What ideas and opinions are BANNED on local talk radio and beneath contempt in the Providence Journal ?

None of the Democratic Party bureaucrats assigned to the housing crisis or the homeless crisis or the migrant crisis ever connect these problems with THE SYSTEM., with decaying capitalism and moribund American imperialism. For democratic socialists it is obvious that many social diseases are incurable as long as landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights are legally sacrosanct . This opinion is, of course, BANNED on local talk radio . And beneath contempt in the Providence Journal. So much for " FREE SPEECH " in " OUR democracy ".

Why Macron is alone for not ruling out Western troops going to Ukraine ..

All the bourgeois governments of Europe - still dripping with the blood of past colonialism- pretend to be saving " OUR democracy " from wicked Vladimir Putin and his " EVIL EMPIRE ", his POST-COMMUNIST Russia. That stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago- will not " sell " to the working class people of the world. Neither the warmonger ZIONIST Jew embezzler V. Zelensky in Ukraine nor the war criminal ZIONIST Jew leader of APARTHEID Israel , Benjamin Netanyahu, endears himself to the masses. Who can corrupt , senile , " Sleepy Joe " Biden count on to vote for him in 2024 ?

While the whole world is protesting genocide in Gaza Palestine the American news media showing great chutzpah focuses on mostly impotent imagined anti- Semitism.

Ultimately the homeless migrant crisis will collide with landlord -capitalist Private Property rights.

Senile , corrupt Joe Biden has secured only the ZIONIST Jew vote nation wide.

Spitting, Hitting Attacks on Christians are Surging in Israel: 'Extreme ...

The WOKE WARRIOR attacks on the CHRISTIAN TRADITION in " OUR democracy " have their power base in an unholy alliance of arrogant " New Atheists " and secular ZIONIST Jews entrenched in Ivy League academia. They have an almost visceral hatred for traditional Catholicism . How did they succeed in making the Gospel of Love , the profound thinking of the doctors of the Church , Saint Augustine , Saint Thomas Aquinas into " deplorable " hate speech ?

Will The Immigration Crisis Bankrupt U.S. Cities?

The homeless people crisis in " OUR democracy " is clearly on collision course with landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights. The homeless migrant crisis probably can only be solved by a CONTINENTAL government of North , Central , and South America. Is the revered NATION STATE everywhere turning into a prison/concentration camp ?

Democratic socialists have a rational explanation for the " Black Crime Wave " in " OUR democracy ". History teaches that when OPPRESSION gets ugly so do many of the OPPRESSED . From Southern plantation slavery to capitalist wage slavery and chronic poverty - not a joy ride ! The same for White working class Americans in " OUR democracy ". Of course, senile , corrupt , creepy Joe Biden at least offers HOPE . That big REPARATIONS check is in the mail !

See what Zelensky had to say about Sen. J.D. Vance

Working class CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " are not adoring fans of the ZIONIST Jew warmonger embezzler , V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine. Nor are working class CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " adoring fans - on fire with toxic war fever - of the ZIONIST Jew war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu , leader of APARTHEID Israel. Corrupt , senile , creepy " Sleepy Joe " Biden and his WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party , and his administration packed with zealous ZIONIST Jews , are completely out of touch with ANTI-WAR public opinion in the United States. Try starting nuclear World War III with American public opinion in fierce OPPOSITION !

With brother Steve at Uxbridge memorial.

No " reparations " for black slavery ! What Martin Luther King wanted THE FAILURE TO DELIVER REPARATIONS All serious talk of " reparations " for black slavery is illiberal liberal drivel. Should money be extracted from the descendants of UNION families whose sons fought -many killed- in the Civil War ? There are two " ENGLEY " names inscribed on front of the Uxbridge , Mass. City Hall , veterans of the American Revolution and the Civil War to save the Union and end slavery . My grandfather, William Engley , as a retired Providence, R.I. police officer ( 1930 ), showed us old newspaper clippings about these family members. WE owe the black race now living in the United States NOTHING but what Martin Luther King asked for them : to be judged by the content of their character not the color of their skin. Imagine some affluent black individual - like Oprah - being presented with a big happy face check because some distant relative of her family was a slave in the Old South ! Grandfather Engley is buried in that town of Uxbridge not far from that City Hall war memorial plaque .

