Until One of Our Daughters Shouted: "It Was Right in Front of You, Right in Front of Your Eyes, and You Didn't See
That's my right eye. My congressman in Maryland, who cosplays as a progressive, yesterday tweeted out, playing his role in this shitlord kabuki, in support of Biden invoking the 14th Amendment to defeat maga efforts to gut social programs via extorting concessions from Biden re: debt ceiling, and I retweeted, adding, "primary Biden or shut the fuck up, poseur," which advice I'm sure he'll take and declare tomorrow just after voting to send another trillion dollars to war profiteers via Laundromat Ukraine (which he digs - to be fair, all Maryland elected officials, by coincidence and consequence of location, never turn a military dime down).
I was being sarcastic, of course: there would be not change at the top if Raskin was potus. and Raskin's is too far up the colon of the Democratic Party's ladder match (he wants to be Speaker, it's the deal he made with MFDMHQ (who will never make him Speaker), bet you a digital pint he doesn't run for Cardin's senate seat) to be anything but a House shitlord tick. This is my left eye
Step 1 is learning that minds are very hackable, and are being hacked constantly at mass scale.
If only someone had been yodeling constantly and annoyingly for seemingly decades that he was telling you three times we are being reprogrammed
Media And Politicians Throw So Much Bullshit At Us That It Is Difficult To See Through It
"After two-plus years of “Joe Biden” — well, our country is bypassing the banana republic stage of dissolution and depravity and steaming quickly into a Hieronymus Bosch dystopia of financial, social, psychological and moral ruin. Every official utterance is a lie. Everything’s broken or breaking. And seemingly, on-purpose. The nagging question, of course, is on whose purposes?"

looking at the reader reviews on amazon of her book Woke: A Field Guide For Utopia Preppers [published December 1, 2017] we find a 3 star review from the u.s. that says
This is primarily a book of artwork and poetry
I gave three stars NOT because I think this book is average, but just to signal dissatisfaction with my purchase. It was not what I expected. In truth I didn't read any of it - I merely scanned through quickly, saw that it was mostly images and poetry and decided to return it. I bought it because I have enjoyed the authors political thinking and prose writing, and it was reviewed highly by others. However, I was hoping for more prose -- essays, practical ideas about surviving the coming political and economic bleakness, socially, spiritually and practically. I would say this is likely better described as an inspirational piece. If that's what you're seeking you may love it! Just not for me, I am already brimming with enthusiasm (lol, but seriously) - I'm seeking more practical ideas and direction. - Nick
other americans gave it one star reviews; e.g.
I read an article by this author and was very impressed by it. So....i bought this book, her book, thinking it would be equally stimulating. Wrong. The worst $30.00 i ever spent! [this person bought the hardcover edition]
I have come to respect johnstone's rational thought and was looking forward to her book. Regrettably, this book is just lousy verse, emotional stuff without structure or direction. It is just mush from someone trying to be poetic, or even profound. don't waste your money. wait for her to produce some rational thought. I know she is capable.

For Those That Hear The Call
How many times have I read this wonderful book? Many, and I expect to re-read it many more times over the course of my life. Caitlin Johnstone took the thoughts which swirl in my mind and put them into lyrical yet hard-hitting poems that called me to wake up even more profoundly than I already was. Her poems are a call to action. From her insights, I opened both my right and left eyes to what was possible in this world, and she put my feet to the fire to do something about it. I consider "Woke" to be one of the strongest forces which led me to write my own work of fiction. My gratitude to her for the vision she shared cannot be adequately summarized with words. If she ever wonders if her message was received, she can rest knowing that I heard her loud and clearly. Thanks Caitlin for sharing your Light!
