Decrease 損 sǔn The wealth flows upward; those with greatest need Are losing what reserves to them remain. The servants' loss becomes the master's gain, Their savings filched to satisfy his greed.

The Great Turning The tyrant king whose rule is absolute Becomes complacent and is read'ly fooled. The patient masses o'er whom he once ruled, Congealed, become an invincible tide. Stand back from conflict, pillage, waste and loot; Let others struggle; you enjoy the ride.

Don't Get Any Ideas: World's Largest Labor Strike Unreported by MSM The largest protest in the history of the world took place in India on Nov 26. 250 million workers marched for security, food, and pay. This isn't being covered anywhere in the MSM. Are they afraid that American workers might emulate Indians? Rising expectations are more contagious than COVID.

Limitation He feels he's both the finder and the found; His yoke is tight, but surely it is his. He bucks and starts, acknowledging what is His lot and manifest, to which he's bound.

It's Over A picture is worth a thousand words. Why are new restrictions coming down from government at all levels? Why are schools balking at re-opening in the fall? Why are we wearing masks in the supermarket? Why aren't we running out in the streets to hug one another in gratitude and relief?

Jia = Family That love is not a thing one can deserve That will-to-power yields to will-to-serve. Your family is a microcosm where You need not pose or try to prove you care. All roles are tried here, dreams and visions nursed And to the end, your family will come first.

Kan, the Deluge There's no resisting any tide so strong. But is your substance pure enough to be The water that diffuses and renews? If not, then you, too, must be swept along Recycled into new reality. . . It may not be your place to choose.

The Last Gasp of Democracy In the spring of 2020, events are changing so fast it is easy to be caught up in the action and unconscious of the context. For those of us who want a historic perspective, our best source is Naomi Wolf's book from 2007, The End of America.

A Very Short Article I'll stand alongside anyone to oppose police violence, and I recognize that African-Americans bear a disproportionate share of this travesty. But far the larger travesty is the ongoing program in military labs to create pathogens like COVID-19 and Lyme Disease. What would it take to get people out in the streets demanding an end to bioweapons "research"?

I Am An Anarchist Anarchism has a venerable history, going back to utopians and great thinkers of the 19th Century. Leo Tolstoy, Bertrand Russell, Emma Goldman were all sympathetic to anarchism. The philosophy of anarchism grows from a belief in the goodness of humanity and the dangers of centralized authority. But from the very earliest days, authoritarian governments sought to associate the word "anarchy" with chaos and with violence.

Innocence I do not blame the cat who torments mice Nor scold the child who overturns his food I cradle both without e'en thinking twice And reckon love a cause for gratitude. But me-I mark my blameless days long gone I dare not dream of innocence regained. It's guilt my daily nightmares dwell upon My frank facade I know is frankly feigned. Why not expand the compass of my ruth Beyond the years which I excuse with youth?

Crisis in Cosmology? In 1997, two tests agreed that expansion of our universe is accelerated, and that there is more negative the positive gravity. "Dark Energy" was invented to explain it. Now, a new test says that the expansion is slowing, and maybe we shouldn't be thinking about negative mass. The two lines of inquiry are in stark contrast, if we hold to Einstein's theory of gravity, AKA the General Theory of Relativity.

Justification for lockdown crumbles. Lockdown continues to tighten. The narrative about the pandemic that justified shutting down the world's culture and politcs and economic activity has come unglued. Everywhere, there are articles that show that the virus has run its course, as every other virus has done in winters past. Not only that, official reports emerging in Norway and Germany show that this is not becuase of lockdown, but despit lockdown.

It Never Was About Protecting Our Health The lockdown is not about protecting our health. If they were really concerned about our health... + They would be devoting great attention to nursing homes, where a majority of deaths take place. Instead, residents in nursing homes have been tragically abandoned. + They would have told us to take daily zinc and megadoses of vitamin D ...

Open Thread on Censorship Is the enemy of our enemy necessarily our friend? Many of us would cheer for net neutrality and an end to social media censorship. How do we feel about an executive order from The Donald?
