An Easter Confession in the Age of the Coronavirus... ( Final Conclusion )

Christ is risen!... He is truly risen!... Alleluia!

Coming full circle when I started this year-long title of my Blog, and after 19 entries & almost 4 months rest of self-impost hiatus following the US presidential election which Biden won (against my personal wish & prediction,) I may now finally conclude my musings with an able body and a clear mind & conviction of my certain conscience (even if it turns out to be erroneous; which I doubt, by the way.)

But first, let me recap what transpired in us, and around the world since then or a year ago, namely:

1. A vaccine against the Coronavirus or Covid-19 from the US (such as Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson due to Trump's Operation Warp Speed,) Britain, China, and Russia had been fully administered to 130 million people globally (330 million vaccinated with one dose at least,) which stem the spread of the virus, and cut the deaths to a fraction, or 7,000 deaths per day, from the previous 17,000 thousand at its peak 3 months ago, out of 130 million cases worldwide, so far; although 80 million people recovered, but 2.9 million individuals had died from Covid-19 or the Chinese Coronavirus.

While the above news was marked in the US by celebration of spring break and opening of business, high schools, churches, and other establishments to at least 50% in some states (you should see our guests in Las Vegas today where  people are congregatimg around  casino pools without masks & social distancing, while spending their third stimulus money of $1,400 for US individual citizens ages 18 & above with less than 80 grand in annual income (including dependents of all ages, if guardians make less than $160,000 for couples filing jointly, or head of households making less than $120,000,) and watching March madness on gigantic screens, or enjoying ABCDE (Alcohol, Bites/Buffet, Cannabis, Dancing Queens or Kings, and the Elusive Cache of Money from Gambling,) the virus is not going away because  experts believe that the Covid vaccine is only good for 12 months; and we may need the vaccine like the flu jab every year; which means that Gie & I am going for our  3rd dose after getting the two doses last February, before going hopefully to the Philippines (which is under severe travel restrictions again due to the resurgence of Covid-19 variants,) then cruise afterwards to our 7th continent Australia, and its neighbor New Zealand that we have not visited, for our 40th anniversary  cruise this year,  which was cancelled by Princess Cruises last year (three more cruises from Norwegian were also cancelled until July 1st of 2021, for a total of 4 cruises that would have brought us to 22 more countries, states, or islands, instead of being quarantined, stressed, or depressed for 15 months due to cruise cancelations and high percentage of Covid-19 infections & deaths of seniors like us.

The good news in Nevada and other US states is that the vacccine against Covid-19 is now available to almost everybody, or  ages 16 and above, immediately after Easter Sunday or April 5; but not around the world, especially in Third World or emerging countries, where the victims of Covid variants are rising.

Hence, woe to the world from now on because the Coronavirus may be controlled but not stopped from emerging because its strain shall be with us until the end of time.

2. China is poised to rule the world as scheduled in 2030, says Elon Musk who is trying to win China back as Tesla's biggest market in advance by lavishing praise on its economic and climate goals which promised to drastically reduce the country's emissions over the next decade or so; Trump is out; and China considers Biden weak, ineffective, and non-presidential, inspite of being aided by Wall Street billionaires, mainstream media, and Silicon Valley technocrats, who all bow down to the clutches and economic might of Communist China (not just economically with its 1st quarter GDP growing 20%, but militarily by invading or annexing in the near future Taiwan and the strategic and oil-rich trillion dollar South China Sea trade route) while extending their grip in the world economy not just in Asia but more so in Europe, the Pacific, South America, and Africa as the manufacturing capital of the world, which still grew its economy, and did not experience an economic recession unlike the US, EU & the rest of the world due to the pandemic it caused (contrary  to WHO''s findings; while study claims that the Coronavirus started circulating in China in October 2019,) because of its Silk Road & Economic Belt Initiative globally, which shields China from blame, and possibly claims & compensation.

In fact majority of Russians and international epidemiologists believe that the coronavirus is a bio-weapon developed in, escaped from, and spread through a Chinese lab in Wuhan and not from a Wuhan wet market; but unlike WHO, the ongoing international investigations will not see the light of day because of China's non-cooperation.

Suffice to say, that the Wuhan Coronavirus was a game-changer for China's might globally in paralyzing the whole world to its knees, especially its number one competition to global supremacy-- the United States of America, which has the most Covid deaths of more than half a million of its population.

In doing so, China has emerged as the center of power in the world stage by exposing USA's vulnerabilities, highlighting its economic prowess, military might, and by helping Americans elect a socialist VP in Kamala Harris, who together with fellow socialists Sanders & AOC and Democratic power grabs Pelosi & Schumer were behind Mr. Potato Head & Sleepy Joe Biden, who is the weakest President in the history of the United States, according to political broadcaster Mark Levin.

