<div dir="ltr" class="">Happy Presidents Day in America! As flawed as all people are, especially presidents, I still celebrate all those who have served in that office while also tolerating their misinformed and misguided decisions and policies. After only a month. however, this current president and his administration have shown us that they will be following the Project 2025 playbook and its far-right agenda. I hope you have had a chance to at least read a summary of it. It is plainly leading us toward autocracy in America. I will put up with a lot from our presidents but I draw the line when it comes to tearing down the democratic form of government! I am determined to hold this government accountable to following the rule of law and the Constitution. I know many of you are too. It's going to be a long four years (maybe longer)!

I believe that most if not all of the people on this list are in great pain about what is going on now and what has been going on for past many decades and even centuries that have led up to the current situation. I know for sure that we have been working for decades to support and entirely new approach to society, but in spite of our efforts and those of millions of others, the powerful close ranks and push forward. We are not alone in having done a lot and also not alone in feeling the pain.</p><p class="">To my mind the Trump clique, both the American and international one, would like to distract their citizens from the attacks on democracy that they and others have been carrying out for a long time. At the same time it seems to me that they would like to push the colonial project on further against the will and wishes of most people. They have grabbed the positions of power in the media, education, productive industry, government and so much more, and would love to go further.</p><p class="">That so many American citizens remain so ignorant of the rest of the world and even most of the rest of their own nation is another great pain, and this continues despite our and many others' significant efforts for many decades. It's so hard to know what do to that will really change the direction.</p><p class="">Yes it is so painful that even though the consequences of "anticipatory obedience" are well known, not least though the events around the Nazi government, that many tend to still do the same probably out of fear of consequences for themselves as well as the pain of having to face up to what's going on and all this again in spite of the dedicated efforts of our selves and so many.</p><p class="">Maria and I have been quite grateful to have discovered and using the insights and meditations of Self-Compassion as developed by Kristin Neff and many others. As I listen to what she says, it is really a practical application of what we have said about the Christ Word, especially, You are accepted, the past is approved, the future is open. This is not about retreat into yourself, but empowering and supporting yourself and others.

The "crisis" for them was the rising expectation of people for a more democratic society and they outlined a strategy that you will easily recognize has been going on since the early 70's to shut it down.

From my possibly recalcitrant point of view from the other side of the world, the Americans are no strangers to anticipatory obedience.

After electing a warmonger as President who conspired with Netanyahu to make the US a partner in genocide, how much more trying would MAGA be?

Trump is much more focussed on ethnic cleansing in the U.S. than in the Middle East. His talk about Gaza has the added benefit for him of reestablishing the bonds between him and Netanyahu. I thought the wry smile on Netanyahu?s face when Trump was announcing his ?vision? for Gaza was revealing. If distraction is indeed Trump?s ploy, the media, in the U.S. and internationally, have certainly taken the bait.</pre><pre class="">Randy</pre><pre class=""> </pre><blockquote style="margin-top:5pt;margin-bottom:5pt" class=""><pre class="">On Feb 9, 2025, at 1:50?AM, Ken Fisher via OE <a shape="rect" href="mailto:oe@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class=""><oe@lists.wedgeblade.net></a> wrote:</pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class="">?<a shape="rect" href="https://open.substack.com/pub/charlieangus/p/trump-and-the-destruction-of-gaza?r=18u6j&utm_medium=ios" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">https://open.substack.com/pub/charlieangus/p/trump-and-the-destruction-of-gaza?r=18u6j&utm_medium=ios</a></pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class=""> Jesus wept.</pre><pre class="">_______________________________________________</pre><pre class="">OE mailing list</pre><pre class=""><a shape="rect" href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a></pre><pre class=""><a shape="rect" href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a></pre></blockquote><pre class="">-------------- next part --------------</pre><pre class="">An HTML attachment was scrubbed...</pre><pre class="">URL: <a shape="rect" href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/pipermail/oe-wedgeblade.net/attachments/20250209/0b8da693/attachment-0001.htm" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class=""><http://lists.wedgeblade.net/pipermail/oe-wedgeblade.net/attachments/20250209/0b8da693/attachment-0001.htm></a></pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class="">------------------------------</pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class="">Subject: Digest Footer</pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class="">_______________________________________________</pre><pre class="">OE mailing list</pre><pre class=""><a shape="rect" href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a></pre><pre class=""><a shape="rect" href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a></pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class="">------------------------------</pre><pre class=""> </pre><pre class="">End of OE Digest, Vol 155, Issue 4</pre><pre class="">**********************************</pre></blockquote><div class=""><p class="">-- </p><div class=""><p class=""><MaguireSignature.jpg></p></div></div><p class="">_______________________________________________<br clear="none" class="">OE mailing list<br clear="none" class=""><a shape="rect" href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><br clear="none" class=""><a shape="rect" href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a></p></div></blockquote></div></div></div></div><div id="m_-6587807469449800491ydpaeb46b4ayqt91514" class="">_______________________________________________<br clear="none" class="">OE mailing list<br clear="none" class=""><a shape="rect" href="mailto:OE@lists.wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">OE@lists.wedgeblade.net</a><br clear="none" class=""><a shape="rect" href="http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" class="">http://lists.wedgeblade.net/listinfo.cgi/oe-wedgeblade.net</a><br clear="none" class=""></div></div>
