>> Killing Joke’s longevity is down to our understanding of the ancestry

>> We reverse the order practiced by the western mystery tradition which

>> They are all alive and when we think of them with love in our hearts they

>> And, as Youth notes:

>> *“When we come together, the weight of our ancestors comes through and

>> Anyway last time I looked on the internet I found it utterly homogenised.

>>
>> As for geopolitics, the US election result will create even more division
>> as it is designed to do. The US will be broken into several separate
>> entities eventually (after civil war and economic collapse). These are:
>>
>>    - *The California Republic* which by nature of its demographics will
>>    come under Chinese influence.
>>    - *Central North American Union* will come under Canadian influence.
>>    - *Texas* will come under Mexican influence.
>>    - It is uncertain to whom the *Atlantic Union* will align itself to.
>>
>>
>> Nevertheless, that the US will be divided along ethnic lines is without
>> question. This election marks the beginning of the planned break up of the
>> United States of America.
>>
>> This cigar is tasting beautiful. I am surrounded by spirits. There is a
>> Russian Blue cat purring on my knees.
>>
>> I think of all of you out there – I am with you all.