The Engley family was on the right side of history!

Ordinary working class people in ALL countries have no problem distinguishing the OPPRESSOR from the OPPRESSED .

Judge applied a 'near death penalty' to Trump: Byron York

In the near future a democratic socialist Supreme Court will order ALL the wealth of the American plutocracy to be collectivized. And above the SOCIALIST Supreme Court a Higher Power will have a divine claim on all the resources of the Good Earth. You learned this when you were just a kid but soon forgot : " God owns the world ! " WE THE PEOPLE can only share it !

Ironically, the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party for years now has shown its disdain for generic Christianity , Catholicism in particular, and everything GOOD associated with faith in a good God. If you take your FAITH seriously , the Attorney General of the United States is watching you ! The MONEY GOD of American capitalism will not tolerate any strange gods before it ! I am sure that many decent cops have a keen sense of EVIL . In the era of the Great Depression my mother's father ( William Engley ) had the South Providence beat. On one Sunday dinner he expressed a political opinion : " You will never get a dry bone from those Republicans ".

Newsmakers 2/23/2024: US Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse

WOKE WARRIOR " progressive " Democrats like United States Senator Sheldon Whitehouse have promoted the HATE RUSSIA , New McCarthyism for years now.

But doddering old Joe imagines that he personally can keep turning up the misery control dial on Vladimir Putin's POST-COMMUNIST Russia. Note that American imperialism has not won a significant war since 1945 ( and that after a horrendous crime against humanity : the atomic bombing of the Japanese cities , Hiroshima and Nagasaki ) . Has the American Democratic Party ever been more out of touch with working class and middle class USA ?

RIDOT to add lanes on Washington Bridge in hopes of cutting travel times

A updated RIPTA bus service will be found more attractive to many Rhode Island drivers now affected by the Washington Bridge traffic jam chaos and fury. Waiting for RIPTA bus 30 after 9:AM this morning on Cranston Street across from popular " Umberto's " I spotted my old friend in Cranston Public Housing limping along to the stop. Mario may soon be in need of knee surgery. While waiting for the bus to arrive , Mario told me of a possible RIPTA bus 30 cancellation on weekends . This would create much hardship for worried Mario. On hot summer days he has no other way to get to the Warwick Mall. By taking walking distance ( for me ) RIPTA 17 I have a round about way to get downtown Kennedy Plaza and then board RIPTA 21 to the Warwick Mall or the Cranston Public Library. On the RIPTA 30 bus Mario was scolded briefly by the bus driver for " waving " . The bus stop is hidden by a tree and bus drivers have missed it on occasion. This same driver seemed oblivious to me at MY bus stop near the Pontiac Ave. intersection . I wondered if RIPTA bus drivers are just angry on the job ( job related ? ) or RIPTA demands that they take a course in " Advanced Rudeness " before getting a permit to drive the bus. [ Do they ever, for example, wait for an elderly person to be seated before accelerating the bus ? ] I might ask Peter Alviti this question the next time he is on Gene Valicenti's 630 WPRO morning talk radio show. I prefer to text the show.

Nightly News Full Broadcast - Feb. 16

A democratic socialist government of the United States would quickly see to it that anyone still identifying as a persecuted " plutocrat " will not have MILLIONS or even BILLIONS of dollars to lose in any civil fraud trial ". And , of , course, no neurotic citizen will be awarded in our DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST courts MILLIONS of dollars in any " defamation " lawsuit. " FREE SPEECH " will be even more respected. The WEALTH of the country will be democratically ruled to be COLLECTIVE WEALTH . No more greedy landlords or industrialists. GOD ALMIGHTY will be restored as the official owner of THE LAND and all its resources. HIS Good earth will not be violated with toxic wastes and air pollution ( NOTE : GOD HIMSELF will rule on HIS gender identity .) [ Also, ALL lottery winnings will be cancelled ] [ And a final END to the Golden Age of False Advertising. Hence an end to current " Talk Radio " shows where the" celebs" slobber over program sponsors like " NAVAGE " and " PREVAGIN " ] " Looking Backward " the scholars of the future will see all this as the beginning of " The Sane Society ".

