I indeed feel like a hostage. Yet daily medititate to spiritually transcend this moment yet painfully aware of these times. I hold close love and life affirming joy and try to maintain my tender hearted connection to humanity in each of us...in each person.

Im making peace with knowing Ive lived, loved and tried everything to share Dr Lee's message. I will not relent and will seek balanced resistance.

I sadly watch dear friends and family believe this disinformation and align themselves with what appears like prapagandized trust phrasing saying,"let Trump have his time." Biden had his. My brother saying," We aren't gonna talk about it!"

My time in your Substack group with safe and trusted friends has been transformative and empowering for me. The gift of your time, wisdom in words and deeds continues to be a beacon light and of hope and your knowledge you share and prepares me more for this moment. I have a library of your books and know just a shallow layer of your teachings but have gained so much from being in your Substack Group and now our Mental Fitness Matters Substack spin off group to amplifyand spread your teachings. May your voice, work and advocacy for children and mothers fallen prey to the "family court system" find traction to help the vunerable and meek victims be freed from this torturous evil system.

Beautifully, not dutifully, stated, Ma'am.

Again I thank Dr. Lee. Chris Hedges had been a follower of Princeton professor emeritus Dr. Sheldon Wolin (until Dr. Wolin's death), who warned against "corporatism." Dr. Wolin's theory was about how corporate structures dictate things through id-like motivation (greed), usually in the background. He believed it's behind much of what happens especially in advanced "democracies." His book is "Democracy, Inc." It's another way of saying "follow the money," which flies in the face of any sane consideration of what Dr. Lee has advocated as "One World." Ruthlessness goes a long way, fast (blitzkrieg!). I hope we can weather its latest appearance.

Excellent work. Thank you Dr Bandy Lee for your insight clarity and consistent messaging. I so deeply regret that this is where we are again in our current times.

The No Kings marches and the ridiculous parade did nothing for him so this was to get the spot light back on himself.

I am also concerned that a tipping factor in the decision was the TACO-Don sobriquet. Trump may have felt be-littled and sought to prove in manhood.

Just a small FYI - the targets were hit by B-2 bombers, and not B-52 bombers …

He is a criminal, with a god complex. Yet this country seems to thrill with a grandiosity fetish, a delusion that magical thinking will reveal something - like Jesus, “riding through the clouds.” Yet White Christian Nationalism is more fog and clouds than light. We don’t see Christ on a horse - we see horseshit.

And he gets the constant attention he craves with no pushback from the media or Congress.

Dr Lee, while i keep an eye on 'dangerous leaders' , i am more concerned about dangerous systems. Dangerous leaders like Trump, Putin & Bibi are indeed a threat to the world but equally so are the 'systems' we have created - political and economic.

Is Donald Trump doing anything radically different in middle east? Look at Biden's middle east policy. The terror attacks against Hezbollah, bombings and assassinations in Lebanon and Iran was happening under Biden's watch and with Biden's tacit approval. The Genocide in Gaza happened with Biden's support. The regime change in Syria happened under Biden (Assad was overthrown and an Al Qaeda terrorist mass murderer was made a puppet President).

And this has also been the foreign policy of Neocons, foreign policy hawks and military industrial complex of creating endless conflicts for war profiting. This SYSTEM was created long before Trump arrived on the scene. Now with arrival of Trump, the system is getting more unstable and unpredictable.

We all harbor delusions Dr. Lee. No one is immune to them.
