“We Have The Power To Stop Donald Trump” - Sen. Elizabeth Warren

A gentle reminder that Democrats & citizens alike can fight back against Rump's criminal acts.

We're not as powerless as Reps would like us to be.

But, we can only stand up if we have truly strong leaders.

AOC & Bernie Sanders are leading that fight right now.

But, they need our full support.

Don't be afraid to stand up for your self & our nation.

You're not as alone as you might think.

Get in the fight!

Let's kick the Nazis out of every office they soil with their presence.

Let's send them back into the shadows of history...

End.

Bernie Sanders | The American people are not dumb.

They understand that when the top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90%, that when big money interests are able to control both political parties, they are living in an oligarchy.

Still looking for love.

Hello lovely people

Here I am as promised. I am an advocate of expressing the raw emotions and feelings in front of a safer person or group. When I look back to understand the bickering and arguments in our relationship by our, I mean my husband and I, it was a cry for attention on my part and frustration to get away for my husband’s side. Both of us got trapped because circumstances changed pretty quickly. From a new relationship to a commitment fairly soon. I never thought I’d ever do anything like that. He seemed vulnerable and scared to loose me at that point. Everything went well. I was happy and ups and downs, I accepted over enthuse in-laws as by product of the reunion. Soon we got married and things start to go downhill. He started to behave as if he needs guidance of his family about everything, every little thing. They started having their say in everything. Initially I thought he must be scared of starting a new part of his life but then I used to think “what about me?”, “I have chosen to live with you leaving my family behind.” So we moved in with his mother. She acted like a boss and treat me like a employee there. I used to find that funny in the beginning but annoying later on. She meant every single word she uttered. That was not a joke. I found out I was pregnant and suggested my husband that we should move out now. All hell let loose and he said he or me had no clue how to look after a baby so no point of moving out together. “Wait a minute, not moving out together but you are going leaving me here, how is that fair?”

“You will be living with family. Who can be better than mum?” I wanted to say, “my mum please.” But couldn’t. I was shocked. I remember clearly I used to cry so easily at that point. That used to irritate him a lot. Everything was too much and my mind was playing yes and no, explain, describe, multiple choice questions, reasoning, probability everything. I was finding it hard to understand. I didn’t talk to my mum or my brothers or friends at this point about the situation. That was my biggest mistake till date. I advised my readers to speak to your trusted friend/parent/sibling or helpline to understand a situation. I don’t want to used modern language of gaslighting, narcissistic behaviour, silent abuse, manipulation or any other word. Because let’s say, I don’t know the words till date. If it’s happening to you, you are living it. Your mind can’t take a rational objective decision. You don’t realise something is wrong until it is very wrong. Anyways, he left me pregnant, his behaviour changed. He started to call me less and less. Video calls on late nights just to see me, he would say. By see me, I mean see me naked. He would say that he seemed to have forgotten how i looked and i wanted to see my growing belly. I felt loved. I did what he asked. Then he would masterbate and sleep. I started to feel disgusted and disconnected. I wanted him to talk to me. We were husband and wife and I did not mind him asking me to see me like that. But just to do that. It was not good. I am a person too with emotional needs, he would say “what do you want to talk about? I have already asked my mum about your doctor visits. She keeps me updated.”

“You can ask me. That way we can talk more.”

“No, mum thinks you need rest. You are still working, aren’t you? “ Eventually, he stopped calling me saying phones had bad radiation so not good for growing babies, mum researched.

He came only once during this time and didn’t show up after my baby’s birth. I had to move out because it was getting too suffocating and I had to get back to work. My baby was seven months now. He hadn’t seen his father all this time. His father showed up for his brother’s wedding and I caught him. I questioned him and he replied he was working hard for our future. He was there to take us. I was stupid to believe all that. I resigned and booked my flights. I didn’t show up at his place all this time because I was unsure about the future of this relationship but he showed up and all went back to his ways.

I remember I used to drop a random text to remind him that i exist, when he didn’t answer for hours, I would drop another to irritate him and finally the one to pick fight. Then he answered and I always felt heard in that moment. Was it really a conversation though? was I really heard in that moment? Because I might have caused damages to our relationship by picking those fights because when he was swearing and cursing me I wasn’t hearing anything, I just heard his mouth talking. Or maybe our relationship was always damaged and flawed. We could never see it. He was furious every single time I mention that we deserve to be happier and we end up hurting each other but I was satisfied at least he mouth was saying words to me. The relationship was doomed from the beginning. I could see it but i didn’t want to address it. I loved him. He was the only man I ever loved like that. I don’t understand love any other way.

As I grew up, saw families,  partners, I felt empty. Then I made a piece with my plantomania as my kids call it. I bought lots and lots of house plants. I looked after them, cherished them, kept them alive like my children. Then I started buying hand bags, dresses and books. I never realised when did we became distant. I miss closeness what other people have. Is it too late for me to have that kind of connection. Is it a sin to feel like breaking all ties from him and his family even when I have cancer and my life is limited? I don’t know what it is but I wish to feel warmth of love some day, any day, one day. My heart wants it. I can’t tolerate the yucky thoughts that I get when I see him. I am not able to respect him or trust him. There is nothing about husband or wife between us. There is greed in his eyes and I feel pity for him. I want to get away from this situation. I don’t want to have the sudden rush of feelings for him. I don’t want to play sorry game. I don’t need sympathy from visitors because my poor husband is feeling certain way towards me. Why I am not able to tell them it is all a lie. He can easily pass any audition for a day time drama shows. I need to get away because I am not able to hate him still. I am a poor case of Stockholm syndrome. He sometimes gets frustrated and yell at me “What do you want? Who do you think you are? Look at yourself!” Cancer has devastated me in many ways but I always thought love is not superficial. But then I remember him introducing me to a group of his friends long time ago and told me later that night that he was glad I looked better than most of their wives. I was speechless and thrilled at the same time. I realised appearances are a big deal in his family. He has been brought up like that. No no I am not defending his behaviour, just trying to understand. How can I forget he chose me in the first place because I was one notch up in my group and very much his type. What happens when life takes its toll. He is not the same. He has a big paunch and sniffles and sneezes because of allergies. He has almost seventy percent gray hair, unevenly tanned skin. But I still like him because we have travelled that distance together however we have. Are men shallow? Are husbands shallow? I am sure they are not. I have so many examples of true gentlemen husbands, brothers and fathers. So no, not all are like that. He often says that if he  could he would have never married. He loved his freedom. Hmm, true, wives love to be caged, do they? All the husbands and wives are caged if you believe him. I believe in love still. Whatever I had and I still have with him isn’t love. It’s anything but love. I am still looking for love. I am looking for love. Love is beautiful I heard. I want to feel the beauty. Big cheers to love. If you are loved by someone, cherish them, you are the luckiest. 

On a happy note today.

Hugs

P

Disclosure Update 2025

By Agni Lakshya

Featured Video: Gaia.com - Open Minds: Citizens for Disclosure

Featured Video: Dr. Greer Podcast - Episode #8

Considering we have a new President and changes in Congress and the Senate, I felt it was appropriate to give another disclosure update on the UFO phenomenon. It has been a year since they passed the UAP Bill which stipulated the confiscation of all illegal UFO materials currently hiding in Special Access Projects run by corporate interests with zero oversight by either the military, the executive branch or the legislative branch who funds such operations.

Congressional hearings with inside whistle blowers has continued, and most in congress are at least familiar with and upset by the situation which has been hidden from everyone for 70 years. I have always contended that while I understand why they started out with the Majic-12 group shortly after the end of WWII, it quickly spiraled into the hands of those who do not necessarily have our country's or our planet's interests at heart.

It has been corrupted, weaponized, and regularly used against our own people, controlling our governments, businesses, and power through force, coercion, and ridicule. Enough is enough, and it is time to unravel this conspiracy and take back that which belongs to all humans. Finally, we have politicians onboard with this new plan, and they are building a task force with subpoena powers to begin the confiscation.

Fortunately, this has come to a head as more and more insiders want out of this illegal conspiracy without the threat of suddenly falling out of a window (James Forrestal death). In the video with Danny Sheehan, constitutional lawyer and founder of the New Paradigm Institute, congress is finally putting the task force together to get to the root of this problem. With subpoena powers, they will have legal access to all sites, military or otherwise, where insiders have identified secret facilities containing extraterrestrial craft, lifeforms, and backward engineered technology.

The real question remains: will this be enough to finally reveal the secrets kept for over 70 years? With so much technology and money up for grabs, the cabal will not willingly relinquish control of it and may resort back to the assassination and ridicule techniques of the past. Are politicians really capable of standing up against such a force which promises both riches and devastation? To date, they have demonstrated no backbone.

