Providence comes together to pray for girl wounded in shooting

Pious prayers for a community in stress over senseless gun violence might be a therapeutic safety valve but what is necessary is real understanding of the problem. A democratic socialist society that controlled all major means of production ,which would include , of course, all FOR PROFIT , for the FREE MARKET , gun and ammunition manufacturers , could check most irrational gun violence practically overnight. It makes more senses to scream for " The Sane Society " than for more futile and fatuous gun control laws. Whole industries will be controlled for the GENERAL WELFARE in " The Sane Society " ( as once visioned by socialist humanist psychiatrist Erich Fromm ) . Don't expect any phony " socialist " in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party to think along these lines ( outside the box of capitalism, militarism, and Israeli Zionism ) .

Judge temporarily blocked landmark effort by Biden administration to off...

How do you explain the American capitalist ruling class showing a false benevolent face toward the wretched of the earth , this new wave of 21st century " illegal migration " and their usual contempt for working class citizens in " OUR democracy " ? To be sure , neither Biden-Harris Democrats nor Donald Trump Republicans reject the daily exploitation and oppression NORMAL for American capitalism. ( Nor do they reject American militarism and futures wars ) . The only explanation for seeming " benevolence " toward these " illegals " is the DIVIDE & CONQUER tactic against the American working class. More than a century ago socialist American writer Upton Sinclair in his novel " The Jungle ' not only exposed the rotten meat industry scandal but also the systemic abuse of even legal immigrants to " OUR democracy ". As Leon Trotsky said about the plutocrats here : " No devil ever cut off his own claws ! " So confused American workers can blame desperate migrants for their misery - not THE SYSTEM . And imagine right wing blowhard Donald Trump as their hero and savior !

‘Our Place Is Uninhabitable’: Pokrovsk Is Evacuated Amid Russian Advance...

[ " Consider these words from " an internationally renowned Israeli historian, Illan Pappe' ( from the World Socialist Website ) : This was at a time when very important documents were declassified in many parts of the world, including many in Israel thirty years after its founding. And what I saw there challenged everything I knew, or I thought I knew, about 1948 and beyond. And the fact that I shared this journey into the past with an Arab supervisor and then with a lot of Palestinian friends who otherwise I would not have met in Israel itself, began the most serious part of the journey. It’s not a moment of Epiphany, where you wake up and suddenly you are on the other side of the Rubicon. It takes time. But there is a moment where you feel that you know enough and you understand enough and you have heard enough to challenge fundamentally the narrative of your own society, of your own state. You understand the cowardice or conformist nature of your academic colleagues, of a community to which you once belonged. And it’s at one point that you understand you have a choice. " ]

Today millions of intelligent and humane people around the world would agree with what popular science and science fiction writer Isaac Asimov said about ZIONISM and 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. " ]

The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has no credibility among that segment of the population with critical thinking skills. Its claim to be defending " OUR democracy " against " fascist " Donald Trump and his following of misguided white working class CHRISTIANS is highly ludicrous. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. did make a good point in observing just how hostile the Biden-Harris administration has been toward the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. And how shamelessly PRO-WAR it has become. As a longtime independent democratic socialist I gave " critical support " to RFK Jr . in 2024 as I gave " critical support " to " socialist " Bernie Sanders in 2016. Recall that Bernie won the April 2016 presidential primary here in Rhode Island. Bernie ended up abjectly endorsing Hillary Clinton though he got no respect from her arrogant political circle. There is a profound crisis of the TWO PARTY SYSTEM in capitalist USA. Neither party , neither Democrat Kamala Harris nor Republican Donald Trump , will ever think outside the box of pro-capitalism, pro-militarism , pro- APARTHEID Israel Zionism. Despite having just weirdly endorsed Donald Trump, RFK Jr. is himself a " Profile in Courage daily smeared and blackballed by the main stream news media , and Bernie Sanders more a Don Quixote " socialist ' in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party. As I see it. WE THE PEOPLE need a very independent third party , an American Labor Party - a lot like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised. No serious issues will get resolved in " OUR democracy ' by Presidential Election 2024.

