DUKE SENIOR Sweet are the uses of adversity;Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;And this our life, exempt from public haunt,Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,Sermons in stones, and good in everything.I would not change it.AMIENS.Happy is your grace,That can translate the stubbornness of fortuneInto so quiet and so sweet a style.

The toad is, on one hand mythologically considered poisonous but on the other hand, said to also contain a jewel of protection. Shakespeare was aware of this. The duke’s attitude is that even though he has been banished, things are still fine. If one were so inclined, one could find their entire sprit life still present in the most depraved circumstances.

He does not say how sweet is adversity. He says how sweet are the USES of adversity. No one examining the supporting evidence for devolution would say that it has been, at all, pleasant.However, it can serve a sweet use. If THIS iteration of MAGA can be used to learn the lesson that devolution is trying to teach, both to us and the public at large, then it can be indeed, sweet. This is our theme.

PART 1 We are approaching the 20th anniversary of 9/11 which is a well-defined emblem of national grief for those lost, outrage for who perpetuated the attack and pain due to the deception surrounding that catastrophic event. This, further exacerbated by the recent cravenly planned and executed withdrawal of Afghanistan, where I was proud to have served in 2018.

WE CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO SUGAR COAT ANY OF THIS. Or paint a pretty face on it. The world is now being exposed for what it really is like. The process of devolution pronounces that it HAD to be like this. There is no way through it but through it. It did seem that Trump was going to do a clean sweep while in office. That thought must be discarded outrightly.

The inner world of corruption of which we’re seeing the final vestiges of acted out in real time is being exhumed. Our movement has SEEN to it, that it can NO LONGER remain concealed. The dirty laundry which remained long hidden is now strewn about on the archetypal front lawn.

But it is a flailing representation of a code of conduct that has ALREADY been taken up by root and branch by the coalition that has triggered devolution operation. The best is yet to come means the worst is not over, YET. The world has not been a nice place for a very long time. The lucrative instruments of pain and suffering were only hidden. It could never be overcome so long as it operated in secret.

We are also beginning to understand that the people and entities that must be held accountable are in many cases a part OF the body politic not apart from. It was continually replenished by mass denial which only bought us a little more time, which in the greater scheme of things is NOTHING.

Trump himself could not sustain this sick insane system, which if we search our souls and ask honestly, we will prefer to continue to defer or else we wouldn’t be suffering through devolution. No amount of continual striving can keep the ball in the air any longer. Thank God for that. <- end of part 1

@Flectere There is also a great quote from Christopher Marlowe in Edward II,"Base fortune , now I see that in thy wheel, which men aspire, they tumble headlong down".
