George Santos-The Newest Member of the Liars Club, USA

-

George Santos.

The lord works in strange ways.

George Santos gets elected based on a made up past and present.

We are incensed more and more as george santos past is exposed in such a way as to make it seem he represents the worst of politics, the worst of liars, the worst of representative democracy.

We are insensed. Progressive, radical, revolutionary alike. Common people alike. Embarrased, humiliated those who supported him, elected him.

We are incensed. The news media feeds us the straw dog and we want revenge, matches to strike the flame.

Where does all this self-righteousness come from?

Backstory, we just "celebrated" twenty years of iraq war, in two years we will be inundated with the re discovery of the vietnam war, almost seven years seven years since 2016 election of donald trump, eight years after the election of the disappointing social worker, first black president in us history, sixteen years after the saxaphone playing, charm of bill clinton, after the mediocre actor, friendly neo-liberal ronald reagan, and the list goes on.

While uncovering the twenty years in iraq we can discover on our own the complicit democrats, such as joe biden, the complicit powerful elites of bush, cheney, rumsfeld, powell lies and deceit.

In 2016, the election of donald trump despite persistent sexual, economic, truthless promiscuity, and some of us say, it wasnt me, and yet, after four years of more obvious democratic deterioration and legal mishaps, our ex president has not suffered any consequences, in fact will attempt once again to resurect.

So there it is, in a nutshell. No one needs to know the horrible ancient history of the empire we live in, modern in-our-lifetime circomstances bely the fact of the type of power elites we elect, not to represnet our best foor forward but in reality, our own self- interest and greed. Either we, as americans, are the most gullible people in the world, the most ignorant, the most fearful or the most arrogant, self-interested ( read selfish), least compassionate, and least moral.

Progressives, liberals, radicals, revolutionaries, don't despair, you've spent hundreds of years and have failed to build even a semblance of a society that bends as well as stands strong; works and actually demonstrates real social and ethnic change; you continue to deny the fact that after three hundred years of racial divide, little has changed, that after three hundred years of imperialistic, colonialist, militaristic adventures and destruction, nothing has changed, that after three hundred years of economic disparity, elite ownership of resources, climate, land use destruction, nothings changed.

Theres nothing to be proud of. Liars and Liars have come and gone, most many times more horrible than George Santos.

The problem: continually being reliant on the patron mentality. Why wont the government move forward? Why doesn't it bend? Because we like the liar more than the dreary, thoughts surrounding the truth.

Don't Obey, Resist

  Don't Obey   It’s the people who obey the orders who scare me Not the ones who give them, those you can ignore. It’s the obedient, whose conscience is devoid of reasoning. For when consent is based on authority alone Freedom and true democracy cannot reign, REAL Democracy is merely giving temporary consent, each time, Not relegating power, forever

Stop Standing Around

Stop Standing Around Here we are. We, the american people get to play the german people, get to dress up our consciousness for genocide denial. Are there even words strong enough, we've spent our collective hubris already. Some 13 or so saudi terrorists crashed planes into the towers, the pentagon, a field in pennsylvania and the people of afghanistan paid the price, the people of iraq were thrown in for good measure and last week america threw in with the twisted dictatorial netanyahu. America is Revenge. Saudi Arabia never saw a bomb, a plane, tank, had its water shut off, its food supply, its white flowing robe empire stripped clean. This week we supported and encouraged the wrong nation to do what it has wanted since 1948. The arabs knew it in 1967 and 1973, that the zionists have eyed the entire region. The Zionist are not the Taliban nor Hamas, though they are not any more exemplary. Their treatment of women is just as foul, their egalitarianism still bound by prejudices form

Conversation and Change #4 by Kraig Scwartz History of World Social Forum

-
                              World Social Forum   After the Cold War ended neoliberal capitalism , no longer fettered by the Soviet Union, expanded to all parts of the world.   Whether it be farmland in Ethiopia, or the fisheries of our great ocenas, the world increasingly came under the control of unbridled “free market” capitalism and the corporations that serve and benefit from those markets.   Under the sway of neoliberalism, governments deregulated their economies, cut back or eliminated social spending,   pushed aside labor unions and promoted “free trade.” Perhaps the major economic hallmark of this post Cold War era was the expansion of world trade through the WTO, NAFTA and other regional trade organizations.  The yearly World Economic Forum held at Davos, Switzerland embraced the  world-wide neoliberal capitalist order.  Yet,  strong resistance to this push for the commodification of the world emerged in various parts of the world, most notably by the indigenous  Zapatis
