H2O Man

If I look back to my paternal grandfather X7's example, he had been a school teacher of some note until a foreign group determined our people were not to be formally educated. His initial response was to become a hedge master, teaching in secret spots along the trails and roads. He became the poet of the United Irishman, and like his more famous cousin, was sentenced to be hung.

From the dungeon, he wrote what I consider a powerful poem. He had it snuck out, and given to his children. He was eventially set free, I suspect because he was, from all recorded descrtiptions, a generally likeable, frequently vain type of man. I have some of his writings from the Royal Irish Academy. At times like we are experiencing now, I think we must create and expand "hedge schools" along the information highway.

I get the impression the corporate media has internal questions on how to handle discussions on Epstein. Some go for the shallowist levels of glitter, though they could likely be unaware of anything deeper. Others have a much better idea. I favor keeping it in the news, and a hot potato for maga leadership.
