Taking a Stand

Gone to ground means that I am literally grounding in the nature that surrounds me.

My Thoughts on Current Situation in the US

I realize I may lose some friends or clients for posting this, and some of my family may consider my views shameful. But more and more I feel as if history is repeating itself here in the United States with striking similarity to the rise of other authoritarian regimes.

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” — George Orwell

  • The Trump Administration is implementing a fascist ideology with textbook precision that demonstrates extensive planning.
  • The government is gaslighting the public.
  • ICE is the new Gestapo.
  • Christian Nationalism is fascism with a pious mask.
  • Dangerous immigrants do exist, and so do dangerous citizens and both dangers need to be contained. Gestapo tactics are not the way.
  • ALL humans should be treated with dignity.
  • ALL of creation should be treated with dignity.
  • All of the bullying, aggressiveness, threatening actions our government is taking towards other nations and against our own people who oppose fascism is collectively meant to push envelopes, to create overwhelm and mental exhaustion so the final phase of domination can be completed with less resistance. OR it’s just a distraction from the Epstein files that are yet to be released.

Constant resistance to this fascist takeover will lead to exhaustion. The virtual door to my website and social media is open to offer some time away from the madness. Rest your mind and spirit for a spell.

      It’s a very strange situation we’re in here – everyone sees the same things and yet not everyone agrees that they’re seeing the same thing. It’s like we’re looking through two different windows at the same scene and yet one window shows an upside down backwards image and the viewer thinks it’s reality. And of course, we both think the other one has the distorted lens. It’s incredibly bizarre.

      This is a really good analogy, the “two different windows”. I hope that enough of the population in the States and the rest of the world can finally know that what the eyes are seeing, is real and that we make our way back to, at least the majority, demanding democracy and respect for human rights. We are not immune to this kind of thing happening in Canada either, so we can’t afford to be smug about it.
