Fight for freedom is gradual and eternal. Today’s fight for freedom can be manifested in:

1. Ending Israeli occupation to Palestine
2. Closing Guantanamo
3. Ending gender pay gap and economic severe inequality
4. Giving Transgenders access to their self-identified-gender BR
5. Ending search of electronic devices at border entries
6. Limiting NSA invasion of privacy
7. Limiting detention time at border crossings to 1 hour maximum
8. Redefining border crossing among nations
9. Ending endoctrination of children into sects and religions
10. Eliminating nationalism from education and teaching world citizenship
11. Redefining the 2nd amendment as allowing people to have equivalent legal power as government instead of arms.
12. Sanctioning countries that violate human rights and people’s right for self-determination and rule.

The interpretation of the 2nd Amendment today, is the government paying for 1000’s of lawyers to be employed by the ACLU.

Good News Wednesday:

Overpopulation is a myth. Human population is stabilizing. There will never be the 12th billion human.

People living in extreme poverty is the lowest in history.

Immigration is becoming more and more important for stabilizing population and importing fresh blood and genius.

2% of the brain (two table spoon) is relational brain. That’s what organizes our thoughts coming from the rest of the brain.

98% of the brain functioning alone produces only intuition.

We have lost our intuition power by losing touch with our raw thoughts and feelings, and communicating through text/email.

Judges are the new heroes.

Facebook is the new public Television.

Tweets are the new press release.

The constitution will be tested and tried like never before.

Every American eligible to vote will vote in the next elections.

If you are waiting for anything, you won’t get it. Patience is an excuse for pain. Either go get it, or let it go mentally.

“The Holocaust did not start with gas chambers.”

The word of 2017:

GASLIGHTING

Gaslighting is a form of manipulation through persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying in an attempt to destabilize and delegitimize a target. Its intent is to sow seeds of doubt in the targets, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Instances may range from the denial by an abuser that previous abusive incidents ever occurred up to the staging of bizarre events by the abuser with the intention of disorienting the victim. The term owes its origin to Gas Light, a 1938 play and 1944 film, and has been used in clinical and research literature. (Wikipedia)
