Do you truly believe that politicians really care?

Alred C. Frett

We’ll see that we cannot change the Past:

If the World was coming to an end, this could be the chosen Place and Time, for our Prophets amuse us, our Weathermen confuse us, our Winters look more like Summers, our Hurricanes are beginning where they usually end, and the Days are hotter than Hell while some Hearts may be Colder than Ice... Wars and Rumours of Wars are everywhere, with Jews fighting Muslims, and Christians fighting non-Christians.

Are we placing the right ladders on the wrong walls?

Alred C. Frett

When the Beginning appears as Tragic as the End: I am no Jesus, and why I do the things I do without expectations, may be hard to answer, but according to your story, Jesus healed ten lepers and only one bothered to say thanks...

When corruption breeds corruption

Alred C. Frett

A Mountain is not a Haystack:

Some think that it’s foolish to stand up against Injustice when this could be their Bread and Butter on the road to Riches...

This happens whenever we are wide awake but fast asleep, and Dreams become Nightmares.

UK vs BVI - Talking large about doing little

Alred C. Frett

Messages from the Masters:

February, 2024, Black History Month… We can talk about anything, including how Ron DeSantis, a Ringleader for revoking our History with Anti-Woke Nonsense, has suffered a Presidential Nomination defeat... However, the threats are still growing, and we cannot risk the chance of their success, so we must work extra hard to ensure that this and generations to come will not be deprived of their Identity.
