Nunes Memo and Mueller...What’s going on?

Anita, this plan  has been in the works for days.  Rachel Maddow first reported on it this weekend.  They are going to fire Rosenstein and put someone above Mueller who is willing to muffle Mueller. It is amazing that they would find someone who would do that because they too would eventually be held responsible for obstructing justice. But it's clear that that is the plan. 

I've been looking at this for the last two days and posted on it on the Prediction page comments a few days ago.  I can hear the GOP strategists working on this plan. 

Thanks Jeanne. This is so frightening.

I am equally upset Anita. I started a post yesterday then deleted it. I didn’t know how to write about it and not get people upset . The gop is determined not to let mueller expose all the people he is going to expose, mostly trump. 

I have written about it a lot.  I hear them plotting. Devin Nunes is their executioner. The only thing I’m not sure of is whether they will fire Mueller. But we are entering into a dark time.   It comes in waves. We will feel good again later. We will prevail. 

Dear Jeanne and all...Don't forget about the cool, protective angel breaths... I do think my jitters that started last week relate to a certain timeline we have entered. But we can do this, right? Yes, we can.

This is exactly the period of sturm und drang (news churn) that I warned y'all was coming. 

Breathe.

No matter what the rethuglicans do, they are winding the noose tighter about their necks. 

Getting rid of them is a process, not a swift fall of the guillotine.  We have to be patient.

Best counter to all this is a) NEVER listen to Fox news, the state run propaganda channel.

b) Go do things in your own life to batten down the ship.  See to your debts, get ready to garden, take care of health issues, make plans with friends, clean your house. 

c) get together with like minded others and plan out one single thing you can do to embody your values in the public sphere.  Maybe this is voter registration. Maybe it is volunteering at a senior center. Maybe it is serving in a soup line.  Doesn't matter. Just get out there and help someone.

If we all do that, we are doing the ground level work necessary to get through this time.

More another day...I got a long drive tomorrow, out of the loop.

I see it this way - I've seen 2018 & 2019 as a time when our Federal Government democracy goes dark.  I've seen this coming for three  years.  I also see we will come out of it and light will spread across the land. I also see that there are amazing light beings, like you all, who are here too and together we will live in the light.  These past few days have been hard because I felt this coming and I also feel that fear and pain of many people who have worked hard to keep the truth out - people in government, advocates, in the press, and just so many good people.   And I grieve over this. I do.  I feel this dark thug party, love your name for them R1 - the Rethuglicans - plotting such darkness. Then I see a despairing cry from Anita and I feel her pain and it ignites my own grief over this.    

Thank you, R1 and dear Melissa.  I will be posting our light ball Valentines Day meeting.  Can't wait for it!  Can't Wait!  love you all. 

Joanna Macy, one of my most revered teachers, does an exercise she calls the Truth Mandala.  We gather around in a circle and someone goes into the middle.   And that person shares their grief and their hope.  Meanwhile  everyone supports her by saying things like, "I'm with you, Anita."  I hear you, Jeanne. And when we are done, everyone applauds.  I did this with Joanna in 2015 at a weeklong workshop in Western Mass. I cried my head off when I was in the circle. I cried for my children and all the young people who will have to deal with climate change. I felt so damn good when I was done.   Joanna also cried when she was in the circle and I loved her for her honesty.  I accept my fear and grief. And I accept yours, Anita.  And I am wrapping my arms around all of you right now.  :-)

We're with you, Jeanne. We hear you, Jeanne. We thank God fot you and for this circle place. We love you.

This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine.  This little light of mine.  I'm gonna let it shine.  This little light of mine. I'm gonna let it shine. Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.

Even if the very worst comes to pass, and those in "power" continue to abuse it and the federal government as we know it crumbles, there are millions of us who know what honor, truth and decency are.  And we are the ones with power.

I hope to join you on February 14 for a light ceremony.  Let it shine!

Ah, what a group you are.  I think sometimes that you are a perfection.  We are not all in our perfection every moment, but as a group we are.
