Me: I’ve just begun. Got through the overview part of this long, juicy, meaty edition of her newsletter, but have yet to absorb any of the articles and videos she points to. And, what’s crucial here: Kathleen is optimistic! As am I.
IF we remain conscious and aware, IF we stop identifying with any single ghastly item we unearth, then, as we dig deeper and deeper, unearthing and exposing more and more horror, weirdness, hypocrisy, corruption, seeming impossibility, then, paradoxically, oddly enough, we find ourselves feeling lighter and lighter, less and less caught in any kind of polarized, concretized belief system that forces our natural largess into a cage, and drives us crazy with unprocessed grief, which we are then subtly or blatantly prodded to sour into impotent fury — against others, against the self.
Yuck.
BORING!
Instead, let us unleash our left brains — so that nothing, nothing is off limits to our inspection — in service to our right brains, synchronized with our hearts, open to the universe.

Reminder: On this powerful Full Moon day and Global Peace Meditation. I will observe this meditation, beginning at 3:44 PM EDT, with my stricken son Colin Cudmore, in his room at Majestic Care.

These three people I choose to inform me now:
Elizabeth Nickson: Given that her father was put in charge of a “work camp” for Jews after World War II and her mother was subjected to MK Ultra mind control experimentation, Nickson is nobody’s fool. Here’s her perspective on how the current slaughter is being used to further mind control humanity into stunned oblivion.
Jonathan Cook: I hate to admit it, but I had never heard the phrase “settler-colonial” state until today. And Cook shows how deeply meaningful is this phrase.
Chris Hedges: Riffing further on “settler colonial state,” this from the passionate, deeply seasoned, war correspondent whom I remember discovering during the all-too-brief “99 percent” revolt in 2011.

”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
