57. True, but there are times when overwhelm takes over and rules the day.

Sat Jan 3, 2026, 12:41 PM

Saturday

The main question is: how long does this last?

And I truly, genuinely, honestly, and seriously want to know.
Has overwhelm formally taken over? Taken us all by the throat?

And it has to be faced: how permanently have we been disabled?

Are we all either asleep or strategically paralyzed? How far have the manipulation and mind control been allowed to go? And realistically, is there ANY meaningful pushback? I’m finding all off this not only truly insane, but also terrifying.
