If you look at the GOOD EARTH from the perspective of a space ship approaching the Moon , you might have a not so strange epiphany : nation-state quarrels and ethnic identity conflicts , and differing views on the " God Question " should not lead to nuclear war destruction of CIVILIZATION ( which made the exploration of outer space possible ) and possibly ALL higher forms of LIFE on OUR -one and only -planet GOOD EARTH . Will REASON prevail ?
[ Sigmund Freud said, "The voice of the intellect is a soft one, but it will not rest until it has gained a hearing. Finally, after a countless succession of rebuffs, it succeeds" in The Future of an Illusion.]
Here is what ZIONIST Jew war criminal, leader of APARTHEID Israel, has done for the cause of" Never Again!": he has made the Jewish State the most hated country on the planet. A pointing finger of shame will greet Israeli visitors in most civilized nations.The mainstream news media will not be able to hide it.
You really must have a really obtuse brain to think the economic elites in capitalist countries are so high up , own so much wealth ( like more than 80 precent of the population ! ) because they have so much more " merit " as human being than the rest of us hoi-polloi ; because they are so much smarter and even much more hard working than the rest of us .
Petty bourgeois intellectual defenders of CAPITALISM talk and write as if Karl Marx never published an earth shaking work titled " Das Kapital ".
Nothing is more obvious to an honest , politically literate person than that the capitalist system , as Marx analyzed it , is a system of exploitation and oppression of the masses
[ One perhaps long forgotten science scholar, J.D. Bernal writes , in his book " Science In History " :
" Marx thus demonstrated that capitalism ,far from being a system of natural justice as the classical economists maintained, was one of extortion imposed by arbitrary force. It was the central concept of EXPLOITATION ,which the economists had hidden from themselves , that was to give the explosive force to Marx's teaching ".
.... " It was not that workers and peasants had not felt exploited for centuries, it was rather that now they could understand the mechanism through which the exploitation was carried on ".
" The implications of Marxism were so repugnant to the ruling bourgeoisie of the time that it is not surprising that for another fifty years all over the world , and until today in a large part of it , they were ignored and rejected by the official exponents of social science . "
( Bernal's book was first published in Great Britain 1954 ) ]
Many petty bourgeois intellectuals embrace a phony brand of " socialism " while invariably betraying the ideas and spirit of SOCIALISM as a mass movement . The phony leftists gravitate in recent decades toward the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party and amazingly make themselves obnoxious to working class CHRISTIAN Americans and to all honest socialist humanists . Hard core Marxists had their number more than a century ago when all these public intellectuals embraced the Wilsonian blather of the First World War , the one to " make the world safe for democracy ".
Like the vast majority of Democratic Party members its " Far Left" can not and will not think outside the box of CAPITALISM , MILITARISM, and ISRAELI Zionism.
Very soon these " progressive " types will be cheering on nuclear World War III against POST-COMMUNIST Russia ( even China, Iran , North Korea , Venezuela , " Axis of Evil " countries ? ). And Embracing as dear allies the ZIONIST Jew war criminal leading APARTHEID Israel , Benjamin Netanyahu and the warmonger , embezzler of " Greater Israel " Ukraine , V. Zelensky .
NOTE : WOKE issues have almost nothing to do with classic Marxism which focuses on CLASS STRUGGLE not the problems of the neurotic, self-absorbed LGBTQ+ " community " and the social climbing obstacles of the Black petty-bourgeoisie .
Why not add a footnote lecture here with references in the archives of Marxism to " The Treason of the Intellectuals " and " Intellectual in Retreat " ( from any " dangerous " cause too sympathetic to real SOCIALISM ? ). Shortly after the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917 ( before the Stalinist " betrayal " ) petty bourgeois public intellectuals were horrified by the militant Marxist leadership of Lenin and Trotsky ) . Even more than a century later talk of abolishing PRIVATE PROPERTY sets them to fear and trembling . Imagine taking this shocking idea seriously !
No puzzle why for decades pseudo-leftists have found a home in the pro-capitalist, pro-militarist, pro-Zionist WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party . The "WOKE " is invariably a fatuous distraction and ideological detour away from CLASS STRUGGLE.
The coming American Socialist Revolution will not be ignited by professorial philistines in Ivy League academia .
The Kamala Harris -Joe Biden WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party and their administration was packed with belligerent ZIONIST Jews who promoted, for years now, the HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism . Lately, it does seem that not a few ZIONIST Jews are dropping their WOKE masks and going over to the really tough guys, the Trump MAGA Republicans ( consult celebrity " liberal " lawyer Alan Dershowitz ) .
To both the WASP wing and the ZIONIST Jew wing of the American plutocracy in " OUR democracy " what WE THE PEOPLE think about the wisdom of nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia is beneath consideration .
The belligerent ZIONIST Jews all over have the privilege of citizenship in two countries. And one is dearer than the other ! Senate Democrat leader Chuck Schumer said a while back that he wants to be " guardian angel " of Israel. Would he repeat that on our border with Mexico ?
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I can readily see RFK Jr.'s political virtues . He can save his soul , I think , but not the putrescent soul of the now WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. It IS ideologically dominated by secular , anti-Christian , ZIONIST Jews. They have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism. And are pillars of WOKE thinking in the nation's public schools. Of course, they do not apply Critical Race Theory to APARTHEID Israel ! And in the mainstream news media of " OUR democracy " they play no small role in smearing and blackballing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - himself a true " Profile in Courage ". They smeared honest medical doctors who dared DISSENT on the COVID-19 pandemic . They showed contempt for Freedom of Religion, with special animosity toward traditional Catholicism.
When it comes to petty hatefulness the WOKE DEMOCRATS outmatch any CHRISTIAN working class " deplorables " who would still vote for Donald Trump. For decades now they have betrayed the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. And robot like, they repeat the mantra that Donald Trump is the root of evil in " OUR democracy " of which THEY are the true champions ( led by corrupt , senile , creepy , " Sleepy Joe " Biden , the Conqueror of Afghanistan and would be great war time leader for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ) .
Can RFK Jr. rise above this muck ?
A political evolution from phony " Trotskyist " to pro-capitalist, pro- militarist, God-hater, Zionist Jew ( via his grandmother ? ) . And Christopher Hitchens died a drunk not mourned except by the pseudo-Left and by the obnoxious New Atheism cult.

