4th of July Wisdom
Documentaries + Male/Female Brain
Greetings to all,
Fireworks have been going on for a couple of days, and will probably continue during the weekend. Fortunately, my daughter’s dog is not bothered by them, unlike my late Pitbull, who would hide wherever she could to escape the noise.
When and how did fireworks originate and evolve over time?
Fireworks have a rich and fascinating history that spans over 2,000 years. From their origins in ancient China to their modern-day displays, fireworks have evolved significantly over the centuries.
Ancient China (200 BC)
The earliest recorded use of fireworks dates back to ancient China during the Han Dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD). According to legend, fireworks were invented by Chinese alchemists who were experimenting with gunpowder, a mixture of saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal. They discovered that by filling bamboo tubes with gunpowder and then igniting them, they could create a loud explosion and a burst of sparks.
Middle Ages (600-1500 AD)
Fireworks spread to the Middle East and Europe during the Middle Ages. They were used primarily for military purposes, such as signaling and intimidating enemies. The first recorded use of fireworks in Europe was during the coronation of Charlemagne in 800 AD.
Renaissance and Baroque (1500-1800 AD)
During the Renaissance and Baroque periods, fireworks became a popular form of entertainment for the wealthy and royal families. They were used to celebrate special occasions such as weddings, coronations, and military victories. Fireworks displays became more elaborate, with the addition of colorful chemicals and pyrotechnic devices.
Modern Era (1800-Present)
In the 19th century, the introduction of new ingredients such as magnesium and aluminum greatly enhanced the brightness and variety of fireworks displays. The development of modern fireworks technology has made it possible to create complex and intricate displays, including shells, rockets, and fountains.

In conclusion, the history of fireworks is a fascinating story that spans centuries and continents. From their humble beginnings in ancient China to their modern-day displays, fireworks have evolved significantly over time, becoming an integral part of many cultural and celebratory traditions.
Some people believe that this may be the last 4th of July we get to celebrate, if we don’t wake up.
This week, I watched 2 documentaries:
All Wars Are Bankers’ Wars, quite eye opening on how we have become slaves to the banking system, how wars keep adding $$$ to their coffers… and sorrows to families.
As an aside, I just got pitch from a bank offering me a credit card at 35.99% interest. How insane is that? Isn’t it usury?
Zeitgeist. I must have watched this movie when it first came out in 2007. It’s a documentary in 3 parts, covering many subjects. The beginning was a bit disconcerting.
Part 1 is about the hold religion has upon us and about universal symbols/stories. Watch/listen, without judgment, do your own research, and decide for yourself.
Part 2 is about 9/11, which I mentioned I became involved with after my eyes were opened to corruption during my divorce. It is during that period that I had the chance to speak with the late Ted Gunderson, a whistleblower from the FBI. Listen to what he has to say.
Part 3 is about wars, banking, education and entertainment. It is mentioned that people would be chipped by 2008. We have been able to push that back, yet it’s still on the books.
Today’s woke culture wants us to believe that a girl can be a boy and a boy can be girl, through horrendous surgeries. To my understanding, there are some 1500 different traits between male and female anatomy, physiology, gene expressions, etc., not just the outward and obvious appearances (breasts and genitals).
Just observing the behavior of males and females shows us that men- and women’s brains are different.
Although this is a comedy, it does have some truth.

Live with PASSION, PURPOSE and DELIGHT!
