The Hate That Hate Produced (1959) | Malcolm X First TV Appearance
The New Atheist Cult reeks of both Islamophobia and crazed God Hatred. As a longtime independent democratic socialist I think WOKE WARRIOR Democrat fulminations against " hate " fail to see the very social foundations of HATE . Way back in the early 60s there was a TV special on Malcolm X and the Black Muslim movement in America titled " The Hate That Hate Produced ". In his Harlem speeches Malcolm X made a connection between racism and CAPITALISM, between racism and IMPERIALISM. If Malcolm X were alive today he would certainly make a connection between racism and Israeli Zionism, odious racism in APARTHEID Israel. The New Age Cult celebs pretend never to see the irrationality of capitalism and the endless wars of American imperialism together forever with Israeli Zionism in crimes against humanity. Indeed, the New Atheist roadshow celebs are shills for all three global evils.

Why Religion Indoctrinates Children
Children in " OUR democracy " in the public schools are indoctrinated everyday in what Karl Marx described long ago as " the ideas of the ruling class ". And since when did the American Constitution decree the TWO PARTY SYSTEM as right for all time ( with both parties constituting the left and right wing of the plutocracy ) ? Did the American Constitution declare the CAPITALIST SYSTEM tantamount to FREEDOM for all time ? But what about the universal law of CHANGE applied to human society ?
Not just children are brainwashed in " OUR democracy ". But " educated " adults are daily brainwashed by the mainstream news media to accept the world view of American imperialism and Israeli Zionism and the amazing IRRATIONALITY of capitalism as just a fact of life. Are WE THE PEOPLE inclined to applaud nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST( post officially atheist ) Russia?
The WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party -just routed in Election 2024 - has betrayed the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization for decades now,
Would the New Atheism roadshow cult end this dastardly " indoctrination " of children by establishing the United States as an " officially atheist " country ? Like the dreary tyranny that was the " officially atheist " ( never quite socialist ) old Soviet Union ? Instead of the catechism the kids can be introduced to the New Atheism Cult classic by Christopher Hitchens : " God Is Not Great ... how religion poisons everything " ?

‘Do not forget’: Bernie Sanders has a message if you’re worried about Tr...
The mission of phony " socialist " Democrat Bernie Sanders is to bamboozle young American voters, tempted by really radical ideas , back to voting for WOKE WARRIOR " progressive " Democrats -like Bernie . . Bernie himself invariably endorses whatever " lesser evil " Democrat candidate the DNC anoints . I was a critical supporter of Bernie Sanders in 2016 -until he endorsed warmonger Hillary Clinton.

The Jewish bourgeoisie for decades has been entrenched in the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party of Kamala Harris , Joe Biden, Barack Obama , and Bill and Hillary Clinton. And the mainstream news media invariably favors or fawns on the WOKE WARRIOR " progressive " candidates of the Democratic Party .
A crack in the monolith was indicated by the " liberal " Democrat celebrity lawyer Alan Dershowitz abandoning the Democratic Party . Did he actually vote for MAGA " fascist " Donald Trump who remains popular in Zionist APARTHEID Israel ( no surprise ) ?

