It's not news

The continual local and national news programs that believe that consumerism, product display, and promotions for shops, restaurants, and events are news.

Neither is dedicating two full days to the travails of a political prisoner in egypt at the international cop27 oil lobby conference in Cairo Egypt by democracy now. 

The main problem with the type of news that caters to human interest news is that it plays to general authoritarian silence of news relevant to the major national and international policies which influence common people in any nation. There is a belief fostered in authoritarian cultures that what happens in government/national policy making are not interesting nor relevant to common citizens.

Yes, we are.

Tom Homan, some kind of czar in this fascist government, states, "president Trump can do whatever he wants," as if America has reached some sort of pinnacle of success. It hasn't. It just goes to show that the destruction of any semblance to order has begun and will continue. If there is one thing that America was built on from the very beginning is the principle that political power in America is divided into three branches in order to keep any one branch from becoming dictatorial. It's fundamental to Americas form of representative democracy. Whether elected as in representation in Congress or elected as enforcer/ administration in the Executive branch or appointed by those representatives as in the judicial branch, it all comes down to no one person or branch can be dictator without breaking the system. The system is now broken. Trump has already made America in the image of 1775, king George in the driver's seat. Trump has engineered the Second American Rev...

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of anti defamation league, let the cat out of the bag about why he thinks anti Zionism is anti-semitic. It appears to him, I guess, and all zionists that anti Zionism , as professed by liberal and progressive pro Palestinian protestors, are some how denying Israel, which supposedly represents all Jews worldwide, evidently, denies Jews the "right to self-determination" which according to him is a universal standard. So..anti Zionism is prejudicial and anti semitic is making Judaism victims of hate. He said all that with a straight face. Let me say this. If Zionism is a religion then it shouldn't have any more right to exist than any other religion but if Zionism is a political, social, earth based movement, like ISIS or Al Qaida, or Scientology, or the Knights Templar of medieval times, or Proud Boys, or Crips, or any other organization that utilizes force, coercion, corruption, and violence along with the belief that god, nation or insanity ...

Our animal minds

-
  I spent years on the railroad assembling a great American working-class hero inside myself, I spent enough years in college assimilating, all the great ideas intellectuals use to keep from living on farms. I spent enough years in the classroom teaching the over enculturated spoiled american youth, answering why george washington never smiled, or if the republic is only god's house for a while, (god being a natural born transient), Yet only I knew that inside my mouth,  filled with a plastic smile (rather than a wooden one), Like washington was said to have, my tongue completely tied up in lies, lies, lies like many presidents yet to come, until one day i simply walked away, wrapped up in all my convictions, predilections, and illusions, saying to anyone who'll listen- god and country and the gold standard are only delusions, the only real reasons we can't get beyond our animal minds, any real solutions.

I hear people who criticize America say, " America isn't perfect, but I love America and with America I will stay." I'm like that. But when I say it, I'm talking about two different Americas, the one that Trump wants to make great again and the one I was born in, travel in, live in, and that I will die in. That America and the one Trump wants to make again are not the same. Quite different, actually. Yes, I went to public school and got fed the world through the eyes of a certain kind of blindness, learned all about the English colonies, the American revolution, the civil war, the Industrial Revolution, all that that made it seem America was special in such a way that the rest of the world has been just sitting around forever, throughout time, just sitting around waiting for whatever America was going to do about it or anything at all. America was the center of the world and the world was center of the universe and the only thing bigger than that was God with a ...

The world is filled with irony.

The world is filled with irony. 2025 is a plan to strip federalism down, laying bare the authorities that rely on the power of the same federal gov they claim needs to go. Democrats now attacking elon musks sticking his paws on private information is a little like complaining that elon musk isnt the right fascist to do the fascist job. My god! The wolf is at the door, and to say it's the wrong wolf, is another example of democrat weakness. They worship the process rather than what the process has produced. Peace loving people shouldn't protest the nuclear bomb and then, protect the right to produce one. Sorry Ro Khanna, the wolf was at the door on Oct 8, 2023, when you took up the "israel has the right to defend itself" and the hidden fascist, " and palestinians dont have that right because, after all, they are israeli property. Its all been about money, ownership and the right/wrong of power. The democratic party has to die, preferably at its own hands. Let'...

All history is indeed the experimental refutation of the theory of the so-called moral order of things,—Nietzsche We, so much want the world to have a moral order, when it is actually composed of integrating, not opposing social disintegration, an anti-morality order imposed on everyone. Humans have perceived, attempted to perceive, a sort of mechanized version of living, with the centuries old development of presuming we, humans, are the ultimate culmination of change (evolution), if not the apple of god's eye, or at least, Israel is. All of this has been set up to thwart the complex fears and mysteries of life, as we see it in religion and politics as resolutions, merely theory rather than surety. We all try so hard to make sense of the nonsensical. Why does a right to lifer, so profoundly passionate about the fetus and the unborn of their neighbor, so quick to be immune to the suffering of those that their nation (not God) believes is an enemy? It's a leftover of extreme p...

Mike Huckabee, former evangelist and current ambassador to Israel suggests President Trump should drop an atomic bomb on Iran and should listen to the "voice from heaven". At first, mention of dropping an atom bomb on Iran scared me but then I was relieved to hear there would have to be a "voice from heaven" too, realizing, laughing at myself, that'll never happen, the President of the United States won't ever get that phone call or text message because He doesn't listen to anybody except Stephen Miller and some other people higher up. Then I was scared again because I understood "listening to heaven" would play into his hands like clay into bowls, cups, and saucers. He's dishonest enough to say He actually got the message. Yes, I worry a lot these days. For the world, for the victims, and yes, for myself, too. This is the biggest "change" in my lifetime, and I'm a 1960's survivor, surviving meaning I got out of that...

More love, less anti-abortion, please

-
 Another anti-abortionist on the loose with a gun after shooting his enemies, proving once again that life ends, rather than begins, with conception, at the same time innocence does. The anti-abortionist philosophy breaks down after that into fragments of phony patriot, real racist, fake empathy regarding who outside of themselves is valuable, and which matters more, their belief that they represent their impotent god who, i think, once said, leave the fucking punishments to Me, and His son who said, love is better than anything else, or if not love, then, at least, compassion ( but leave the punishments to My Father). Or, in my words, quit forcing your own beliefs on anyone else. Don't say science proves conscious life begins at conception because the myth that mary conceived God's child. Believe what you want to believe but take your violence somewhere else, preferably home, wherever "heart" is. In an essay before this i said religion is behind what is wrong in the ...

A General Strike?

http://portside.org/2017-02-06/whose-strike THIS IS A GOOD PIECE,  A General Strike?  'GET SOBER FOLKS' . I'm interested in movement organizing strategy... lots of people discussing this topic right now.  If  the 9th Circuit does right, will Trump ignore the decision.....sort of Andy Jackson reborn from the Bank Fight and the Indian cases of the mid 1830s?   I watched the NPR show tonight on the Oklahoma bombing of 1995. Amazing how much force the cops used and the resources they had, which turned them all into boneheads on steroids who drove McVeigh nuts. 168 Dead! The way things are going, that Reichstag moment could come sooner than we may have anticipated.  Labor is too weak in numbers and political strength to lead the United Front, and the broader post Woman's March movement is too inchoate at this point to fully predict how it will emerge?  Yet, I'm optimistic.  I have visited or done a little work with a few different ...
