I am really sorry that we got attacked like that during our weekly Zoom meeting. But after what happened last week when myself and others, particularly Dr. Hotez, were attacked on Lucid with vile anti-vax propaganda, we shouldn't be surprised they're now targeting us.

Somehow, you're going to have to create a list of subscriber names that are "safe" and "trusted" and be able to screen new applicants' names before they can be approved?

I am not deterred and my support for you Ruth and the Lucid group remains stronger than ever.

I agree Gary: They will not deter us. They actually fear us. That’s why they disrupted. We are all Lucid and must remain so. Ruth, my support for you and this group is as strong as ever!

I was quite late in trying to enter the room, so this explains why I wasn't allowed in! I am sorry they did this to us. Is there anything we can do to help from our end?

I wasn’t there but you have my support.

Sorry, Ruth, that was deeply disappointing. We appreciate what you do. Maybe try a webinar format with written questions? Webinars are easier to control but obviously not as nice an environment as a discussion. Thank you and peace.

Always lucid, so sorry about all the losers with their vile, crude and uncivilized behaviors. Funny thing about goodness and truth it seems to bring about the worst in those that don't like it or want it to be discussed or disseminated. As with the old Dracula films we will continue to speak the truth to all the flying monkey's and douse them until we hear all their "I'm melting, I'm melting" cries. There is no place like our lucid home. If they try this again we will be ready to track and trace like a swat team. It's not nice to try to fool with lucid.

So sorry you had to deal with that. The information you share with us is vital and we are all grateful!

Too right. Forge ahead despite emerging fascism. What is occurring is the stuff of nightmares - what keeps me awake nights. Still, I never imagined the autumn of my years would look like this. How naive.. How ill informed, How complacent I was for decades.

Hell yeah. Hell yeah. And hell yeah.

I am so sorry. Not unexpected. Sarah and many others, lived through threats. We will not be silenced. I think of that Vet, 25 yrs. We count on you Ruth. Move forward. 💕💕

What a compliment Lucid was paid!

Always, lucid we will not be deterred. It appears that some do not like truth and goodness and will try anything to try to stifle it. Such crude, vile and obnoxious behaviors only show them for what they really are crude, vile and obnoxious. Like the old Dracula films we will keep hitting them with truth and continue to douse all their flying monkey's until we hear all their "Im melting I'm melting " cries. If they try it again we'll be ready for all their antics with our swat team. Track and trace to their disgrace. We must be doing something right to be sure. Its not nice to fool with lucid our home sweet home. Such losers

It should be no surprise that this sort of thing would happen with your expansive knowledge of authoritarian/fascist regimes/leaders and with the growing prominence of your definitive work. I know it was distressing for lots of people including myself, but we cannot let this disruption disrupt us, for we are stronger together. Thank you for your work and know that we are behind you 100%, Ruth.

I did not make the call this week, unfortunately. But what you say here is correct. We should expect more of this as the Republic is assaulted and raped. I am accused of Hyperbole but I see remarkable similarities to 1930’s Germany. An exact duplicate situation? Of course not. But the underlying darkness and threats are there.

So sorry to hear about this. I know it take more than a few yahoos on a Zoom call to deter you. Thank you for your courage and amazing work.

I am not deterred. You and the group have my 100% support. They fear what they know is the truth.

One thing I learned from the *rump Twitter Wars is when the gnats attack you must be doing something right 😎👍