8 Minutes that Demonstrates the Irrationality of Organized Religion
The philosophical talent of the New Atheist roadshow cult is on the intellectual level of a college sophomore not quite bright enough for a college level physics-calculus class. But narcissistic SELF-APPRECIATION always helps in show business.
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I have suspected for years that the New Atheism roadshow celebs are ALL shameless shills for very IRRATIONAL global capitalism, American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism.
How is a still nearly universal belief in God more " irrational " than a capitalist warmongering society based on LIES & BRUTALITY , on the daily exploitation and oppression of the world's BILLIONS of working class - mostly religious - people ?
Were the New Atheists celebs prepared to tell their audience to vote for the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party of Kamala Harris and Joe Biden ?
Democracy doesn’t exist in the United States: Chris Hedges | UpFront
My brother Steve sent me this note this morning :
Steve Ruggieri
06:33 (7 hours ago)
to me
Ron,
[You introduced me to Hedges who I have tremendous respect for. Here is his latest interview, and I think it’s his best.
https://youtu.be/5EDKRGkgLsI?si=sTuIeQJ8Ea5iqrB_
I don’t think anyone would be wasting their time listening to this in its entirety. Very sobering!
Talk soon! ]
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I see ( whatever my own limitations ) no significant organizations ( like some pretentious Marxist " vanguard " party ) on the Left that offer real lucid CLASS CONSCIOUS leadership to the working classes of the United States and Europe. To be sure , the just defeated WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party is the last place to direct them. Like you can " Trust Bernie Sanders " ?
Despite the danger posed by so called CHRISTIAN Zionists the Left is wrongheaded in joining the WOKE Democrat, daily bashing of Catholics , Protestants, Muslims in half-cracked God hating rants. I am certain this God bashing is instigated by secular ZIONIST Jews attached to the Democratic Party. They also seem to be the very pillars of WOKE ideology in the nation's public schools and colleges. Not true ? Anti-Semitism here ? Protesting genocide in Gaza, Palestine is also inherently anti-Semitic ?
The biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM. It was ( under pressure from world capitalism ) turning itself into a dreary , godless, " officially atheist" tyranny.
I am convinced the ubiquitous New Atheists with their YouTube roadshow are ALL shameless shills for Israeli Zionism, American imperialism, and global capitalism. And their arrogant obnoxious cult is imbued with toxic Islamophobia .
In the hell of a world Chris Hedges is right to warn people not to lose their souls trying to adjust to it. The instinct of CONFORMITY turns millions of once decent people into rather dangerous robots . Try to get somebody nowadays to say something , to THINK something , beyond a MADE FOR TV soundbite ? Keep listening to that precious TALK RADIO in " OUR democracy ". Also, hardly any responsible voices remind us that we live in the Golden Age of False Advertising . The consumer beware !

Why Belief in God is an Outdated Superstition | Richard Dawkins
The atheist dialectical materialist Karl Marx said way back in 1848 that the capitalist system was " outdated " and would eventually be overthrown by the millions of oppressed and exploited workers of the world ? Does the New Atheist cult have a PROGRESSIVE political agenda ?

How many of our New Atheism cult members find the Age of Reason in CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM?

And God bless you!
Health alert: New blood pressure medication recall
I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and diabetes two years ago. The diabetes pills seem to be doing fine. The doctor at first recommended low dose 10 milligram Lisinopril, then 20 milligram pills. During an echocardiogram testing my blood pressure was still unacceptably high (with no symptoms). A call was put in to see my primary care physician the next day. He already called into my CVS pharmacy a supplement high blood pressure pill. At the office I saw the building nurse, not the doctor. She must intend to monitor my condition. I will visit her office next Friday to check on the efficiency of the new pill combination. Not wanting to sound like a cranky " difficult " patient, I politely suggested to her that the Lisinopril could be, in fact, RAISING my blood pressure - the exact opposite of the INTENDED effect. As if not paying attention, the nurse assured me that the Lisinopril was preventing a stroke. Well maybe! But if the pill prevents a stroke by LOWERING my blood pressure, does the reverse make any sense? Well maybe?
Of course, at my age (months away from age 78) FATHER TIME is just as effective a " silent killer " as high blood pressure. So, I would be foolish to be mad at the health care professionals with their " Myth of Sisyphus " daily challenges. Which, of course, includes MAKE A BUCK capitalism.

Theology of suffering ? Excerpts from Albert Camus " The Plague "
09:21 (2 minutes ago)
“I understand,” Paneloux said in a low voice. “That sort of thing is revolting because it passes our human understanding. But perhaps we should love what we cannot understand.”
Rieux straightened up slowly…
“No, Father. I’ve a very different idea of love. And until my dying day I shall refuse to love a scheme of things in which children are put to torture.”
Rieux works to combat the plague simply because he is a doctor and his job is to relieve human suffering. He does not do it for any grand, religious purpose, like Paneloux (Rieux does not believe in God), or as part of a high-minded moral code, like Tarrou. He is a practical man, doing what needs to be done without any fuss, but he knows that the struggle against death is something that he can never win.
The theology of the Catholic Church is nearly a theology of suffering .
But common HUMANITY must survive with or without the HOPE of transcendent meaning . " The Absurd " in Camus' philosophical existentialism ( ? ) always leaves us alone in the universe ( of " benign indifference " ? ) without THE ANSWER . And who is right , the priest Paneloux or the good doctor non-believer Rieux ? Who knows ?
[ This line, "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning," is the concluding sentence of Thornton Wilder's novel, "The Bridge of San Luis Rey." ]

