KUDOS MIRACLES: REVELATION, RESOLUTION, REVOLUTION

April Fools – Who Are the Real Fools Now?

By: MATT ALLEN

‘They’ Are Setting The Scene For The Joke On Us

Whether you want to accept it or not, whether you wholeheartedly believe mainstream media, your government, or the messages pushed to you in social media - there is propaganda and misinformation all around us, trying to fool us into believing a narrative that “all is fine, nothing to see here.”

Our very fundamental cornerstones of democracy, freedom of speech, personal belief, and private thought, are being eroded faster than we can imagine possible. You see, the messaging is clear - “all is well”. The powerful elites have us covered, they are doing what is best for us and our futures and we just need to carry on with our daily lives without worrying about the big picture.

Just as long as we do not say anything that should offend someone of course.

But the messaging is an affront to us all, an insult to our intelligence and a step so far away from the truth that thinking the absolute opposite to that message would bring you far closer to the truth.

Problems To The Left Of Me, Problems To The Right

Life as we know it though is lying in the balance. Turning a blind eye is not only ridiculous it is nearly impossible. The UK for example is experiencing the largest rise in absolute poverty in 30 years, up from 17% to 18% in 2022-2023, this is equal to 12 million people, and that is last year. This year’s figure is likely to be far higher again as various contributory factors are affecting more and more people.

Looking further afield, the wars, genocide, increased control over our freedoms imposed by government legislation, the ‘BIG Overlords’ in government, food, pharma, energy, tech and so much more that aim to exploit us and lie to us how they are doing their level best for us.

From Facebook interfering in elections, to Tesla accused of exploiting child labor in DRC cobalt mines, to Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, and Microsoft’s various antitrust fines in 2023 alone, to US millionaires and billionaires are evading more than $150 billion a year in taxes, to government officials the world over benefiting from investing as a result of insider information, no matter the impact on innocent people. This is just a small number of ways those who already have too much are further exploiting, manipulating, and controlling us all.

We Know It Is Happening, We See It, We Feel It

As we humbly go about our daily lives, we see the cracks appearing, we hear the bullsh*t and realize the truth because, We The People are living with the burden and the results of the ‘BIG Overlords’.

It is US who struggle to pay our bills, feed our children, clothe them, and heat our homes. We see it in the increasing numbers of homeless in our streets and parks - our country borders almost non-existent and those who illegally cross them being rewarded rather than sent back home.

WE are the people getting ill and taking ‘medicines’ that often further decreases our health and addicts us to these treatments whilst drinking and eating products pushed at us as ‘healthy’ which is again further from the truth than just a lie.

More than 1 billion people have obesity—650 million adults, 340 million adolescents and 39 million children, according to the World Health Organization whilst more than half a billion people of all ages in every country are living with diabetes and that number is projected to more than double to 1.3 billion people in the next 30 years according to The Lancet medical journal.

Where And When Will It Stop?

Those ‘BIG Overlords’ could very well decide to stop all this, be honest, give to people, solve those big problems, and make the world a better place. But they will not. Instead, they are interested in profits for shareholders, not the benefit for all. So, here at Kudos, we are working to make miracles happen, to provide real innovative solutions brought to bare and the best thing is -?they are solutions brought about by people. That is why on LinkedIn, our hashtags are #WeAreTheMiracle, #PeopleAreTheSolution, and #ItMeansTheWorld.

We have worked and persevered for over a year getting to almost to the point of being ready for the sort of funding/investment that is needed. We are being held back and told along the way by local and national governments, business support groups, and local universities, that what we do is already provided by those ‘BIG Overlords’. It most certainly is not. When talking to real people, hundreds of them, it is clear that our miracles and solutions, that are possible through unity of everyone’s uniqueness’, are what we all want, need, and currently are demanding.

So please, if you don’t know what we are looking to do, have a chat with myself, MATT ALLEN .? You tell me about you and what you do and I will tell you a bit more about Kudos and the bigger things. I will explain how, through doing business the right way and putting people first, a change is not just possible, but it is coming.

The question for you, what are you prepared to do to make those miracles happen?

