What a well-written post and so relatable, Naomi. Similarly, my husband and I elected to “escape” from California nearly 10 years ago, primarily because the place, even back then, had changed to the point we no longer felt we belonged there. Mind you, both my parents were born there and my maternal grandfather literally walked there from Texas as a young child, alongside his parents in a covered wagon when they could not keep their cattle alive due to a devastating Texas draught at the turn of the last century. While I have lived in other places during my adult life, we always made our way back to California because it was our home and always so beautiful. But just as you chose to leave South Bronx, we eventually chose to leave Southern California for Florida, even before it became a well-worn migration path. We have no intention of going back this time. We truly love our new life in Florida and we indeed feel we belong here. To ensure Florida remains the land of the free, I now dedicate my “spare” time to leading a grassroots educational group that I founded in 2015 called We the People of Northeast Florida. This group deliberately flies under the radar (by invitation only), so you won’t find us on the internet, yet we have hundreds of dedicated and passionate members. Every month we have amazing speakers on hot topics related to civics, elections, education, government, healthcare, etc. It’s a place where everyone is welcome to speak freely and is treated respectfully. We’d love to have you speak to We the People of Northeast Florida, Naomi, if you ever want a break from New York (perhaps in the cold months of winter?). There are many of us here who share your perspectives. Again, bless you for sharing your story.

Great column. I have been a Pat Buchanan “peasant with a pitchfork” for 30 + years. I am used to elites of both parties mocking me & squashing common sense. Out of Afghanistan now into Ukraine. Forever wars.

It is obviously worse now that old ladies have to let men in their locker room showers & confused little kids are medical guinea pigs.

We still must trust God, do good & pray for our country.

Naomi,
Welcome to a kinder “world”, where people accept and love each other (hopefully) with a humility that understands that we are all created human beings – with no inherent superiority or sense of deserving! The old “world” is just the opposite – demand for control, meanness, underlying anger, inhumanity.
Dvorak’s New World Symphony is a musical picture of finally finding a true home. It sounds like you have found yours – may the Lord bless you! I hope you find a home that will never disappoint – Further Up and Further In! Abraham was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. {Hebrews 11:10}
C.S. Lewis says it best – “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy,
the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.”

Thank you Naomi Wolf for being among the first to give to give us the gift of truth on the subject of forced vaccinations. My three grown daughters and I were skeptics from the beginning, but through you and a few others we now have the actual facts. I enjoyed reading about your journey to the truth and the reality we all face now, in today’s world.

In reply to WhatTheJewsKnow@gmail.com.

Fascinating comments. As a non-Jew I would appreciate the favor of an explanation better suited to a lay audience.

Writing more than 3,ooo years ago onward, the Jewish Sages detailed in their esoteric texts what actually is occurring in our world today, now in the year 5782.

Precisely.

And it is a false world, עַלמָא דְשִׁקְרָא, and it is racing to its conclusion.

Evil has succeeded extraordinarily thus far because it has successfully eliminated God Almighty from public and much private knowledge and discourse. The Left’s entire agenda is against God, even to the point of being nonsensical and ridiculous. Good people haven’t a clue as to what is occurring because God and Godliness are, via gentlemen’s agreement, taboo, forbidden, the stuff of social discomforture.

On Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, we plead with God Almighty the Creator, Giver of Life:

תַעֲבִיר מֶמְשֶׁלֶת זָדוֹן מִן הָאָרֶץ
Remove the Conspiracy of Evil from the earth.

He will. The Sabbatical Year is nearly over.

Such a wonderful comment on our lives today. I appreciate Naomi Wolf and her courage to name our prison guard and celebrate her new awareness. I am trying to be more brave in my own world about my own observations, seen over decades; where my values, politics, religion and community changed. I live in a blue state and had an ‘outsider’ experience while teaching in public schools, not because I infused lessons with any political slant, but because I taught them at all. Teaching history from amazingly good, new history curriculum was not accepted in our district; it was a rebellious act to be denounced in every way except using the word ‘forbidden’. My students learned about freedoms, wrote what they learned about their protected rights in their own words, and enjoyed it. I even caught them acting out scenes from the Civil War at recess, when I was called to settle an argument between two students who had take the parts of Grant and Lee. So funny! I did not know of ONE other teacher at the school teaching the history curriculum; all were told, ‘You don’t have time for it.’ When my students did well on standardized tests, I found out that the rumor was I was cheating, giving them answers, because it didn’t match their low expectations for our students. I loved teaching, loved my students and their humble, wonderful parents. My husband and I are planning our move to a red state to join one of our sons and his family who moved a year ago. Two of our sons are in red states now. I don’t know how else to survive emotionally and socially, even spiritually, although I belong to a conservative church. This last week I listened to someone take advantage of a speaking opportunity to declare what a great leader Zelensky was, hold up his picture, describe all his sterling qualities, and demand we all hold him in high esteem. Too depressing.

Powerful; poignant and beautifully written. You humanize the passage and meaning of time like no other.
But like David Horowitz (and, in the most ancient comparison, Abraham himself) you’ve crossed over to the other side and now, obviously comfortable, prolific and eminently convincing about your current view of the world you once famously inhabited and, though wholly well-meaning, somewhat naively helped to develop, see the decrepit, self-serving and self-destructive, pseudo-liberalism — the old Jacobin-inspired Left in all its shameless and odious, blood-thirsty and aimless nihilism and anarchy — to champion, rather, a relatively truer, more authentic, much closer to real, better world for all.