One unflattering view of SEP leader David North and his World Socialist Website
David North
UPDATE: Comments have been closed on this article because I simply cannot waste my time replying to people who are not worth replying to. I regard the Socialist Equality Party as detritus left over from the period when sect and cult formations operated in much more fertile soil. Today they are completely irrelevant. I only commented on the WSWS's laughable article because the website is influential to an extent on people who are not mentally ill. Those who are part of David North's fan base had their moment to make their case here and they ruined it by evading my repeated demands that they explain the obvious contradiction between Robert Scher's written statement and the comments he made–at least how they interpreted them–during the Congressional questioning seen on Youtube. That's all folks. Don't go away angry. Just go away.
" Neil deGrasse Tyson's Staggering Fall From Grace : When ' Science Becomes the Joke ' " by Clara Winslow
Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Staggering Fall from Grace: When “Science” Becomes the Joke
Clara Winslow
Nov 25, 2024
In a world grappling with real crises and questions demanding intellectual rigor, Neil deGrasse Tyson, once a beacon of accessible science, has descended into an embarrassing spiral of oversimplifications and misplaced arrogance. The self-proclaimed torchbearer of scientific thought recently made headlines—not for groundbreaking insights, but for a stunning display of intellectual hubris that left even his supporters wincing.
In an interview that quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons, Tyson attempted to lecture his audience on gender identity and societal norms, wading into waters far removed from his astrophysical expertise. Rather than enlightening, his comments revealed a startling detachment from reality and an eagerness to parrot trendy ideologies without the slightest acknowledgment of dissent or complexity.

Trump administration offers buyouts to all 2 million federal workers
Both the just defeated WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party and the victorious Trump MAGA Republican Party - this perpetual TWO PARTY SYSTEM - is fundamentally loyal to the American plutocracy, to the ruling capitalist class. The STATE they serve was accurately described by the Russian Revolutionary leader V. I. Lenin circa 1917 : " State and Revolution ". The Republicans in " OUR democracy " are more eager for the state of the millionaires and billionaires to drop the non-essentials ( past concessions to an insurgent working class ) and show its POLICE STATE fangs and its military might to intimidate the working class at home and its numerous foreign foes abroad . To show the world just WHO is really on top - the American imperialist together forever with the Israeli Zionists in crimes against humanity.
But the long written history of the human race shows a dreary succession of ruined empires and ruined ruling classes. In which the voice of the Biblical Ecclesiastes is heard, as if from above : " Vanity of vanities, all is vanity ".
But then what did the WOKE WARRIOR Democrats have to offer " OUR democracy " in Election 2024 ? Not one member of the traditional " party of labor " was a voice for world peace and real social justice. In fact for years the Democrats promoted the HATE RUSSIA New McCarthyism. They enabled the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine. Instead of real SOCIAL JUSTICE they offered us a Hollywood celebrity vision of WOKE bliss based on daffy identity politics and vacuous political correctness. And their league of ACLU lawyers never applied " Critical Race Theory " to APARTHEID Israel.
All those fearful for losing their jobs, state and federal government office workers ( reliable "VOTE DEMOCRAT" types ) excelled in often making themselves inaccessible to struggling working class people desperately in need of HELP ! And they never failed to exhibit ATTITUDE toward working class people : of smirking disdain and contempt for the hoi polloi . And it was smarter to send tax payer BILLIONS to the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and to the warmonger embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine . The California wild fire victims can wait in line !

