So " nobody is above the law " in capitalist USA ?
A hack Democrat Senator here in Rhode Island says vacuously that " nobody is above the law " ( in " OUR democracy , of course ) . The bourgeois legal system forever operates with ILLUSIONS and ABSTRACT legalese drivel. Karl Marx and his followers observed long ago that THE LAW is nowhere in capitalist society above the interests of the ruling class. And you really have to be quite the obtuse scholar to see EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW as an everyday reality for poor and working class citizens. A walk through the American Gulag might change minds on the majesty of THE LAW. A walk that would even take the eloquent hot air out of one Atticus Finch of " To Kill a Mockingbird " fame.
Unlike trained scientists America's lawyers - especially Harvard Law School graduates - are more adept at any sophistry which PERSUADES a jury , WINS a case , than at OBJECTIVE thinking which passionately searches for TRUTH.
In general , the capitalist system destroys many once fine intellects and virtuous souls. And yes , just around the age of 30 THE PROCESS is complete. House broken by the capitalist division of labor . But just in time for college graduation the inner philistine is already well polished. After all , that is what " higher education " is all about .
If it pays to think so , then 2+2 = 5 ! Ask Winston Smith , the broken rebel in George Orwell's " 1984 ".
[ “Our courts have our faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal.” This line comes from Atticus's closing argument to the jury at Tom Robinson's trial. ]
WOKE WARRIOR Democrats would have you believe that Donald Trump is the root of all evil in " OUR democracy "
I am inclined to agree with this remark on the WORLD SOCIALIST WEB SITE this morning :
[ "There are, in fact, no issues of democratic principles involved in the indictment. On the contrary, the entire case, based as it is on private sexual conduct and Trump’s efforts to cover it up, is a substitute for a real accounting for Trump’s myriad crimes, while also appealing to the Democratic Party’s base in privileged sections of the middle class.
At the same time, the indictment is another expression of the deep crisis of the entire political system and the bitter conflicts within the state. " ]
As for " Trump's myriad " crimes they are indistinguished from those of the rest of the American plutocracy. In fact ,the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party presents a greater threat of American fascism than " The Donald " and his mostly CONSERVATIVE Republican followers. The " liberal " Democrats have made themselves for decades now antagonists of the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.
What seems to be happening in " OUR democracy " is a dramatic meltdown of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM presently reflecting near civil war hostility between rival sections of the American plutocracy . They will probably UNITE only for the COMING ATTRACTION : World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia . Crumbling capitalism and disintegrating American imperialism needs a sinister foreign enemy . China will do too. Iran , North Korea, Venezuela , Cuba will also do . But American imperialism is together forever with Israeli Zionism. Trump, no doubt ,favors the fascist leader of Israel , Benjamin Netanyahu. Biden his OPPOSITION now crowding the streets of APARTHEID Israel. The dispossessed and oppressed PALESTINIANS have no friends in high places in the United States , certainly not among the ruling class.
THEIR interests -the interests of the American plutocracy , of belligerent ZIONIST Jews - are not OUR interests: the interests of the vast working class majority of the nation.
WE need our independent American Labor Party - a lot like the British Labor Party but less compromised with more backbone .

I said this about the Cuban boy Elian Gonzalez way back in 1999
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1999
Send Cuban Boy Back To Cuba !
Providence Journal columnist Froma Harrop is right to believe that Elian Gonzlez- the 6 year old Cuban boy, an involuntary exile rescued off the Florida coast- belongs with his father in Cuba. And you don't need the wisdom of Solomon here!
Spurious indeed is the argument about the GOOD LIFE here for Elian. Since when is the GOOD LIFE compulsory in our society ? Speak that crap to the millions of working poor - many of whom are from Latin America . The " dark , Satanic mills " of the Industrial Revolution are still there for the new immigrants - most of them .
I am opposed to a recklessly " liberal " immigration policy. But I am also passionately opposed to the abuse and exploitation of these latino immigrants.
And most certainly a 6 year old political innocent should not be used as a pawn in international politics.
I happen to agree with Fidel about the main type of Cuban exile in Miami - a despicable GUSANO , an implacable enemy of the Cuban Revolution
They will never forgive Fidel for " stealing " their vast wealth - the fruit of their own corruption and the misery of the Cuban people.
Viva Fidel ! ( But retire soon please and hold elections .)
at 2:30 AM No comments:
[Now 29 years old, González is set to become a legislator in the Latin American country following Sunday's election.
"And one of the first things he wants to do is bring the U.S. and Cuba to the table for a better relationship," USA Today reports.
More than 20 years after González was discovered after a violent storm killed his mother and most of the group fleeing the island, he is a married industrial engineer with a 2-year-old daughter. ]
Why not confiscate all abominable mass murder guns in the United States and sell them to NATO " hero " war monger V. Zelensky ?
The WOKE WARRIOR Democrats are so passionate about denying easy civilian access to " weapons of war " in the United States. And they are equally passionately ANTI-WAR ? Why not confiscate ALL these civilian owned lethal gun weapons and send them to the NATO " hero " war monger president of the Ukraine V. Zelensky ? Start nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? What better way to SAVE THE CHILDREN ?
SELL them to our allies in NATO countries bordering EVIL Russia and to APARTHEID Israel ? Some of the money collected might be used to re-construct state mental institutions .
None of these hack Democrat candidates for US Congress in Rhode Island will make much difference in your life
You have to be seriously deluded to think that ANY of these WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party hack candidates for US Congress will ever somehow make life better for you . None of them are the least capable of thinking outside the box of " capitalism and American imperialism forever ". None of them has anything original to say about the homeless crisis in Rhode Island. The only way to find homes for the homeless is to make some more than generous capitalist landlords richer ? They all slobber over the NATO " hero " war monger president of Ukraine V. Zelensky given the keys to the US Treasury in perpetuum by corrupt , senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden ,the Conqueror of Afghanistan and the exemplary devout Irish Catholic .
To say nothing of their infatuation with all manner of WOKE lunacy ! "Now class, watch your pronouns ! "
Of course , the arrested in Russia Wall St. Journal reporter, Evan Geshkovich , was not a spy ?
Has the mainstream news media in the United States such untarnished credibility that most Americans will not even question if the arrested Wall St. Journal reporter was a indeed a spy ? What passes for " OUR democracy " is habituated to telling us the whole TRUTH ?
To be sure , with the exception of militant ZIONIST Jews with ties to the Ukraine , the case for a war with Russia over " sovereign " Ukraine is a very weak one among most Americans.
Wasted lives ! Wasted deaths !
Can the Army or the Navy or the Marine Corps recruit any young Americans not completely ignorant of the history of American imperialism for many years now in a together forever alliance with belligerent Israeli Zionism ?
Wasted lives ! Wasted deaths ! More stale Wilsonian blather in defense of " OUR democracy " . Have you had a whiff of it lately ? Neither " Sleepy Joe " Biden in the Democratic Party nor THE DONALD in the Republican Party will succeed in " making America great again ". Nor will nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia . Join the GREAT CRUSADE , young people of America ?