He will be allowed to retire in reasonable comfort- still honored by a small contingent of white working class " deplorables " .

      Consider what non-religious popular science writer Isaac Asimov had to say about modern Israel : [“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. "]

      If the public school system of the United States ( now decaying in all major cities ) has or ever had any specific purpose , it was to prepare a new generation for the hellish job market of capitalism. Only by way of accident do the better more curious ( and often from the more affluent families in the neighborhood ) acquire what has been called " Cultural Literacy " or just " higher culture " . Popular science writer Carl Sagan observed that all normal kids are naturally curious but the SYSTEM too often succeeds in killing " holy curiosity " by the 6th grade. BOREDOM is a soul destroyer . The situation in today's decaying public schools is probably hopeless as long as their general purpose is to fit kids into the capitalist system of exploitation , police brutality , and alienation from the STATE . The capitalist state is always mystified by bourgeois ideologists as a near object of worship complete with sacred documents like the " Constitution of the United States " , the hypocritically saluted " Declaration of Independence " ( the last thing THE SYSTEM wants is independent thinkers with critical thinking skills ) . Oddly enough , the WOKE WARRIOR educators in the public schools in " OUR democracy " are nearly obsessive in their desire to destroy the CHRISTIAN faith, to destroy faith in any God but the god of the Marketplace, the commercial gods of radio and TV. Ultimately they destroy even faith in REASON ! Lacking any moral compass, young neglected souls gravitate toward nihilism and hedonism with no respect even for RATIONAL, BENEVOLENT AUTHORITY . The circumscribed " I " replaces any sense of belonging to a community with shared values. The SOCIOPATH becomes the average type . If the SYSTEM cannot correct itself, the younger generation will be the stuff of a new high tech Dark Age. CIVILIZATION itself will not long survive.

They have no invested interests in the resources of other countries. THEIR oil is not perceived as " OUR oil ". Differences in culture must be settled within these countries.

Recklessly bombing countries to get at the loathed terrorists does not win hearts and minds to American imperialism or to the Zionist APARTHEID Israel agenda. Also , the condition of the working class in the United States and the condition of once stable middle class ruined by MEGA-INFLATION is such that they are highly unlikely to be moved to war fever - not by stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago. The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ,which pretends to fawn on organized labor and on historically oppressed minorities, has for years now promoted the HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism.

In the next war of American imperialism and Israeli Zionism young Americans will be asked to sacrifice every which way to make the world safe for THEIR " democracy " , that of the ruling classes of the United States, Old Europe, various bourgeois governments of the NATO alliance , and , of course, belligerent Zionists in Israel ( presently devoted to genocide in Gaza, Palestine with the blessing of American imperialism .

      Donald Trump: From fraud judgment to hawking sneakers

      There is a profound crisis of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM in " OUR democracy ". In what way are WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Joe Biden and right wing populist Republican Donald Trump on a higher moral level than the leaders of this " Evil Empire " alliance ? Is our PRO-CAPITALIST , PRO-AMERICAN IMPERIALIST, PRO-APARTHEID ISRAEL political establishment on a higher moral level than all regimes in the " UNFREE " world ? As a longtime independent democratic socialist I am embarrassed for our flag waving, very ESTABLISHMENT oriented politicians whose every fatuous refrain contains the vacuous phrase " OUR democracy ". So fired up by the glorious ideals of " OUR democracy " American youth of military age are rushing to military recruiting stations all over the country to defend the WAY OF LIFE of Joe Biden & Son , of Donald Trump & Son and all our other illustrious plutocrats . For years now working class America has had a pungent whiff of " OUR democracy " ! We are not turned on by stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago. Once again make the world safe for WHOSE " democracy " ?

" ] I went to Saint Michael's Catholic School in South Providence in the early 60s. And I remember our 7th grade class at the ceremony consecrating that still standing statue to Saint Michael. Father Ruggieri ( no relation ) now Bishop Ruggieri was not WOKE enough for many members of the " progressive " community . As I myself favor traditional pre-Vatican II Catholicism ,, I do think that a WOKE Catholic Church is a JOKE Catholic Church.

