<div> Good morning Liberation Techies</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I appreciate the opportunity to dialogue, and hope it is okay to share a few thoughts I am having this sunday morning, while watching the news</div>
<div>about riots on campuses worldwide</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just a few weeks ago, catching up with an old friend now in florida as a teaching professor I was saying yes, being in the US is good but.. it looks to me that the country may be on the verge of some civil uprising.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> These days as I watch the riots I regret the violence but i am thankful that there is still a student movement of folks</div>
<div>who have not yet been tamed and are ready to stick their neck out</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Terrible as it is, it is good that people are expressing dissent, kickin a fuss<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>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?)<br>
</div>
<div>She is calling for presence, support for the next few week. Stay strong, Julian and Stella</div>
<div>She makes the point briefly <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZfegunKJhs&ab_channel=StellaAssange">

<div><i>please share</i><br>
</div>
<div>Is anyone working with Joe Biden on this list by any chance? stop the unlawful request for extradition I guess is the bottom line</div>
<div>in this case, <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Josh Paul, Former Director at US Dept of State, who resigned over recent arms deals. He is brave</div>

<div>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<br>
</div>

<div>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<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I pause for a moment of silence and reflection honoring these people, and everyone standing up for trut</div>
<div>and greet everyone<br>