Disclosure Project

While Mr. Sheehan works with Congress to move the issue from the shadows into the light, Dr. Greer has been working with ex-military special force's whistleblowers who have come forward with information. They may be the task force's muscle in any raid on secret facilities. For information on where these facilities are located, refer to Dr. Greer's database system which contains the entirety of his disclosure information going back 30 years (Disclosure Project Intelligence Archive).

Dr. Greer in his latest podcast (link above) has said authorities (I assume DOJ, FBI, etc.) have given the green light to carte blanche immunity to all those working in these illegal projects if they come forward and disclose the information they have. Holding anything back will, and should, constitute a breach in that agreement, and they would subsequently face the full force of the law in prosecution for their crimes.

Blanket immunity is an incredible development, and I believe many will jump at the chance to get out of this fiasco while not being held accountable for the crimes they may have committed under the guise of National Security. Many of these insiders believed they were patriots working for their government, meanwhile, they were pawns for a trans-national cabal whose only purpose was to secure all the power of our world into the hands of a very select few individuals. Some of these individuals are from ancient royal lineages. I guess they want to take back this world they believe is rightfully theirs.

Dr. Greer has since become more skeptical of the congressional efforts and is working it from a "policing" action perspective as obvious evidence for broken laws exist. However, with the current administration flaunting the law themselves, it is unclear how much support he will really get even though all the evidence sits in his Disclosure Project Intelligence Archive. It has become the new third-rail for politicians who fear for their political careers rather than for the common good.

While it is easy to sit back and criticize, the truth is most of us would not do it either when faced with threats to our career, our family, and our lives. We must assume the cabal is highly integrated within all branches of the government and military, exerting undue influence through bribery and threats. Because of that, anyone moving against them, whether they believe they exist or not, will become a target for their threats whether real or imagined.

A cabal survives through threat to people's personal and professional security. It is the rare individual who has the backbone and fearless attitude to come up against such an entity (think John Wick), and those individuals tend to gravitate away from politics and more towards the military. This is why so many whistle blowers are military, they have the courage, have seen it firsthand, and are willing to put themselves and their families at risk for their convictions.

These are true patriots, not the scientists and high-ranking officers who play along with the control system believing they are doing it for the good of our country. If it was good for our country, we would already see the benefits of it in our everyday life. Zero-point free energy and antigravity to name a couple. But this has not been released and appears it will never be released because those revelations would bring the whole house of cards down.

Better to take the technology and use it for your own ends to enrich yourself, enslave our species, and put the entire planet at risk. It isn't the old ways which are destroying the world that is the risk here, it is the false belief that the ETs we have been lying to and shooting down won't finally take over as we prove ourselves unable to let go of the past and embrace the future. The people running the cabal know this but are banking they can force the ETs into letting them maintain control and power through the very technology they stole. It is a risky cold-war era mentality that may put our existence in jeopardy.

Around 12,000 years ago, a similar level of corruption ruled before, and the planet was flooded to reset humanity back to the stone age. This isn't hyperbole but written about in the books of the Bible and other religious and historical documents. That could be a move the ETs take if they can't find a path away from these select individuals pulling all the strings and illegally using the technology to deceive, kill, and enslave humanity. Yes, they are criminals and are running without governmental oversight or justice. They have corrupted our system of governance under the guise of National Security, and believe they hold all the cards.

Be An Ambassador

The ETs have been patient, but shooting down their ships is straining that patience. I have been told it is very tense right now, and many are beginning to think a reset of humanity is the only way out of the current situation. This is why the work Mr. Sheehan and Dr. Greer are doing is so important and why so many are beginning to want out. Will immunity be enough for them to turn against those they have been working with for so long? Time will tell, but time is running out.

Unfortunately, while most of the population could easily handle the revelation of our ET neighbors, they simply don't care when they are struggling to survive under the weight of the oligarchy removing all benefits, salaries, and jobs in their greedy accumulation of wealth. These would be kings see the warning signs and will squeeze every profit they can out of this world before it collapses under the weight of their corruption or the ETs reset.

They believe they can survive the potential cataclysm through their wealth or connections with ET technology, but they are mistaken. They build rocket ships, but they have nowhere to go. They want to use this world up and abandon it when the check finally comes due. They understand climate change, mass extinctions, and dwindling resources are a reality, so they scramble to take the most they can before it all comes crashing down. They will fail.

