I run two companies, I've chosen a different way of living. Instead of buying a house or renting an apartment, I’m living out of my offices and my truck. I've turned my vehicles into what I call mobile homeless shelters. It's not your typical setup, but it shows how serious I am about this.

The farm is more than just a piece of land to me; it embodies my dream of not just aiding the homeless but also bringing forward ideas that have been overlooked (or intentionally ignored). I aim to contribute by raising awareness to solutions that offer real, lasting change.

Sure, my current way of living is unconventional...but, hello...hehehe.. it's what keeps me grounded, focused. Every night, wherever I end up sleeping, I'm reminded of why I'm doing this and what I'm ready to sacrifice. The challenges, i wanna say are tough just to sound like a drama queen, but i live for this shizney and there’s no backing down. I’m going to find land and keep working on my plan to raise awareness in building a sustainable community for the homeless.

Determined. Committed - sticking to this path until my vision comes true.

Reflections on Self-Defense in Canada: My Research in the Wake of Potential War.

Today, I found myself contemplating a sobering question: In the event of war, what are my rights and capabilities for self-defense as a Canadian citizen? After some thorough research, I've gathered insights into our nation's legal framework regarding this matter, governed primarily by Sections 34 and 35 of the Criminal Code. These laws, while offering guidance, also present a complex landscape that varies with each unique case.

Key Tenets of Self-Defense Under Canadian Law

1. Reasonable Fear of Harm:

The foundation of self-defense is the presence of a reasonable fear of immediate death or severe bodily harm. This fear must be justifiable and credible under the circumstances.

2. Purpose of Defense:

Any defensive action must be motivated by the intent to protect oneself or others from an actual or perceived threat of force. This principle underscores the importance of the purpose behind one’s actions in the eyes of the law.

3. Reasonableness of Force:

The force exerted in self-defense should be appropriate to the level of threat encountered. This involves assessing the immediate nature of the threat, alternative responses available, the roles of the individuals involved, usage or threat of weapons, and the physical characteristics of all parties.

4. Proportionality:

A crucial aspect of lawful self-defense is ensuring the response is proportionate to the threat. Disproportionate responses, such as using lethal force against an unarmed minor, are likely to be deemed unreasonable.

5. Self-Defense of Property:

Canadian law permits defending one’s property under specific conditions. This is justified if one reasonably believes they have peaceful possession of the property and that there is an imminent, unlawful threat to it.

The Grey Zone of "Reasonable Force"

One must be mindful that the term "reasonable force" is subject to interpretation and legal analysis, varying significantly based on the situation at hand.

In these times of uncertainty, understanding the legal confines of self-defense is crucial. It’s about being prepared, making informed decisions, and ensuring that our actions remain within the legal boundaries. For anyone facing a situation where self-defense is claimed, it is highly recommended to seek legal advice to navigate the complexities of the law.

In conclusion, as Canadians, we have certain rights to protect ourselves, but these rights come with responsibilities and a need for careful judgment. Stay informed and stay legally safe.

"Preserving Indigenous Wisdom: Navigating Economic Turmoil and Protecting the Land"

I identify as a fu***ng re**rd with no education in the political field and not sure why s**t like this consumes my brain, however.

Lately, I've grappled with an insistent, almost obsessive feeling that's hard to explain. It's as if the spirit of Indigenous heritage has enveloped me, pulling me in with an unwavering call. It might be linked to disillusionment or the lasting impact of participating in sweat lodge ceremonies during my time in prison. In those moments, I sat in healing circles with fellow inmates who initially felt disconnected. However, through shared experiences and traditional practices, we found a deep reconnection and unity that went beyond our individual challenges.

Now that I'm out of prison, navigating a world that often feels deceitful, cold, and driven by a malicious corporate system, I find myself irresistibly drawn to Indigenous communities. I see them as beacons of hope in these challenging times, facing unique opportunities that might not come again. It's crucial for the rest of Canada to understand that the financially disadvantaged and Indigenous people should never bear the blame for economic downturns. Our country's reliance on foreign resources leaves us vulnerable and could lead to encroachments on Indigenous lands and treaties, potentially sparking conflicts. It's the marginalized, including Indigenous and impoverished groups, who often unjustly shoulder the blame from affluent entities seeking to protect their own interests, regardless of the human cost.

In contemplating a new global paradigm (“world order”), the puzzling absence of Indigenous perspectives and ancestral wisdom is striking. Indigenous cultures have historically thrived by living in harmony with nature, offering invaluable lessons for a sustainable future.