Could this possibly happen to any WORKING CLASS American woman ? Of course the ruling will make other billionaire-millionaire capitalists nervous. In no way is the Joe Biden administration a friend of ordinary working class people in the United States. Today it pretends to be the very bulwark of " OUR democracy ". That refrain ," OUR democracy ," coming from the mouth of ANY Democrat or Republican politician , will sicken any politically literate citizen . There is a profound crisis of the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM in the United States. On the brink of meltdown before the Fall of 2024.

For all its flaws did not Russian communist " propaganda " for seven long decades honestly describe the social evils of capitalism , the misery of the Western working class during the Great Depression ? If PRIVATE PROPERTY was forbidden under the Soviet Union how did the New Rich in Russia emerge so quickly ? No collusion with American imperialism, with global capitalism " think tanks " , with the CIA ? Way back in 1927 Leon Trotsky was explaining how the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution was betrayed by a " New Aristocracy " who got wealthy by controlling the STATE . He was assassinated by tyrant Stalin in 1940 while in exile in Mexico. Did Alexei Navalny have a fatuous vision of HIS post-communist Russian government as being more like our messed up TWO PARTY SYSTEM both controlled by the AMERICAN plutocracy ? How much nicer for Russia to be led by the likes of our Joe Biden and Donald Trump , by the like of Bill and Hillary Clinton ? By guys like OUR millionaires and billionaires ? The sad truth is that the young generation in Russia that came to prominence AFTER the collapse of the old Soviet Union is politically ignorant. Today they probably get more inspiration from the right wing crank Ayn Rand than from Adam Smith or the New York Times editorial board.[ NOTE Ayn Rand was both a militant atheist and a ferocious ZIONIST ) . In what way was still young Alexei Navalny a real hero ? I need to know more about him.
      It does seem that so many corrupt petty bourgeois Black lawyers and judges show how wrong headed affirmative action agenda is.Racism in reverse!

It was hard to listen to her dad say she was "moping", her mothers letter, and her sister basically downplaying what she did. They all owed her a big apology for their treatment of her. 530 Reply 6 replies @emmiberg4207 5 months ago (edited) Ick. Her sister, Crystal, is an absolutely disgusting human being for doing that to her own blood. There are men EVERYWHERE & she chooses her sisters fiancé… ?? Just disgusting. I’m so glad I know my sisters would never do something like that to me. Reply 18 replies @3oycey123 5 months ago I think her family need to take some responsibility tbh.

      NOTE THE COMMENT : @hanzhabibi9778 @hanzhabibi9778 1 year ago [ "This song is so true and reminds me of when my brother was sent to Vietnam to fight in the jungles and swamps. He enlisted in the Army at 16 years old and looked like a little kid in the photo holding his rifle. He was a sharpshooter and managed to survive physically for 3 years in Nam. He said that the officers in charge did not really know where the enemy was or where other American soldiers were. Sometimes the big guns blew up their own men who were out in the jungle. Little kids would run out to the GI’s in the streets with grenades strapped on them by the enemy and blow up the American soldiers. My brother died young from infectious hepatitis he obtained from the swamps after pulling off leaches from his skin. He left behind his son and three step children that adored him as their father. I miss him very much. RIP✝️ " ]

      A lesson in philosophy : just missing the bus.

      For some reason my short YouTube video got 1.5 thousand views . Did it appeal to our philosophers ? “In a universe suddenly divested of illusion and lights, man feels an alien, a stranger. His exile is without remedy since he is deprived of the memory of a lost home or the hope of a promised land.” — Albert Camus A common frustration - just missing the bus - should convince the young philosopher that the universe is cruelly INDIFFERENT to his plans and goals. Of course , ASTROLOGY dimwits will continue to believe that the COSMOS has a daily plan for their lives.

