It’s a dreary wet cloudy February Saturday. I wonder if the sun will shine again. I wonder if our winters will get back to normal. Lethbridge, Alberta reached a high of 20℃ on Wednesday. Can you imagine that? I wouldn’t think they would have any snow left. Maybe the grass will start to grow. Maybe, Maybe there’s no such thing as global warming. Maybe there was no such person as Jeffrey Epstein. Maybe there’s no such thing as the Epstein files. Maybe it’s just a bad dream I had.

So many well known names had been mentioned that I had wondered if Oprah’s name would come up in the files. So far there’s no evidence of involvement though there’s attempt to malign her. However, I was surprised to learn the story of John Of God, a Brazilian spiritual healer. He is convicted of sexual abuse and sentenced to over 100 years in jail. Oprah had featured him on her show in 2010 and 2013. It is fair to say that she promoted him.

From AI:

Oprah Winfrey described her 2012 visit to João Teixeira de Faria, known as “John of God,” as an “overwhelming sense of peace”. Following her visit, which aired on Oprah’s Next Chapter in 2013, she expressed fascination with his, at the time, highly regarded spiritual healing methods and “psychic surgeries”. X +4

I guess we can all be led astray. It is sad to learn that just because Oprah says something or someone is good doesn’t mean that it is. In this case it caused alot of harm. I wonder how much research Oprah’s team did before featuring him. This leads me to wonder about Dr. Oz and Dr. Phil. I haven’t followed Oprah for many years but I was an ardent fan.

Maybe I should shut up now. I am feeling better today but I probably am not in my right mind. Life is hazardous and scary. Maybe that’s what exciting is.
