FACTS ARE FUN
The American public deserve democracy in our Constitutional republic rather than the cesspool we have. China is also a republic that is communistic while the USA is a republic that is capitalistic…..Hmmm….
COMMONS
In what is advertised as the world’s democracy called the USA, one wonders at the reason for Establishment censorship of comedians.
THINK
THINK
One watched on TV 60 years ago, the genuine March on Washington. In 2023 apparently the notoriety generated what are commonly called hate crimes. In 1963 such crimes abound.
MONEY AND DEMOCRACY
Imperialism is the story of oligarchs. These privileged exploiters hide behind government policy that is enabled by their campaign donations and lobbies. They ‘splain their worth to the public as philanthropists; after robbing humanity and nature of the value of both.
RACKETEERING
Are strategies in governing manifesting as racketeering publicly, as some politicians are acting out openly, the once quiet systems?
CURTAIN OF INDOCTRINATION
A Free Press is illusive in the USA in 2023. Collaboration between business interests and government currently control a preponderance of what passes as news; and censorship seems used to silence diverse views.
LESSON OF HAWAII
Hawaii is an example of colonization in miniature, starting from more than 2 centuries ago and ending in an ostensible economic paradise. Lost in this imperial success story is nature and humanity. Everyone understands and is tempted by convenience and financial gain that clouds reality about the end story of exploitation.
AI REPLACEMENT OF CEO’S
CEO’s per capita absorb more wealth from a company than do workers per capita. Logically AI should replace upper management rather than workers.
SOUL AND REALITY
In the end, all that’s left is soul. Soul and The Earth are inseparable as is the soul and people.
ENFORCED EXPOSURE
The C-Span discussion about the Korean War was ushered in with an apparently government-inspired movie staging the pro-US perspective of our participation. The movie itself was a delightful reminder of one’s childhood in Upstate NY, where during so many auditorium-movie displays, students were mandated to watch hours of pro-capitalistic views that effectively indoctrinated into capitalism as democracy.
MEDIA AWARE
One risks being wearisome because, as says Bernie Sanders, I keep talking about it because it keeps happening (paraphrase). This time a subliminal message emits from Dr. Phil.
TRUTH
Nick Timiraos speaks to the terror by the Feds of deflation, which they abhor because people anticipate lower prices as prices deflate, and so put off buying products, and so a spiral of unemployment is set into place. The reason US workers were expected to accept globalism was ‘splained with lower product costs
GOVERNING AS CAMPAIGNING
Governor Hochul has put into place an inducement for sex work. Sex work should be decriminalized. But more to the point, we need universal health care that would be less costly and more inclusive and that could serve more of We The People, including sex workers.
HIERARCHICAL DOUBLE TALK
US imperialism is based upon the notion of “spreading democracy” around the globe as the US inflicts capitalism which is hierarchical and anti-democratic upon American citizens at home. Reagan accosted America with Reaganomics so now Biden in a strange twist of emulation chooses to hook his star to the “Trickle Down” principles and has self-labeled policies as Bidenomics. So Biden can inflict “Trickle Down” without saying the offensive reality.
PEOPLE ELICIT DEMOCRACY
Gratitude to Bill Huston for reminding that the delicate topic of Home Rule has been incidental to CELDF, which offers a democracy school. In other words, this group reminds We The People that human rights are relevant, and how best to secure them.