Is New England Patriot's owner Robert Kraft the IDEAL Jew to combat real or imagined anti-Semitism ?
Is Mr. Robert Kraft, New England Patriots owner , the IDEAL Jew to combat real or perceived anti-Semitism ? A while back one now notorious Hollywood producer named Harvey Weinstein told an audience of mostly respectable Jews that they should " learn from the Mafia " how to fight their oh-so-numerous and oh-so-hateful enemies. Does APARTHEID Israel perhaps play at least a small role in rising anti-Semitism ? Or how about the mainstream news media slobbering over the NATO " hero" war monger, president of Ukraine , ZIONIST Jew V. Zelensky ? Just handed the keys to the US Treasury by " Sleepy Joe " Biden , the corrupt , senile , creepy , president of the United States. He just told the country that , of course , he would be a ZIONIST Jew if he were a Jew ( instead of a devout Irish Catholic ) . Start nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia to " save " these people ? To be sure , anti-Semitism has evolved ( now hardly inexplicable ) since the Christian Dark Age.

A shabby , paltry " Catholic " ( ? ) miracle story
I first heard of this " miracle " report on 630WPRO ( Providence , Rhode Island ) talk radio this morning . Coming from a Catholic family background myself I am hardly cynical of all " miracle " stories. But I also have great respect for LAW & ORDER in Nature as discovered by modern science. According to astrophysicists the greatest SOMETHING FROM NOTHING " miracle " was the BIG BANG , the universe itself . If it was the God of Christianity that made this happen , what else is possible ?
Nevertheless I smell a charlatan hoax here. With all the hunger and human misery on the planet today this strikes me a very shabby, paltry " miracle " . Why not multiply our " daily bread " in those long , depressing BREAD ( or CHEESE ) lines ? Recall the Gospel story- fact or fiction - where Good Jesus fed really hungry people. If it was a charlatan's trick, it was at least that of a COMPASSIONATE charlatan- not a shallow publicity seeker .
If anything should be investigated first, it should be the muddle headed priest who wasted no time in reporting this " miracle ".
What is left the Old Catholic Church ( pre-Vatican II ) must protect its dignity and gravitas. The MYSTIQUE of the pre-Vatican II Catholic Church has been lost . The 1917 " Miracle of Fatima " had many witnesses , for example. But having a skeptical mind is hardly a mortal sin .

So far the Rhode Island Democrats who have presented themselves for the US Congress are the most mediocre " progressive " hacks
So far the Rhode Island Democrats who have presented themselves for US Congress are the most mediocre " progressive " hacks . None will even try to think outside of the box .
WOKE hacks incapable of even a fresh thought on the deepening crisis of the American Way of Life ( that is of decaying CAPITALISM and war hungry American imperialism together forever with Israeli Zionism ) .
One of the Democrats ( Goncalves ) babbles about encouraging critical thinking skills in public school children - skills which he lacks !
This is a indeed a ONE PARTY state . An honest conservative Republican voice would at least be refreshing ! Would bring some HOPE to hopeless Rhode Island.
With " Sleepy Joe " Biden and his WOKE Democrats looking forward to another GREAT DEPRESSION and nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia.
We democratic socialists just love that stale Wilsonian blather of " OUR democracy ". Have YOU had a whiff of it lately ?

Old Joe Kennedy, the father of JFK , had an undeserved reputation as an anti- Semite . But he did say that THEY make a mess of everything .
If Netanyahu represents the majority of Jewish citizens in Israel, it is bad news for all the Jews who are not arrogant ZIONISTS in Apartheid Israel. What do the old Soviet Union and APARTHEID Israel have in common ? Winston Churchill observed the prominent role of radical ( but erratic and neurotic ) Jews in founding " communist " Russia. ZIONIST Jews - with no SOCIALIST vision- could see THE END of the Zionist " experiment " ( again a little less than 80 years ) Back to world wandering ? But now in Israel how many American Jews were fleeing from persecution in New York City ? How many would boldly occupy PALESTINIAN territory ? Old Joe Kennedy , the father of JFK , had an undeserved reputation as an anti-Semite . But he did say that THEY make a mess of everything !

