There are people in this world willing to sacrifice themselves for their ideology. The far-right believe those not willing to do so are cowards. There are those that have been waiting desperately for a civil war. The last few years, there has been in increase in accelerationists Those willing to do whatever they can to accelerate the country they believe it should be. The question here is quite easy to answer. Why would a gun toting registered Republican attempt to shoot Trump and not Biden? Because the shooter knew that the most likely of people to

In 2016 there were endless media reports about Hillary Clinton and her health. This gave Trump a narrative. Trump stated that she she "lacks the mental and physical stamina to take on Isis [Islamic State] and all of the many adversaries we face". The media continued day after day stating her health was declining. That she kept it quiet. That her health had been deteriorating and she never recovered after a a blood clot that she suffered in 2012, and is keeping her frailty secret.
Her doctors stated she was in excellent health. So how did we go

Project 25 will remove the use of language that will no longer be supported through federal agencies. Some of the words no longer recognised will be:

Sexual orientation and gender identity (“SOGI”), diversity, equity, and inclusion, gender, gender equality, gender equity, gender awareness, gender-sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights.” 

Among policies areas in Project 2025 are:
•Eliminating LGBTQ rights
•Eradicating federal funding for DEI programs
•Purging the government of apolitical civil servants

THE FAILURE OF AMERICAN CHRISTIANITY 🧵

Let’s be honest. It didn’t start out to well in America. From the slaughtering of native people. For the use of slavery and justifying it using the Bible. To Manifest Destiny.
However, it really took the drastic turn in the 1940’s. After the crash in the 20’s and the following Depression, capitalism was a dirty word in America. The average American blamed the wealthy and their greed for the state of the country. FDR, with his New Deal used the social gospel to help the average American. Capitalists and corporate

Project 2025 is “a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.” The primary document of Project 2025, the magazine explains, lays out what is essentially a “Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist.”
It’s a terrifying vision of what American life could look

Because of my distaste for American Christianity, people assume that I am not spiritual. This couldn’t be further from the truth. What I actually believe is that every single country in the world is soaked in the soul of ancestors and their beliefs. I truly think that if this is altered in any way, it affects everything. We might dispel old faiths such as paganism but I think these beliefs are penetrated into a country. Into the rocks. Into the woods and trees. Into everything. Almost into a deeply rooted collective consciousness of the place. When it is

For the first time in ALL of history, billionaires paid less tax than the average worker under Trump. The richest 400 families in US paid an average tax rate of 23% while the bottom half of households paid a rate of 24.2%.
Billionaire business owners deployed lobbyists to make sure Trump’s 2017 tax bill was tailored to their benefit. The wealthy believed they should not be held to the standards of taxes. That taxes should be the burden of the average American. It is the same with law thinking. That the wealthy shouldn’t have to be burdened with the

For centuries kings, priests, feudal lords, industrial bosses and parents have insisted that obedience is a virtue and that disobedience is a vice. In order to introduce another point of view, let us set against this position the following statement: human history began with an act of disobedience, and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience. Human history was ushered in by an act of disobedience according to the Hebrew and Greek myths. Adam and Eve, living in the Garden of Eden, were part of nature; they were in harmony

When the segregationist George Wallace faced the moral challenge of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and the civil rights movement in 1960s Alabama, he also called upon religious leaders to vouch for him. “By no stretch of the imagination is George C Wallace a racist,” Dr Henry L Lyon, the pastor of Montgomery’s Highland Avenue Baptist church, testified. “He has shown fairness to all people, regardless of race or color,” the Rev RL Lawrence, a Methodist minister, concurred. They were vouching for the same Wallace who had infamously declared in his inaugural

She was tall. She was commanding. She was intelligent. He was the only woman to ride her own chariot. She was a teacher. A philosopher. She was kind and elegant. Everyone knew her. Her beauty was legendary, and equaled only, it was said, by her intelligence. Tall and confident, commanding her chariot with ease, clothed in a long robe and the signature scarf of the teaching class, she must have cut a striking figure in the thriving streets of that most cosmopolitan of cities. On a March day in 415, she entered a public square near the Caesarean Church

Women would be forced into back-alley abortions, Blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors and make raids, and schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution. Writers and artists would be censored at the whim of government. This was the 1980’s. This was what Robert Bork wanted. He wanted a seat on the Supreme Court. Joe Biden was having none of it. They believed that Biden would be no match for Bork. That Bork would wipe the floor with Biden. Biden had been in the senate for less than 20 years and

I thought I would remind everyone of the speech Biden gave quoting the German Jesuit Alfred Delp. Delp was part of the resistance against Hitler, and was executed by the Nazis:
“At first, we are shaken to our depths, and then we’re ready for a season of hope. As a nation, we’ve certainly been shaken to our depths this year. Now it’s time to wake, to get moving, a time for hope. We’ve gotten through tough times before in this nation. We’ll get through these difficult times as well. We’ll do it by coming together, by working with one another.”