How many stupid and ignorant but brutal and vigorous young people can the bourgeois governments of Europe recruit for nihilistic nuclear World War III against POST -COMMUNIST Russia? I wonder if the warmongering ZIONIST Jew censorship of American public opinion in " OUR democracy " will REMOVE this post. I will send it to my Facebook page ( 5000 friends maximum ) and to my blog " Radical Ron's Blog Spot " ( approaching a MILION views ).
How many young fools can American imperialism recruit to fight for the warmonger , embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? How many young fools can be recruited for the defense of the Zionist APARTHEID Israel presently led by the war criminal, WANTED Benjamin Netanyahu ?
Will the Donald Trump WASP wing of the American plutocracy prove to be less belligerent than the Kamala Harris-Joe Biden ZIONIST Jew wing ? ". OUR democracy " awaits his decisions.
What happened Nov 25, 2024 We removed your post Ron Ruggieri Nov 25, 2024 Reactionary liars on the payroll of American imperialism and Israeli Zionism ! For more than a century Marxists have made the point that WE THE PEOPLE have a choice between SOCIALISM or barbarism. In what way ( look around the world ) is American capitalist-imperialism and Israeli-capitalist Zionism preserving Western Civilization ? By nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? By co-operating in genocide in Gaza, Palestine ? In hoarding the wealth and resources of the world ? In ruining the lives of countless working class and lower middle class people ? How on Earth does less than ONE PERCENT of the population end up with 90 percent of the wealth ? By working harder and being " smarter " than everybody else ? Karl Marx gave " civilization " a more cogent explanation of the profit system in "Das Kapital " .
Ron Ruggieri , 75 Mathewson St., Cranston, Rhode Island ( 401-580-7432 )
Why is TRUTH scratched over in my post below ? With amazing chutzpah, an army of ZIONIST Jew censors continue to block anti-war American public opinion . You do not have to be a goose stepping Neo-Nazi to see this !
Trump and his MAGA-Republican administration my be setting the stage for " It Can't Happen Here " American fascism. But if so , the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party prepared the way. How much respect did THEY show for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. To be sure, anti-CHRISTIAN WOKE ideology obsessed with identity politics and the nth dimension of LGBTQ+ " community " rights placed the once organized labor , working class oriented ( at least in rhetoric ) Democratic Party completely out of touch with the American working class. Also the Biden Harris administration and the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party packed with belligerent ZIONIST Jews failed to see that working class Americans of all races and ethnic groups were turned off by the crimes against humanity of APARTHEID Israel . While ironically ACLU lawyers from Jewish backgrounds defended vicious and vacuous " Critical Race Theory " in the nation's public schools , colleges , and universities. And while the party of " progress " abandoned real science for pseudo-science , rainbow spectrum gender nonsense ( infuriating to working class CHRISTIANS ) .
For this long time independent democratic socialist it remains to be seen what form American FASCISM will take. Inevitably it will culminate in a major war ! " OUR democracy " must spread all around the world !
Reactionary liars on the payroll of American imperialism and Israeli Zionism ! For more than century Marxists have made the point that WE THE PEOPLE have a choice between SOCIALISM or barbarism. In what way ( look around the world ) is American capitalist-imperialism and Israeli-capitalist Zionism preserving Western Civilization ? By nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ?

How on Earth does less than ONE PERCENT of the population end up with 90 percent of the wealth ? By working harder and being " smarter " than everybody else ? Karl Marx gave " civilization " a more cogent explanation of the profit system in Das Kapital .
The American plutocracy, seemingly dominated for decades now by its secular ZIONIST Jew wing, imagines that it can start nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia and Islamic Iran ( and other " Axis of Evil " countries ) with ZERO support from the CHRISTIAN-MUSLIM working class. What kind of " victory " can missiles alone bring ?
[ "At the opening Friday evening of her new exhibition entitled “This Will Not End Well,” at the Neue Nationalgalerie [New National Gallery] in Berlin, US artist and photographer Nan Goldin condemned both Israel and Germany for their role in the genocide in Gaza and its extension into Lebanon.
At the start of her 14-minute speech to a packed audience (excerpts available here and here), Goldin called for four minutes of silence in remembrance of the victims of the conflict in the Palestinian territories and Lebanon, as well as civilians killed in Israel. " ]
Here in " OUR democracy " the mainstream news media daily censors anti-war American public opinion .
Where does the US Constitution assert that a state of war should exist between organized religion and the State ? The biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM . It was making the State an " officially atheist " tyranny .
References to the Old Testament Bible and to the New Testament abound in the cultural tradition of Western Civilization which also includes the collected works of the bold French philosopher Voltaire. In my elementary schoolroom I recall praying " The Prayer Perfect " with little psychological damage. Also, I do miss that " Ten Commandments " monument in Roger Williams Park, Providence, Rhode Island. What difference did it make that the majority of park visitors were not offended by words like : " Thou shat not kill " ... " Thou shalt honor thy mother and thy father "... " Thou shalt not steal " on the iconic monument. What mattered here was that a few sniveling WOKE Democrat, New Atheists were offended.
On the side I would also say that I miss the Pre-Vatican Catholic Church with its Latin Mass, its gravitas and mystique.
Am I one of those odious RIGHT WING Christians who would applaud the Salem Witchcraft Trial ? No, in Election 2024 I wrote-in the ghost of Eugene V. Debs , five times Socialist Party candidate for president of the United States.
NOTE : " OUR democracy " has nothing to do with MAJORITY RULE anymore ? WHO matters now are the tiny minority of vociferous cranks ?
To be sure, the social-economic system of CAPITALISM generates the " Culture of Narcissism " . The LEADERS are invariably pre-selected by the quite narcissistic most influential members of the American plutocracy. The last thing these people want to see is any degree of SELF-LOVE -CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS developing in the working class. Ordinary people too are conditioned not to think outside the box of CAPITALISM, MILITARISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM. To channel public opinion on all issues into the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM - that is left to the " expert " propagandists employed by the mainstream news media of " OUR democracy " . But today the sun is setting on American imperialism together forever with Israeli Zionism in crimes against humanity .
The MAGA-REPUBLICAN rout of the Biden-Harris WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party was also a referendum on the mainstream news media including NBC, ABC, CBS , MSNBC . Do they have enough CHUTZPAH left to confidently BIG LIE " OUR democracy " , this mostly working class CHRISTIAN nation, into nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? When was the last time ANY Democrat running for any high office could be identified as even a semi-pacifist PEACE CANDIDATE ?
Former Trotskyist -and permanent alcoholic - Christopher Hitchens - was a leading light of the obnoxious " New Atheism ". His road show was all about trashing FAITH , but the criminal invasion and occupation of Iraq strengthened his faith in American imperialism and Israeli Zionism ( even with no belief in Old Testament stories ).
As a long time independent democratic socialist I have suspected for years now that the Israel Lobby world wide was propping up the " New Atheism " . The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party in " OUR democracy " is also a pillar of Zionism . Does the morality of the New Atheism support genocide in Gaza , Palestine ?
Christopher Hitchens' book " God Is Not Great " - how religion poisons everything " is a classic of the New Atheism cult, an elitist snob cult not so much opposed to irrationalism that it opposes irrational capitalism and arrogant American imperialism together forever with Israeli Zionism in crimes against humanity.
The former Trotskyist Hitchens might have considered that the biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM - it was making itself an " officially atheist " tyranny. American author Gore Vidal had no use for Christopher Hitchens ( even after he proudly discovered that his grandmother was Jewish ( ? ) . Anyway ,Christopher Hitchens deserves a footnote in a revised edition of Leon Trotsky's " The Revolution Betrayed ".

I was big into Hitch when I started to embrace atheism more, but the more I listened to him the more I realised that he has a lot of really colonial hang-ups. His praise towards the Iraq war is my best example, and I remember finding a lot of his rhetoric bigoted.

Hitchens: "Capitalism survived a number of its crisis and collapses, and has reemerged as a very dynamic and innovative force." Of course, he doesn't realize that one could say that for slavery.

I've read his old essays on socialist topics and he was never a socialist in my honest opinion. An opportunist, a liberal anti-communist, a phony trotskyist, many things, but never a genuine socialist. I used to like him, like others here, because of his witty remarks on the absurdity of religion, but now I watch with glee as he gets absolutely destroyed in the debate with George Galloway (not that Galloway is perfect either), and I spit on his grave for his racist and colonial views.
This is my perspective on the phenomenon of hitchens: he was a great prose stylist with quite an inventive wit, and the fact that he was more than once able to hit home runs when lobbed the underhand slow pitch of the biggest absurdities of religion is not surprising at all. Not that impressive, and not enough to overlook his bullshit.

He seemed to just make stuff up out of whole cloth without really thinking through alternative arguements whenever it suited him, that's all I see here. Fair enough he was outspoken against religion, but that does not a moral person make. He also wrote that Vanity Fair piece claiming that women aren't funny for biotruths reasons, which was maybe weird, and definitely unnecessary: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2007/01/hitchens200701

Wisdom of a "Tumultuous Sixties " THOUGHT CRIME : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? "
In 2024 THEY seems to be a cabal of belligerent ZIONIST Jews in Ukraine, APARTHEID Israel , and in " OUR democracy " USA ?
Any DISSENT allowed for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ?
As a longtime independent democratic socialist , I can easily how decadent capitalist society creates a morally repulsive " Culture of Narcissism " based on the circumscribed " I " - always " looking out for number one- " the soul smothering world of landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights.
Yes , there is definitely a " crisis of meaning " brought to us by the pro-CAPITALIST , pro-MILITARIST, and pro-ZIONIST mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " which daily censors every LUCID mind that actually understands and can explain why human civilization is in a severe existential crisis and on the brink of extinction.
Does even the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ,still controlled by senile Joe Biden and daffy Kamala Harris, go along with deranged plans for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ?
[ "Peterson has proposed cutting funding for liberal arts programs throughout Canada, claiming that students were being indoctrinated with "cultural Marxism".[91] He has said that "disciplines like women's studies should be defunded", advising freshman students to avoid subjects such as sociology, anthropology, English literature, ethnic studies, and racial studies, as well as other fields of study that he believes are corrupted by "post-modern neo-Marxists".[92][93][94] He has said that these fields propagate cult-like behaviour and safe-spaces.[93][92] In 2017 he said that he would create a website to reduce enrollment in "postmodern neo-Marxist cult classes by 75 per cent across the West", including women's and ethnic studies, prompting 'alarm' from the University of Toronto Faculty Association for Peterson's plan to "place under surveillance certain kinds of academic content". Peterson did not go on to develop such a website." ] WIKIPEDIA
As longtime independent democratic socialist I can concur with Dr. Jordan's war on fatuous WOKE ideology. But I do think that it is intellectually dishonest to associate it with " cultural Marxism ". Any politically literate person will understand that classic Marxism would never endorse the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party views on racism. sexism, " Critical Race Theory ", all this DNC based rainbow-genderism, very UNSCIENTIFIC drivel.
Classic Marxism focused on the exploiting and oppressive nature of the CAPITALIST SYSTEM. It strived to increase CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS where " the ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ".
In truth, the WOKE WARRIOR " liberals " are hostile to any orientation toward the working class. And the so called " FAR-LEFT " LGBTQ + " community smother their brains and souls in a semi-cult , intellectual ghetto.
Also , Marxism can in no way create its own " culture " within the bowels of the capitalist system. Even the rather " sick " COUNTER-CULTURE of the " Tumultuous Sixties " was doomed to fail. A socialist society will certainly not abolish all past " culture " . It will preserve everything that is good and precious in it :art, science, literature , music, architecture , the best of the cultural heritage of Western Civilization, the Judeo-Christian and Muslim contributions and often sublime moral philosophy .
As an INDEPENDENT democratic socialist I note very little passion in recent years- on the Left or on the Right - for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. It does seem that the majority of us would actually approve silencing our political , ideological , or cultural " enemy ". To be sure, that is not the way of classic Marxism or the way of SCIENCE.
In the 20th century the arch-corruptor of Marxism was Stalinism. And too many once sincere socialists , seduced by the false PHRASES of bourgeois democracy ,found a home in the " progressive " wing of the Democratic Party. And they have been rotting there -led by " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders - for decades !
I like what I just read on the World Socialist Web Site :
[ "The alarm must be sounded in Europe and internationally. Bombing another country is an act of war. Whether or not war has been declared, a state of war effectively exists between the world’s major nuclear-armed powers.
The Russian government has responded to these provocative attacks with increasingly blunt warnings of a military response. Far from stepping back from the brink, Washington and its NATO allies in Europe are continuing to escalate attacks on Russia. "
Led by American imperialism and Israeli Zionism ,the bourgeois governments of Europe are starting nuclear World War III with complete contempt for CHRISTIAN-ISLAMIC- SOCIALIST HUMANIST world public opinion. HISTORY teachers that oppressive regimes are easily overthrown in war time. Consider CZARIST Russia in 1917 . What if there is a second Bolshevik Revolution ? Once again " communism " , socialism " and " Ten Days That Shook the World " ( the title of American journalist John Reed's classic account of events in Russia leading up to the " Storming of the Winter Palace " .
Well, the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has been promoting the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism for years now. FINALLY they will get the REGIME CHANGE in Moscow - just what they wanted !
I am only a somewhat science literate , old man now, democratic socialist. It does seems to me that most of the broken hearts here might have benefited from understanding that no careers are immune from the irrationality of the capitalist system. No surprise to me that name brands in science research and science academia and public celebrity scientists like Neil DeGrasse Tyson are warped, corrupt, and phony human beings. I smile when I recall a book titled " The End of Science" by John Horgan .
When I read about " God Particle " ( we await the Coming of the Son of God Particle ! ) I am reminded of the French writer Albert Camus and his classic views on " THE ABSURD " :
[ “Yet all the knowledge on earth will give me nothing to assure me that this world is mine. You describe it to me and you teach me to classify it. You enumerate its laws and in my thirst for knowledge I admit that they are true. You take apart its mechanism and my hope increases. At the final stage you teach me that this wondrous and multi-colored universe can be reduced to the atom and that the atom itself can be reduced to the electron. All this is good and I wait for you to continue. But you tell me of an invisible planetary system in which electrons gravitate around a nucleus. You explain this world to me with an image. I realize then that you have been reduced to poetry: I shall never know.”]
― Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus and Other Essays
Within the framework of CAPITALISM, MILITARISM , and ISRAELI ZIONISM ALL government institutions in " OUR democracy " are essentially a joke. As a long time independent democratic socialist I wrote-in the ghost of Eugene V. Debs on my Rhode Island 2024 Election ballot .
What Election 2024 was all about : an attempt to resolve an ideological brawl within the American plutocracy : bitterness between the " Old Money " WASP and " New Money " secular ZIONIST Jew . The latter was confident that their control over the mainstream news media and much social media would rout MAGA-REPUBLICAN Donald Trump . This time WASP won ironically appealing to working class CHRISTIAN " deplorables " .
Also, Election 2024 was an unofficial referendum on the credibility of the " FAKE NEWS " ( Donald's Trump's refrain ) . Now it seems that even pernicious WOKE is " Gone With The Wind " .
Despite the vicious ideological brawl NO Democrat or Republican politician , who holds office for any length of time, can or will think outside the box of CAPITALISM, MILITARISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM . What WE THE PEOPLE really feel is quite another matter : " Do You Hear The People Sing ? "

Can anything be more silly than " Rhode Island's Anchorman ", Gene Valicenti @ 630WPRO repeatedly " blocking " text messages from " Ridiculous Ron " ( " The SOCIALIST " ! - warned by Genial Gene to " take his meds " ) when Gene has no intention of READING on air any of them ? I suggested in yet another BLOCKED text that Gene's decidedly petty-bourgeois ( he is definitely the " Consumer -in-Chief " of Rhode Island ) brain just cannot process " VOLUME " of more than a few sentences , especially if they rub him the wrong way in " OUR democracy " and " FREE SPEECH " tradition. He is better at slobbering over his program sponsors .
In truth ,TALK RADIO locally and nationally daily censors real American public opinion . Which is more and more anti-war and anti-Zionism. What we really get from Talk Radio is the cramped soul voice of the American petty-bourgeoisie . Like both Joe Biden and Donald Trump it is consistently out of touch with REAL working class people in " OUR democracy ".
The short video is a little awkward but the viewer can can get the point.
TALK RADIO is now effete , a mockery of " OUR democracy " and if the annoying " Cancel Culture " cancels it , it will be no great loss for public enlightenment .

This is not like England attacked by Germany in World War II . With the exception of fans of the warmonger, embezzler V.

The mainstream news media in " OUR democracy ," invariably under the guidance of belligerent ZIONIST Jews , imagine that THEY can stir up war fever against POST-COMMUNIST Russia among the mostly CHRISTIAN working class ( very few among them CHRISTIAN Zionists ) . THEY think that daily censoring of American public opinion - mostly anti-war and anti-Zionist - can create a false public opinion favorable to the insanity of nuclear World War III . Well , the BIG LIE did work to get us into a costly war with Iraq - and devastating to the Iraqi people - back in 2003 . But WE THE PEOPLE are not stupid forever ! It does seem that Election 2024 was also a referendum on the credibility of the mainstream news media . I guess WE THE PEOPLE really do not trust Lester Holt . Or NBC , or ABC , or CBS , or NPR !

The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party- routed in Election 2024- and their mainstream news media ( always ready to BIG LIE us into another war ) - will never succeed in arousing jackass war fever among the mostly CHRISTIAN working class for World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia. Still there is not one voice for world peace among the WOKE WARRIOR Democrats . Even their so called " Far Left " is mostly a fraud. They think it is OK for Zelensky to fire American made missiles into mainland Russia ?
Look outside the Democratic Party for the seeds of a serious anti-war movement similar to the one of the Vietnam War era. And remember " BAN THE BOMB " movement ?

It seems to this somewhat "science literate " democratic socialist that the scientific METHOD has certainly stood the test of time. But SCIENCE as a HUMAN institution is being corrupted more and more by its integration into the global capitalist system . Here in the United States its best BRAINS are put into the service of the military industrial complex . What else is the final purpose of these super colossal atom smashers ?
A science professional singing the praises of of Corporate America is a shabby spectacle of SELL OUT !
A lot of recent BIG BANG and astrophysics science " news " seems determined to dazzle or to stupefy ordinary people into thinking that WE have a future in space , that the details of the fireworks of the Big Bang or the " menace " of black holes or some sinister super nova billions of light years away actually matter to HUMAN EXISTENCE on the planet Earth ( The science " news " might generate $$$ for bigger and better outer space telescopes , bigger and better colossal particle accelerators ) .
As if any of this esoteric data can even hint at the MEANING OF LIFE or OUR future here on Earth .
Spare us the imminent " science " news of the " Son of God Particle ". Mr. Higgs can be canonized later at some holy private ceremony at CERN.
One rather obnoxious VOICE OF SCIENCE on social media, and on overpriced lecture tours, is astrophysicist Neil De Grasse Tyson who evangelizes for the New Atheism while promoting the agenda of " Deep State " and the odious military industrial complex. Did HE endorse WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Kamala Harris -after ridiculing Donald Trump on CNN ? " Deep State " seems entrenched in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party.
There are no more Michael Faradays left to express the real spirit of Science. As for what is left , when they come on get your credit card ready ! Or better still just TURN OFF! How many semi-prodigy kids still want to be theoretical physicists ? Kindly discourage them !
Billions of dollars of public money spent on this charlatan physics monstrosity ? We THE PEOPLE await breathlessly for the COMING SOON , dramatic announcement of the " Son of God Particle " ! Then you can store at least a relic of it at the altar of newly reconstructed Notre Dame Cathedral .
100 years from now this colossal monument of JUNK Science will be open to the public as New Age equivalent of the Roman Colosseum .
More and more some rather excellent voices of SCIENCE , like the gentleman above, do remind me of unctuous TV evangelists. VOTE YES for funding and PRAY FOR A MIRACLE of serious science ! A MIND is an awful thing to waste !
Do the high priests of the Big Bang ( laughing ghost of astrophysicist Fred Hoyle ) expect to become the exalted ( and well paid ) ruling class of a near future Pluto's Republic ?

WAR is a function of society's ruling class. So you can dismiss all the stale Wilsonian blather ( that was false more than a century ago ) American imperialism, Israeli Zionism propaganda for the next -certainly the last-world war .

I like what I just read on the World Socialist Website :
["The authorization by the Biden administration for Ukraine to use US long-range weapons to strike deep inside Russian territory marks a new and dangerous escalation in the US-NATO war against Russia. The move, followed just two days later by Ukrainian attacks using the weapons, underscores the unrelenting drive by US and NATO powers to intensify the conflict, regardless of the catastrophic consequences. "]
There is ZERO support for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia or Islamic Iran among the working class CHRISTIANS of the civilized world.

Perhaps the Russian people and the Ukrainian people and the American people might benefit tremendously if there were a second Bolshevik 1917 Revolution soon ( " Ten Days That Shook The World " by American journalist John Reed ) that restores TRUE COMMUNISM to workers of the world ? Or would you rather see American imperialism and Old World colonialism redesign Russia in this century ?
[ "Yet for all their value, letters to the editor may be endangered. A recent edition of Cascadia Daily News, the year-old Bellingham paper, took aim at the move to abolish LTEs. Writing in his weekly column, Cascadia editor Ron Judd, noted that a rival paper (the hedge-fund-owned Bellingham Herald) was jettisoning letters to the editor as 'a thing of the past' and as 'too difficult to verify and generally rife with misinformation.' ]
The REAL reason letters to the editor may be a " a thing of the past " is the ruling class fear of REAL American public opinion which is rarely GOOD NEWS for the warmongering , exploiting, oppressing American plutocracy.
Most mainstream newspapers to which I send my now " annoying " ( ? ) letters-to-the editor do not even acknowledge them ( with the exception of the Los Angeles Times ) .

This article makes excellent points. One further.
Letters to the editor become searchable historical documents, essentially community touchstones in history's rough draft, unlike the transient ephemera of comments lost in a digital ocean of vitriol. Publications can elevate discourse by driving opinion back to letters which require more than a drive-by snipe for successful publication.

I stopped reading online CrossCut when it dropped comments, (which are digital letters-to-the-editor.) I'm sometimes (especially if I know the subject area wall) as interested in readers' comments as in the author's.
I find it sad that I'll see an otherwise excellent article in PostAlley with NO — ZERO!!! — comments.
I urge Post Alley to improve its comment system.