Wisdom on getting old
[ I'll soon be 67 and will share my thoughts on your question. Aging is inevitable if we keep having birthdays and, as for me, I like that I keep having birthdays. I recognize that my health could decline at some point and I may no longer look forward to more birthdays but until then…
Maintain a positive attitude. I'm not talking about a false glibness but a real gratitude for how far your body has taken you. Appreciate your body. Be really good to it. Treat it as your most precious asset as it's the only one you're going to get.
Take your body for regular walks. Appreciate what your eyes can see, your nose can smell, and your ears can hear. Wonder at the sun on your face or its warmth on your back. Watch the wind in the trees, listen for the sound of children's laughter.
Feed your body good food. Get rid of the junk food in your house. If you want brownies make them from scratch. Once you get used to making things for yourself you'll be disgusted by the taste of preservatives and additives in prepackaged food. Your digestive system, your heart and circulatory system will love you for it so much that you will be able to tell the difference.
Spend lots of time with your family, letting them know how much you love them. One of you won't be around before you're ready for it.
Cultivate your friends. Any old ones are always great for walks down memory lane including all the stupid things you've done. Laughter is such wonderful medicine. Look for opportunities to make new ones. Sit somewhere different in places you frequent Friend someone on Facebook and seek opportunities to meet in the real world—coffee in the morning or for a drink in the evening. Don't be fearful of going places alone. One of my best friends right now is someone I met four years ago sitting next to them at a bar where I'd gone for a glass of wine and to people watch.
Read—the news, a novel, a joke that you want to remember to tell someone. Reading takes you to places you've never been before. If you don't like one book, try another. Maybe you'll like biographies, history, suspense, romance, or science fiction. Reading exercises your brain and gives you topics and/or information to share with your family and friends. It will make you interested and interesting]
If hospital WOKERS get little respect , what can helpless hospital patients expect ?
Health care will never be a basic human right - and health care workers, hard working doctors and nurses, hospital medical technicians, ALL hard working hospital employees , will never be treated with the respect they deserve - until the FOR PROFIT health care industry in the United States is abolished by a democratic socialist government . And if these working people get little respect , what can helpless hospital patients expect ?
WOKE thinking has completely warped the common sense and common decency of the smug WOKE Democrats
What passes for WOKE thinking has utterly warped the common sense and common decency of the smug WOKE Democrats . They have totally lost touch with the Christian working class in America. Apart from everything WOKE the WOKE WARRIOR Democrats now offer us nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia . Join their GREAT CRUSADE ?
Can the dumb news media tell us something about Audrey Hale's " MANIFESTO " ?
Oh no, this can't be a HATE CRIME because 28-year-old Audrey Hale is an oppressed trans-gender victim ? Can the dumb news media tell us something about HIS/HER " MANIFESTO ". ? Must deranged HATE always be associated with the " Christian Right " ? What truly objective professional journalism !
Christian feudalism was a kinder world than today's nihilistic capitalism
The root of the " problem " of voter apathy - of not even bothering to show up at the polls on Election Day - is the perceived fundamental rottenness of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM . The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are just the right and left cheeks of Corporate America , of our capitalist ruling class. You can be sure that real SOCIALISM is anathema in both parties.
How exciting the next presidential election in 2024 : " Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump ".
Which candidate will the ZIONIST controlled mainstream news media support ? I would guess corrupt , senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden as the best guardian of everything WOKE and out of touch with the feelings of the Christian working class in " OUR democracy ".
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I also note- with dismay- how the once traditional Marxist oriented Left has completely degenerated into squabbling, quite daffy sects. Even the Catholic Church has lost its mystique and gravitas since Vatican II , rapidly going WOKE . The pre-Vatican II Catholic Church had a morally commendable and very sincere social philosophy which competed with communist atheism. A WOKE Catholic Church is a JOKE Catholic Church in the USA.
Anyway , Saint Francis is still preferable to Ayn Rand and " The Virtue of Selfishness " . Christian feudalism was a kinder world than today's nihilistic capitalism. But, of course, the poor , ignorant peasants back then could not VOTE !
Whatever is left of the JEWISH working class must oppose right wing ZIONISM
Whatever is left of the JEWISH working class must realize that ZIONISM itself has become a form of right wing fascism in alliance with American imperialism . Consider what the wise popular science writer Isaac Asimov said about modern Israel decades ago :
[ “I am frequently asked if I have visited Israel, whereas yet, it is simply assumed that I have. Well, I don’t travel. I really don’t, and if I did, I probably wouldn’t visit Israel. I remember how it was in 1948 when Israel was being established and all my Jewish friends were ecstatic, I was not. I said: what are we doing? We are establishing ourselves in a ghetto, in a small corner of a vast Muslim sea. The Muslims will never forget nor forgive, and Israel, as long as it exists, will be embattled. I was laughed at, but I was right. I can’t help but feel that the Jews didn’t really have the right to appropriate a territory only because 2000 years ago, people they consider their ancestors, were living there. History moves on and you can’t really turn it back." ]
" America's military must be strong " in order to protect the interests of " FREE WORLD " global capitalism, Israeli Zionism, and DEEP STATE American imperialism
America's military must be strong in order to protect the interests of " FREE WORLD " global capitalism, Israeli Zionism , and DEEP STATE American imperialism. Try recruiting working class kids in " OUR democracy " with stale Wilsonian blather ( once again " MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY "?) to join this dumb Great Crusade !
A " Tumultuous 60s refrain : " What if they started a war and nobody showed up ? "
Is OUR American plutocracy really on a higher moral level than Putin's Russian oligarchy or China's Communist Party ?
THEIR interests are not OUR interests as WORKING CLASS Americans .

The first wave of Ukrainian refugees in Poland looked like affluent , middle class American tourists
The Ukrainian people suffer this stupid war because THEY ( ? ) were languishing with a longing for an alliance with rotten , effete , moribund NATO ? Russian leader Putin rendered them all completely miserable well before the start of the war ? The first wave of Ukrainian refugees in Poland looked like affluent, middle class American tourists . How many MILLIONS can poor Poland happily absorb ? The mainstream news media in the United States with stale Wilsonian blather puffs up the ZIONIST Jew war monger V. Zelensky . And corrupt , senile , " Sleepy Joe " Biden gives him the keys to the US Treasury in perpetuum .
The Chinese officials were right in thinking that NATO should have dissolved itself shortly after the collapse of the old Soviet Union more than 30 years ago.

