Another example pf American Media's Shameless Propaganda Ploys

-

From 2016

Has anyone ever heard of Willets Point? American business and politicians respond to blight, homeless, and business failures, throwing money away. There must be more of these, I betcha.

I always wonder what happened to Americas ghettoes and industrial stagnation, do you?

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 ...

If you look, meaning read, or know, about cosmology

-
If you look, meaning read, or know, about cosmology, and new theories of universes, and black holes, you'd realize that infinity and God and everything we can see through the lens of both telescopes and microscopes have nothing to do with us. The chances that there is someone like you with almost the exact DNA is both obscure and a surety, that's how random it all is. And how unnecessary any of us are in the real scheme of things. With that in mind, I can say we aren't really a nation of law and order but a cosmology of beliefs, both true and untrue, time worn out traditions and false assumptions and unfortunately there is a small amount of people who are willing to admit this or realize its consequences. Human societies, especially the most authoritarian, those who completely disregard any legitimized law and are skeptical, which they should be, any commonsense law have so bound their citizenry with the ropes of legalities, making it impossible for most common people to ev...

Why Cant I Own a Canadian?

This is brought up to speed from 2010. It clarifies the deranged aspect of believing Old Testament scripture as Gods command, which is the mantra of the Zionists today, as well as Christian evangelists. There will never be humanitarian progress in the world until that book is thrown out along with Mein Kampf but I do suggest that if you are going to believe the Old Testament as the Word of God, then read Mein Kampf and, at least, have a comparison in order to put two supremacist doctrines together. Until supremacist and authoritarian politicians are thrown out, condemned, humanity will continue to sink into a fascist quagmire. Thank You.   A Big new world of irony. The world is irony, the lag hate that comes for opposite intentions. Southland Corp.

Extra- existential

-
lets see if I have this right. Climate change is an existential threat (from here on I'll abbreviate Existential Threat, ET). The United States is the one country that could initiate a solution to that ET and nothing was done for four years going on fifty years to affect that threat. Now, Iran is an ET as far as Israel is concerned. Israel has several dozen nuclear weapons. It wants to penetrate and destroy the deeply buried Fodrow Nuclear Facility and eliminate other potential uranium enrichment sites in Iran that has had nuclear power facilities as long as Israel. The whole question of the use of nuclear weapons (except Hiroshima and Nagasaki) is to threaten then use the weapons against the highest principles of self-defense-against what? - an ET. If every nation that has nuclear weapon technology is going to continue to stockpile them without developing a failsafe recognition of when they should be used, then what's the sense of having them? Thats a rhetorical question, mayb...

Recant the incantation.

-
Recant the incantation. I've been watching and listening to alot of you tube dissenters, but mostly the Young Turks, who I actually like most of the time but recently they had an episode trying to recycle the "I love America, but not what America does" incantation in order to alleviate concerns, I suppose, of regular people who listen to their righteous spiel, yet think they may be anti-American as well as anti-Semitic. Frankly, I don't know what America is. It's kind of like Gertrude Stein's statement about Oakland, "There is no there, there." Don't get me wrong, I like Oakland in the same way I think of America. I lived there and live here in America. I born here, my parents born here, and eventually, as for us all, and I mean all, go back far enough and all our ancestors born somewhere else. Whether by land bridges, boats, by foot path, air, and ambition, we have all come here, tried to live here, made here in spite the unnatural obstacles th...

Living in America is like being a child in a house

-
Living in America is like being a child in a house with many other siblings and a couple of abusive parents, where you think you're a little bit safer since there are 300 + million people, you're a alot less likely to be singled out because the chances you're going to be picked for retribution are a lot less. So you go along, ignore the sounds from the bedroom next to to you, and just hope and pray you'll be lucky this time. It's called the herd we live in but always, like the lottery, always a slim chance the predators will target you. Being an American means Israel can have atomic bombs but another sovereign nation can't have bombs because although Israel repeats it over and over and over again, Iran doesn't have a bomb, like Iraq didn't have a bomb, and would rather not have a bomb, because Americans have been told that Iranians are evil, not just a nation in conflict, like every other nation, like America, Iran is supposed to be controlled or allo...

Shame

-
Shame Here's one problem with democrats and democrat constituents. Shame. I don't feel sorry for those who don't vote because they are ashamed to vote on benefit type of issues. Medicade, Snap. Social Security, Free public education. Regulations to protect the health, and, possibly the most important, vote to protect the constitutional rights of due process and justice for all. If you can't arise above lessor issues, such as the ones that only affect you, to unite over the most important issues of your lifetime, then so be it. Don't be ashamed. Being on food stamps, other benefits, disability payments, homeless, because you are a part of this society as much as anyone. The truth has become, along with freedom of speech, like a sack full of kittens thrown into the swamp. There is plenty of reactive, oppositional talk to every notorious and anti-humanitarian political lesson out there, but, sadly, we are trapped in what scientists might describe as a heat dome, trans...

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 ...

Miscellaneous

 It is inevitable that countries whose social umbrella groups have depended on US aid to support poor, economically oppressed sections of their population are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to getting or not getting support from the United States. Those monies are rarely "discoverable" or able to be traced. If money really got to the people or things that it was destined for, it would be a miracle. Besides, people in the world who suffer have to learn that they have power and reliance on superpower "gifting" is not a power. America does not foster democracy in these programs, they are offered with all sorts of conditions, like "DON'T Complain.  Imagine if all the people here in the USA who have been laid off, threatened, and are truly suffering because of cuts in their survival-money supply- took to the streets to protest. Then you would have the start of a revolution but instead, they go home or go away or hide like ostriches with their heads in the ...

The More things change the more they remain the same

Critique on the Revolutions Reported or Be Careful What You Ask For. I've been critical of the so called 'revolutions' taking place around the globe recently, including the Occupy movement of a couple of years ago. The so-called social media revolutions because they were built on the availability of social media to engage many people that may not have ever been engaged. As we've seen the revolutions in Northern Africa slip from the news, the Occupy Movement slip from having any relevance at all, and Egypt, Syria, Ukraine, and other nation states, some newsworthy and some not, slip into and out of chaos, my criticism seems well founded. I'm only critical of how all these mass movements became reported, analyzed, and prognosticated by the media which supposedly supported or reported on them. We have reached a point in our history where mass media (free press) has been accepted as the main stay of a free society, such as we like to describe ours, without any real criti...
