Our New Atheist American ruling class

The Catholic Church in the USA - its upper hierarchy - long ago made its peace with idolatrous " patriotism " and ugly militarism ( in the manner of Cardinal Spelman ) In Latin America the Church is not so out of touch with the working class and the long suffering poor. And yet the mainstream news media in the United States is relentless in its over-vilification of the Catholic Church, its crude Catholic bashing , branding it a force for HATE in the world. Oddly enough I suspect our ruling class plutocracy is NOT influenced at all by Catholic social philosophy ( recall Pope Francis damning Wall St. greed ) or Christianity in general . They actually embrace the snobby New Atheism - which is contemptuous even of Orthodox Jews ( more and more cynical and disillusioned with Zionism ). The American ruling class will only USE religion. They wink at it ONLY when it stupefies the masses, not when it tries to make LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR a reality.
Does Ayn Rand's " Virtue of Selfishness " inspire courage and valor in working class soldiers fighting our coming dirty wars ?
Our plutocracy will suffer no competition in worldly power from God Almighty ! Vanity and egoism can also motivate militant atheism.

My dead friend's wild Irish wisdom : " Life sucks and then you die "

Trump’s State of the Union address: A spectacle of reaction and militarism

" A long period of rot " . That was my old friend Ed Maguire thinking about the future of the USA way back in 1973. Ed died of a heart attack just before he turned 40 in 1990.
I don't know of ANY cure for depression in the later years. Cheap red wine might be as effective as dreamy metaphysical fantasy . My niece -now in her mid thirties- just had a first child, beautiful baby girl - a prescription for hope, I guess.


           There is solace in the thinking of the Roman philosopher Lucretius . But I can't get over his ending that beautiful epic poem " On the Nature of Things " with those last horrible images of the great plague in Athens. The last pages of Saint Augustine's " City of God " were less depressing- unless you were among the wicked damned.

             Well another wild Irish common man philosopher friend ( Vietnam War veteran ) of mine said : " Life sucks and then you die " . He died at 63 . He did keep his hospitable refrigerator full of beer. I did scold him - in vain - to stop smoking. He always called me " Radical Ron ".
        

Watch: Congressman Kennedy Delivers Democratic Response To Trump's State Of The Union Speech

A half sentence unmasks this Kennedy as a disciple of the New McCarthyism: " Russia knee-deep in our democracy ". HIS plutocrat " democracy " is not OUR democracy.

                Can the enthusiasm in the streets for the Bernie Sanders campaign and the Donald Trump campaign in 2016 be explained as mass complacency with " democracy " in America ? To be sure , the working class was left behind long before Vladimir Putin could " meddle " with it.

           Within the American working class there is NO SUPPORT for a future war with Russia- or with China or North Korea or Iran . And NO SUPPORT here for the New Colonialism in the Middle East  and " eternal friendship " with Zionist , Apartheid Israel.

        Show me ONE entrenched Democrat who has a serious criticism of American capitalism ?

Flattering race and ethnic groups or flattering generic WOMEN or the gay community - the stock in trade of DNC based " identity politics "- does not raise their standard of living. It just strokes human vanity ( " Aren't WE special ! " ) .

             No way will the ILLIBERAL LIBERAL Democrats have a great comeback in November .

How many Classical High bred conservatives ?

Letter: Leila Chammas: Wishing attitudes in U.S. could be like Classical's

Even a very excellent education at Providence's famous Classical High School can leave the happy and fortunate graduate obtuse and clue-less about economic CLASS as a structural evil of American capitalist society.

 Even our brightest young professionals are WARNED not to go there , not to question the holy of holy : sacrosanct PRIVATE PROPERTY . Not to question the moral legitimacy of " legitimate " wealth. Not to question the vast DUMB military industrial complex, not to question the sanity of endless war, not to question the foreign power ENEMY OF THE MONTH . 