World War III on the horizon ? Any future peace movement or mass anti-war protests will function independently of the Democratic Party
The jackass dinosaurs of the Pentagon War Crimes Machine. They have actually convinced successive American presidents that nuclear World War III with China or Russia is WINNABLE ! In the 2020 elections in the United States not one WOKE WARRIOR " progressive " Democrat was a sane voice for world peace. Any future peace movement or mass anti-war protests will function independently of the Democratic Party. Right now it looks like the party hacks will support corrupt , senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden for a second term. Expect the Conqueror of Afghanistan to be a less than glorious war time leader. The cheering will stop on " The Day After " !
Democratic socialists can only applaud this mass protest in Israel against Netanyahu being above THE LAW.
It is indeed refreshing to discover DIVERSITY in Zionist APARTHEID Israel . From the perspective of CULTURE and HISTORY the Jews as a people have always been inseparable from the WORD , from THE LAW . The ultimate moral authority was GOD HIMSELF and the Ten Commandments. How do you reconcile this with profane state worship ?
There is a CLASS structure in Israel but it is less than obvious to outsiders. The founders of modern Israel were certainly influenced by the SOCIALIST movements of more than a century ago.
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I can only applaud this mass protest against Netanyahu being above THE LAW.

The only country that ever used atomic weapons against civilians en mass was the United States
The only county that ever used atomic weapons against civilians en mass was the United States . The atomic bombing of the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a crime against humanity which no NATO dominated war crimes tribunal ever investigated. Has the American ruling class done anything in 50 years to end the threat of nuclear war ? Warn Iran ? Warn North Korea ? Does it ever warn ZIONIST Israel that its nuclear arsenal is also a threat to world peace ?
The stupid war in the Ukraine is not worth nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? Who is rooting for it ? A gang of belligerent ZIONIST Jews in the Ukraine , in the United States , in APARTHEID Israel . All slobbering over the NATO " hero " war monger Ukrainian president Zelensky
More Wilsonian blather to fire us up : once again " MAKE THE WORLD SAFE FOR DEMOCRACY ". Join another lunatic GREAT CRUSADE for a dubiously " sovereign " Ukraine ?
This is what American history is all about : saving SOVEREIGN nations on all continents ? Nothing but gratitude in every country of Central and South America - in south of the border Mexico- THANK YOU FOR SAVING OUR SOVEREIGN COUNTRIES , GOOD UNCLE SAM ! Heartfelt thanks from Chile ( where in 1973 the Zionist Jew war criminal, Henry Kissinger colluded with the fascist enemies of Marxist president Salvador Allende to assassinate him and save SOVEREIGN Chile .
Together forever - American Imperialism and Israeli Zionism
What is the stupid war in the Ukraine really all about ? Are we to believe that ordinary working class Ukrainians were languishing with a longing for a loving alliance with rotten , effete , moribund NATO ? Were they so miserable with Putin in power in Russia ? In Poland the first Ukrainian refugees looked a lot like Middle America on vacation . The mainstream news media in the United States puffs up the NATO " hero " war monger ZIONIST Jew V. Zelensky with stale Wilsonian blather ( once again " make the world safe for democracy " ? ) Apart from " OUR democracy " is " OUR plutocracy " on a higher moral level than Putin's Russia oligarchy ? Our CIA , " DEEP STATE " , Homeland Security , Pentagon War Crimes Machine - all paragons of moral righteousness ?
American imperialism in alliance with Israeli ZIONISM does not give a foreign regime billions of dollars a month ( ? ) so that it will maintain the sacrosanct " sovereign " country .
The only people in the United States with close ties to Ukraine - and decidedly pro-war , HATE RUSSIA- are mostly hawkish ZIONIST Jews with an agenda . They seem to prefer the WOKE " progressive " Democratic Party. But they never apply Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel.
This dubiously -or gloriously - SOVEREIGN Ukraine is not worth nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia . We will celebrate " The Day after " .
As for perils to " OUR democracy " have you had a whiff of it lately ? The American ruling class is attacking our " freedom " , attacking the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization, more than any sinister operatives in Moscow . Yet this same arrogant American ruling class wants to SAVE the Ukraine ? For whom ? For Greater Israel ? For Greater APARTHEID Israel with Zelensky as president for life with keys to the US Treasury in perpetuum ? Together forever - American Imperialism and Israeli ZIonism !

Drug addict salvation and Dr. Viktor Frankl's " Man's Search for Meaning "
One wonders how individuals -not completely cracked -can accept a MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE ? If they could only discover something more engaging than 24 hour drug stupefaction ? I think the famous psychiatrist Viktor Frankl explained this well in his famous book titled " Man's Search For Meaning ". If you have a WHY to live , you can deal with almost any how , Frankl wrote. How many " hopeless " addicts might find salvation and sanity in good , honest , LIVING WAGE work ?
Consider the sheer BOREDOM of an all day drug stupor. But it FEELS SO GOOD ?
The CLASS STRUGGLE in capitalist society can quickly turn Darwinian violent and ugly
What Karl Marx called the CLASS STRUGGLE " in capitalist society can quickly turn Darwinian violent and ugly . In the STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE few creatures accept a virtual death sentence which is what prolonged homelessness amounts to . As for the morality of this " class struggle " read the Russian revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky's essay " Their Morals and Ours ". Way back in 1905 and 1917 , however , Trotsky warned against the reckless foolishness of " individual terrorism ". American socialist writer Jack London also wrote on this theme of mean and bloody STRUGGLE FOR EXISTENCE . In the animal world London gave us the popular novel " The Call of the Wild ".

