Homelessness in America

According to an article published online on NBC NEWS, https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/us-homelessness-hits-highest-reported-level-rents-soar-pandemic-aid-la-rcna130029, homelessness in the United States reached its highest reported levels since counting the homeless population began in 2007.

Currently, 650,000 Americans are homeless, and that number increased by 70,650 since 2022. In total, there was a 12% increase.

Would you like to know what this article is blaming for the reason why? Well, I’m going to tell you anyway.

They’re saying it’s because soaring rent prices and a decline in CV pandemic assistance. Therefore, Marcia Fudge, the Housing and Urban Development Secretary, is claiming there’s an urgent need for proven solutions and strategies that help people quickly.

I thought Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. exposed the issue for poverty in this country in the 1960s. Wasn’t it because of all the money it was costing the American people to fund wars and international military policing agendas?

In addition, billions and billions of American tax-payer money has been sent to the Ukraine to fund their war with Russia. And how much money has been spent on setting up and preparing sanctuary cities for the arrival hundreds of thousands of undocumented illegal immigrants bussed in by our own government?

Who do you think is paying for all that? Think about all the good we could do for our own homeless population if our taxes actually went towards the homeless issue in this country. I guarantee you the decline in pandemic assistance in pennies in comparison.

Well, that’s the dying dinosaur media that has been pulling the wool over the eyes of Americans for decades.

Tell the homeless, “instead of helping you, we decided to help Ukraine, illegal immigrants, and making America the police force of the world, but maybe someone will come up with proven solutions and strategies that work quick.”

Merry Christmas

Here’s something else to think about. How much higher would that number be if you included people like me, adults who would be homeless if they didn’t have parents.

Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to this edition of Nooz Now. This story is one I find interesting, and most of the information come to us from an article published online on The Guardian.

On November 4, 2023, a man named Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava, touched down at LAX, Los Angeles International Airport. Apparently, he was a Russian man who flew from Denmark to Los Angeles via Scandinavian Airlines flight 931 from Copenhagen.

This man had no plane ticket, no passport, and after a US Customs and Border Protection officer decided to check, there was no information of this man on any incoming flight information or the flight manifest itself. He was also in possession of both Russian and Israeli identification.

When US authorities asked him how he got through security in Europe, he told them he forgot.

Ochigava was charged with a federal crime, he pleaded not guilty, and his court date is coming up on December 26th.

Now, I’ve seen enough Jason Bourne movies to know something isn’t right here. An immigrant comes into the country, he’s undocumented, and has no real explanation for who he is or how he got through security. I don’t know, but this situation smells like government spy or assassin to me.

Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to Moon Scope. With the Sun on the 20th degree of Sagittarius and the Moon on the 18th degree, we get a double dose of fire. Emotionally right now, we’re open, adaptive, and willing to go with the flow. There’s an unidentifiable excitement felt within, but with both the Sun and the Moon in Sag, the inside should be like that of the outside, and the outside like that of the inside.

Sagittarius bestows energetic ambition. It’s a freedom-loving sign that absolutely cannot stand being tied down or shackled to responsibility.

With the Moon in the 6th House, service is highlighted. That means service to ourselves, to our country, to our families and children, to god, and to our co-workers. Getting out of old ruts and seeking new ways to bring back a thrill to your life is the theme. For the service to yourself, you may find that you were having better luck when you were in better health.

It’s not a secret anymore, people will treat you the way you treat yourself, so believe me, if you have doubts or insecurities, people will play on them. I noticed when I spent time in the gym I not felt better from a health standpoint, but I felt better about myself, and people treated me better.

Think about it, service. How can you be a better father or mother, a better wife or husband, or how can you treat yourself or others better. This is all the stuff going on deep within the subconscious of our minds, but the Moon’s conjunction with the Sun will grant more will power to make your thoughts and inner emotions a reality.

Tonight’s Moon will be new, that means a fresh cycle is now beginning that will culminate the day after Christmas. From tonight until the Moon is full, it’s a good time to draft a plan that you can put into action. It should be a plan that allows more freedom in the areas of our lives that are highly restrictive.

It’s a challenge, we’re definitely challenging ourselves, but Sagittarius is not only a seeker of challenges, he loves them. Feed that emotional fire that’s burning deep within and let the spirit of freedom guide you to a more exciting life.

Lucky Numbers are 5 and 7, and Purple is the special color.

The 2024 NFL Draft is scheduled for the 25th through the 27th of April, but a look ahead has definitely revealed some excitement for Pittsburgh Steeler fans.

