Sometimes the ancestors answer in the quietest ways. 🪶🌙
Last night, I found myself thinking about possums. Strange, really. I hadn't seen one on my property in years. I wondered where they'd gone.
Then tonight, after spending hours remembering my ancestors, my childhood, and the journey that brought me to where I am today, I stepped outside to look at the moon and stars.
I leaned against my porch railing. To my right, I could hear the deer quietly eating acorns beneath the oaks.
Something caught my eye.
At first, I thought it was a cat. I watched as it wandered into the moonlight.
A possum.
Just traveling along, minding its own business.
I smiled.
You see, there's an old Mvskoke story about Mother Possum and her babies.
A whip-poor-will steals her children and hides them away in a hole. Mother Possum cries, desperately trying to get her babies back.
Then Terrapin,(turtle), comes along.
He hears her cries and offers to help. Even when faced with danger, heat, and burning ashes, Terrapin presses forward, rescues her babies, and returns them to their mother.
The story tells us why Mother Possum carries her babies close, protecting them as she travels.
Think about that.
A mother crying for her children.
Someone hearing those cries.
And someone willing to walk into danger to bring those children home.
I've spent much of my adult life standing up for women and children. Across oceans, through hurricanes, earthquakes, humanitarian crises, and here in my own country.
I've witnessed suffering. I've heard mothers cry for their babies. I've seen children who needed someone, anyone, to stand up for them.
And I've tried to be someone who answers.
Sometimes protecting the vulnerable means standing in the fire when others won't.
It's interesting how the natural world speaks to us when we learn to listen.
As a Mvskoke woman reconnecting with the ways of my ancestors, I don't dismiss these moments.
Not everyone will understand that. They don't have to.
And yes, my Grateful Dead-loving self immediately thought of Terrapin Station. 🐢🎶
After all, music, nature, and the stories of our ancestors have a way of finding each other in my world.
Some people would say it was just a possum crossing my yard.
Perhaps.
But I had been thinking about that little creature only the night before. And tonight, after remembering the women who came before me and the life I've spent fighting for others, there it was.
A little reminder of a story I've known for years.
Protect the children. Hear the mothers. Be willing to help bring them home.
The Wind still listens.
And I still stand.
Mvto, ancestors. 🪶❤️
I was 15 years old when the world became my classroom. 🌍🪶
In 1990, I left South Carolina for Belgium as a Rotary exchange student. I'd lived overseas as a military kid and traveled with my grandparents, but this was different.
This time, I was on my own.
I had $50 a month from Rotary and $10 a week from Maw Maw and Pap Paw. That money had to buy my shampoo, soap, tampons, and whatever else I needed.
My parents couldn't afford to send extra money. So I learned to make what I had stretch.
And Lord, did I stretch it. 😂
I had a student train pass, a clarinet, and friends from all over the world.
We played music on street corners to earn money. Guitars, violin, clarinet, whatever we had. We slept on overnight trains to save on accommodations. Shared hostels. Sometimes ten of us squeezed into a room.
We figured it out.
Teachers on strike? Hell, why not go to Spain? We ran with the bulls in Pamplona. Well, until we found a pub to duck into. 🐂🤣
A weekend in Amsterdam taught me a few things that definitely weren't in the Rotary handbook. 😂
We explored France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Austria, England, Luxembourg, Spain, and Turkey. I even tried to get a visa to Russia.
Istanbul stole a piece of my heart. The spice markets, the Turkish coffee, the ancient architecture, the call to prayer rising across the city. I can still feel it 36 years later. I can appreciate it and don't need ugly comments.
In Belgium, we gathered at an underground pub with brick-vaulted ceilings and a big fireplace. Pierre, the bartender, ordered us Dagobert sandwiches while we studied between classes.
My Belgian sister Gaëlle and I shared an attic bedroom. She played Bob Marley's Get Up, Stand Up on our boombox until I could practically hear it in my sleep.
At first, I just heard the music.
Then I started listening to the words.
That year wasn't always easy. I learned independence, budgeting, resourcefulness, and how to rely on people from cultures completely different from my own. I learned to busk
But more importantly, I learned that the world was bigger than the little corner of it I'd known.
I learned to listen. To question. To experience people and cultures rather than judge them from a distance.
And somewhere along the way, I discovered something about myself.
I wasn't meant to sit still.
Thirty-six years later, I've traveled the world doing humanitarian work, responded to disasters, led organizations, founded my own nonprofit, and reconnected with my ancestral roots.
That fifteen-year-old girl with her clarinet and a few dollars in her pocket had no idea where life would take her.
But she learned early that a lack of money didn't have to mean a lack of possibilities.
Overcome. Adapt. Find a way.
And Bob Marley?
Bob spoke. Erin listened.
I got up. I stood up.
And I haven't sat down since. 🪶❤️
P.S. My mother didn't learn about some of those adventures until I was 34. Aint Judy finally spilled the beans.
Mama went and got the paddle. 🤣🤣
Some things never change.

