I feel like I'm losing my mind. It is literally impossible to believe what comes out of the mouth of our leader. Outright lies and denial of them, are hallmarks of propaganda and manipulation techniques for the masses according to Hannah Arendt.
I'm worried for our troops in Iraqi now that the "so-called" leader has again said we should "take" the Iraqi oil. One good thing is that the Iraqi prime minister announced today that East Mosul has been secured from ISIS and pictures of school children returning to class after two years were a joy to see.
In the same report on Rachel Maddow she spoke about how the Iraqi people were now sharing on social media reports that our new leader was going to "take their oil." What does that do to our troops who are helping Iraqi forces against ISIS? Essentially he proposing theft from an already bankrupt country. This is our foreign policy now? WHAT?? Madness.
The good thing I can think of is support; support of Iraqi citizens by American troops; support of each other as we face this crisis of insanity and alternative facts in our country; support from the amazing people I am connecting with in a time of need - knowing we are forging bonds that have real meaning.
Below is a piece forwarded to me today full of good advice about how to manage your mental health and welfare with this new world of activism:
