I am forwarding your article to several friends whom have belief systems similar to mine, friends with whom I have conversations regarding our current state and trying to find action we can take on an individual level. You have made the dangers very clear and it is up to us to make sure that we take the steps to begin dismantling the practices that are now in place, time to give those in power who are the instigators a big kick in the backside!
Aw, thank you for spreading the word, Diane! I appreciate that greatly. There is so much at stake on November 5th. We have to work hard to make keep our freedom and democracy alive! &:^)
Can't imagine the level of stress we, the sane, sensible, caring and empathetic voters are experiencing due to the fools who want to drawn everyone with them, and kill our democracy to fulfill their racist desires not realizing that they're actually doing the bidding of the fascist, rapist conman who only wants to stay out of jail and be king for life, and helping cfoligarchs to become yet more obscenely rich while killing women and marginalized groups.
we are witnessing the orchestration of a power grab to steal the resources of this country into a dark world of fascism. It starts with hyper lying to the people such that they are now confused and don’t know which way to turn. It is a sick type of religion, where the leader is sent from God, however, this is what we were warned about in the book of revelations - the false prophets. Banning books and privatization of our public schools are all part of the process; control information/knowledge. Timothy Snyder wrote an excellent book titled The Road To Unfreedom, in which he describes the cult like behavior, what the cult leader does, what the followers want, and how it all fits together. If you were walking around with your head nearly exploding from I can’t believe this is happening and how can this be happening then do yourself a favor and read this book. It will shine a very bright light and explain what you are witnessing daily.
Actually People who read are the greatest threat to Fascists as they can expose lies with facts. This book burning is always connected to the takeover of a culture by totalitarian regimes. This included the Council of Nicaea when they decided what should go into the Bible they created and burned anything they and the Roman Emperor disagreed with. That's directly responsible for the Evangelicals currently demanding a new Emperor now.
Be suspicious of the words: life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It is almost certain that the third right is a reference to property. You can see it plainly in Article 1 of the 14th Amendment. It is based on John Locke who used the phrase as a synonym for property. It was, presumably, drafted by Jefferson whose reputation has fallen drastically. The most valuable property then were chattel slaves. Apparently Jefferson had a hand in making the stock more valuable by banning the restocking from Africa. I read a post that said a liquidation sale of 400 slaves in 1859 yielded the equivalent of $10 million.

I don't think people who read are exactly the greatest threat that needs squashing.

This is the reason, many years ago I chose not to teach. This attitude is not entirely new.

The only books they want read in school are:
1. Dick and Jane at the Seashore
2. Project 2025
3. The Bible
4. The Art of the Deal
We'll just hire "safe" immigrants to do all the jobs that require thinking.
Thank you so much.
