I've been keeping out of the comments and debates about God and Prayers both here on Litsy and in RL.

Until today.

A friend came to me and demanded for me to explain how my “good“ “kind“ “loving“ God could allow such bad things to happen in the world “all the time.“ And don't give me, “God Works In Mysterious Ways“ or that “There's A Reason For Everything“ crap.

If you'd like to know how this conversation continued, please keep reading.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal Me: The truth, I can't. I don't believe anyone can truly answer that question.

People mistakingly believe that I have a strong faith BECAUSE I was born and raised Catholic. But the strength in my faith came with time. It's a journey. A journey that can't be mimicked because it's truly unique and personal for every single person. A journey that can only be guided by forces unknown.

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Friend: that's a horrible reply! What kind of 🤬🤬🤬🤬 response is that?

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: I'm sorry, but we're done speaking about this.

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Friend: Cries...

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: OK, look. I can't give you the answers you're looking for but here's something I can say.

I was raised believing that my Catholic God has a son named Lucifer. I was raised understanding the symbol of the ying-yang. One of the first legends I learned about from my ancestral world was the, Wendigo. Many cultures and religions from around the world believe in some kind of darkness or evil.

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: When I was 4/5 years old, when my 14 year old brother was in the hospital and my mom needed to be with him. My father abandoned me to his multi-abusive family members and friends (note: that's the most that I am willing to speak about involving this abuse in my life). That was my personal encounter with some of the evil humans are capable of doing.

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: You know a little about my obsession with the paranormal-

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Friend: oh, please don't twist this into something supernatural!

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: You opened this door. Now listen.

Believe me or not, you can't “seriously“ dabble in the paranormal without sometimes accidentally encountering negative spirits or daemons.

I know, not just believe, but personally know that there are evil forces that exists because I've dealt with them.

Now, you don't have to believe me about any of this.

👇🏼 (edited) 2d

AnnCrystal Me: I believe that just because evil has had large and small victories throughout history, the “war“ hasn't been won one way or another. 2d

AnnCrystal Friend: But doesn't that scare you?

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: Do I fear for my family, community, our whole country and world. Of course. My Prayers are not only for protection and to seek guidance, they are for strength. Strength for myself to find creative ways to aspire and inspire each day forward.

But Prayers are more, they are lending any “good“ forces at work strength and endurance. No matter from which cultural belief or religion because they're all as real as mine.

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal My Friend was silent for awhile before saying: Will you hate me for saying that none of this has made me a true believer?

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: I would be more surprised if you were suddenly a believer.

Just promise me this, never stop questioning. And don't only focus on the bad, see the good too...even in the darkest events throughout history, seek out the “good“ that is at work giving light to the darkness.

👇🏼 (edited) 2d

AnnCrystal Friend: you don't really, like, really, really believe in Demons do you?

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal Me: let's just say that I'd prefer to battle it out with a daemon over a “bad“ human any day.

👇🏼 2d

AnnCrystal
Friend: I don't know what's worse...believing there is a good God who doesn't care, or no God at all, or that there is actual evil out there who knows how to outwit the Almighty.

There is talk about there being nationwide protest during Labor Day weekend.

If you're going out to join the protests, please be careful. Please keep in consideration that Federal Agents are armed and Little t has now armed the National Gaurds as of this week.

Little t and his minions are playing monopoly with America and Americans.

We the People must play this reality like a game piece on a chess board if we are going to win.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal
Be safe Littens, have patience, be vigilant. We must be careful for traps. Put on your best poker face, which will outrage our opponents.

And be watchful for terrorists.

Also, try to keep at least a two-week stock on necessities for you and your fur/feather/scaly babies.

✊🏼😎🐻🦅✌🏼🤍✌🏼.

Please excuse my choice of image for this post...but nothing else fit what is happening to Americans.

🤗🥺🤔🇺🇸✊🏼🤬🇺🇸.

There has been some debates today about Our Nation's Flag.

I was raised by my mom that I should always respect Our American Flag and Our Land or I am only disrespecting myself.

