We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.
Writes Charles Hugh Smith:
In the decade ahead, if we want solutions / fixes /changes, we're going to have to make them happen in our own lives. We can start with the full range of meaning in the phrase get lean: replace the fat of wasted time, "entertainment," "news," consumerist indulgences and relying on the government and corporations to take care of us with the often difficult and tedious work of becoming less dependent on institutions and companies to secure what we value.
If we want a secure supply of food, grow some of our own. If we want to be healthy, then get healthy on our own. If we want a career, then hammer one out ourselves by owning our skills and taking responsibility for getting full value for them. If we want an education, then get it ourselves, not by borrowing a fortune but by figuring out how to learn what we want to learn on our own, at the lowest possible cost in time and money.
If we want a secure water supply, then we better buy a water tank. If we want reliable electricity, then we better arrange to save up and invest in our own system, however modest. If it charges phones, keeps the Internet connected, powers a few lights, and is sustainable, then that's a lot better than having nothing but a flashlight.
Get lean means getting rid of the garbage weighing us down: the garbage food, the garbage consumption of junk we don't need, the garbage social media and "entertainment," the garbage debt, the junk we don't even use that's in storage, the garbage unpaid shadow work imposed by our corporate masters and government agencies, and the garbage narratives that keep us focused on what the globalists might be doing instead of what we can do for ourselves in the real world.
Whoever says that America has never had trouble with Muslims forgets the fact that Jihadis were enslaving, torturing and murdering Americans from the days of our War of Independence. We went into debt to create a navy and Marine Corps to fight these faithful Muslims into a temporary setback and a treaty of peace (which was later broken by them).
"The idea that [Muslims] hate us because of what we're doing in "their region" also founders on the fact that it wouldn't be "their region" at all had it not been for a series of aggressive jihad conquests against peoples who were not waging war against the Muslims or threatening them in any way.
"As The History of Jihad shows, there have been 1,400 uninterrupted years of jihad conquest, and never a period in which there were cordial relations of mutual respect between Muslim and non-Muslim political entities, based on the non-Muslim entities' good behavior in staying out of "their region."
-- Robert Spencer
Because their stated missions were so patriotic and humanitarian.
"NGOs are now planning a color revolution in the United States using Americans’ tax money. The Rockefeller, Koch, Soros foundations intend to break us. And they have a trillion a year to spend using our repurposed tax money."
Elizabeth Nickson
Why not destroy the world's political and historic realities with deluded politically-correct fantasies and call them Truth?
"A feminist historian argues William Shakespeare did not write his famous plays and sonnets. The real author was a black Jewish woman, she claims.
Irene Coslet makes the assertion in her new book “The Real Shakespeare: Emilia Bassano Willoughby,” published by Pen and Sword Books, according to The Telegraph."