Best and much love to all - #WeAreTheMiracle

When a coffee isn’t just a coffee

By: Simona Rahmanova

Join me on a short thought piece about coffee, a simple pleasure that can make all the difference when you’re feeling alone.

Here in the south of Spain, you will never go more than 5 minutes without seeing a café. You might have to look to get an exceptionally delicious cup of coffee, but since it’s never really about the coffee itself, you will usually stop at any of those cafes, simply to feel a bit of human connection.

When I was going through depression, one of my main struggles was the feeling of loneliness. The sense that I didn’t belong anywhere, in any place, in any crowd. The mind does that when you are going through depression. It tricks you into believing that nobody cares about you, that you’re not worthy of love, and perhaps that the world might be better off without you. Don’t fall for it, it’s all tricks creating an illusion that’s not real. Even though, I know, nothing feels more real in that moment.

Struggling with health, grief and panic, there were days, even weeks, when I would barely go outside except for to the store to buy groceries. And then there was…..the café around the corner. Having a difficult time being in a house where I didn’t feel safe, and feeling too anxious and depressed to go outside, this was one of the only places that I felt safe. If I wasn’t feeling it in my own skin or among crowds, then at least there was this little pleasure with the opportunity to get out of my head.

We need this when we have been inside our heads too much.

I’m sure you have your favorite cafés where you know the people who work there, or a smoothie place or restaurant close to your house. And even though people might not be as social as where I live, I assure you, there are places where you will find that human connection. But it doesn’t matter really what the people are like, what matters is your intention.

If you go in and give a smile, or give a compliment, or simply chat about how you love coffee (or smoothies, or food), for a moment, there will be connection. If you go into a café on a bad day, and you decide to chat a little or give the person making your coffee a compliment, in that second, your mood will change.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve felt terrible inside but went for a coffee, had a short chat (not even 2 minutes long sometimes), and immediately felt better. Why? Because I felt connected to another human being. Now going for a coffee has become so much more than buying a beverage I enjoy.

Whether it’s a takeaway or I sit down for an hour, it rarely fails to lift my mood. And when you feel like the world is terrible, it’s a way to see that it isn’t. Everyone has a little room for a smile and a quick chat in them, no matter what’s going on in their lives. That includes you and that includes me too.

So whenever you are feeling low, out of connection with people and the world, remember that there is connection out there somewhere. Look for it, however small it may be, whatever it is, and you will see you are not alone, after all.

And if you look very closely, you might even find small miracles in there.

Because when you open your heart to it, connection and belonging start pouring in and filling your heart, one little drop at a time. But one drop, always matters. And eventually, that drop will turn into a river and lead to a heart that is fuller, and a life that is richer.

Remember, what might seem insignificant can turn out to be of great value to your soul. Therefore, never overlook the small opportunities to connect. They do matter, and they have the ability to increase your sense of joy and belonging in this world.

With love.

The Fools of April

By: Melissa Patrick

On April Fools' Day, a day known for tricks and pranks, juxtaposed, we have the big intertwining of truth and lies on the media landscape. This day, where bigger questions are asked about the days’ maze between fact and fiction, influenced by the powers that exist in the shadows, illustrate the importance of independent thinking and discernment to get through a reality that is artfully slip-stitched together.

In an age of plentiful and free information we have to keep in mind the scarcity of untainted truth. Let this day assume a meaning larger than hilarious hijinks and become a metaphor for the continuous manipulation of information by the myriad of media. Often, what is presented as "news" is a carefully crafted narrative, a story, serving interests that are not always apparent.

Grasping the reins of these media quarter-horses are the rich and powerful who purposefully project their brand of reality—deception with intention - and the unsuspecting “we” are the April Fools of the far-reaching and dire consequences.

Whether it’s diverting attention from real issues or subtly shaping public opinion through cherry-picking what is exposed, presenting half-truths, and selective silences, the elite use their media clout to steer societal discourse. Their control of mental paradigms is not just about spreading falsehoods; it's about framing the truth in a way that supports specific agendas.

Who is rich enough to own a media corporation? Meet your mind’s masters.

An overload of conflicting information makes us mentally exhausted and not want to think about the big issues, this is one technique, as is the “divide and conquer” method - while we argue over our spoon-fed petty differences, we fail to look up at the bigger picture. The biggest Independent and alternative news sources will say they are the unabashed, real truth. Two words, controlled opposition. What exists is many layers of misinformation and many interested parties involved.

