FOG OF CAPITALISM
Theoretically capitalism will meet the needs of the most people with little to no governmental intervention. FACTually speaking the evidence tells a different story. In “the West” capitalism is equated with democracy and contrary to communism. In reality capitalism and communism are both hierarchical while democracy is not hierarchical. The propaganda about these topics have been profound and is the work of corporate-owned-government-controlled media in a manner that brings to mind fascism.
PEACE AND LIBERTY
What is the message that is sent either accidentally or intentionally sent by John Lennon as he mimics the stance of our Lady Liberty? Can we manifest both liberty and peace?
REASON
As one who, like the majority of people went along to get along, the ego-busting reality of Climate Change was the catalyst to speak up regardless of consequences. When fracking came to town in Upstate NY and local bureaucrats and politicians bought and paid for by big-money interests began to run so-called news reports over local news channels that were more nearly sales seminars and said individuals shouted their battle cry of “drill baby drill”, the consequences seemed so dire as to eliminate reticence.
DEVIL IN THE DETAILS
Propaganda seems to be the hierarchical spewing of their perspective in language that seems to forestall the willingness of too many recipients of said information to see the details beyond the rhetoric. Is this the framework used by dictators?
CITIZEN OR CUSTOMER?
So White House Press Secretary is going to MSNBC. This seems nothing other than a lateral switch within departments of a corporation. Did the Trump Administration “say out loud the quiet parts”, or were they so honest as to display FACTually that which other Administrations are still dancing around? An example is an expression heard from Jared Kushner (from memory anecdotally and paraphrased) that the US public are the customers of our government.
GIFT ECONOMY
At about 1:20PM on 3/31 listening to npr (apologies for failing to get the name of the Russian professor who was assessing effect of sanctions on Russian oligarchs) she informed that the sanctions on Russian oligarchs were personally harming the oligarchs without effecting their influence on Putin. This soundly reinforces the view from some people that Putin is challenging fascism (Western values) in Ukraine from a position of what may be ostensibly seen as the perspective of the concept of a Tsar.
EARTH DAY PREP
A special celebration of our home occurs on April 22; but who doesn’t love their home each day?
UTOPIA OR DYSTOPIAN?
An incident of brainwashing is evident in bureaucratic contempt for Utopian ideas. That to reach perfection is ostensibly impossible and the requirement to do so may be unhealthy, to attempt toward as nearly as possible that which is ideal surely isn’t wrong. Yet when ideas are introduced that to support a more equitable life for We The People, along with liberty and justice, you will hear a majority of politicians reject these notions. Yet the personal status of politicians seem to tend to heights of quality of life that are legislatively unavailable to the general public.
In other nations this could be described as dictatorship.
DEFINE NATIONAL SECURITY
Mitch McConnell graced us with his view about expanded funding for The Military-Industrial Complex to enhance national security. The view from Mitch McConnell is predictable when one considers reports of his familial connections to commercial interests in China. National security for American oligarchs is often imagined in terms of “protecting American interests overseas” which is commercial interest in foreign nations.
IT’S CALLED INDOCTRINATION BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT IT DOES
America woke up this morning to this important news
FACTually speaking, only most Americans care about somebody hitting somebody over American imperialism
DO DEMOCRACY AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO
Each of the Russian-Ukrainian military action and the Supreme Court confirmation hearing raises important questions about US policy. As we “spread democracy around the world”, how is democracy playing out in the USA?
This is what justice could look like
AMNESIA AS PUBLIC POLICY
Corporate-owned-state-run MSM has an easy job in broadcasting news when the public has the focus and memory capacity of a gnat. A different view can be spewed each day with little to no comment from consumers.
DELUDED INTO INANITY
As one who is deeply unconcerned with another person amassing financial wealth, one does however object to the violence, aggression and tyranny said person presumes due to that accumulation of finances over human sentiment. Those purchased by that wealth is a personal choice. The harm to unconnected people and nature is another thing. Presumption by hierarchy to influence emotionally the public, and includes efforts of the well-paid entertainment industry, will continue to highlight Russian oligarchs as though there are no American oligarchs, as they protect their own territory of wealth and privilege.
WHAT WE VOTE FOR
A democracy requires FACTual information and this implies a Free Press. Notoriously the news sources in the USA are owned and controlled by only several corporate entities that seem as involved in disseminating reports as they may be in donating to political campaigns. This further implies that commercial interests and governance are closely connected.
YOUR OWN BACK YARD
Establishment has long used the notion of NIMBY to shame and silence local-community members. In FACT, NIMBY seems to be survival and thriving. Local-community members seem to have this right this idea is intrinsic and backed up by the US Constitution.
