Is our search for God too narrow? Why do some philosophers espouse ‘pantheism’? Pantheism’s claim is not shy: God is the Cosmos and the Cosmos is God. But does re-naming all-that-exists ‘God’ add understanding? Can the new name make the world ‘sacred’? What is gained, and what is lost, if a theist becomes a pantheist?

What makes one a person or a self? If he or she sees, hears, thinks and feels, is that a person or a self? How can separate perceptions bind together into a coherent mental unity of a single person or self? And how does personhood or self persist through time? If persons are all material, what enables the continuity? Is there a ‘carrier’ of personal identity?

Why do people believe the things they do? We like to think that we are rational, that what we believe is true. But often we come to our beliefs, unknowingly, as a product of our particular ‘belief systems’. How do belief systems work their credulous magic? What principles enable belief systems to influence individuals and commandeer groups?

Arguments about God, whether based on science, philosophy, theology or personal experience are always fascinating. Those arguments should push and be pushed in order to consider the possible existence of a Creator. We must also consider defeaters of God. For all arguments for and against God, we should explore their assumptions, logic and boundaries.

,1,Farmers across France have been protesting by using tractors to create road blocks in a wave of protests across Europe. Major French motorways were blocked near Paris and Bayonne, close to the Spanish border. Farmers said anger was growing for several reasons. Many feel abandoned in the face of the climate crisis, with droughts and severe weather conditions, but there is also fury at what they see as impossibly low prices for their products in the food sector, the difficulty of red tape, complex environmental norms, and green policies – such as on water use – which they say are affecting profits. Further protests took place in Germany and Romania ahead of the European elections in June

,1,Naomi Wolf on the New American Coup

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By deploying the First Brigade, George Bush effectively created a private army for himself.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naomi Wolf:
Naomi Wolf is an author and essayist whose works have appeared in The New Republic, Wall Street Journal, Glamour, Ms., Esquire, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. She also speaks widely to groups across the country.
Her first book, The Beauty Myth, was an international bestseller. She followed it with Fire With Fire: The New Female Power and How It Will Change The 21st Century; Promiscuities: The Secret Struggle for Womanhood; Misconceptions, critique of pregnancy and birth in America; The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot; and Give me Liberty: A Handbook for American Revolutionaries.
Wolf is also co-founder of the Board of The Woodhull Institute for Ethical Leadership, an organization devoted to training young women in ethical leadership for the 21st century. She is a graduate of Yale University and completed her graduate work at New College, Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TRANSCRIPT:
Question: How has a coup taken place in the United States?
Wolf: So, the dictionary definition of a coup is a sudden change in our form of government. And for 200 years, when America have been protected from the prospect of soldiers policing our streets, our civilian streets by two laws, the 1807 Insurrection Act and the 1879 Posse Comitatus Act and what Bush did is with a signing statement he disregarded limitations Congress set on him and made it possible for him to deploy these troops on the streets. Now, why is this so disturbing? Why do I, why am I using such language designed to get the people’s attention? Because I think it really requires our attention. These are three to four thousand warriors. They were the people who maintain crowd control in [Fallugia]. They are not answerable to Congress. They’re not answerable to the American people. Their only boss is the President of the United States of America. He is the Commander in Chief. So, I was just trying to, kind of think this through and I contacted a source of mine, Major David Antoon, and I asked him and these are questions I asked because I’ve studied closing societies and in closing societies often the leader or the president will send military especially during an election to deed or harass or arrest or worst voters and opposition leaders and I said, “You know, if the president tells the members of the first brigade to arrest civilians, what happens?” And he said they have to do it. And I said, well, if the president tells the first brigade to shoot at civilians, what happens? He said they have to do it and I said, well, if the president, you know, tells First Brigade to arrest Congress, what happens? He said they have to do it. So, you know, is this a worst case scenario? Obviously. Is there a reason that the founding generation made it absolutely clear that we were not to be policed by the military on the streets that we’re not answerable to the people? Yeah, there’s a reason because they understood from their own experience of George III mercenaries intimidating a civilian population. How difficult it is to remain a free people when the leader has its own army basically. So, it’s very, it’s a very serious development and it’s one I think we need to reverse.
,1,In this one-on-one “REVOLT BLACK NEWS” chat, host Eboni K. Williams will interview someone who’ll speak from the perspective of law enforcement. In this discussion, they will give insight into police brutality in the Black community, as well as their training and the impact of racial bias. They’ll even talk de-escalation tactics during an arrest, and the empathy and conflicts that Black cops feel working in the line of duty during today’s social climate.
Inspired by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ successful “State Of Emergency: The State of Black America & Coronavirus” town hall, “REVOLT BLACK NEWS” is a platform that is designed to report news from the perspective of Black people for Black people.
“When I started REVOLT, I always wanted to develop a platform to report the news from our perspective, from our lens, from our people, so I decided to launch ‘REVOLT BLACK NEWS.’” said Combs. “We’re here with solutions. We’ve already heard about what we can’t do, but this is what we can do.”