Simon is Military Intelligence.. @xSimon_Says
The U.S. military has TWO systems named SIMON, and once you understand what they do, you’ll understand why modern warfare is no longer just about weapons. It’s about INFORMATION.
The first is SIMON — Smart Integration Manager Ontologically Networked.
Developed by SRI International, this technology was designed to integrate military intelligence, radar, surveillance cameras, vessel tracking, sensor networks, and government databases into a shared operational picture.
Its documented applications include U.S. Navy operations, maritime surveillance, border security, and intelligence sharing.
But pay attention to the word ONTOLOGICALLY.
In computer science, an ontology defines how information is classified, connected, and interpreted. That means SIMON wasn't just collecting information. It was designed to help separate systems organize and understand information about the same people, objects, locations, and events.
Now here's where things get interesting.
SRI International also led DARPA's CALO artificial intelligence project, whose research helped give birth to Apple's SIRI.
Yes. The same research institution developing military intelligence integration technology was also helping pioneer intelligent digital assistants.
Now meet the SECOND SIMON.
Secure Integrated Multi-Orbit Networking.
Developed by SES Space & Defense, this system connects military satellite communications across Low Earth Orbit, Medium Earth Orbit, and Geostationary Orbit.
In May 2025, SES announced its selection to support the Defense Innovation Unit's Hybrid Space Architecture initiative.
This technology is designed to keep military communications connected across different satellite networks, even when individual communication pathways become unavailable.
Now imagine this "hypothetical" military operation:
A suspicious vessel enters a monitored maritime corridor.
Radar detects it. Cameras capture it. Vessel identification records provide additional information.
The original SIMON could bring those separate streams of intelligence together, helping military personnel identify the vessel, track its movements, and recognize discrepancies.
Meanwhile, the newer SIMON could provide resilient satellite communication pathways to carry operational information between ships, aircraft, and military command centers.
If one satellite connection becomes unavailable, communications could be rerouted through another supported network.
Think about that.
One technology integrates information from multiple surveillance sources.
The other integrates the satellite networks that carry military communications.
And this is where the bigger picture emerges.
The U.S. military has spent decades developing technologies for network-centric warfare: connecting sensors, intelligence systems, command centers, and operational units so decisions can be made faster.
DARPA-funded research helped advance intelligent assistants.
SRI developed military information-integration technologies.
The Navy pursued shared maritime surveillance networks.
And now defense contractors are building communication architectures spanning multiple satellite orbits.
These are documented developments.
Their complementary capabilities are real.
And that raises a much more important question:
As military AI, surveillance integration, and satellite communications become increasingly interconnected, who controls the information, who controls access, and how much of the decision-making process is being delegated to machines?
Because the future of warfare isn't just about who has the most powerful weapons.
It's about who can see the battlefield, connect the information, and act on it first.
Sources: SRI International, U.S. Navy procurement documentation, DARPA CALO research, SES Space & Defense (2025), and congressional FY2026 defense documentation.
Who is Simon? Two systems apparently..
SIMON — Smart Integration Manager Ontologically Networked
A separate software platform developed by SRI International. A U.S. government contracting notice from 2013 describes its use in the Unity system, supporting the Counter Networks and Illicit Trafficking Project Office. This system is especially relevant to government data integration and counter-network analysis.
&
SIMON — Secure Integrated Multi-Orbit Networking
A real military satellite communications platform developed by SES Space & Defense. In 2025, the company described its involvement in a U.S. Department of Defense initiative to demonstrate resilient communications across different satellite networks.
They have different developers and different stated purposes, although both relate to connecting information across networks.
•SIMON (SES Space & Defense): Focuses on satellite communications and connectivity across multiple orbital networks.
•SIMON (SRI International): Focuses on software-based data integration and connecting information for analysis.
One deals primarily with moving information securely, while the other deals with integrating and organizing information. That means their functions could theoretically complement each other.
Now the question becomes…If Simon has the red folder, are the contents of the red folder the bridge between both systems?
Doing more research that I will add to this post, watch this space. 🤍