Fanatically identifying yourself with an endlessly persecuted ( ??? ) " community " is not an accomplishment in life
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think this incident reeks of WOKE politically correct bullying. The WOKE WARRIOR Democrats are themselves quite exemplary in HATE speech , especially after the 2016 presidential election. For more than five years now they have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism as if eager for nuclear World WAR III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia. Imagine starting a nuclear HOLOCAUST with no hatred in their hearts !

The Mexican president is right about third world banana republic treatment of former president Donald Trump
The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party is indeed turning " OUR democracy " into a third world banana republic. The Mexican president gets that right . The ZIONIST Jew controlled mainstream news media is too embedded with the Democratic Party even to pretend to be fair and objective in reporting the Donald Trump presidential campaign news. I speak as a longtime independent democratic socialist -not a MAGA zealot.
American imperialism and Israeli Zionism preparing us for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia
Inside the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party too many belligerent Zionist Jews seem determined to plunge " OUR democracy " into nuclear World War III with POST COMMUNIST Russia. And naturally they have belligerent APARTHEID Israel as a reliable ally ( along with the NATO " hero " war monger president of Ukraine , V. Zelensky ) .
What do working class CHRISTIAN Americans think about yet another stupid endless war ? Are we consulted ?
WE THE PEOPLE need a third party , an American Labor Party - like the British Labor Party but LESS moderate , more CLASS conscious
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think the now WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party focus on Donald Trump as the root of all evil in " OUR democracy " explains why " The Donald " is presently ahead of corrupt , senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden in public opinion surveys. Prepare for catastrophe in the 2024 presidential election, WOKE Democrats!
Soon this phony " friend of labor " party will only be EXPERIENCED as the party of WAR , INFLATION , DEPRESSION , and SOCIAL DISORDER ( a WOKE paradise ! ).
WE THE PEOPLE need a third party , an American Labor Party, like the British Labor Party but LESS moderate , more CLASS conscious.
" HOW THE WORLD WORKS : THE UNIVERSE : FROM THE BIG BANG ... "
For me this is one of the better popular explanations of the origin of the universe . But the so called " singularity " IN THE BEGINNING where INFINITE energy is concentrated into an infinitely small " point " is conceptually meaningless. To be sure , WE begin in MYSTERY for which there is no SCIENTIFIC explanation. But up to that " point " the SCIENCE is highly credible and self-confident . As a non-scientist I am quite satisfied to learn what happened AFTER the first three minutes. Leave some room for Spinoza's God ( as did Albert Einstein ) or even for the Biblical " Genesis " : " LET THERE BE LIGHT " ( explains " why there is something rather than nothing " ) . But recall the warning of the now world famous , Providence , Rhode Island horror writer H.P. Lovecraft :
[ “The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.”]

Syria - American imperialism is colluding with Israeli Zionism to plunge our not -so-free world into nuclear World War III with a new designated " axis of evil " : Russia, China, Iran
American imperialism is colluding with Israeli Zionism to plunge our not-so-free world into nuclear World War III with a new designated " axis of evil " : Russia, China , Iran ". This " axis of evil " just fails to live up to the exalted high standards of " OUR democracy ". Consult the CIA , DEEP STATE , Homeland Security , the Pentagon War Crimes Machine .
Do ordinary working class CHRISTIANS have any say in a hopelessly belligerent foreign policy ? Will it be a happier world on " The Day After " ?
A SOLUTION for these fiendish guns not being sold to any psychopath or jackass in the country ?
THE GUN - apart from military weapons - is one of the most diabolical inventions of all time. A 6 year old with gun can end or destroy your life in seconds - not to speak of the pain and misery of " recovery ". But guns are COMMODITIES mass produced in FOR PROFIT factories before they are sold often to any psychopath or jackass in the country .
Why not STOP THE KILLING at the very place of manufacture ? A democratic socialist government could quickly HALT the production and distribution of all bullets.
And it is indeed possible to create a society where nobody feels the need for this fiendish thing called a gun. And then they will cease even to be manufactured .
An end to the capitalist Death Culture !
One less than " revolutionary " thought on reforming public school education
One less than " revolutionary " suggestion : there are probably millions of accomplished semi-retired individuals in every profession - or skilled workers- capable and willing to teach public school kids. But they only lack the stupefying education and the gate keeper CERTIFICATE of teacher colleges. Perhaps EDUCATION should not be separate from WORK . Why not PAY students for on the job training without tracking them into one job groove ?
There are more important things to teach young public schools kids than fawning or gushing admiration for various vociferous and hyper-sensitive " communities " . Identifying yourself with this or that " community " is not an accomplishment in life.
Why do these WOKE " liberal " Democrats in " OUR democracy " still slobber over royalty ?
I note that Britain's King Charles has just cancelled a planned visit to France. Better not infuriate the revolutionary Paris mob with reminders of past royal arrogance. As in 1789 Why do these WOKE " liberal " Democrats in " OUR democracy " still slobber over royalty ? Do they see it as yet another bulwark against SOCIALISM ?

