THEORY OR PRACTICE?
Theories of democracy rather than practice of democracy seems the bait-and-switch of hierarchy. Hierarchy, please recall, would naturally oppose democratic practice.
LIBERTY AND THE WILD
That women have been trained to suspect our own viability is the practice of patriarchy. For instance, the demeaning way Trump speaks about women bolsters his personal ego at the cost of female vitality. We find this attitude sometime violently so and sometime mired within religious restraint, from too many places in hierarchical Establishment. Women can fill their requisite space as intended by the Creator without defining from others.
RELIGION AND POLITICS
Institutionalized religion seems to have permeated the US government. This may or may not be beneficial to We The People, but an anomaly seems worthy of note. In our Christian nation, one wonders how many of We The People have read straight through, the Old Testament and New Testament. Most of us have been subjected to highlights from the Old Testament, when which highlights in themselves can be a type of propaganda.
LISTEN TO YOUR GRIFTER
Apparently grifters will say it as often as possible, hoping it will begin to sound true.
MOCKERY IN ELECTIONS
One believes Marianne Williamson will face the challenge of suppression as a Democratic Presidential candidate, by the Democratic Corporate Party. The US Constitution doesn’t sanction electoral control of elections by Party Bosses, but that is where we find ourselves in 2023. Even if the Democratic Primary voters choose Marianne Williamson, the Democratic Corporate Bosses will shoe-horn onto the ballot Joe Biden. This is diabolic in relationship to free and fair elections.
DICTATORSHIP OR DEMOCRACY?
Some people have pointed out that “we are not a democracy”, we are a Constitutional republic. Neither are we a dictatorship, but our Constitutional republic feels currently to function as a dictatorship based on bribes.
MAY DAY
May Day is an American holiday. Who knew?
https://www.rbth.com/lifestyle/330314-may-first-in-russia –May 1 became International Labor Day after the tragedy at Haymarket Square in Chicago, Illinois, USA. In early May 1886, demonstrations were held in Chicago and other US cities demanding an eight-hour working day. It might seem a no-brainer today, but in the late 19th century many tycoons did not believe that workers had the right to sleep.
FREE PRESS, HEALTH CARE, AND BIDEN
With the Biden announcement about running for the Presidency in 2024, several thoughts come to mind.
WHY WISTLEBLOWERS?
American foreign policy seems to have devolved into military promotion and action. This is in compliance to benefits for The Military-Industrial Complex. The Military-Industrial Complex is the engine for world-wide oligarchy. Military action has replaced declared war, giving unspecified bureaucrats and politicians ability to wage war according to personal whim (The Bush/Cheney “War in Iraq” is an example), and relieves Congress of its responsibilities the better to pretend to outrage and innocence. Our bureaucratically-labeled “Proxy War with Russia in Ukraine” is an insult to intelligence.
RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION OR EGO TRIP?
C-Span is a resource that is as good as it gets on the topic of transparency. Without information a democracy doesn’t function. And by the way, as heard on a Bill Moyers Show, government don’t do democracy, people do.
COOPERATION OR COMPETITION?
The concept that “we’re only human” can be used as an excuse or an inspiration. The system of capitalism has been described as offering the greatest good to the most people. This may be true until it isn’t.
