I first discovered you on an interview with Kevin Barrett. Near the end of the interview, you talked about how all of your work and experiences had just kinda exhausted you. It was one of the most real moments I’ve heard in that type of conversation. Take a break if you must. It all gets to be so overwhelming at times, especially these times.
I have this thing I do, an attempt at humor, in which I say the worst thing possible. My wife hates it, but men understand it and I always get a laugh.
For instance, we were at a funeral home visitation. I walked up on my father-in-law while someone was telling him about Aunt Mabel and how the doctors had to cut off her legs.
I knew it had to be about diabetes, but I said, why, did she keep running away?
All the men thought it was hilarious. The ladies didn't appreciate it at all.
You could adopt a pseudonym, tell everyone you're a guy, and it would be fine.
I believe that to be a good trait, because if something is funny, no matter the category, label, or situation, it is STILL funny. This reminds me of the time my mom came to visit me in California. I/we (my ex and I) took my mom to Palm Springs hoping to take the cable car ride up to the top of Mount San Jacinto, which has a lovely view as I recall. Well, my mom refused to get on the able car, but (especially since I'd already bought, not particularly inexpensive tickets for all of us) I convinced her to let me give her a hug before we left. Being a very small woman it was very easy for me to simply pick my mom up and place her within the cable car. Once we all arrived at the top mom loved the view and the snow which was abundant near the restaurant where we were visiting. I walked out onto a platform alongside this restaurant and mom followed close behind me. Not being accustomed to being in or around snow or ice, mom slipped and fell on her well padded butt, but bounced in a peculiar and comical manner. Naturally I guffawed, because it was FUNNY. Of course I 1st asked if she was OK, which she was. ...Only her pride was injured. I had to explain to her if I had fallen and if she had laughed, I would, if not injured, have surely laughed as well and would expect anyone viewing the incident to laugh as well. Funny is funny!
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has admitted that people who received Covid mRNA “vaccines” are at risk of suffering from a deadly blood clot for up to 15 years after they received their last injection.
The shocking admission was revealed in a new peer-reviewed study published in the prestigious International Journal of Innovative Research in Medical Science.
According to the study, the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research admits that the “regulatory window of concern” for a novel genetic product, such as Covid mRNA “vaccines,” is 5-15 years.
Worryingly, the admission suggests that the vaccinated population may be facing a wave of surging blood clots as the Covid shots were only rolled out for public use roughly four years ago.
The study suggested this means fatal pulmonary hemorrhage should be considered a potential “consequence of the novel product even months to years after the last injection.”
The research was conducted by renowned American cardiologist Dr. Peter A. McCullough and prominent epidemiologist Nicolas Hulscher, MPH.
Well, today I called 2 'supposed' sales clerks morons at a jewelry kiosk near where I live. I suspect that I didn't say that loud enough because there seemed to be no response whatsoever from either of them.
I love that we have managed to reclaim the word retarded from the word nazis. I use the term mentally retarded as an accurate insult to people under deep mind control who believe palpably absurd & false things. I use it in full knowledge that just a few years ago I was myself mentally retarded by all the false programming I had been subjected to
Weren't we all? Hell, it took me a few decades come to recognize that the U.S. and practically all of Western Civilization has become and remains Zionist Occupied Governments! Yup, most of the world has been ZOGged, largely via Central Banks and The Federal Reserve, along with the IRS (in the U.S.). Also, Zionism DOES INDEED = Satanism. Would ya like a little Biblical proof? Well, sport, here ya go: See: 1st Thessalonians, Chapter 2, Verses 14 through 15 (which states paraphrased): 'They (the Jews) have made themselves the enemies of all humanity." Now, I'll admit that Jesus did speak specifically of the scribes and Pharisees of His day. But, Judaism in and of itself, is, in my view, and in the view of many others whose eyes have been opened, a Satanic religion/political organization that IS bent (in more than one way) upon world domination and/or world destruction!.
At times, I too enjoy bawdy humor, especially if it requires a bit of intellectual interpretation. There's an Aussie site, which I like, called 'Funny Shit,' which you might enjoy checking out. There are a few, 'gems,' to be found there. Being an engineer, I especially liked that particular category of jokes and tales.
Men like rough stuff. I know I do. Rough housing used to be common parlance. I guess political correctness did away w/ defending toxic masculinity. But I'd never mistake Celia's writing persona for a man's. She wants more cat time. More snuggle stuff. I get it. That's my girl.
The world needs more people with a sense of humor like the 'assumed' doctor in the clip. Thanks. ;-) I cannot imagine not being able to laugh at myself or others, if the situation IS funny!
Those of us ( many of us now) are circling the black hole of the Matrix that is obvious to anyone not in a coma.
I sometimes feel like it’d be ok to slip into fantasy land for a while and not ‘see’ the things that used to be shadows, but now are fully formed monsters. That said, I can’t unsee what I see. So I have to process it, and find some place to put it until I can do that.
Your observations and thoughts are very much welcome and a a big part of what keeps me from letting go and being swallowed by the illusion.
John, I miss you and we must talk! I will take responsibility, call you on Skype, so if you get a call from an odd number, it's me. I need you to consult with me about my article from 2017 about Guy, with you quoted, wonderful quotes. I hope you will endorse it. But also we just have to catch up. Isn't is amazing how good we have become at living in a perpetual monster-scape, with nothing even concealed anymore?
Very well said. For me, Celia is like a rope thrown out of the boat when I'm tired of swimming. It's just helpful to know other people are out here wading through the same muck while retaining their essential humanness. Their soul. That they haven't swallowed the diet of lies that everyday I hear repeated and believed by the gullible fallen that enter into each of my days. Celia is one of those humane souls. And people who get Celia are also humane souls.
I adore how real you are and that you share it with us. Please continue to be your authentic self as you seem to say you want to do, not idealizing or sanitizing, "that's the main thing". Yes, Celia, I am fully with you there.
LOL.. when I got done w/ the Pinball machine it knew I was here TO WIN. :) got the scars to prove it and tilted many a machine: ROFL. in all seriousness I used to LOVE PLAYING PINBALL.. life is good.. good night
Dearest Celia, I love every piece you write. You are my lode star. It took me a while to get a paid subscription to Truth Barrier because initially I compared you to other writers and the way you talked to me (like a friend) in your writings made it seem a strange bargain to pay for your words. However now, having been with you a while, I find your substack is the one I value over ALL others. Everything that has happened this 2025 has been SO much that it's overwhelming mentally. I find your takes on what is happening invaluable. (I also love your cat stories and musings about life in general. I cant wait to read your new book). You are a brilliant thinker. We need you. But if you need to take a break (and you probably do) then please do so. Or else incorporate sonething into your daily routine that involves a few hours of real life. Sending you lots of love xxxxxx
Caroline, you just helped me more than you know. "Help" is when you can feel a person's connection and words and you know it's not any kind of flattery, and it helps you know where you are going, and why. When I think I am out of my depth with all that is happening in Matrix 1 and Matrix 2, I will think of this letter. It's taken me decades, to arrive at this, and I have a feeling this time, it won't be taken from me, as all other potentialities and opportunities have been. That's part of my story that I still want to tell, for all the others who have the same predicament. God bless you, truly.
What I love about your substack is that the medium has given you license to riff. And report. And analyze. Post yourself playing drums if you want. Do whatever. It's your home and we're all just pleased as punch to be invited in.
Too many brain damaged in modern times, don't "get" hyperbole or satire or symbolism or "drawing imagery with words". They read the words you write. They do not read "into" the words you write. They do not interpret.
I think George Carlin, gone but SURELY not forgotten stand up comedian, was right bout several things, but SURELY not all. I think his view of many (maybe even most people) was right, that being that a huge percentage of people are just plain F'ing STUPID! That, while being very sad in one sense, is also rather funny! I live in a place that is inhabited by an unwelcome large number of ultra-religious koo kooz. I see most, but not all, of them as people from, 'Absurdistan.' Oh. look, there's goes another man from Absurdistan! Every once in a while one of them will actually make some sense. Hallelujah, what a miracle!
"Be impeccable with your word," is one of The Four Agreements (don Miguel Ruiz), which to me is one of the most beautiful books of wisdom, and how to live. A much better Bible, to me. Less is more. That said (written), don Miguel Ruiz (https://www.miguelruiz.com/) works in his own ways, as each of us does, and as you do Celia. There comes a time when we must love ourselves more than we torture ourselves, lest we kill ourselves, whether we are laughing or not; whether we are understood or not. It is a balancing act. We live and learn.
Whatever a soul actually is, I send you my love Celia. Go easy. You are not responsible for saving humanity. Love yourself above everything.
Celia I hope you continue doing as you feel moved to do ~ your last piece reflected what for so many of us actually and ironically keeps us feeling sane. Thank you. Plus I adore my cats, so resilience thereto. 🐈🐈⬛
My mother's favorite food was frog legs. I never went near one except on occasion to use a frog for bait. Mom never turned into a frog. So it goes with a balanced mind. Not attainable by thinking about it. Surrender mind to its source and suddenly, mysteriously, all is well? Just jump into the water and see.