And in First and Second Year Latin class does the teacher ever suggest that " Great Caesar " was quite the war criminal beginning with those Helvetian migrant hordes ? Did not the American general Patton see himself as Great Caesar Reincarnated ? How intoxicating still is military glory - however nefarious your purpose. How many Classical High bred conservatives ?

Justice Ginsburg, in R.I. remarks: Fierce partisanship will not last forever

Is Justice Ginsberg blind to the New McCarthyism promoted by " liberal " Democrats ? Are WE THE PEOPLE to believe that CAPITALIST RUSSIA is still OUR enemy - even depriving us of Wonderful Hillary as the first woman president of the United States ? 

The Supreme Court is hardly a pillar of " democracy " in America. It invariably puts property and Corporate rights above human rights.

 [It was the spread of McCarthyism, a movement that thrived on the fear of communism, that propelled her to become a lawyer in a quest to make society better, Ginsburg said. “I got the idea from that, that being a lawyer was a pretty nifty thing,” she said.]

 How can she not see that the country is moving toward a BIPARTISAN fascism ? Thank God for Edward Snowden !

As Trump, Republicans move to derail Russia probe, Democrats rush to defend FBI

Any future INSANE war with Russia lacks even elementary " propaganda " skills . Are working class Americans foaming at the mouth angry because ( ? ) Russia deprived them of " Wall St. Hillary " as president of the United States and Commander in Chief of nuclear World War III ?

If a young fool is going to get killed in yet another stupid war, MAD helps. My point is that real war preparation in the imperialist centers lacks a " hate " propaganda backbone. I recall an old " March of Time " documentary : " Why Men Fight " . But WHY in 2018 ?

Recall the " Horror of Verdun " in the Great War more than a century ago. A mountain of German and French rotting flesh and skeletons still there today. Over imbecilic PHRASES . THAT was the " war to end all war ! ". Indeed.

Ayn Rand Atheists in the USA want to rule the world ?

Report: Casino Mogul Wynn Faces Sexual Misconduct Allegations

 

 

These Ayn Rand loving atheists have a terrible fear of death . They will never see the face of God ; they can only experience the coldness, the blackness, the emptiness of inter-galactic space - where HOPE is measured at ABSOLUTE ZERO !

 

Dr. Sam Harris belongs to the " holy trinity " of the New Atheists which included the late Christopher Hitchens , author of " God Is Not Great .... how religion poisons everything ". Hitchens supported the criminal invasion and occupation of Iraq- making for a MOST STABLE WORLD today.
Nice to know that the charming " New Atheists " have been embraced by the U.S. military propagandists. Most of America is still Christian !

 

All your " education " is in the service of an evil empire capitalist economic system. You have so much to lose by telling us your real name ? You are not a Christian. You are not very humble. You have no social conscience. So I picture you as an Ayn Rand Zionist, " Father Nelson."
Where do I ever brag about my education or income ? Democratic socialists are rather modest here.

I find it hard to believe that ordinary working class people- or young people of military age- can be aroused to rabid hysteria over EVIL in far away places- forgetting the RATS IN THE WALLS at home. This Orwellian police state - worth dying for ?

Such individuals ARE the plutocracy USA . And they control BOTH the Republican Party and the Democratic Party. Presently there is internal warfare between pro-Hillary Zionists and pro-Trump Zionists. They BOTH want to get us into nuclear World War III . Follow THEM ?

Next war slogan : MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR PLUTOCRACY ?

If Trump Sought To Fire Mueller But Didn't, Does That Mean Mueller's Safe Now?

No working class Americans - knowing the real state of " democracy " in America -lose any sleep over " Russian meddling ". And they will not sacrifice their military age kids to Moloch Colossus American Empire.