If, and I say if, he’s still available when it’s time for the Steelers to make their first selection, it’s likely they’ll use their 14th pick to acquire WR, Rome Odunze.

I’ve given Rome Odunze the nickname, “Oh Dooms Day,” because he has been a nightmare for opposing defenses this season. Odunze is a star wide receiver for the Washington Huskies. At 6’3″, and 215 pounds, Odunze is big, fast, and physical. After thirteen games, in which Washington finished with a perfect 13-0 record, he caught 81 balls for 1,428 yards and 13 touchdowns.

Washington, currently, is 13-0 and ranked 2nd in the AP Top 25. They had standouts in several positions this season, and one of those was the man responsible for getting Odunze the ball. Quarterback, Michael Penis Jr., was a Heisman Trophy finalist, and obviously one of the best quarterbacks in the country. The Heisman was ultimately awarded to LSU QB, Jayden Daniels on December 9th, but Penix was nothing short of brilliant this season.

He threw for over 4,200 yards and 33 touchdowns. Not bad at all.

This college football season was exciting and fun to watch, and it’s going to be interesting to see where some of this top talent goes in April.

Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and welcome to this December 11, 2023 edition of Nooz Now.

🚓 Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis police officer charged with the 2020 killing of George Floyd was stabbed 22 times in prison. Now, I have an issue with this. Prisons are supposed to be places of rehabilitation.

If you’re accused of committing a crime or breaking the law, and you get arrested, you’re supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. If you’re found guilty in a court of law and your sentence involves prison time, then you’re admitted into a correctional facility. If you get murdered or assaulted while in a prison, then whoever is in charged of that facility should be legally responsible. A prison is supposed to be a place of reform, but how can a prisoner do his time and heal himself if he or she has to fight for their lives?

What’s the difference between vigilante justice, a person getting attacked while still living free in society by an angry person or a mob for the crimes they committed, and a person getting attacked in a prison by another prisoner or a mob for the crimes they committed?

It’s either violence, or it’s the law and the court system. It can’t be both, and for that, the system should be responsible for anyone’s safety who enters their facilities.

😠 Three weeks ago, Hassan Campbell went live on YouTube and made a video that I guess was outside of the apartments he grew up in. There was no evidence of Campbell being shot on the video, but the video ends with him driving to the hospital. This video got a ton of reactions, and I’m not disputing whether or not he was shot, I’m looking at the bigger picture here.

I haven’t been following his whole story, but from the video, Campbell says that he and many other children from his neighborhood were raped by rapper and DJ, Afrika Bambaataa. Campbell was definitely upset, and he clearly states the reasons why in his video. When I saw that video for the first time today, I saw a person yelling out for help. He’s obviously dealing with some very traumatic childhood experiences, and personally, I’m all about healing the inner child.

I just wrote an article on here not long ago about my own healing, and as adults, we forget what it felt like to be a child. We can move forward from those early experiences in life, and we can file them away deep in our subconscious, but that doesn’t always mean the issues are resolved.

From a spiritual perspective, his healing involves inner-child work, and the only way to heal the inner child is to regress until you come face to face with the innocent and scared younger version of yourself. Forgive the younger version of you, tell him he is loved, and tell him he’s safe now.

For Campbell, I suggest he purchase any of the books written about the wounds of Chiron. That’s a good start. I know Campbell’s birthday is August 3, 1976, but I haven’t taken a look at his personal astrology.

What I do know is that he’s 47 years old, his natal Chiron was in Taurus (that will reveal a lot), and Chiron will be completing its first orbit in Hassan’s chart in three years, which makes a lot of sense now that all of this news is coming out about his experiences as a child.

Have a blessed day, and thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet.

The Reality of the Times

December 10, 2023

I’ve been sitting here thinking about my life in terms of where I’m at and where I think I should be. I’m thinking about the fact that I love writing, and how journalism was gift bestowed to me by God himself when I was just six years of age.

I’ve written three books now, and the third I just submitted to be reviewed for publication. It’s a 60,000-word manuscript titled, Smorgasbord 3 Poverty and Prophecy. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in communication with a concentration in journalism, and I’ve been running Nooz Buffet by myself since 2018.

So, why am I working part-time at the Dollar Tree?

Pay attention to what I’m about to write.

There’s a war going on in this country, and I don’t even think some of the people involved realize it. In this country, the United States of America, there are people who are anti-American and anti-constitution. Many of these people work in the mainstream media, for newspapers, for magazines, for television, and now, all over the internet.

