Credibility, is the currency of diplomacy.
War is a failure of diplomacy.
Competent command is the bare minimum.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Reality, and seeing the situation as it is, can be disheartening. Lean on each other. Be there to lift each other up.
Know we all take different roads to this point in time. But someone has to be reading the map. So if nothing else. Picture solutions.
We'll get through this, together.
Do not, fall into despair. Cherish good people when you find them. There's more sadistic people than any of us are comfortable with.
The antidote to lawful evil, it's chaotic good.
If people can do evil for no reason. We can do good, when we have the opportunity, for no reason.
Even Frodo struggled the longer he carried it.
We can only choose who gets to carry. So make sure we're getting the best person we can to that playoff race.
If, there's no place in your journey right now to do nothing else. Imagine the world you wish for, what could happen if we fixed things.
We have to imagine better. The answers to the future are in imagining better. In hiring people who run for office who are choosing to serve to represent you. It's a job. Hire competence over charm. And rotate them out in some regular pattern.
When justice, is unattainable, from above your social caste. It's only applicable down the ladder.
Never up. Anger and the system itself is bound to corrode.
Who's only goal is to attain as much power as they can to sadistically gain access to money, and the things money can buy.
In this world, there's long been a, ceiling to accountability. At some point there's enough money to buy your freedom to consequences.
It's almost a theme in history.
Love. Joy. Companionship
I recall Plato's warnings. That democracy crumbles when charisma is valued over competency.
That corruption followed in Athens. This makes sense. Charisma, it's a tool often used by those who manipulate. Who lie. And some of them, are malignant narcissist.
the power like the ring from lord of the rings- The ones who have resilience to it, are the little people. they've learned the secret. That happiness comes from community, friends, and a belief that some day we may all gather over a pint in the shire and cherish the true wealth in this life.
I feel like, some may need some words of hope.
For my own personal reasons, I've never trusted authority, for authorities sake.
Because, the more power one appears to attain, the more it appears to me, that people with the proclivaties to abuse it, seem willing to do anything for more.

I keep thinking about the missing kids, runaways, women.
There's ties to the jon benet case. This is a huge, criminal organization. And it's going to take a long time to bring them to justice. Maybe we could take that ice funding and start a special court...
The people deserve justice.
I keep wondering, how many victims were institutionalized globally because they were given drugs and tortured. How many were institutionalized because of how implausible their experiences were?
What does it feel like for a butterfly to emerge from is chrysalis? Is it the best stretch imaginable? Or is it slimy, itchy, and uncomfortable?
Or maybe it's both. And as it dries it's new wings? Does it know what's possible?
Does it know the threats, innately? Can it imagine flight?
I know there's so much going on. Please if you can-
Trump on NATO: "Until the last few days when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy."
(He means Greenland.)
Please contact your reps. They are trying to sell our resources, destroy our public lands. They are stealing from generations to come. Speak up
Coalitions are built for a shared objective.
The group project has a goal. That goal means working with people you might not have picked.
The objective, it's the priority.
Stop thinking you're going to find ground on everything. And move towards completing the objective.
Here's the strategy, imho....
Psst.
Register for your state primary.
Vote for the least corrupt option you have in every race.
But vote. Preferably in person.
Send a message. Loud and clear.
The man with the nuclear football has a torture fetish.
Release the files. Impeach remove and try every single person who abused, or facilitated the abuse of victims. All of them
Divest from their companies.
Stop propping up the oligarchy that dismantled our democracy for these monsters.

The dude has a torture kink, and we gave this mfer the nuclear football.

This is the video.
Pretend this is just us, this cancer of corruption metastasis occurred a long time ago. Upper limits of accountability have been shown global and systemically. When is enough enough?

This is global corporate oligarchs playing risk. The world knows it, the current us Gov is corrupt and they're using it. What are you going to do about it?
You still investing? Giving them leases to your resources? What's the upper limit for corporate accountability? You're not immune

This Venezuela offensive is about EXXONMOBIL. It's about a case they lost in July.
They own our media. They own our reps.
Divest.
Push your pensions to divest. Push your employers to divest.
Support anti corruption movements and candidates. Punch up, never down. Form uncomfortable coalitions.
Who was giving marching orders?
There's people above them. GM and JE. Who???
Are they still trafficking children? Laundering money? why are his accounts still open? Who's profiting? Why would it not be frozen through litigation?
Justice for the victims.
