Dear, dear Classmates,

So much has literally changed in the way the world we grew up in now functions. Everything IS upside down. At the same time, know that the definition of apocolyps and apocolyptic actually means to split open and reveal. Many truths are being revealed - many of which will have people wondering which way is up.

All of this said, please know that as mournful as it is seeing family, clasmates, partners, friends leave us here on this mortal plane, decisions that you make at this time bear the same critical weight. Please, please do your diligence. Do NOT allow fear (programmed!) to direct your thoughts and decisions. Please do your independent research and homework. I could easily fill this space with unending links that solidly refute what we all see unfolding before our eyes.  Rather, I will provide two that will serve today as bookends to this mad show we are watching. The first is an interview recorded sometime in the '80/90s... when AIDS controlled the airwaves. It's an interview completely unfamiliar to me. What you will hear - listen carefully - sounds exactly like what we are hearing today through the media.

The second is a current conversation with scientific references you can research yourself... and beyond should you choose to go deeper. One thing I am not is an alarmist, fraidy cat, unbalanced psychically nor emotionally. Human (natural) life hangs in the balance. Fact. Here are the links. Please be well and healthfylly minded.

With love,

Thinking of our dear friend and classmate Timothy Lee as I listened to this! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifoO5ags97I

Additioinal research:

Minds of Men - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQucESRF3Sg

Who JD Rockefella really was and where his money was spent. Look up the General Education Board (GEB) who first convened around 1906ish.

Eugenics - Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood, Rockefella $$, Sir Francis Galton

Edward Bernays

Tavistock Institute

Ok... one more... haha

Witnessing my Mother's health decline and ultimately, her demise began my search for better answers. Truthful answers. It is not the disease/illness that we die from it is often the "treatment" via ALLOPATHIC methods.

Research who founded the AMA. Read about the fraud of Louis Pasteaur. It's all out there. Do not disparage the messenger. Ill health is a trillion dollar industry. Read about who closed the natural medicine schools in the early 1900s. BTW, the year is 1904 for the GEB. Much was happening at that time, establishing the foundation of where we find ourselves today. RESEARCH... the books, papers, prime source interviews and research are out there. Uncomfortable as it may be, know we all live under the rule of deception. Yep. Eye opening once you skip down the rabbit hole. Anywayz... I love you all and want to see you at our 50th!

BTW, there's a document on the intewebs about the "approved" funding for the program/event called c-19. Funding is approved through 2025. Will look for link. Question everything. Put naivite in the trash. There is a battle underway... let truth and love lead your way. The truth is out there.

For more historical info, look up Carroll Quigley, Cecil Rhodes and The Reconquest of America on yt. The guy doing the analysis of Quigley's book went to school in Fairfax. He begins his vid saying that he studied in one of the top school districts in the nation and learned NONE OF it. So imagine what we DID NOT LEARN. Anyway, Quigley taught at GT in the 50/60s and wrote about the world of the elite parents of the students he taught. His book is titled Tragedy & Hope. All lies require voluntary consent... js.

I thank everyone who took the time to Congratulate and send me nothing but love.  To those who came out to the Book Signing, wow you made my heart smile even brighter. My McKinley family you ROCK!!!  Thank you

JoVonne Jones (Lane)

To the family of Debra Dudley I pray for comfort and peace during this time of sorrow, I pray that her loving memories and that beautiful sunshine smile you treasure in your hearts. R.I.P.

Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can not heal, Damita Garner I pray that your earthly Angel, who is now the Angel that will still look over you until you meet again.  May you found peace in her love and the love that you have for her may it comfort you.

R.I.P. Mr. James Stover your labor was not in vain.  You encouraged so many students, and changed so many lives what would we do without you.  Thank you and I pray for your family as they start this time without your presence but may they always remember your love.

Rhonda Moore (Holder)

Debra Dudley and I were friends at Tech.  We reconnected about 5 years ago at Largo Subway station.  I told her about our reunion activities and she was so excited to come.  She can to several activities with me and had a great time. Our 40th Class Reunion was the last time I saw her.  May the Angels carry  you to Jesus loving arms.  Praying comfort to your family.  You will be missed. 

Pamela Nixon (Nixon-Mckisset)

WOW!!  May the souls of the decease, have eternal life, and enjoyed their lives with us!  Condolence to the families of the dearly departed.

Mr. Stover was a joy, humorus and definately an educator to his heart!  What a time well spent going to his class.  He was blessed to grace this earth for 91 years!!!
