@glenn_hughes 1) "I Don't Want to Live That Way Again" (1996)


Luke 15:20-24
While he was yet at a distance, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and embraced him & kissed him ...
@glenn_hughes 2) "And the son said, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet ...
@glenn_hughes 3) " ... and bring the fatted calf and kill it, and let us eat and make merry; for this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’"

1) "To Comrades of the Spartacus League" -- Leon Trotsky (3/9/19) Excerpts

"Kautsky understood the proletariat, having seized revolutionary power, would not stake the fate of the Revolution upon the fleeting moods of the least conscious & still unawakened masses of the moment...
2) " ... but would, on the contrary, transform the entire state power concentrated in its hands into a mighty apparatus of enlightenment and organization of the most backward and most ignorant peasant masses.
3) "But Kautsky refused to issue a certificate of baptism to the Russian Revolution because it was not legally certified by the political department of bourgeois democracy. An astonishing fact! What incredible debasement of Marxism!"

@seanmdav "Niagara Falls! Slowly I turned ... step by step ... inch by inch ..."

A sketch in which a wronged man recounts to an hapless stranger his memory of the day he took revenge on his enemy – & becomes so engrossed in his own tale that he attacks the man to whom he is speaking.
@seanmdav 1) Intel Striptease Lays Bare
Hillary's Plan to Decapitate Trump

In "Sisters of Salome," author Toni Bentley recounts how Mesopotamian Goddess Inanna had to "relinquish her ... robes at each of the seven gates to the underworld until she stood naked in the 'land of no return.'
@seanmdav 2) Oscar Wilde, in his play "Salomé," evokes the Inanna myth in Salomé's Dance of the 7 Veils for the head of John the Baptist, a "symbolic descent to the underworld of the unconscious, a ceremony that equates stripping naked to being in a state of truth, the ultimate unveiling."

@TheLastRefuge2 1) It’s all about cheap labor, fatter margins, and bigger bonuses:

President Trump’s “America First” agenda has really put the squeeze on Corporate America, and the US Chamber of Commerce has fought him every step of the way.
@TheLastRefuge2 2) American Big Business has heretofore written off the blackmail it pays the Social Justice Industry as a cost of doing business, in exchange for moving their product manufacturing and assembly to sweat-shops overseas.
@TheLastRefuge2 3) What does the executive class care, so long as they can show their boards fatter margins and ever-expanding bottom lines, on which their obscene fiscal year-end “performance” bonuses are based.

1) Abraham Lincoln Cooper Union Speech (2/27/1860)

"Your purpose, plainly stated, is that you will destroy the Government, unless you be allowed to construe & enforce the Constitution as you please, on all points in dispute between you & us. You will rule or ruin in all events."
2) "You'll not abide the election of a Republican President! In that event, you will destroy the Union; & then the great crime of having destroyed it will be upon US! A highwayman holds a pistol to my ear & mutters 'Stand & deliver, or I shall kill you & YOU will be a murderer!'"
3) "Let us not be diverted by any of those sophistical contrivances by which we are so industriously plied & belabored - contrivances such as groping for some middle ground between the right & the wrong, vain as the search for a man who should be neither living nor dead ...

1) “Look What I Just Found”

In HBO’s outstanding “Perry Mason” reboot, beat cop Paul Drake drops by defense attorney Mason’s house late at night for a Come-to-Jesus moment. Days earlier, Drake had given Mason a key piece of physical evidence, a bit of a decedent’s denture.
2) Officer found the denture at a crime scene but chose not to turn over to the corrupt DA. By handing over the denture to Mason, Drake knowingly violated the law regarding the chain of evidence. By accepting it, Mason knew he would not be able to introduce at trial.
3) Officer Drake tells Mason that he could turn the case in favor of his client if Mason would just present the denture at trial. Mason reminds Drake that it would be illegal to do so.
