Reading by Tim Foley. Genre News & Politics Comment by hillbilly yogi I posted the quote of the last sentence of Caitlin's article as the primary message as I wanted to say that was part of all of this that really matters as she is leading and help all of us to awaken to these realities. Awakening is the key. It takes effort but what we see is a gradual realization of just how evil those who want control and domination really are. As a result the differences that were subtle and easy to deny are now so glaring that it is impossible to not understand that to support this puts you in the camp of supporting evil. And they are evil. 2022-08-05T05:11:28Z Comment by hillbilly yogi "We will remain trapped with the abuses of the status quo oppression machine until we awaken to this fact." 2022-08-05T05:01:03Z