The State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin

Summing up his historical analysis, Engels says: [“The state is, therefore, by no means a power forced on society from without; just as little is it ’the reality of the ethical idea’, ’the image and reality of reason’, as Hegel maintains. Rather, it is a product of society at a certain stage of development; it is the admission that this society has become entangled in an insoluble contradiction with itself, that it has split into irreconcilable antagonisms which it is powerless to dispel. But in order that these antagonisms, these classes with conflicting economic interests, might not consume themselves and society in fruitless struggle, it became necessary to have a power, seemingly standing above society, that would alleviate the conflict and keep it within the bounds of ’order’; and this power, arisen out of society but placing itself above it, and alienating itself more and more from it, is the state.” (Pp.177-78, sixth edition)[1] This expresses with perfect clarity the basic idea of Marxism with regard to the historical role and the meaning of the state. The state is a product and a manifestation of the irreconcilability of class antagonisms. The state arises where, when and insofar as class antagonism objectively cannot be reconciled. And, conversely, the existence of the state proves that the class antagonisms are irreconcilable. It is on this most important and fundamental point that the distortion of Marxism, proceeding along two main lines, begins. ]

Given THE FACT of always bellicose Zionist APARTHEID Israel already ( with the approval of American imperialism ) possessing a nuclear arsenal , Islamic Iran would be justified ( by our own military might 's " crackpot realism " ) in quickly assembling its own nuclear arsenal. Don't the daily threatened Iranians see their own country as a future Gaza, Palestine ? Could the United States assemble enough ground combat troops to " clean up the mess " on " THE DAY AFTER " ? And also American imperialism must assemble enough ground combat troops to restore " order " on " THE DAY AFTER " ( assuming " victory " in nuclear World War III ! ) to China and Russia ( with little fear of the people's wrath and their perpetual merciless " terrorism " ? How many working class CHRISTIAN soldiers could be ordered to occupy radioactive cities and suppress surviving people in the interest of " OUR democracy " triumphant ?

Video Now: RFK Jr suspends his presidential campaign, endorses Trump

The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party -now packed with war mongers - has made a mockery of the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization for decades now. As RFK Jr. points out , the Democrats ceased to be the party of FDR and JFK years ago. But contrary to what the Republican campaign says, it is definitely NOT a party of firebrand Marxists or even serious liberals. In 2024 it represents a boiling over ideological feud within the American capitalist ruling class . There is a profound crisis of THEIR Two Party System. Even a phony Marxist party would not be as alienated from the American working class -and from humble CHRISTIANS - as the present Democratic Party of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden . I speak as an independent democratic socialist who gave only " critical support " to Bernie Sanders in 2016 and to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in 2024. What working class and lower middle class Americans really need in " OUR democracy " is not INDEPENDENT RFK Jr. ( though that would have helped ) but an INDEPENDENT of the ruling class American Labor Party - a lot like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised.

Of course, Vindman has an ally in the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " mostly controlled by WOKE WARRIOR DNC based, secular ZIONIST Jews. The party of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden has promoted the HATE RUSSIA , LOVE APARTHEID Israel New McCarthyism for years now. And they have blackballed and smeared both Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Donald Trump as anti-Semites with a mass following of WHITE CHRISTIAN " deplorables ". As if TRUTH was anti-Semitic ! I observe all this as a longtime independent democratic socialist. The daily censorship of real public opinion is a mockery of the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. Working class Americans are not cheering " DEEP STATE " unelected bureaucrats to start another stupid war of American imperialism together forever with Israeli Zionism in crimes against humanity. No surprise if the censors spare the readers of comments here my pernicious misinformation ( which I always forward to my blog and Facebook page ) .

The Diabolical Persecution Of The Jewish People Throughout History

In MODERN TIMES if the Jewish people would renounce CAPITALISM, and Israeli ZIONISM together forever with American imperialism in crimes against humanity, if they collectively will rediscover SOCIALISM and SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM and apply the historic principles to APARTHEID Israel , then they will see how perceived anti-Semitism quickly disappears from the world. In an earlier post I asked one ZIONIST Jew if SOCIALISM was inherently anti-Semitic and I could not get an answer. Genocide in GAZA, Palestine is not a " smart Jew " way to assure " NEVER AGAIN ! " . To complicate all this the pillars of WOKE ideology nonsense in the Democratic Party are invariably secular ZIONIST Jews . And WOKE ideology invariably infuriates working class CHRISTIANS and MUSLIMS in " OUR democracy ". Can there possibly be a secular ZIONIST Jew " science " that contradicts even Darwinian biology ?

