Thanks Paolo for this fascinating post. There is a lot to think about here. What would you think the next development would be?

These days as I watch the riots I regret the violence but i am thankful that there is still a student movement of folks who have not yet been tamed and are ready to stick their neck out Terrible as it is, it is good that people are expressing dissent, kickin a fuss Three people I'd like to mention in this reflection, Stella Assange who now has a youtube channel (maybe she has had this channel for a long time?) She is calling for presence, support for the next few week. Stay strong, Julian and Stella She makes the point briefly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZfegunKJhs&ab_channel=StellaAssange please share Is anyone working with Joe Biden on this list by any chance? stop the unlawful request for extradition I guess is the bottom line in this case, Josh Paul, Former Director at US Dept of State, who resigned over recent arms deals. He is brave https://www.linkedin.com/in/josh-paul-655a25263/ And Boeing whistleblowers, Barnett who was murdered before the court deposition and now another Joshua Dean otherwise healthy guy if it weren't for whistleblowing . uhm https://fortune.com/2024/05/02/boeing-whistleblower-dead-joshua-dean-45-sudden-severe-infection/ Somehow it is becoming clear to me of these situations are somehow connected in a complex systems sort of way by widespread deceit and systemic deviation. It is becoming increasingly dangerous to say things I pause for a moment of silence and reflection honoring these people, and everyone standing up for trut and greet everyone
