Tomorrow is the 18th anniversary of the 9/11 catastrophe.
I still believe this video to be the best short explanation of what appears to have happened that day:
https://youtu.be/r-GppBpUeYg
Here are some recent developments you may have missed:
1. Robert Mueller appears to have helped cover up Saudi Arabia'a involvement:
https://nypost.com/2019/09/07/robert-mueller-helped-saudi-arabia-cover-up-its-role-in-9-11-attacks-suit/
2. A study has shown the official story of what happened to WTC-7 to be impossible:
https://thefreethoughtproject.com/tower-7-office-fires-study-collapse/
3. The "war on terror" has been a disaster for us and for the rest of the world:
https://buchanan.org/blog/what-911-wrought-the-bush-legacy-4868
We may never know exactly what happened on that day, but I'm convinced the official story is 100% BS.
Want to change my mind? A good, easy first step would be to release and publicize all the video surveillance tapes showing what really happened to the Pentagon on that day (i.e., all the tapes the FBI collected and sent down the memory hole). If they actually show a plane instead of a missile, I'll eat my hat (figuratively, of course).

Killing Christianity
I watched the movie The Celestine Prophecy last night. No, I have never read the book.
A few things occurred to me while watching the film:
1. The "prophecies" do not appear to be in conflict with the Bible. Indeed, they are quite concordant with the Book of Revelation and other passages.
2. I heard echoes of things mentioned by Leo Tolstoy in his book The Kingdom of God Is Within You.
3. Although it appeared the Catholic Church and the Peruvian authorities were the main antagonists in the plot, it should be mentioned that the USA - especially US corporations and their neoliberal approach to the global economy - also are responsible for what happened in Central and South America. The "prophecies" are very similar to the tenets and predictions of liberation theology, which the US and its corporations regard as a threat to the "stability" needed to guarantee a return on their investments in CA/SA economies.

Don't Apologize For Being Christian
Another public figure is being maligned for his Christian values. You can read about it here:
https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/saints/2019/09/05/drew-brees-new-orleans-saints-focus-family-video-lgbtq/2226844001/
As Jesus predicted, we shall be hated for His sake. There is no need to explain our beliefs - they're adequately explained in the Bible through the words of Jesus Himself.
If you don't want to hear them, that's your choice.

Lepers In LA ???
Yes, we in the US have a public health crisis on our hands. Here is one example of what I mean:
https://saraacarter.com/leprosy-could-be-the-next-public-health-crisis-to-hit-los-angeles/
Why do we have money for foreign escapades (i.e., needless wars) but none to help our own people here back home?
Uncle Sam, you are a disgrace.

Turning Chinese
We're becoming more like China every day. Here are a few discussions of that fact:

https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2019/08/21/what-globalism-did-was-to-transfer-the-us-economy-to-china/
Is this a good thing? I think not.
The powers that be are reveling in their impending destruction of the USA. Should you disagree with my assessment, you better take a hard look at our major cities, at our rapidly growing government-corporate-personal debt, and at our collapsing sense of morality.

Forgive Us Our Debts
"Debts that can't be paid won't be paid. What always is at issue is just how they won't be paid."
Dr. Hudson maintains that throughout history wise rulers have periodically forgiven a large portion of public debt to keep their economies from collapsing. You can read about his findings in the book titled ...and forgive them their debts (see https://www.amazon.com/forgive-them-their-debts-Foreclosure-ebook/dp/B07QGFZ7DW/).
Additional discussion of this issue can be found here:
https://www.truthdig.com/articles/the-key-to-a-sustainable-economy-is-5000-years-old/
You may have noticed that some of our politicians now want to "forgive" some portions of "our" debt. Here are two examples:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2019/06/17/elizabeth-warren-student-loan-debt-forgiveness/#558fb32b5e7b
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-sanders-idUSKCN1VL0QL
Do they really mean it, in the sense they want to help We the People, or are they supporting such measures merely to get elected to the White House? I think the answer can be found by looking at who is funding such candidates - US billionaires. Do billionaires really want our debts to be forgiven? I doubt it:
https://www.strategic-culture.org/news/2019/08/31/americas-billionaires-congealing-around-warren-and-buttigieg/
This development echoes what John Perkins wrote in his book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man (see https://www.amazon.com/Confessions-Economic-Hit-John-Perkins/dp/0452287081/). The powers that be have always known they can use unpayable debt to take over a nation's economy and further strip away its wealth. That's what they have done globally, and now they are doing it to the USA.
What are some of the ramifications of how "our" debt won't be paid? Here are some possibilities:
Do NOT, however, expect them EVER to cut the military budget. The Pentagon is Wall Street's global enforcement arm, and the rich cannot thrive without the ability to force other countries and peoples to pay "their" debts.
I totally agree with Dr. Hudson and Ellen Brown that some form of "jubilee" is exactly what We the People need to restore balance to our economy. In fact, that's the real meaning of the inscription on the so-called Liberty Bell - DEBT RELIEF:
"Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof."
(see Leviticus 25:10 - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Leviticus+25%3A10&version=KJV)
Isn't it time we stop accepting the notion that liberty means the "right" of the rich to oppress the poor ... and replace it with the realization that perpetual debt is the greatest tyranny of all?

- no more Social Security
- no more Medicare/Medicaid
- no more "safety net" of any kind
- privatization of most government programs
- privatization of most national parks, wilderness areas, and other publicly owned resources
- the criminalization of poverty and poor people
