This is the backstory  

The EPA warned Mississippi in 2020 of "imminent" dangers for people drinking Jackson's tap water.

MARRIAGE IN ANCIENT GREECE: An Extinguished Hearth = an Extinguished Family

A really good thread on the institution of marriage in ancient Greece. I wish it had been longer, it’s very good. Certainly worth your time.  https://t.co/nmI1hs6ynV

Home Bible study was illegal for a year in Santa Clara county until the Sup Ct intervened.

I met a woman last night who said she tried to kill herself after being so dismayed her husband died alone in the hospital because of the insane rules. She says he called out for her all night and she cannot shake the guilt. How do we reconcile this?

Mass formation is, in essence, a kind of group hypnosis that destroys individuals' self awareness and robs them of their ability to think critically

Thank you to Charles Burris at Lew Rockwell.  

Dictatorships are based on a primitive Psychological mechanism, namely on the creation of a climate of fear amongst the population based on the brutal potential of the dictatorial regime.  Totalitarianism, on the other hand, has its roots in the Insidious psychological process of mass formation.  Mass formation is, in essence, a kind of group hypnosis that destroys individuals' self-awareness and robs them of their ability to think critically. 

Toward the end of the interview, Desmet says this,

The point of gravity in totalitarianism is not situated in the elite, it's situated in the masses and it's situated in the ideology. 

Which reminded me of the importance of rhetoric and the example of Julius Caesar and modern-day politicians, like Boris Johnson and others.  Gaslighting the public is their ideology.

Joe Biden lied about the raid on Mar-a-Lago

Yeah… It seems @potus exploited his @PressSec to lie to the American people. Unless I have misunderstood something. https://t.co/KbRPgYIHi2 pic.twitter.com/YQE3gVoXvv

If Biden told his Press Secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, to tell the press that Biden was not aware of the search warrant on Trump.  This shows just how much contempt the Bolsheviks in the White House have for anyone leaning on some advantage from identity that they construct.  The Left does not care about you guys who identify 50 ways to some kind of distinction.
