The Daily "Near You?"

Durand, Michigan, USA. Thanks for stopping by!

:The World..."

“The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever;
but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter;
and in these, the spirit blooms timidly, and struggles to the light amid the thorns.”
- George Santayana

"If You Want To See..."

"If you want to see how far we have not come from the cave and the woods, from the lonely and dangerous days of the prairie or the plain, witness the reaction of a modern suburban family, nearly ready for bed, when the doorbell rings or the door is rattled. They will stop where they stand, or sit bolt upright in their beds, as if a streak of pure lightning has passed through the house. Eyes wide, voices fearful, they will whisper to each other, "There's someone at the door," in a way that might make you believe they have always feared and anticipated this moment  - that they have spent their lives being stalked."
- Alice McDermott

"I’m 94... I Won’t Be Here Tomorrow. My Last Message"

Before You Lose It All, 2/15/26
"I’m 94... I Won’t Be Here Tomorrow.
 My Last Message"
"I am 94 years old. The doctor told me I won't be here tomorrow. For decades, I chased money, status, and the approval of others. I lived in the "Waiting Room" of life, always waiting for a better future. But tonight, as the clock ticks down my final hours, I realize I was wrong about everything. Before I go, I want to empty my backpack. I am sharing the 4 brutal truths about life, love, and regret that you only understand when you are standing at death's door. Please, don't make the same mistakes I did. Listen to this before it's too late."

"15 Biggest Retailers Closing Down Stores
 Across America - Millions Stopped Shopping"

"Store closures across the US retail sector are accelerating in 2026 - and this retail collapse breakdown shows why so many familiar stores are quietly disappearing. Here’s the thing… this wave of store closures isn’t just about people shopping online. In this video, I explain how rising rents, tighter credit, higher shipping costs, and shrinking profit margins are forcing even well-known retailers to pull back fast in both malls and neighborhood shopping centers.

What most people miss is how theft headlines and inflation only tell part of the story. The reality is that changing buying habits, loyalty program cuts, and private-equity ownership are quietly draining cash from brands long before the public ever hears about trouble. I also show how smaller towns and suburban centers are losing stores first - long before big cities feel it. The future of US retail is being reshaped right now, and the impact on jobs, empty storefronts, and local tax revenue is bigger than most people realize."

"This Is Why You Can’t Afford Life Anymore in America"
"Why does life in America suddenly feel unaffordable for so many people? In this video, we explore the hidden reasons behind the disappearing middle class and the growing cost of living crisis in 2026. From rising grocery bills to unaffordable housing, more Americans are living paycheck to paycheck - and no one seems to be talking about it. Is this just inflation in America… or something much bigger? Could it be the sign of an economic decline in 2026, or even a full-on middle class collapse?

If you’ve ever asked yourself why everything is so expensive, or wondered about the real cost of living today, this video breaks down the truth about the economy in a way that hits home. The signs of an American economy collapse are becoming harder to ignore. This is inflation explained - but not the way the media wants you to see it. Is the middle class dying? You decide."

"Americans Can’t Afford Their Electric Bills &
Are Getting Angry"
"Electric bills are going up across America, and families are feeling the pressure as energy costs rise, inflation sticks around, and the cost of living crisis keeps tightening its grip. More Americans are opening their power bills in disbelief, wondering how something as basic as keeping the lights on has become this expensive. In this video, we’re talking about why electricity prices are skyrocketing, what’s really driving these utility rate hikes, and why frustration is boiling over. This isn’t just about one high bill. It’s about the bigger pattern: rising food prices, housing costs, shrinking paychecks, and a middle class that feels like it’s being squeezed from every direction. The energy crisis in America is becoming a tipping point for many households. If you’ve noticed your power bill climbing and your budget getting tighter, you’re not imagining it."

