Stephan: As I have told you over and over, one of the things that stands out for me as I survey the media every day, are the constant arrests and indictments of Republican politicians, former politicians, and close-in minions. I am amazed that some journalist in mainstream media hasn't picked this up and assembled a list of all these people. The corruption of American Republican politicians is astonishing, starting at the top with criminal Trump. What also has become clear to me is that in the U.S. there are two standards of law. If you are an ordinary person and break a law you get arrested, tried, and sent to prison. In contrast, if you are rich enough, or hold a high enough office you usually, not always as in this case, for instance, but usually you get away with it.

“It was the purpose of the conspiracy for the defendants to unlawfully enrich themselves by engaging in political activities in the United States on behalf of the government of Venezuela, and by representing the interests of the government […]

I believe the blue wave that brought victory to the liberals was a major step the change that’s occurring. But it’s not just right and left that are troubling. To me one of the biggest challenges we face are the differences in generational mindsets. The roar, the chest pounding of the Boomers has become a whimper in relation to change and the upcoming youngers who have a deeper, stronger understanding. What I found inspirational in these last elections was the numbers of younger people who voted. Especially after the period of young people who were not voting!

Money, being financially rich has become the Holy Grail. The field of power. The only thing that can truly change that is the energy of collective consciousness that us focused on shared well being.
