Altered States of America's avatar

I read this with great interest because I also have great respect for Charles as a person and a philosopher and have also wondered about his evading all those elephants stinking up the room. I writing as someone who has studied the political assassinations of the 60's, was in New York city on the morning of 9/11, and was burned out of my home in the Santa Cruz mountains after the chem trail sparked fires of 2020. I am also acutely aware that a great deal of this modern, media driven psychedelic renaissance is an operation of social engineers. I'm called a conspiracy theorist frequently, and deliberately by those threatened by what I say. We all know that this term 'conspiracy theorist," is a linguistic weapon aimed at those of us who question mainstream narratives. A very effective weapon. I'm with you Josh, time to push back and defuse it. I also think that is not everyone's job. I've been glad to get to know Charles when I still lived in the conquered states of america. He is not one of those many who wields that weapon. He side steps it. Thinking now of that Zen saying: "When you meet a master swordsman, show him your sword. When you meet a man who is not a poet, do not show him your poem." While I have also challenged our friend on his seeming allergy to conspiracy theories, I also appreciate his own style of bringing injustice to light and inspiring a better world...
