11:09:33 From Richard Page to Everyone:
US/NATO squeezed out all Russian petroleum delivery ports. Karmic consequence may be rise of a non-US dominated petroleum currency, eliminating US ability to dilute its debt at the expense of the world. Immediate reduction by perhaps 25% of US standard of living…
11:09:52 From Melanie Cohen to Everyone:

Regime change that would allow Western fossil fuel wealth to control the mining of the melting Arctic

11:25:34 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
How did US citizen become the cheerleaders for war😢
11:27:39 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
In 1982 half a million people closed down New York, from almost every country, marching for peace
11:27:46 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Answer: Unconscious white privilege, impoverished democracy, greed, intergenerational trauma, and all the degrading INTENTIONAL DISTRACTIONS. For starters.....
11:27:58 From Alexandra Lincoln to Host and Panelists:
Hello! Side note… Is there anyone I can speak with at Ubiquity about enrolling? I’ve sent a couple emails but no response yet. Thank you!
11:28:42 From Jim Garrison to Alexandra Lincoln, Host and Panelists:
Alexandria, please email me directly at jgarrison@ubiquityuniversity.org
11:30:25 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Marianne Williamson is running for President in the Primary to debate Biden. She’s out campaigning. Her “Notes from the trail”: “Someone needs to take a stand for universal health care. Someone needs to take a stand for cancelling the entire college loan debt. Someone needs to take a stand for tuition free college (which we had until the 1960’s). Someone needs to take a stand for free childcare. Someone needs to take a stand for paid family leave and guaranteed sick pay. Someone needs to take a stand for a guaranteed livable wage.
With 39% of Americans now reporting they skip meals in order to pay for rent, someone needs to take a stand for an economic u-turn in America.”
11:31:17 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
2nd answer: How did we get here? 100% failure to understand, resist, disable, and ultimately REMOVE the unholy alliances between these huge systems of oppression. (Military/Intelligence/War/Media/Big Pharma/Big Banks/etc etc etc
11:31:31 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
“The positions I support are considered moderate in every other advanced democracy, and they should be in ours as well.
So I’m going to continue being that someone, and I hope you will support me. Let’s not forget that the majority of Americans actually agree with my positions, but have been so beaten down as to not expect any more than they have. Americans have been trained to expect far too little.”
11:31:58 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
We NEED Humanity Rising Network to manifest its vision for a full throttled News, Positive Entertainment, Uplifting diverse media… 🙂
11:32:04 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
MW
11:32:53 From Alexandra Lincoln to Host and Panelists:
Thank you Jim! I shall!
11:33:30 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Yes! Humanity Rising Truth News! Childrens Defence Fun does a great job of delivering daily truth on the web.
11:34:22 From Marilyn Schramm to Everyone:
Deborah, Dem House & Biden took a stand for ALL those things, but Americans keep sending Repubs to Senate (and people like Manchin/Sinema). The American public is ignorant & refuses to wake up
11:35:21 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Disaster Capitalism (great book) lays out the clear steps: Create problem, Offer solution, Control narrative, and FOLLOW THE $$$ TRAIL. Classic!
11:36:13 From Marilyn Schramm to Everyone:
literacy rate in US is 77%. Of that 77%, 56% are literate at 6th grade level or below
11:37:44 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Being literate doesn’t mean you have much choice in what your fed in the News OR Education…
11:38:20 From Janet Asiain to Everyone:
The (mainstream) Dems and Biden? Please. They are corporate capitalists to the hilt. National politics are all a con
11:38:36 From Marilyn Schramm to Everyone:
are you passively or actively illiterate?
11:38:53 From Janet Asiain to Everyone:
You don't have to read or listen to mainstream news
11:39:06 From Janet Asiain to Everyone:
We're all here, aren't we
11:40:07 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Thank Reality that there are hero’s of truth like Chris Hedges
11:40:21 From Janet Asiain to Everyone:
amen
11:40:42 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Yes, THIS WAR MONGERING is serious MIND CONTROL. Rumsfeld lied about Weapons of Mass Destruction, US killed 500,000 Iraqi children, then later admitted they lied (with excuses re poor intelligence) and Madeleine Albright called it "collateral damage" I cry nearly every day about this atrocity my country caused, lied about, and keeps repeating. NO WONDER THE GLOBAL SOUTH IS CLAIMING THEIR OWN SOVEREIGNTY! LEADING THE WAY!
