The naked menace of US-Israel and US-Corporations revealed so clearly, so forcibly, so horribly this spring is being papered over by the US media and talk shows. As example, my own family. The only one outraged is a marine biologist who specializes in sea turtles. The rest either are surviving economic crises or they believe the media. I fear that Vashon will also fail to speak out in concert against the false messaging. Certainly, Vashon has shown itself to be deaf, dumb and blind in vital matters so far.  In spite of the efforts of some dedicated and competent people we are a collective zero. We host visiting "Green" book salesmen yet have not a clue how to increase support of our own growers. We calmly ignore the encroaching police state. We put up with the insane auto commute, putting zero effort in converting Vashon to electric transport. We put up with Bangor. The problem with America is seen in all its intricacies right here on Vashon. We are beyond hope.