How much money qualifies you as RICH in 2024 USA ?

#FoxBusiness My friend Dave N alerted me to this truth several years ago. When his mother died he inherited what was left of the family fortune. When Dave was feeling very insecure he approached a stock broker : " What can you do with $800, 000 ? " The guy laughed sarcastically : " Come back when you have 2 MILLION to invest ! " . Dave's fears of rapidly going broke were well founded . He was soon living in his Grand Prix car ! . He called me to contact his VERY RICH aunt on the East Side of Providence. Her husband West always hung up on Dave. But I soon found out that his Aunt Gracie Alpert ( connected to Brown University had left most of her money to Brown medical school ( for brain research ) . A family lawyer tried to contact Dave but he could not be found ( of course, then living in his car ! ) . I checked all this out at Providence City Hall " RECORDS " . Dave is now living in public housing in Mass. He blames himself for losing all his money : " I let women control me ", he moaned . To be sure , there is more to his story. Which reads likes a Hollywood " Sex, Lies, and Money " script. To add to the ABSURD story a few weeks ago Dave lost his wallet while visiting a urologist in Johnston , Rhode Island. I loaned him $120 dollars . He paid me back a day later after a Jewish charity helped him out. What net worth does one need to be rich in 2024?

He did not care about mouth and eyes and moving hands. He wanted to care, and he could not care. For he had gone away and he could never go back any more. The gates were closed, the sun was gone down, and there was no beauty but the gray beauty of steel that withstands all time. Even the grief he could have borne was left behind in the country of illusion, of youth, of the richness of life, where his winter dreams had flourished.

I am a long time independent democratic socialist but not suffering from " Trump derangement syndrome ". As a registered Democrat in Cranston , Rhode Island I signed papers just weeks ago for RFK Jr. to get on the ballot here in Rhode Island. Not being attached to ANY leftwing organization I have no problem having a " Democrat " political address in Rhode Island. I cannot applaud but I do understand INDEPENDENT Robert F. Kennedy Jr. if he should today announce his support for conservative Republican Donald Trump . The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party now, slobbering over daffy Kamala Harris, seems a greater threat to " OUR democracy " ( STALINISM without the socialism ) than Donald Trump and his many alienated working class CHRISTIAN supporters. For years now the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has promoted the HATE RUSSIA, LOVE APARTHEID Israel, New McCarthyism ( do not be fooled by pseudo-Left rhetoric : " My heart bleeds for the people of Gaza, Palestine ! " . Really now, WOKE WARRIOR Democrat ? ) . For me the TWO PARTY SYSTEM in " OUR democracy " is in a state of meltdown. I do not expect Donald Trump can " Make America Great Again ". The sun is setting on American imperialism and Israeli Zionism together forever in crimes against humanity. I think politically motivated violence in the post-election future can be avoided only if an INDEPENDENT third party can be quickly organized: an American Labor Party -like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised. HOPE springs eternal . American democratic socialist writer Irving Howe wrote a book titled " A Margin of Hope " . That's about it for " OUR democracy " !

And confiscate the property of negligent slum landlords. Also, outlaw gentrification of housing.

DNC: President Biden gives emotional farewell speech | BBC News

The TWO PARTY SYSTEM politicians of " OUR democracy, these case- hardened Democrats and Republicans, all belong heart and soul to the capitalist plutocracy. Even in their younger years they were incapable of thinking outside the box of capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism. If in their college years they were exposed academically to radical SOCIALIST ideas, the ideas of 19 and 20th century Marxist, Leninist, Trotskyists, Maoists , it was like the proverbial water off the duck's back. With their ignorant, unscientific , IRRATIONAL views of human society it is a wonder if they ever absorbed the spirit of scientific investigation. No surprise that in the White House , Ronald and Nancy Reagan consulted astrologers ! The hostility to SOCIALIST ideas , this stock- in- trade aversion to them has a simple explanation given by the arch-ideological foe of capitalism, Karl Marx: " The ruling ideas are the ideas of the ruling class ". Every honest newspaper editor in " OUR democracy " understands this. His or her salary depends on it !