"They Want You To Snitch, 
Get Paid 30% To Turn in Your Neighbors"
"The federal government has launched a whistleblower website that could pay citizens 10 - 30% of recovered fraud funds. From fake daycare centers to missing homeless funds and multi-million dollar scams, officials are now encouraging everyday Americans to report fraud, waste, and abuse. Is this accountability… or something much bigger? Dan breaks down what this means, how it works, and why this could change everything. Meanwhile, store closures are accelerating, layoffs are rising, cruise lines are shutting down, housing contracts are being canceled, and even fast-food chains are struggling. From Wendy’s closures to IKEA downsizing and real estate “ghosting,” the economic warning signs are everywhere. Are we entering a whistleblower economy while businesses quietly collapse? Let’s talk about it."

"This Is Armageddon Energy. For Them"; "The Epstein Egregore" (Excerpts)

A Comment, And A Warning: In 16 years, on 2 blogs, posting 100,019 posts, I have never encountered material that frightened, no, terrified me, like this. This will horrify you and forever change how you view the world... - CP

"This Is Armageddon Energy. For Them"
by Elizabeth Nickson

Excerpt: "I didn’t recover from last week’s piece on the Epstein files until this morning, Thursday, and I had to climb a mountain to do it. I was spell stopped, heavy and fogged up. I had to virtually crawl up that mountain on my knees, resting often, when I used to be able to dance up there in the falling snow with my fierce ravening attack dog by my side.

Yes, it’s just that bad. And Congresswoman Lauren Boebert described the worst of it on Wednesday, after viewing the still embargoed files. They eat us. They are cannibals. That’s their most secret sin, beyond the rape, torture and murder of the innocent. “Pizza” is not just the rape of children, it means eating children. “Jerky” is the dried flesh of babies.

Why did Epstein order 330 gallons of sulphuric acid shipped to his island, prior to his arrest? Because sulphuric acid dissolves bones.

Pam Bondi, who endures being shouted at all day long by both sides, states the truth of the matter. If we knew all, the system would fall.

I am, in theory, trained to endure it. After two weeks of interviewing torture victims at the beginning of my career, I went to bed for three weeks, so sick, a persistent fever, tempest tossed and miserable beyond words. One learns, via being blooded, to build a ring fence so you can look at the dark with dispassion. And then take revenge by writing about it. Doing something. Anything.

We are all being asked to look at it and then do something. If the creaky old legacy media is ignoring it, I tell you who isn’t – people in their 20’s, 30’s and 40’s are looking at the world we are leaving them and they aren’t afraid. They are sharpening their metaphorical knives."

"The Epstein Egregore"
by Mark E. Jeftovic

Excerpt: "The Politics Of Institutionalized Predation: "I become stronger as you become weaker, I absorb strength as yours flows into me. I become capable of this because I do not experience your pain, I don’t care about your loss, and I feel no regret about using, abusing, and devouring you.” - Page 63, "An Age For Lucifer"

"Consider the following: “This book explores a strange new spirituality about to enter into competition with other established religions. My purpose here is to convince you that its emergence is probable, if not inevitable. I begin this exploration with an unproven assumption based on Darwinian evolutionary principles: a new predator will appear on our planet, an evolutionary prototype designed to prey on humans. Another assumption then follows: this predator will evolve gradually and incrementally from humanity, just as we apparently evolved from lower forms to prey on them. A further assumption suggests that these predators have already appeared as evolutionary prototypes, as new humans with advanced methods of survival and new forms of spiritual expression and religious organization designed to support and advance their predation.“
- Robert C Tucker, "An Age For Lucifer: 
Predatory Spirituality & The Quest for Godhood"

"The book in question was Robert C Tucker’s “An Age For Lucifer: Predatory Spirituality and the Quest For Godhood“. I first wrote about it in a Bombthrower piece: The WEF Isn’t a Cabal, It’s A Cult, and I can’t remember how I came into possession of it in the first place. I remember owning it for years and never reading it, because frankly, it scared me.

At first I thought it was some kind of manual for psychopathy – how to rise above your self-limiting human emotions to attain power and fame (even Godhood?) through the energetic predation of those around you. But once I found out that its author wasn’t some High Priest of the Left Hand Path, but rather, a former counsellor and director of COMA, the Council On Mind Abuse, based in Canada – it started to take on a different light.

COMA worked with “adult survivors and child victims of ritual abuse“, and Tucker spent much of his adult life interviewing Satanists and Luciferians (yes, there is a distinction, as Tucker would elucidate in this book)."