11:41:23 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Hilarious Noam! 😂😂🤣
11:42:08 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
It’s like a championing of Hollywood film drama - from cowboys and Indian on
11:43:25 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
"Outer reaches of Empire" is a eloquent description Chris. Would it be accurate to say that we US citizens are SLEEPING in the belly of the (beast) Empire?
11:44:48 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
Why are Californians paying to do to other countries what was done to us? California is shedding its yanqui skin!
::https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/04/25/infamous-san-jose-statue-of-thomas-fallon-is-taken-down::
11:45:17 From Mary Thorp_WV to Everyone:
Just like no one sees the victims of the mass shootings. Numb.
11:46:13 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Look at all the violent movies bombarding EVERYONE, so much of the time. Where are the “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington”, “Touched by an Angel”
11:46:51 From Barbro Esbjörnsdotter to Everyone:
Yes, a warped perception. Why is the US so eager to send its young men and women all over the globe to kill or get killed? A mystery to me.
11:48:03 From Stan Pokras to Shannon McArthur (she/her), Host and Panelists:
Oh, dear… get well…
11:48:24 From Shannon McArthur (she/her) to Host and Panelists:
Doing my best. Thank you.
11:48:33 From Marilyn Schramm to Everyone:
Americans are a very fearful culture. Denial is a common response to dealing with fear.
11:49:01 From Dr. Carroy (Cuf) Ferguson to Everyone:
So, as an African American, after understanding “context” and “what is so”, one is always inevitably left with the “essential question”, which is “Now what?”
11:49:10 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
War atrocities ARE war crimes against humanity. The alpha and omega of constant war is a MORAL HUMAN FAILURE - especially after WW II.
11:49:46 From Barbro Esbjörnsdotter to Everyone:
So good to hear Chris Hedges!
11:50:21 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Yes, a full dose of truth
11:50:29 From Katherine Augustine to Everyone:
Chris and Jodie - thank you for this information and detailed discussion… appreciate the truth
11:51:50 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
Just as capitalists use fascism to crush democracy, we must extinguish capitalism via socialism to vouchsafe democracy...
We know where the strongholds of fascism are: we seek to break the chains of capitalism at their weakest link: California!
11:52:14 From MARIA PATRICIA PRADO to Everyone:
what is the name of the book of Cris
11:52:45 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
What happens when we focus on what we want?
We know the history and how horrible people and our planet HAVE been treated.
We are living NOW, and can create a new reality when we focus upon it. When we want virtues and values to be expressed by others, how do people learn these? DO our schools educate for quality character? Does our society have a 200 year old Medical and Economic system creating good for all? What can replace it?
Research shows that when the least of us is uplifted/educated/healed, it VASTLY improves all others.
The Stoics had an expression: Acta non verba. Deeds not words.
11:53:00 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
We need university courses using the books and articles of Chris Hedges and Sy Hersh
11:53:18 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Great question Jim. Thank you for bringing up Empire dying and "diseases of despair" I LOVE Chris's astute and wise writing about porn, addiction, etc. Brilliant!
11:55:14 From Stan Pokras to Everyone:
On Amazon, a search for “Chris Hedges Books” returns the first 48 of 403 results!
11:56:53 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
CREATING VIRTUES and PREVENTING VIOLENCE. This program, ::http://LivingValues.net:: has over 90% reduction in violence in a Thai Refugee Camp within 2 years! The woman who developed it then went to Johannesburg, RSA and designed a program for street people - similar results!
It’s free, the Living Values Education Program: The first two Values instructed are LOVE and PEACE. All the other Values are generated from these. Thus affecting ALL life on our planet in every day.
