San Miguel Thoughts

In San Miguel de Allende, there are very narrow city streets and none of the intersections are monitored. No stop signs, traffic signals, police directing traffic, nothing. Just the drivers and pedestrians watching out for each other. They take turns, they make sure that children cross safely and even wave old American visitors through. 

It was striking that in the Cities, people seem so much more aggressive and less willing to accommodate another car needing to merge. The other striking thing was that rarely was there a child who wasn’t holding the hand of a parent or grandparent. The children are taken care of and doted upon. Clearly, children are loved and an important part of the family structure. Police are careful to protect and watch out for children to make sure they’re safe. That’s a far cry from the governmental occupation forces in Minnesota. They use children as “bait” to lure parents out of the home and then take them in unmarked vehicles to undisclosed locations. 

Kindness and taking turns doesn’t hurt anyone. And yet I cannot abide with terroristic occupation. The “jack-booted thugs” do not possess decency, compassion, or empathy. These are skills in the Age of the Heart that the members of the cult do not, and cannot, possess. We are on the right side of history and I do believe that goodness can win, but our work isn’t finished. The Orange Cult believes that cruelty is the point and the trump (bad pun intended) card to decency and humanity is to be as inhumane as possible. Liam, and the “government” demanding his extradition and trafficking back to a country he’s never been sums up their entirety. And soul.
