His short stories take you back the world of Irish Catholic neighborhoods in the Great Depression. Farrell was definitely under the political influence of the Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party and even of Leon Trotsky himself then in exile in Mexico.He rejected the Stalinist idea of proletarian propaganda literature. A number of his short stories describe real intellectual types attracted to radical left wing politics.I enjoyed reading many of his now "dated" short stories.

This rather stunning headline is easily explained: For years now the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party, packed with militant Zionist Jews who identify with Zelensky , has promoted the HATE RUSSIA NEW McCarthyism in" OUR democracy".And the agenda of warmonger embezzler Zelensky: create a " Greater Israel" Ukraine. Militant ZIONIST Jews have two countries -- and one is dearer than the other.

‘Religion Makes Smart People Believe Stupid Things’ | Sam Harris

The mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " ,being effectively controlled by secular ZIONIST Jews , is never a booster for God and Faith . But daily it encourages dangerous nonsense about the benevolence of global capitalism, American imperialism, and Israeli Zionism for which the New Atheist Cult celebs are shills for all three ! NOTE : Does TRUTH " violate community rules on hate speech " ? ).

The Rise of Atheism Explained | United Kingdom Atheist Study

As a longtime independent democratic socialist I must ask just what this militant New Atheism Cult would inspire us to do in" OUR democracy " ? Does militant atheism make people better citizens and better soldiers in war time ? Better family men ? Better wives and husbands ? How many homeless shelters and food banks are set up by the more pious members of the " Church of the Big Bang " ? How do the New Atheists stand on global capitalism, American imperialism, and Israeli Zionism for which they seem to be shills for all three ? Vociferous in " God Hatred ", the New Atheism seems to have a very weak HUMANIST social conscience ? And hearts as cold as that "cosmic backround radiation " in intergalactic space , in one of the Great Dark Voids . And a for a little less than 100 dollars you can buy two New Atheism booster T-shirts ! Perhaps a future New Atheism T-shirt will feature the " Son of God Particle " ?

SHOCK MOMENT: Trump Abruptly Interrupts Starmer's Answer About US Trying...

How ironic ! The top American plutocrat of American imperialism, Donald Trump , meets the top representative of British capitalism and the New Colonialism in Europe , Keir Starmer. They must guard THEIR " Free World " ( which includes APARTHEID Israel ) against the more sinister Russian oligarchy of Vladimir Putin. And WE THE PEOPLE in " OUR democracy " are told to believe stale Wilsonian blather that was false more than a century ago. Once again " make the world safe for democracy " most likely by nuclear World War III with POST-COMMUNIST Russia ! And the crushed, humiliated, exploited , oppressed , wretched WORKING CLASS of the world will just passively accept this, or even nag their unemployed sons to join " the service " ? Join the next Great Crusade for the interests of the bourgeoisie directing the " Free World " ?

" Many psychiatrists and psychologists share a secret " ... " that would scare most people " - interesting QUORA article in my email today

Many psychiatrists and psychologists share a secret which is totally unknown to their patients. It is the main characteristic of the profession, and it's hidden beneath the doctor-patient barrier.

Take our friend Celia.

She is a pediatric psychiatrist who constantly struggles with her thoughts which are often inconsistent and weird for someone who has spent 11 years studying Medicine and psychiatry.

Actually, I should say 12 years, since she spent a year in a mental institution due to her suffering from Anorexia since she was a teen, which had grown into a life-threatening condition. Deep down she still has it, since Anorexia never leaves your mind. Celia is always counting calories, always professionally hiding some of her food under her silverware, and often skips meals.

(Her husband hates it, but there's nothing much he can do.)

Although her weight has normalized since a long time, she is tortured by the image she sees in the mirror, and worries about it during most every waking hour. The weighing scale is her mortal enemy, and it constantly calls her for an update.

Celia helps kids with mental issues on a professional basis, but her own mind is a mental mess, and it's really hard to imagine how she can help her patients if you know what goes on in her own mind, how she can untangle the patient's mental knots if she cannot untangle her own.

Celia is unfortunately not an exception.

Most every psychiatrist we known suffered from severe mental issues at some point in their life (and usually still do), and it seems to be a common divisor of the profession: they are attracted to psychiatry because of their own mental unbalance.

It's a contradictory plague we nowadays see everywhere in our everyday life: people becoming "professional" trauma coaches because of personal experiences. Mothers who become birth healing coaches after their own traumatic childbirths, people who become divorce therapists after their own deeply unsettling divorce.

I had a pretty nasty divorce myself, but does that make me a specialist ? Of course not — actually on the contrary. This brave new world of "experience therapists" consists of people who project their own meagre experiences on the problems of their patients, and that's not how professional therapy should work.