We democratic socialists support this strike of Rhode Island School of Design workers
No surprise that all the WOKE colleges and universities invariably show themselves to be snobby , snotty enemies of the working class , of their very own exploited workers. We democratic socialists support this strike of Rhode Island School of Design workers. Do not expect any courageous support from the local Democratic Party hacks
Unlike conservative Republican voters the WOKE Democrats are TOTALLY out of touch with ordinary working class Americans . And I speak as an old SOCIALIST !
As a longtime independent democratic SOCIALIST ( I understand Trump wants SOCIALISM banned everywhere in the United States as part of MAGA - Making American Great Again ) I am turned off by this endless Democratic Party based persecution and harassment of Donald Trump.
The now WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party obsessing on Donald Trump as the root of all evil in " OUR democracy " , endlessly harassing him and slandering his ordinary working class supporters as " deplorables " ( CHRISTIAN " deplorables " ? ) continues to alienate and disgust most working class Christians.
In fact , the ILLIBERAL LIBERAL Democrats betray " OUR democracy " every day now. Sanctimonious on condemning all varieties of HATE ( except their own ) for years they have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism . And they are prepared to plunge the world into nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia over a dubiously " sovereign " Ukraine.
The WOKE " liberal " Democrats -unlike the conservative Republicans - are TOTALLY out of touch with ordinary working class Americans. Take it from an old socialist !
Peter Camejo : " How to Make a Revolution in the United States " ( 1969 )
Peter Camejo, 1969
How to make a revolution in the United States
Source : Speech at an educational conference of the US Socialist Workers Party and Young Socialist Alliance, May 3, 1969, printed in abridged form in The Militant, May 30, 1969
Transcription and mark-up : by Steve Painter
[Revolutionary socialists have been accused for many years of wanting to overthrow the US government by force and violence. When they accuse us of this, what they are really trying to do is to imply that we want to abolish capitalism with a minority, that we want to force the will of the minority on the majority. The opposite is the truth. We believe we can win a majority of the people in this country to support a change in the system. It will be necessary to make a revolution precisely because the ruling powers will not peacefully accept a majority rule which wants a basic change.
How can a revolution involving a majority of the people actually take place in the United States? This is the question I want to discuss today.
First of all, you have to have clear in your mind the meaning of the word “revolution”. Many people have a stereotyped picture of what a revolution is like. They say a revolution is when people come with guns, when they surround a fortress or take over a city. What they do is they confuse revolution with insurrection. Insurrection is just one stage of revolution. Revolution is a lot more. It’s a long process.
In a certain way you can make a parallel between revolution and pregnancy. In the very early stages of pregnancy, if just on empirical evidence you ask whether or not someone is pregnant, the answer will be no. However, with the use of science you can determine whether the person is pregnant very early. Later on it becomes evident for everybody to see.
The same thing is true of social revolution. In the early stages most people don’t see it. You always begin on the assumption that in every society that needs a revolution, the majority of the people don’t think it’s possible. This is most certainly true for the period in American history we are in right now. We’re in the early stages of the third American revolution. I say the third revolution because we’ve had two others — the revolution of 1776 and the civil war.]
WOKE Zionist Jews patronize, mentor , groom, and corrupt ambitious Black leaders
WOKE Zionist Jews, prominent in the Democratic Party , have a marked propensity for patronizing , mentoring , grooming, and corrupting ambitious future Black leaders. But decadent Hollywood probably has more influence on them than George Soros. Ask Chuck Todd to bring this topic up on " Meet the Press ".
Why is American " fascist " Donald Trump still popular in APARTHEID Israel ?
I speak as long time independent democratic socialist.
How many of our kids are rushing to military recruiting offices eager to save " sovereign " Ukraine ?
Take a survey : Most working class CHRISTIAN Americans are getting tired of this NATO " hero " war monger ZIONIST Jew V. Zelensky . The GREAT CRUSADE - inspired by Wilsonian blather - for a " sovereign " Ukraine is not worth nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia .
How many of our kids and grand kids are rushing to Army , Navy , Marine recruiting offices ? They have sense !
The state bureaucrats would just like to make the homeless people less visible
The homeless in Rhode Island will soon be pitching their tents in the area set aside for that FIELD OF DREAMS soccer stadium. The state bureaucrats would just like to make the homeless people less visible and therefore less EMBARRASSING to their " system ". Collectively the homeless pose a threat to capitalist-landlord PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. The most theatrical compassionate " progressive " Democratic Party connected activists for the homeless don't dare mention this . Still , where do all those MILLIONS of DOLLARS go ?

WOKE Democrats out of touch with ordinary working class ( and mostly CHRISTIAN ) Americans ?
Very much ON THE LEFT myself , a long time independent democratic socialist I can only protest this baseless political harassment of the former president of the United States , Donald Trump. The WOKE WARRIOR Democrats talk and act as if they just own " OUR democracy " in which Trump is the root of all evil. In fact, for decades now the " liberal " Democrats seem more like a scary " It Can't Happen Here " ( the famous Sinclair Lewis novel ) fascist menace than conservative and religious Republicans.
Their contempt for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization is truly alarming . In their WOKE ideology and obsessive IDENTITY POLITICS they have actually abandoned the rational and scientific belief in OBJECTIVE REALITY .
Are these WOKE Democrats even vaguely aware that they are completely out of touch with ordinary working class ( and mostly CHRISTIAN ) Americans ?
The DUNKIN DONUTS, RIPTA BUS COMPANY RIP OFF
It does seem that DUNKIN survives on the basis of human SOCIAL habits . It is really so much cheaper to just brew your own hot coffee in the morning . Some gatherings of retired souls I see in the near Garden City DUNKIN seem like virtual social clubs . Because the RIPTA RIP OFF bus company no longer gives you a change card I must sometimes spend nearly 5 dollars at DUNKIN just to get the right change for the bus. Here the greedy capitalists assist one another. Also RIPTA no longer gives transfers . You pay in full on all trips.
Yes, indeed, greedy Corporate America conspires with one another in screwing ordinary working class people.
Needed a saving sense of humor in " The Culture of Narcissism "
To be sure " OUR democracy " should not punish awkward political incorrectness with some ludicrous form of exile. There is much narcissism and self-important arrogance in these now numerous identity politics " communities ". Are they not a spiritual and intellectual ghetto ?
Why not just brush off most offensive comments ? Needed a saving sense of humor in " The Culture of Narcissism ".
How few WOKE Democrats are " sensitive " about the daily exploitation and oppression of the WHOLE American working class ? Any " reparations " for this indignity ?
Such a truly monstrous ORWELLIAN state bureaucracy oversees car owners in Rhode Island
Such a truly monstrous ORWELLIAN state bureaucracy oversees car owners in Rhode Island - and in the USA - that I do not regret giving up driving more than 25 years ago. A car will make you FREE ?