We can change this dynamic, and step one is the grassroots effort Dr. Greer and Mr. Sheehan are doing to subvert the cabal by having those who know they are doing wrong change course and betray the cabal to our government and our citizens. Immunity is very real and considering the crimes those people have been committing, it is more than they deserve but is the right way to handle this.

Remove one of the barriers to their disclosure and you smooth the way for them to come out of the shadows and into the light. In their hearts they know this is un-American and un-Democratic, but they fear revelations for what they have done and the threats from the cabal. But now that our government has declared these activities illegal, these people may have no option as the hammer finally falls.

Take advantage of this immunity agreement and free yourself and your conscience from the guilt you must feel for betraying your country and your fellow humans. I get it, to have access to knowledge that most do not is intoxicating, and it is that very fact they have exploited to keep you and all the others in line. But now that you know this is illegal and supporting only a select few elites, do the right thing for your country and move disclosure forward.

If the cabal wins, it is back to the dark ages where despots ruled everything, and you did what you were told or were killed. Make no mistake, that is what they are looking for, absolute, and unequivocal control over everyone and everything. They will live in their palaces while the rest of us slave over our work eking out a miserable existence in the service to the masters and their glory. It happened before on this world and can happen again.

That is not democracy and that is not what this country was founded upon. We kicked the kings and queens out of our country almost 250 years ago, so stop letting them back in. Between the Catholic Church, the ancient lineage cabal, and rampant oligarchs and billionaires interfering with our government and our lives, we have forgotten what this country was founded on.

Of the people, by the people, and for the people. That is the backbone of our country and democracy. But it has been corrupted into of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires. I have nothing against billionaires, but when I see them flocking to the court of Donald Trump and bending the knee to kiss his signet ring, then we have devolved back the dark ages of royalty and corruption.

If you are working in the darkness of the Special Access Projects, time to come out and help us before it is all lost and we find ourselves facing annihilation from another catastrophic flood or some other calamity. We are on the brink of becoming a spacefaring species, but those who control those space ways have requirements we must adhere to before we launch ourselves into the cosmos.

Become an ambassador for humanity's ascension into the stars rather than the villain who helped destroy earth and our rightful place among the stars. We are a warrior, child-like race who can barely keep ourselves from destroying each other let alone letting in others from beyond our atmosphere. We must soon change or risk being sent back the stone ages to try yet again. If that happens, I may not come back to save humanity. I am losing my patience with the imbecilic, greedy people who run this world.

I liken it to going to a used car salesman convention and trying to get out without buying a lemon. Everywhere you turn it is politicians, oligarchs and their minions lying about everything so they can steal us blind. Say no to them all and finally stand up as an American for the dream of our forefathers. No interference from the Church, the Royalty, or the wealthy! If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.

Will It Collapse?

Disclosure has been going on since the sixties, but it has been blockaded by the military and the few who have been in charge of the secrecy for over 70 years. It may have started out genuinely concerned for our country and our freedom, but it quickly devolved into nothing more than a power grab for greedy ends. Frank Herbert once famously quoted in his book that "Absolute power does not corrupt absolutely, absolute power attracts the corruptible."

Right now, the corruptible are in charge of nearly everything. Stop helping them and come forward or the disclosure effort will collapse, and the cabal will win. Once they control everything, it is game over, and you better start deciding how you will fit into the new totalitarian regime. I already know how you will fit in, as a slave.

Humanity deserves better than this, and you have the power to help them get what they deserve. I know it is scary. I know you feel guilty and need redemption. It is being offered, so reach out your hands and embrace it. This is the time of Revelations as written about in the Bible, and all of those who are sitting on this incredible revelation are acting against God and against the ideal this country was founded upon.

Help us take back our country from the corrupted who seek to control it. We are Americans and should see this for what it is, an evil which has seeped into our politics and corrupted the system for personal gains by a select few. Everyone fears the elites or the deep state, but you are looking in the wrong direction just like they want. Those in the know are the only ones who can change this. Come forward!

Reach out to Dr. Greer or Mr. Sheehan and begin your disclosure journey. You will never regret that you did, and you will be part of an increasing cadre who are taking humanity onto the path to Galactic Citizenship. Be an ambassador for that effort and lead the way for others to follow. You will truly be a patriot for your country and your beliefs.

