If Joe Biden and Kamala Harris love Israel and Israelis so much, some say more than they love America and Americans, maybe they should; 1) save Israel from destroying itself, and 2) save Israelis from destroying themselves - BECAUSE real friends don't let friends drive drunk - or let them commit genocide - especially when it's ON OUR DIME.

The quote by Gibran Khalil, "Between what is said and not meant, And what is meant and not said, Most love is lost," captures the delicate and often fragile nature of communication in relationships. It speaks to the misunderstandings and unspoken emotions that can create distance between people who care for each other. Often, words are spoken hastily, without the full weight of their meaning, leading to unintended consequences and hurt feelings. Conversely, the emotions and thoughts that are deeply felt but left unexpressed can create a void, a silence that echoes with what could have been. This quote serves as a reminder that the words we choose and the ones we withhold both carry immense power. In the context of love, where emotions are often heightened, the gap between intention and expression can lead to the erosion of affection and connection. The challenge, then, is to strive for clarity and honesty in our communication, to ensure that our words align with our true feelings, and to have the courage to express what truly matters before it is too late. Gibran's wisdom encourages us to be mindful of the delicate balance between speech and silence, understanding that both can either nurture or diminish the love we hold for one another.

EVIL PREVAILS when otherwise Good People See, Say and Do Nothing

April, 1985, 50,000 feet over the Irish Sea, this is the only picture ever taken of a Concorde flying over Mach 2. The photo itself was taken by Adrian Meredith, a prestigious British photographer, from a Panavia Tornado, a British fighter of the Royal Air Force. Meredith had to be quick and precise, because flying that high he had less than 4 mins to take the shot. The fighter couldn't keep up with the Concorde beyond that time. If you look at the horizon, the Earth's curvature begins to show

this is who we are... and those at the top have no interest in it changing...
..and if we explore the depths of the then all-powerful 14th century Church of Rome, the Vatican, and how the then reigning Popes Granted Godly Approval through their Papal Bulls (edicts) to Europe's then reigning Monarchs so their then commissioned Explorers, already busily exploring the world, knew they were legally and morally free to discover, invade, occupy, claim sovereignty over, settle and colonize any and all unclaimed uninhabited (by white European Christians that is) territories they managed to Secure By Force - and who were also granted pre-approval to then plant their Monarch's flags and freely exploit the land with impunity, and to r**e, pillage, enslave and/or massacre (genocide) at will any and/or all indigenous peoples they came across (also with impunity) as long as they weren't white or Christian... together, the Papal Bulls became what's know as the Doctrine of Discovery...
..and that Doctrine of Discovery became the basis for what the American Colonies used to justify their own Manifest Destiny and the ethnic cleansing (relocation) and genociding of Native Americans.

Henceforth, to the rest of the world, an ever-changing network of rich white militarily all-powerful "Western" governments became the self-entitled terrorists of the world - though they themselves saw themselves as Global EMPIRE Builders - the Pinnacle of Civilization - when, in reality, they were ruthlessly cruel criminals whose inhumanity and criminality were made legal by their governments, and morally sanctioned by their churches.

This is why we call it ChristoFascism!

If you have ever wondered what YOU might have said or done during the N@zi Holoc@ust - no need to wonder - YOU ARE DOING IT RIGHT NOW

"Whiteness only allows for moral clarity in hindsight (that’s why they’ll lament what happened to Indigenous people but can’t recognize it in Palestine) because moral clarity in the moment requires accountability for which white supremacy has no capacity."
~ Shy G / x.com/AdvAKAtor

Some say centuries of overwhelmingly straight white cis-male Christian rule throughout the West has produced populations with widely held, deeply enCULTurated blindspots for inconvenient social, political and/or economic truths... subconsciously, large swaths of these white (or wanna'be white, or white-adjacent, or beholden to white) populations sense that any public acknowledgement of certain inconvenient truths (especially those exposed by shining a white-hot light of public scrutiny upon inequality, inequity and injustice) would invariably put them in the uncomfortable position of being expected to say and do things they just don't want to say or do...
..but the time's, they are a'changing - and it's getting harder to keep even small truths under wraps these days - and more and more people believe if something can be destroyed by the truth, it probably should be destroyed by that truth - because it's a healthy developmental instinct that best ensures mankind's survival.

“They’re trying to screen out people who have higher loyalties to the US constitution. It’s likely they’re looking for people whose higher loyalty is to Donald Trump,” he said. “They’re trying to find lawyers who believe in dictatorship. You have to wonder what kind of people in good conscience could sign up for a Trump revenge tour. This appears to be a casting call for an American political horror movie.”

