We are devastated in Portland, consulting one another about the best ways to peacefully push back. Oregon's governor and Portland's mayor led a peaceful protest over the weekend. Portland is the City of Roses, not the City of War!

On the news, they showed an interfaith protest at the ice facility in Portland with everyone walking slowly and holding flowers. Overwhelm them with kindness and flowers and singing and cookies and everything you can think of that is kind and sweet and beautiful. Remember, the entire country, even the world is watching. It was Martin Luther King‘s power that he kept the civil rights movement nonviolent. That is what awakened the conscience of the nation.

Also remember that it isn’t the fault of the soldiers that they are there. Many don’t want to be. So demonstrate, but demonstrate with love . Do not let the country see you triggered or angry. That will work against you, and it will work against the rest of us as well. Refuse to play their game. Show up with flowers and music and kindness and love. Bring Roses!!

Picnics and dance parties! Let's feed people and celebrate being alive. While wearing our protest t-shirts. I'm not in Portland, but what I am seeing of your protests on social media, highlighting your joy and calm is AWESOME! Keep going. Force the hilarity of their own perspective on them.

Democrats think they can destroy cities and terrorize taxpayers while supplying drug addicts and revolutionaries.

The democrats have been playing with revolution. They are itching for war like they did in the 1800’s. Democrats should look towards history. Lincoln didn’t give a damn about their freedoms. He took over the south anyways. State rights be damned.

Attacking ICE personnel and facilities IS a crime. Daily incitements to distract and polarize your readers is beneath you. Or, I thought it was.

HOWARD ZINN ON CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

“Civil disobedience is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. Our problem is that people all over the world have obeyed the dictates of leaders…and millions have been killed because of this obedience…Our problem is that people are obedient allover the world in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves… (and) the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.”

Matt Damon from Howard Zinn's speech: The Problem is Civil Obedience 5:05 min

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison says AI will be able to detect cancer; develop mRNA vaccine therapies 1:34 min

https://rumble.com/v6c3m6m-oracle-ceo-larry-ellison-says-ai-will-be-able-to-detect-cancer-develop-mrna.html

¨Larry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle and Chairman of the Board and Chief Technology Officer, envisions a future where artificial intelligence (“AI”) systems monitor citizens extensively through a network of cameras and drones.

Ellison shared his vision during the ‘Oracle Financial Analyst Meeting 2024’ in an investor Q&A session, highlighting the potential benefits of AI-driven supervision.

He said AI will usher in a new era of surveillance that he gleefully said will ensure “citizens will be on their best behaviour because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on.”

This widespread surveillance will infringe on personal freedoms, creating a surveillance state. But it’s not only citizens he wants AI to oversee. He also envisions that AI will monitor law enforcement. “We’re going to have supervision. Every police officer’s going to be supervised at all times,” he said.

Ellison’s vision highlights a growing trend among tech companies to use AI for societal influence, which could reshape public life in the coming years.¨

Technocracy News - Patrick Wood

The Stargate Is Open: Enter The Sand Gods

¨Forget the WHO. That's so old school. Enter Stargate and the Made-In-The-USA version of science-based medical dictatorship. If Larry Ellison's AI gives you an "ironclad" diagnosis of, say, CANCER and makes a special mRNA/DNA vaccine for you, the machine will roll up your sleeve and ram the needle into your arm. There will be no second opinion. There will be no appeal. There will be no exemption. Don't even think about what will happen to you if you refuse.¨

Saying No to Digital IDs - This is George Orwell’s 1984!

There's a better way, where you remain in healthy control.

World Council for Health - Aug 19, 2025

They Rob You Of Your Privacy

¨Digital IDs are being sold as a safer way to prove who you are. In practice, they can be used to track, log, and profile your activities across multiple domains—online and offline. Consider that:

Every time you use a digital ID, it could leave a data trail.

This information might be shared across agencies, companies, and borders, often without clear consent.

Saudi Arabia’s digital ID app ‘Absher’ has over 20 million users and offers access to a rising number of public services. The app also allows men to receive notifications if a woman under their guardianship passes through an airport. From the convenience of his phone, a man can withdraw a woman’s right to travel. Human rights organisations raised the alarm over this over six years ago, and Apple looked into it. To this day, the app has not been changed and it is still available to download on the Apple Store...¨ Read More

Coming soon to a country near you. This is very bad and dangerous. Please watch the 3 minutes video also.

Here is an advert for Digital IDs by Thales, the weapons manufacturer, from a few years ago.

Digital IDs Will Reduce Britons to a QR Code

We don't have to be "hackable animals", we have a choice. All it requires is self-control and courage.

Tess Lawrie, MBBCh, PhD​ - Sep 28, 2025

¨I enjoyed speaking in Scotland last week at the Let Food Be Thy Medicine conference organised by The Good Food Project. In one of my talks, among other issues, I highlighted that Digital IDs were looming. The following day, British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, made his unwelcome announcement that digital IDs are soon to be implemented in the UK. This statement comes after the EU announced that a new biometric data system is to be introduced at European airports in October...¨

Thank you for reporting the TRUTH, Marianne, a rare commodity these days, and for your inspiration.

We shall overcome...with LOVE, however difficult that may be.

PS Seeing rants against freedom in these comments is disturbing - seems there's no safe space.

Trump sending troops into American cities and calling it “protecting freedom” is like an arsonist showing up to your house with a bucket of gasoline and saying he’s here to help you put the fire out.

This isn’t patriotism. It’s cosplay Caesarism. And if people don’t show up, peacefully and massively, on October 18, we’re handing them the script they’re dying to act out.

Blessed be the ones who see the empire creeping in wearing camo and still show up with signs, songs, and stubborn hope.

Where the soldiers are deployed, local businesses dependent upon walk-in customers suffer. People stock up and stay home, order out, to stay away from where the military are loitering. Yes, I'm calling it loitering because there is no task to perform in these cities. This is all to cater to Trumps delusions brought on by his dementia instead of facing facts and removing him as being unfit to serve in that or in any other position.

Hey Marianne, thank you for all your work. I have an idea about the 10/18 protests. Why don't we organize picnics and dance parties that day? We can wear our protest t-shirts, but then gather in joy and community connection with our neighbors. Are Trump's boogeymen really going to arrest people picnicking and dancing? If so, let him. Those are optics that will shatter something.

Any country that is use force against its own people to stay in power has lost the moral authority to lead. Trump must be removed from office now.
