First thing - my website is down until I fix it, which could take a day or so.

But for now, a sincere welcome to a new subscriber to this newsletter...and thanks to those who have been supportive over the years.

There's a lot going on in the world - so much that even though I do hours of research, it's impossible to cover everything.

One thing that is a big help though, is feedback and emailed suggestions from subscribers.

That's because it always gives me an insight into what you find of interest - so I read all incoming emails, follow the links, and it always helps in deciding what to focus on.

Today is a great example of that.

An astute observer sent me a link that puts a real face to a person I have followed on X/Twitter and Telegram and quoted in this newsletter for some time. Ezra Cohen Watnik.

There are variations on that name on social media, so I have been cautious in reporting what has been posted, because even though I have checked the credentials of one of them, there are many fake posters on social media. They might purloin someone's name, which gives the impression of authenticity, when they are in fact questionable in their intent, to say the least.

As for the following video, aside from it having been produced by true professionals with equipment and skills far beyond what I have, it includes the real Ezra Cohen Watnik - and an uplifting message throughout. It's about the past, present, and future.

It's about this.....
