As usual, our dear Bandy, you are spot-on with the white heat of your clarion call. I for one, having recognized all of what you speak, am so grateful for your tenacious efforts to help us SEE what we are doing, as a psychological species. Please continue your drive to pierce the deception and denial..

We're with you!

Dr Lee, the destruction of environment is so extreme in my city (Delhi) that Air Pollution alone has reduced life span by 11.9 years of people. India has the most polluted cities in the world, Delhi is called the Gas chamber of the world as one can hardly breathe especially in winters. The same is true for water pollution in India. The rivers are more toxic than industrial sewers. The govt doesn't care and people don't care. People are consuming the opium of religion which is being fed by religious Fascists ruling our country.

Instead of solving societal problems, our govt is embarking on buying more & more foreign weapons & building more missiles and Nuclear Bombs. Our neighborhood is also ruled by despotic and failed states like China & Pakistan with 100s of Nukes and this region is always in tension.

Dr Lee, while you talk about Doomsday clock, you should know that earlier doctrine of doomsday clock was driven by scenario of bipolar world with cold war between Soviets and US. Now world has changed & is more dangerous. Many 3rd world Pathocratic regimes (India is prime example) have also acquired Nukes. While Americans & Russians are no saints, the threat of Nuclear war now also comes from 3rd world dictators like in India and Pakistan. Also Zionist imperial Israel also has Nukes (it doesn't officially acknowledge it).

Yes but you need to offer some sort of plan of action and create an umbrella of complicated hope for them to use in these times.

What are the major global frameworks that are able to see your view points? The Elders is one group with Mary Robinson. What social justice groups help with out lotus in the fire world?

Can you break down into a EF Schumacher - small is beautiful circle of dance steps to follow?

John Adams and his new work about lamentations. How can we as a workd lament what has been lost and losing? It is must be a multimodal fractal dynamic type of new paradigm.

Anger is always a solid emotion but it needs to be a jump start for another fruitful change reaction.

Thanks for your work fare forward.

But seriously, I am glad that I have a sound and unshakable faith that we are not alone in this vast universe, and that we were created by One who is still committed to our survival. So many today have an intense burning hatred for the Bible, yet in it we have a coherent explanation of why we are now facing the abyss, and how we will survive.

Rather than go into the details here, you could either see my online book at lifespurpose.net, or for more wide-ranging coverage, try (and I know that the blowtorches of mockery and hatred will come out at white heat on this) at JW.org.
