President Trump right about US civil war danger !

 

As an INDEPENDENT democratic socialist  I see President Donald Trump as non-heroic VICTIM of the illiberal liberalism of the neo-con ( NOT very " progressive " ) Democrat Party.       How can THEY remove a LEGITIMATE president from office with the help of the shadow government of the United States -and the FAKE NEWS media - and NOT expect the chaos of serious -possibly violent - civil war .

 

The Ukraine /Trump investigation is nothing more than the Kafkaesque Mueller investigation ENCORE .               Again I am speaking on the Left !   The HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism of Democrat " liberals " has gone too far .

 

Trump warns of civil war

Big Bang myth shaming even Botticelli's Venus ( myth of a universe from NOTHING )

I do agree that the arrogant and obnoxious New Atheism should not win the soul of young scientists. As an INDEPENDENT democratic socialist I concluded long ago that the biggest mistake of the now defunct Soviet Union was to declare itself " officially atheist ".

                 Educated Catholics like Mr. Miller should be praised for defending the harmony of Faith and Reason ( as did Catholic theologian Thomas Aquinas ) .

                 To be sure , most ordinary intelligent human beings will find GOD ( with a hint of the abstract sublime ) easier to accept as ultimate REALITY than the " God Particle " . Dogmatic Marxists have failed to communicate their arid dialectical materialism and their awe of matter-in-motion to the masses for more than a century now. To be sure, they would make THEIR socialism just as dreary !

                     And sad to say secular humanists today - loyal to the Democrat Party - are not in the vanguard of the defenders of the FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.

                   Defending president George W. Bush's criminal invasion and occupation of Iraq , ex Trotskyist Christopher Hitchens ridiculed ALL religions in his nasty little book titled " God Is Not Great ... how religion poisons everything ".

                 I am presently reading an old book by the late Preston Cloud : " Cosmos Earth And Man ". It does not poison religion for me . I cannot take physicist Lawrence Krauss too seriously : the amazing " non-miracle " ( ? ) of a complex universe with intelligent life in it ( at least on the Good Earth ) popping out of quantum foam NOTHINGNESS shaming even Botticelli's Venus .

There are Catholic scientists !

Public voices of Science shills for the Democrat Party ?

With equal ardor and greater knowledge- and less hysteria - the great popular science writer Isaac Asimov warned the world about global warming back in 1988 . You can catch him on You Tube saying this was the BIG NEWS of the year .

 However, I can detect a troubling GROUP THINK hubris in self-appointed voices of science who are in truth shills for the Democrat Party. For example , celebrity astrophysicist Neil De Grasse Tyson talks as if he were on the central committee of our military industrial complex ( when he is not God bashing in the manner of the New Atheism ) .

Whatever WE can do about global warming WE HOMO SAPIENS will never be masters of the universe. I am sure such wisdom is still found in the Russian Orthodox Church.

Comment on Tucker Carlson's book " Ship of Fools "

 As a democratic socialist I appreciate moral and intellectual honesty from ANY source . I particularly appreciate Tucker Carlson's observation in " Ship of Fools "  that " liberal " Democrats have for decades now cultivated illiberal liberalism and have betrayed the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.

They come so frightfully close to MAKING Donald Trump the lesser evil in the 2020 presidential election. (less)

Any working class Americans with sentimental ties to the Ukraine ?

How can any world power that pretends to be democratic and lead the so called " Free World " have barbaric Saudi Arabia and Zionist Apartheid Israel as dear allies fighting along with "OUR democracy " ? Does not naughty Iran have as much right to a defensive nuclear weapons system as Israel or North Korea ? Any foolish and ignorant young Americans lining up at military recruiting stations to fight the next endless and stupid war in the Middle East - making the world safe for rich people in the USA , Saudi Arabia, and Israel ? Any working class Americans with sentimental ties to the Ukraine ?

Catholic Church clergy who slobber over " progressive " Democrats have betrayed Christ

How can any sincere Catholics ally themselves with the neo-con, New Atheism cabal in the Democrat Party ? For decades now ILLIBERAL LIBERALISM has been attacking freedom of religion in the so called " Free World " ( which includes barbaric Saudi Arabia and Zionist Apartheid Israel.. The conservative populist president Donald Trump- daily smeared as a " Hitler " in the mainstream news media - gets that right .

