I don't know what it is that is turning formerly sane people into shills for the system. Some say the herd instinct kicks in during time of immense fear and feelings of lack of control. The same is true in the feminist and lesbian/gay communities. Professors are losing their jobs, ordinary people are losing their jobs, children are being told lies and medicated....women are being shut up and attacked for speaking truth to power and protesting against "transgender" theology which is infesting all institutions. Talk about betrayal! In any case, I recognize all your painful growth and thank you for staying sane and continuing in spite of the high cost to speak truth to power.

That is the question for this decade?

I do know that this progression of fear-based unreasoning has been going on for quite some time, and this is also occurring in the "antiwar" movement, as well, for a long time. It seems that I have also been shunned from that movement, because I am not vaxxed? I didn't line up to be tested every week, even though I felt fine? I made people uncomfortable in their capitulation? IDK---thanks for your comment, Marie!

you're welcome! I think you may have something there regarding making shills uncomfortable, perhaps holding a mirror up to them? I don't think people who are shaky in their behavior (identities? loyalties?) like reminders of grounded, critical thinking....

So sorry that happened. They may be anti-war, but that organization is a bunch of morons with no critical thinking skills. I wouldn't want to associate with them anyway. Luckily, you are at the age to collect your social security. Or your ex-husband's, which a lot of people don't know.

I just applied yesterday and since I haven’t worked for a paycheck for 19 years, my ex’s was a lot more than mine.

Yep, same for me!

I am with you, Cindy. All the way. And when the time comes that we are able to travel freely my invitation for you to come and visit me in the Basque Country is open. So far I am still in the USA, too. But one day...✊🏼

Russell Brand: "NEED ANYMORE PROOF?!" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tFY35C9kQk

"Jan 18, 2023

The Twitter Files revealed the level of the Deep State’s influence on social media companies to curate our reality. When it comes to our view of Covid, it seems, they would do whatever it takes, even removing 'often true content'. This has gone NEXT LEVEL.

Cindy, is Alliance for Global Justice still your 501c3 fiscal sponsor, or did they drop you? In December I made a donation to you through them specifying that it's for Cindy Sheehan's Soapbox. Hope you got that. I just switched my substack subscription to Paid. Thanks for your courage and your fidelity to truth and humanity!

Yes, thank you! I will check your donation in the morning.

i've burned more than my share of bridges, lol, and have learned a lot along the way, about myself and others, and thought a lot about social change and my causes, about the procedural justice (democracy at all levels and anti-imperialist self-rule) and the substantive justice (equality and socialism/communism). i've come to dissociate myself from the self-styled elitist "vanguards" on the left - who endlessly talk in their echo chambers with such contempt toward the people -- and have more faith in people, the masses, as i can't imagine a revolution that doesn't respect and involve the people, that can't excite and galvanize the people, whom the revolution claims to want to liberate. like Che said, there's no liberator, people liberate themselves, or live subjugated. it's no real lefty revolution unless it's founded on faith in people and people's will. i am again reminded of jesus christ, one of the many revolutionaries in history.

thanks for that analysis

to be fair, the vanguard org did support mass actions/movements as well--including many of my own. That is just specifically that org, though. When push came to shove, they did a huge about face. Some of the older members had parents who were harassed during the McCarthy "red" witchhunt era---some are from disadvantaged, traditionally oppressed groups. They all capitulated to profiteers and capitalists, though!
