Hi! Oh Donald.....in comparison to my age you are still a kid. I am 76 and still very active. I live alone on a historic farm on the New River in NC and still mow 5-6 acres of grass a week and use that dreadful weed eater thing. I care for all the animals and still ride my bike to the PO 3miles away. My gentlemen friend is 85 and he rides his bike 60-70 miles a week. He was a "tour de France" competitor in years past...those skinny guys with helmets & tight colorful pants. Fortunately, we both avoided the JAB but have beat Covid three times. No such luck for most of our friends who are dropping like flies. So friend, I tell you this to encourage you. If the world doesn't explode and your Social Check still arrives you could still have a long way to go before you rest more than 5 hours a night. Love you on Rense.com. and your show. Jody (Joyce) Preston-Maier
I agree with you and so do my best friends. We don't feel our age ( and don't look it either)! I am so fortunate that my health is good. Plus, my wonderful daughter and her husband moved from Portland, OR last year to live with me in FL, which they love (and I love having them with me). They always tell me not to worry about getting older because they will take care of me. My mom was in hospice here at my home until she died in 2018. We take care of our family!
Wonderful, Don. The good news is that there is life after 70, so keep on truckin'! Life is an adventure for certain...
An older neighbor who lived nearby when I was a kid was a retired TVA engineer in his 80s - he had served in the Spanish-American War and received his commission from Teddy Roosevelt, himself...
Great reading Donald! I'm in my 70's, almost mid 70's (and female). I am very grateful for my life! I love music and belong to a Community Band here in Australia. I play percussion in the band (bongos, glockenspiel and all the other instruments belonging to the Percussion family! I also play drum kit and have an 8' long Marimba! I am the Librarian for the Band, Property Officer, find fill-in musicians for the Band and find venues for the Band and prepare the food for our end of year party. I am a University Student and love study and want to keep my brain and body running for as long as possible. I am also learning how to keep myself away from hospitals and the medical system by eating healthy foods and developing the spiritual. Most of my friends are younger than me. (Some 50 years younger). I do walking exercises and Yoga and love reading and crossword puzzles. I do appreciate so much what you have written and all the comments that have been shared.
Donald I'm a vibrational medicine therapist, vibrational medicine explains you that we are energy, also among many other things, explains you that neurons are all over our body, not only in the brain. This is why we say " what you believe you create", because neurons hear our every thought, and they act in consequence. People start getting old fast because they believe and think they are old. But the truth is that time doesn't exist, quantum physics explain you that we live in an eternal present, where past and future are just dimensions, that's why we can have premonitory dreams and see the future, it's already existing or happening in other dimension. Anyway, I don't believe in age, old Chinese thought that to celebrate birthdays is bad luck. I don't celebrate birthdays, I don't think in terms of age, I mingle with all type of people from all types of backgrounds and ages. I take many supplements and vitamines, specially antioxidants. I'm a vegetarian from many years ago, if you eat meat you are eating death. I don't believe in heavy exercise, I'm like cats, I love stretching and sleeping, also I love to sing and dance, and to laugh whenever possible or at least smile. I'm ageless. I live in eternity. So don't think you have an age, because you don't, unless you choose to believe so...!
My last job I worked with a lady who was from New Zealand. She told me that America doesn't have proper welfare for the poor. If you are impoverished in New Zealand, the government buys you a house and pays all of your bills, according to her. Catherine Austin Fitts said that the roughly 20 trillion dollars in the U.S. earmarked for Social Security payments and various pensions has been looted and squirreled away by the usual suspects. That leaves the System two options. (1) Dramatically raise the retirement age so that the vast majority of people roll a 7 before they can collect or (2) Dramatically increase the mortality rate so that the vast majority, again, die off before they can get a dollar of Social Security or pension funds. It is obvious that with the scamdemic Covid hoax with concomitant bio-weapons called vaccines, the Controllers have decided on option (2).
Great article about aging. It reminded me of my widowed grandmother, who at the age of 70 married a fairly wealthy German/American man 29 years her junior. He looked older than his age. She looked younger. They were happily married for 21 years. Died in their own home, no nursing facility. Pushing 70 myself, I looked around at the 40 year olds & can't even imagine them looking twice at me. Not that it matters. My husband probably wouldn't approve.