    Gore Vidal falsely accused of  anti-Semitism

    EXCERPT below

 [In the demonology of [ Gore ]  Vidal and his not-so-progressive Progressive forbears, Jews in particular loomed large. Vidal’s anti-Semitic rants frequently insinuated that Jews were un-American, more loyal to Israel than the United States. The most notorious of these pieces, “The Empire Lovers Strike Back,” ran in the The Nation on March 22, 1986, and achieved what many would have thought impossible: arousing sympathy for Norman Podhoretz and Midge Decter. It was the kind of piece that should give pause to those who ritually deny that anti-Zionism is rooted in anti-Semitism; it should be read in full. Describing the Podhoretzs as propagandists for Israel (“in its never-ending wars against just about everyone … a predatory people”), he cast Podhoretz, who was born in the United States, as someone who would never become “an ‘assimilated American,’ to use the old-fashioned terminology.” Addressing Decter, he declared, “I’ve got to tell you I don’t much like your country, which is Israel.”]

Rhode Island DCYF and " compassion fatigue "

R.I. Child Advocate details failure of DCYF in death

So Rhode Island school officials are to call DCYF almost immediately after any sex abuse, child abuse incident ? But how quick is DCYF to respond to daily dysfunctional family horror shows ? 

The root of the problem is that our ruling capitalist class has put state agencies on rations -even with the record breaking stock market wealth. 

Also, the magnitude of the problem demands AUTHORITARIAN control. This could be called benign " socialism " or right wing fascism. 

Even the homeless problem demands AUTHORITARIAN action. You can not talk about any " right " to be homeless. You can not talk about mindless respect for landlord private property rights. 

Why in Rhode Island is the " solution " always heavy handed punitive ? Fire this one ! Jail that one ! True, these state workers are only human. And there is such a thing as " compassion fatigue ". Saints are rare in this world !

Where do WORKING CLASS female sex abuse victims go ?

Gymnast Mattie Larson says she purposely injured herself to avoid team doctor Larry Nassar  

I suggested that women in general need trusted male " protection ". Some champions of these victims suggest that all they really need is a press conference , the New York Times sympathy story, and an appointment with Oprah., and a pep rally.

              Where do working class female sex abuse victims go ? In fact , they go to FAMILY ( unless FAMILY is the problem ). There is also the LAW and the POLICE .

I guess women need trusted male " protection "

Gymnast Mattie Larson says she purposely injured herself to avoid team doctor Larry Nassar

This is a more general controversy now. How do women protect themselves when ALONE with a predator male ? How about a call to the police ? Then tell Pop and big brothers ? I do recall a nasty horror film titled " I Spit on Your Grave " .

 

How did they ( the female victims ) protect themselves in the good doctor's presence ?
 

The " ME TOO " women victims are mostly adults. I guess women in general need trusted male " protection ".

I agree with the Green family about the rudeness of the name change of the state airport . Have we no respect for PAST ? Rome was named after the Fratricide King Romulus .

Even " Columbus " - who- all by himself- carried the  plague of " Western Civilization " to oh-so-innocent Native Americans , to the kind and gentle Aztecs ( sacrificing 14 year old girls ) . 
WE should not feel too superior to the DEAD PAST. How will history judge us ?

On the topic of loneliness in America one of the best books was published in 1970 : " The Pursuit of Loneliness : American Culture at the Breaking Point " by Philip Slater. The root of this sad misery ?

Slater's book is " a classic indictment of American individualism and isolationism. "
Yes, he too did not have a good word for American capitalism and imperialism ( A whole chapter on the criminal war in Vietnam ) .

Medicaid recipients sue to block new work-requirement rules

I can imagine even an enlightened democratic socialist government compelling able bodied people to work in a system of socialized production. But here a CAPITALIST government would compel hapless individuals to work without forcing capitalists to hire them. The essence of an unemployment crisis under capitalism is that no business will hire an unemployed worker unless it is profitable to do so. MILLIONS of dollars of CAPITAL can just be horded until it can be successfully invested. This produced the horror known to history as The Great Depression . The USE value of human labor - the objective 
necessity that WORK needs to be done ( on the super-structure, for example ) is not a consideration .