New Atheism's most polarising figure?
The New Atheism Cult -led by biologist Richard Hawkins - is not lacking in IMPURE THOUGHTS and motivations . Their cult leaders are all shills for Israeli Zionism, American imperialism, and very irrational global capitalism. In a way, the New Atheism is a more a product of " The End of Science " than of the end of Faith .
So you see just how honest the New Atheism is in its war on the IRRATIONAL !
Why Religion Doesn’t Make Sense Anymore
It seems that the mostly New Atheism Cult roadshow mocking God and Faith won't easily go away. For me , an independent democratic socialist from a proud " Old Catholic " background, the always obnoxious and arrogant New Atheists signify more " The End of Science " than the end of Faith. The motivations of this CULT are hardly pure: THEY want to put the whole world back on the path of " The Age of Reason " ( in the manner the Great French Revolution of 1789 ) . It does seem that FAITH and Catholicism in particular very well survived the fleeting " Age of Reason " ( which gave way to a longer " Reign of Terror " ) in France. The famous Cathedral of Notre Dame testifies to the endurance of the MYSTICAL in the soul of the people.
Today for the bold New Atheism " Age of Reason " revival seems to embrace very much the oh-so- rational status quo of global CAPITALISM and AMERICAN IMPERIALISM together forever with Israeli Zionism in crimes against humanity.
The biggest mistake of the collapsed Soviet Union ( a country founded on the then revolutionary energy of many young atheist Jews , according to Winston Churchill ) was not SOCIALISM . It was making itself a universally abhorred dreary " officially atheist " tyranny.
Today it seems that the vast majority of " public intellectual " Jews are equally fervent , idol worshipping converts to the nation state of Zionist APARTHEID Israel ( their proverbial " Golden Calf " worship for most of the 20th century and 25 years into the present century.
No surprise that ALL of the New Atheism cult leaders are tainted with pathological Islamophobia ( not quite balanced by their hatred and contempt for Catholicism and Christianity in general ) . They are all barely disguised shills for global capitalism, American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism.
NOTE : According to reliable news reports the world is no longer paying much attention to them ( despite the ubiquitous YouTube New Atheism Roadshow Circus ) .
As for " The End of Science " ? Well not quite . There are still things to get the tax paying public excited about : like blacker black holes in deep space and a multi-billion dollar search for " Son of God " particle . The UNIVERSE ,as Science honestly describes it galaxy by galaxy , planet by planet in our own Solar System , conforms more to Providence , Rhode Island horror writer H.P. Lovecraft's " COSMIC HORROR " than to starry eyed astronomer Carl Sagan's happy " COSMIC VISION " of what " hydrogen atoms can do after 10 billion years of cosmic evolution ". Among other UNKNOWN horrors there is present day Satan ruling , Hell on Earth . So God is Nowhere ? Or God is Now Here or at least about to return ?
[ “The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. ”]

Watch Harris & Hitchens Expose The God Delusion For 1 Hour
These underemployed scientists - these New Atheism cult roadshow celebs - daily UNMASK really pernicious irrationality in the wrong place. Hardly anywhere in the world is organized religion actively persecuting heretics . In places like Iran it is a reaction to years of oppression by foreign imperialism.
What the oh-so-smart New Atheist roadshow cranks do not see is how CAPITALISM , AMERICAN IMPERIALISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM " poison everything ". And they ALL are the perfect shills for at least these three EVIL forces in the world. If they could, they would establish an " officially atheist " state in " OUR democracy " - much like the dreary tyranny that was the old Stalinist Soviet Union ( minus the " socialism " ).
The New Atheist cult roadshow signifies not so much a coming End of Faith but the virtual " End of Science ". Nothing to discover now but blacker black holes in deep space and the " Son of God " particle ? And for more modest HUMANIST scientists discovering that " God ( as a pre-scientific age conceived the Supreme Being ) " does not exist " is pretty stale news . You can be sure that no working class individuals will flock to these New Atheism roadshow lectures. And not because they are hostile to SCIENCE .
What passes for SCIENCE today is owned and controlled by the world plutocracy dominated by American imperialism and Israeli Zionism. Without the nefarious military industrial complex most of our New Atheism zealots would be over-educated, unemployable paupers . And they might not be so complacent about CAPITALISM, American imperialism, and Israeli Zionism.

What really is poisoning everything now is CAPITALISM, AMERICAN IMPERIALISM, and ISRAELI ZIONISM for which the New Atheist cult celebs are shills for all three !