Well my friend all I can say is you hit the nail on the head with this one 100%....I look back at our 50 plus years friendship and think holy moly we made it .....my mother use to say "the golden years are rusty"....which I decided to move in with her to take care of her instead of moving her into a nursing facility....(you know that was difficult, but the right thing to do).... like you have relatively good health....minus the few times I had bad situations with Drs....like you I avoid them.... I've been fortunate and pray I won't need to count on the daughter to take care of me.... I could go on because this article is so pertinent to all I'm going through as a "senior citizen". You definitely look fabulous for "your age" and I see us as we were so many years ago....Thank you for your insight and honesty.....
Hi Don thanks for this article and I’m really just discovering your work. Heave heard you on Rense as well. So much to unpack. May God give you good health and sound mind for many years to come.
You hit the nail on the head on every topic. I always look forward to my email alerts when your latest essay gets published. Thank you for being so honest and candid.
if you do not have white hair @ 66 that is a good sign. almost everyone is 100% white. i began to get it late 40's. if someone reconizes you from 15 yrs ago, dont complain. that is the most sincere compliment i can think of. as for me, the only good thing i can think of is that i am not fat. i weigh the same as before high school.
Great article on aging. My mom died super young (she was afraid of turning 40) and a lot of my older relatives seemed unhealthy and spent their days in bed and whining about being sick all the time. I had a really skewed perspective on aging for a long time. It wasn’t until after college that I really noticed that vibrant, active older people existed. Those people are still my heroes. Now I wish they didn’t color their hair so much because I refuse to be ashamed for going gray and getting older. These days, I tend to have more grey than many of the older people I interact with. I’m in my mid-40’s. It’s weird, but I have better things to spend my money on than highlights and hair dye. 8-)

The attitude to older people in the West stinks, it is true. I turned my back on Western society as a bad joke in 2011 and am now more in tune with South Asian culture where age in men at least is revered and not seen as either foolish or unattractive. I'm six months away from sixty myself. I feel pretty damned old some days I admit, but I also have a lot of room to improve, having allowed myself to stagnate physically for many years and I am now benefitting from improving by exercise and diet etc. Within a year or two I anticipate feeling at least as good as when I was in my forties. I'm married to a gorgeous wife thirty years younger and am aiming to make the old adage "You're only as old as the woman you're feeling" into reality. I feel confident that my natural lifespan will be upwards of 130 years and in a world where young people and children die of strokes and heart attacks now, having avoided the deception I fully expect to pass the majority of the younger ones on their way down. I do not need their society, it repels me on every level.
I'd be comfortable living in nature as our species began. I have the skills to bring the most useful elements of our achievements to bear, technologically, scientifically and engineering wise. I can make explosives and missiles, firearms from materials nobody else ever even thought of. I have some really fascinating and surprising creations in respect of this. A combination of experience in pyrotechnic sciences, metal working and plastics has given me a tool kit probably as unique as any owned by any man. I can find and process various ores for metals. I can harness the elements, earth, wind, water and fire to work for me. I can grow food, develop genetically both animals and plants into better food and my master is the creator of the entire universe. He alone dictates my life. I've been blessed with rare insight into other dimensions, my instincts are uncanny. I am fully cognisant of the world in which we live and it is not what most people presume. We are awesome beings but most of what we are sleeps and is unknown to most. The groveling tiny creatures who call the shots for civilisation are nothing, they are slaves of a lesser master.
I stopped paying taxes a couple of years ago. I cancelled the government in my life once they crossed clear and obvious red-lines demanding I get jabbed up in a medical experiment I know that they knew would likely kill me. That was the end of the road for me, and I am now an independent man in my eyes and I'm prepared to die or kill in defense of that standing. I follow Common Law only. None of their mandates had any legal basis even if I had not cancelled them, but henceforth they have no authority over me, beyond that they can bring by force. I will meet force with force. This I swear by Allah. It of course means I have no claim on social security nor a pension. Australia no longer has legitimate government and I don't care less if I am the only person in the country who holds to this, for hold to it I shall. ONLY a complete replacement of the current system has any hope of regaining my loyalty or feasance.
This planet is mine. My life is mine. I have been independent all my life and now in my most formidable stage of life, I fucking dare anybody, any system to cross me. No man shall dictate to me and that's the end of that. If I don't make my anticipated 130 years, I sure as hell will be going out at 100 miles an hour still. Like a bat out of hell. :-))

Time machines do exist!
Good one---sad, but true.
I heard a comedian say today, "I do look young for 55 and I did get carded the other day--to bad it was at a vaccine station."