I myself am a lifelong democratic socialist in the tradition of George Orwell and the Catholic radical Dorothy Day.

I hope my comments here don't disappear down a " 1984 " memory hole . Nowadays both Right and Left partisans are terrified of the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Christian Civilization.

 Catholic Church clergy and community leaders who slobber over the shadow government of the United States, the FBI , CIA , the Pentagon War Crimes Machine are just as corrupt and sinister , and have betrayed Christ as did Judas so many centuries ago.

" Savanarola " Greta Thunberg ? As charming as the New Atheists

Does " Savanarola " Greta Thunberg believe that millions of evil sinister ADULTS have the magic power to quickly DO SOMETHING about global warming ?     I can get no information about her family's religious background . She has the tone of all past TRUE BELIEVERS but all the charm of the New Atheism preachers.    As a democratic socialist I think SOMETHING can be done about global warming only if capitalist industry can be ORDERED by popular democracy to change its behavior , to cut off its FOR PROFIT claws.    I respect Tolstoy's faith in a God that can save humanity from existential despair .   The Marxist awe of " eternal matter in motion " does not inspire GOODNESS or SANITY .

Radical Ron comments for WORLD PEACE in Pravda on line

WE THE PEOPLE in the United States seem to have no say in foreign policy . So much for " OUR democracy " . What the Nobel Prize winning French writer Albert Camus said about loving your country IN JUSTICE sounds right to me. I wonder to what degree Zionist Apartheid Israel is behind this spurious Trump/ Ukraine scandal.

 Will ordinary working class Americans get to have a referendum ( " OUR democracy " ? ) over going to war- once again- to make the world safe for plutocracy in Washington, D.C. and Jerusalem ? And how disgusting that " liberal " Democrats are promoting - for three years now - this HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism .

 Not one imagined " socialist " Democrat presidential candidate has a word to say about WORLD PEACE - as if it were quite irrelevant in recent years. THEY don't hesitate to support with flag waving FALSE patriotism the Pentagon War Crimes Machine .

The traditional Catholic conscience should just say NO to Trump impeachment lynch mob

What's the likelihood of President Trump's impeachment and removal?

I don't see how what is left of the traditional Catholic conscience in the USA can support this Kafkaesque daily harassment of a LEGITIMATE - yes , by the American Constitution - president of the United States, Donald Trump. And I am a lifelong INDEPENDENT democratic socialist . The so called " progressive " Left now shows a fascist streak in its hysterical hostility to Trump and conservative Republicans , in its daily contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Christian Civilization. All the mainstream news media 's endless Catholic bashing is based in the ILLIBERAL LIBERAL Democrat Party.
The Ukraine/ Trump scandal has about as much a solid foundation as the Mueller Russia investigation circus.

Jewish Democrats go soft on impeaching Trump

The " liberal "  Democrats generally have no problem with ANY corrupt governments that play ball with the American imperialism and the Pentagon War Crimes Machine.    A Zionist Jew , Volodymyn Zelensky , was recently elected president of Ukraine . Naturally , the dear ally of " OUR democracy ", Apartheid Israel, sees here opportunity for the Greater Israel agenda . You would think Zionist Israel would send 400 million dollars to " secure "  anti-Russia Ukraine.  Do WE THE PEOPLE have any say in foreign policy ? Do WE really think that Israel has more right to nuclear weapons " protection " than Iran ?
             It does seem that  Jewish Democrats are suddenly soft on opposing the impeachment of Donald Trump .  They have their own myopic view of our national interests.  To be sure , working class Americans have NO INTEREST in any more stupid imperialist wars to make the world safe for the plutocracy in Washington , D.C. or in Jerusalem .

We HOMO SAPIENS will never be MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE !

" We are unable to see that the climate conditions that allowed civilizations to flourish during the last 10,000 years will soon be replaced by a savage struggle to survive. ".

   An INDEPENDENT socialist all my life , I am sure that life on earth - including HUMAN life - will always be a more or less desperate struggle for existence .

          WE homo sapiens will never be - not even under some utopian socialism - masters of the universe. As for climate control we will never be able to regulate the climate of GOOD EARTH as we regulate our house AC systems in summer and winter. With no human beings on the planet Earth was for ages a frozen snow ball , then for ages impossibly hot with a toxic atmosphere. A golden age of benign weather patterns allowed the first Golden Age of Civilization , in Egypt , Greece , and Rome . That was the original " garden of Eden " .