This relatively new phenomenon has been hiding in the world of professional psychiatry and psychology for ages, and it's the biggest secret of the profession — an invisible contradictory elephant in the room.

Because trauma does not turn you into a specialist at all —

It turns you into a patient.

There is often much hidden kindness in every" Town Without Pity ". But why does " OUR democracy " still resemble the portrait American socialist writer Upton Sinclair painted of it in his classic of American literature : " The Jungle " published at the turn of the 20th century ? That book was about a lot more than the rotten meat scandal. I just re-read a week ago.

Every FLAWLESS Anti-God Argument Ever Made (Christians Must-Watch)

Should the New Atheist Cult , by some truly divine miracle, succeed in wiping out pernicious FAITH in GOD , I wonder what kind of social system they would try to set up with their new political clout ? I suspect that it would please the late reactionary , belligerent ZIONIST Jew militant atheist philosopher Ayn Rand , author of the cult classic " The Virtue of Selfishness ". And so very RATIONAL are global capitalism, American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ! And " Atlas Shrugged " . NOTE : The New Atheist Cult roadshow celebs are shills for all three ! NOTE : Even the enjoyment of great literature often involves the willing suspension of disbelief .

Keep ‘In God We Trust’ Out of Schools | FFRF’s Ask An Atheist

[ Why did the secular ZIONIST Jew censorship cross over my words in the post below ?] With reference to the American Constitution separation of Church and State never meant hostility between STATE and CHURCH . The Founding Fathers had nothing in common with the obnoxious New Atheist Cult roadshow celebs . What the militant atheists want is to institutionalize hostility between CHURCH and STATE in " OUR democracy ". Their idea of DEMOCRACY has nothing to do with MAJORITY RULE and everything to do with deference to neurotic and cranky minorities. They would have " OUR democracy " resemble the " officially atheist " old Soviet Union minus even a pretense of " socialism ". They really do have an obvious if outspoken-and reactionary political agenda : they are shills for Israeli Zionism, American imperialism, and global capitalism. As another false " community " they are utterly alien from the working class . But they do fit into the agenda of the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party - which was just routed in Election 2024 in the United States. To the degree that American and European SCIENCE has gone WOKE , it has betrayed the very spirit of SCIENCE. 21st century civilization is closer to " The End of Science " than to the " End of Faith ". The " God Particle " is a joke even in halls of " science " . So is " The Church of the Big Bang " .

Why We Don't Need Religion to be Moral | Dan Barker

All the New Atheist Cult inspired " God Hatred " is a long way from the polite , HUMANIST atheism of the Nobel Prize winning French writer Albert Camus . It is highly neurotic and sophomoric . And it ignores the EVIL caused by essentially godless global capitalism, American imperialism, and Israeli Zionism. It only appeals to rather unbalanced petty bourgeois intellectuals and permanently sophomoric college students. It is utterly alien to working class people and will never have a mass audience and following . People should tremble before they mock God !

Cape Cod's Dark Secret: The Tony Costa Murders

vv The family of Patricia Walsh , victim of Cape Cod serial killer Antone Costa, lived down the street from my family on California Ave., Providence , Rhode Island in the then idyllic post war Washington Park neighborhood. It does seem like such a long long time ago now. We lived at 315 California Ave. The Walsh family lived at 232 California Ave. I just checked these addresses in the on- line Providence Directory. Of course the whole neighborhood was shocked when they read about the pretty young girl - murdered by the drug crazed Antone Costa in Provincetown, on Cape Cod.I used to play touch football in the street with her brother, Dennis whom I remembered as a lively, joking athletic type. Danny Barclay - now a Providence Police detective - was one of his chums. Patricia Walsh now and then gave the California Ave. gang a ride in her light blue Volkswagen -which a while back I recognized in a magazine article. She seemed the vivacious type , still with a mild case of adolescent acne. I think I heard it from Dan that Patrician's parents had turned her bedroom into a shrine - left unchanged for years. And from Dan that Dennis responded to the fiendish murder of his sister with lyrics from the Beatles : " Let it be... let it be.. I may have bumped into Dennis a few years ago, but I simply was not prepared to discuss the events of 30 years ago.The Walsh family were members of the St. Paul's Church parish.

