Wokeism: Invasion of the Body Snatchers
More and more people are changing; they are being replaced by something alien. On the outside they look the same, yet on the inside they are not. They have been taken over by an alien entity (cult) called wokeism. It’s an ideology that takes over individuals, replacing their original thoughts and values with an alien perspective/dialectic: the oppressed vs the oppressor.
These clones adapt to their surroundings by absorbing the memories and experiences of those they replace. These woke look-alikes adapt their dialectic to the society they want to infiltrate. They use their parasitic dialectic to absorb the identity of the culture, replacing its morals and values. The more they multiply, the more they disrupt the social order and challenge the established norms. Their goal is to undermine traditional Western values and attack the traditional family structure, until democracy and capitalism and the family are destroyed forever.
These body snatchers destroy the individual, thus destroying their individuality. These useful idiot’s are conformists—collectivists. Wokeism (neo-communism) revolves around a collectivist theology, which suppresses one’s own thoughts and opinions. Wokeism is a culture of groupthink, which is null and void of critical thinking and self-reflection. Wokeism destroys individuality, because collectivism prioritizes the goals of the group over the personal rights and freedoms of the individual. Wokeism creates a culture of fear, where individuals are called racists if they don’t conform to the cult’s dogma. Wokeism focuses on subjective experience, emotional validity, and social justice over objective truth. They like to say that truth is relative, yet they hold their ideology as the absolute truth. DEI: Discrimination, Exclusivity, and Inequality.
“They are masters of censoring, blacklisting, scapegoating, deplatforming, ritual humiliation, doxxing, cancel-culture, ostracism, and disbarring.”
“Wokeism’s natural logic is to destroy the lives of people of both genders, of all races, and—if need be—of those of every age, all to leverage an otherwise unworkable ideological agenda.”
These woke anti-racists hate the white race, because they hate the West. The West is predominantly white and has a democratic and capitalist system. Communists hate democracy and capitalism! Additionally, these anti-patriarchy feminists want a matriarchy. These sexists hate men and call masculinity toxic, because the West will fall easier if its men are weak and limp-wristed. These pro-woman advocates are anti-woman, because they support replacing biological women with pseudo-women—flipping women’s rights upside down: men in women’s sports, change rooms and washrooms. These subversive agents aren’t pro-life or pro-children. Instead, they pervert the minds of children. Children are very impressionable and their minds are easily molded. The brains of young children are not wired properly to process conversations about alterative ADULT sexual lifestyles. Their brains are not developed properly to process ADULT (+18; XXX; porn; adult entertainment) sexual fetishes like drag queens dancing sexually in front of them. These things teach children to think that sexual predatory behaviour is acceptable and normal. And now they give underaged (immature) teens puberty blockers and sex changes. Can anyone say: the mental, physical, and sexual abuse of children! The woke brainwash their young minds, destroying their innocence in order to control them. Indeed, the children are only pawns. If they can control the minds of the children, they can control the future. As their religious doctrine states: the end justifies the means. Moreover, these anti-bullies love to bully those who disagree with them: “A Regina-based LGBT group Queen City Pride has asked a stadium in the city to cancel an Evangelical Christian event called ‘Come Together’ over the organizing group’s promotion of Biblical views on marriage and sexuality.” “The issue is never the issue. The real issue is the (communist) revolution.”
These anti-police leftists are pro-criminal, and they want high crime and lawlessness. Then, when chaos breaks out, they can start their commie revolution. These anti-poverty activists loot and burn poor neighbourhoods. These anti-slavery crusaders never advocate against the modern-day slave trade. They only use slavery, which has long been abolished in the United States, as an excuse to bash and demoralize their enemy—America. Why? Because these liars don’t care about slavery, they only care about their reparations (money handouts) and their woke (communist) revolution. These anti-border zealots hate the West, thus the West is being overwhelmed by unsustainable mass migration. Globalism: open borders! We are being flooded with cultures that are incompatible with Western culture, so that our culture will be destroyed. How about all the unvetted criminals and terrorists being allowed to enter the US? How about all the unvetted gang and cartel members pouring over the border? Globalism: global citizens—immigration is a human right! Flood the West with cheap unskilled workers to drive down wages and living standards. Raise taxes and impoverish the native citizens in order to support the never-ending flow of illegal immigrants. Less housing! Less jobs! A strain on every system and on all infrastructures! These communists only care about destroying the West, so that they can have total power. It’s only about power dynamics!