Me personally, I Am an American-probably 5th generation. I understand that the United States Constitution is contract between the people of this country and the democratically elected officials we voted into office to serve us.

From that contract, the only form of government capable of serving you as an individual living in the most diverse place in the world was established. It’s called a Constitutional Republic. There are many reasons for why we find ourselves in the situation we’re in at the moment, but the most important reason, has been the failure to uphold, protect, and defend the United States Constitution.

We the People didn’t do that. Our democratically elected officials have been ignoring their duty and responsibility to serve the American public according to the laws spelled out in the Constitution for a very long time. They neglect the Constitution for power and control over the American people, and that’s why things feel the way they do.

I believe in the United States Constitution. I know the Bill of Rights, the First ten amendments, were given to the people of this Nation by our federal government with the promise that they, no matter what, would never be infringed upon. The power to declare war is a power we delegated to our government, but we maintain the right to bear arms to protect our families, our neighborhoods, and god-forbid, our country if it’s necessary.

This isn’t a game.

We as a country sacrificed a lot by placing a government over us, and we did it so they could protect our way of life. We didn’t put them into power to control our lives.

So, the time has come. People in this country are finally awake.

I’m awake, and I have a pretty good idea about how things should be in this country. I’m not a perfect person, but I’m a good person. I’m a fair person, and I can discern between right and wrong and good and bad. As a Journalism major, I feel it is my responsibility to uphold, defend, and protect the first amendment.

I believe in free speech. I don’t believe in censorship. At the very least, there are two sides to every story, and we should be able to hear them all-not only what someone wants us to hear. Blocking or censoring one side or manipulating information in any way is dangerous, but we know that it’s done to persuade public opinion and control the perceptions that people have.

The reason why I’m working at the Dollar Tree should be clear now.

In college I was told that a reporter should only report the facts, and when reporting the news, you CANNOT add your personal opinions or feelings to a story. Then I got into the real world. I graduated college, and quickly, I realized that politically, the democrats had their own media outlets that spin stories in favor of the left, and the republicans had their own news outlets that spin stories in favor of the right.

In order for you to have a successful career as a political journalist in this country, you have to pick a team. I didn’t. The people who pick a team, obviously do so for the paycheck, but in the process, they’ve also chosen to willingly serve the machine, as corrupt, as controlling, and as overreaching as it may be.

Once you pick a side, you sacrifice the truth. You’re not reporting the facts. You’re stories have to persuade public opinion and control the perceptions that people have because you’re no longer working for the interests of the American people, you’re working for the interests of the political party.

Hello!

And there it is. That’s why I’m 43, and working at the Dollar Tree.

But, I cannot survive on a Dollar Tree salary. So, now, I must find a way to create my own brand, or find a job with people who think like I do.

It’s so easy to pick a team, but I feel so strongly about the foundations of this country. I truly believe in my heart that we’ve all been robbed of the American experience, and the only way to get that back is by removing anything and everything unconstitutional, and then by holding our democratically elected officials accountable.

If you, my supporters, donate to the Nooz Buffet website, I can easily establish my own brand.

So, let’s see how it goes.

Why Has America Put Every Other Nation First?

It is finally being spoken about. America as the police force of the world, America flooding the country with illegal immigrants and giving them access to free everything while the poverty rates in our country continue to grow, America giving its own tax-payer money to the Ukraine to fund its war against Russia, we did the same thing in the Middle East, we supported Hitler, and we continue to take care of every other Nation but own.

WHY?

The black revolution is much more than a struggle for the rights of Negroes. It is forcing America to face all its interrelated flaws—racism, poverty, militarism, and materialism. It is exposing evils that are rooted deeply in the whole structure of our society. It reveals systemic rather than superficial flaws and suggests that radical reconstruction of society itself is the real issue to be faced

–Martin Luther King Jr.

We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem now until there is a radical redistribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation, and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and [we] must put [our] own house in order.

—Martin Luther King Jr.

The answer obvious. It’s easier to make believe everyone else is a concern than it is to face your own problems head on and put your own house in order.

We’ve been avoiding looking at ourselves in the mirror for a very long time, and so it has become even harder to look at ourselves.

And that’s why there has been so much push back against people who are trying to restore this country. That’s why the real true American has become an enemy of the state and casted out by the mainstream. Instead of American exceptionalism, they want you to believe it’s not cool to be an American-when this country was designed to be the greatest in the entire world.

