    The Reverend Frank Wulf, Pastor, Echo Park United Methodist Church, Los Angeles: Thoughts Provoked After Watching Bob Avakian Answer the Question: “Unfortunately, as a Democrat it has long been determined that you vote for the lesser of two evils, right? Either the Dems or the Republicans. But it has gotten to the point where both of them are just as worse—one is cancer and one is HIV. So you don’t want to vote for either one of them… I know the system sucks, but what are you supposed to do in the interim?” (Part 3 of Q&A session) * * * I never previously thought […]

This is the 21st century—a crucial time for human existence—yet we live in an Orwellian world and it affects all of us, all of human kind. We have to step it up and […]

  • Going from Conspiracy Theories and Religion …

    Going from Conspiracy Theories and Religion to Scientifically Understanding the REAL Problem that Humanity Faces Reading the section “Getting Clearer on the Need for Revolution—Breaking With Wrong Ideas and Illusions” in the Science and Revolution book made me think about the brief period of time when I was into conspiracy theories (the Illuminati). I would watch videos on YouTube about how the government was conspiring to do things. This crazy theory of lizard people living under the White House. Even without thinking scientifically, some of these theories seemed kind of stupid and unrealistic. Not getting to the REAL problem that humanity faces. […]