BREAKING: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to leave presidential race, endorse Trump

As INDEPENDENT I gave " critical support " to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. I can see why some old fashioned liberals, as opposed to DNC based WOKE WARRIOR liberals , might consider Donald Trump a lesser evil compared to the degenerate Democratic Party of the last five decades. This party is dominated by secular , pseudo-liberal , ZIONIST Jews . The Biden administration is packed with very pro-Israel ZIONIST Jews. And they have considerable support in the mainstream news media. No surprise that both RFK Jr. and Donald Trump have been smeared as anti-Semites. Minus the SOCIALISM the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party with its contempt for the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization resembles the nightmare STALINISM of the old Soviet Union. It is nearly unanimous in its disdain for the CHRISTIAN tradition in " OUR democracy " . It has a particular hostility toward the Catholic Church calling PRO-LIFE Catholic activists potential domestic terrorists ( and getting the FBI to harass them ! ) In general, the pillars of unbalanced , irrational , UNSCIENTIFIC, WOKE ideology in the public schools and in elite universities are invariably DNC based secular ZIONIST Jews. And telling the truth about them will always get you accused of " threat to the community " hate speech. I would have preferred that RFK Jr. plant the seeds of a real INDEPENDENT American Labor Party as a long time independent democratic socialist myself. But I understand that an individual must follow his own inner voice. As long as he does not pretend that it is the Voice of God. I do think that the present Democratic Party -not Donald Trump -is the greater threat to " OUR democracy " for the present .

But cigarettes now cost more than 10 dollars a pack , I muttered. Their look : " Anything will help ". I think : How can any poor person addicted to cigarettes not be living in a cardboard box ?

DNC LIVE: Day 2 of Democratic National Convention 2024

The Causes of Anti Semitism Throughout History

More important is the cause of anti-Semitism in the past six decades : The war crimes of Zionist APARTHEID Israel in oppressing and dispossessing the Palestinian people. And right now Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine inventing the concept of " collateral genocide ". So not for any irrational and wicked reasons has ZIONIST Israel become the most hated country on the planet. Genocide in Gaza is not a " smart Jew " way to assure " NEVER AGAIN ! " . Is there something exceptionally hateful about TRUTH ?

The Democratic National Convention in Chicago - a repeat of 1968 police state violence ?

1 hour(s) agoPinned National Lawyers Guild condemns Chicago police for 'violent' response to DNC protesters National Lawyers Guild condemns Chicago police for 'violent' response to DNC protesters Pro-Palestinian protesters rallied outside the Democratic National Committee Monday, at one point breaching a fence guarding the perimeter. ["The Chicago chapter of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) is condemning what they call an aggressive and, at times, violent response by the Chicago Police Department (CPD) toward protesters at the start of the Democratic National Convention (DNC)," the progressive legal nonprofit said in a press release Tuesday. The press release came following a letter signed by more than 65 progressive legal groups and attorneys calling on Chicago police not to repeat "the violence and violations committed by the CPD during the Democratic National Convention of 1968." The 1968 convention faced violent protests outside the convention, during which police were forced to deploy tear gas and other riot control measures to keep the peace. On Monday, several protesters breached the first barrier fence surrounding the convention, leading to arrests by Chicago police. As of last night, a total of 14 protesters have been arrested, according to the lawyer guild's press release. “The response by Chicago police to First Amendment-protected activity we’ve seen so far is extremely intimidating for people wanting to speak out at this crucial time,” said Amanda Yarusso, a member of NLG Chicago’s Mass Defense Committee. However, following the breach of the convention perimeter Monday afternoon, Chicago police Superintendent Larry Snelling insisted his officers "responded as professionally as we trained them to."] Posted by Alec Schemmel Share 2 min(s) ago

