INTRODUCTION

Dear Ones,

Here I am at Paramount Ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains, talking with some exceedingly consternated Nandays and Ravens while I’m just trying to read a few sentences written long time ago by American patriot Thomas Paine.

There is a Summary after the video …

SUMMARY OF THE VIDEO

What is that? What is it?

Well, Ravens are in just such a to do today. They were so upset and I finally found out that they cannot eat the corn in the corn fields around here. And they’re very put out. Yes, they’re very put out indeed. But I said, “Don’t worry, you can eat everything else around here. There’s all kinds of things to eat.” And anyway, I think corn will make your tummies upset.

But they said, “We have to have something to feed our babies, right? We have to have something to feed our babies. Our babies like corn.” And then the Nandays said:
“Our babies are hungry too!”

And so that’s the news today. So I have a quote for you from Thomas Paine’s “The American Crisis.” It was written in 1776 and it applies even today, and it goes like this.

“These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will in this crisis shrink from the service of their country. But he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” That’s Thomas Paine.

. . . . .

Alice: What? Did you like it? Did you like it, Raven?

Raven: I did not like! I did not!

Alice: Why not?

Raven: I don’t like that type of stuff at all.

Alice: Raven doesn’t like that one. But you’re very angry and you’re feeling like you’re at war with the rancher right now, right? Well, if you’re at war and we’re at war, that’s the same thing, right? So, why are you angry?  … Why? Could we be friends? Could we be friends? Raven, is it okay? Raven!

Raven: I don’t want to make up.

Alice: But I don’t want a war. What do you say? Let’s be friends! Please? … See you later. Bye, Raven. Raven will not yet agree to no war. Not yet.

Nandays: We want our corn. This is our corn. This is our corn. We want our corn right now, dammit.

Alice:  Could we be friends? Nanday? Nanday? Maybe … No. Everybody’s angry today. What’s going on? … You are angry. Why? could we be friends?

Nanday: Not yet.

Alice:  Not yet? Okay. What?

Alice to Readers: Thomas Paine’s not working out. And the Nandays are angry.

Nandays: Look at that! That guy has a HAMBURGER! That guy has a HAMBURGER!

Alice:  What? What about a hamburger? … You want a hamburger? … I don’t know what to do.

Nandays: That guy has a HAMBURGER! He’s eating it, and WE WANT THAT FOOD! We want it TO EAT!

Raven: Yep, Yep!

Nandays: We NEED it to EAT!

Raven: Yep, Yep!

Alice:  You guys are great. You’re great.

Alice to Readers: I think those are young Nandays there.

Nandays: We’re grown up!

Alice: You’re grown up Nandays. Okay … Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. I love you.

Nanday: Nitwit!

Alice: Nitwit?! I’m a Nitwit?! … Awww!

. . . . .

Despite the bad press I was going on and looking at a little bit more of Thomas Paine’s letter and most of it is not relevant because it had to do with Britain taxing American people unfairly and that’s not the case. Today the case is otherwise. But the end of his pamphlet “Common Sense” I found to be particularly helpful and inspiring. It goes like this …

Okay. “I have as little superstition in me as any man living. But my secret opinion has ever been and still is that God Almighty will not give up a people to military destruction or leave them unsupportedly to perish who have so earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war by every decent method which wisdom could invent …”

That’s a Raven … I mean, that’s a Nanday.

” … by every decent method which wisdom could invent. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me as to suppose that he has relinquished the government of the world and given us up to the care of devils, as I do not. I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain can look up to heaven for help against us. A common murderer, a highwayman, or a housebreaker has as good a pretense as he.”

Thomas Paine had some cheek, had he not. He had a lot of courage and we have to have courage today too, I think. That’s the main thing.

You know, the Ravens are standing up for what they believe in. They think they should get that corn. And the Nandays are supporting the Ravens.

And I’m supporting the United States. We should have a chance at prosperity just like all the nations of the world.

God bless you all.
Keep you safe,
And be with you
Through all your days.

In love, light, and joy,
This is Alice B. Clagett.
I Am of the Stars.
And …

Nanday: … so are you!

Alice: That’s right!  ” … so are you.”

Alice to Readers: They know everything, these guys.

Alice: You guys are so smart. Yes, you are. You’re the smartest ones … It’s true. It’s true. You’re so so smart … And I love you.

Alice: Okay, so that’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to detente with the Nandays, right? Thank you!