Here's more on three quality character development programs: Character Inclusion for Regenerative Societies, Diane Tillman, Daniel Allen. ::https://youtu.be/08sYrYfNvnw:: a Humanity Rising Global Solutions Summit program produced by the Peace Lab.
“The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”
~ Abraham Lincoln ~
11:57:53 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Empire of Illusion is an extraordinary book! Front and center on one of many book shelves! Absolutely brilliant synopsis of the decay of US democracy. Highly recommend reading this!
11:58:11 From Meg Newhouse to Everyone:
What a breath of intelligent fresh air! I’m sorry I came on late and have to leave. I will get the recording and also read one of your many books, Chris. Thank you for your courage and values.
11:58:52 From Janice Hall to Everyone:
whether you like Marianne Williamson or RFK jr., they both have meaningful contributions to offer to make America think again --- and they will be shut out because they each tell unpopular truths
11:59:52 From Stan Pokras to Everyone:
Chris - I’m working on a method for restore civic dialog which I believe can help repair the lost public understanding of how people think. Please call me or write to me to see if you can agree with my thinking. Stan - 267-968-0407 stan@othernetworks.org
12:00:49 From Stan Pokras to Everyone:
Jodie - please call me too.
12:01:10 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
We need a Social Party
12:01:13 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Marianne and RFK Jr. are Very popular when they’re given a platform.
12:01:23 From Marilyn Schramm to Everyone:
Senate filibuster
12:01:36 From Janice Hall to Everyone:
Sadly Biden is just another corporate shill
12:01:44 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Jim, please invite Chris Hedges, Jody, and Media on again! ONLY the Truth shall set us free! THANK YOU!! BEYOND THE TELLING 🌹
12:01:58 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Utopia for Realists is essential reading for ‘others’ and therefore us. 🙂
12:02:24 From Stan Pokras to Everyone:
With Love...

We’ll post this notice several times…
=========================
12:02:54 From Janice Hall to Everyone:
It would be fabulous to get RFK jr. and Marianne Williamson on -- I bet we could do it!
12:03:01 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
Biden is as an effective antifascist as was Paul Von Hindenburg...
But the rise of fascism in the US drives us Californians to end our shotgun Anschluß with the US!
12:03:09 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Chris, if you could have everyone read ONE book for transformation of our governance, what is it?
12:03:23 From m monk to Everyone:
8
12:03:27 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
We need to create a real alternative to the two parties both of which are killing our democracy
12:04:10 From Barbro Esbjörnsdotter to Everyone:
Deborah, yes I think you do.
12:04:17 From m monk to Everyone:
the earth cannot support 8 billion humans and survive the way we want
12:05:01 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
We in our California foco predict that the US will suffer the same fate as the Soviet Union... ;-)
12:06:34 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
The demos did the same with Bernie.
12:07:08 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
Ralph Nader succeeded in depriving either party of a majority, resulting in the Supreme Court selecting a President... :'(
12:08:04 From Janet Asiain to Everyone:
+3.619.
12:08:39 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Trump voting is a rebellion of those who are really out of the social fabric
12:09:25 From Janice Hall to Everyone:
Biden has done a few good things for environment and women and Native Americans for instance--- but has not kept most of his promises as you said Chris --- but also as you say, he plays both sides against the middle and has pandered unceasingly to the corporatocracy (fossil fuel, pharma and the war machine)) We need to wake up as we are about to be downgraded yet again to vote for the lesser of 2 evils???
12:09:39 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Look what happened in Canada with the Truckers going to the Capital… 🙁
12:10:46 From Janet Asiain to Everyone:
Won't automation of work make trade unions obsolete? And maybe all of us too ---
12:10:55 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
All of California's staggering problems can be traced to our subjugation to capitalism by the US, hence our plurinational movement must be socialist in order to succeed: James Connolly's admonition applies here... and Upton Sinclair made strong inroads with his EPIC movement here... ;-)
12:11:35 From Janet Asiain to Everyone:
Repeating question about Canadian truckers -- can presenters see this chat?
