  1. @Nigel_Purchase #CarlSagan explains why: “One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.”

  11. @Nigel_Purchase thank you so much for sharing! I have been waiting for this type of analysis for quite some time. #Awesome

    #Israel is completely unacceptable, just like #Nazi Germany was completely unacceptable

    thank God, we did something about the latter

    but today, we must do something about the former

    God, may Israel get what it deserves according to how it treats innocent #Palestinian people, especially children

    Currently, there are approximately 150 children in #Texas with the #Measles.

    There are TEN #trans college athletes in the entire country.

    That's a 15:1 ratio. #Republicans want you to focus on the "1" b/c they're responsible for the "15". #DisasterPresidency #WeAreSoScrewed

    Australia needs to evict the USA from Pine Gap and Darwin, asap.

    “There are now two options for the US’s former close friends and security partners: shed everything, dispense with notions of European solidarity, fast-forward the end of the postwar order, and make peace with defence vulnerability and political subordination. Or embark on a colossal power-mapping exercise. This entails rapid, closely coordinated action on a political, bureaucratic and military level to either replace the US, or at least demonstrate that they constitute a bloc that has some power, agency and agility – and challenge Trump in the only language he understands.”

  15. @Nigel_Purchase This is really not the kind of information the corporate world wants to read!

    Carbon offsets are the cotton candy in corporations’ dream worlds of sustainable / more sustainable / green / greener / net-zero / planet-positive / net-positive / give-back / building-a-better-tomorrow / etc Business As Usual.

    I've noted for months how #DementiaDon exhibits all the same symptoms as my 82 year old father who is also struggling with #Dementia:

    o Can't remember something? Just make it up!
    o Deny the truth when corrected.
    o If you can't find something, you didn't lose it. It was stolen.
    o Easily angered when unable to handle a situation.
    o Frequent outbursts of childlike behavior.
    o "Oh, I meant something else!"

    I might read that book!

    I bought a book tackling the way that #Hindu thought was reflected in #Neoplatonism which influenced early #Christianity and excerpts are in, you guessed it, Greek.

  18. @Nigel_Purchase Nestle is one of the worst international conglomerates and has been for more than 50 years.

  19. @Nigel_Purchase I live in the city but my #bushfire #emergency kit would probably look exactly like this one if I wasn't. #firstdog is a national treasure 🌟
