We can survive a nuclear war, take shelter under your desk.

Your sins can be forgiven and the gates of Heaven will open to you.

We are the only intelligent life in the universe.

Pure as white bread.

You have come a long way baby, enjoy the smoke.

An apple a day keeps the doctor away.

The American dream.

Commies are evil.

Trickle down economics.

Global warming is a hoax.

Arbeit macht frei.

I once listened to an interview years ago with Rush Limbaugh. When asked directly whether he believed in all of his hype, he said no, but they pay me 30 million a year to say it. The rich and powerful control the message. The people mostly, to their ever lasting shame, believe the lies. The latest and greatest believed lie is that the war in Ukraine is a great battle between autocracy versus democracy. How many times do the wars start with great lies...the fight for democracy, protecting the women and young girls, the mushroom cloud, when in reality it is Empire, disrupting and stealing, and selling weapons. When will we ever learn?

What is important to understand: most all peoples on this Earth have the same fears, hopes, and aspirations as we do. They have families they love and communities they share in, and the desire to work for a living and to raise their children in a healthy, happy world. We need to be one with each other and to protect our Earth that nourishes us. Control the fears.

Arise and fight together against the war mongers, the sociopaths, the cheats and liars that will doom us.
