We don’t need this kind of harshness. We can invite one another to speak their mind, and to hear the concerns brought to the table. And no, the former President’s actions do not meet with my approval or appreciation. But half the country sees him as representing their concerns – and that bears an ear.

If so, then I guess I have to bow out . Dear Susan, Right after the riots of April ’68, at collegium, on a number of occasions, I recall JWM saying, “It’s time for the drones to leave.” Being new to the Order, what I observed was that those who did not have their heart in the collective, concensed upon mission of moving beyond the assault of the riots, were invited to leave. I recall a woman whose was Kay McConathy (from Texas) weeping with Joe and packing her bags. There also was a man that I observed leaving as well. Speaking only for myself, I cannot fathom what you get from being on a listserv that so clearly and continually supports 'building the earth' initiatives. Many of our colleagues on this listserv have already ‘passed on’ - giving their last breath to ’the church as social pioneer’. In itself, your undying support for Israel against the Palestinians, who you have stated are morally, racially, religiously inferior, disqualifies you from this collegiality. Your support for the fascist destroyer of worlds is beyond words. I wish you well. Hail and farewell.

J. <synergi@yahoo.com <mailto:synergi@yahoo.com> > Subject: [Oe List ...] fake candidate Remember Donald Trump? Well, as of today, he's still running! Sort of. So just why did The Donald give an emergency press conference yesterday from the Mar-a-lago ballroom? Where Trump would normally never be in the immediate wake of an August hurricane, no less? Short answer: it's ALL fake, folks! Unlike Trump's Bedminster golf club, Mar-a-lago is gold-plated and palatial, evoking subliminal Presidential vibes. Trump can't commandeer the White House, but he desperately needs to project maximum Presidential impact. So--back to Florida, instead of hitting the campaign trail. The short version of Trump's meandering, unscripted, off-the-cuff political diatribe: Trump projects a fake Presidential authority within his peculiar House of Cards that's structured as a fragile bubble of intersecting lies. At the center of his shocking, defensive display of unacknowledged angst is Trump's mental dysfunction of which he is unaware. In other words, Trump's denial of his mental illness, and his inability to see clearly that his propensity to live within a fake, constructed reality serves only his perceived self-interest, is a significant dimension of his mental illness. In short, it's self-destructive, malignant, delusionary narcissism propped up by political sycophants who do know better and armies of gullible MAGA worshippers who would rather believe Trump's Repugnant lies than confront their own personal truth. Trump's not exactly what anyone else would call a "stable genius." Fasten your seat belts, folks! It's already a bumpy election.