Peace Profound

The AOC-Sanders anti-oligarch tour is all about organizing

I'm on a 20+ city book tour for my new novel PICKS AND SHOVELS. Catch me in CHICAGO with PETER SAGAL on Apr 2, and in BLOOMINGTON on Apr 4. More tour dates here.

It's hard to imagine today, but Barack Obama ran as a populist outsider, buoyed into office by a grassroots organizing campaign that used an incredibly innovative online organizing tool called MyBarackObama.com, which directly connected rank-and-file supporters so they could self-organize, creating an unstoppable force.

But as far as Obama was concerned, MyBarackObama.com was a campaigning tool, not a governing tool. The last thing Obama wanted was a clamorous electorate jostling his elbow while he made the grand bargains that defined his presidency: secret drone killings, immunity for telcos that profited from in illegal NSA spying, impunity for CIA torturers, bailing out bankers, complicity in the foreclosure epidemic, and, of course, unlimited free money for health insurance companies through the ACA.

Obama ran like a populist, but governed like Chuck Schumer. Meanwhile, the GOP of his day was dominated by its own "grassroots" groups, the Tea Party movement that was funded and organized by the Kochs but who quickly slipped the leash and became an ungovernable force that conquered the party. It turns out that the kind of people who get really involved in party activism are, well, passionate (a less charitable term might be cranks – and I say this as a certified, grade-A crank). They really believe in the principles that bring them into party activism, and the only people they hate more than the other party are their own sellout leaders (oh, hi, Senator Fetterman!).

For a leader whose theory of governance involves a lot of back-room favor-trading and Extremely Grown Up compromising, an activated, organized base represents a powerful obstacle. Obama's seeming genius was his ability to awaken a grassroots campaigning force that he could then hit pause on once he attained office, then re-activate on demand (Obama "revived" MyBarackObama.com for his second presidential campaign):

https://www.computerworld.com/article/1532634/barack-obama-s-big-data-won-the-us-election-2.html

But ultimately, I think we have to conclude that Obama's strategy was a losing one. By putting his own organization into an induced coma between elections, Obama lost an important source of discipline and feedback that would have told him when his compromises overstepped the tolerance of the electorate – and the fact that Obama didn't have an organized base meant that his Democratic Party rivals and his Republican opponents could force him into bad compromises, as with the ACA.

Contrast Obama with another "populist outsider" in the Democratic Party: Bernie Sanders. Sanders has never been afraid of his own base or their passion. Members of his staff disproportionately come from community and union organizing backgrounds. Think of the difference between Sanders' "Not me, US" and "Our revolution" slogans and Obama's dotcom URL, "MyBarackObama.com." Sanders' presidential campaigns were always organizing campaigns, and he's kept those going in non-election years.

Since Trump/Musk's shock therapy assault on American democracy, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have been made headlines with a series of gigantic rallies across the country. The two Democratic Socialists have turned out vast crowds in Republican strongholds: 11,000 in Greely, CO; 15,000 in Tempe, AZ – and even bigger crowds in traditional Democratic turf: 34,000 in Denver.

Writing for The American Prospect, Micah Sifry describes the larger strategy behind these rallies. According to Faiz Shakur, the Sanders staffer who's organizing the events, the point of these events is to build a massive, grassroots organization that gets shit done:

https://prospect.org/politics/2025-03-26-bernies-fighting-oligarchy-tour-organizing/

The campaign is hiring full-time organizers in "Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and several Western states," and they're already actively fighting in state-level battles, like a Colorado bill to make it easier to form a union:

https://www.cpr.org/2025/02/03/colorado-labor-peace-action-union-history/

These people-powered movements are mobilizing directly against Musk's dark money operation, like the Wisconsin Supreme Court election where Musk is paying people $100 each to vote against Susan Crawford, a progressive candidate:

https://prospect.org/justice/2025-03-21-wisconsin-court-election-drawing-elon-musks-money/

The campaign is using online RSVPs to build out mailing lists. One interesting fact from Sifry's article: 65% of the signups are from people who are new to Sanders' mailing lists. 107,000 people have RSVPed so far. You can sign up here:

https://berniesanders.com/oligarchy/

Rationalization is easy to slip into and impossible to avoid. Politicians who make themselves beholden to organized supporters who really care about the issues are armoring themselves against the enormous pressure on elected representatives to make compromises. Both Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez have made compromises in their careers that I disagree with. I don't support them because I think they're perfect or immune to self-serving justifications. I support them because they are deliberately putting themselves in a position where it's much harder for them to make excuses and get away with it.
