Dear Dr. Gilbert L. Rochon:
You live in a state where the discrimination is a known factor. You do not, however, live in a state where the KKK and the NAZI cults continue to practice with an incredible amount of support from "White People" of the supposed "Liberal North". Nothing can be further from the truth ABOUT what is considered the liberal of USA in wherever we go there we're not, enlightened human Americans.
ROBERT SEAVER filed in the Oregon State BAR, a COMPLAINT regarding the Police Chief KRUGER, and how NAZI in the Rocky Butte sanctuary was standard operating procedure in the aughts. Truly a very gut feeling of reality in modern sick.
We get here how, and realize ~what-we-thought~ we-were-here-to-get but, we did not not only not get, too many too often got what should not have been: Martin Luther King, Jr., Diana of Wales and Dodi, humans race around looking for what we are born to realize.
And in our discovery/ies, there has been for such a long in the tooth time, an apartheid in earth.
A small fraction of the human being species get to decide really the life and death scenarios of earth life and with this unfashionable unreality THE/A degradation always into more of the degradation. For as long as religions and other systems of worship of, not-now ~ rule.
But those that benefit the greatest in earth are noticed, too.
And, the noticeable are not opaque despite the make-up artistry.
transparency in the intuitive visionaries
seeing deep into an unknown known unfathomable
our memories blink in and
out of our minds synapses
collecting time brains don't pass remembering
separation circles yesterday-today-tomorrow
how does the heart handle
grief? sadly always demanding a soul journey
where our love feelings shadow
box disappearing acts lonely bye-
byes, gone just-like-that ~ physicality life
invisible emotions visible energies too
Roberta Kelly
