William Barr

Well, he’s showing his colors. Any hope that he was less than a partisan hack have evaporated.

As the March 22, 2019 post below stated, The world and history now fixes its gaze on him”



What a doozy. He’ll go down as another Sarah Huckabee Sanders: a morally vacuous henchman. A lying apologist and enabler of “President Trump.”

First, there was his brutally dismissive “summary”of the Mueller report that has let Trump trot around unscathed for weeks in a media bath of “total” exoneration, where there was not that. Then Barr backtracks and says his was not a summary? What is in the report?

Now he’s refusing to share the unredacted report with Congress. (Really? Why? WHY?)

And he throws out the word “spying” for the authorized investigatory process the DOJ and FBI were tasked to pursue. Spying he said! Complete click-bait and inappropriate, unnecessary sensationalism without context. He is creating and perpetuating bad cover stories for Trump. There is your Sarah Huckabee right there.

As Eric Holder said, When there is a predicate, a legitimate basis, it’s called “investigating” not “spying”.  I am confident that the people at DOJ/FBI conducted themselves in an appropriate way. No evidence to suggest otherwise.”

So thus far Barr is digging himself in as another entrenched flunky, rowing Trump’s misdeeds across the river Charon where daylight and the public cannot see them. (And why? WHY?)

You had better be representing reality and the interest of the American people Mr. Barr. The truth comes out.

Sunset, Venice 12/20/2012
I've been thinking some about the Winter Solstice, the Mayan end of the 30,000-year-cycle on 12/21/12.

What if in fact the world did end? Even though this probably will not happen, to live consciously it is honest for us to take a bit of an inventory.

Am I happy with how I've lived my life? (Yesterday, I thought mostly yes, with some areas for improvement, as below.) Are there changes I would make?
Would I have tried to forgive those that were hostile or disappointing to me?
Would I spend more time with those I loved the most, telling them that, feeling that more?
Would I be happier, grateful for what I have, what I've experienced, the joy, the beauty in this world?

Maybe the answer is yes to all of the above.
So this time can serve as a point of rebirth for all of us. If we think about it.

Because somewhere along the line I realized I think maybe mankind deserves it. !
The way we are killing each other, killing the planet.
How selfish we are, and snotty to those around us. Petty, competitive. Why is this? Do we have to behave this way? (I say no, it greatly detracts and misdirects energy from the full-time celebration in which we could engage, the great multi-cultural, multi-rhythmic dance we can sustain here.)

Maybe God or the Great Universe is fed up, and will pull the rug out from under us.
Don't think I can say we could blame Him/Her/It.

But it probably won't happen. (Probably not! This time.)

Still we are finite on this ride.

It is a time to think, am I happy with how I've lived my life?
Hopefully most of us can say yes.

For the part of us that have a little worry, a little sadness....
This is the time to be present.
This is the time to be the person you want to be, that can die at peace, that can hope to every day be able to look yourself and the Universe in the eye and say, how beautiful, smiling, and thank you. Let's do that.
