Watch now | This week, Eddie reflects on personal experiences and broader societal issues, including gun violence, public grief, the sickness of the nation, public health crises, the death of expertise, and the ongoing threats to voting rights. He emphasizes the need for collective grieving and action to address these pressing issues, urging listeners to recognize the interconnectedness of personal and national trauma.
You’ve said exactly what people need to hear much more broadly. Truth!!!!!!! The sad truth. The “useful idiot” distracts us from the insidious autocratic agenda that even goes beyond The Heritage Foundation. Which book by Ruth Ben Ghiat are you recommending? Thank you for all your insights. Blessings to your sweet mother for a complete recovery and blessings to your family as you take care of her and make her days joyful with your love. Be well.
Donald Trump is the disease eroding our country. The billionaires’ greed funding it. Poor education that allows for the cult that follows without the ability to think analytically, Fox News, the biggest mass propaganda machine . The use of fear to demonize the vulnerable. The ability of this administration to steal wealth and all the information on every citizen to silence them as necessary.
I look forward to your weekly wrap up. You are a Superpower! Hopefully, we will learn from our mistakes and grow from the challenges that we are facing.
May God’s grace be a continuous flow of blessings for you and your family .
When a friend of mine’s daughter was murdered and thrown to the side of the road, the report on the news said, “ A morbidly obese women was found murdered on the side of the road.” My friend felt it was incomprehensible for the news to report it this way and that added to her grief
Absolutely Praying for Your Mother’s Healing ❤️🩹 in Jesus Name and For Your Dad his strength as her Caregiver and all the family who is Caregiving… Stay Encouraged and Blessed ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Your words are a truth that needs to be repeated...because this country needs a transformative shift it who we are. Lord knows if we'll get there.
We are in the midst of our spiritual death; material, self and profit over commonwealth. We are seeing the results of a strategy that began at the end of the 60's. Rightwing billionaires got together to drive control of the narrative, the policy and the values of this country. Please read Lewis Lapham from Harper's Magazine, Tentacles of Rage.
The donor class drives politics, rather than the people driving politics. They are sociopathic hoarders who don't care about us. They have moved the story from "Growth and Liberty" to "Control and Extermination". It will take all of us in the street, shutting down this country economically and holding the leaders, owners and militarists to account.
Trump is not the issue. As you said, he is nearly the reflection of self-interest as the highest moral good while concern for others, empathy, humanity is weakness. There is an entire system of ownership that props him up and their concern is free labor and free nature. Sadly, this power structure is in the middle of a revolution that is built upon billionaires, Christian Nationalism, white supremacy and Zionism.
May the country come together in time to wipe this scourge out and hold them to account.
Again, thank you for your wisdom, dignity, humanity and empathy. You are a model who inspires us to be our best selves. With love and respect, Jason
Thank you. I appreciate your look at the big picture with respect to the overall descent into authoritarianism. The stuff they're doing isn't a *distraction* -- it's all part of the *plan*.
Sending prayers and strength to your mother and to your whole family.
Thanks from Minnesota! A rough one here for sure. We haven’t forgotten the June 14th losses here either. I think maybe these things leave the national news quickly but the local media and residents grieve in the states longer. Have a good weekend all. The best we can during these times.
I'm sorry eddie some great words here...but i just dont think america is gonna make it....for me,its was the shooting of the children[again] that just proves the case for me...the people could protest and bring this country to its knee's and force something to be done,if they had the will, the community and the spirit to do it..but they wont,there are too indivilistic,to worried about getting the next days pay,and this shooting will be forgetten within the week ,so apathy as well ....and if they cant stand for even their neighbours children to bring better change for their community then they sure as hell arent gonna stand for democracy or america :(
Apparently "werra" is a proto-germanic word, which means confusion (or quarrel) and is the root of the english word "war."
Seems like the reason we have a completely different Republican Party from Reagan and the Bush's is because the base of the Republican Party finally gave up on that Republican philosophy when GW and Cheney unmasked it as the naked failure it has always been. Couldn't protect, could support, couldn't avenge, couldn't explain, couldn't even convince their own diehards to believe... So they left. The base left conservative Republicans because they failed.
Next thing you know, their whole political platform is culture war, and you see the rise of the "culture warrior."
Think about a culture that is based on nothing but war, and the people who rule through waging war, and compare it to where we are with this "new" Republican Party.
Remember, when a system fails, going backwards to tribalism isn't unheard of.
It’s time we admit we are not the greatest nation on Earth. We are racist to our core and it is the one thing, bar none, that will be our destruction. And it’s escalating to frightening levels all over again. It’s what put a lunatic criminal in the White House, twice!!! This is such an important video Professor Glaud has posted.
