I'm now of the mind that Dr. Lee needs to be nominated for and win the Nobel Peace Prize--and someone suggested the Civilian Medal of Honor. Her visage has changed over the years as she suffers blacklisting, disparagement, and losing professional status for warning the US public about a danger that may yet destroy the world. Tough as nails, smart as a whip, and as vulnerable as the rest of us, she keeps working.

This is a FABULOUS idea, Ric! I agree completely with your characterization of Dr. Lee.

You know that she's on with Anthony Davis, The Weekend Show, (YouTube) every Sunday night until the election, right?

This is wonderful, Bandy! I think we're all enthusiastically awaiting videos from the conference itself and look forward to your discussion with Anthony Davis Sunday on The Weekend Show. (YouTube) All the press releases, posters, invitations to public officials and the media have been excellent, and I hope they reached their intended audiences and continue to do so going forward. Gen. Stanley McChrystal's recent endorsement of Kamala and repudiation of Trump is a welcome contribution to the tipping point where a solid majority of voters recognize, however peripherally, that there is something "dangerous" about returning Trump to power. And the remarkable display of competence, confidence, and readiness to take charge displayed by V.P. Harris yesterday in Arizona is emphatically making the case for anyone with eyes enough to see.

Why does everyone refwr to him as PRESIDENT? He is not president!

Barbara, it's a tradition that someone who held high office be called by that title for the remainder of their life. Hilary Clinton, e.g. is referred to as Secretary Clinton because the last office she held was that of Secretary of State. HOWEVER, there is a serious difference with Trump. He has led his followers to believe that he really won the election, he basks in the glow of the delusion that he's the real president and he doesn't disabuse them of this falsehood. So when someone in the media calls him, President Trump, I have a kiniption just like you! In this case, doing so can function to confirm the delusion that Trump is CORRECT, and that he is really the president! Another example of severe psychopathology in a political figure that spreads through what Dr. Lee calls, "Trump Contagion" or group psychosis. Nicole Wallace, on MSNBC, used to call him, "the twice-impeached, disgraced ex-President," and I wish everyone in the media would refer to him that way, or mention that he caused a violent insurrection, or is a pathological liar, or has been convicted of sexual molestation and 34 counts of defrauding creditors...etc. etc. Right? Aargh!

Have I missed something? The panelists at this conference do not seem to have been publicly named. I've asked several times who would be participating but never received an answer. While waiting for a reply, I overlooked that the conference was held yesterday. Who participated? The "preview" video of yesterday's conference was a video about the previous conference. I hope it went well, but I don't understand why Dr Lee has not been more forthcoming about who the participants were.

I'm one of them :) I wrote on the moribund and destructive Goldwater Rule. The book just was published yesterday, I expect updates soon. Link to purchase is up - https://a.co/d/dyleDj2

Thanks, but that is the list of previous presenters. "Many of these persons will be invited to join in this new conference along with a few special additional persons." I just wonder, among those invited, who was present.

I pray that the eyes of our citizens will be opened to the danger of Donald Trump. I very much appreciate Dr. Lee's efforts to educate the public. It is an uphill task as I witness the people I know being persuaded by insincere media outlets and misinformed by religious leaders, as well as being mesmerized by Trump himself.