Ukrainian troops move deeper into Russia

Only a person ignorant of history would think that NATO involvement in this war is all about stale Wilsonian blather respect for sacrosanct sovereign nation states. Consider the bloody history of British and French, Dutch and Belgium colonialism in Old Europe . Consider the bloody history of American imperialism in Latin America. The present American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken , is a disciple of the former American Secretary of State , the ZIONIST Jew war criminal Henry Kissinger. Apart from the Vietnam nightmare , Kissinger is remembered for involvement in keeping the South American country Chile " sovereign " in 1973. He was definitely involved in the assassination of the democratically elected president of Chile , Marxist Salvador Allende. American imperialism operates on a higher moral level than Vladimir Putin in Russia ? Today in 2024 " Greater Israel " USA , and " Greater Israel " Ukraine , and " Greater APARTHEID Israel in the Middle East are hell bent on starting nuclear World War III over Islamic Iran and POST-COMMUNIST Russia. And out of its ashes will arise the " crackpot realism " dream of a New World Order ? What WE THE PEOPLE , the common American working class, and mostly CHRISTIAN, people think does not matter.

Kamran Nayeri on " Ecological Socialism "

Ecological socialism [ The Cuban people lack some essentials of life in part due to the inhumane US blockade. They must have such necessities of life. However, the Cuban working people as well as billions of others worldwide must choose between (1) the illusory capitalist consumerist culture as “progress” even though it is unsustainable and impossible to replicate for 7 billion people on the planet or (2) a society based on values of love for humanity and nature with adequate material comforts that can provide the basis for cultural and human development. Ernesto Che Guevara chose the latter course although he was not aware of the environmental and ecological crisis that were unfolding even then. Today we know that crisis of society and crisis of nature are actually one crisis. It is a crisis of Our Way of Life–the anthropocentric capitalist culture enforced by the capitalist world economy. Progress will require overcoming this crisis by transcending not only capitalism but also anthropocentrism that is much older and more ingrained in human culture. This transition will require a cultural revolution as well as a social revolution to embrace ecocentrism as well as communalism. We can call this new society ecological socialism that will ensure a minimum level of comfort for every human to ensure complete fulfillment and human development. Humanity so reconstituted will live with a love for one another and love for Mother Nature and all its species. —– *Kamran Nayeri Political economist emeritus, Survey Research Center, University of California, Berkeley Editor: Our Place in the World: A Journal of Ecosocialism ]

Kamran Nayeri: The Crisis of Civilization and How to Resolve It

I just read this brilliant man's summary of his long experience with Trotskyist organizations and in particular the American Socialist Workers Party still led by cult leader Jack Barnes. Yes, the permanent crisis of capitalism has become a more general crisis of CIVILIZATION. Very interesting quote on Kamran Nayeri's long experience on the once Trotskyist oriented American Socialist Workers Party still led or misled by the now 84-year-old cult leader Jack Barnes. Always an INDEPENDENT democratic socialist I was tangential to the party for a few years. In 1976 serving as a presidential elector for Peter Camejo campaign here in Rhode Island. I and a fine woman named Annette Gagne served as presidential electors for the Socialist Workers Party here in 1980 during the dramatic Iranian Revolution. At the same time, I read Democratic " socialist " ( ? ) Senator Bernie Sanders served as the SWP presidential elector in nearby Vermont. I still believe that Karl Marx's understanding of the logic of the capitalist system and of capitalist exploitation of the working class is just about as SCIENTIFIC as possible in any scholarly research. However, the POLITICS of class struggle is not yet as scientific more than a century after the iconic " Ten Days That Shook The World " Russian Revolution as weather prediction. Anyway, a hurricane is more likely to be " around the corner " than proletarian upheaval. SOCIALISM just needs a much wider base! Neither historical materialism nor Engel's " Dialectics of Nature " today seem naive to me. Apart from the Crisis of Civilization there seems to be a " crisis of science ". Too many scientists cannot free themselves from the intellectual tyranny (and considerable economic pressure) of the bourgeoisie. But I will add that the biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM. It was making THE STATE " officially atheist " strangling FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT. Note that the WOKE WARRIOR " liberal " Democrats (dominated by secular ZIONIST Jews) never miss an opportunity to mock Christianity, especially Catholicism, and religion in general with venomous hostility to Islam. To be sure, alienating billions of religious people all over the world is no way to build a mass socialist " vanguard party. " [ "My hope is to encourage the reader to engage in a deeper, more analytical, theoretical and historical inquiry into the problem of socialism and social and institutional agencies necessary for its realization in the twenty first century. Given the anthropogenic crisis of nature that 10,000 years of class society and over two centuries of fossil fuel powered capitalist industrialization have caused, we are running out of time to affect a radical social change worldwide to bring harmony among ourselves and with nature of which we are nothing more than a small part.

