Professor Williams speaks far, far too many truths ever to qualify for a slot in the upcoming or any future US government administration. She is far more akin to a highly rational, deeply chastised European.

The white SUVs on the altar are so reminiscent of a Pacific Islander cargo cult, so sad, so futile. Such a scam, perpetrated by church con men, peddled--as to those primitive tribes--to the desperate in the US, kept so ignorant by their churches, their school czars, their media, their political representatives.

Go well, Professor Williams. And please do keep speaking out.
