I Shall Be Released - Clarence Bekker & Roberto Luti Live
The impassioned vocals and stripped-down, eloquent playing make for one of the most moving renditions of this song with it’s underpinning of sympathetic guitar, is a cry in the darkness, full of pain and hope. Musical gifts, expressing certainty and freedom no matter the circumstances.
Here is an excerpt from the writings of Marshall Vian Summers on freedom:
"Your freedom will be fulfilled, your freedom will be completed and your freedom will be reclaimed forever through the contribution of your true gifts to the world.
You who are now dedicating yourself to give and are learning of the nature of your gift and your responsibility as a giver are setting the stage for your own freedom and securing your own freedom within the world.
Do not be discouraged that the world does not hold your values and do not be dismayed that the world does not share your commitment, for there are many within the world and beyond the world who are undertaking the same preparation as you... Thus, you are a part of a great learning community.
What you are learning now all of the world must learn eventually, for all must reclaim Knowledge... In [claiming] your advocacy for Knowledge... you will increasingly become a force for good in the world--a force that dispels ambivalence, confusion and conflict, a force for peace, a force for certainty and a force for true cooperation and relationship."

One of the comments:
If it weren't religion, humans would find other reasons to control and punish others. It is convenient for us to blame the wishes of deity when we treat others badly.

The End of All Freedom. A Central Bank Digital Currency Creates Unprecedented Possibilities for Tyranny
The central banks are preparing to replace all cash money with a digital currency, the CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency). This will give them full control over humanity, as they can then monitor every transaction, limit what you can spend, and even delete your funds at will. It is promoted as something that will make our lives easier. The truth is that it would mean total tyranny for all of humanity. Our digital funds would be connected to our digital ID, which will be connected to our vaccine status and social credit scores.
Imagine no longer being able to access your funds – when your digital ID shows that you haven’t received your umpteenth vaccine booster. Or envision how your spending would be limited as the result of posting something on Facebook that the government doesn’t like.
Or worse: what if governments simply erase your bank account because you don’t agree with their policies?