                  Our survival depends on a fresh humility that tells us : WE are not God . Our Eden Earth is rapidly disappearing. I suspect an odd couple marriage between British rationalism and Catholic mysticism can get us through the approaching high tech Dark Age.

For more than a century socialist " vanguard parties " have proved to be useless for building THE SANE SOCIETY without exploitation or oppression. In fact, they all contain the seeds of totalitarianism today.

   No form of socialism - that could truly control global industry , imposing LIMITS TO GROWTH - will be achieved by any past or present forms of " progressive " Left politics . Forget about Bernie Sanders ! Forget about the permanent GREAT LEADER of any sectarian Marxist party today. Above all forget about reforming the Democrat Party !

We need SANE human beings - not daffy socialist " Clears " - so much like those in the Church of Scientology

Zionist Jews feuding over the soul of American " democracy " ?

I say this just in the spirit of scientific sociology. I note that : [ "Schiff was born in Framingham, Massachusetts, the son of Edward and Sherrill Ann (Glovsky) Schiff.[2] He was raised in a Jewish family, and moved to Danville, California, during high school.[3] He graduated from Monte Vista High School[4] and received a political science degree from Stanford University and a J.D. degree from Harvard Law School. "]

 

 What does fellow Democrat Alan Dershowitz think about his colleague Adam Schiff ? It does seem that this war for the soul of " OUR democracy " is fundamentally a tribal war among feuding Zionist Jews. Even the Ukraine crisis raises the issue of sinister Greater Israel MEDDLING in American foreign policy .

 

 My Congressman from Rhode Island , David Cicilline , half Jewish, always talks about OUR " special relationship " with Israel as if this should be axiomatic in public discussion . David Cicilline is in the vanguard of so called " progressive " Democrats who want Trump impeached with no basis in constitutional law. He said on the local radio this morning that the " popularity " of impeaching Trump is irrelevant to the best interests of " OUR democracy ". 

 

 The New Democrats have dismissed with elitist contempt the " populist " concept of MAJORITY RULE in "OUR democracy " for decades . I suspect that they teach this elitist contempt for real DEMOCRACY at Harvard Law School. As a democratic socialist myself I predict that President Donald Trump will be re-elected by a landslide in 2020. What MOST Americans really think really does matter. And THE LAW will smile on this.

This democratic socialist does not support Democrat IMPEACH TRUMP circus

 

As a long time democratic socialist I can give no moral support to the sanctimonious idiocy of  oh-so-progressive Democrats obsessed with making every day of a constitutionally legitimate president , Donald Trump , into a day of constitutional crisis. 

 

 For three years these oh-so-phony liberals have made a mockery of the RULE OF LAW.  As if " OUR democracy " was so pristine perfect until it elected Trump - against the will of the gods ? - in 2016 . 

 

  What was the right wing populist Trump campaign and the " socialist " Democrat  Bernie Sanders campaign  all about if not complete popular disgust with ESTABLISHMENT USA ?  

 

    On the Left myself I see the seeds of fascism in  both  sectarian Marxist parties and in the neo-liberal Democrat Party .          And Trump was right about this : religious freedom is being attacked by New Atheist inspired liberals and Stalinist inspired socialists.  These  charming people also show little respect for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.

 

                        There is no unified Left slobbering over vicious ambitious Democrats who see President Donald Trump as the root of all evil in " OUR democracy " . The Democrat Party  IS out of touch with the American working class.

 

For working class Americans no sentimental associations with country named " Ukraine "

As a democratic socialist I think it is the Democrat Party - not the LEGITIMATE elected president Donald Trump- which for more than three years has displayed contempt for basic premises of Law & Order and the Constitution of the United States . WE THE PEOPLE did not elect the shadow government of the United States which would nullify the 2016 presidential election. Sad to see " progressive " Democrats slobbering over the FBI , the CIA , the Pentagon war machine .         The HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism is a strange product of " OUR democracy ".  

 

          " Ukraine " does not evoke any sentimental associations for working class Americans. A recent addition to the so called " Free World " - another dear ally like barbaric Saudi Arabia and Zionist Apartheid Israel ?   