Perfect Arguments Against God Christians HATE to Hear
The New Atheist Cult roadshow celebs are beginning to seem like UNDEREMPLOYED scientists. All that cerebral power, all those hard earned science degrees ,now go to their roadshow attacks on a nearly universal belief in God , in a Supreme Being , a universal belief in some transcendent moral law. Many of these New Atheist celebs have made headlines for their degenerate sexual behavior around the opposite sex. Go GOOGLE this ! Just check out Mr. Kraus and Neil DeGrasse Tyson.
These oh-so-brilliant intellects find nothing so perniciously irrational in life as religious FAITH. That does not deter them from being shills for jackass patriotism, for jackass nation-state worship , for being shameless shills for very IRRATIONAL global capitalism, American imperialism, and Israeli Zionism. Perhaps this is a clue to their funding . Very few working class individuals are going to buy high priced tickets to to listen to egocentric -UNDEREMPLOYED - scientists attack their precious and sustaining FAITH in GOD . The New Atheist are trying to create a petty bourgeois intellectual New Atheist community . This " community " can always be mobilized to vote for WOKE WARRIOR " liberal " ( especially ZIONIST Jew ) Democrats. Mobilized to vote for more money - more BILLIONS - to hunt down yet another " God Particle " or perhaps blacker Black Holes in deep space. Next goal finding " Son of God " particle !
What we are witnessing here is not the crumbling world of FAITH but indeed " The End of Science ".

In 2016 the mainstream news media smeared Donald Trump as an Anti-Semite.
Trump to ‘bring back free speech’ and only recognise two genders
It is with some irony that I can commend this purported " fascist " ( from the pseudo Left in " OUR democracy ) and now once again President of the United States Donald Trump for at least declaring the Free Speech , Free Thought tradition of Western Civilization not quite dead in " OUR democracy ". Even though Trump promised a while back to ban SOCIALISM ( and I presume socialists such as myself ) from " OUR democracy .
For years the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " never failed to show implacable hostility to " The Donald ". It even claimed after his shocking 2016 Election victory over WOKE WARRIOR Democrat Hillary Clinton that Trump was an American Hitler type anti-Semite.
Curiously ,Trump is more popular in APARTHEID Israel than Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. I just read that some 70 percent of American Jewish voters voted for Kamala Harris in Election 2024.
Despite all this Trump routed Harris in Election 2024. I must assume that " FREE SPEECH " in " OUR democracy " triumphed underground BLOCKED by the DEEP STATE political establishment and the mainstream news media. ( I am sure that a chastised news media will now show the greatest respect for FREE SPEECH in " OUR democracy " . Perhaps even opponents of genocide in Gaza , Palestine might get a voice in the New York Times . Also, Facebook and YouTube will be born again champions of FREE SPEECH .
So although a longtime independent democratic socialist I am rather curiously " soft on " fascist " Trump . For now ! In the future I might be one of many anathematized socialists reduced to writing unpublished " Letters from Prison ". At least my blog will remain in the realm of FREE SPEECH in " OUR democracy ".

Also, I hope his New Atheism morals instructs Neil to be a gentleman around women. The same for Mr. Kraus ( " A Universe from Nothing " ) and the late great science writer Isaac Asimov ( whose son was identified as the King of Child Pornography in California ( ? ) ) .
Ex Trotskyist Christopher Hitchens died a warmongering, Islamophobic drunk . Nope, nothing wrong here ! Clearly militant atheism is not the path to personal sanity and to a saner world .

David Asimov, son of the late science fiction writer Isaac Asimov, was arraigned in Sonoma County (Calif.) Municipal Court on Monday and charged with felony exploitation of a child and related child pornography charges.
Asimov, 46, was arrested on Thursday, after members of the Santa Rosa Police Department seized more than 4,000 computer disks and videotapes from his Bennett Ridge home.
"There were thousands of disks, thousands of videos," said Sonoma County Deputy District Attorney Gary Medvigy, who is handling the case. "Anything imaginable regarding sex between human beings and human beings, or human beings and animals, was there. Whatever your imagination can conjure up, he had it."]

