    I think Sleepy Joe is trying to keep up his tough guy act. He's probably worried about his poll numbers and for a good reason too.

    I bring this to the tent without commentary about it. I will say the music in the video has a 'welcome to the other side' kind of feel to it. Evoking images of partying with the Ancestors. I did find the article topic of interest. The actual article is rather emotional.

    Canadian Fashion Firm Releases Ad Celebrating "Beauty" Of Assisted Suicide

    The prominent Canadian fashion and home decor retailer Simons is coming under fire for glorifying suicide as a marketing ploy.

    The company recently produced and released a three-minute film which celebrates the planned assisted suicide of Jennyfer Hatch. More recently, after the project was completed, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation confirmed that "The 37-year-old died on Oct. 23 and chose medical assistance in dying (MAID) after dealing with complications and chronic pain associated with her diagnosis of Ehlers Danlos syndrome, a group of inherited disorders that affect the connective tissue supporting many body parts

    No leader without followers.

    The irony of his words were met with nervous laughter.

    It is amusing hearing that from a very successful cult leader.

    But if we're going to be getting cutesy with that one, I'd put it more as "by the powerful, for the conditioned, and answerable to no one".

    My own preferable/cutesy term for 'retarded' is, humble intellects.

    It is how I personally experience such persons. With compassion.

    Confronting The Stupidity might be a more apt title.

    Three speakers, clueless in Creation, riff on concept rooted in ignorance.

    I was in the kitchen preparing food with the video playing in the background.

    Face-palms and groans.

    However, a mystic is a poor judge for most listeners. It might be a profound video

    All three speakers have good hearts.

    A system based in truth can withstand liars.

    But a system based on lies cannot withstand truth-tellers.

    We're on the same page again. Just a while ago I was chewing on this oldie but goodie:

    I had never heard of Matt Ehret before and my first taste is a good one. He is represents a new form of thinking that is informed by wisdom.

    Africa is discussed for a good length and a general geo-political assessment is covered. Mercouris allows Matt to speak at length and it had a good flow with a sober perspective from Matt.

    That was good, Matt Ehret is quite accomplished. Excellent topic coverage, some of it even over my head admittedly, but I had to call it quits around the 50 minute mark - too much information for one sitting.

    Damn that dude can rattle off some information, savant like with a photographic memory.

    These are the kinds of people need listening to in times like this, The Duran seldom disappoints.

    Vlahos brought out the best of MacGregor. He asked good quesstions that showed the Colonel has depth in his subject. A great meeting of minds for much needed realism during the Fog Of War. FOW being a good term for what is passing for news.