      Why The U.S. Can’t End Poverty

      Democratic socialists have , for more than a century, rationally connected poverty in the United States with the greedy , irrational capitalist system. The TWO PARTY system not, just MAGA Republicans, supports Corporate America in all its mischief. It supports all goals of American imperialism and Israeli Zionism - together-forever. On the SCIENTIFIC principle of conservation of energy - or YOU CAN'T GET SOMETHING FOR NOTHING - how do you justify the appalling distribution of wealth in the United States ? The ruling class just works harder and is also smarter than all the working class and middle class collectively ? Way back in 1848 Karl Marx correctly analyzed the nature of capitalist exploitation and oppression. And his historical materialism sees the CLASS STRUGGLE as the driving force of history- a view which all bourgeois philistine sophists in Academia will unctuously deny.

      Hundreds of cars towed during Providence parking ban

      Providence Mayor Smiley seems to have an elitist contempt for the problems of ordinary working class people in Rhode Island . But when news media here slobber over you daily , this can dull any ambitious politician's innate empathy. We do need a better funded and more efficient RIPTA . It would be much saner to take a bus to work. For working class people SNOBBERY has no payoff! The AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE love for MOLOCH AUTOMOBILE is fatuous. An interesting book on the shelves of the Cranston Public Library has this provocative title : " Divorce Your Car ".

      Democrats seize George Santos' former seat in pivotal house flip

      Apart from GOOF 1 ( Biden ) and GOOF II ( Trump ) there is a profound crisis of the capitalist TWO PARTY SYSTEM in " OUR democracy "which the mainstream news media hopes that you do not think about in Election Year 2024 . As a longtime independent democratic socialist I would give at least critical support to INDEPENDENT Robert F. Kennedy Jr. now black- listed by all pro-ESTABLISHMENT media. Whenever I hear some Democrat or Republican refrain " OUR democracy " I smell a political charlatan .

      Egypt Warns Against Israeli Ground Offensive in Rafah

      The dispossessed ,oppressed Palestinians should have had much more moral and economic support from Egypt - and surrounding Arab countries - long ago. Today North Korea finds itself in a position to " warn " American imperialism and Israeli Zionism on genocide in Gaza , Palestine. What do North Korea and Israel have in common that the Palestinians don't have ? Among working class Americans there is virtually no support for Zionist APARTHEID Israel . Which class supplies the cannon fodder for stupid and endless wars of the American plutocracy ? Picture corrupt , senile ,creepy , Conqueror of Afghanistan, Joe Biden as our next GREAT WAR TIME LEADER ? What a joke !

      I wrote this published letter to the editor way back in 2014

      February Reader's Digest article : INSANITY of closing mental hospitals Just weeks after the Providence Journal published my letter observing the neglected mentally ill in Providence's Kennedy Plaza ( " Misery of the mentally ill all around us ", Dec.!5 ) I was pleased to read this article, " Schizophrenic Killer- My Cousin " by Mac McClelland in February's Reader's Digest. The article makes the same points on the moral catastrophe of deinstitutionalization with a personal story of a horrific murder that could have been prevented: " It's insanity to kill your father with a kitchen knife. It's also insanity to close hospitals, fire therapists, and leave families to face mental illness on their own ". The writer goes on to detail the " vanishing mental health safety net " in this wealthy country. " Today there is one public psychiatric-care bed per 7,100 Americans- the same ratio as in 1850 ". My own beloved but severely mentall ill brother was also a victim of this not so benign neglect . I found his bloated, blackened, unrecognizable corpse in his Warwick apartment one very hot day last June. My sister and I were bringing him his lithium refill. His medical doctor had delayed it because Ray had failed to keep an appointment ( not cooperating ? ) . Ray was a radio technician for the Warwick Police Department for some 20 years. A funeral contingent showed up at the Pawtucket Cemetery to fire off shots in his honor. " Finally, a little dignity for Ray ", I thought. At the wake his two daughters and old friends agreed sadly that our mental health system stinks. Not for nothing Ray talked to God at night in the tone of old Job of the Old Testament. He was a devout Catholic to the end. We hope change is in the air.