As pretending " liberals ", ideologically in tune with the WOKE WARRIOR American Democratic Party, they are far closer in their general philosophy to the right wing militant atheist Ayn Rand than to the HUMANIST tradition of openly atheist Isaac Asimov , Carl Sagan , and Bertrand Russell . How fitting that the Ayn Rand philosophy classic is titled " The Virtue of Selfishness " !
Like many ( or all ? ) Marxist " vanguard " parties on the Left ( also militantly atheist ) they have no roots in the working class of any country . Their natural habitat is invariably petty bourgeois Academia.
Schools update policies following Trump's executive order on immigrants
I wonder why the WOKE Democrats in Rhode Island persist in their pretense of being so much more solicitous for the vast troubled migrant population than for a few hundred chronically homeless CITIZENS sleeping outside right under their noses ?
The way the capitalist system works is that nobody gets a job just because they are willing and able to work. The CAPITALIST must find their labor power exploitable, in tune with their PROFIT SYSTEM.
If the numerous migrants remain in the country , should these migrant ( workers or criminals ? ) have AFFIRMATIVE ACTION access to jobs and housing ?
To be sure , an international socialist government of the Western hemisphere would have no problem establishing EQUILIBRIUM between workers coming and going across nation-state borders. The only way out for capitalism in crisis is lies and brutality !
Unpacking Campus Antisemitism: Insights and Realities
Not old fashioned " liberal " Democrats want to redefine anti-Semitism so that students protesting Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine can be smeared as " anti-Semites " by a ZIONIST Jew dominated political and Academia establishment. The old fashioned " liberal " Democrats - in contrast to today's WOKE WARRIOR Democrats - would defend the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization.
Contempt for FREE SPEECH was a big factor in the WOKE WARRIOR Democrats big time defeat in Election 2024.
How ironic ! With the Israeli genocide in Gaza , Palestine pricking the conscience of the world , the mainstream news media prefers to focus on perceived anti-Semitism always equating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism. Pampered and privileged rich Jewish kids on American college campuses are not in any " danger " the way Palestinian kids are in Gaza.
Socialist Tells Ben Shapiro: Workers Should Own the Means of Production
Naturally, the professional appointed THINKERS for the American capitalist class , the American plutocracy, would never agree with the scientific insights of Karl Marx on the basis of capitalist exploitation and oppression ; they would never even patiently study the Marxist labor theory of value ( like the Devil and holy water ! ).
On the contrary, try to find fairly well educated working class people who think the very idea of CAPITALISM is wonderful , so compatible with the American Constitution and the Bill of Rights ? I have never met a working class person who was immediately turned off by the IDEA and IDEAL of socialism .
Naturally a ruling class in any society thinks that a world in which THEY are on top, are secure and super -comfortable, is the best of all possible worlds .
Apart from Karl Marx and Das Kapital a fundamental principle of physics, indeed of the universe , put simply is : " You can't get something for nothing ! ".
In the irrational world of CAPITALISM the vast majority of common people who do all the work own virtually nothing while a tiny minority of the privileged class tied to Corporate America own virtually everything . That makes sense ? That is so very right , so very much the way of FREEDOM ?
Now and then History teaches that humble exploited and oppressed people rebel . And they do not listen to the shameless but well paid intellectual and academic apologists for the ONE PERCENT .

