One of my closest friends, John Wood Jr. with Braver Angels, launched a podcast. His goal is to bring America together. John is a Conservative and I'm a Liberal but he often talks about him and I running for office together one day on a unity ticket. I don't know about that but I would support him in any office he runs for.
His first guest, Dave Rubin. Check it out.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.
Kim, this post will be a little different, but worth your while.
Please skim the intro of this book (up to page 4 or pages 3-4) as it discusses something I think you'll find interesting. I will post the link to the PDF and paste a piece of it, below:
Crowley, Aleister - 1904 - The Book of the Law.pdf (free)
Exerpt: Consider the outcrop of dictatorships, only possible when moral growth is in its earliest stages, and the prevalence of infantile cults like Communism, Fascism, Pacifism, Health Crazes, Occultism in nearly all its forms, religions sentimentalised to the point of practical extinction.
Consider the popularity of the cinema, the wireless, the football pools and guessing competitions, all devices for soothing fractious infants, no seed of purpose in them. Consider sport, the babyish enthusiasms and rages which it excites, whole nations disturbed by disputes between boys.
Consider war, the atrocities which occur daily and leave us unmoved and hardly worried. We are children.
So the arguments over the ceasefire have already begun. Iran says that the agreement for a 2 week pause included Lebanon. Israel says it will carry on with it’s attempted land grab.
The Iranian leaders must be extremely patient because we all know that Israel will not be content until Iran has been Gazafied and it’s indigenous population are living like rats whilst the IDF takes potshots at them on a Friday afternoon!
Perhaps the real point of the ceasefire is to allow time for the US to set up the THAAD missile defence system recently relocated from South Korea
