An American Hangover

Mornings have begun to bear an uncomfortable resemblance to having partied too hard the night before. Stumbling towards our morning coffee, we wake to a flurry of new governmental actions and directives. We are left scratching our heads, minus the aspirin, in a puzzled effort to apply a working logic to the framework of it all. It is easier to apply an emotional measure to the headliners and, with minimal effort, find shifting sands of common ground. Americans are equally frustrated when seeking...

The Voice Of Silence

There still exists the politicians’ underlying fears that “the pen is mightier than the sword” or, in modern times, the deadly drone. What they forget is that death is a human condition, words live on.

The murders of Marie Colvin in Syria, Jamal Khashoggi, and Mohamed al-Tanani, are names on a growing, global list highlighting the increasing fear of governments and power groups in the neutral, reporting role of the press. A growing hostility, (despite the protections outlined in international law), that has turned journalism into a frontline profession, where bearing witness can mean becoming a casualty of truth.

War: What’s Is It Good For – Part II

Who am I and where do I belong are perhaps the most primal questions of human existence. We are all inherently, seekers of truth. In the practice of asking these questions, we naturally align our answers along agreeable proximities. This brings a sense of comfort and safety as we find validation in our shared versions of truth. It is extremely difficult for anyone regardless of education or empathy level, to fully comprehend or relate to events beyond a certain geographical scope. Distance suppo

All Lives Matter: An American Holocaust

On May 25th, 2020, Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin crushed his knee on the neck of George Floyd killing him, as the public stood by filming. 9 minutes/ 29 seconds that encapsulated the violent threads that weave the social fabric of America.

9 minutes/29 seconds that set the stage for the emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement. A soul-deep howl for social justice and equitable change. For Black Americans, their personal history of slavery, abuse, and racial discrimination was fin

What is BRICS and Can I Eat It?

It’s hard work staying updated on generational texting. Some days, I am reduced to a simple LOL or TL. Which for me, means, I saw it and have zilch time to engage. Seriously, acronyms are out of control. Every industry and country hogs their own and every generation is gleefully creating new ones to confuse phone-stalking parents and/or older siblings. CEO, AML, IRA, AMEX, IDK. I miss real, spelled-out words and complete sentences. They let you read between the lines and make general assumptions

Israel –More Than A Political Reckoning

Day 3 of a “surprise attack” on Israel and on Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023, Israel formally declared war on Hamas aka Palestine.

Months of bickering between Israel’s Netanyahu government and the US have been abnormally tense and highly unusual for these traditional allies. A rift seeming to accelerate after an earlier fallout between the US and Saudi Arabia. A shell game of global allies and alignments changing by the day.

Make no mistake, this is a war. Openly in Ukraine and now, Israel. They are not

A Call To Action – Liluye | by and for people with Great Spirit

Historically, in addition to immediate loss of life, wars are associated with an increased vulnerability to human trafficking. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there is a clear correlation between conflicts and human trafficking, with conflict-affected regions experiencing dramatically increased instances of trafficking. UNICEF reports that children and women in conflict zones are particularly targeted. An estimated 28 million children are forcibly displaced due to globa

Am I Terrorist Now? — WOMENZ STRAIGHT TALK

In Atlanta, Georgia a very peculiar battle broils. It has nothing and everything, to do with the heat wave frying everyone’s brains. Mind you, extreme weather has nothing to do with any climate crisis. And, the world is flat. Just saying.

At first glance, It could be assumed all the ruckus revolves around a proposed construction for the “Atlanta Public Safety Training Center” . Public Safety. Training. Sounds great, what’s wrong with that!

2023 Past to Present — WOMENZ STRAIGHT TALK

“Perception of both time and space, is deeply shaded by our cultural practices. It organizes, defines, and rules us. But what is it really?

It’s 6:00am and I stumble, crusty and crinkled toward the kitchen and coffee. It’s that “time”. Despite an ear jangling 30 minutes of testing all alarm sound options on my phone, my “gentle morning” tinkle still ruthlessly jars me from a huddled, winter slumber. Rocketing from dreams to reality. An alarm is an alarm however gentle the chime. Shakespeare had

Ukraine: Part III –The Sky Is Falling

Four weeks in, the loss of civilian lives and the massive destruction of Ukrainian cities continues. Civilian refugees continue to flow over the borders of neighboring Poland, Romania, Hungary, and Moldova.

On March 16th, US President Biden added more fuel to the fire. Publicly stating Putin is a “war criminal, thug and murderous dictator” leaves little room for open diplomacy or, back-channel solutions. Name-calling is reminiscent of the Trump era. It did not lay the grounds for diplomacy then

Ukraine: The Opening Move

In the early hours of Wednesday, Russia finally made its opening ploy. Europe will be the first chessboard played in the initial moves in this global game. Putin came in with strong combination play. He knows his chess and has played this manoeuvre before. Russia tested the West’s resolve when it annexed the Crimea with a mere slap on the wrist from the world. Crimea finally showing its true value for Russian forces entering the Ukraine. History has a nasty habit of repeating.

In God We Trust: Roe vs Wade

As the Roe vs Wade decision and public prayer slice across the US as the Voice of God, the ghosts of our Founding Fathers are scrambling for some old-fashioned spirits while shaking their spectral heads. In common with God, their names are routinely being used “in vain” and with considerable Pride. A proverbial “Deadly Sin”. Obviously, none of them can add their two cents to the conversation due to a short-sighted lack of an internet connection.

The concept of 7 Deadly Sins predates formal Chri

Human Trafficking: Is It a Crime? – Liluye Blog | By and for People with Great Spirit

The value of a trafficked life is in the hands of current market trends, not unlike Wall Street stock shares. The two have a lot in common. Big business opportunities and calculable profit margins. An early 2014 report estimated illegal profits from human trafficking/slavery to be over 150 billion per year. Add eight years, plus an economic crisis, and “profits in these shares” have more than doubled.

We must, in understanding this dark market acknowledge that on both sides of the fence, the mo

Bot Thought

Who do you like? Who do you follow? This is important stuff. These days, doing social media is a full-time occupation. It requires Olympian level finger dexterity and a splintered attention refracting like a conflict diamond. And, Sharing. The most powerful weapon in our social media arsenal. With it we can start a political movement for change. We can start a war. Every purchase, every “like” or “follow” carries a personal responsibility. Flicks releasing blood to wash the feet of our new gods.