‘Russia Will Be In Big Trouble’: Trump’s First Shock To Putin On Day 1 I...
We democratic socialists - not the phony Democratic Socialists in bed with the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party- have said for years that the TWO PARTY SYSTEM is mostly fail safe for the agenda of the American plutocracy . Still, it was the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party which has promoted the HATE Russia New McCarthyism.
And we can count on the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " to bless the agendas of the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel and the warmonger, embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine .
But recall a wonderful, now Orwellian Thought Crime from the " Tumultuous Sixties " : " What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? ".
No referendum for nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia in " OUR democracy " ?
Biden's letter to Trump revealed | LiveNOW from FOX
[ "As I take leave of this sacred office I wish you and your family all the best in the next four years. The American people – and people around the world – look to this house for steadiness in the inevitable storms of history, and my prayer is that in the coming years will be a time of prosperity, peace, and grace for our nation." May God bless you and guide you as He has blessed and guided our beloved country since our founding." ] Coming from a stinker personality of late life Joe Biden , the letter is very properly gracious . It does seem that the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party had no use for God or cared to mention God in any of their speeches or legislation . No coincidence that the obnoxious New Atheism cult is comfortably ensconced in the Democratic Party of WOKE & WAR ( not one voice for world peace among them ) .
Both ancient Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish theology warn against the sin of idolatry . And nation-state WORSHIP is definitely a form of idolatry. It makes moral sense not to call upon the God of the Old Testament, and especially of New Testament, to assist American imperialism together forever with Israeli Zionism in crimes against humanity.
The muzzled anti-war movement in " OUR democracy " should be pleased and encouraged by President Donald Trump's Inaugural pronouncement to revive respect for the FREE SPEECH , FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization. I suspect it is comparable to " Read my lips. No new taxes ! " . But we shall see .
Changes coming to the DOJ and FBI after Trump executive order
I see al this from the democratic socialist perspective in " OUR democracy " : That the FBI is on Trump's poop list has nothing to do with its history of terrorizing organized labor and its outspoken , often SOCIALIST minded, political and religious leaders. MAGA Trump's issue with the FBI has more to do with how they annoyed or infuriated his own ALL AMERICAN plutocrat agenda. In the midst now of Trump's administration RFK Jr. is openly accusing " DEEP STATE USA " of assassinating his brother President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and his father Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 . Also the American Left concluded long ago that " DEEP STATE " CIA and FBI are implicated in the assassinations of Black leaders Martin Luther King in 1968 and Malcolm X in 1965 ( the family of Malcolm X have initiated a lawsuit here ) .
Supposedly ,the Attorney General of the United is in charge of the FBI with its anti-terrorism agenda . Not so long ago " domestic terrorists " included PRO-LIFE Catholic Church activists . We can assume that loyal ( to the plutocracy ) FBI agents see no moral problem with " OUR democracy " assisting APARTHEID Israel with genocide in Gaza, Palestine. College students protesting this genocide must be officially smeared as " anti-Semites " .
Of course, for us real democratic socialists THE SOLUTION is not to return to power as soon as possible the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party ( possibly with " socialist " Bernie Sanders playing a greater role ) . We call for the formation of an American Labor Party - like the British Labor Party but less stuffy and compromised. And with no predisposition to mindless violence. Or to compromise with LIES & BRUTALITY .
RIDOT employee files whistleblower lawsuit against department
We have a feckless WOKE WARRIOR Democratic governor in McKee but he cannot be expected to rise above the organized incompetence of his WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party and his own administration bureaucrats. Not only is the State of Rhode Island inept at sheltering a few hundred chronically homeless persons . Lately , I notice that severely mentally disturbed youngsters -by the busload - are being DUMPED into the Cranston Public Library. This has nothing to do with " compassion " in high minded officials of the state and the public library. There is clearly no " therapy " going on over here and very little supervision.
A " problem " with the state budget ? According to Wall St. news the rich in " OUR democracy " have been getting richer for years now . Post MAGA Trump Inauguration are we to believe that our beloved WOKE " liberal " Democrats here in Rhode Island were ever seriously opposed to "THE OLIGARCHY " ?
End of Faith: BRILLIANT Arguments Against RELIGION
In American public schools kids were brainwashed in my school days about the wickedness of atheist-communist Russia in contrast to God fearing and FREE capitalist America. The New Atheist cult would love to restore the " officially atheist " state minus the " communism " or " socialism ". They are ALL shills for CAPITALISM , AMERICAN IMPERIALISM and ISRAELI ZIONISM. And they make themselves part of the propaganda for nuclear World War III against POST-COMMUNIST Russia, and Islamic Iran in defense of Zionist APARTHEID Israel and " Greater Israel " Ukraine.
Quite apart from his dallying with petty-bourgeois atheism ( well known in the 19th century ) Christopher Hitchens ( the now dead drunk ) was infamous on the real Left for being an ex-Trotskyist supporter of American imperialism's invasion and occupation of Iraq . Also his born again Zionist zealotry .
A New Atheist classic by Christopher Hitchens : " God Is Not Great - how religion poisons everything " . Nope , no prejudiced mind at work here !
Re: " Your work and accomplishments are being recognized " . By whom ? The FBI , " Deep State " ?
LOL. Oh the absurdities!

From American author William Faulkner 1950 Nobel Prize acceptance speech :
[ " I refuse to accept this. I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of compassion and sacrifice and endurance. The poet’s, the writer’s, duty is to write about these things. It is his privilege to help man endure by lifting his heart, by reminding him of the courage and honor and hope and pride and compassion and pity and sacrifice which have been the glory of his past.

Blah , blah , blah ? Invite the New Atheism road show to Hollywood California for spiritually uplifting lectures in the midst of that hell fire conflagration !

