    Agree. Totally. I have spent many, many hours with loved ones who were relegated to nursing homes. During one stay where my wife was staying I decided to write a poem:

    A Vast Sea of Stars 6.14.2018 / (a true story)

    Death came by while you were asleep
    He paused at your room where another slept
    Yet tarried not there and continued on

    Death came by while you were asleep
    Hindered not by the bustle of caregivers' feet
    His silence a roar drowning out all sound

    Death came by while you were asleep
    Unseen by all till he found his appointed
    Who welcomed him gladly with open arms

    Death came by while you were asleep
    Dozens of pink flamingos stood silent witness
    as a thin man dressed in black
    Transferred a shroud into his van nearby
    where a fountain played

    Death came by while you were asleep
    And later as the golems and shriekers of night
    stood in line for their meds
    A demented man in a wheelchair counted his fingers

    Death came by while you were asleep
    He's piloting a ship through a vast sea of stars
    Ferrying souls to their next destination

    6/14/2018

    I've seen, heard, and yes, smelled the ecosystem of death of many well intentioned nursing homes... don't let your loved ones go there unless it's the absolute last option.

    I agree that we are badly in want of strong leaders who are for Peace. The main problem that I see is that some of the countries that are currently making war, is that they posses atom bombs.

    Another problem is that institutions like ONU who exist to prevent and intervene in conflicts between countries seem to be losing power and authority in a moment when they are most needed.

    The Russians are trying to take the money out of war right now. We will have to see how they do.

    I have seen similar comments about New York Banks and Hitler before, but found that J.P. Morgan and Company did not do business with Hitle after some point in the late '30'sr and closed their Paris branch. The NAZI's seized the bank building and everything left and ran the branched un the Morgan name, but that was in name only, and I believe the same was true of Chase. I wonder about the Bolsheviks.

    Want to prevent war?

    Easy: take all profit out of war and we shall have Peace.

    Read Professor Antony Sutton's books:
    Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler & Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution


    Both are superbly well documented and reveal how wealthy elites (mostly Republican) profit from war.

    "We don't have Churchill available, but we should look for people who would follow his lead."... Agreed.