It is occasioned by the suicide of an early socialist friend in Tehran recently who suffered from schizophrenia. Thus, my telling of a story of four persons who I knew in or around the movement who bore the burden of mental health as well as noting others. Much of the essay is given to the political context of these episodes hence another use of the term "madness." Iranian socialist movement was ravaged by factional and violent struggles while the participants hoped to end the Shah's dictatorial regime.

This article begins with the life of T. Cuyler Young to trace the critical genealogy within the field as it developed, in cooperation between American and Iranian scholars, during the reign of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi. It proceeds to analyze two cohorts of American scholars whose political inclinations ranged from liberal reformism to revolutionary Marxism. As revolutionary momentum swelled in Iran in the late 1970s, critical scholars broke through superpower dogmas and envisioned a post-shah Iran. However, Cold War teleologies prevented them from fully grasping Iranian realities, particularly Khomeini's vision for Iran. This article argues that the modern field of Iranian studies in the United States was shaped by multiple generations of critical voices, all of which were informed by historically situated encounters with Iran and expressed through a range of methodological and theoretical perspectives.

However, a closer look at images of militant women finds them residing within the traditions of their time, as part and parcel of an era of liberation movements in which the idiom of the female fighter featured prominently. This article takes a transnational look at tropes of women's militancy and traces how they filtered into Iranian revolutionary culture. Finally, it contends that only with the consolidation of Khomeini's power and the start of the Iran-Iraq War is this figure renamed Zainab and sustained as a central icon of the Islamic Republic.

Kamran Nayeri: The Crisis of Civilization and How to Resolve It

Kamran Nayeri [ "In a sense, every human being is in search of her place in the world. Mine has taken me through socialism, that I began to discover in 1971, to ecological socialism, that I have begun to help define since 2009 in my own writings and by selection of posts in Our Place in the World: A Journal of Ecosocialism (OPITW). My view of ecological socialism has been inspired by those who like Henry David Thoreau believe that “In wildness is the preservation of the world.” In June 2017, I collected my own writings from OPITW and established Kamran Nayeri’s Writings blog to facilitate their access to anyone interested. My own view of ecological socialism, ecocentric socialism, stands apart from all hereto anthropocentric socialist and ecosocialist theories. To save the world, we must love it–Mother Earth and web of life of which we are a tiny part. " ]

Why are Jewish the most successful people | Jordan Peterson

I prefer the really smart Jews who REJECT the capitalist, " Culture of Narcissism, " definition of SUCCESS. Read American Jewish author Irving Howe's book " World of Our Fathers ". This famous socialist author documented the roles many Jews played in organized labor, and in various communist and socialist parties. Rather " successful " scientist Albert Einstein wrote an influential essay titled " Why Socialism " circa 1945. By the way, is socialism inherently " anti-Semitic " as many Zionists think? I don't expect any proud Zionists here to answer my question. NOTE: for understandable reason, the Jewish scientist, Father of the Atomic Bomb, J. Robert Oppenheimer was blacklisted in 1950s McCarthy Era as a security risk and a communist sympathizer. To his credit ON THE LEFT.

