She telepathically connected with The Grey Lady, her main ET contact from her 40 years of alien abductions. This book is also a snapshot into what it’s like to live as an experiencer. Many experiencers have psychic phenomena, downloads and are sensitives. There are millions of ET contactees in the world who, up until now, have lived in fear and were too afraid to speak their truth. But the tide is changing and experiencers are supporting each other with Disclosure.”   I have not read either of Rowan’s books   AND ALSO   “He was driving to the Mechanic when THIS chased him... ”   https://youtu.be/G-VeUSEqna4   AND ALSO   “I am Them, the Judy Goldschmidt's Encounters”   https://youtu.be/abhoOJSjWVU

Republicans wondered whether their party could survive. Six years later, Ronald Reagan won the presidency.   ...   Democrats turned toward bipartisan cooperation with a president who still had a veto. Investigations exposed extraordinary abuses of executive power, but much of that power remained available to the next occupant”

Possible flaws 

Where I can, I will try to highlightopossible flaws / issues youoshouldoconsider: 

• there mayobe flawedologicaloarguments in the above: to find out more about such flaws and thinking generally, I recommend Brendan  Myers’ freeoonline course “Clear and Present Thinking”;  
• I could be wrong - so keep your thinkingocaps on, and make up your own minds for yourself.

teaching the "good" (balancedopositive and spirituallyomature [BPM]) 
safer and more effective ways to counter the "bad" (outoofobalance, spirituallyoimmature [nonBPM/antiBPM]) 

IMO, OTAAT (“one term at a time”) is the next action to save representative  democracy, along with establishment of an organisation of human-rights observing  democracies as a functional alternative to the UN (especially the veto-sabotaged UN SC), along with all organisations being run using the seven "business" principles listed here, but also note this and this “Vision for Humanity”

Remember: we generallyoneed to be more human being rather than human doing, to mind our Mӕgan, and to acknowledge that all misgenderingois an act of activeotransphobia/transmisiaothat puts trans+ lives at risk & accept that all insistence on the use of “trans” as a descriptor comes with commensurate use of “cis” as a descriptoroto prevent “othering” (just as binary gendered [men’s and women’s] sporting teams are either both given the gender descriptor, or neither).
