These people sound even creepier than the Mormons and that’s saying something coming from me. Also everyone should watch this video about Peter Thiel

Sounds like I will listen to POPE LEO homily later! Unfortunately EM has decided to interrupt what I want to listen to, sorry for that! He hacked my phone!

Yes, they are dangerous! Mr. Brown committed plagiarism against the films based on his books!

My husband is an ex Catholic - he says they are corrupt and extremely right wing. Good on the Pope for trying to dismantle, good luck to him - I hope he achieves it.

Pope Leo seems to be a good Pope for the Catholic community! We need good spiritual leadership at this time! We also need as Independents or democrats or never trumpets to listen to others who have a vast knowledge, to share with us! Especially since they have been in the political system.

As a former former, I have worried about the influence of these cults in the church -- Barrett belongs to something that is seems to me akin to the Christian cult that produced Gilead...

Good discussion. Learned a lot. For some reason this deep, dark cult doesn't surprise me, but then it does. It explains some of Christian Nationalism. Did fundamentalist minded protestants just become easy targets? How do open minded protestants fight this? Again, this explains a lot. How about a chat with some theologically sound protestant clergy? Or perhaps a round table discussion including open and free-thinking faith leaders of all persuasion. Ask them how they counter-act the repression of Opus Dei. This organization is as scary as all get out. Talk about a deep state. Thanks, Gareth, for you deep research into this. And thanks, Sam, for bringing this discussion to us. Take care.

Cheeto And the Nazi Economic Game: Screw Everybody Except The Wealthy

It has been clear since the 1980’s and Reagan that the main economic policy was to hand their wealthy donor class tax breaks and make the rest of the electorate pay for it It’s the story of the privileged class, superior genetics(RFK Jr and his eugenics crap), and “we deserve to rule” kind of policy that led eventually to the political strategy of “trickle down economics(TDE)” Give the wealthy a bunch of money out of the pockets of the middle class and then that money will be distributed to the inferior human beings “below them” The Republican gambit has always been “we’re better than everyone else” so join us….we’ll elevate your game

A couple of studies have now shown that TDE doesn’t work and that the wealthy just become wealthier with an ever increasing wealth gap as a result and as a result everybody else gets poorer It’s now clear that that Cheeto and the Nazis are living Greed/Power Corrupts, and Absolute Greed/Power Corrupts Absolutely

Yes, the protests over the weekend in my view are about saving the democratic Republic but that societal unrest has underpinnings in the economic inequality that is being foisted on the American people by the current Nazi regime in the guise of inflation WE the People have had enough and it’s French Revolution 2.0(21st century style) and the way to screw the wealthy is to tax them and level the playing field(in the 1950’s the effective tax rate for top 1% was 42 to 45% and now 26 to 28%!!!)

I read a lot of books but I don't fork out $$$ often for them. This book is one I bought in hardcover because it is that important. Well worth reading.
