I think we absolutely need to start framing national security as the security of our entire population in their every day lives, not just the security of our borders. Without the first I don't think we can truly have the second.

I agree. My security is based on the security of the least among us.

Very profound. The least of our brothers, I believe, is a religious doctrine. Too bad the GOP does not follow it.

Same for the Dems. Neither Party really cares about the public. Robert F Kennedy jr is the only viable candidate we have that actually talks about the people and talks about his growing up being taught to understand them. One of his stories has to do with his father taking the kids on vacation to very poor communities to see what their conditions were and what needed change. He has spoken against war and the need to walk on another's shoes to understand them. He may not agree with Russia but understands how they were directly threatened by the US that instigated this war and he talks about how we can stop it immediately and work on bringing peace.

Time to stop trying to make Biden and his supporter as entities worth supporting and safing. They are actively destroying us.

The Axis won WW2, hijacking the Press and placing the USA in a matrix.

The Axis controls both the DNC are RNC, staging fake disputes between them to distract everyone from the Nazis in the background ruling us dictatorially.

The Axis targeted me when I was a child because I am mixed Celtic-Jewish. They are framing me as a serial murderer to get my DNA in the database. Covert genocide.

The evidence is plain as day in my docs.

Democrat journalists are covering up for Nazis.

Republican journalists are covering up for Nazis.

I elaborate in my Google Docs:

Exactly. Food security. Health security. Housing security. Safety

This reminds me of MaslowтАЩs Hierarchy of Needs which is usually visualized as a pyramid. First the Basic Needs for survival. Then Security & Safety which also include being able to provide the necessities of life as well as physical & mental well-being and safety. Without that foundation successfully moving to the next levels is extremely difficult. https://www.simplypsychology.org/maslow.html

This dovetails with scientific findings that lack of these basic needs and security contribute to toxic stress which in turn is a major factor in poor mental and physical health. Too much time in тАШflight or fightтАЩ mode puts a lot of wear and tear on minds and bodies. It can also lead to not being able to determine actual threats from commonplace occurrences.

I see no reason it would not be the same for groups of people - including communities and nations. In fact many professions adapt the principles to their work and workplace. It is the reason Tarpon Springs, FL, chose to become first trauma-informed city in 2010.

Elliot--I'm a novice when it comes to computers. I don't even own a cell phone, growing up as a teenager in the 60s I've learned to like a simpler way of life free from the trappings of new age electronics. I don't like facebook, never used Twitter and the new thing that's going on between Musk and Zuckerberg doesn't interest me in the least. Now, what can I do for you?