As a long time independent democratic socialist I welcome this news for what it is worth : [ "
NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump on Monday ordered that no federal officer, employee or agent may unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen, an early step toward his campaign promise to dismantle what he called government “censorship” of U.S. citizens.
The president’s executive order, issued just hours after he was sworn in to a second term, comes after Trump and his supporters have accused the federal government of pressuring social media companies to take down lawful posts over concerns around misinformation.
The order also instructs the attorney general, in consultation with other executive agency heads, to investigate how federal government actions over the four years of the Biden administration could have infringed on free speech and propose “remedial actions” based on the findings. " ]
For years I have had numerous posts REMOVED, not by orders of the US government, but by the authority of the owners and managers of social media - like You Tube, like Facebook. Unlike decades ago even the mainstream news media has on 24 hour duty a phalanx of censors ( how many CHRISTIANS among them ? ) of anti-war , anti-Zionism , American public opinion.
It seems that the commonplace opinions of working class CHRISTIANS in " Our democracy " routinely " violate " community standards against hate speech ". This from the very people who have no problem with Israeli genocide in Gaza, Palestine!
I do think that an investigation by Congress ( initiated by the much maligned " anti-Semitic " ( ? ) SQUAD ) is called for her. For decades now the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party has betrayed the FREE SPEECH, FREE THOUGHT tradition of Western Civilization . It has supervised an ideological WOKE reign of terror on devout Catholics, Protestants , and orthodox Jews .
I certainly do not see the legally persecuted, now US President Donald Trump, as more the " fascist " than the inner core of the Biden-Harris, 0bama , Schumer Democratic Party . For no mysterious reason MAGA rhetoric won the hearts of a deciding number of working class voters in Election 2024 . In general, the American working class does take the Bill of Rights seriously . Unlike the WOKE Democrats !
This man was sent by God to save capitalism, American imperialism and Is...
In truth Donald Trump will probably turn out to be no more of a " fascist " than the bulk of the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party " liberals " after their " Last Hurrah " for presidential candidates Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
The 4 Horsemen of Religion (Fathers of New Atheism) Vs. BELIEVERS
What is left of " Marxist vanguard " parties -still godless - have al degenerated into bizarre personality cults toxic to ordinary working class people . They have gone nowhere in one hundred years . Browsing Isaac Asimov reference book short biographies of scientists , I am struck by the number of eventual suicides and unbalanced personalities. So if you see yourself as a future crusading for atheism professional scientist- like the Big Four - you are well advised to " get a life ! " Could the New Atheism road show be a sign of " The End of Science " instead of " The End of Faith " ?
ATHEISTS Schooling CHRISTIANS For 1 Hour (Perfect Debates)
Do the TV road show evangelists of the obnoxious New Atheism cult advocate -like the old Soviet Union - an " officially atheist " FREE WORLD ? Without ever moralizing about the EVIL of global capitalism, American imperialism , Old Europe colonialism, Israeli Zionism they would have their audience of mostly petty bourgeois WOKE " liberal " potential recruits for the unholy CAUSE consider becoming PROFESSIONAL atheists with their very own MAKE A BUCK road show .
The biggest mistake of the old Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM . It was making itself an " officially atheist " tyranny . Religious people did not fit into their CLASSLESS ( read Leon Trotsky's " The Revolution Betrayed " ) society.
But unlike the old Bolsheviks, most of them redeemed by a HUMANIST outlook, the celeb leaders of the New Atheism cult are shameless shills for Israeli Zionism, American imperialism , and global capitalism. These intellectual snobs will never persuade the masses - the BILLIONS of the world's Catholics , Protestants , orthodox Jews , Muslims...- to abandon their FAITH with which they make sense out of LIFE in general and make sense out of a seemingly infinite universe ( NOT from NOTHING ! )
They will never erect the likes of Notre Dame Cathedral over " relic " tracks of the God Particle ( or Son of the God Particle ) .
The people who are really serious about changing the world for the better should not be lacking in emotional intelligence ( like too many fanatics on the Left and on the Right ) . What is left of " Marxist vanguard " parties -still godless - have al degenerated into bizarre personality cults toxic to ordinary working class people . They have gone nowhere in one hundred years .
