The one bright spot in this coup d'etat
The only possible silver lining is that all of us who for the last 20 years or so were ridiculed as "conspiracy theorists" and "conspiracy nuts" have been proven right.

Unfortunately, it doesn't feel as good as I thought it would -- maybe because we're going to go down with the ship too.

1. Well there's still more to come, and they STILL won't believe us, even after

this. They don't believe it until it happens. I kinda don't blame them -- too horrific to contemplate.

PS - I'm willing to go down with the ship if honest CHANGE and awakening results. I'm willing to give it all up in order to rebuild it the right way. But looking back over history, and seeing this happen again and again, I just don't believe we'll ever get it right.

4. everything I've screamed about since Vietnam
I've been proven right about. You are right, it doesn't feel good at all. I'm old now, and it is just great sadness-this world left for my off spring.

I'll keep screaming til there's no air left in me. You?