But now there is a threat coming from Little t aimed at anyone burning or disrespecting Our Flag

Please share this posts with any protesting friends. This is serious! We cannot give these people a single reason to send out the National Guard across the America.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal We're apparently dealing with hunters who like to taunt those they prey upon. We must not fall for their traps. We must not give the oppressors a reason to attack!

Instead save the American flag as we struggle to save Democracy! Fly her with true American patriotism as we walk into the future, and work to form a Country we can truly be proud about.

✊🏼💙🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸💙✌🏼.

dabbe From Michael Douglas as THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT: “You want to claim this land as the land of the free? Then the symbol of your country can't just be a flag; the symbol also has to be one of its citizens exercising his right to burn that flag in protest. Show me that, defend that, celebrate that in your classrooms. Then, you can stand up and sing about the “land of the free.“

Keep fighting the fight; democracy is worth it. 💙✊🏻💙 5d

AnnCrystal ✊🏼😎✌🏼 @dabbe Democracy is Totally Worth Fighting The Fight.

There are going to be Nation wide protests this weekend. My county and state is already prepared. Be careful. I'm assuming you and your husband are staying home because of your surgery, but maybe send the hubby to stock up on necessities beforehand??

Since the raidings began because of Little t's ignorance, my mom is “not allowed“ to go grocery shopping alone... she's a little warrior who is ready to fight back and defend her American rights, which means she would likely get herself into trouble if she ventures out and about alone ✊🏼😂.

I wanted to give a warning to be careful while going out shopping.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal As I've posted about, we are facing prejudice from store customers. From “if looks could kill“ to “utter rudeness.“

About two weeks ago, I parked the grocery cart against a shelf near the end of an aisle. I moved around the basket and stood leaning against the front of the shopping cart while I waited on my mom as she made some food selections.

All of a sudden, my cart was slammed against my lower back, I even bowed backwards a bit.

👇🏼 (edited) 6d

AnnCrystal I spun around and the guy mumbled as if it were my fault that he ran into my cart.

It took four days to heal. I waited a few days before I mentioned this to my mom, she wasn't happy that I hadn't told her sooner. I'm just glad it was me and not my mother that this happened to. My mom did tell me to yell out loudly the next time, “ouch, what's your problem!“ to embarrass the person.

👇🏼 6d

AnnCrystal These people seem to be trying to cause a ruckus, possibly trying to get people upset so they can have an excuse to call the cops.

Just try to stay calm and avoid such people...unless they try to drag you off someplace or become violent, then you need to yell for help and fight back!

There are still too many ghost grocery carts abandoned in the aisles. Try to venture out in pairs.

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘@JenlovesJT47 I'm just truly thankful that this wasn't my mom. We've been knocked against, but this was something more violent ✊🏼🫂✌🏼💝. 6d

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @Deblovestoread It's sad to see what Little t and his minions are doing to our America ✊🏼🫂✊🏼💝 6d

JenlovesJT47 I know what you mean, I‘m super protective of my mom. She‘s disabled after a car accident 30 years ago. Somebody hurts my mom they‘re gonna have to deal with me! ♥️ 6d

AnnCrystal @JenlovesJT47 that's terrible 🙏🏼🫂. I'm glad she survived the accident 💝💝💝.

Bookwormjillk I‘m so sorry 6d

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘@Bookwormjillk thankfully, it only took four days to heal ✊🏼🫂✌🏼💝. 6d

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal she‘s been shopping at the Asian Market and Mexican Grocery with her friends and had zero issues so far. I told her about this this morning … she says that‘s why they go in groups. What a world. 6d

Suet624 I'm so so so sorry. What a nightmare we live in right now. I hope you and your mom stay safe. 6d

lil1inblue Stay safe! I'm so sorry. 💓🫂 💓 6d

dabbe i can't even believe that you had to post these here. On our country. So sorry. 💙✊🏻💙 6d

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie that is really good that she teams with a group. An absolute safer option. If raids there, tell her to be cautious. The barbarians seem to target areas where “Targeted People“ can be swept up in one clean sweep. ✊🏼😎💙. 5d