Lyrics [There was a boy Very strange, enchanted boy They say he wandered very far Very far over land and sea A little shy and sad of eye But very wise was he And then one day A magic day he passed my way Though we talked of many thing, fools and kings This he said to me "The greatest thing you'll ever learn Is just to love and be loved in return" Starry, starry night Paint your palette blue and gray Look out on a summer's day With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils Catch the breeze and the winter chills In colors on the snowy linen land [Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now Starry, starry night Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Swirling clouds in violet haze Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china-blue Colors changing hue Morning fields of amber grain Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did not know how Perhaps they'll listen now For they could not love you But still your love was true And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night You took your life, as lovers often do But I could've told you, Vincent This world was never meant for One as beautiful as you Starry, starry night Portraits hung in empty halls Frameless heads on nameless walls With eyes that watch this world and can't forget Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes A silver thorn of bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Now I think I know What you tried to say to me How you suffered for your sanity And how you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not listening still Perhaps they never will You're gonna do that for me?

[ ' Grant had begun his service with the intention of leaving the army as soon as possible, likely to teach mathematics.[5] Before the end of his term, however, the United States went to war with Mexico over disputes involving Texan independence.[6] Although he fought and distinguished himself in the war, Grant considered the Mexican War “one of the most unjust ever waged by a stronger against a weaker nation.”[7] He thought that the war “was an instance of a republic following the bad example of European monarchies, in not considering justice in their desire to acquire additional territory.”<[8] Grant even opined that the Civil War might have been divine retribution against the U.S. for the Mexican war, writing that “nations like individuals pay for their transgressions.”[9] As Grant notes, there was a link between this war and the rebellion that would soon divide the United States. “The occupation, separation and annexation [of Texas] were, from the inception of the movement to its final consummation, a conspiracy to acquire territory out of which slave states might be formed for the American Union.”[10] A number of other Americans, including Abraham Lincoln, shared Grant’s assessment.[11] His opinion of the justice or injustice of the first war in which he served, however, did not lead Grant to shirk his duty as an officer in the U.S. Army.

The Secret to Jewish Intelligence | Unpacked

ALL races and ethnic groups can take pride in their cultural genius . To what degree is belligerent ZIONISM based on pure racism ? Years ago the United Nations condemned ZIONISM as a form of racism. But is the ongoing Israeli GENOCIDE in Gaza , Palestine a very INTELLIGENT way to assure " NEVER AGAIN " ? I put this question to Jewish INTELLIGENCE . Many very INTELLIGENT Jewish scientists . True ! And of these , not a few were communists and socialists ! The AMERICAN FBI for what they thought were good reasons revoked the security clearance of the Father of the Atomic Bomb , J. Robert Oppenheimer .After ALL He WAS " soft on communism " and the Soviet Union !

10 Jewish Inventions That Changed the World | Unpacked

My favorite Jews are all communists ( like Karl Marx and Leon Trotsky ) , socialists ( like Albert Einstein, Erich Fromm , Howard Zinn, and Irving Howe ) , or very liberal liberals ( like Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan ) . A THOUGHT QUESTION : Is SOCIALISM anti-Semitic, as some ZIONIST Jews think ? Just a decade ago nearly every Republican candidate for US president proclaimed himself a forever disciple of the right wing ZIONIST Jew philosopher Ayn Rand , author of " The Virtue of Selfishness ". One less than life saving invention by a Jewish scientist was poison gas first used in the GREAT WAR that began in 1914. This poison gas was the negative side of the famous " Haber Process in Chemistry ' . Although born a Jew , Fritz Haber captured the spirit back then of bellicose " Greater Germany " Prussia. This poison gas was used at Auschwitz during World War II. Today in 2024 the Jews attached to Zionist APARTHEID Israel did not invent GENOCIDE , to be sure . But they are perfecting it in the spirit of Hitler's Third Reich in Gaza, Palestine. Jews are right to take pride in the Jewish race just as Hitler took pride in the glory of the Aryan race. No reason why we can't all get along !

In contrast to sour Donald Trump and his manic vice president, JD Vance ( solidly blue collar ? ) , WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz, offer working class Americans " The Politics of Joy " ? This should remind American history scholars of Hubert Humphrey's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1968 . To be sure, there was an abundance of JOY outside the convention that so much characterized " The Tumultuous Sixties ". In the 1968 presidential election Humphrey lost to sour , dour Richard Nixon and charming Spiro Agnew. " The Times They Are A-Changin " ( Bob Dylan ) . Is " JOY " what the last four years of Harris and Biden or Biden and Harris was all about ? You can vote on it ! And lose either way - with Harris and Walz , with Trump and Vance . Call it the wonder of the marvelous TWO PARTY SYSTEM in " OUR democracy ". At least we democratic socialists still tell the TRUTH about American capitalism, American militarism, and Israeli Zionism. And TRUTH is not anti-Semitic ! Or anti-American !

