Excellent work once again, Toby. I especially like your close. There is a spiritual brazenness to "dying with your boots on" as did his father and his father's brother, but I agree with you, this confrontation is won, like all recent confrontations, with non-violent organized disobedience and creation of parallel competing structures and communities who unplug from the corporate manipulation and haze and create an uprising that is as much about exerting POSITIVE and PRODUCTIVE coalitional strength that dashes phony identify politics (meant to split us apart) as it is about resistance. His dad, RFK, Sr. said it well: “Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.”

"Isn’t China our biggest military adversary? If so why are we developing bioweapons together with them? And if China is our ally in developing bioweapons then who exactly is the enemy they are targeting?

I think a strong case can be made that nation-states no longer exist"

I posted a comment on another of your posts recently where I laid out this very case. Very few people get it, we are living in a new paradigm where politics and geopolitics as we knew them are over.

It's very difficult for people to grasp this idea - understandably so - so well done for getting it.
