LOCAL POLITICS
The earned attention on Federal politics comes at the cost of attention taken away from local politics. Many actions of local politicians are so scattered and under reported and seldom seriously challenged as to support a quasi fiefdom. The work of local politicians should be to promote the interests of a majority of residents within their district. Many examples abound, for example in the Southern Tier of NYS, of promotion of big-money interests at the expense of local residents. Draining money from local communities and toward interests outside of our region is poor governance.
HEALTH AS PERTAINS TO PEOPLE OR CAPITALISM?
The topic this morning on C-Span probably effects most people in the USA. The disappearance of so-called middle class jobs happened after chain stores had obliterated locally owned small businesses. Any politician who couldn’t connect the dots didn’t deserve to be in office due to ignorance. But that so many politicians have become wealthy during this era seems to confirm corruption. The worship of Reagan, then Obama, then Trump, seems to be the story of withering compliance and enabling by the general public.
POLITICAL MONOPOLY
Will bureaucrats and politicians use the 2nd Amendment to quell the 1st Amendment?—
IF THE STATEMENT IS OBVIOUS IT MAY BE A FACT
At the risk of “stating the obvious” which in the mind of some people is a FACT, in our oligarchy we have the choice of supporting this anomaly of government by either carrying a burdensome national debt or by each individual carrying debilitating personal debt. Another option is to challenge obscene wealth, fraud, and corruption.
DRAWING UP THE LADDER AFTER THE CLIMB TO POWER
C-Span hosted a number of relevant topics this morning that relate to a majority of the public. One topic is use of law enforcement to ostensibly tax poverty using policies that persecute by law, people with a lesser ability to pay fines and fees.
DEMOCRACY ENTHUSIASM
One is charmed to hear so much from talking heads on state-influenced-corporate-owned MSM and wonders what took so long. The topic of democracy has so often been interlinked erroneously to hierarchical capitalism that one looks forward to the spectacle of capitalistic hierarchical MSM dancing on the head of the pin of this topic. So far its quite entertaining. It should boost the flagging ratings of MSM.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
THE WOOL OVER YOUR EYES…
…may not be as noticeable if not for the hilarious 2020 Presidential campaign in which, as James Carville suggests, anything goes, and having emerged from the fugue (the psychiatric kind) of the Trump Administration. People may be peaking out from under that sheep’s cover that has been irreverently placed upon We The People using a tormented type of governance style, as said people wonder where they are and the reason they are accepting the absurd.
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?
MONOPOLY AND SUPREMACY
Full circle closure from the days of Radio Free Europe to get FACTS to those living under Communism can be identified in what could be called Radio Free America to do the same in Capitalist USA. Why are Russian hackers uncovering info ignored by state-influenced-corporate-owned MSM that supports the American Capitalist system? A Free Press promotes democracy.
