WHAT DO NORAD AND NATO HAVE IN COMMON?
One commonality is a diversity of US “enemies”. But a more succinct commonality comes to mind. And information about current events stamped “top secret”, will probably in about 10 years be found stuck to the bottom of some politicians shoe.
MYOPIC OLIGARCHY
Oligarchy can be defined by myopia.
The mindset was on display on C-Span this morning.https://www.c-span.org/video/?525774-4/washington-journal-michael-gordon-discusses-chinese-military-capabilities-threats-posed-us –FEBRUARY 12, 2023 | PART OF WASHINGTON JOURNAL 02/12/2023
BOY SCOUTS WITH BINOCULARS
The painfully relevant topic of debt in the USA was addressed by a mature and informed discussion with Elyse Hicks. The predatory character of credit card use was prominent. We should question those who called in to say “they knew what they were getting into” as being offensive when one remembers that organized crime uses usury tactics in their power and wealth accumulation. Some people have recognized that capitalism on a continuum is organized crime, and should be treated as such.
WE’RE ALL “THE OTHER”
The trouble with exceptionalism is a tendency to overlook excellence in “the other”
CITIZENS AT RISK
One awaits a discussion on the topic of the difference between capitalism and communism as effects We The People.
WE ARE RATIONAL CREATURES
Rationalization helps.
When it happens in communist countries, capitalist countries call it propaganda. –
RESPONSIBILITY OF DEFENSE
A greater national security threat doesn’t exist than the delicate balance of nature.
SAY SOCIALISM
So what’s up with the fear of calling it what it is? People are railing against predatory capitalism that is destroying life in the USA while careful to assure capitalists that they are pro-capitalist.
CONSIDER IMBOLC
In this season of Imbolc, we can remember we are the drivers of our lives. The choice can be ours as to how we wish to live and what we believe.
HR DEPARTMENT TO WE THE PEOPLE
Can the Family and Medical Leave Act (FLMA) function, as said by guest Rachel Greszler, as”a get out of jail free card”. Ms. Greszler spoke truth more than FACTS when she said that. In a nation that is number 1 in human incarceration, a point can be suggested that the work world for many employees isn’t far different. While corporations decry regulations applied to them, the regulations imposed upon employees seem often in conflict with human rights, not to mention rights of nature as pertains to environment.
VOICES
C-Span offered a vibrant discussion about socialism v capitalism in Congress today. The USA is mega capitalist. Here is an informative perspective
NEW WORLD ORDER
Most people have heard spoken of, “the new world order”. This is consistently spoken of as to have been inculcated into the public thought process. We haven’t heard a logical and precise definition of what this will entail. This topic comes to mind due to a question that went unanswered from a C-Span caller at about 8:45AM in which a caller questioned about what “the new world order” as first mentioned by Bush (he didn’t say which Bush, but does it matter?) might be.
