Money equals power. Plain and simple. But that kind of power is less than nothing, and thirsting after it exposes a paucity of spirit that will not -- and cannot ever -- recognize true power, in which all things exist: the power of life itself that is embodied in the human mind and soul, as it is in all living things.

Money equals power. Plain and simple. But that kind of power is less than nothing, and thirsting after it exposes a paucity of spirit that will not -- and cannot ever -- recognize true power, in which all things exist: the power of life itself that is embodied in the human mind and soul, as it is in all living things. There for the taking if one only reaches out. And it's free. Like the sun's energy. So how stupid are we?
Democracy is the best chance for humans, individually and collectively, to reach their potential ...and beyond. Thom mentioned on his broadcast this morning that the Republican Party is plotting and scheming to push a "law and order" campaign theme going into the fall elections -- their tried and (un)true propaganda smokescreen that somehow always "fools" (on purpose) the corporate media and their lazy audiences every time. But the law and order envisioned by Republicans is the unnatural Pax Romana of minority rule at the barrel of of gun ...and a cross.
The simple truth is so completely obvious and unavoidable! It is truly shocking that nearly half the citizens of the most powerful and supposedly most technologically advanced country in the world are complete suckers for the blatant lies and self-dealing manipulation by the forces of greed, crime, and disorder on a scale never before seen in the course of human development. Now, our long, strange journey has arrived at another critical turning point, perhaps the most consequential ever imagined.
And it really is up to each one of us to take the time and search our souls, to put aside minor differences and come together as a people, to defeat the "evildoers" gathering power under the banner of Trump. This is war. There is no middle ground.

Great minds think alike. Amanda Marcotte today put it about as succinctly and to the point as anyone can nowadays in the face of such unrelenting brainwash: https://www.salon.com/2022/06/09/after-jan-6-can-we-stop-pretending-are-the-law-and-order-party/