Astrological Candopelene

Candopelene is the mental and psychological effects of, or how we’re affected by something. You will not find candopelene in a dictionary because I just created it.

Today’s astrological chart reading for 3:09 PM (ET) reveals a feminine-dominated energy. This is a very hard energy to work with because as I’ve stated in past articles, when you have water and earth, you get mud. According to my own methods for chart reading and analysis, this would be a cardinal/fixed cross, and the challenge here is discriminating between what we perceive to be good or good for us, and the truth of what actually is.

The challenge is to separate intuition, our real inner guidance, from that, which appeals to our senses and ultimately leads us astray on a never-ending quest to quench our personal desires. With the ascendant in fixed Taurus and the midheaven in cardinal Capricorn, sensuality is at the forefront. There’s a time for everything, and the time is calling for personal enjoyment.

We have the Sun conjunct Mars in Sagittarius in the 7th house. The willful Sun and war oriented Mars are giving us the power and energy forge ahead and be pioneers when it comes to relationships and partnerships, but the Moon in Virgo is saying, “slow your roll.”

The Moon is squared to both the Sun and Mars, and so we must take the Moon’s call for diplomacy into consideration here for two reasons. One, the overall energy is feminine, and two, 50% of the energy is fixed. Fixed, as in rigid and inflexible. I would like to compare the cardinal/fixed cross to someone making a decision to take action based on what they’ve always known and believed. The problem here is that the person, because they’ve been unwilling to change or consider someone else’s point of view, is now incapable of seeing the bigger picture.

With that in mind, you can see why or how the Sun’s 7th house conjunction with Mars in Sagittarius is necessary in this situation. We absolutely need to broaden our horizons, form friendships and partnerships that can help us, and in a sense, branch out.

But at what cost?

So, we take heed to the Moon’s call for diplomacy. The Moon is forming a brilliant trine with Mercury in Capricorn in the 8th house of death and regeneration. Communication should be cunning instead of forceful now. Make a commitment and be persistent, and if you must indulge in what pleases you, use moderation. Nothing muddies the waters more than drugs and alcohol-keep that in mind.

The Moon is requiring more information before she can get on board with moving ahead, or blessing that conjunction between the Sun and Mars. She’s in Virgo, and Virgo is a very conscientious and discriminating sign. The Moon is asking us to conduct our research thoroughly and carefully. With all this fixed energy, mutable Virgo is the perfect placement for the Moon right now.

Thank you for visiting Nooz Buffet, and this is the Astrological Candopelene for the next twenty-four hours.

🎄Happy Holidays-Christmas, December 25th, is now 22 days away. The countdown begins. I just found out yesterday, the Holly and Ivy, Joy to the World, and many other songs I sang as a child to celebrate Christmas were Pagan solstice hymns. The roots of mainstream religious ceremonies and rituals are fascinating.

♐Astrology-Today the Sun is in the astrological sign of Sagittarius on the 11th degree. Sagittarius is mutable fire, it is the embodiment of the spirit of freedom. It is the sign of sight, ambition, generosity, and exploration. Sagittarius rules holly, oak, and turquoise. The lucky numbers of the Archer are 5 and 7.

🏈In the world of NCAA college football, it looks as if things are coming apart at the seems in Colorado. I think two coaches have now left Coach Sander’s staff, and many players have openly expressed their feelings on social media. I know you can’t believe everything you read on the internet, but there’s a lot going on there. Alabama, Michigan, Washington, and Texas are in the college football playoffs.

🌊Global Flooding?-A week ago, one of the largest icebergs in the world was drifting beyond the waters of the Antarctic. The worry here is that as the warm waters melt that iceberg, the sea levels could rise dramatically.

🥊Sylvester Stallone-Movie star, Sylvester Stallone was said to have returned to the City of Brotherly Love. The purpose of Stallone’s trip to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was to attend an event hosted by the city to proclaim and promote December 3rd as “Rocky Day.”

Have a wonderful evening and a blessed week!

Merry We Meet, Merry We Part

Acceptance. This is basic shit.

We often don’t understand how important acceptance is. If you really want to work on something for 2024, make it acceptance. Accept people for who they are and what they are without judgement.

You don’t have to like everyone, and God knows you won’t get along with everyone. You don’t even have give your attention or time to anyone, but if you take the time out of your day to get to know someone who seems interesting to you, don’t allow your own insecurities and short-comings to force you into a mode of judgement or shaming if your expectations aren’t met.

Merry we meet, and merry we part.
