Electronic Communism
One is no more impressed or distressed by communism as one is with capitalism; because each seems opposite sides of the same coin of authority and hierarchy. One prefers principles of our democratic Constitutional republic. One dares to mention democracy as we are flirting with a world war under the banner of supporting democracy in the Ukraine, even as we are reminded that the USA is not a democracy by some authority/hierarchy characters. What could be their purpose?
REFUGEES OF MOTHER EARTH
Is it a wonder that some of the elite are planning for a future away from Mother Earth?
GLOBALISM
Oligarchs are the winner in war, local communities are not and neither is nature. The winners write the narrative to promote their interests for history. War is on the side of Climate Change. Industry profits exceptionally. Economic globalism without communal globalism is a travesty.
WOULD NUCLEAR WAR END CLIMATE CHANGE?
We have the ability to build out a renewable and sustainable energy grid but choose to retain obsolete and harmful types of energy production in abeyance to oligarchical wishes. How much of US military action around the globe that includes Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, to name a few, is to “spread democracy around the world” that is a euphemism for protecting oligarchical interests. Use of military action rather than good governance seems to have promoted movement to the brink of war. Too many nations have nuclear arms, including the USA. Climate Change is still the existential crisis of our lifetime. How ironic if a nuclear war was the remedy to Climate Change caused by over-industrialization.
DEFINE SANCTIONS
Is anyone else feeling the embarrassment of threats by the USA of sanctioning other nations? Joe Biden asked the Middle East to ramp up oil production to ease the upward spiral of gasoline costs in the USA and they said no. Is this a sanction? China possesses American jobs used to manufacture products needed by the American public and with China in control of the amount if any of the products getting to the USA. Is this a sanction?
GERBIL-WHEEL NATION
A war posture is the fall-back stance for too many politicians and the USA is not an exception. To be a functioning part of the problem takes no effort or imagination. In a nation wrapped in the mantle of exceptionalism, we should be capable of better. Can we recognize our own weak areas? Or like schoolyard bullies will we use threats and intimidation when we could use our intellect to promote peace? Currently heard on MSM is so-called tension between the USA and Russia over the Ukraine with little to nothing mentioned about the ideas from European nations. Do they not have ideas? Or are the battling capitalists in Russia and the USA drowning out other views?
DENIAL NATION
Hyperbole is typical in a political campaign but should have become undignified in a leader by the time political office has been reached.
TRUTH AND FACTS
As pointed out by a particular Establishment character commenting negatively about the grammar and language of Lee Camp, a person could look beyond the window dressing to hear truth. As one who finds FACTS to be useful while attempting to avoid truthfulness of any opinion one offers because that is subjective, we can recognize truth in the views of others. Lee Camp may make Establishment uncomfortable. Others may receive his comments less as a grammar tutorial and more as shining light in dark corners
TECH THAT SERVES RATHER THAN ENSLAVES
We are careening into technological and political enslavement by hierarchical Establishment. Complicated process is not our friend, but is a weapon of aggression toward humanity and nature. Innocuous and trendy innovations that titillate portions of the public, can quickly come to entrap the entirety.
An argument can be made that this is the origin of Climate Change.
KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
Power can be derived from the allure of wealth while other power is derived from integrity. Eventually the pain to the electorate from bedazzlement of wealth may be replaced by recognition of power as a result of integrity. It’s like turning an ocean liner.
QUALITY OVER QUANTITY
Some supporters of Bernie Sanders remain proud of their 2020 Democratic Primary choice, due to quality.
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.
SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY
Before reading this, perhaps we could all go out and buy something at a local business. The need for a small business Saturday seems a response to black Friday. We would all be the better for recognizing patterns rather than specifics. What is the connection or lack thereof with small businesses, multi-national corporations, The Military-Industrial Complex, and Climate Change?