In his account, Costa and a friend identified by the pseudonym "Carl" were consuming LSD and Dilaudid with the two women. Carl then shot Walsh and Wysocki. Costa claimed he was able to subdue his friend, and upon realizing that Wysocki was still alive, used a knife to end her suffering. According to Costa, he and Carl then buried the bodies.[8] The novel also describes the deaths of Susan Perry and Sydney Monzon as being due to drug overdoses. Costa claims it was Carl who dismembered and buried their bodies, and that he had no knowledge of it until after their deaths.[4]

Atheists Rip CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM Apart For 1 Hour

The New Atheists definitely have a political agenda-indeed quite a reactionary one : they are ALL shills for Israeli Zionism, American imperialism, and global capitalism. You can be sure that God Hating in this world will not become an epidemic. Given STATE power the New Atheist Cult would create a regime very similar the STALINIST nightmare in the old Soviet Union- only minus the " socialism " . As a longtime independent democratic socialist I concluded long ago that the biggest mistake of the Soviet Union was not SOCIALISM . It was making itself a dreary , godless, " officially atheist " tyranny.. The New Atheist roadshow will at most attract significant numbers of neurotic petty bourgeois intellectuals and permanently sophomoric college students, who will form a " community " that will remain in the pockets of the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party here in " OUR democracy " USA . Like the LGBTQ+ " community ". You can be sure that the HUMAN in human beings will never worship the " God Particle " or some future " scientific" revelation " Son of God Particle " !. Leave it to " village atheist " type eccentrics to form the " Church of the Big Bang " !

" FAMILY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING "

The Ultimate Playlist of Atheists Dismantling Religious Beliefs

The more honest New Atheism recruits should realize that focusing their wrath on " unscientific " religion ( has Science a method for arriving at ultimate metaphysical truths ? ) will never win over a mass audience. They should see that the real root of much EVIL and mental confusion in human life is the deeply IRRATIONAL nature of global capitalism . You will rarely hear any of the New Atheism Cult road show celebs voice damning criticism of global capitalism, American imperialism, and Israeli Zionism. Organized religion ( to be sure, in many cases wallowing in darkness ) does not nearly do as much EVIL as these other social forces . To be sure , secular ZIONIST Jews, attached to belligerent APARTHEID Israel , are more involved in preparing nuclear World War III than any CHRISTIAN establishments.

No surprise that at the end of Sinclair's novel the Lithuanian young man, Jurgis Rudkus, joins the Socialist Party. Really the book was not all about rotten meat ! In general ,the homeless crisis in " OUR democracy " is on collision course with landlord-capitalist PRIVATE PROPERTY rights.

Caught on Camera- Providence middle school brawl

How will the minds of these kids ever be " turned on " or how can they get basic education and a minimum of " cultural literacy " in an atmosphere hostile even to CIVILIZATION ? These can be LOST YEARS for so many " underprivileged " youth while so many subjects like math and science are accumulative . How can you learn elementary Algebra if you got lost in Arithmetic class ? How can you make any educational progress at all if even reading a short story for English class is an impossible ordeal for you ? And what is all the VIOLENCE about ? The content of the Freudian ID ? Raging hormones ?

South Pacific Original Soundtrack : This Nearly Was Mine

A long long time ago my father going by his radio name on WEAN , Providence, R.I. " Don Rogers " received a fan mail from the woman writing him below to " Please play the musical score from South Pacific some time ". Well, for Lauretta M. Talbot wherever you are , I share this video in memory of " Pop " and his still remembered " Dream Time " show " [ " Dear Don , I want to tell you how much I enjoy your show. I'm up usually at 3 A.M so I put the radio on very low so I won't awaken my husband, Please play the musical score from " South Pacific " some time for me . Thank You, Mrs. Lauretta M. Talbot , 1387 Langley St. , Fall River, Mass., Dec. 21st 1960 " ]

Wave of anchor shake-ups hits television news | USA TODAY

None of these news room celebs could ever rise above the petty bourgeois " respectable" presentation of " THE NEWS " . Nor would this be tolerated by the capitalist owners of news media. TRUTH is alien to the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy ". Preparing the next stupid big war : yet another BIG LIE . Of course, with stale Wilsonian blather that was false the first time around, circa 1917. "What if THEY start a war and nobody shows up ? " . Just a " Tumultuous Sixties " THOUGHT-CRIME.

The Providence Journal’s printing facility to close

I enjoyed working there at their front gate guard shack (US Security Associates) mostly part time for a number of years. I loved the quiet of the night shift. Always alert on the job, but before they put high tech cameras and computers in the guard shack, always with interesting stuff to read .My boss there Ed was a perfect gentleman and a former town manager of East Providence. Now and then I worked the front desk at 75; Fountain St. and could see all the PROJO celebs passing in and out of the building. Often I had classical music playing on low. Every thing and every place is just a moment in time. On the fourth floor there was once the Providence Journal radio station WEAN. My father worked there for more than 30 years. The printed newspaper is in its death agony all over the country. But I still prefer it to lousy computer screens. My best friend' s father, Bob Marshall, for years worked at the Production Facility as a fork lift operator. I have somehow inexplicably lost touch with friend Ron , still living somewhere in New Hampshire.