To be homeless in America for any length is to be condemned to daily attacks on your physical and mental health
To be homeless in America for any length of time is to be condemned to daily attacks on your physical and mental health. Capitalist America cannot accommodate a relatively small proportion of the population ? Is there some character test that you fail in order to be judged unworthy of a civilized roof over your head ? Imprisoned criminals get more respect ! I recall a famous O 'Henry short story titled " The Cop and the Anthem ". The character, homeless " Soapy ," kept trying to get arrested ( in order to get through the long cold, New York City winter ) .
The now EXPANDING universe ? Anyway the wonder of it all is worthy of Spinoza's God ( as Einstein would think )
We can at least TRUST the scientific method to give us a sequence over time of relative " truths " . I think Isaac Asimov explained this well in his book titled " The Relativity of Wrong ". The BIG BANG and BLACK HOLES and DARK MATTER and DARK ENERGY and Einstein's GENERAL RELATIVITY all move along an always receding path to ABSOLUTE TRUTH . They will never be discredited nonsense . It would be boring to actually arrive at ABSOLUTE TRUTH . Spare us this heaven ! One attribute of GOD would be that HE-SHE-IT - THEY would be above BOREDOM .
I do think it is intellectual arrogance to be actually annoyed by all humble talk of GOD . There was something obnoxious about those not so " NEW ATHEISTS ".
Anyway ,the wonder of it all is worthy of Spinoza's God ( as Einstein would think )
" What are the most common regrets that people have once they grow old ? "
[ " I will be 60 in a couple of months. My wife passed away from cancer in 2021. My life has been about shedding away way more than I would have liked over these past months. We were married 37 years, together 38. I regret that I did what most, maybe all, young people do, assume too much.
When we're young we assume that we know what's true. We don't. We listen to people who claim to know what's true. They don't. I regret that I wasn't the person I am now. I don't have many opinions. Opinions are destroying us as people because we have been taught that opinions matter more than a simple love for one another.
I sat with my wife as she breathed her last breath. I learned then that very little matters at the end of it all. What does matter a great deal is always efforting to be a better person. Goodness and compassion are far more important than thinking one is right and defending that. If I could go back in time I would worry less, spend my time and money on relationships and experiences and forget about many of the things that we are taught matter. I now know they do not.
You can have a huge house a perfect car and an amazing job. When you die, and you will die, those won't be the things that you will wish you had focused on. I can tell you that we actually have very few actual needs. We have a ton of wants. Those wants burn up our life." ]
The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has completely destroyed the illusion that THE LAW rises above politics
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I note just how much the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has completely destroyed the illusion ( and illusion it was ) that THE LAW rises above politics. And their obsessive IDENTITY POLITICS only serves to instigate RACE antagonism. In their sanctimonious rants against HATE the " liberal " , progressive " , WOKE Democrats have made their party more hateful than they imagined the CHRISTIAN RIGHT to be.
They have turned ordinary CHRISTIAN decency into suspicious , Orwellian THOUGHT CRIME.
It is utterly ridiculous to arrest former President Donald Trump over some sordid sex soap opera.
No way is corrupt , senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden going to get a second term . Perhaps old " socialist " Bernie Sanders can rescue this moribund party. I usually give critical support to all " fugitives from the camp of victory ".

There was a more enlightened attitude toward child molesters in the late 50s and early 60s
It seems to me that there was a more humane enlightened attitude toward these pathetic seedy man child molesters back in the late 50s and early 60s . I recall reading about them in some " Science Digest " articles. At the time there were still functional state mental institutions. Today the threatened " neighbors " with the instigation of POLICE ALERTS and the sanctimonious mainstream news media seem to arouse a no-pity lynch mob atmosphere on these very disturbed souls.
On the outside of prison how can endless boredom ( try finding a job ? ) and fear of daily harassment help rehabilitate their minds ? I wonder what old Dr. Freud , the famous psychiatrist , thought about these cases of the incorrigible child molesters ? I doubt if he ever had an accused Catholic priest for a patient .
Like all normal human beings the convicted child molester needs to " get a life" - both inside and outside prison.

Our over praised " free " capitalist system is challenged to find - not decent HOMES - but just presentable shelters for a few hundred individuals ? What percentage of the population of Rhode Island ? A democratic socialist government in Rhode Island would simply commandeer ready to convert capitalist-landlord PRIVATE PROPERTY . NOT the homeless people would be threatened with jail !
The Good Earth is dying . I refer you to H.P. Lovecraft's " COSMIC HORROR ".
Only a post-capitalist WORLD GOVERNMENT can even hope to deal effectively with a coming environmental catastrophe. But remember the the GOOD EARTH has a long history when no humans were around to interfere with titanic forces INSIDE the hell hot earth . Earth History describes a paradoxical SNOWBALL EARTH that lasted a million years .
The Permian Age was known as the Great Extinction. The sad truth is that we humans are just a passing phenomenon on the 4 and half billion years planet.