In this labyrinth of truthiness and bias, discernment becomes our map. Critical analysis of information and understanding motivations are crucial. Why is this being released? When is it being released? How is it being released and by who?

Information dissemination for sake’s sake no longer exists. A healthy dose of skepticism and maybe a sprinkle of cynicism create a fine and fun balance in which one questions but keeps open verifiable truths.

Diving ever deeper into truths using methodical, penetrating questioning, we can submerge ourselves under the surface of stories and discover the underlying beliefs and contradictions.

“A-ha” moments are addicting as we learn not to accept information at face value but to dig deeper, examining the roots of every declaration.

Headlines or head-lies? Do your own research. Seek multiple sources and always consider context. Eventually we will be transformed from passive eaters of information into independent growers of thought.

Random internet troll? Maybe. Paid, controlled opposition? Probably. Legislation coming down around the world to censor free thought? Definitely.

“Truth”, the great foolery played out in the world of information. With perforated lines between reality and fabrication, our best defense is a questioning mind and analytical thought developed through the tools of discernment and the unwavering resolve to, not just dig, but spelunk beyond what is shown.

Let us empower ourselves from mere spectators to informed citizens capable of shaping our own narratives and guiding the world with real truth, clarity, and insight.

Who Is Laughing Now?

Rising Anger, Polarization, and Hope: Navigating Dialogue and Respect in a Changing World

By: Haakon Rian Mancient Ueland

In the Western hemisphere, spring is happening. Flowers bloom, the temperature is rising, and sunsets turn golden.

The temperature of the world is also rising. Figuratively speaking.

Are people angrier than they used to be? Shorter tempered, more sensitive to transgressions and slights?

There seems to be a polarization happening. Used to be, we could discuss politics without going into us-vs-them. Now, you are often met with “you are red/blue/MAGA/extremist/antisemitic/anti-muslim and I can’t talk with you”.

What has happened with dialogue?

What has happened with respect?

What is going on on Gaia?

I am an expert contributor in the book Management in Times of War by Kostiantyn Koshelenko, Ukrainian Deputy Minister of Social Policy. We have a group for the authors, and a message from Katherina Vellinga grabbed my heart.

Here is what she wrote:

"8,000+ missiles launched at Ukraine since the full-scale invasion.

Estimated 90,000+ women raped from 4 to 80+ years old.

1,5 million children stolen and turned into Russians since 2014.

44,000 amputees.

How much more can this country take?

I have been here only for 10 days and it’s nonstop air raids and missiles.

People are exhausted and everyone is grieving over the loss of loved ones yet they need to keep going on, keep working and helping their Armed Forces.

I came here for the Kyiv Security Forum, and after listening to panels of experts from around the world, it is clear to me that the average person does not understand how close we are to WWIII. All that stands between us and a full world war is Ukraine. If they did understand they would do everything in their power to help Ukraine and help the world

Yet Ukrainians know they are alone in this fight and there is no one coming to save them.

I cannot help but feel like we are in the “Hunger Games” with most people having switched the channel to some other show. As long as we are brave and resilient and catch the attention of those still watching, they might give us some kind of gifts but not the real assistance to just end this once and for all.

I see solutions and a way forward, but it requires good people around the world to take responsibility for their part in what is happening to Ukraine and decide to put a stop to this before it is too late. Ukrainians cannot do this on our own.".

But ... should we all give up?

Far from it. Sure, there is an increase in anger and polarization, but on the other hand, more and more people are standing up for unity. For kindness. For compassion, peace, and respect.

So, kudos to you who do not give up. Stay strong. Keep doing random acts of kindness and watch them ripple.

In my life, I’ve lived, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve missed, I’ve hurt, I’ve trusted, I’ve made mistakes, but most of all, I’ve learned. I do believe that the world is capable of learning, too.

People don’t know you as much as you know yourself.

We never know what we are capable of doing until we try. But we hold back many things because the world has tagged us to be who they think we are, not who we really are.

We live in a society of negative labels. Everyone will try to label you, including yourself. It’s been happening but It takes some honesty and objective reflection to see it.

