Submitted by Steven D on Sat, 12/14/2019 - 1:44pm

You might think that because numerous governments and the media are ignoring the severity of our climate crisis, that people around the world would also be ignorant of the looming catastrophe for human life on this planet.

The realization that no one is willing to take the measures necessary to, at best. ameliorate the coming collapse of human civilization has resulted in many people suffering severe anxiety and depression, and fueling a mental health crisis that will only get worse.

I found this e-mail very inspiring:

If you haven’t read the “Afghanistan Papers” investigation published by The Washington Post this week, I recommend you do.  It exposes the betrayal and failed leadership of successive administrations. And points to the urgent need for a commander-in-chief who has the necessary experience, understanding, and foresight to bring about a sea change in our foreign policy.

catching up on Evo and Bolivia

…mainly by Tweet, because: images and captions, not always text.  Oddly, Mission Verdad English on Twitter hasn’t posted since Dec.6.

You’ll remember that Evo had gone to Cuba to attend to some medical issues on Dec. 7, and was quoted as saying that it was only a temporary visit.  El Pais had reported that Cuba was not Morales’ final destination. They claimed the politician is looking forward to settling down in Argentina once the nation’s newly elected President Alberto Fernandez is sworn into office next Tuesday.
