April 6, 2025: Protests Galore: Hundreds of Thousands Turn Out Around the Country*
On Saturday, there were more than 1300 “Hands Off!” protests held
around the country, in cities and towns big and small. In addition to the huge turnout, many protesters reported lots of honks of support from passing motorists, which fueled the excitement of the crowds. Many signs were quite creative, as were the pictures and paintings of trump that people mailed to Michael Moore after he suggested a contest.* Meanwhile, "Patrice Mersault" wrote a piece called “A Practical Guide To Resist Authoritarianism.” Filled with lots of wise advice, Matthew recommends
that you read the full article HERE.** |

current occupant of the White House to a “Mad King.” Photo by team member Cynthia

April 7, 2025: Simplistic Pollsters Asking about Impeaching Justice Roberts
Recently Matthew was asked by a Democratic pollster if he agreed with the MAGA
crowd that Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached for criticizing the White House occupant for calling for impeachments of judges who disagree with him. Matthew instead gave a more complete list of the many reasons why Roberts should be impeached. Among them: 1) The Citizens United decision which opened the doors for billionaires taking over our country. 2) His destruction of voting rights laws. 3) Overturning Roe v Wade. 4) Giving unprecedented power to the president by granting
him immunity for crimes committed while president. 5) His deliberate delaying of the decision on whether a presidential candidate already convicted of 34 felonies should be held accountable for other crimes such as the attempted coup on January 6 and the theft of hundreds of classified documents. April 8, 2025: What Is Driving Elon Musk (& co-president Donald Trump)?
An article recently published in the New York Times, titled “The Failed Ideas That Drive Elon Musk,” was written by Jill Lepore, professor of history and law at Harvard and staff writer for the New Yorker.**** She believes Musk gets most of
his ideas from his grandfather, Joshua Haldeman, who was a “flamboyant leader of the political movement known as technocracy.” This movement sought to replace democratically elected officials and civil servants—indeed all of government—with an army of scientists and engineers under what they called a "technate." The movement declared that “popular voting can be largely dispensed with” as well as the notion that “all men are created free and equal.” He was the national
chairman of the antisemitic Social Credit Party. Says Lepore, “Much that Mr. Musk has attempted to do at DOGE can be found in the technocracy manuals of the early 1930’s.” |
Elon Musk’s grandfather Joshua Haldeman was a tech-utopian, politician and fan of apartheid.

April 9, 2025: The Ideology Behind Musk, DOGE & “Death Sentence for Millions”
Yesterday we explored the influence of Musk’s grandfather on Musk’s life and
beliefs. Today we look at the philosophy of venture capitalist Marc Andressen, who has been active in staffing Musk’s DOGE project in Washington. Among the things he wrote in a manifesto in 2023 was "We believe in greatness….We believe in ambition, aggression persistence, relentlessness—strength." One of Andressen’s mentors was Filippo Tommaso Marinetti who wrote “The Futurist Manifesto” in 1909, which “glorified violence and masculine virility and opposed liberalism and
democracy.” Part of its credo was: We want to exalt movements of aggression… the double march… the slap and the blow with the fist… We want to sing the men at the wheel…We want to demolish museums and libraries, fight morality, feminism…. Ten years later, Marinetti co-wrote “The Fascist Manifesto,” the “founding document” of Mussolini’s party. April 10, 2025: The Moral Stench from the Trump/Musk Regime Spreads
Most of us feel the darkness of the current Trump/Musk regime spreading
over the planet like a poisonous fog. It is not unlike Hildegard’s painting of Satan with “poisoned arrows in his mouth” who sends a “very evil flame” and “poison” into the four corners of the universe. The moral stench has included abandoning Ukraine, giving Israel a blank check to continue to massacre the people of Gaza, rounding up people and sending them to a notorious prison in El Salvador, the explosion of tariffs, etc. Also, with the elimination of USAID, programs such as UN World Food
Program, Save the Children, and the UN Population Fund are being terminated. The latter provided food and health services at a refugee camp in Syria. |
“The Mystical Body Taming the Devil.” Hildegard of Bingen, Scivias |
April 12, 2025: The Good News in Hildegard’s Paintings of Evil
The good news in Hildegard’s painting of Satan is this: In the same painting in which she paints Satan with his
“poisonous arrows in his mouth,” she also paints him bound up in chains and being kept down by good people “trampling the same serpent strongly underfoot” who are not affected by “his flames or by his poison.” She calls them “people of God” who are “strong enough to resist being befouled by the devil’s attack.…Living justly, they grasp holiness.” Hildegard warns us that the fires, poisons and plagues of the demonic one find a special place in the marketplace. Everything is for
sale “because the devil deceitfully offers his crafts to the people. And those who desire them, purchase them.” How vividly Hildegard paints and preaches about the power of Evil. |

An introduction to the life and work of Hildegard of Bingen, Illuminations reveals the life and teachings of one of the greatest female artists

Sins of the Spirit, Blessings of the Flesh: Transforming Evil in Soul and Society
Visionary theologian and best-selling
author Matthew Fox offers a new theology of evil that fundamentally changes the traditional perception of good and evil and points the way to a more enlightened treatment of ourselves, one another, and all of nature. In comparing the Eastern tradition of the 7 chakras to the Western tradition of the 7 capital sins, Fox allows us to think creatively about our capacity for personal and institutional evil and what we can do about them.
“A scholarly masterpiece embodying a better vision and depth of perception far beyond the grasp of any one single science. A breath-taking analysis.” — Diarmuid O’Murchu, author of Quantum Theology: Spiritual Implications of the New Physics |

The Hidden Spirituality of Men: Ten Metaphors to Awaken the Sacred Masculine
To awaken what Fox calls “the sacred masculine,” he unearths ten metaphors,
or archetypes, ranging from the Green Man, an ancient pagan symbol of our fundamental relationship with nature, to the Spiritual Warrior….These timeless archetypes can inspire men to pursue their higher calling to connect to their deepest selves and to reinvent the world.
“Every man on this planet should read this book — not to mention every woman who wants to understand the struggles, often unconscious, that
shape the men they know.” — Rabbi Michael Lerner, author of The Left Hand of God |
