I think this is now the "S.O.P." for the, "Army".. the, "Navy".. the, "Air Force".. and... uh.. "Space Force"? Actually, it would seem that "Space Force" started with this policy straight out of the political "racing gates". 🏇 HF! Have you heard the theme song?? 🎶👨🤡👲🎶 youtu.be/EdK9RRpofI4

We have altered planetary cycles - to our peril. What's coming cannot be stopped because global processes have been set in motion by humans that will take centuries to stabilize - after millions or billions die. And BONUS! The fascist oligarchs, crypto and A.I. are putting it on steroids.

Well, well, well…. An analysis of voter registration records reveals Republican operative Scott Presler had 3 out-of-state voters use his Pennsylvania address to vote in the 2024 election. This is what voter fraud looks like.

If a tech company told you their device was 8-12x more effective and 100x cheaper than competitors, you’d fund it instantly. That device exists. It’s called an existing forest. Fund forest protection like critical infrastructure.

We are seeing RECORD Black turnout across the south. The racist republicans in congress and our courts have made a terrible mistake, and Black voters will lead the charge to vote them out and hold them accountable!

Mythology is propagated by tribal traditions that begin right after birth. Accepted as a given that's never questioned. An important part of the indoctrination is acknowledging victimhood/martyrs who came before and to whom a debt is owed. Jesus died for your sins, etc.