You are not a victim of your past and your negative labels. You are a human being capable of anything you set your heart, mind, and soul on.

People has lived in constant negativity because the labels we carry are put on us from things people have said, lies we’ve believed, or the way we feel about ourselves.

However, one spark of Positivity can make a difference in people's life. People are going through a lot and just one positive word from you to them can be the catalyst for something greater.

Be the ???????? in their fears

Be the ?????????? in their darkness

Be the ???????????????? they deserves

Be the ???????????????????? in their Negativity

The only label that we should be carrying is ??????????.

Empowering Women: Embracing Self-Respect, Independence, and Personal Growth for a Fulfilling Life

By: Rashmi Srivastava

We are the women of the planet earth... Really? Are we?? Sometimes this question runs in my mind. Because when I see you all ladies, I see you all suffering even after giving your best shot for some rest know what to do. Don't you think that we need to change things within ourselves or are we going to accept it as it is? Have you ever given a thought of this girls? Trust me ladies each one of you ask this question to yourself and hear what your heart wants to say openly and without fearing ..... I am talking about being Empowered. And you don't have to take permissions for being Empowered. Yes, and that's true. It's enough of relying on your spouse financially and emotionally. Take your own decisions. It's on you and no one else. Speak up... Start it now... At first people will give you weird reactions but believe me it's the best. Women Empowerment is important.

We need to think and initiate things in this direction and not just talk. Since ages we women are being dominated by men whether it's for money, status, power, pleasure. Go build up girl for yourself. Do not hold it with you. Think it's easy and you can do it and you will be able to do it.

Listing down points that you must avoid:

1. Talk to your partner and set boundaries, your likes, preferences.

2. Do not be shy or scared while expressing your dislikes.

3. Pick up a job that you like and do it. Don't depend. No work is small. Remember work is worship.

4. Do the job that is irreplaceable Eg: Household work can be replaced with the help of a maid but earning for your family you can only do it for your own. Hence, start earning. Don't sit at home.

5. Upgrade yourself and invest in yourself.

6. Do not be so much emotional that people know that you are easy one to crack.

7. Stop giving importance to those who are in your life for the sake of benefits. Be backed by persons who really deserve your time.

8. Exercise and maintain yourself. You are the best of yourself. This thinking does not require any tax to be paid.

9. Do not be an open book. Learn to keep secrets.

10. Be positive and patient as it takes time but yet there are results.

11. Prioritize your needs and requirements first as when you are good everything around you eventually will be good.

12. Never leave your job, career, interest just to please someone. Be passionate.

13. Give space to yourself as you are the main character.

14. Like life is unique it's yours so enjoy it to the fullest. Breath...

15. Lastly but most importantly be bold enough to reject things that are to be rejected. It maybe someone's bad behavior, treatment, looks, indentations.

It's different and also difficult to do it at first yet not impossible. We just need to act. Play the role and see how the life changes. Only outstanding people can look different. Choose to be that one from the crowd.

Kill the negative thoughts without pain within yourself. There is no bad treating your own self like a doll with respect. Because when you respect yourself, the World will.

Peacemaker

By: José Luis López

What's a peace? What you doing for making a peaceful life? What can you use to promote peacemakers?? Is this difficult to attend or difficult to spread out?

We have been into a unsounded, undistracted environment where you and I would have liked to meet and live forever. Now, what's a peace? The simple explanation would be the atmosphere where you avoid unwanted noises, undesirable conflicts among nations, and build up a quieter place for everyone breaths in purity, wisdom and new serene dimension only we could ignite on time.

Could we be peacemaker? Affirmative, we could have one.? Why? Because nobody wants to do wars, nobody likes to be trapped into shooting, and, no one would ever have to escape from any tyrant neither dictatorship compulsively bullies the country.

Peacefully is becoming the breeze, those freedom nature winds flowing wherever they are, become a flock of birds, looking for nests for the precious scene of having a family, it's making our new world of joyfulness, a new world of uncontaminated resources, and totally virgin to everything we might need to live in huge sanctity.

If you want to be in this peaceful tranquility world, we have to change our actions optimistic and allow the entire planet functions to the exceptional deserved time.
