gods, fantastic lecture Chris.

SO important to provide history and context and cause and effect.

It’s been SO bad watching this mass slaughter nightmare roll on and on and on and it’s accelerating again.

I share your fears and Baldwins fears as well. I’ll add Orwell as well.

Truely thanks for all your powerful words and drive, please, continue this fight for our humanity.

Holy Ghost People Batman!! I own a 35th Anniversary Shelby Cobra Daytona together with Dodge Viper diecast Hot Wheels in the box. I play Parliament's Motor Booty Affair on piano, loved it immediately it is fun. I'm considering learning to sing, the track from College Chorus to Chamber to the Oratorio, one day perhaps I could sing this song about cars. Bootie is in The Cockpit I'm afraid. Good money could be on me never driving again de to poverty vow. Really are THE SPEED SISTERS in this TIME OF OUR LIFE? Having THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES??!? I only saw a couple of YouTube videos. The blessed Olive Tree, neither of The East or The West. A building in the center of the city with FREE FOOD RESTAURANT, LECTURE THEATRE BALLROOM, MULTIPLE CONFERENCE ROOMS where people gather without having to GENERATE a RECEIPT to RECITE??!? PUBLIC LUXURY should be BEAUTIFUL TOMB COMPLEXES, The Nabateans had a good idea, but no wealth to build anything. I have breathed the hot blast of a cremation furnace right in my face, saw the bodies in The Morgue The Merrier, saw the ash embers and DO NOT WISH THAT ON ANYBODY. Resolution Life is buying Cornerstone or whomever funded the saddest radio, The Grand Ole Opry, when there were RADIO STATIONS with Orchestras, Staff Composers and Arrangers, Live Music in the 30s man, Trumpet and Clarinets OUT THE DOOR because Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong, uh, did Louis invent taking a Solo, displaying his Soul? Three Hits of Carfentanyl sure is appealing, I can't attend the Fashion Runways in Paris Gaza on Biometric Camera Multiple Families Being Crushed LIVE FIRE DANCERS but the bullshit I put up with is giving me these Suicidal Ideations I contracted from my wife, who has them for real. I have had to wrestle a knife from her. Social Psychology Experiment results are IN. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. She is trying to communicate WAY MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN FLAME THROWING JAPANESE SOLDIERS on islands but THE US MARINES were trafficked to LUNATIC PSYCHOPATH RAVER GENOCIDERS we can't call them, the oldest band in the world is TERMINATED? Did you watch the EXCELLENCE on GDK (I may have the three letters incorrect) ISRAEL IN MOVIES and ISRAELI WEAPONS IN MOVIES??!? I saw enough of those movies to despise myself for NOT RECOGNIZING A CENTURY OF MASS MURDER, and only this morning realized ZIONISM PREDATES NATIONAL SOCIALISM. I confess poor thinking from Schizophrenia. I will throw down a rakat to THE LORD OF THE UNIVERSE (Moral El Numero Uno) I KNOW my speech in ENGLISH ain't guarded by THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, THE LORD OF ALL THE UNIVERSES, ALLAH O AR-RAHMAN, KING OF THE BUSINESS OF SAJDAH PALACES, THE ONLY BEING one should pray to in Arabi before, during and after death. I don't think he is nevessary for this even, modesty here, but certainly death occuring as a surprise could be confusing, disorienting I wish I could avoid calling him in any case Id like to comtinue journeying to him prefer his presence in The Next World when I have the comfort of my wife and our Monogamy in a more real universe that endures in greater permanence than this place where WE STILL DONT KNOW HOW TO EAT or BRING OUR PARENTS AND SPOUSE TOGETHER they need the solidarity, this world is theirs, we serve them.

ABANDONED CAMPSITES did you read DR MCDOUGALL'S WIKIPEDIA??!? You gotta forward it to the Chomsky Anarchist Media Oversight Collective. Sigh. AND JOHN ROBBINS wtf are they THOMAS JEFFERSON and JOHN ADAMS or what? THEY DIED ON THE SAME DAY earn your NALANDA PHD refuting me if you wish buty logic is unassailable. My delusion is that THE ARTHRITIS DOKTOR IN SANTA ROSA my wife had to visit in 2018 looked like the guy in the Wikipedia Photo. But I have facial recognition problems she Informs me, she immediately started 90+ days of GREEN, uh Kale Dill Cilantro Lemon THE CELERY MAKES ZERO SENSE TO ME AND KALI FLOWER?? I will try for a 5150 if I see MahaKali walking out of the forest with her childrens blood dripping from her mouth, Women's Mental Health absolutely

but do you think ANY WOMAN in the IDF drank any Palestinian Children's Blood like SENATOR CREDIT CARD?? Women were not intended to ever PURCHASE REAL ESTATE or CLOSE ESCROW. Why is nobody concerned that they all HAVENT CLOSED ESCROW ALREADY? Women kick asses selling SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCES and managing THE SETTLEMENT TABLES. They know better than we who is moving into town. Did your wife explain Nutrition Science to you??!? I had to lose my head to Mughals before I kearned to punch Nazis in the face for this information. Does she have grandchildren and when will she have a Great Grandchild?? White Linen Dresses are NOT HARAM. Ill dress like a street hooker if I must and I will put my body between her and the dirtbags hypersexual hypermasuline I do not fear Death I cannot drink enough wine for that, Lager such as BECKS AMERICAS FAVORITE, or CARLSBERG or THAI, JAPANESE, CHINESE lager is equally good. Some voices in my head about Champagne the other day: 1965 Bob Bondurant's wife threw a glass in Alan Mann's face two years prior to DAN GURNEY FOR PRESIDENT SPRAYING THE FRENCH PRESS PHOTOGRAPHERS, athletes these days have ZERO UNDERSTANDING what TF they are doing wasting Champagne. If someone insults you, buy a Moet and Chandon was what The Rolling Stones drank at 3 called it tea. How is this knowledge mine alone??!? It took zero effort to see that Sport Ritual clearly. So many things are like that. Like Allah inviting all of us to the GLORY of PUNCHING NAZI SCHWEINHUND ZIONIST SPEAR RAPISTS in the face. EDWARD never taught me this. Thank God for Henri Corbin and Louis Massignon but have you read Khaliq Ahmad Nizami??!? I only have three of his books there's a couple more I will actually read but, good lord a divinity student should read him instead, and his American CIA Osama Bin Laden expert Protegee who was SO FUCKING COOL to me when I visited. Are he and his wife vegetarian??!? I hope for WAY TOO MUCH.

This is why I object so strenuously to the current (western) intellectual fad of referring to extreme political polarization as "tribalism."

Despite the many times I've been whitemansplained that it's just a neutral descriptor, it is not. Historically, "tribe" was applied to subSaharan Africans, the Native Nations of the Americas, and Indigenous Australians. You know; dark, uncivilized, ignorant, violent. Whereas the various Euros and their colonist descendants are "ethnic." White, civilized, classically learned, and reasonable.

Yet the reality is as Chris describes.

I just did a search on Amazon for books on"tribalism," this catchphrase of the learned. I knew it was a common usage, but didn't realize the extent. I gave up after 8pp 36/pg 288 total, only 3 of which used the term as a positive. Tell me again how it's neutral. And that prejudicial thought is found only among poorly educated lessers.
