MYTH AND NEWS
Myth can be seen as a psychic view of life as experienced throughout humanity. Considering recent incorrect political polling information that was broadcast by MSM, can hierarchical news reports accomplish the same end of internalized mass myth?
WHEN COMPETITION IS AMONG CONSUMERS
The topic of the awkward Trump tariff has roiled in one’s mind for some time, and it is mystifying that few others notice this albatross around the neck of the US public. Typically a tariff is imposed in order to balance American imports and exports to enhance exports over imports to accomplish the end of cash flowing into the USA rather than out of the USA. The US governing body duopoly of Democrats and Republicans have collaborated over years to send manufacturing and jobs overseas. And so to place a tax upon imports accomplishes nothing other than further taxing the US consumer. One has heard bureaucrats ‘splain away the Trump tariff by saying it was implemented for geo-political reasons. This charmingly snarky ‘splanation is typical of the jargon that passes for news these days. And too many of the public smiles and nods and says “oh, okay”.
EVIDENCE OF INTELLIGENCE
Evidence of intelligence……a 2-way street—–What is the responsibility from humanity to reciprocate?
PATRIARCHAL PRIVILEGE OF VOTIING
We need to remember to look behind the curtain at the mechanics of Establishment. This is where the control and privilege grows.
INFRASTRUCTURE OF TYRANNY
Ideas and tools for local-community solidarity and strength as relates to lifestyle including financial issues—
INTRINSIC NATURAL RIGHTS
King Charles may be sufficiently aware to “feel the weight of history”. This is good news.
SERIOUS ABOUT NATURAL RIGHTS
If manufacturing and industry is the goal, we’re possibly on the right track. If the goal is viable life on Earth, a few changes are in order. Natural rights encompass people and nature, because we are of The Creator, in whatever way each imagines Her/Him, It, or Cause-And-Effect.
IS DESPAIR THE GOAL?
Considering the happy profits captured by Pentagon contractors reported in the commondreams link below, a thoughtful person will weigh this good fortune against the resulting human deaths that are inevitable in war zones, lost opportunities for upgrading of lifestyle for American citizens rather than producing war machines, and use of the US military personnel as placeholders who have figuratively tread water for the length of time of their service when meaningful activities could have been supported instead.
MINION OR CITIZEN?
News reports suggest that Obamacare/ACA must be addressed, speaking to subsidies for increasing premiums for the public. This is universal health care but inclusive of retaining and rewarding middlemen. That we are frightened of universal health care because it is socialism, seems a definition of inanity. ACA/Obamacare appears to be a desultory and complicated type of disease care that retains privatization and pays off middlemen as the health care for people deteriorates and becomes un-affordable.
WHY CARE ABOUT NEWS?
Media reports to the public what media wants the public to believe. Does anyone still believe the USA enjoys a Free Press rather than a corporate-owned-state-influenced media? Combine this view with hierarchical capitalism in which Speech is confused with money, Add on the unusual approach to democracy defined as “running government like a business” that feels similar to organized crime on a continuum of which end the USA may be approaching, and questions may come to mind.
COMPARISON BY POLICY RATHER THAN NATION
Different news stories taken separately tell a different tale when compared with each other. Indoctrination of the public into ostensible teams supports reports about similar authoritarianism from said nations, rather than focusing on the overarching corruption in the systems of both.
WHITE SUPREMACY IS A STATE OF MIND
C-Span hosted discussions from the general public that are more pertinent to reality than most of anything heard from our so-called leaders.
BAIT AND SWITCH IN POLITICS
The good news about the state of governance in the USA is that more of the electorate is beginning to pay attention and question those who are in power.
SPEECH, PRESS, AND RELIGION
Some fragments of institutionalized religion seem to be about the business of diminishing the position of women. One has long been impressed with the story of Hildegard von Bingen and the legacy she has left the world. One has considered it fortunate that she was never challenged by institutionalized hierarchy as a witch, which was the fate of so many women throughout history.