Likewise, these climate activists are anti-human, and the Degrowth polices that are being implemented will lead to poverty and depopulation. BTW: these pro-palestinian protests around the West are being organized by communists and islamists. Both of these subversive religions are working together, because they hate the West and Western (Judeo-Christian) values.
How about we add another dynamic to the equation? Governments (and government funded schools), corporations, and the United Nations are using DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) Social Credit Scores in order to indoctrinate and control the masses with their woke neo-communism. BlackRock, Vanguard, and State Street Bank are pushing ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Social Credit Scores in order to control corporations with their New World Order agenda—“a new model of governance” (stakeholder capitalism/neo-fascism). Part of the ESG Social Credit Score system is CEI (Corporate Equality Index). CEI is the reason why Dylan Mulvaney and his lifestyle are being pushed on us. “At stake is their Corporate Equality Index—or CEI—score, which is overseen by the Human Rights Campaign, the largest LGBTQ+ political lobbying group in the world.”
A global Social Credit Score System is in the making, and it will control all people and governments, all businesses and corporations. So why is a woke commufascist (Anti-Christ/Beast) Social Credit Score system being built to enslave us? Why are we being prodded towards a system of Central Bank Digital Currencies, Digital IDs, Facial Recognition and Biometrics, Social Credit Score systems, and Fifteen Minute Cities? Furthermore, this will eventually lead to transhumanism—the microchipping of humanity (666). Now, do you think that all these things will lead towards more individualism or towards more collectivism? Without true freedom there is no true individualism. Will you become part of the Hivemind of the Beast—the Beast Matrix? Remember, one day you will not be able to buy or sell without a Digital Mark. I think you know where this is all heading! Will you be one of the last true human beings, or will you become part of the woke transhuman-hybrid (alien) collective? Beware of the body snatchers! They’re coming for you!
Revelation 17:13 “With one purpose they will give their power and authority to the Beast.”

While on death’s door at the hospital, I came home to some great news. One of my goals for this past year was to hit all of my biometric targets except my BMI- I knew I’d never be able to drop THAT much weight in a year. The results came in and I met my goal! It may sound simple, but it was another way to look at getting healthy instead of just focusing on a weight goal number.
Sunday was the absolute worst I think I have ever been sick in the last couple decades… literally. I am starting to feel better now that I am on Tamiflu, but this four-week sickness can go straight to hell!

The demoiselle crane (Grus virgo) is a species of crane found in central Eurosiberia, ranging from the Black Sea to Mongolia and North Eastern China. There is also a small breeding population in Turkey. These cranes are migratory birds. Birds from western Eurasia will spend the winter in Africa whilst the birds from Asia, Mongolia and China will spend the winter in the Indian subcontinent. The bird is symbolically significant in the Culture of India and Pakistan, where it is known as Koonj
The demoiselle is 85–100 cm (33.5–39.5 in) long, 76 cm (30 in) tall and has a 155–180 cm (61–71 in) wingspan. It weighs 2–3 kg (4.4–6.6 lb). It is the smallest species of crane.
The demoiselle crane is slightly smaller than the common crane but has similar plumage. It has a long white neck stripe and the black on the foreneck extends down over the chest in a plume.
It has a loud trumpeting call, higher-pitched than the common crane. Like other cranes it has a dancing display, more balletic than the common crane, with less leaping.
Demoiselle cranes have to take one of the toughest migrations in the world. In late August through September, they gather in flocks of up to 400 individuals and prepare for their flight to their winter range. During their migratory flight south, demoiselles fly like all cranes, with their head and neck straight forward and their feet and legs straight behind, reaching altitudes of 16,000–26,000 feet (4,900–7,900 metres). Along their arduous journey they have to cross the Himalayan mountains to get to their over-wintering grounds in India. Many die from fatigue, hunger and predation from golden eagles. Simpler, lower routes are possible, such as crossing the range via the Khyber Pass. However, their presently preferred route has been hard-wired by countless cycles of migration. At their wintering grounds, demoiselles have been observed flocking with common cranes, their combined totals reaching up to 20,000 individuals. Demoiselles maintain separate social groups within the larger flock. In March and April, they begin their long spring journey back to their northern nesting grounds.