2 days ahead of schedule? Seems familiar.
THE CEASEFIRE HAS COMMENCED
The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia took effect at 4:00am Moscow time on October 27, 2026.
Timing was accelerated two days ahead of schedule to protect the safety of civilians and to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid. The ceasefire’s geographic area has expanded beyond Oleshky, within the Kherson Region, to provide safe passage for the humanitarian convoys.
General Valery Gerasimov, Joint Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces has confirmed.

Brian is making a really important point here.
I predicted a long time ago, that Comey would be the first “big indictment.”
It just happened.
This newly “unsealed indictment” isn’t about Comey’s leak AFTER he was fired, to frame Trump for “obstruction of justice” and set up the call for a Special Counsel investigation.
This “unsealed indictment” involves a “whistleblower,” who has flipped and exposed the fact that Comey was part of the “protection racket” for Obama and Hillary.
And as part of that “protection racket,” he was ALREADY SPYING and LEAKING classified information to shape the media narrative against Obama and Hillary’s opponents.
What a lot of people don’t understand fully, is that the Obama administration was spying on all their political opponents, long before they ever applied for a FISA warrant against Carter Page to spy on the Trump campaign.
A large group of Obama administration officials were illegally accessing the NSA database until they were caught by Admiral Rogers.
Admiral Rogers shut down their access and reported the spying campaign to the FISA court.
That caused immediate panic in the Obama administration.
Obama needed a quick plan to obtain a FISA warrant and they had no other option, than to use the Steele dossier provided by Hillary.
None of it was true and they knew it, but they had no other option.
They “knowingly” hid the fact that it was all unverified from the FISA court.
Why would the Obama administration use the Steele dossier as evidence, “knowing” it would be easily debunked?
They were PANICKED and had no other option.
The Comey FISA application against Carter Page, wasn’t a fraudulent application to “start” spying on Trump and many others.
It was the “coverup” to the illegal Obama spying operation that had been happening throughout Obama’s presidency.
This new “unsealed indictment” against Comey, proves that this investigation is far bigger than lying to a FISA court.
And remember my other prediction:
After Comey’s “unsealed indictment,” comes an “unsealed indictment” for John Brennan.
They are leading directly to Obama’s sealed indictment because he personally gave the order to spy illegally, to both Comey and Brennan.

There is a paper trail of “evidence” that leads directly to Obama.
And don’t miss this important fact.
Five days after Admiral Rogers shut down Obama’s access to the NSA database, he reported the illegal access to the FISA court.
Why is that important?
FISA goes both ways.
A TRAP was set.
The “protection racket” in the FBI and DOJ were allowed to renew the Carter Page FISA warrant three more times, AFTER they were exposed for illegally spying.
Why would the FISA court allow the weaponized DOJ/FBI to continue to spy?
Sting operation.
The hunters had become the hunted.
And for those out there, who still don’t believe that AG Barr is a patriot.
Trump gave Barr authority over declassified information.
Why?

If AG Barr has access to all classified material, how does [MUELLER] navigate?
If [MUELLER] provides FALSE and/or MISLEADING testimony, will AG Barr be forced to DECLAS all documentation to ensure full public awareness of the TRUTH?
If [MUELLER] defers to the original report but D's/ FAKE NEWS push a false narrative 'knowing majority of the public did not watch the actual hearing' will AG Barr be forced to DECLAS all documentation to ensure full public awareness of the TRUTH?
[Be Ready], [MUELLER].
[Be Ready], [James Comey].
[Be Ready], [Traitors one & ALL].
Thank you for playing.
FISA GOES BOTH WAYS.

Barr ended the Mueller witch-hunt.
Holy shit.
This can't be the memos he gave to Prof. Richman to leak to the NYT's reporter because THAT didn't happen until 2017.
But the indictment makes it clear that by October of 2016, James Comey was already acting as a member of a criminal conspiracy to leak classified information to the press.
