INJUSTICE IN THE USA
Discussion on C-Span this morning presented diverse perspectives. At 9:00AM a caller (paraphrase) spoke to the lack of attention from our government for Senior citizens and handicapped people. A feature of capitalism is “running government like a business”. This on a continuum becomes organized crime. The Pyramid-Scheme economy is a prerequisite to capitalism that caters to hierarchy by exploitation of human resources (people) and natural resources (environment). Senior citizens and physically-challenged people are not always a solicited part of the workforce. In FACT in a civilized society they would be honored members. In capitalism they are not respected.
NEWS TELLS A STORY
While the system of capitalism is lauded by beneficiaries of a Pyramid Scheme economy as being the best for most people, the news reports tell a different story.
THE MORE YOU KNOW…
The topic C-Span discussion this morning was motivation for so-called Representatives of The People to act in ways suggestive of corruption. The Supreme Court seems acting in ways supremely sycophantic to capitalistic hierarchical Establishment, including legalizing money in the electoral process byway of Citizens United. This is getting far too meager attention, incomprehensibly, and is corruption. The US government is supposed to avoid appearance of corruption, but seems to have become so corrupt as to be unconcerned with appearance and seem to wallow in it. Those who have urged “running government like a business” are a main reason for encouraging said corruption.
BELIEVE YOUR OWN EYES
On 12/12/2021 the following discussion was hosted on C-Span. The guest expressed the FACT that inordinate amount of funding from the US government is transferred to the Pentagon when the funding could be used to promote the well-being of We The People. A caller promptly phoned in to say Ms. Vlahos was “stating the obvious, in a manner that implied the obvious shouldn’t be spoken.
ARM CHILDREN WITH BOOKS
An educational system that would best educate children into an ability to self-govern in their maturity, instead trains into compliance to capitalistic systems of obedience, dependence, and consumerism. A prerequisite for freedom and equality is to be capable of thinking unshackled by hierarchical precepts.
NURTURE DEMOCRACY
That a particular gender and physiognomy presumes to display as the most capable in leadership to the extent of authoritarianism is belied by the state of our society in the USA including loss of democracy, equality, and justice, and held in place by the system of patriarchy that is compatible with capitalism.
DON’T LET BUREAUCRATS DO YOUR DEMOCRACY
Once again a caller to C-Span reminded us that “we are not a democracy, we are a Constitutional republic”. We might recall we also are not capitalistic, we are a Constitutional republic. But as to democracy, as heard on a Bill Moyers discussion, “governments don’t do democracy, people do democracy”. In the same character of indoctrination, socialism has been belied as contrary to democracy when it may in FACT be a definition of democracy. Americans have been self-deluded by the pandering by capitalistic-supporting politicians that we are “exceptional” when the USA may not even be noteworthy among functioning democracies around the world. We are, however, showing signs of fascism.
SAD SUCCESS
Success is the carrot in capitalism with competition suggested as a virtue. What has this ideal created in our modern world?
THE STRENGTH OF NATIVE
The incredible diversity of species found in the American woods is easy to overlook, but incalculably delightful and important.
ORIGINAL SIN OF A NATION
The history of the USA is taught to the public from the perspective of hierarchical Establishment. The FACTS of our history are far different and spoken if at all in hushed whispers. One monumental FACT of American history must be the witch hunts of New England. We all know of them, but more as a fairy tale than as the reality of our nation.
WHO ENACTS DEMOCRACY?
If democracy is backsliding in the USA as is reported, a reason may be the hierarchical indoctrination of We The People into compliance to authority. We are repeatedly reminded that the USA “isn’t a democracy”, we are a Constitutional republic. Of interest is the FACT that governments don’t do democracy, people do democracy, as heard on a Bill Moyers conversation. Our public educational system has been tortured into a training to be compliant consumers and economic units in a system that panders to the 1%. This seems tyrannical.
LIFE AND ART
As we watch capitalism falter and fail in the USA as surely as did communism in the Former USSR, we might imagine this moment as living in accordance with art rather than according to the dictates of a hierarchical Establishment, both of which are capitalism and communism. One also imagines that due to physical uniqueness, women often understand first hand that life is art. Money is nice, but art is the connection to that from which we emanate.
IS PR MISINFORMATION?
IS PR MISINFORMATION?
Fiscal policy that encourages if not mandates that both Mom and Dad must compete in the so-called workforce also supports use of our educational system as babysitters funded by property taxes imposed upon homeowners. Globalism that sent jobs overseas ensured poverty-level wages that enrich capitalistic hierarchical Establishment. Who knew our school systems seem responsible for feeding children, too? This was once the responsibility of parents who in 2021 are funneled away from family life and into that purported workforce. In other words, the priority in our capitalistic system is using We The People in a corporate framework rather than as respected citizens for which a free market functions. Extraordinary property taxes to fund the educational system as babysitters encourages Mom and Dad to maintain workforce lifestyle in place of family life, due to simple economic desperation.
BEWARE THE MESSAGE THAT WE ARE NOT A DEMOCRACY
Over the last several decades, and on the wave of Citizens United tyranny and greed, many politicians in the US Capitalist Party (Democratic/Republican duopoly) have passed laws that support trade agreements that are good for hierarchical commercial interests but not for We The People. American jobs were sent overseas and products required by the US public are controlled by foreign interests. One doesn’t understand the reason this isn’t the “government run like a business” that on a continuum becomes organized crime.
In desperation to cover their tracks, politicians have exchanged policy for racism and sexism in campaigns in order to control a deluded electorate. Local small business is replaced by national chain retailers that retain workers at poverty wages. Said poverty wages qualifies workers for government aid when it should be the responsibility of the employer to pay living wages and provide benefits to workers. The shift of cost from the employer to the public seems fraudulent. The poverty wages cuts down on income taxes and social security payments from workers’ paychecks that should support the government that is drained of resources in order to transfer the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%.
LIBERTY
In a nation where democracy is explained away as “our system” because we are a Constitutional republic, we could remember that democracy is practiced by people, not by government. This may be the difference between principles of equality and liberty as compared to a dictatorship. If government functions for the benefit of the public rather than to support hierarchy, democracy sees required.