12:11:50 From Kim Kerrigan to Everyone:
Yes! WE Must REBUILD all our labor movements. Yes, to understanding real power. We need NEW effective tools! Yes! Savant has done great work here in Seattle.
12:12:00 From Marilyn Schramm to Everyone:
lol. Americans can't get up off the couch to engage in mass strikes or demonstrations
12:12:08 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Yes they can Janet
12:12:23 From MARIA PATRICIA PRADO to Everyone:
In Brasil voting for the lesser evil has been the decision of the population for the last 2 elections...We have to go beyond politics.. right now we are seeing promises by Lula, left....being in uphold....
12:12:58 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
Our liberation will be via a general strike: there are as many Californians as there are Canadians, and we have as large an economy as does Germany!
12:13:01 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
And the anti war movement in the 1980s
12:13:07 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Joy Gilfilen is doing GREAT Restorative Justice work in N. Washington. Check her out
12:13:17 From Janice Hall to Everyone:
Yes! to disrupting the political system Chris! I absolutely agree.!
12:13:57 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
They’re still struck daily now in Israel because he didn’t end it, only temporarily paused it
12:14:05 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Strickibg
12:14:15 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Striking
12:14:18 From Marilyn Schramm to Everyone:
there was an anti-war movement in the 80's???
12:15:15 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Millions of anti-Cold War people like Jim Garrison and Jim Hickman and the whole movement
12:15:22 From Kurt Krueger, PeaceMakers Circles/Network to Everyone:
Questioning is a basis or Judaism.
12:15:47 From Dr. Carroy (Cuf) Ferguson to Everyone:
What’s missing for me in this discussion is the distinction between short-term and long-term strategies for change.
12:16:01 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Brazil and which other nation?
12:16:30 From Charry Stover to Everyone:
Such encyclopediac knowledge Chris. Thank you so very much for coming to talk to us.
12:17:22 From Barbro Esbjörnsdotter to Everyone:
Please post that tweet here again.
12:18:28 From Jodie Evans to Host and Panelists:

12:18:41 From brett barndt to Everyone:
This is the most powerful and real discussion ever
12:19:01 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
Watch what happens to the greenback once California launches its own currency!
I just talked with a local TikTok worker, we were definitely on the same page!
Here's a place where you can find out more about us...

12:20:12 From Stan Pokras to Matt Owen, Host and Panelists:
Thank you.
12:21:05 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
Chinese state media broadcaster CCTV reported about the call and said that Xi told Zelensky that China has “always stood on the side of peace”.
“On the issue of the Ukraine crisis, China has always stood on the side of peace and its core position is to promote peace talks,” CCTV reported Xi as saying during the phone call.
China also said that it will send a delegation to Ukraine for a “political settlement” of crisis.
12:21:38 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
12:22:14 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
The triumph of the Vietnamese over the US, the incredible courage of the Palestinian people...all of these inspire us!
12:22:29 From Kim Kerrigan to Host and Panelists:
Jim, please consider having Jody, Chris, and Media join us again for more training on all aspects of power. The complexity and nuances of how/where consciousness factors in. How do human use our best tools? "consciousness is cause"? And "Everything is better conscious." Preparation for serious decline, survival, reclaiming, and REBUILDING SANE DEMOCRACY. Thanks for considering this!
12:25:13 From Matt Owen to Everyone:
Yeltsin's sense of betrayal informed his giving the dedazo to Putin, no? A similar sense of betrayal has wrought significant changes in the Chinese Communist Party, a process which will intensify... ;-)
12:25:30 From MARIA PATRICIA PRADO to Everyone:
the narrative has to change urgently
12:25:43 From Kim Kerrigan to Host and Panelists:
Excellent presentation, urgent topics! Thank you all. If you are in Seattle, welcome to my bed and breakfast! An honor to host you as a gift! I cherish you all and your brilliant leadership and service! Thank you!
12:26:05 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
It reminds me of when old Russia fell and the Lenin group took over because it was disintegrating. Who, what is in place rise to take over with the stall of USA. Where is the organized Social Wellbeing revolutionary network of the furtive
12:26:12 From Deborah Perkins to Everyone:
