A Step ahead of your opposition...

The next president of the United States, on his/her shoulders will rest burdens heavier than it rested on Ronald Reagan, Kennedy or Lincoln: War and PEACE with Russia, China, North Korea and Iran; the continued economic and technological progress of this country; the security of our people both from external and internal enemies; the better education of our children; jobs for men and women who want to work; the development of our resources in an environmentally sound way; and a great feeling of what a civilized nation is without the continued threat of barbarians at our gates. Stop the fear campaign, everywhere these neo dictators in Latin America spring up and want to cease democratic societies.

Seven years ago today, white supremacist and Neo Nazi groups from around the country were so thrilled by the election of President Donald Trump and the surge in white nationalist ideology that fueled his rise, that they decided to get together to march menacingly with KKK-inspired torches while chanting Trump’s name triumphantly alongside other vile, antisemitic chants. One unexpected horror from that deadly day was watching friends-of-friends in my network react to this celebration of hate by posting about how much they agreed with the white supremacists that the defenders of slavery were heroes, and also how much they hated liberals. What would compel someone, in the face of obvious evil and a murderous rampage, to publicly stand against the near universal condemnation of these bigots? Most anti-racist activists reasonably concluded that only bigotry could compel these individuals to do that. But that’s not the whole picture. I think the reasoning of these individuals was quite simple. These individuals were loyal Republican Party supporters, and they correctly saw this event as something that would certainly sway people away from supporting Trump or the Republican Party. So, naturally, they had to react in two ways: first, by being extra committed to not letting this horrific day change their own partisan beliefs and preferences, and second, by signaling to other partisans that they can all get through this challenging time by wallowing in their favorite partisan grievances about liberals and culture wars until they willfully forget that any of these upsetting things ever happened. When successful, this approach allows anyone to easily continue their uncritical, blind loyalty to a politician who would otherwise disgust them.

OPTIC in Italy 🇮🇹 We're honored to share that our president was recently interviewed by @SRGSSR (Radiotelevisione svizzera), where we had the opportunity to discuss the Catholic Church’s vision for the future. The Church is not focused on the past but rather looks ahead to the future of humanity, exploring how technology can play a role in improving it. Through the work of OPTIC, using technology for the good and a more ethical, responsible future for all. https://lnkd.in/eHRRHxEK

**The Power of Accountability: "The Blame You Cast Weakens You"** I recently came across a quote that resonated with me: **"The blame you cast weakens you."** This simple yet profound statement carries a powerful message about personal growth and leadership. **Understanding the Quote** Blaming others is an easy way out when we face challenges or when things don't go as planned. It's a defense mechanism that protects our ego. However, the act of blaming not only hinders our personal growth but also weakens our character. It prevents us from looking inward, understanding our mistakes, and learning from them. **The Power of Accountability** On the contrary, taking responsibility for our actions empowers us. It fosters self-improvement, resilience, and integrity. When we stop casting blame and start owning our decisions, we become stronger. We become leaders who inspire trust and respect. **Transforming Blame into Growth** So, how do we turn the table? Start by acknowledging your role in the situation. Understand the choices you made and why you made them. Use these insights as a steppingstone towards improvement. Remember, every mistake is a learning opportunity. **The Way Forward** As we navigate through our professional journey, let's remember that the blame we cast weakens us, but the responsibility we take empowers us. Let's strive to create a culture of accountability, where we learn from our mistakes and grow together. #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #Accountability

Equity is the closest any human system of justice can come to divine justice. If we can achieve Equity, God will sort out the difference. The Bill of Rights and the Uniform Code of Miiitary Justice are both anchored by EQUiTY. The standard for Equity to which the Sergeant Major refers is a stoic dimension established by the Roman Legions by a Roman general, Titus Manlius Imperiosus Torquatus who executed his son for disobedience. This is a Wikipedia summary of the event: >>>>During the conduct of the war, Manlius and his co-consul, Publius Decius Mus, decided that the old military discipline would be reinstated, and no man was allowed to leave his post, under penalty of death. Manlius's son, seeing an opportunity for glory, forgot this stricture, left his post with his friends, and defeated several Latin skirmishers in battle. He brought the spoils back to his father, who publicly berated him for disobedience and had him executed. "Manlian discipline" afterwards became an expression for merciless upholding of rules<<<< (Wikipediea https://lnkd.in/e6t884wk) Now, as I say, this standard of EQUITY is the anchor of both the civilian rule of law and the military justice system, Socretes submitted himself to the Athenian secular rule of law as an object lesson in the essential basis of democracy. Jesus submitted Himself to both the Law of Moses and to the Roman rule of law as an endorement and validation of Socretes example. In this respect, the Declaration of Indepences is anchored by 6 Ideals of Democratic Socialism to replace the Magna Carta of Tory Socialism:'s Life Liberty and Property/ John Locke identifies. Thos 6 Ideals are: Life Liberty, Fraternity, Equaulity, EQUITY, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The 6 white stripes of Old Glory symbolize those Ideals. The 6 red stripes are the blood of the Patriots at Yorktown who sanctified those Ideals. The 2nd Amendment represents the Constitutional boundary between the Bill of Rights and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The "well regulated militia' claused in the 2nd Amendment refers specividally to thie Ideal of EQUITY of the Miitary Justice System. It has nothing to do with private gun ownership. Furthermore, the EQUITY ideal is what is expressed by the E in Mark Cuban's DEI/ZenBusiness Model, Prject 2025 is opposed to EQUITY as it may apply to white supremaicests. The concept of EQUITY in this regards has obviously never occurred to Trump. J.D. Vance was a Marine, so it’s hard to know wht he believes. The military has been a DEI instituion since Truman integrated the federal government.

The Polish Constitution of 3 May 1791, which combined a monarchic republic with a clear division of executive, legislative, and judicial powers, is generally considered Europe's first and the world's second modern written national constitution, after the United States. Just like the American Constitution, the Polish Constitution of May 3, 1791 became a milestone in the development of democratic ideals in the western world. At the end of the 18th century, America and Poland became the only two democratic countries in the world of absolute monarchies.

The short seller Hindenburg very much like the infamous, bomb carrying Hindenburg Zeppelin airship is all out to bomb our markets and crash the economy. And like another Nazi of bygone era - Goebbels, the present day short seller, Hindenburg prevaricates, lies again and again on Indian companies and individuals to transform his lie into a truth and crash the markets. And in this game of his, sinister forces from abroad and some Indian politicians at home are in complete sync.