This complex situation involves various stakeholders, including those benefiting from the current economic system. While political leaders like Trudeau may face criticism, some view his efforts to maintain national harmony as essential, especially when compared to leaders like Trump, seemingly driven solely by wealth accumulation and potentially misleading those less privileged.
Disturbingly, there's a risk that some leaders may compromise Indigenous rights for economic gain, which could escalate to conflicts wrongly labeled as terrorism. Preventing such scenarios is crucial for maintaining peace. However, there's also the concern that this might result in a militarized system favoring the affluent over the needs and rights of the general population.

The real threats often come from those with power and financial influence, skillfully diverting attention away from their roles in impending crises. I firmly believe that hope resides in the wisdom and heritage of Indigenous communities, and I am prepared to support those who are dedicated to preserving the land. However, my observations suggest a lack of organized unity within the community, which can pose challenges for effective support. If I possessed a voice capable of inspiring and accomplishing what needs to be done, I would propose and passionately advocate for the following actions.

1. Embrace a unified Indigenous language to strengthen national identity.

2. Tackle drug-related issues within Indigenous areas, fostering community rebuilding and preventing external exploitation.

3. Exercise control over entry into Indigenous lands to limit outside influences.

4. Revitalize and pass down traditional practices, aiding in both the healing of the land and its people.

5. Encourage farming and responsible land stewardship for food security and independence.

6. Cultivate a new generation of protectors devoted to safeguarding the land and vital resources like WATER.

This moment may be the best opportunity, and it might not come again.

I believe that empowering Indigenous communities through these measures will help you reclaim your heritage and fortify your role in shaping a sustainable future. In doing so, we may find an alternative to the confines of our current corporate society, preserving our humanity and the planet we call home.

"The beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived."

Moving from one dysfunctional system to another, it feels like an endless loop of dysfunction. Regardless of the system, it appears plagued with issues.

The metaphorical "sword," symbolizing truth, has wounded our systems. Yet, as humans, we often avoid confronting inconvenient truths.

The ongoing situation in Palestine, vividly portrayed through social media, mirrors a global struggle for human rights, encompassing the less fortunate and the ruling classes. Those in conflicts, be they Palestinian, Indigenous dwellers or Israeli, are not inherently terrorists; they are individuals fighting for beliefs and homeland, akin to warriors defending what they hold dear. Every holocaust or genocide was committed by those who legally possessed weapons against those who did not. True terrorists are those financing and fueling conflicts, producing weapons and drugs, spreading propaganda through media. Hidden in well-furnished tunnels and caves, they prioritize personal wealth over equality, perpetuating injustice for generations.

Who are they? Kings, rulers, modern-day dictators—the so-called "ruling class" conveniently placing themselves on pedestals. They manipulate the belief that we elect representatives, when, in reality, we elect a distribution of wealth benefiting them, contradicting the verse: "Let the least amongst you be the greatest and the greatest the least." These supposed leaders dub themselves great, yet their greatness contributes little. We, the common people, unwittingly volunteer for a role resembling slavery, sacrificing our freedom for their gain.

Why persist in entertaining the belief that "THEY" are great? It's a cycle of willingly submitting to servitude. I've never given them authority, nor will I surrender my freedom for their benefit. What twisted system have we embraced that diminishes our existence for their gain? It's time to wake up!

The disheartening truth is that the only way to fix this broken system seems to be wiping it out, explaining the obsession with nuclear weapons. "They" aren't playing games; it's in progress. Are we doing it now, or are we postponing the inevitable? We, the next Palestinians, starting with the indigenous and the impoverished, are on the frontline while we find comfort in the inevitable being postponed. Initially voluntary and comforted by the disillusionment of peace discreetly terminating our freedoms, while replacing our existence with artificial or anti-human/Christ like life, it will worsen with time through our consent. I implore you to wake up. I address those I care about because, truth be told, I don't have much love for humanity; So, in fact, I'm even open to the idea of being among those who usher in AI life forms, considering the unreliability of humans and the potential for a collaborative future with these beings. There appears to be an indifference toward the legacy we're leaving for future generations, rooted in present comfort. I worry that those I care about might not be ready for what lies ahead, particularly the essential upheaval and challenges that come with transitioning from the old dysfunctional system to the new one.

Hopefully, I'm full of s**t, just like this system and those manipulating it. Really, Who the f**k are they? But then again… who the f**k am I?

I AM WHO I AM.
