COMMUNISM AND CAPITALISM
Censorship by capitalistic proponents doesn’t permit ideas to infiltrate into the notice of Americans. As one who has as little use for communism as for capitalism because they both seem hierarchical, yet censorship of ideas seem the danger.
LAWFARE
A point can be made that lawfare has been perfected against the US public over decades, as laws are passed that support transfer of the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%.
CONSUMER OR CITIZEN?
One has noticed that Openthebooks appear to lean Conservative. The militarization of local law enforcement appears to promote hierarchical interests both Democratic and Republican. Similar to foreign military involvement of the US, nation against nation hurts all local community members for the benefit of oligarchs who use patriotism as the reason for war when it is more about personal oligarchical wealth retention.
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.
JUST BY TELLING THE TRUTH
Is Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. choosing a new Presidential-candidate campaign message?
SUPERFLUOUS STANDARD OF VIOLENCE
We might consider, while contemplating increasing poor mental health in the USA of individuals, the inane state of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment aggression and violence in its varied forms.
IDEALS
C-Span airs at about 6:50AM a different entry into Student Cam 2023 (www.studentcam.org). The ideas are relevant and the idealism is admirable. Is it too cynical to mention that when students take on predatory educational-loan pay back, idealism may be replaced with cold reality. One hopes not.
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.
20 YEARS OF WEALTH TRANSFER
Apparently this is the 20th anniversary of the “War in Iraq”. Many callers to C-Span expressed belated regrets for this anomaly of a military action by the USA. Better late than never. Many people were vehement in condemnation of this ill-fated military self-indulgence in the time and place. We also remember the media frenzy over “freedom fries” and “supporting our President”. Too bad our Presidents don’t support We The People.
MIDDLEMEN OF WWIII
We will find the middlemen between the producers and the consumers, “earning” wealth.
WHAT WE MUSTN’T TALK ABOUT
Is dictatorship when open reporting and citizen communication is stifled? Money isn’t Speech but can stifle Free Speech. Why aren’t more people talking about Citizens United?
NATURAL CAPITAL
We need to remember reality, especially on the meaning of capital. Here are a few topics toward that end.
ENTITLEMENT vs EARNED BENEFIT
How many workers wonder when their Social Security Earned Benefit for which they pay, turned into a media-defined Social Security Entitlement. Actually the transformation was over a much shorter time frame than was, for example, the transfer of the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%.
DE-GROWTH AND REALITY
Unless we can speak FACTually rather than according to Establishment talking points, reality will allude us.
GENERATORS OR STADIUMS?
An important and ignored topic is the negligence from elected officials and bureaucrats toward the local community members in the USA. Some politicians seem to cater to the whims of big-money interests using the deflection of the importance of the economy. The so-called economy envisioned by these bureaucrats and elected officials seem to be limited to the transfer of the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%.
