WATCH: Giving Thanks – #SolutionsWatch
As those in the reality-based community know, we live in dark times. But if we cannot acknowledge the good that is in our lives, then what are we fighting for?
Join James Corbett for this week’s edition of #SolutionsWatch as he explores the whys and hows of giving thanks and cultivating a spirit of gratitude.
Sources, shownotes and links – as well as audio versions and download options – can be found here. Previous episodes of #SolutionsWatch can be found here and here.

i actually thank Life frequently, certain days on the hill, vistas, nature; ma dug doing his mad runs, flicking his paws and pointy heid out; the wee kingfisher i saw unexpectedly; courteous drivers, people who show consideration; …. i deeply appreciate these moments.
otherwise i’m in berserker mode, with “society”, so i have to thank Life’s joys as they arise.
Yes. I am thankful they didn’t just kill me when I was born but instead injected me with a poison that permanently damaged my body.. Maybe I shouldn’t be so ungrateful and think of how worse it could have been. Hurray for gratitude!
Being a pessimist, I’m always skeptical of talk of gratitude and thankfulness. Who exactly are we to be thankful to?
If we get to be a super-centenarian, would it be our genes? our parents’ genes?
If we do very well and live very comfortably, would it be our society? our government? or would it be the millions who were robbed of their well being to provide us with “the good life?”
Should I say “thanks pal!” to a starving peasant in the Third World for the oatmeal I had for breakfast?
Being “thankful” seems to be a concoction of, and a luxury afforded recipients of, colonial largesse.
Maybe it’s just a bit overdone?
A favourite choice at funerals! Many appear to view the lyrics as optimistic and uplifting, but obviously intended ironically in the Monty Python film, ‘Life of Brian’.
‘Always look on the bright side of life’: be grateful and light-hearted — and don’t forget to whistle — in the face of doom and death!
Certainly, it’s good to have a laugh, a joke and a song and dance!

My older brother like me, – brought up as a Catholic cheered me up at his funeral 10 years ago, when he deliberately chose a humanist funeral (no prayers for the living dead) – he was always a bright spark, with ‘Always look on the bright side of life’ as the exit song.
He knew it would make me laugh, even if most of the rest of our Catholic family didn’t approve.
It was his funeral.
Re the living dead (and the dead) try this. The world’s gone mad, and it will hit us all very soon, if it’s not stopped. Almost no one in the UK or USA has a clue, or cares about what’s going on. Almost all brainwashed. Even worse than 9/11.
“Ukraine is about to be annihilated”
A good video.
But so many people have forgotten what intelligent conversation and informed commentary look like.
The propaganda in the mainstream media is merciless and relentless.
“Putin bad, Russia bad.”
“Zelensky good, Ukraine good.”
Those are the only mantras which most of our benighted species require.
It’s really difficult to be optimistic under such circumstances, but at least we get some actual explanations from Colonel MacGregor.
He’s not a ‘putinbot’ by any means, but he can see as well as I can that what has been building up in Eastern Ukraine for a long time is something that any Russian leader with concerns for his country’s future would have to address.
The US, the UK and, frankly, any European country would do exactly the same in a position similar to Putin’s.
MacGregor makes a good case for the likelihood of Ukraine being annihilated, but one mustn’t underestimate NATO’s (the US’s) capacity to raise funds which it doesn’t actually own, and get Congressional approval to send them all to Ukraine for the foreseeable future…
For orientation and reference, see various wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and a large bunch of other countries which are actually none of the US’s business…
And the US really knows it, however strong the denial.
Not thankful but disappointed that Corbett has taken this turn, akin to prayer and ‘hopium’. Is he running out of ideas for his ‘Solutions Watch’ series?
Gratitude Journals are Oprahesque!
Yes, show gratitude as and when appropriate, but don’t make a ritual out of it! This is a distraction.
Hardly anyone actually seems to be commenting on James Corbett’s actual topic (I had already listened to it via his website The Corbett Report). It is really a lovely message, and very uplifting. In the midst of all the evil and the malignant powers at work in the world, try to find things that you ARE grateful for. They might be very small things, or just individuals who show love and caring. Or it might be your own resilience and ability to learn from what you see and experience. Why bother? Because it can help keep you from being demoralized and so miserable you give up trying. It was a fascinating change from much of James Corbett’s usual focus, and well worth thinking about. I am thankful I listened to it. And I am thankful I have Off Guardian to read each morning and where I occasionally make comments!
I agree mjh. I count my many blessings every day.
Count your blessings every day? Who blesses you? Surely just luck if you happen to be fortunate compared to the desolate? Why would you be ‘blessed’ more than anyone else?
Gratitude will not remove the parasites.
Gibberish:

1 billion global elites? The population of the world in 2021 was estimated at just under 8 billlion. So “1 billion global elites” (assuming that each “elite” is a single person) means an eighth of the entire population!
These media articles are descending into sheer nothingness.
Fauci ‘Can’t Recall Practically Anything’ in 7-Hour Deposition
During seven hours of questioning under oath relating to a lawsuit alleging he and other Biden administration officials colluded with social media companies to censor COVID-19-related content, Dr. Anthony Fauci said he had “no clear memory of details that would shed light on his involvement in speech suppression.”…
https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/anthony-fauci-deposition-speech-suppression/
Of course he can’t remember. Liars have an interesting way of “forgetting” the truth. They just keep changing the current lie to cover up the previous lie. After a while it’s all just a blur…
Congress doesn’t remember saying anything either, because the NIH, CDC, and other lobby groups pay their lunch…
I thought they water boarded terrorists to extract the truth?
Probably oxygen deprivation from wearing that idiotic face diaper, as well as some side effects from his vaccine…..
The sad truth is he’ll get away with it and anyone who says he’s just another lying criminal will be told they’re just being mean, after all, he’s an old man now, and if he just can’t remember we should all be sympathetic to that…. There is so much brilliance in his head what’s a little forgetfulness in an open court. And really, how dare anyone question him – he’s the God of The Science, after all.

OFFICIAL UK DOCUMENT FROM THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH REVEALS CONVID NEVER EXISTED (26/11/2022, SGT Report)
Video
https://www.sgtreport.com/2022/11/official-uk-document-from-the-ministry-of-health-reveals-convid-never-existed/
Yes, yes. This has been shown and known in every country that has freedom of information requests for years now. Yet the narrative keeps steamrolling on.
What’s next?
Yes, but, but, but, but, but, the site provides “news and entertainment for people who love America”???
I like her direct style, but, for a start, she’s Irish, so what on earth is she doing on a site involved in “loving America”?
Frankly, America horrifies me, but perhaps SGT Report is thinking of the country’s natural beauty . . .
At any rate I’d like to see that document.
I’d REALLY like to see that document . . .
Okay, I’ve seen it.
Has anybody done anything about it?
It’s dated last January.
yeah this is ancient. you are right.
Hancock reputedly to make nearly half a million for coming third on a reality TV programme:

“Graft, bribery, payola and kick back come in many forms.”
“Cull Juice the World!”
“Corporate Fascism and Eugenics forever!”
It’s payback for killing granny..
Thanks giving is a heart attack on a plate and immune system destroyers wet dream.
Funny how after Thanks givings many seem to get ill.

Why might the Fraud want fewer men eating meat? Gosh, that’s a tough one….
BTW I wouldn’t deny that Western diets have been too acidic and meat is part of that. People should eat more green veg and other sources of alkalinity. However that’s obviously not what’s going on here. They’ll never report how much cancer would be prevented by reductions in EMF radiation or toxic chemicals. Finally, what an amazing coincidence that the figure happens to be yet another Freemasonic master number!
Thank you, Fraudian….
Eating meat might knock a few years off your life, but it will also give you a better quality of life in the time that you are alive, provided you avoid processed shite and eat plenty of organic veg as well. I’d rather live for a shorter time and be stronger, fitter and healthier than for a long time as the pale, weak, vegan semi-men that I know.
https://www.theplantway.com/vegan-athletes/
eating plant-based makes you weak?!?!
People still believe this myth?
Grains, veg, milk, meat, etc. have all gone down in quality or been poisoned.The cull has been in operation for a long time.
https://off-guardian.org/2022/02/16/the-unseen-environmental-crises-destroying-humanity/
Just as the public becomes aware of one scandal, they impose another crisis to distract and censor.
Perhaps the Fraud is scared of a meat-only diet resulting in a heightened IQ like Jordan’ Peterson’s… Not that he made any such link himself.
A better time to give thanks will be when all attendees of Davos have sat on death row, been given a plate of bugs as their last meal and been hung by the neck until dead.
Then we can celebrate.
I’d pay good money to see that 😀

