ASTERIX & OBELIX - A VILLAGE RESISTS

Nov 26, 2022

Will there still be such a thing in the real world? Real resistance? A place or maybe even places that don't play the sick game of the Romans or in our case the WEF?

“The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.” — H. G. Wells

For those who do not know the story of Asterix & Obelix. Here is a video. I think it’s aways good to add some fun stuff!

Minute 2.13 - 4.44 of the video is the essence of the story! But don’t hesitate to watch the whole film, it’s quite entertaining.

The Gauls had a magic potion to defend themselves against the Romans. We don't have a magic potion that makes us strong, but we have enlightened and awake people who don't stop fighting for what is right and good. These people risk literally everything to help bring the truth to light. I am in awe of each and everyone of these brave people. Sometimes all it takes is a small village or a minority that permanently resists, that is not willing to submit, and that fights for the freedom of all.

“If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.” — George Washington

I will never forget a shop assistant in Munich. I was once again on one of the "walks" in Munich - demonstrations were forbidden at the time - and it was recommended that you buy something so that, in case you were detained or questioned by the police, you could prove that you had a legitimate reason for being in the city (which is a disgrace in itself).
So I went into a shop to buy something and the "walkers" were not to be ignored, making a lot of noise. When I got to the checkout the shop assistant started complaining to me about the noise these "stupid idiots" were making out there.
I was horrified. I put my purchase down, looked at the young woman, and said goodbye with the words, "Those stupid idiots out there are fighting for YOUR freedom, you should be grateful."
She looked at me rather puzzled as I just turned and left. I don't believe I had any impact on this woman, rather I was lumped into the "stupid idiot" category. But maybe she did think about it a little (I am and remain an optimist).

Thank you for reading Change & Evolve Letter. This post is public so feel free to share it.

I most certainly don't have to and don't want to missionise anyone. What I would like to do, however, is to encourage people to think, just think for themselves again. You don’t even have to take to the streets but there are always ways to support the truth and our freedom.

If you don't like what I write, that's absolutely ok, just unsubscribe from the newsletter and I won't appear again in your email inbox with my views. But to hide behind anonymous hate mails is pathetic. I will not publish the latest works of my "fan" here (I am guessing it is the same one as before) because I don't want to offer a platform to trolls - once was enough.

“Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.” — Robert Kennedy

If we don’t resist, if we don’t use our voices, we can start looking forward to a world that the brilliant cartoonist Bob Moran shows us so vividly here…

📚My Poem of the Day

Is by Audre Lorde (1934–1992)

A Litany for Survival

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

For those of us who live at the shoreline
standing upon the constant edges of decision
crucial and alone
for those of us who cannot indulge
the passing dreams of choice
who love in doorways coming and going
in the hours between dawns
looking inward and outward
at once before and after
seeking a now that can breed
futures
like bread in our children’s mouths
so their dreams will not reflect
the death of ours;
 
For those of us
who were imprinted with fear
like a faint line in the center of our foreheads
learning to be afraid with our mother’s milk
for by this weapon
this illusion of some safety to be found
the heavy-footed hoped to silence us
For all of us
this instant and this triumph
We were never meant to survive.
 
And when the sun rises we are afraid
it might not remain
when the sun sets we are afraid
it might not rise in the morning
when our stomachs are full we are afraid
of indigestion
when our stomachs are empty we are afraid
we may never eat again
when we are loved we are afraid
love will vanish
when we are alone we are afraid
love will never return
and when we speak we are afraid
our words will not be heard
nor welcomed
but when we are silent
we are still afraid
 
So it is better to speak
remembering
we were never meant to survive.