I agree with Tom Hyde about the historical importance of letters, but I would extend that to comments online. The comments on The Stranger are a revelation in terms of watching the shift of public opinion over the last three years. In 2019 90% of letters would be in full agreement with the Stranger. Now there is full revolt and the percentages are flipped. The NYT comments are where I learn what an article is missing and it's context, with commenters who are often erudite and authoritative, as well as hilarious. The comment community often feels more engaged and intellectually challenging than my daily conversations. If the NYT ended comments I dare say it would lose tens of thousands of subscribers.
I too have stopped reading Crosscut since it moved comments to Facebook. There is virtually no activity on their Facebook, possibly because Facebook does not allow the commenter anonymity and conversations (cough, arguments) have been so brutal.
I believe elections can be swung by aggregate comments over a length of time. It is there that language is tested and changed and shapes the framing of issues. Witness more people referring to "up-zoning" for "equity" as "deregulation of the housing market," a sea change in perception. ]
WAR is a function of society's ruling class. Working class people in the Ukraine and working class people in " OUR democracy " USA were never longing for Ukrainian membership in moribund turned belligerent NATO . After flunking a credibility referendum that was Election 2024, the mainstream news media here -with amazing chutzpah - imagines that it can arouse war fever in the mostly CHRISTIAN working class for the dubious cause ( like " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? ) of the warmonger, embezzler V. Zelensky . And at the same time arouse war fever for the dubious cause ( like genocide in Gaza, Palestine ) of the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel .
No surprise that the military forces of American imperialism have presently a very challenging recruiting problem. As the wise THOUGHT CRIME of the Tumultuous Sixties put it : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? "
What if WE THE PEOPLE really controlled the purse of the bought and sold US Congress ?
November 19, 2024 : Election 2024 was an embarrassing referendum on the credibility of the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy ". Yet, with amazing CHUTZPAH they continue to censor American public opinion. I forward ALL my censored , scratched over , REMOVED posts on YouTube to my blog and my Facebook page. Too often has " Radical Ron " ( a long time independent democratic socialist ) " violated community rules against hate speech ". Ironically the criteria for " hate speech " are determined by secular ZIONIST Jews who support APARTHEID Israel 's daily crimes against humanity , including outright genocide in Gaza, Palestine to the shock and horror of the civilized world.
Sad to say , but the leaders of that " Axis of Evil ," led by POST-COMMUNIST Russia , do not live up to high moral standards of the New York Times editorial board.
I doubt very much if MAGA REPUBLICAN Donald Trump and now team mate RFK Jr. have any intention of liberating in " OUR democracy " the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization . Above all ,they do not want their own ( vintage ruling class ) views censored .
Way back in 1965 Black Muslim leader Malcolm X in his Harlem speeches made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and American imperialism ( Vietnam ). My favorite Malcolm X quote as a longtime independent democratic socialist : " Show me a capitalist and I'll show you a bloodsucker ". Malcolm X warned his people about " friends " in the " liberal " Democratic Party , especially patronizing Jewish friends :
[ To be sure , Black Muslim Malcolm X spoke harshly about Black-Jewish relations in the United States . Read " Malcolm's ambivalence toward, 196-197 , " Malcolm The Life of a Man Who Changed Black America " by Bruce Perry, 1991 : " He [ Malcolm ] suggested that Jews were the chief exploiters of America's blacks.... " He was unimpressed with the fact that many Jews were members of the NAACP ; he said it was comparable to Jesse James joining the trustees of a bank he intended to rob. The main reason Jews were in the forefront of the civil rights movement , he said, was that the more attention they focused upon ' the Negro question " the more hostility they could deflect from themselves .... On the other hand , there was justification for his criticism of Jews who fled to suburbia solely because blacks moved into their neighborhoods . "
' When there's something worth owning, the Jew's got it ', he asserted. At times he was defensive about accusations that he was anti-Jewish. ' I know I'll hear ANTI-SEMITIC from every direction, he lamented after one Jewish diatribe. ' Oh, yes. But truth is truth " .
" The rich Jew symbolized the avarice that the youthful criminal Malcolm had forsworn when he had become a Muslim ascetic " .[ AUTHOR Bruce Perry ... Publishers Weekly ... " Exhaustively researched, this compelling biography is the most intimate portrait of Malcolm X to date . "]
One big reason for the MAGA-REPUBLICAN rout of the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris was the American people being turned off by its seeming lust for war : its whole hearted support for Zionist APARTHEID Israel with its war criminal leader Benjamin Netanyahu ; whole hearted support for " sovereign " Ukraine led by the warmonger, embezzler V. Zelensky. Daily WARNINGS to " AXIS OF EVIL " countries whose leaders do not live up to the high moral standards of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris or even MAGA-Republican Donald Trump . Whose leaders do not live up to high moral standards of the CIA, FBI, " Deep State ", and Pentagon War Crimes Dept.
And even now NO VOICE for world peace in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ? No calls for the immediate resignation of corrupt , senile, creepy , U.S president Joe Biden ? Did the American voters say YES in the 2024 election to nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ?
To be sure , the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party and the Biden administration are packed with belligerent ( now bitter about the 2024 Election rout ) secular ZIONIST Jews. For years now THEY have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism. Alas, THEIR mainstream news media could not " sell " World War III to WE THE PEOPLE with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century when American imperialism was fighting in that " Great War " to make the world safe for democracy.
For four long years of the Biden-Harris administration WE THE PEOPLE have had a good whiff of " OUR democracy ". We need not export it " Over There ! "
Hard to believe for a moment that ordinary working class Ukrainians wanted this FOREVER ( ? ) WAR with Russia. Were THEY languishing with a longing to join effete and moribund NATO ? How long can MILLIONS of Ukrainian refugees settle happily- ever- after in oh-so-welcoming Poland ?
How many working class Americans have emotional ties to the Ukrainian bourgeoisie with their bloody turn to the West ? To be sure , it is not quite like England at the beginning of World War II . Perhaps belligerent American ZIONIST Jews see Ukraine under NATO as more " Greater Israel " than pleasingly " sovereign " ? The vast majority of Americans have no emotional ties to famously corrupt Ukraine . So forget about nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia now. Hardly anybody will show up !
I like what I just read on the World Socialist Website :
[ " The Biden administration has long been preparing to announce plans to carry out long-range strikes deep inside Russia, with the Guardian reporting in September that “the decision had already been made to allow Ukraine to use [UK] Storm Shadow cruise missiles on targets inside Russia.”
At the time, a decision was made to wait to make the announcement until after the election. The White House believed that a vote for Vice President Kamala Harris would create a mandate for the massive escalation of the war against Russia. The election resulted, however, in a victory for former President Donald Trump, who demagogically postured as an opponent of escalation in Ukraine. " ]
To be sure , working class CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " oppose nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia - all for the " sovereign " Ukraine of warmonger, embezzler -not quite NATO's Winston Churchill - V. Zelensky . Stale Wilsonian blather, that was false more than a century ago, is not as effective propaganda as it once was ( like during the Vietnam War ? )
Working class CHRISTIANS around the world also do not embrace the war criminal leader of Zionist APARTHEID Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu. They are appalled by Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine.
So " Deep State " USA , start the war without us ! Or better still , wisdom from a " Tumultuous Sixties " THOUGHT CRIME : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? "

The Joe Biden Kamala Harris Democratic Party and the Joe Biden administration are packed with bitter belligerent ZIONIST Jews who just lost positions of high power and influence. For years THEY have promoted the HATE RUSSIA, New McCarthyism . And they imagined that THEIR mainstream news media could ( with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ) arouse war fever in 100 MILLION working class CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " . What can be more exciting for the most exploited and oppressed Americans made especially wretched in the Biden-Harris four years - than nuclear World War III with POST COMMUNIST Russia ? And with dear allies of " OUR democracy " like the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel and the warmonger , embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine ?
