There is a brutal man with a gun, controlling and threatening a group of good citizens with consciences. He’s going to do terrible things to them, and make them do terrible things themselves.

They have him outnumbered, but he has the gun. If they rush him, they can easily defeat him. But, the first one or two or three or four people to move forward will be shot and probably die painfully. Going first is going to cost a terrible price and you don’t know for sure that anyone else will follow you, that your sacrifice will be for anything at all.

You feel a little paralyzed and at the same time ashamed you are just standing there.

That was a great read. How did they do getting rid of rats and mosquitoes?

Yikes. I opened the web page and saw an ad. Started the radio, heard an ad.

Lots of lurid details.

Only two other rich guys named Leon Black [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Black] and Jes Staley [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jes_Staley].

Not to mention Prince Andrew and Bill Clinton, of course.

That’s rich people pulling the strings.

Protection racket

Colonialism coming back to the home country.

IDF kompromat on Fetterman, could explain a lot.

I think he misunderstands where he fit into this scenario.

Putin will probably take the US crime in Venezuela as permission to escalate and kill Zelensky, regardless of how many Ukrainian people are also murdered in the process.

I suspect China also feels a sense of freedom to go get Taiwan.

It’s like the movie Brazil

This was empowering. Thank you.
