"The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes." - Benjamin Disraeli
Disraeli and little ol’ Cassandra! I like it...
I am an old broad who has seen history repeat itself constantly in my lifetime. Destructive events appear to be ramping up with different faces, but same intentions. I used to take things at face value and assume good intentions. That attitude has not served me well. Now I am a pathological skeptic. Disraeli knew. I believe him.