      Drunks board a RIPTA bus and make a scene

      A bunch of old drunks boarded RIPTA BUS 21 circa 4:40 PM Sunday, Jan. 11. I guessed that they would all be dropped off at the notorious Cranston homeless shelter Harrington Hall .I was right.I got off the bus at the Warwick Mall. Where these guy were dropped off at the sprawling Pastore Center there used to be adequate MENTAL INSTITUTIONS for hopelessly lost souls. Today our mental health system has nothing but " cracks ". The de-institutionalization of the mentally ill in the United States many decades go was nothing less than a crime against humanity. NOTE : Alcoholism is a mental illness .

      RIPTA will drastically cut service

      Getting off RIPTA bus 21 this afternoon I was handed this leaflet put out by citizens of Rhode Island concerned that " Gov. McKee and state leaders are ATTACKING RIPTA ". " Mc Kee's proposed budget gives RIPTA devastatingly low funding, which would force RIPTA to cut service on 29 of its 68 bus routes ,with 11 bus routes set be completely cancelled. SAY no at the service cuts hearings ". As a longtime RIPTA rider myself I think that there is no excuse for this smallest of states not to have a very efficient public transportation system. Such a system -which would include trains and boats - would have eased the infuriating traffic jams caused by the Washington Bridge shut down. We are told that this horror show could last two years ! The idea that most Rhode Islanders are hopelessly attached to THE CAR is ridiculous. There is on local TALK RADIO ( 630WPRO) a pronounced petty-bourgeois CLASS contempt for RIPTA bus riders. It would make sense to take the bus at least to work , for example, if the present RIPTA transportation system allowed it. You should be able to get anywhere in Rhode Island within an hour-by bus. I chuckle whenever I glimpse a book at the Cranston Public Library titled : " Divorce Your Car ". I gave up THE CAR more than 25 years ago .

      Shooting at Joel Osteen church: Female shooter killed

Listening to these " Jesus wants you to be rich " TV evangelists is real downer for anybody with a spark of FAITH left.

      [" Those who ignore history... "] As Karl Marx said a long time ago: " HISTORY is a history of CLASS WAR " . It inspired the Russian Revolution of 1917 .

      City of the Future: Singapore – Full Episode | National Geographic

      Well listen to this tourist there : Last PostThis thread is marked as being about Singapore 1. Posted by hannah1987 (Budding Member 15 posts) 17y [Just arrived back from a week long trip to Singapore and what can i say from the moment i got there i wanted to leave. The first thing, when we arrived at the airport we were accosted by an all-together un-friendly taxi driver who ripped us off with the price by about $20, he didnt smile, and the only conversation he made was to interrogate me about my finances. We were tired and so didnt argue, got to our hotel ok. We'd heard one of the best things about singapore was the food, however, we were so sick of the food by the second day that we had to resort to starbucks and subway for the bulk of our diet. We found the city heavily polluted, way to crowded, un-charistmatic, bland, and basically a complete waste of time. We concluded that in Singapore there is nothing worth seeing, the temples were un-memorable and crammed inbetween the busy streets, not worth a visit! We can usually amuse ourselves in a place when theres nothing to do, but after a day we were ready to leave and i believe this is mainly due to the people in Singapore! Everywhere we went in this country we were stared at, made to feel hugely unwelcome and felt like we were a hinderance in the smooth running of their country. On the trains we were stared at and pushed around, when we had huge suitcases the people wouldnt move their legs to let us past or let us in the lift. Whilst taking a trip to the cinema to try and escape Singapore the security guard allowed others to move infront of us in a queue to buy the last tickets for James Bond!! Also when i was in Singapore i lost/had stolen my purse, on trying to find it people were less than helpful, even the policeman at the station didnt believe it had been stolen and just told me to be more careful! We found the people in Singapore to be miserable, smelly, un-helpful, and rude. The only people we felt cracked a smile whilst we were there were the people who were trying to make money off us and trying to rip us off. The only place worth visiting in Singapore is the zoo!!! its Great!! After our traumatic experience of Singapore we felt it necessary to leave this comment and warn others that Singapore is not a nice place to spend a holiday, if your stopping over go to Thailand, Hong kong, LA, not singapore, or if you have to, make the stay as short as possible!! We seriously feel they should relax the drug laws then the people might lighten up a bit. We're currently in Thailand, and loving it, the people are SO SO SO friendly, we felt a relief as soon as we got to Bangkok airport where even the cleaners were helping us with our bags. I hope this helps someone, and deters people from going here because it seems that Singapore doesnt welcome tourists.] Has Singapore improved since 1987 ?