3. Biden, however, cannot be underestimated because he will do anything to the dictates of his socialist & Marxist advisers in order to leave his legacy, which is not just Democratic socialism but his brand of Marxism, which is different from CCP or Chinese Communist Party, but the same Marxist philosophy which was responsible for atheism, and millions of deaths in the course of world history, no matter how disastrous it will be to our nation.

While the Democrats' 2nd impeachment trial against Trump did not prosper after he left office, in order for Democrats to prevent him from running again as POTUS in 2024 because of his enormous showing of people's power after being voted by 75 million Americans,  and the storming of the Capitol building  in front of our very own eyes that were glued on TV in real-time, Biden's Democratic and socialist dictators are not taking any chances of a possible reversal of opportunity in the coming elections in 2022 and 2024 by allowing their future voter constituents, amnesty seekers, or the illegal immigrants to the US numbering 30 million people at the last count, and those who are still coming had been emboldened to come through the US unfinished border wall, through Biden's invitation to asylum seekers which resulted in a border crisis of fake migrants from terrorist countries, or illegal immigrants who are there with young children during the pandemic, where one out of 10 persons have the Coronavirus, unaccompanied kids or teens who were victims of drug runners, prostitution rings & other illegal trades; the changes in US election laws of each state (but thank God for Georgia!) into a federally mandated revision allowing no voter registration IDs for the electorate; and removing the filibuster in Congress thereby getting all Democrats agenda and wish list pass the House and Senate by a simple majority, which shall e weaken not just the election laws of the land but every bill that passes Congress, including getting the Democrats two more senators by making the US capital Washington DC a state, which is run by majority of Democrats. It does not matter if the enemies of the country are laughing at us, or don't want to listen to our human rights moral imperatives during the Alaska debacle, or uniting around China which seeks the demise of the United States as the world's number one superpower by forging alliances with Russia, Iran, Syria & North Korea  through its soft power and Silk Road & Economic Belt Initiative, because America's decline is also happening from within the Biden & Harris Administration, that our enemies are privy of.

Quo vadis America? Whatever happened to the religious country that would-be legal immigrants to the richest and most powereful country in the world was full of promise for me when I came to this country 40 years ago, and giving up my Filipino citizenship by being naturalized as a US citizen after the birth of my children Osbert & Claire-Voe, attending a Marriage Encounter Weekend with my wife Gie, and resolved to do the following things that I wrote in my old diary in order to prosper in this "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave," while getting closer to my Lord & Savior Jesus Christ by:

A. Seeing Him everyday in my family, friends, relatives, colleagues, and strangers by watching them smile, laugh, cry, or unfold the Spirit or Wisdom of the Lord by communing with nature and watching the sunrise, sunset, raindrops, sleet, snow, birds, flowers, trees, moonbeams, and shooting stars;

B.  Listening to Him in the Sacred Scriptures or through meditation at least an hour a day;

C. Letting the day go by without judging others and myself;

D. Bringing a gift wherever I go, and whoever I meet whether it be a smile, a compliment, a toy, a flower, a prayer, or a book; 

E. Thanking the Lord for all His everyday gifts and blessings such us the air we breathe, the food we eat, the work we accomplished, the compliments we received, and all material and spiritual wealth He bestows on me and my family;

F. Showing care, affection, appreciation, and love to everyone, in deed, or simply silently wishing them joy, happiness, and laughter;

G. Sharing my time, money, or goods to the poor, the sick, the oppressed, and the abused & abandoned children;

H. Summoning the Holy Spirit or the Wisdom of God for awareness in all the choices I make every moment;

I. Asking the Lord Jesus to show me the consequences of my choices as to whether they will bring fulfillment and happiness to me and those who will be affected by my choice;

J. Waiting for my Father's guidance by listening to His message of comfort or discomfort in my heart, and then pausing and seeing the consequences of my action in my conscience before plunging into action;

K. Helping carry Christ's Cross by accepting myself, people, things, situations, the way they are, not as an end, or the way I want them to be at the moment, without resistance or arguments;

L. Taking responsibility of situations by not blaming God, myself, or others when problems or crisis arise,  but rather looking at them as opportunities or blessings in disguise;

M. It's up to the Lord, or trusting God so that I may not feel the need of convincing others to accept my point of view, or defending my stand on an issue;

N. Creating harmony in my life by not wasting my energy in the pursuit of power to feed my ego, or gain approval from, and control of other people; and

O. Forgiving myself, and even God instead of blaming Him, or people who have done me wrong or committed injustices against me when I was young, or even today when love ones or unlovable people spread malicious lies and untruths about me, without knowing the real facts; so help me God.
