Gina Carano felt her personal political views were more important than her career and, when she spoke out, the press took her words, misinterpreted them, and joined together to see her ousted from Disney for expressing them. She talks with Tucker about how she’s a fighter and a protector . She says she wants others […]
Current Events are Demonstrating the Need for Honest Witnesses
Folks, can I ask any readers who are willing to invoke the Divine Mother and the universal law of grace to have Suzanne and Merinda Maresca get the temporary (10 months) accommodations they need and have in mind after the interior of their home and all their possessions were destroyed in a recent (accidental) housefire. […]
On Reporting the Unspeakable … or Not
Folks, we here at GAoG know that we’ll soon be hearing, globally undoubtedly, about crimes that are horrendous. When I think of only what I’ve seen, which was more than I could bear, it feels like I’m sitting in an electric chair. I start shaking and crying. This is what secondary traumatization feels like. With […]
Secondary Traumatization
Secondary traumatization occurs when a person hears or watches an account of horrendous, shocking, or sickening events and is traumatized from the hearing or seeing rather than from being a part of them. I spent eight years as a refugee adjudicator/human-rights decision maker with the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, listening to stories of […]
The Imperialist Massacre Behind One of Canada’s Most Prestigious Academic Prizes
This is an example of the type of revelations we’re going to be hearing about soon. One of the Killam-sponsored awards is the Canada Council Grant. I’d be walking into a conflict of interest if I didn’t declare that I received one in around 1982 to study Sociology at UBC. I feel sick to hear […]
Human Decency and the Honest Center
I actually don’t want to talk about Trump and Biden supporters, right or left. But I do want to talk about what I call the “honest center.” In any rally there’ll be that group of decent people. They’ll be sincere, concerned enough to protest, and yet all the while straightforward in their relations with other […]
The Truth will Set You Free and It won’t Buy You a Cup of Coffee
A wonderful example of the self-serving bias. (1) A picture is worth a thousand words. I said earlier that every society needs honest witnesses to the truth. (2) To be one, we have to put the truth ahead of all other considerations. Social convention and diplomacy often work against that commitment. Watch a speaker turn […]
What’s Going On? – Part 1/2
What’s going on? In the world? In my nation? Let me pretend I’m talking to a newcomer. Where do I start? It depends on how far back we want to go from what we see around us. Sort of like adjusting the microscope. Why don’t we focus out a bit and ask ourselves, to start […]
What’s Going On? – Part 2/2
(Concluded from Part 1, above.) Meanwhile, the constantly-rising energies, which are causing our Ascension, will make it more and more difficult for those who practice evil to survive. Gradually they’ll die of heart attacks, accidents, and the like. Did I say evil? The trafficking, rape, and murder of children is evil, is it not? The […]
Every Society Needs Honest Witnesses to the Truth
Watching the Ukrainian prosecutors’ revelations about Burisma was hard for me. I was surprised because I’ve listened to much, much worse from refugees fleeing countries where rape, torture, and assassination are government practices. But it reawakened things in me that I feel passionate about – which are relevant, I think, to building Nova Earth. People […]