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @Suet624 we try to stay close to home unless we can't help it. We are trying to avoid having to “defend“ ourselves from the federal barbarians. Be safe out there too ✊🏼🫂✌🏼💙. 5d

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @lil1inblue we must all be more vigilant in this crazy world...just too sad ✊🏼🫂👌🏼💙. 5d

AnnCrystal Thank You 😘 @dabbe the levels of hatred is unreal. Be safe ✊🏼🫂✌🏼💙. 5d

TheBookHippie @AnnCrystal Unfortunately or fortunately ICE raids have been common here for decades. Horrific last regime and this one more so than usual but it‘s still something we are use to. Ugh. 5d

AnnCrystal @TheBookHippie True, even here. But it's during these harsher times that more Americans get swept up too...and beaten...and seemingly vanished ✊🏼🥺✌🏼💙. 5d

There are so many stories that I want to share from California. These are the some of the ones that made me cringe the most.

This post in no way covers all the the stories happening in Los Angeles County NOR across California.

Please do further research to fact-check or if you would like to know more or want updates on the people highlighted here.

Please Note: I didn't include updates.

🙏🏼✊🏼🐻✌🏼.

👇🏼

AnnCrystal A 15 year old American was sitting in a car with his grandmother, waiting outside a school where a family member was inside registering.

Barbarian agents surrounded the car and kidnapped the young teenager at gunpoint. He was later released to his family, who received an explanation that it was a case of mistaken identity.

Los Angeles CA officials are now working to protect our children from the federal government during school hours.

👇🏼 2w

AnnCrystal First amendment rights was violated when an American activist, Union del Barrio member Amanda Trebach was targeted and violently kidnapped by masked kidnappers.

These barbarians claimed Trebach blocked and hit agents vehicles. Fellow Union del Barrio member claim that these allegations are false.

Trebach was later released without any of the alleged charges.

👇🏼 2w

AnnCrystal In July, Lakewood City, CA Councilmember and American Born David Arellano claimed that he was racially profiled when U.S. Customs and Border Protection so-called agents jumped into his boat and demanded to see his identification papers.

AnnCrystal Today, Governor of California held an emergency News Conference in Los Angeles, CA. The LA Mayor, Karen Bass and several California U.S. Council Members and House Representatives attended.

Right outside this News Conference, so-called agents just happened to hold a raid. At least two people have been reported kidnapped.

The restraining order didn't hold for as long as Angelenos & Southern Californians were hoping 🤬. They are ignoring OUR 1st, 4th, & 8th Amendments ✊🏼🐻.

The following has been sourced from ABC 7 News.

Videos taken from the scene shows agents loading several people into the back of a Penske rental truck.

From LA Mayor Karen Bass: 👇🏼

AnnCrystal “For months federal agents have been masking themselves and now they're using rental trucks to conduct their seemingly discriminatory raids - these tactics are dangerous. The Federal court of appeals made clear that it is unconstitutional in this country to racially profile people and snatch them from worksites. The City is gathering information about these reported raids and considering all legal 👇🏼 4w

AnnCrystal options. Tactics like this are un-American and we will never accept these terrorizing ploys as a new normal.“ - Mayor Bass: (edited) 4w

Just a word of caution, my mom and I have noticed what we are calling “Ghost Shoppers.“

Every time we go shopping, we are noticing ghost shopping carts and hand baskets with food in them just left abandoned in the middle of aisles. Too many for it to seem normal.

Be cautious when out shopping. Try to not shop alone, stay away from back exits/storage room doors, and never believe someone claiming to be a so-called agent...

👇🏼

AnnCrystal
make commotion and scream! Don't leave with them willingly.

There also seems to be too many men walking up and down the aisles with empty baskets, or with nothing in their hands, or just buying drinks and snacks. And some of these men are giants, something my shopping center never seemed to have before in such abundance.

✊🏼🐻✊🏼🦅🙏🏼✌🏼.

The one Black Eyed Peas song that I went crazy over was “Where Is the Love“ from 2003. Played on repeat for months.

Been meaning to read Taboo's graphic novels. These are on my “must buy and read TBR.“

Now these new songs are going on my “must play“ list...just...where to find CDs??
