For those who remember Coyote, he keeps popping up in some of our minds, so I've decided to start a thread that contains all of his posts and articles from his website. I also included some of the posts that came before or after his post to give it context.
Coyote came to the forum 7 years ago, in 2019, at the tender age of 24, and then passed from a long time childhood illness a month after his 27th birthday. The day after he passed, I took my dog to a mountain in Boston (Blue Hill) and could feel his spirit there on the hike.
I climbed a mountain today and again I felt Coyote's spirit. Apparently so did some of you. So I will start moving his many posts to this thread where anyone can tap into his wisdom. He had 87 pages of posts, so it will take a long while to move them to one place. If you want to read more than what I have moved to this thread, just click on his name and you will come to his Profile Page, then click on Activity and you can see his posts.
Does anyone else find it interesting that right after Rick Perry returns from Russia, Trump declassifies info that would show how we surveiled Page and how the FBI investigation was conducted at the start. I cant see anything specific on it but my gut intuition tells me that Putin sent orders back to his puppet with Perry acting as messenger boy. Depending on what all is included and released, this could give Putin the info on how he was caught and how not to get caught in 2018 and 2020.
MAS, I wasn't aware of Perry's sojourn, but when the news hit me that Trump has ordered this disturbing declassification, I instantly felt it was a distract-and-disrupt play intended to divert the heat and scrutiny that'll be launched his way as Manafort's participation with the Special Counsel unfolds. I can see Stephen Miller encouraging it.
Still, it wouldn't surprise me to learn anything at this point.
Trump's declassification of those documents is an act of treason. It's meant not only to distract, more importantly it is a way to share how our intelligence agencies do their jobs with our enemies. Make no mistake, we are at war and have been for a while now. Just because it's mostly electronic and not guns and bombs doesn't mean it's not happening.
I have to second Yes2maybe. Warren and lots of the names being bandied about right now don't seem to possess the modest, unifying energy suited to this moment. I keep looking at the predictions for the year 2024, and I do think "the next big thing" in progressive American politics is going to be someone we don't know about yet; someone obscure, a state senator perhaps, and we may have to wait several years for this person (likely a she) to emerge. As far as 2020 goes, another stolen election seems to be a distinct possibility, and perhaps we need the shock and disappointment of that in order to mature and usher in a new paradigm of politics in the 2020s.
Muriel, today's print edition of the New York Times covered the latest Yellow Vest protests, if that's any consolation.
Trying to quell popular unrest in Europe with D-notices and whatnot is a losing cause. For a while I've been following the writings of Tim Morgan, a contrarian British economist whose basic thesis is that the economy is an energy system and not a financial system. According to his models, the increasing cost of extracting carbon-based energy has been eating away at per capita prosperity in most of the developed Western world since the mid-2000s. So really the economic trends that provoked the gilets jauntes are present in the rest of Western Europe, North America, and East Asia, and those trends will continue to worsen until we usher in a new economic and energy paradigm. Until then, we in the West can expect more protests just like the ones going on in France.

Above is a link to an article from last month where Tim Morgan addresses the Yellow Vests. Also, I would highly suggest Tim's entire blog, "Surplus Energy Economics," to anyone who wants to understand how biophysics factor into the crises of today. He is an intelligent and professional writer, and he has some very important things to say about the economy that almost no one else is talking about.
Ditto to what's already been said. Psychologically speaking, Trump really is a little boy who just wants attention, and I refuse to patronize his neediness. Most modern autocrats thrive in the spotlight of the 24/7 media (think about Putin's annual call-in television show), and this speech is just par for the course.

I just watched your most recent YouTube video, Jeanne, and you perfectly convey why I was so drawn to this community in the dark days of early 2017. I was also reading the works of Charles Eisenstein and Joanna Macy at that time, and your predictions and viewpoint really just "clicked" with all of these new and inspirational ideas I was being exposed to. And as detoo notes, your humility and respect is on full display when you speak. Indeed, your YouTube videos will probably draw in many more light workers in the months to come.
Regarding Kali Yuga, I believe I was the one who first noted how your visions align with Hindu prophecy, but a community member named "Indian" was able to provide more firsthand knowledge than myself (those archived comments are here). Per your question in the video, the only reliable source I have about the timing of Kali Yuga is this essay on Graham Hancock's website, which I gather you have already read.
I'm so glad to be re-engaging with this community. Thank you so much for all of your work, Jeanne.

Re: Tulsi Gabbard Democrat from Hawaii: Lynn might be on to something. I don't think she should be given a free pass just because she is associated with Sanders and the progressive wing of the Democratic party. Her defining positions revolve around foreign policy, and she has described herself as "hawkish" when it comes to terrorism (as opposed to being "a dove" on regime change). She supported enhanced vetting procedures for asylum seekers from Syria and Iraq during the Obama years, which earned her the admiration of Steve Bannon. She is also friendly towards Narendra Modi, the Hindu nationalist prime minister of India who turned a blind eye towards pogroms of Muslim communities in Gujarat in the early 200os.
But just looking at the stage being set for the 2020 elections, I'm not sure her stated campaign focus of "war and peace" is going to stand out in an election cycle that will probably be defined by domestic economic issues. She may just end up being one more face among many contenders.

A highlight: "Ms. Eller said there was something different, spiritual even, about women working the land together.
'If the tractor breaks down, I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m thankful my dad is here.’ But when it comes to everyday work, like feeding the cows, I would much rather go with my mom, because we can actually enjoy it,' she said. 'We’ll both say, ‘Oh, isn’t this beautiful out here today?’ We notice how beautiful it is when the sun’s shining on the snow.'"
