Recommendation: Confessions … CIA Agent
In keeping with my last post on the massacre at Orlando, I strongly recommend the Youtube video Confessions of a former covert CIA agent – Amaryllis Fox. She delineates the absolute need to know your “enemy” — he/she is human too. This was originally posted to my Facebook on 20160614.

Thoughts on the massacre at Orlando
I wish to comment of the massacre at Orlando, for a variety of reasons.

Welcome #2
Hi. I am re-evaluating how I use this blog, and have decided to resume it in a variety of ways.

However, I have remained deeply concerned about the issues of climate change,…

The Power of Visioning
Vision is like a good novel — it is a fiction that motivates. From Murakami on Gaza (thanks to John Hanagan on Facebook). Haruki Murakami accepted the Jerusalem Prize for Literature in 2009. This is from his acceptance speech. “Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on…

Welcome
In the past two days, I have received two key emails. Both seem vitally important to me in the resolution of global warming. If you are not able to access them, I’ll be happy to forward my copies. Al Gore’s The Turning Point: New Hope for the Climate(Rolling Stones, 2014 June 14), and Charles Eisenstein’s…
