GOVERNMENTAL FRAUD
Direct governmental transfer of cash to fraudulently-intended individuals is only one type of abuse by our government for the big-money campaign donors. We The People could use some TLC, as suggested in the Preamble.
HE KNOW HOW TO PLAY AMERICANS
C-Span–9:10AM–caller speaking about Trump–“He know how to play Americans”.
PRC AND THE USA ARE BOTH REPUBLICS
Debates have become quite artificial and set up as a stage for Establishment. We need a debate with candidates who have different ideas aside from capitalistic Establishment. Debates are as structured as are elections due to corruption and money in the process. Politicians must have the ability to defend their policies in the presence of fellow candidates. Currently we have nothing but a reality show maintained for entertainment rather than informational value.
NATURAL OPULENCE
C-Span hosted a discussion about water this morning. Water is as important as are bees to the survival of everything.
WAR, WATER, AND ELECTRICITY
Use of the word “forgets” (link below) is extremely diplomatic. Real intellectual gymnastics are needed to ignore NATO intrusion onto the borders of Russia. At the same time one condemns the Russian invasion into Ukraine, childish trust is required to overlook the same from NATO toward Russian security.
REAGAN CONCEPTS WERE A NATIONAL SECURITY RISK
We still are subjected to Conservative propaganda of the Reagan wonder years that were a lie then and are rewritten history today. The harm to We The People is real and the time needed for the public to understand the extent of the lie, and then to act accordingly, may be long. Denial seems to be the reason for ongoing Reagan worship in the same way as is the denial in ongoing Trump worship.
RECLAIM LIFE
Because a better USA is possible, some people challenge a culture in which we know the price of everything and the value of nothing.—-
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.
FRIGGED SYSTEM
In a republic run similarly to a Pyramid Scheme and not a democracy, the euphemism for price gouging appears to be inflation.
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.
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.
IT’S LIKE THEY’RE ABOVE THE LAW
Legalized corruption in elections byway of Citizens United seems to have produced the culture in which politicians don’t think they are above the law, they are above the law.
Big-money campaign donors have highly questionable influence over local politicians. One doesn’t suggest money was an influence in the following scenario. But what happened to the governmental suggestion that politicians should avoid the appearance of corruption?
IF YOU DON’T USE IT YOU LOSE IT
Consider the progress in terms of good health, peace, and equality over just 100 years. It is almost impossible to imagine that I was born only 30 years after the ratification of Suffrage for Women. That NOW is only about 50 years old is even as fascinating. That the right for a woman to control her own body in 2022 is on the line is disturbing; but compared to the journey, just a bump in the road. It is a reminder that freedom and autonomy is each a journey, not a destination. The ERA could be an important goal for young women going forward. The success of the past, emerging from the deepest rights violations, reminds that the successes can be even sweeter. Loss of gains made were quite predictable to those not heady with hubris of the freedom and autonomy handed to them on silver platters.
