Powerful People must Speak Truth to Power.

[usonian]

I had a great afternoon walking and grabbing some photos of Indian Warrior(1)/Warrior's Plume(2) flowers


and after cropping and touching up a tad,
here comes DU with tales from the crypt.



I am no snowflake, but the tough part is that the bullshit is, in the big picture, unchallenged.

There are fantastic people speaking truth to power

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaking_truth_to_power, and I list the most visible ones here.

In fact, SO MANY GOVERNORS that I provide a link to the Democratic Governors Association.

And others.

BUT WHO HAS THE BULLY BULLHORN TO COUNTER THE BULLSHIT?
Our most experienced leaders are silent.

Here's the truth.

A lot of damn lies and threats are being made.
Most are empty, but are simply demands for bribes/tribute/extortion to be paid to the emperor.

Who is ringing that very truthful bell 24 by 7, so that ALL CAN HEAR IT?

I leave it to "someone" to lead.
We need someone who can

• Unify
• Organize in a focused and concerted way, and
• Inspire

Right now, we are
• Separate
• All trying to do something on our own, with the occasional great list of group activities

Thank goodness, someone created and posted this! and
• Reading (and posting) headlines scarier than Doctor Strangelove, with no full page ads calling out the extortion racket.

Admittedly, media are too chickenshit to even take money for the ads.
This is the age of the coward.
