Well... At least you've accomplished what you set out to do... that being to extend the olive branch to our enemies. Now that's out of the way we can get down to the business of thwarting their plans of ultimate control.

Wonderful, articulate, and thought provoking article which I have little to add except this: Ignore what they say and watch what they do.

Great post!!!!!!! Thank you, I agree the Bad Guys are trying to undo us every which way, they are kind of freaking out, I think. Because they will never, ever get what they seek, because they CAN'T. Even if they kill everybody else, THEY CANNOT WIN. Because the Great Spirit will take them down, no matter what. We the People... we are part of something that cannot really die, not in the long term. We die from these bodies, but we carry on. So we have a job to do, but if we die while doing it, or not doing it, we are still immortal beings, and we'll carry on on some other plane, some other "time," whatever. I can't give you specifics because I don't KNOW in this little brain I have. But my heart knows...

I think it's great that you take the time and the effort to say, "One last chance?" to the Evil Ones.

I used to believe that Human Beings can "see the Light" and change their ways... Well, WE can, but they CAN'T. I don't know if I can really call psychopaths "Human Beings"-- Without a conscience, ARE they actually truly Human? I don't know. What I do know is that I've never, ever heard of a psychopath or sociopath (pretty much the same animal, I'd say, and not worth a lot of argument, either, I'd also say) changing their spots and developing REMORSE. They don't somehow "grow" a conscience.

No, I don't think they ever do. They don't know HOW. They sneer at the idea. They are contemptuous of the things that people like us hold dear, such as egalitarianism, ecological protections, kindness to animals, the awesomeness of a sunrise, the sheer joy of walking in a field and hearing the wind in the trees, watching little birds flit about... well, you get it.

I love that you feel compelled to give them a chance... Don't bother. I am a very forgiving person, and I am told I am highly compassionate, and I do know that I have a very high level of empathy-- And it goes further than that: I can feel within me what others feel, physically. I may not always be able to get it clearly, or be able to name it (usually, I can), and I can tell you this-- What I get from those with no conscience is Not Good. It's not like apathy, or like how some kids get bullied badly and grow up being very angry and taking it out on others-- It's different. It's dark, and it's scary, and for lack of a better word, it's just EVIL. It's as if there is NO LIGHT IN THEM AT ALL.

Don't feel like you need to give any of these people who are trying to KILL US, kill the Earth, kill millions and millions of animals and plants and waters a second chance, a last chance-- They will LAUGH AT YOU. They are not salvageable, I strongly feel; they are not like the rest of us, even as damaged as some of us can be. They don't have the same apparatus as we do.

I am sorry to say these things.

I am sorry that I feel I need to say them.

I don't WANT to say them, but I feel we are in Dire Peril and it's my duty to say them. So I said them.

I am a humorist, I am someone full of love and joy, but this Darkness... It's very, very dangerous.

We must be clear-eyed and unblinking.

I loved "We know who and what we are and more and more discover each day." What a fine trick to lead me to think you were going to say 'what you are' and then flip it!

I figured they'd be using regenerative any day now. Sustainable had already been twisted. Rule #1 in the propaganda playbook--make the words mean the opposite of what they did. And you go for the key element--regenerative has to be small-scale, localized, decentralized. Nice article, tough topic.

An excellent article, Gavin! Thank you for pointing out the weaponization of terms and ideas that at their heart are so very, very beneficial to humankind. And thank you for your return to love, again and again, even as you call out those who are acting out of fear.
