You shall not kill… you shall not steal …. you shall not covet your neighbor’s house … nor anything else that belongs to him.
– Exodus 20:13, 15, 17
Senator Lindsey Graham suddenly passed away unexpectedly at home this weekend. He just came back from visiting Kyiv, Ukraine and was seen energetically from the media posted pictures with Zelenskyy. This is another shock since Charlie Kirk was assassinated last September (see Megyn Kelly Opens Up About Israel, Charlie Kirk, and the Past Nine Months, with Ana Kasparian) . We do not want to talk bad on people who just died, and I am not familiar with him. But Lindsey Graham is a senior Senator, and the chairman of Senate Budget Committee. When people suddenly died during a sensitive political situation, it is hard not to have controversy rumors spreading. In just couple of day, several hit piece came out and it isn’t a eulogy. The Truth About Lindsey Graham Is Finally Coming Out. and there is reason Why It’s Time for Truth Bombs About Lindsey Graham | The Daily Beast Podcast.
Our political system nowadays are full of corrupt politicians who are rapist or LGBTQ. Government is serving special interests and small group of elites. Epstein file, regardless its loud promise of DOJ of Trump administration, had no substantial progress. In the case of Lindsey Graham, he spent 23 years as one of the most powerful Iran hawks in Washington and one of the largest recipients of pro-Israel money in Congress. Despite quite some mainstream media singing eulogy, here is a video holding opinion very different: The Satanic Life Of Israel’s Top Senator | Lindsey Graham . In this video, the author Will Sexton go through his actual record — the wars, the donors, the quotes on tape — and what it tells us about how foreign policy really gets made in Washington. Graham was a sitting U.S. Senator for over two decades, a close Trump ally, and one of the most influential foreign policy voices in the country — which means his record is public, documented, and fair game for honest scrutiny like any powerful official’s. From his AIPAC speeches to his campaign finance filings to his role pushing the Iraq War, the Iran strikes, and endless Ukraine funding, this is the case study for how the neoconservative Israel-alliance model actually operates in American politics — the money, the access, and the results. Audience feed back: one rat wont change anything when the whole house is infested.
The Problem of Democracy written Shadi Hamid, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and the top thinkers of the country, pointed out: “The United States has certain advantages when it comes to containing the mutual antagonism of its two parties: strong institutions, democratic norms, and a long history of democratic practice. The American problem of democracy is no longer just a Middle Eastern problem. The polarizing effects of identity, culture, and religion are now haunting the world’s oldest democracies. At home, a growing number of Americans are realizing that respecting election results when the other side wins is easier said than done. To look then at the democratic dilemma abroad is to consider a deeper set of questions around why we believe democracy is good as well as whether we think it is good for other nations and cultures.”
It is supposed to be a honor to work for government. But instead of doing public serve, more and more politicians(on both side of the parties) are taking the position for self-enrichment at the cost damages to the public at a scope not limited to domestic, since United States had been a single most powerful force in the world. Trump got a 2 billion profits in a single one year of 2025 in the White house as President by dragging the country into the war, making a mess of domestic affairs. Another obvious example can observed just think of Clinton – where his philanthropic foundation get its money?
In addition, the current system had debased into a crony system. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster has appointed Darline Graham Nordone, the younger sister of late U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham, to serve the remainder of his Senate term in Washington. Lindsey Graham hold a position that need to have congress confirm, but now his sister, not had no public political experience, is going to replace him? The American government drama is getting more and more ridiculous.
Linsdey Graham’s sister Darline Graham said, “Lindsey has always been there for me. And now I will be there for him.” Darline Graham certain had good intention to pay tribute to her brother. But she had been a householder who never had done any public work before, and does not have the training and necessary skills to fill her brother’s capacity at this particular moment; and her brother already had made disservice to the people and the country, to say to lest. If she have any Christian education, then this is the right time to pray for the good of his soul and to reduce the burden of his sin; this is a time of prayer to help her brother’ soul repentance, so he can stay in peace with Jesus. It is not the time to add more errors to her brother’s burden and guilt. In the Buddhist’ tradition, people would recite Ksitigarbrah Sutra and dedicate the merit to the pass-away in this crucial time.
And this can also be a moment for the government to repentance for the injure and detriments it had caused for the whole country, betraying the values and notions of public service. The government, which her brother is a part of, lives by borrowing 39 trillions of dollar debt, what kind of service had it done for the public? It is the rat that steal the public cheese. With that understanding, she should call on all government officers to repent – only only voluntarily reduce their paycheck to the minimum(even to voluntarily resign), but also return the bribery ransom and blackmail perks back to the public governance.
This whole Insanity reminds me of what Dane Rudhyar wrote in Astrology of America’s Destiny: “How can we effectively fight for principles and values while we uphold in beautiful phrases while in so many ways betraying them in actions and in a general quality of living and behaving? What we are facing today in America is not merely a political crisis, but a crisis in collective consciousness. We have to reassess the fundamental meaning of what the Western civilization has brought to mankind and what the meaning and destiny of American essentially are now.”
