I’ve made a big gamble with time and energy. On April 2nd, I had the idea for a Truth Summit. Inside me, it said yes. Yes, interview 20 truth tellers for a Summit!
I listened to that yes. I gambled that things would work out. I gambled that enough people would be interested in hearing about these 20 people.
I did all I could to make it a safe gamble. The idea came on April 2nd. I looked at the calendar. I knew I did not want the Summit in summer. Too many people off on holiday. Still, I knew I wanted a web page for each person, where people could see more about the person as well as watch the interview. That takes time. So I chose to have the Summit from June 12 -23 - giving me as much time as possible, but also before the summer vacation times.
Then I put my time into the project. Hundreds of tasks.
Time rushed by. I’m close to ready.
But a big part of the gamble lies ahead. Will enough people be interested, so it feels that the effort was worthwhile? Will you be interested?
Come back tomorrow for the full line-up, day after day.
But whatever happens, this is the kind of gamble I am eager to take. It’s the kind of gamble I’ve taken before - like in 2012 when I had my first Truth Summit. And I’ve taken it with a bunch of big projects - like a book I wrote, Think or Sink: We Think or the West Sinks.
It’s also the kind of gamble taken by each of the people interviewed. They couldn’t know in advance if they’d reach many people, if their efforts would make a dent on the course of events planned by the Predators. And so much about what is coming is undecided - as some of us see it, anyway. That in fact makes many of them all the more dedicated to what they are doing - to the gamble they are taking with their lives. But as a number of them said, they would rather be doing what they are doing than sitting on the sidelines, waiting for others to do something or waiting for divine intervention.
I see these gambles - the gambles I’m taking, and these truth tellers are taking - as utterly different from casino gambles. At most, in a casino, you can win money. But the system is fixed so that most people have to lose. In the first place, it costs money to run a casino. And whoever runs it - the government, in many cases - is in it to make a huge profit.
Here there is the potential for win-win. If you come to the Truth Summit, you may win by learning about some amazing people you didn’t know of, or anyway knew hardly anything about. The truth tellers win by being seen and heard. And I win by having my work appreciated. I also win by having made this small contribution to bringing together you, the listeners, with some amazing people on the side of truth and human rights. There’s yet another win. I win by having talking with these amazing people, and by anything I have been able to give to these truth tellers - like more people aware of their work, interested in their messages.
Each of these people is gambling - gambling that their small or large contribution may combine with the contributions of like-minded others, and that the whole will be much more than the sum of the parts, that we together are shifting things to the side of truth and humanity.
Anyway, this is a gamble I am happy to have taken. The Truth Summit.
BUT . . .
It can still be hard at times. Sometimes I go: will this come together? will things work out? I very much feel, it’s a gamble. There is no assured happy ending.
But again, I know I wanted to take this gamble, am happy to have taken it, and day by day am glad to be gambling that the project will reach lots of people, make some positive impact.

Thanks Elsa,
I am not a great reader nor a great writer. I read your letter and decided to write a few words.
I want to mention first some ghastly past events abot christanity. The first product ofAbrahamic religion is Judaism, second product is christanity and third produc is Islam.
I don't know much about Judaism. Only I know that Moses killed some of his companions because they worshipped a cow idol. Don't know much about the past history of Jews and their sins before rise of christanity. But have read old testament which tells that when you won the war.. Kill all males, take possession of women and children. The essence of spreading religion. Christians killed many unwanted ladies by charging as a witch by putting them on fire alive.
. The most famous example is of Jones of Arch a French freedom fighter, she was given death punishment by a group of nearly 130 Bishops on charge that she was wearing male clothes. She was put on fire alive and was burnt into ashes. Hitler was follower of christanity, the so called religion of mercy.. Killed 60 lakh Jews. But by science and technology now majority of Christian world has changed a lot but they think Islam is as their brother nearer than Hinduism. Mao was saying Stalin is my brother in spite of many differences between them.
Islam is the third product a mixture of Judaism and Christianity. They partially follow the old testament with some additions of their own.
Islam is now the greatest threat to humanity. They take shelters in other Democratic countries by hook or crook , where votes are important. They grow their population and vote counts and try to dealings about their religious facilities at the cost of their votes. Islam is now cruelest and most dangerous religion on earth at present. The destruction of world trade center had proved it. They shall wait and do attack on non Muslims as and when possible. So my request to all European countries, USA, Canada, Australia etc, not to give shelter, financial and medical aids etc, to Muslims any where in the world till they abandon Islam and accept Christianity.
The last most important thing we all must pray for end of Ukraine and Russian war. Fight between two Christian countries. 🌹🙏🙏