 

   IMPEACH TRUMP will guarantee his re-election in 2020 .  Joe Biden is an ESTABLISHMENT cartoon candidate- the opposite of everything hoped for in the 2016 campaign.  Unlike " Sleepy Joe " Biden  Donald Trump and " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders attracted enthusiastic crowds - fed up with ESTABLISHMENT politicians .

 

Getting a " caffeine high " on Barbasol Shaving Creme ?

       This morning I thought I bought the regular brand of Barbasol Shaving Creme.  For me ONE cup of coffee is  mildly stimulating but hardly " invigorating ". I read the aerosol can :

      [  "   USA Celebrating 100 years   IMPROVED INVIGORATING FORMULA 

                  PACIFIC RUSH with CAFFEINE & Menthol ."]   PRICE $1.49 Stop & Shop

         Add " LIVELY RUSH "  of what menthol or CAFFEINE ? Why not add nicotine or cocaine ?

           And  " free market " conservatives  think that one way to invigorate capitalism is to euthanize the government WATCHDOGS ?

      "    If you know of injustices we should bring to light, wrongs we should try to right — please email or call.  "        (  Providence Journal )         

NOTE :

Originally Answered: [ Is there any valid medical or cosmetic reason for caffeine in shaving cream?  ?

  " No.

There are relatively few compounds that are effectively absorbed directly through the skin, and caffeine is not one of them. Putting caffeine in shaving cream will not accomplish anything.

As far as 'coffee scrubs', there is no way to determine whether or not the caffeine in the coffee, as compared to any of the other myriad chemical compounds in coffee, is what is causing the perceived changes in how your skin 'feels'   " ]

How the Los Angeles plague can spread to Rhode Island

On the whole I appreciate the Warwick Public Library . But can't the staff assert some authority in requesting chronic coughers  there to wear a hospital face mask or cover their mouth with sanitary napkins ?

   Put up a sign as you might see on any hospital wall ?

   Is it now politically incorrect to insist on public health measures ?

    One regular visitor to the Warwick Public Library - a regular chronic cougher - was identified by a friend as a one time guest of Harrington Hall ( for the homeless ) in Cranston. My friend himself spent one horrible night there . The  depressing place reminded him of those 19th century tuberculosis wards.

              The Los Angeles plague can spread to Rhode Island. Good manners are VITAL !

Ukraine scandal connected to Zionist Israel's interests

Trump or Biden family, American imperialist meddling in the Ukraine is connected with Zionist Israel's interest in the region ( many Jews living there , once victims of both Stalinism and Nazism ) and Biden's Democrat Party promoting the HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism . Along with barbaric Saudi Arabia and Apartheid Israel does the once oh-so-Russian- now fascist ? - Ukraine now join " OUR democracy " as precious ally defending the so called " Free World " ?

At the risk of being stoned by the New Religion of environmentalism I will agree that this gifted young girl may be a clinical case of some mental disturbance . But so was the founder of daffy Scientology L. Ron Hubbard . " Listen to the scientists " , Greta exhorts . But who do THEY listen to ? I recall the physicist Richard Feynman saying that THEY " follow the leader ". Is there such a thing as GROUP THINK GENIUS ?

Traditional Catholics validated by young environmentalist Greta Thunberg , " Joan of Ec " ?

       A point of traditional Catholicism is validated by the Joan of Arc( Joan of Ec ?  ) of environmentalism Greta Thunberg . Complains Greta Thunberg : " No one is acting as if we are in a crisis... Even most scientists or green politicians keep flying around the world, eating meat.... "

              Now if a  billion of the world's Catholics once again refrained from  EATING MEAT ON FRIDAY , Greta might begin to be more optimistic about her future. One small sacrifice for Catholics ... one giant step against hellish global warming . Dominus Vobiscum, Greta !

What will IMPEACH TRUMP do for ordinary working class Americans ?

As a presidential candidate Democrat Joe Biden is smelling of putrefying flesh.  In its global business intrigues the American plutocracy - funding  both the Democrats and the Republicans - is careless of ANY national interests.   Their's  is only FOR PROFIT PATRIOTISM !   

 

            As a democratic socialist I am more annoyed at the " progressive " Democrats slobbering over the shadow government of the United States ( dropping dimes to the FBI ).  Mad at " progressive " Democrats promoting HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism.  

