My letter to the Los Angeles Times regarding Naked Athena

[Hekate]

They had an article today...


From cloud of Portland tear gas, Naked Athena appears

Please, more reporting on Portland, OR. I watched part of this last night on livestream, and was stunned by what I saw. A line of women proclaiming themselves to be Moms, including at least one heavily pregnant woman, were attacked with gas and smoke by unidentifiable camo-wearing thugs on the streets of an American city.

When I saw the the Naked Athena appear, I realized something profound was happening. She is aptly named for the warrior goddess of ancient Greece. But even more than that, when she took that iconic pose (thank you for printing it) I saw a mortal woman go Full Goddess: life, death, life. And for a moment, the forces of destruction were abashed.

May the Mother of All keep her safe.

[Nevilledog]

1. Awesome!

[Hekate]

2. Thank you

I burst into tears when I realized what I was seeing there

[Nevilledog]

5. I was really affected by it, too. The bravery, power and wisdom behind that one act.

I wonder if we'll ever find out who she is......

[Hekate]

8. I kind of hope we never find out who she is. Let it be the stuff of mythology...

...says Hekate.

[Nevilledog]

10. I like that idea.

[MontanaMama]

20. Beautiful Hekate.

I agree.

[demigoddess]

24. +1

she was amazing and should remain anonymous.

[Zoonart]

3. THIS x1000

[Me.]

4. She's Amazing

37. Waht A Stunning Thing To Do

Thanks for the link to article

[Blue_true]

32. I was trying to figure out why she sat down and opened her legs while holding out her empty hands.

Took some reading. Apparently she was showing the cops that she had nothing to harm them, so there was no reason for them to attack. Smart head game she played with those assholes, she had her game well planned out and she showed them up.

[Me.]

38. However Did She Think Of This?

[Blue_true]

39. I don't know. But whatever, she ran that plan to perfection. nt

Perfection is the word

[2naSalit]

44. Naked protest is a thing in Portland...

It is also considered art, not that the commandos in the street knew that. She was masterful in they way she disarmed them.

Can't wait to see what shitneck 45 says about it when he decides to spew something forth.

[BigmanPigman]

50. He'd likely say something sexist/misogynistic

about her body. That is how his brain(?) works.

[2naSalit]

51. No doubt.

And it will only make him look worse.

[LakeArenal]

60. She's obviously a ten. So there's that.

Meaning she’s already perfect in every way.

Not just trump’s 10 rating.

[peggysue2]

6. Excellent!

And spot on.

[2naSalit]

7. I guess I missed that!

Any images?

[Hekate]

9. Post 4 says link to video, but they will have to return to supply it

[Blue_true]

34. She had a plan to show up those thugs and she executed it to perfection. nt

[Nevilledog]

35. I really was awed.

[2naSalit]

45. +1

[sheshe2]

11. If the underlined is your link....

I don’ t think it works due to the bolding.

I want to see this!

Thanks, Hekate.

[Hekate]

15. Sorry, that's just me indicating title

I get the LAT in paper format, and even tho they also send me an online version, I can't seem to ever pull a link up.

The photo is spectacular.

Thank you.

[mnhtnbb]

59. That is a Pulitzer Prize winning photo.

Nice letter, Hekate!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

12. Beautifully written

Thanks for posting it here.

[blogslut]

13. For a charm of powerful trouble,

Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

[Sienna86]

19. Well done.

Thanks for sharing.

[MontanaMama]

21. Holy hell.

That took guts.

[GulfCoast66]

22. Has she been identified? I hope she never is.

[LymphocyteLover]

23. tearing up

beautiful

[amuse bouche]

28. I don't know her, but I was so damn proud of her

[bucolic_frolic]

29. She made them confront their own wanton aggression

They had to be saying, to themselves, "Why am I doing this? What am I doing here?"

[I_UndergroundPanther]

30. Hail Sekhmet.

Whoever she was may she bring out the gods inside us and may our will for justice ,compassion, and equality be done.

[malaise]

31. Great letter sis

[Danascot]

33. Naked Athena, Navy Man and Moms

I doubt those thugs were trained to deal with people like them.

[erronis]

36. Right. They aren't trained at all. They are just attack dogs at the beck and call of RW assholes

like barr and trump.

The thugs aren't supposed to be particularly well edjicated or attuned to the world.
The thugs are just supposed to cause violence, even when there is no reason for violence.

Then the thugs in the WH/DOJ/media can blame the innocents for the violence.

Because all of the thugs are getting their money and orders from the same source.

[2naSalit]

46. Exactly. ...nt

[burrowowl]

52. Hopefully the Goons will be punished!

Brave Navy Vet, Moms and Athena deserve our heartfelt gratitude!

[yardwork]

40. Your letter brought me to tears. Thank you.

[BadGimp]

42. AMEN!!!

OMG Yes......

[scarletwoman]

47. She was not naked, she was clothed in power.

Thank you for writing that beautiful letter.

[Laha]

48. Just incredible

She is so strong and brave. An example for us all to hope to live up to.

[niyad]

49. It's not wise to piss off the Goddess, you thugs.

"May Artemis (Athena) protect you
And Hera provide you
And the Womansoul within you
Guide your way Home"

[BlancheSplanchnik]

53. What ironclad bravery!!

[love_katz]

55. I am with you, Hekate.

May the Mother of All keep her safe. May she be blessed in all ways that are pleasing and correct for her. Thank you, Naked Athena!

[North Shore Chicago]

56. Great letter!

Some of the twitter comments are immature. What this woman did took an enormous amount of courage, now SHE is a true patriot!

[Aussie105]

57. A draw dropping act of courage.

Such stuff which legends are made of.

The LA Times article, just in case no one linked it.