Cultivate Healthy Discernment
that is the path to becoming
our most authentic selves

It's true, I am a white-privileged 70 year old Out as Q***R cis-male, a WokeAF Agnostic Humanist, a liberal progressive, a democratic socialist, and if there actually was an ANTIFA to join, I'd join it - and I've comfortably confidently contentedly been that for half a century - and because my parents (a former Catholic, and a former Baptist) chose to raise my siblings and I as UU's, as Unitarian Universalists, a fellowship whose leaders neither mo**st minds or bodies, but did infact actively encourage my learning to think for myself...
..they > GROOMED < me to be both myself and a decent perfectly imperfect human being within a vast increasingly diverse secular informed engaged empowered progressive liberal-to-moderate live-and-let-live to-each-his-own immigrant-rich melting-pot salad-bowl two-thirds to three-fourths MAJORITY society ...
.. but living in a world that also accommodates organized networks of often threatening duplicitous unscrupulous lyin' sack-a-sh*t frauds, charlatans and shysters free to openly CULTivate their respective legions of slavishly devoted followers, invariably oblivious to the fact they've been groomed to be society's deplorable, willfully ignorant, bigoted, bullying and fear-n-hate mongering dicks, dupes and dopes has it's challenges.

We live in a world where we are constantly being sold on who and what we should be and become - and also a world where we are conditioned to constantly be selling who and what we are. There is a lot of selling going on.

Yes, others try to make us who and what they want us to be, it's how civilization works, it's how society functions, but ultimately, we choose for ourselves who and what we are, and who and what we want to become.

Our lives never start out with our having a choice - we're being raised and protected by others - but ultimately, who and what we are and want to become always becomes a matter of choice - and to make that choice it's important to understand if we were educated or indoctrinated - it's an assessment we all should make, but not everyone wants us to make it.

Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks platform should have been heralded as courageous investigative journalists and whistle blowers boldly defending the public's right to know the truth about what our government and military are doing - especially when our Government and NewsMedia don't tell them truth - THAT'S SPEAKING TRUTH TO POWER - and that doesn't warrant those Government Leaders (and their propagandist NewsMedia partners) to harass, disparage, threaten, de-monetize and charge with crimes maybe the planet's preeminent champion of a global free press - a hero like Julian Assange and his groundbreaking WikiLeaks NewsMedia operation.

Congratulations Julian - you didn't deserve what you got from us - but you got it because you were so damn good at your job, and honorable about your duty to spread the truth, and brave enough to spread it far and wide.

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park
Brazil's Phenomenal Sand Dune Pools

Lençóis Maranhenses National Park (Parque Nacional dos Lençóis Maranhenses[a]) is a national park in Maranhão state in northeastern Brazil, just east of the Baía de São José. Protected on June 2, 1981, the 155,000 ha (380,000-acre) park includes 70 km (43 mi) of coastline, and an interior composed of rolling sand dunes. During the rainy season, the valleys among the dunes fill with freshwater lagoons, prevented from draining due to the impermeable rock beneath. The park is home to a range of species, including four listed as endangered, and has become a popular destination for ecotourists.

The goals of rich white Western Governments and Corporations are to use ISRAEL to wash money out of the US and European taxpayers through unlimited unconditional unwavering financial and military support of ISRAEL (even if it's inclusive of the EVIL that IsREAL in ISRAEL) and back into the hands of their respective transnational elite and industrial war complex elite (e.g. BlackRock & Vanguard). The goals of Western Governments and Corporations are to manifest ENDLESS WARS, not Successful Wars Leading to Peace.

"The Gun Lobby's interpretation of the Second Amendment is one of the greatest pieces of fraud - I repeat the word fraud - on the American people by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime. The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies - the militia - would be maintained for the defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any kind of weapon he or she desires."

be encouraged by this of love and justice being whipped up by courageous souls stepping up and speaking out...
..it's a good thing that so many distinctive individuals from so many different places - who don't even know each other - can still come together and effectively communicate the truest understandable truths humanly possible to each other - that somehow our already obscenely wealthy and powerful CORPORATE OWNED Social, Political, Economic, Media and Religious Leaders just don't want us to know.

Be thankful we have so many alternative pathways leading us to truthful information that we're ALL gonna need to survive - and yes, we're all gonna need to cultivate healthy discernment about what's truthful and what's dishonest. Time to grow up!

good rule of thumb.....if something CAN be destroyed by the truth, then that something SHOULD be destroyed by that truth

lies should die asap
