I just wanted to say how much I appreciated your post that I just read at Dr. Mercola's site called: "How Do Tyrants Make People Act Against Their Own Interests?" It was very well thought out and articulated. Thank you Tessa. I'm glad to see your work reaching Mercola's audience.

Sawing a table in half!! That is such a hilarious image of Russian absurdity. Love Bulgakov—“The Master and Margarita” is a romp. I didn’t know there was a movie of “Heart of a Dog”—not that I have time to watch movies these days ;-)

Have you read “Oblomov”? One of my favorite Russian novels (out of many favorites :-)

Thank You for your post and for your ability to connect and show up in your words. Having lived in russia during that pivotal time of 90/91 it is a pionent to hear your thoughts on watching the west fall. I am reminded that no matter what clothes our civilisation wears, the wolves still freak out and eat each other. I am simply thankful that my guiding light is working with magical interfaces rather than just the scientific. I broke up with myself in the west and wrote about it here - https://mavenworks.substack.com/p/exit-of-the-occupier-manifold

Over a year ago I created a folder in my bookmarks called Controlled Demolition for all the things happening all over the world that make no sense and/or are crumbling, falling apart for reasons obscure. It’s filling up rapidly. There is a reason, and it’s all very deliberate. The effects upon humanity can be very obvious or more subtle, likely taking years before we see what such madness and chaos can do to our psyches.

As difficult as it is to watch, we must remain steadfast and grounded in hope, and fight back with whatever we can do as individuals. Death by a thousand paper cuts can go both ways. And good IS more powerful than evil.

Thank you for your actions as a beacon of truth. Keep up the good fight.

If you can't win at the polls, call your opponent an "insurrectionist" and disqualify him/her:

It's important for the "Dems" side to honor the day January 6th. It was their made-for-TV-movie.

Babylon Bee sort of has the story here:

So perhaps a vision of the future of places like NYC is current day East St. Louis.

I supported Trump in 2016 and 2020. I'm aware of his shortcomings; he's far from perfect. He did do good things during his 4 years. He started no new wars. Some ME peace deals were brokered. He tried to leave Afghanistan. I still believe Hillary would have made poor decisions and gotten us into more war - based on her track record.

The most disappointing thing for me about Trump was the people he surrounded himself with. He made many poor decisions in that respect and was constantly being stabbed in the back. Part of this is just the D.C. swamp, something that he ran on and was correct about.

There are plenty of people who worship Trump, GEOTUS. Probably twice as many think he is literally Satan. I imagine a good number of those people really enjoyed him on The Apprentice. You seem to have a real talent for putting current events into a good perspective and seeing through the BS, I'm not that good. Saying that, I think Trump's legacy for those who can be objective will be the POTUS who ripped the bandage off the wound. He could have done a lot more if he didn't have some severe personality defects. As usual, we are mostly choosing between a giant douche and a turd sandwich.