A coming world war inspired by stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago ! American military pilots and Israeli military pilots have this in common. They again and again attack targets with cowardly impunity , countries with no rival air and sea defense forces , and with plenty of " collateral " civilian casualties. To be sure , Israeli " collateral " genocide in Gaza , Palestine is no sane way to assure " NEVER AGAIN !

After 65 years revisiting old Broad St. School yard- scenes from " The Old Neighborhood "

I must have been not more than 12 years old when I last entered this abandoned old Broad St. School yard in the Washington Park neighborhood of Providence as an elementary school student. The building itself was condemned last year. So old Broad St. School is no more. It was here that I first learned in October 1957 that those awful Russians had just put SPUTNIK satellite into orbit around the earth. " BEEP , BEEP , BEEP " ... " We will bury you ! ", threatened Nikita Krushchev. But the ravages of TIME ! Circa 1970 I , then a healthy young man, could check out pretty teen age girls across the street from Broad St. School at Burns Bothers Donut Shop . Back then a little too young , these sexy " different flavor female " fantasy dates or FOR LIFE mates , enjoyed along with my . morning coffee. But many years later, no doubt, TIME has done to their radiant adolescent charm what it did to this Broad St. School yard. One of THE GIRLS, I learned , has already died at age 62. I can only remember her at age 15-16-17 ( did she know some happiness ? ). Her lovely friend died a few years later. The charismatic, jovial then young man in charge of the coffee shop was a guy nicknamed " Chubby " . He died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 50 . I remember him as the catcher in local organized soft ball games. My family lived in this then idyllic 1950-1970 Washington Park neighborhood . We moved there from the Valley View Housing Project in Providence , R.I. ( for war veterans ) around 1953. By December of 1960 there were " The Nine of Us " : Ricky , Ronnie , Raymond , Robert , Adrienne, Rita, Stephen , Michael , and John. Children of Domenic and Janet .Rita and Stephen came in with Hurricane Carol in 1954. My emotions in that abandoned Broad St. school yard are best captured by Thornton Wilder's famous play " Our Town ". OBITUARY of " Chubby " Adama - a Washington Park original [Walter F.

"Chubby" Adams, 50, of 118 Roger Williams Ave., a driver-salesman for the Burns Brothers Donut Shop, Broad Street, who died Monday at St. Joseph Hospital after having been stricken in his van at Broad Street and Marion Avenue. Born in West Warwick, a son of the late Walter F. and Mildred (Moone) Adams, he lived in Providence most of his life. Mr. Adams was active in the Rhode Island Amateur Softball League for 25 years and played for several teams. In 1963, he played with the Penn TV team that went to the world tournament. He was also a bartender at the After Five Club, West Shore Road, Warwick, for eight years. He leaves a son, Ronald Adams of Westerly; a daughter, Lynn Erwin of Hopkinton; a brother, James Adams of Warwick; three sisters, June E. Adams of Chicopee, Mass., Linda L. Dutra of Hartford, Ruth Jennings of Rehoboth, Mass., and two grandchildren. The service will be held at 10 a.m. at the Jones-Walton-Sheridan Home, 1895 Broad St., Cranston. Burial will be in Oakland Cemetery, Coventry.]

Why were my words scratched over by the ZIONIST Jew censorship of American public opinion ? [ As a longtime independent democratic socialist ( with no use for right wing blowhard Donald Trump ) I am still amused by the mainstream news media in the United States ( definitely controlled by the ZIONIST Jew wing of the American plutocracy ) trying to re-invent the public image of WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Kamala Harris . As if our mostly CHRISTIAN American working class and lower middle class has not been completely sobered by the horrors economic, political , social , climatic , and COSMIC of the last four years.]