Blue-and-white Flycatcher (Cyanoptila cyanomelana)
Passeriforme Order – Muscicapidae Family
The blue-and-white flycatcher (Cyanoptila cyanomelana) is a migratory songbird in the Old World flycatcher family Muscicapidae. The species is also known as the Japanese flycatcher. It breeds in Japan, Korea, and in parts of north eastern China and far eastern Russia. It winters in South East Asia, especially in Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Sumatra and Borneo. This species has been recorded as a vagrant from the Sinharaja Rainforest in Sri Lanka in 2014.
BIOMETRICS
Length: 16-17 cm; Weight: 25 g
DESCRIPTION
Blue-and-white Flycatcher is very common in Korea where it is summer visitor.
Adult male has most of upperparts cobalt-blue, including upperwing-coverts, flight feather edges and tail. The primaries are black. Secondary feathers show black inner webs. The outer tail feathers are white at the base, only visible in flight.
On the underparts, chin, throat, breast and flanks are black, whereas belly and vent are white.
On the head, crown and nape are shiny cobalt-blue. The lower part of the forehead and face are black.
The bill is black. Eyes are dark brown. Legs and feet are dusky.
Female is different. She has grey-brown upperparts, including head and face. Wings are blackish, with broad rufous-brown edges on tertials. Uppertail coverts and tail are rufous-brown with darker outer rectrices.
On the underparts, chin and throat are grey to grey-brown, with distinct creamy throat patch. Breast and flanks are whitish, washed olive-grey. Belly and vent are whitish.
The bare parts are as in male, and she has an indistinct pale eye-ring.
Juvenile resembles female, but young male has bluish uppertail-coverts, tail and edges of flight feathers.
The first-year is almost similar to adult, with buff tips on secondary wing-coverts and inner flight feathers.
Two subspecies
- C.c. cyanomelana, has black head, throat and breast.
- C.c. cumatilis, shows turquoise or azure-blue plumage instead of cobalt-blue in nominate. Face is mostly deep greenish-blue. Female is darker than nominate race.
VOICE
Blue-and-white Flycatcher sings mainly at dawn and dusk. Its song is rich, fluted and melodious “hi-hwi-pipipi, tsi tsi tsi”.
Calls are harsh “tchk-tchk”, or softer, with “tic” or “tac” sounds.
This species is usually silent in winter.
HABITAT
Blue-and-white Flycatcher lives in wooded areas in lowlands and submontane forests such as taiga, wooded slopes and gullies at up to 1200 metres of elevation. It can be also found in scrub, bushes and plantations.
During migration or on wintering areas, it can be found in coastal woodlands, parks and gardens. It may winter at high altitudes in Borneo, up to 2000 metres.
RANGE
Blue-and white Flycatcher breeds in Japan, Korea, parts of China and Russia. It winters in South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Sumatra and Borneo).
BEHAVIOUR
Blue-and-white Flycatcher often adopts upright stance with frequent slow up and down tail movements and flicking wings. These movements are used in several situations, such as visual contact between mates, aggressive display behaviour, or disturbances of preys for easier caught.
It hunts from a perch, swooping down to the ground for feeding, and coming back to another perch. This small bird feeds on small invertebrates, larvae and some berries.
It is usually seen alone or in pairs, and it is very active. It gleans insects in the lower branches or in under storey, but it usually forages at mid and upper levels of canopy. It also performs sallies for flying insects. It is mainly arboreal.
Blue-and-white Flycatcher is territorial during breeding season. Some displays occur, showing the male offering food to female during courtship. This behaviour maintains the pair-bonds.
Blue-and-white Flycatcher is migratory, and moves south to wintering areas.
FLIGHT
Blue-and-white Flycatcher catches insects in flight or by sallies.
REPRODUCTION
Breeding season occurs between May and early August.
Blue-and-white Flycatcher often builds its nest near the ground, sheltered by vegetation or branches. The nest may be situated in crevice in cliff, among the roots of a tree, or under the overhanging bank of a stream.
The structure is cup-shaped, and made with moss, some plant fibres and parts of lichens.
Female lays 4 to 6 pale brown eggs with some markings. Incubation lasts about two weeks, by female. Both parents rear the chicks and take turns for catching preys.
The Blue-and-white Flycatcher’s nest is sometimes parasitized by Cuculus fugax.
DIET
Blue-and-white Flycatcher feeds mainly on insects and larvae, such as beetles, moths and bees. It also consumes some berries, including unripe green berries.
PROTECTION / THREATS / STATUS
Blue-and-white Flycatcher is common or locally common in most parts of the range. It is uncommon in China.
This species is not threatened at this moment.
