THE ROCK-HEWN CHURCHES OF LALIBELA, ETHIOPIA
900 years ago, the Church of Saint George (Bete Giyorgis in Amharic) was not built – it was hand carved downwards from a horizontal rock ledge. There is nothing like the rock-hewn churches in Lalibela anywhere else in the world.
Christianity was established in Ethiopia in 330 AD and has flourished ever since. Experiencing the devotion still so very much alive in one of the oldest Christian countries on earth is inspiring. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #26 photo ©Jack Wheeler)

A DAY OF INFAMY
Eighty years later, today, January 20, 2021, is another Day of Infamy for America. Most tragically, it is worse than that of Pearl Harbor – and a far greater threat.
Pearl Harbor was a military attack on an American island 2,500 miles from our shores by a foreign power. There was not the slightest ability of the Imperial Japanese to pose a serious threat to seize and conquer our country.
On this day, our country has been seized and conquered as never before in our history, not by a foreign power but by domestic enemies, homegrown fascists dedicated to destroying America’s founding principles, obliterating our Constitution, eliminating our freedom, and being treasonously allied to Communist China.
And so on this day, we must note that FDR’s response to the Day of Infamy at Pearl Harbor was the opposite of defeatist:
OUR PRESIDENT’S FAREWELL
AMERICA’S FIRST LADY’S FAREWELL
Melania will always be America’s most beloved First Lady to all patriots. TTP is looking forward to her being First Lady again on January 20, 2025
THANKS FOR EVERYTHING, PRESIDENT TRUMP!
Thank you, Mr. President, for everything you’ve done.
It shouldn’t be ending this way, but I and 74 (really 80 to 100) million other Americans just want to thank you for all your efforts on our behalf over the past four years, actually since you came down the escalator at Trump Tower back in the summer of 2015.
In no particular order:
Thank you for restoring the U.S. as the world’s leading producer of energy – after your predecessor sternly lectured us that we “couldn’t drill our way” out of our dependence on unstable Middle Eastern oil providers.
Thank you for the tax cuts for the middle class.
Thank you for destroying genocidal ISIS, which your predecessor called “the junior varsity.”
MOROCCO’S DADES GORGE
This astounding road is how you traverse the Dades Gorge on the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs in Morocco. Kasbahs are fortified villages of the Berbers, who have lived here since the end of the Ice Ages 12,000 years ago (related to the Lapps of the Scandinavian Arctic, both descending from Cro-Magnon hunters in Cantabria of northern Spain).
The road is rated as one of the most scenic drives in the world. It is in the High Atlas Mountains (once higher than the Himalayas and joined to the Appalachians in the northeast US before splitting apart to form the Atlantic Ocean 200 million years ago). Here you go from the sand dunes of the Sahara to the fabulous kasbahs of Skoura, Ouarzazate, and Ait Benhaddou. The drive is one of the many life-memorable experiences we have in our exploration of Moroccan Magic. (Glimpses of Our Breathtaking World #110 photo ©Jack Wheeler)
OAMU – A FIELD MANUAL ON ORGANIZING A MASS UPRISING
[Note by JW: As freedom is being extinguished in a post-Trump America, the principal hope of regaining it is mass peaceful civil disobedience. TTPer Dale Woolridge has written a manual on how to achieve this. It will be presented in a series of installments on Mondays. We expect a lively discussion of his method, strategy and tactics on the Forum, and encourage you to participate]
"America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of the government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long." Ron Paul
Chapter One - Introduction
This manual describes a method for organizing mass uprisings. The method was used with great effect during the American civil rights movement of the early 1960s by a little-known group called the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC, pronounced “Snick”). Note its logo above of racial cooperation, rather than the antagonism of today:
KEEPING YOUR SANITY
JW watching sunset, Funafuti, Tuvalu – photo by TTPer Kellie Ramsey
Not just America but the entire World has been going progressively more insane for over a year now, ever since Red China attacked the planet with its Chicom Virus.
Now, the Democrat-Fascist Party has successfully politicized the Scamdemic to enable its theft of the presidency and the demolition of democracy itself. We are entering a period of darkness for America during which it will be difficult to keep ourselves sane.
Thus today TTP launches a weekly Monday series that hopefully will help in Keeping Your Sanity. My first effort will be to share something very personal with you.
AND ALWAYS WILL BE
