Power vs Fake Protection
Fake protection is loud.
It wears uniforms, badges, titles, weapons, brotherhoods.
It moves in packs, hides behind procedures, and calls itself strength.
Real power does not need cover.
Fake protection says: Stand with us, or stand alone.
Real power says nothing.
It just stands.
This system survives by confusing the two.
It teaches people that power comes from numbers, approval, hierarchy.
That safety comes from obedience.
That morality can be outsourced to rules, ranks, and rituals.
That is corruption at its core.
You can’t buy me.
You can’t own me.
Not with money.
Not with status.
Not with fear.
If you come to me alone, unarmed, without a title to hide behind,
and you are totally honest.
Then maybe, maybe, I will walk beside you.
But if you need a brotherhood to back you,
a weapon to face me,
or a system to justify you.
Then you are not looking for truth.
You are looking for protection from yourself.
Fake protection is built to avoid accountability.
Power is built on it.
That’s why institutions panic when someone refuses to play along.
Why the individual with a spine is treated as a threat.
Why silence is enforced, mockery is used, isolation is applied.
Not because the system is strong.
But because it collapses the moment people stop pretending.
Power is the ability to stand without permission.
Fake protection is the need to never stand alone.
One is rare.
The other is everywhere.
And the difference between them.......
Is the difference between a human being
and a function.
What is your choice?
Ok friends, we have some catching up to do, it’s been an eventful week on Big Bear Farm…we’ll get you up to speed but for now, please meet JUMPS, one of the new arrivals🐐
It’s like the Groundhog Day movie but in a good way;-) We woke up to more babies…AGAIN!
HAPPY THANKS-GIVING Y’ALL!
Thank you so much for all the love, warmth and compassion you're flooding us with. The grief is just ours, not Jagger's. Leaving his earthly body was certainly a relief for him.
Earlier this year we didn't think he would make it through another summer, but he must have felt the change coming - us moving to our farm, because he worked up a 3rd, or should I say a 4th wind.
Jagger hated car rides all his life, no matter how much we bribed him:-)
Noah was driving the dogs from the old place to the farm and he said that Jagger was fine the entire ride. Once he lifted him out of the truck, Jagger started walking the entire fenced off part of the property, which is some 5 acres in total. He would do so almost every single day since, including yesterday, when he made one last big round and checked on everything.
Watching him walk was painful for us (and surely painful for him), as his hind legs were very stiff and in recent days his front legs really started giving him problems as well. But he kept walking, checking the ...
Today we helped Jagger cross over. He was 15 years and 3 months young.
Our minds are flooded with memories…He was much more human than dog, with a mind of his own that defied every training method and every trainer he‘s ever met.
Not surprising, is it?
This photo was taken a few hours before his departure. He left with the sun shining on his face, knowing what was going on and as ready as he could be.
We however weren‘t ready for that kind of pain.
Our last words to him where: „Go home, to the real one, go home!“
FUN DOG STORY = My dog patches, was in on the "fart game". Thor on the other hand was not. 😅He once farted n looked at his butthole like "😲What was that?" n looked at me like "🤨ahh, that normal?" Anyway, I used ta fart on their heads on occasion as I walked by. (Big dogs) Patches caught on. That beasty would come fart at my feet n then go to the other side of the room, wait till I started gagin, n then pant like she was laughin. I'd often offer to let her out, in case she had to poop. Nope. She was jus playin the fart game. 🤪Couldn't tell ya where she learned it🥴😆
Friends,
it's always quite interesting to see how one and the same piece of information/video/article can cause an incredibly variety of reactions. From "blessed and inspired" to "this is fear mongering of the worst kind".
They saw the same piece on information delivered/written by the same person. So is it the information itself or is it something else that determines how we react?
Kristin and I talk about it in today's Sunday Sermon right here 👇🏽
Much Love & Many Blessings,
Jean & Kristin
Friends,
in the face of all that we are witnessing in the world today, who hasn't asked themself at times, "What can little old me change"? It's a common question and we've all asked it before.
It's actually a very important one to ask, but most don't realize how powerful the real answer is.
Let us explain in today's Sunday Sermon 👇🏽
