I just know Marine Le Pen absolutely loves France. It's so present in her, that love of her country. The way nationalists love Ireland: Now putting religion and politics to one side, it is the love of the land. Appreciating the subtle difference (and stark differences) in ways, county by county.

I was stunned by the news of Le Pen’s persecution… then I heard Christian Morris’s superb Odysee post (Letbt) from last night. I commend his ongoing analyses… they beautifully dovetail with yours Thomas. For some months I have been struggling through a Jungian/Lovecraftian darkness. As you mentioned it’s as if the world I grew up in never existed and the one I’m in now is impossibly strange… unless there are demonic forces fucking with our reality, egregores feasting on our energies, and mythic battles both above and below. I’ve been obsessed with Joseph Campbell, consciousness, creativity and the fundamentals of natural philosophy. Thomas, without the ideas and tools you and the tribe introduced to me… well I’d be fish food. I am a strong woman, but not nearly as strong as Marie Le Pen… she may be down but she is not out. Now I realize, neither am I. Thank you for all you do and my gratitude to fellow members of the tribe.