“Next Covid strain may be more dangerous than Omicron, study finds”
(mint, although it is certainly not fresh)
Same as it ever was.
I’m still puzzling over a question by Mitsuko Uchida: “To whom do I say, Thank you?”
Firstly the infinite inwardness, next your Mom, and lastly the vast expanse.
Thanks, I’ll buy that. So might Uchida because: in an interview she thanked her mother for not being a Tiger Mom and forcing young Mitsuko to practice; and “infinite inwardness” sounds appropriately oriental.
Enjoyed watching/listening to Mitsuko. Absolute master of the piano and music and making faces.
I suspect she’s a secret samurai warrior . . .
I met her once at a piano competition when we were both young, and I mentioned my fingernails being the type which detach from the skin rather easily when playing loud chords. (Yes, “ouch!”)
She said she had sometimes experienced a similar problem, and the answer was just “to play through the pain” . . .
She’s really something . . .
I think she actually knows the answer.
Rotten bitch.
They might only need 1 or 2 employees to monitor that right now.
That’s if the A.I. requires maintenance….
Everyone out of their holes and caves! Show us your face. No need to hide any longer and plot in the darkness. Out in the open and tell the unwashed their future. You have nothing to fear! It is time to show your real face, Dorian
Herself excluded, of course…
It’s a new breed.
I started looking for the queen parasite’s nest about 20 years ago – without success – but the workers and drones are beginning to show themselves now.
We have our work cut out. They’re everywhere.
Imagine having her as mother-in-law….
I’ll have to remember this.
Here’s part 26 of the superb Fall of the Cabal series. It’s quite disturbing and wraps up by discussing the Deagel population forecasts for 2025. If these forecasts (plans) are correct, then most of us will be dead by then so we don’t have to worry anymore about anything:

But death may be just the beginning…

are there no auditors or budget inspectors for government grants in England?
All bought and paid for corrupt scumbags.

Ain’t Greed grand?
Inspector Knacker should be paying a visit to this family.
Formally they’re an asset but informally, which is closer to the truth, they are parasites who get a huge chuck of tax payer funded government money.
that’s the scot bra queen, who fled scotland calling us names, and became a peer? something like that. an utter cunt by many accounts.
Maybe because I’m in the belly of the beast here in the US, with inescapable holiday rituals once again assaulting us, but I’m simply not in the mood. I know I could use a good dose of an ‘attitude of gratitude’, etc., etc., but hollow shows of hopium in this (stolen) land of plenty of shopping malls and supermarkets, and churches, atop mounds of rotting bodies, just get in the way. Besides, these days in the new abnormal, it’s all I can do to muster some gallows humor to light my way.
I’d get out in nature more, if I weren’t so poor to have no means at present of getting there. Sometimes I think a joint might help, until I realize the whole day has passed me by as a dazed and confused stream of semi-conscious revelations of momentous nonsense, punctuated by the munchies.
Once again, it’s Sartre I’m thinking of – bad faith, hell is other people, etc., and that if we wake tomorrow to be living under fascism its reality can remain countered by a more conscious commitment to create meaning and value that makes existentialism a humanism. I suppose in that sense I’m thankful to be alive.
There’s nothing at all wrong with the system and our glorious leaders, Klaus Schwab and his bugs, child trannies and rainbow coloured dildos all round, non stop vaxxes and non stop boosters, and if you’re unhappy about any of this, it’s just proof of how maladjusted you are and your lack of positive thinking. A few visits from the Thought Police should get you back on the right track.
Let’s just count our blessings… finished!

The Swiss have just announced a large fall in birthrate for 2022. Funny how nearer the mothership you are, the worse it seems to be….
