The VP Debate & The Scream from Helene

I write this on the eve of the vice-presidential debate, and you’ll obtain it on the day thereof.  Hurricane Helene has spoken—no, screamed—to our world about what actually issues on this presidential election and within the religious and ethical lifetime of our nation and species at the moment.

As I wrote 35 years in the past within the opening chapter of my e book on the Cosmic Christ, our mom Earth (as we all know her) is dying.  And our species and Western tradition and faith and financial system and media and schooling and narcissism (Pope Francis’ phrase) is basically answerable for it.

Now individuals from Florida to Virginia are paying the worth for our neglect and denial and perversely narcissistic politics.  Listed here are among the methods Mom Earth is making an attempt to get our consideration.

The Scream from Helene contains the fact that at the very least 130 persons are lifeless and as much as 1,000 persons are lacking.  Tons of of individuals from six states are looking for their family members and piece their lives again collectively, whereas on the identical time, a brand new storm is creating within the Gulf of Mexico and two extra within the Atlantic.

I hope that the moderators of the vice-presidential debate will ask genuine questions of each candidates and the presidential nominees they communicate for, about this urgent situation.  Something much less is to take part within the lies and cover-up and folly (versus knowledge) that the antichrist is legendary for. 

The primary query to pose is that this: What are the presidential actions they and their operating mates will take to answer the Scream of Helene?

And I don’t imply the incalculable amount of cash that might be wanted to scrub up the catastrophe.  I imply the rethinking of our time and place on Earth—our perspective towards Mom Earth—that may stop an increasing number of and extra frequent Helenes.

How way more screaming should Mom Earth do so as to wake our species up?  To maneuver from conflict in opposition to our fellow people and conflict in opposition to Mom Earth to creating peace with Earth and our limits as a species?

The one solutions I recall listening to from candidate Trump are these three: 

1. “Local weather Change is a hoax.” 

2. “Drill, child, drill.” 

3. Leaked from behind a closed door session with CEO’s of fossil gasoline firms is the pledge made by Mr. Trump: “Give me $1 billion and I’ll intestine all the present legal guidelines from the Biden administration about defending the setting.”

Maybe vice-presidential candidate Vance can enhance on this response to a very powerful ethical situation of our time.