Sorry , but lawyer Atticus Finch of " To Kill the Mockingbird" fame got it all wrong with noble intentions : [“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.

Is Israeli genocide in Gaza , Palestine any rational way to assure " Never Again " ? Ordinary working class people do not plan wars or start wars. But HISTORY teaches that they do end them.

      Secy. Blinken says toll of Israel's military action is 'too high' in Gaza

      From the World Socialist Web Site this morning : [ "The Israeli military continued its bombardment Wednesday of Rafah, the southernmost city in Gaza where 1 million displaced people are sheltering, as US and Israeli leaders publicly rejected any cessation of hostilities. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, during a visit to Israel, said a proposal by Hamas to release all Israeli hostages in exchange for the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza was “full of non-starters,” once again giving Israel a green light for its ongoing genocide." ] American Secretary of State Antony Blinken, a proud ZIONIST Jew , is following in the footsteps of his mentor, ZIONIST Jew war criminal, American Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The ordinary working class people of the world have no difficulty distinguishing the OPPRESSOR from the OPPRESSED.

      Ari Melber: It is unlikely SCOTUS will make new precedent in ballot elig...

      What passes for " OUR democracy " ? ALL government , educational, and cultural institutions are permeated with the interests of our ruling capitalist class. Karl Marx was quite right in thinking that THE LAW is never above POLITICS and the CLASS STRUGGLE. What is going on now in " OUR democracy " is an ideological BRAWL within the plutocracy - which sometimes gets physical as on January 6 , 2021. You can be sure that the American plutocracy has no intention of overthrowing itself. As a longtime independent democratic socialist I see a profound crisis of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM. The greater threat of FASCISM is not right wing populist Donald Trump and 75 million plus or minus working class " deplorables " . It is the Joe Biden WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party dominated by secular ZIONIST Jews. The Biden administration is packed with militant ZIONIST Jews with a very belligerent pro-APARTHEID Israel foreign policy. Also in the so called " culture wars " they are the very pillars of WOKE ideology in the mainstream news media and in the nation's public schools. The tyranny of WOKE " science " prevails in Ivy League schools. They can count on Hollywood to promote WOKE WARRIOR propaganda. The reason the mainstream news media is so obviously " protective " rather than excoriating of corrupt , senile, creepy Joe Biden is that THEY see him as their proverbial useful idiot . But can working class CHRISTIANS in the USA approve billions of tax payer dollars for the thug war criminal Netanyahu in Israel and for the war monger embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine ? Can they let their children die in more stupid and endless wars in the Middle East ? Together forever, American imperialism and Israeli Zionism. Is all this worth nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ? Despite real American public opinion the mainstream news media continues to think that stale Wilsonian blather false more than a century ago will suffice to stir up the necessary toxic war fever in " OUR democracy ". It daily censors ANTI-WAR public opinion in the United States . And while most of the world is focused on Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine , the mainstream news media promotes hysteria on some imagined increase in anti-Semitism in the United States. At Harvard University , for example ! Never will they admit that anti-Zionism is NOT anti-Semitism.

      US announces new wave of strikes against Houthi targets

      Just as in the darkest days of Vietnam War the American ruling class decides for " OUR democracy " just who " OUR enemy " is together forever with Zionist APARTHEID Israel. But the ordinary working class people of the world have no difficulty distinguishing the OPPRESSOR from the OPPRESSED . They do not plan or start wars. But HISTORY teaches that they can and do end them. Today the decadent and belligerent American plutocracy is comparable to the French aristocracy just before the Great French Revolution of 1789 . They will never again be able to instill war fever in the American people with stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago. Neither corrupt , senile , creepy Joe Biden nor the right wing " populist " blowhard Donald Trump can save moribund American capitalism while the sun is setting on American imperialism and Israeli Zionism. We have not entered another " American Century " .
