If President Trump dies from the coronavirus that has killed more than 200,000 Americans largely due to his deliberate negligence, the man replacing him will be no less dangerous. While Mike Pence has eluded tough media scrutiny -- in part because he exhibits such a low-key style in contrast to Trump -- the pair has been a good fit for an administration that exemplifies the partnership of religious fundamentalism and corporate power.

The vice president, a former Indiana talk-show host who went on to become a six-term congressman and then governor, has described himself as “a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.” But he remains at cross-purposes with the biblical admonition (Matthew 6:24) that “you cannot serve both God and money.” Whether Pence has truly served God is a subjective matter, but his massive service to money -- big money -- is incontrovertible.

BANGKOK, Thailand -- The U.S. Justice Department arrested and charged
a Tibetan-American New York City police officer as an "illegal agent"
involved in "intelligence gathering" for China during the past six
years, after he fought as a U.S. Marine against the Taliban in
Afghanistan.

Baimadajie Angwang, 33, reportedly told China's consulate in New York
that local Tibetans who did not believe in the Dalai Lama or Tibetan
Buddhism would collaborate with Beijing.

After serving in Afghanistan in 2013 and 2014, Mr. Angwang became an
Army Reserve staff sergeant at Fort Dix, New Jersey, and received
"secret" security clearance from the Pentagon.

The criminal complaint was unsealed on Sept. 21. in a New York federal court.

If convicted, Mr. Angwang could be imprisoned for 55 years.

His arrest and federal detention in New York comes amid worsening
U.S.-China relations, with both nations suspicious of each other for
alleged spying, propaganda attacks, unfair commercial competition and
other abuses.

 macho cult leader can’t seem a mere mortal.

As a dictator-to-be, Trump may be done.

He’s the second White Supremacist president brought down by a virus he helped spread. He’s the second mobster-in-chief desperate for a pardon to stay out of prison.

If the Election Protection movement continues to fight, the election Trump has planned to steal or ignore may now be beyond him. Shy of staying in the White House, only a Mike Pence pardon can keep Trump out of the Big House.

He’s a morbidly obese 74-year-old, precisely the COVID’s favorite demographic.

His Evangelical Death Cult loves his rapist, mobster self as a Lordly trickster, sent down to shutter the feminist uterus and shoot infidels of color.

Both Britain’s Boris Johnson and Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro got through the virus. Both were weakened. Neither faced an election 33 days away.

Trump could survive.

 

Two time scales

 

The central problem which the world faces in its attempts to avoid catastrophic climate change is a contrast of time scales. In order to save human civilization and the biosphere from the most catastrophic effects of climate change we need to act immediately. Fossil fuels must be left in the ground. Forests must be saved from destruction by beef or palm oil production.

 

These vitally necessary actions are opposed by powerful economic interests, by powerful fossil fuel corporations desperate to monetize their underground “assets”, and by corrupt politicians receiving money the beef or palm oil industries.

 

However, although some disastrous effects climate change are already visible, the worst of these calamities lie in the distant future. Therefore it is difficult to mobilize the political will for quick action. We need to act immediately, because of the danger of passing tipping points beyond which climate change will become irreversible despite human efforts to control it.

I want to review an amazing little book called WHO MOVED MY CHEESE? By Dr. Spenser Johnson. It’s about change and how to deal with it effectively. The 4 characters are 2 mice, Sniff and Scurry, and 2 Littlepeople called Hem and Haw. They live in a maze and spend their time looking for and eating cheese. The gist is that the cheese supply at Cheese Station C dwindles and dies. The lesson lies in what the 4 do about it. How do they deal with change? (Cheese, is obviously a metaphor for anything. Use your imagination to fill in that blank.)  Sniff and Scurry run off into the maze to find new cheese. They eventually do after several days of hunger and uncertainty. Hem isn’t moving anywhere. He’s staying at Cheese Sta. C until more cheese arrives. Haw finally faces his own fears and ventures into the maze in search of cheese. The following are his insights that he writes on the wall along the way.

1              having cheese makes you happy

2              the more important your cheese is to you, the more you want to hang onto it.

3              If you do not change, you can become extinct.

Details about event

The Ohio Power Siting Board approved construction of a  proposed fracked gas power plant, which would be built right on Ohio State University's campus. but we can still stop the plant from being built. The next step to prevent a fracked gas plant from being built is to persuade new OSU President, Kristina Johnson, to support canceling the project.

Send a message to OSU President, Kristina Johnson urging her to cancel the proposed fracked gas plant on OSU's campus. Please take a moment to include a personal note about why it's important to you that OSU not build a fracked gas plant in the middle of campus.
