Do you, Raven, defy the striding edge of Inhumanity?
If you do not, then from henceforth take this as your sole commission and duty…

Spotlight
I have seen many things in my time here. I gazed upon frightened Americans in 1933 as they thankfully reached my Shores in the wake of the collapse of the Weimar Republic in 1933. The downfall of that social democratic republic, hallmarked by the complete and deliberate dismemberment of that country’s institutions which, at the time seemed to its people to be everlasting.
They rejoiced.
They conquered.
They subjugated.
But then came the Reckoning.
In History, learn this. ‘Everlasting’ is but the tiniest blip upon the timeline of history. When it ruptures it is violent and unforgiving. In 1933, in a country rejoicing in far off Europe, by 1945 there was no rejoicing. A beautiful country had arrogantly presumed itself to be superior to all. Those who survived looked out upon a barren landscape. In that moment, I caught a person’s eye. This person, these millions in fact, could not speak. But I heard them all, all the same.
What HAVE we done?
Today, 91 years on, I say this. What you see within my shores between my Pacific and Atlantic Seaboards will be unrecognisable just four years from now, in 2028.

Uncertainty is the danger to all young people. And older people are no longer the role models for them to build their own lives. In this vacuum it does not take long for the ungainly splash of red paint in anger, to reform itself into the ugliness and detestation of a sharpened knife-like double letter S, or that ancient and noble symbol once again in reverse and upon which Adolf Hitler seized as that man’s ultimate weapon ~ the swastika.

Video of the Moment
This very short video clip celebrates the 2018 250th Anniversary of Lloyds Bank. It is a quite breathtaking 1.31 min clip. This reminds me of the importance to civilisation in history of this magnificent animal ~ The Horse.
