Rough HUFF Loose Cannon Suggestions & Reminders 12-26-24           Underlined  links are for background reading.   Many others items are really signposts & reminders of where we’d be going if and when we find the person power, time, interest, and resources.  We are gathering information and evidence to challenge the Dominant (False) Narrative.  Organize! If anyone has questions, please raise them.

These Thursday ” Loose Cannon”  meetings are run by Athena (with occasional gavel pounding from Robert).  This is a rough agenda.  The final version will be passed around at the meeting along with carrots, cookies, coffee, and chaotic catcalls.