There will

There is a reason MAGA Republicans state that the DOJ is corrupt. It’s purely because they are corrupt and support corruption and don’t want accountability for corruption.

They try to hide themselves behind religion. This is their lie too. Evil people will always use religion. They try to come across as moral crusaders, whilst being the most immoral and amoral of all people. Hitler did it. He used Christianity and supposed Christians turned and looked in the other direction whilst people were slaughtered and carried on reading their cherry-picked Bible

When someone treats you as an object they are willing to harm for their own benefit, abuse has occurred, and that person has become an abuser. Some of the worst forms of abuse are psychological. The victim may never be physically touched but nevertheless is traumatized by the experience of being emotionally manipulated and held captive by lies, threats, and neglect. Abuse always begins with language. This language is evil’s greatest secret. Unknown to most, even its users, this language provides evil with its primary desire: power. It’s a power

Singing songs, reciting slokas and verses . . . they appear through a fog of incense.
One is all.
All is one.
All is love.
Love, love, love.
Practice compassion.
Meditate upon loving-kindness.
Serve, serve, serve.
Practice meditation. Practice mindfulness. The four noble truths. The eightfold path.
Buddha says this and that. The Gita says this and that.
Aum. Sat. Chit. Ananda.
Do this. Do not do that.
Be this way. Not this way.
Give. Do not take.
Practice this. And that. And that.
Right speech. Right action. Right this. Right that.

You know, each birthday is a time to reflect. I was thinking about the lack of maturity we have in the world. Particularly from men. Men seem to have this inability of self-reflection. To look at themselves with a very critical eye. The biggest sign of immaturity is blaming the whole world for your life. Those who followed me long enough know that I did not have an easy childhood. Even as a child and teenager I had the ability of looking at the adults around me and saying to myself, “ These people aren’t right. They are off. I will never become these

Before the Civil Rights movement, white “Christians” were able to say what they liked to whip up voters. All they had to do was mention the N word to get voters all fired up. Whilst these words were still used in private, they declined publicly by government officials. They just had to assure they had other words to get those same voters foaming at the mouth. Reagan would use phrases like “welfare queen” and “bucks” to vilify poor Blacks. Illegals and thugs do the same. Communist” and “socialist” have been racially coded since the “red scares” of the

If you were to ask the majority of “Christians” in America,
“Who was John Milton?”
I expect you’d get a shrug of the shoulders.
When you see comments, CONTINUOUSLY, from these people. You know their idea of Christianity is based on John Milton’s “Paradise Lost.”
They refer to demons, Satan, Hell, the snake as the Devil etc etc, that has no biblical relevance. It’s all based on this fictional book written in 1667. It’s no surprise that church ministers used this book to scare people of Hell and demons and the Devil. Not many people in the 1600’s

Lots of criticism of Jack Smith and Merrick Garland today. I for one have been someone stating these things take time. There is a process.
However…I have lost faith in both of them. I have lost faith in the entire judicial system. The wealthy and powerful and now treated like royalty in the 1500’s. Where law only applied to the “common people.” We knew this all along, but yet again we put faith in those we think will bring fairness and justice. It never happens. Then again, it is America. With a history of this. Ask any Black person in America

Now the world is complex. I understand how that complexity can be very confusing to MAGA. Sometimes they need help.
They are emotional. They don’t know details. They just react without knowing facts.
Republicans like Moaning Traitor Greene is the epitome of this.
They like to talk and scream about Ukraine Aid and will actually stop border control (an issue they don’t want to deal with) complaining about Ukraine Aid. They literally tell the American people that we are just giving Ukraine billions of dollars. Yes they do receive some. The word Aid is

Who is John Nelson Darby? He is a man that changed American Christianity. Based on his own views of the Bible. He was called a heretic. Pushing his own agenda and manipulating the Bible.
However, he found success amongst American “Christians.” He created “rapture theology.” He was a dispensationalist. Using literal interpretation and a futurism view interprets “portions” of the Book of Revelation, the Book of Ezekiel, and the Book of Daniel as future events in a literal, physical, apocalyptic, and global context. For 18 centuries there was no such
