I think I do know the situation and doesn't look at all good. I'm not a quitter though and I won't say it's lost until it proves itself to be so beyond question.
Thankfully my happiness doesn't lie in external circumstances and none that arise will prevent me from practicing the pure Dharma the way I see fit or voicing my opinion about governments or popular opinions. Socialist, Marxist communist leftism is evil and antithetical to life, period! If anyone doesn't like that they can shoot me. Or try to. : )
It will be messy.

But the controllers have means to neutralize whole cities—multiple means from electronic to chemical to nuclear to other types entirely.
They do NOT CARE about loss of life—they EVEN MAKE GREAT LOSS OF LIFE A CHERISHED GOAL—for the environment . . . etc.
