Toward a World that Works for Everyone
Now that “conspiracy theories” are about to be proven correct (the vaccine kills, the cabal is using directed-energy weapons on us, FEMA kills residents after a hurricane, Pizzagate was real, etc.), I’d like to propose that we give our activities a new name. It’s actually an old name that hasn’t seen much use in the […]
Happy Mother’s Day to all Earth mothers, Mother Gaia, and Mother/Father God. When the kundalini reaches the fourth chakra and the heart opens (or a similar circumstance that I may not be aware of), we find ourselves in the middle of, to use Linda Dillon’s words, a tsunami of love. It blows right through us […]
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t support war or a lack of reconciliation after a war, etc. I’m not a warmonger and I have experienced the deep peace that we’re all aiming for – and will get to in time. (1) But what I’ve noticed as a historian looking at the sweep of human history […]
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.

That involved preparing for a hearing with a refugee claimant and their legal representative, presiding, and issuing a decision based upon the facts of the case, the country literature, applicable treaties and […]
Editorial One of the values that has been systematically attacked since the Second World War is the value of decency. On the scale of values, “decency” for me ranks higher than, say, “reasonable.” Can we discuss? To my way of thinking, reasonable is like the cake and decency is like the icing. Decency is a […]
Pope to visit Canada to help reconciliation over indigenous schools scandal By Philip Pullella, Reuters, October 27, 2021 https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/pope-visit-canada-help-reconciliation-over-indigenous-schools-scandal-2021-10-27/ VATICAN CITY, Oct 27 (Reuters) – Pope Francis has accepted an invitation to visit Canada, where he faces calls for him to apologise for the Catholic Church’s role in former schools for indigenous people where children […]
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.
