Abraham Lincoln: Politics Short and Sweet!

Abraham Lincoln: Politics Short and Sweet!

Here's a new video entitled "Abraham Lincoln: Politics Short and Sweet!"

Abraham Lincoln gives us his entire political philosophy in three points, and actually in only two sentences.

This is NOT ancient history: his three points have direct and profound application to our situation today, in this very present moment.

The "anti-Lincoln" philosophy of neoliberalism is destroying the people and allowing the theft of the resources given by the gods (or, if you prefer, by Nature) to the Nations of Earth. I have written against neoliberalism in many previous posts, including:

"We need to wake up and focus on neoliberalism"

"The self-devouring rot at the heart of neoliberalism"

"Olive trees against austerity"

"In the midst of great abundance, our leaders promote privation"

"Austerity and rent-seeking versus public infrastructure and prosperity"

"Knowledge to combat austerity, unemployment, and privation"

"Austerity is an affront to the gods"

"Collaborators against the gods"

I hope you will share with those for whom this message will be positive in some way.

Another warm thank-you to Esoteric of the Esoteric Thoughts channel for inviting me over for a conversation about "A Tale of Two Kings" and the ancient stories of Solomon and Midas.

This interview was actually recorded on 22 July 2022 but due to the way the schedule worked out, it is just now appearing for the first time today!

I hope you will enjoy this discussion -- and as always, please feel free to share with those for whom this information would be positive and valuable in some way.

Also, please consider giving Esoteric some positive feedback for all his hard work!

The stories and figures of the ancient myths constitute a precious inheritance, given to all cultures, connected by a common system of celestial metaphor, and intended for our benefit and blessing in this incarnate life.

How appalling:

The US once upon a time gave many thousand of their best tanks -- the M4 Sherman tank, including the version with the 76mm main gun, seen here -- to the Soviet Union in order to fight Germany and the Nazis in World War II.

Now the US (and Germany) are sending their tanks to the armed forces of the Ukraine -- a country that has commemorated WWII-era fascists and Nazi collaborators:

Military units of Ukraine such and Azov are openly pro-Nazi and openly wear Nazi insignia. The commander-in-chief and other Ukrainian military leaders have been photographed in offices where photographs and statue busts of WWII-era fascists and Nazi collaborators are proudly displayed. See one example here:

The irony will not be lost on the people of Russia.

The people of the United States of America might want to wake up and ask what exactly has happened in their own country since World War II supposedly ended.
