Speaking of 'great expectations', I wanted to warn people about something that Cliff talked about yesterday. It's about Tulsi Gabbard. Now, America has had this 'savior complex' thing going on for many, many years. There always seems to be some figure who will come run rough shod over the 'establishment' and bring us to nirvanah. Unfortunately, it never happens.

Gabbard is not a hero and her 'change of mind' is just another misdirection. Like Trump before her, she will not be leading us to the promised land. The entire political system is a psyop, but certainly if you want to participate, be my guest. Everyone needs to decide what they want to do in their life, so if voting or attending rallies floats your boat, then that's at least a relatively benign human activity. Just don't expect a change. Change can and does occur, but it's generally on the individual level. It is more bottom up than top down. Radically change yourself - change your world.

“Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”

Charles Dickens, Great Expectations

It will be one memorable day, when we are unbound by evil!