 

              " Our democracy " - and OUR allies in the Middle East - barbaric Saudi Arabia and Zionist Apartheid Israel - are on a higher moral plane for defending the so called " Free World "  ?

 

No more Democrat PEACE candidates eager to restrain the Pentagon War Crimes Machine ?  No mention of PEACE as  even a goal .   

 

                  What will IMPEACH TRUMP do for ordinary working class Americans ?

What does the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism do for poor black kids , Congressman Cicilline ?

Prominent Rhode Island government watchdog Ken Block recently ( Sept 23, 2019 ) raised the issue of institutionalized racism as an explanation for the dismal showing of Providence Public School.

 

[ My Turn: Ken Block: We must end schools' institutional racism ...

 

https://www.providencejournal.com › opinion › my-turn-ken-block-we-m...Cached2 days ago - For decades, Rhode Island has undergone an annual ritual where our statewide test results are made known, and the sound of teeth gnashing can be heard in every corner of the state. ... Rhode Island has a brand-new commissioner of education, Angelica Infante-Green. ... Unfortunately, we ...]      

 

             Here the very intelligent , very informed Ken Block ironically sounds  a bit like the " progressive " Rhode Island Democrats who run on racial politics .  So concerned and sensitive are they about racial injustice  it is hard to explain their neglect of Providence public schools for the decades that they have been a monopoly entrenched power in the state .   

 

 Could it be more a  CLASS injustice issue than that old time racism ?  How can  poor white people enjoy WHITE PRIVILEGE in the Rhode Island public schools  anymore than in the outrageous prison system ?    

 

              Just as much as those conservative Republicans  the Democrats serve the   ruling              capitalist class. 

 

  The BIG MONEY goes to the suppressive apparatus of the police state , the military , the Pentagon War Crimes Machines , corporate welfare.  

 

           So state budgets are left begging and starving . And a good share of the BIG MONEY goes to corrupt American politicians - like the crusading people's politician more and more in the news as the arch foe of  President Donald Trump , Congressman David Cicilline

 

  What does the HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism do for poor black people or for working class white people , Mr. Cicilline ?  Impeach Trump for them ?

Radical Ron 's advice for ALL public libraries

 [ I  am generally pleased with and appreciative of the Warwick Public Library .  Just ONE public health suggestion: could this library and other public libraries please put up a poster reminding chronic coughers to avoid contaminating the air  ? Perhaps they can offer the chronic cougher a face mask or a box of facial tissues.
                 You would think the staff would take some responsibility here . Is it so rude or politically incorrect to enforce public health standards ?

      One frequent cougher at the Warwick Public Library was identified as a one time resident of Harrington Hall ( for the homeless ) in Cranston.  A friend described Harrington Hall as sounding like a 19th century tuberculosis ward.  He should know as he had to spend one horrible night there.]

Radical Ron validated on World Socialist Web Site !

@Ron Ruggieri Thanks, Ron. I just followed up your comment with some research and indeed it does appear David North is David W. Green, CEO and owner of Grand River Printing and Imaging. That he would be secretive of this is alarming and calls into question his character and leadership. That you were banned and censored from WSWS is unfortunately no surprise, and that there is indeed cult-ish elements at the SEP isn't either. I always found it hypocritical to be against censorship while simultaneously censoring free speech on your own platform. The true identity of David North also calls into question the party's often sectarian hostility towards other Left groups. The cult of personality is something socialists, knowing our history, cannot get involved in. My reservations about the SEP (and all strands of ML in general), despite finding agreement and importance in some of WSWS's work (such as coverage of the striking GM workers), now seems even more justified. PS. I agree with your position regarding certain socialists and their hostility of religion.
 

Thank you very much for your thoughtful response.  Other INSIDERS have described David North's SEP as a personality cult with more credibility than I .       

      However I do not equate " capitalist " with moral monster. I just get a chuckle out of Malcolm X' s heartfelt quote.  I think if David North is still an HONEST Marxist he has some explaining to do. It is very risky being critical of Zionism . SMEARS of anti- Semitism - with nothing substantial to back them up -are poison.

  My only surviving friend from the  " tumultuous 60s " is  Jewish and sympathetic to socialism and at best indifferent to Israel.  But it sounds too much like a cliché for me to mention it.