Exactly...you're very real Celia...its what we need right now 🙏

Doug would love that. I'll send it to him. I thought it was funny! I have no sense of whether humor is inappropriate. 🤔
The one wherein a discussion taking place between 3 engineers, most importantly one of them having been a Civil Engineer, really cracked me up.

I miss inappropriate jokes.
We’re allowed to say “retarded” again. It’s a small thing but I take my wins where I can. 😂
My son said during an argument on Christmas Day: "So...let me see if I got this straight. You can call yourself a moron but I can't call you a moron?"
"Exactly," I said.

Also, BEING TOTALLY SERIOUS HERE, take a good close and attentive look/listen at what Benjamin H. Freedman had to say about the Zionists in 1961 at the Willard Hotel in Washington, D.C. here: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=Benjamin+H.+Freedman%27s+1961+speech&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D-dRd3Ajiu4Q
Also remember what nominal Jew, Stanley Kubrick, of film directorial fame said, "Adolf Hitler was right about almost everything."
When asked my occupation I say "retarded. You know, no responsibilities and happy all the time".
Lol! It took me a second to get it. I’m retarded too.
I never stopped unless I was my 19 year old daughter was in ear shot. 😕
When I was growing up, in the late '50's and '60's, we called them 'retreads.' That term often went unnoticed by said retreads.
At times, I too enjoy bawdy humor, especially if it requires a bit of intellectual interpretation. There's an Aussie site, which I like, called 'Funny Shit,' which you might enjoy checking out.

Perhaps you actually were born a frog but were kissed.
Celia,
You are not alone here.

There's always cognitive dissonance!
