TIME TO INVESTIGATE INANITY
Today C-Span at around 2:30PM, is airing a Congressional Q&A on the topic of US Drone Strikes. This is an eyeopener on a topic about which most people have a passing awareness and little more. Transparency is stressed by such groups as the ACLU, and defended against by some politicians. That drones are used by one nation against the citizens of another seems to be beyond the pale.
FREEDOM ISN’T FREE
Too often freedom for one person comes at the liability of another. Socialism could be a label to suggest balancing away from exploitation of this type, if it must be labeled. Another phrase could be respect for natural, human, and civil rights. Either way, everyone should have a voice in defining freedom, not only the hierarchy.
DEMAND FREE MARKETS
Breathtaking is any presumption that attack on nature can be perpetrated without an accompanying attack on humanity. This is emblematic of hierarchical Establishment indoctrination that has urged humanity to identify with corporations rather than nature.
EVIDENCE OF INTELLIGENCE
Evidence of intelligence……a 2-way street—–What is the responsibility from humanity to reciprocate?
TYRANNY BY LIFESTYLE
In the ’80’s, when Trickle Down was just beginning to be inculcated by Establishment and the wonders of globalism were envisioned (how did that turn out?) a derogatory put-down to people who were skeptical, was the label Luddite.
FREE PRESS IN THE BALANCE
The cash sent overseas to “save democracy” would be better used to uplift We The People. Knowledge is power and the American people possess neither.
DIVERSITY BEYOND BLACK AND WHITE
We must understand the depravity of health of species that must be suggested by a 70% decrease in wild animals since 1970. Diversity is precisely that which maintains the best possibility for health in animals and plants, and unencumbered by interference by humanity, which is the definition of wild, seems to suggest support from natural sources such as, for example, The Creator in any way one imagines She/It/He/Cause-And-Effect.
INDIGENOUS = HUMANITY
Simplicity probably offers the most clarity and this is FACTual in language as much as in anything. Is it a coincidence that the English-speaking world has been at the forefront of exploitation and imperialism and that the language is intricate, while less aggressive societies are known to have fewer words but perhaps with more emphasis on emotion? Who knows, but this is an interesting topic of thought on a dreamy Fall day. May we still be capable of dreaming.
CLIMATE CHANGE, HURRICANE, AND WAR
Some people see the origin of Creation less as a man with a beard and wearing a night gown, standing in the clouds, and more like cause and effect orchestrated by each individual. A C-Span caller the other day said the hurricane was a judgment on Florida for shipping migrants to Martha’s Vineyard.
INCOHERENT LEADERSHIP
C-Span hosted a call-in discussion in which at 7:30AM a woman expressed a view (paraphrase) that we need a people’s counsel that approved or disapproved the laws and policies by politicians. If principles in the US Constitution hadn’t been so defiled by institutionalized greed and corruption in the electoral process enforced through Citizens United, our system would be representative in which politicians had as their first concern, We The People.
LOOK BEHIND THE CURTAIN
One is under informed about the details of the following story about Brazil to analyze the contents. But where one finds symptoms it is logical to look for a disease. We know democracy is diminishing at an alarming rate around the globe ad most markedly in the supposed bastion of democracy called the USA. Hierarchy are gaining wealth at the expense of the majority of humanity and this is explained by “running government like a business”. Climate Change is too obvious to be denied by any other than the most dedicated environmental exploiters. Climate Change is a price paid by Earth and humanity to promote hierarchical Establishment financial interests.
ESTABLISHMENT WAGONS HITCHED TO COMMUNITY STARS
Hierarchical Establishment types may have begun to notice the success when locally-supportive people work plans for lifestyle that are logical, effective, and fair. Sensible would be a change away from the depravity of capitalistic process toward more people-friendly systems. Instead it feels like Establishment is attempting to hitch their wagon to the stars of local community.
WEIRD NATION
A realistic look at ourselves needs a strong dose of comedy. Views that are totally bogus are given too much credence without humor.