This REPARATIONS nonsense can only appeal to ignorant but ambitious , PETTY BOURGEOIS , social climbing ( especially via AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ) Black individuals
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think this REPARATIONS nonsense can only appeal to fundamentally ignorant but ambitious , PETTY BOURGOIS , social climbing ( especially via AFFIRMATIVE ACTION ) Black individuals. The kind you find SHOWTIME in Hollywood .
What is fundamental since 1865 is what the white working class and the Black working class have in common : subjection to capitalist WAGE SLAVERY .
A socialist revolution is not about REPARATIONS for centuries of EXPLOITATION and OPPRESSION of the working class. It is about establishing - hopefully by peaceful means - a more rational , more just SOCIALIST economic system . A system which will not confer millionaire status on ANYBODY whatever their stories of abused ancestors .
WE THE PEOPLE will then inherit neither hopeless misery nor unearned wealth .
Find a Rhode Island Democrat politician with any social imagination
A democratic socialist myself , as registered voter in Cranston I still look for and consider " lesser evil " Democrats on Election Day ( to make our state side life less depressing ) . But it is hard to find a " viable " Rhode Island politician ambitious for higher office with any social imagination. What a bunch of hacks ! None of them think outside the proverbial box. Sabina Matos was off my short list the moment I heard her flatter President " Sleepy Joe " Biden and bless him for another term. What more can we want than corrupt , senile , creepy Joe Biden ? No , I won't consider " The Donald " !
Whatever " defunding the police " means in a major crime wave they should not be lacking a decent work environment
Whatever " defunding the police means " in a major crime wave they should not be lacking a decent work environment . Chaos and disorder in the work place can create its own unhappy mental state. Personal happiness in individuals naturally generates personal kindness. If you want the over-policed MASSES to be more kind and considerate , find a way to make them less miserable. My " perfect gentleman " grandfather on my mother's side ( William Engley ) was a cop on the South Providence beat in the 1930s Great Depression decade . He was nicknamed " Red " for his red hair , not his politics. He was understandably an FDR Democrat : " You will never get a dry bone from those Republicans " , was his refrain at Sunday dinners.

On all fronts the Democratic Party is abandoning common sense and common decency
The Democratic Party elite are simply insane to think that they occupy the moral high ground in their political intrigue against former president Donald Trump. I speak as long time independent democratic socialist. On all fronts the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party is abandoning common sense and common decency. In just a few years it has completely alienated the Christian working class " deplorables ".
Just how popular is corrupt , senile , creepy " Sleepy Joe " Biden ? And as Conqueror of Afghanistan our next great war time leader against POST COMMUNIST Russia ? Enjoy " The Day After " with Uncle Joe Biden !
And the Democratic Party is more easily associated with Hollywood sexual decadence than conservative Republicans in the occasional grip of hedonist SIN . An American president can be arrested for this nonsense ?
The pillars of WOKE nonsense are secular , anti- Christian , ZIONIST Jews in an unholy alliance with the obnoxious New Atheism
Early this morning I caught this Red Eye Radio ( 630 WPRO ) talk show expressing shock and moral revulsion at the now permitted ( ? ) " transgender " sexual mutilation of children : My opinion :
I speak as a longtime independent democratic socialist - not as MAGA Trump fan or a religious zealot : this is truly a WOKE crime against humanity ! A little scholarly research will reveal that the pillars of WOKE ideology, and a new warped version of " science ", are secular , openly anti-Christian ZIONIST Jews connected to WOKE Ivy League schools - in an unholy alliance with the obnoxious New Atheism ( which scorns OBJECTIVE REALITY as much as any religious superstitions ).
These crackpot WOKE ideas -like the sexual mutilation of children - have absolutely nothing to do with traditional SOCIALIST values and programs. Karl Marx 's pithy remark that " ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class " hints that OUR ruling class is cracking up as its capitalist economic system hopelessly decays.
More and more this privileged capitalist class -leaning toward Ayn Rand's philosophy ( as expressed in her well titled book " Virtue of Selfishness " ) - shows a loathing for life affirming Catholicism and traditional Protestantism .
The Ayn Rand ZIONIST Jews have completely abandoned the God of the Old Testament , of today's Orthodox Jews.

World Socialist Web Site sees left wing journalist Chris Hedges as sucking up to the Far Right ?
[ On March 5, under the headline “Lynching the Deplorables,” journalist Chris Hedges published a column on his Substack blog opposing the prosecution of participants in the right-wing mob attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, as part of former President Donald Trump’s failed coup attempt.
The column endorses the fascist narrative of the January 6 attack as a harmless protest of frustrated and disenfranchised citizens. It covers up the political significance of the events of that day, the first ever attempt by a US president to overturn an election defeat and remain in power. And it grossly exaggerates the Department of Justice’s reaction, presenting it as the unduly harsh and possibly illegal persecution of innocent demonstrators, rather than as a limited and reluctant response to an unsuccessful attempt at a coup d’etat.]
According to Socialist Equality Party leader David North left wing journalist Chris Hedges is now sucking up to the Far Right ?
As a longtime democratic socialist I view with dismay a growing contempt on both the Left and the Right for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. The author of " 1984 " , George Orwell , would not have failed to notice this if he were around today.
I note that Chris Hedges has recently been " unfriended " by David North 's weirdly sectarian Socialist Equality Party in control of the often worth reading World Socialist Web Site. More obscure ME was banned permanently on the WSWS after being unmasked as their " resident Catholic , fascist , anti-Semite " . A somewhat inaccurate description of my political philosophy as expressed by Radical Ron's Blog Spot going back to the year 1997 and earlier.
So now we are to believe that Chris Hedges is sucking up to the Far Right ?

How greedy can this Martin Hoke character get ? A former sleazy ,election losing Republican member of Congress ?
Anti-war public opinion in the United States is being smothered and censored by a ZIONIST Jew controlled news media
As longtime independent democratic socialist - a long way from wearing a Trump MAGA hat- I think the WOKE Democratic Party is totally corrupt in its half-mad pursuit of Trump as the root of all evil in " OUR democracy ".
The Democratic Party has promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism since the very beginning of the Trump administration . There was nothing FAIR about the ridiculous COLLUSION with Putin investigations by Congress. Trump' s 2016 shocking surprise victory over Hillary Clinton was just as legitimate as Joe Biden's 2020 election victory over Trump.
Fundamentally the TWO PARTY system in this country is corrupt . In fact, every presidential election is rigged in favor of the American plutocracy . But in recent years DEEP STATE , the CIA , the FBI favors the now WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. Matters within our ruling class are not always harmonious !
Anti-war public opinion in the United States is being smothered and censored by a ZIONIST Jew controlled mainstream news media. PROVE me wrong here !
WHAT do WE THE PEOPLE really think ?
