Trump LOSES CONTROL as He RUSHES MILITARY into Place [ What happens when BOOTS ON THE GROUND combat soldiers begin to think for themselves ? ]
Does it occur to the American ruling class that BOOTS ON THE GROUND combat soldiers - mostly from working class CHRISTIAN backgrounds - might have smoldering negative opinions about the rationality and morality of any war ? How dangerously subversive !
You Are PROGRAMMED To Have Faith - Neil deGrasse Tyson [ Even SCIENCE can be stupefying ! ]
In capitalist USA we are also programmed to have faith in " eternal " capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism . And by teachers like Neil deGrasse Tyson . His New Atheism Cult fans are a essentially a ONE IDEA group of people : that belief in God , that religion in general is bunk . There is no spirit of philosophy here -the love of WISDOM . Even SCIENCE can often be stupefying !
What has Neil De Grasse Tyson accomplished in his astrophysicist science career since wrongly demoting the little planet Pluto from certified membership in the Family of the Sun ? And mocking the ancient sacred Catholic Church ritual of the Holy Eucharist ?
Personal experience of the sad decline of the American Trotskyist Socialist Workers Party [ I myself was never a joiner , never an organization man for ANY cause ]
[As I pointed out in my last post that excerpted Vivian Gornick’s poignant and politically astute “The Romance of American Communism”, I was struck when I read it in the early 80s by how much the CP experience was like our own. This was particularly true of the “turn to industry” that began in 1977. As you will see in the excerpt from Gornick below, both the CP and the SWP used the same jargon. Can you imagine how much stupidity was involved in using the term “colonize” to describe what we did? As if we were missionaries going into the Congo to convert the natives? In fact the passage below refers to conversion three times. We never used that term ourselves (and for all I know the CP did not either) but it certainly describes what we were about. We “went into industry” to sell subscriptions to our stupid newspaper just like Jehovah’s Witnesses going door to door, not to participate in labor struggles which were far and few between. But at least if you were in the CP, you got involved in living struggles. For that matter, the SWP’ers had the same experience in the 1930s and 40s. However, in 1977 the chances were slim that such an experience could be repeated—a function of the low ebb in the class struggle as well as our own ineptitude.
Going into Industry
“GOING into industry” (otherwise known in ironic Party parlance as “colonizing”) is the phrase used to describe the Communist Party’s practice during the Thirties, Forties, and early Fifties of sending Party organizers out to take up jobs as workers in the factories, plants, laboratories, and offices of America for the purpose of educating workers to class consciousness, converting them to socialism, and recruiting them into the Communist Party. Over nearly a quarter of a century thousands of American Communists spent the greater portion of their adult working lives “in industry.” The collective history of the life and work of these CP “colonizers” is one of glory and sorrow.
While for the most part they did not convert American workers to socialism, and certainly they did not recruit them in any significant numbers into the Communist Party, they most certainly did exert tremendous influence on the growth of worker consciousness in this country and contributed vastly to the development of the American labor movement. Throughout the Thirties and Forties, wherever major struggles were taking place between American labor and American capital, it was almost a given that CP organizers were involved. In the fields of California, in the auto plants of Flint, in the steel mills of Pittsburgh, in the mines of West Virginia, in the electrical plants of Schenectady: they were there. They fought for the eight-hour day, the minimum wage, worker compensation, health and welfare insurance. And for one glorious moment—during the brief life of the CIO —they brought genuine worker politics to the American labor movement. What happened to many of the organizers, in fact, was that while they were unable to convert the nation’s workers to socialism, they themselves became gifted American trade unionists.
Karl Millens is fifty years old. He was raised in The Coops, named for Karl Marx, and was for twenty-three years a member of the Communist Party. Between the ages of twenty and thirty-seven he worked in industrial plants all over the Midwest on assignment for the CP. Today, Karl is an instructor in political science in a small community college in the New York area. He has written one book he was unable to get published and is now at work on a second. Publication, he says, is really a minor concern for him; he is happiest when sitting at the typewriter.
“The typewriter,” Karl says, holding out his large, well-shaped hands, “is a machine that fits my hands. The machines I used when I worked in the plant, they never fit my hands. They never felt natural to me, the way the typewriter does ”
Karl Millens is not bitter about his life as a Communist, but he is a sad man. He is divorced, estranged from many of his old friends, lives in a shabby one-room apartment in lower Manhattan, works at a low-paying, intellectually unrewarding job, and seems continually to be repressing a tide of emotional bewilderment that threatens daily to engulf him. It is visibly difficult for him to talk about the past. He is intelligent enough to know that if he could make sense of the past he would live more easily in the present, but he seems to have no confidence in the notion that he ever can make sense of the past. On this cold December night, however, he tries, he tries.
“Growing up in The Coops . . .” he begins vaguely. He passes a hand wearily across his wide forehead grown wider by virtue of a receding hairline. “It was like growing up in a hothouse. We were the hothouse kids of the Left. And like all creatures of the hothouse, we bloomed more intensely, more radiantly, precisely because the atmosphere was artificial. You know, in a very real sense America was a foreign country to us. Electoral politics meant nothing to us. But for weeks before May Day every wall, every storefront, every lamp post in the neighborhood was plastered with ‘All Out May One.’ And on the day itself the local grade school was empty. That was our election day, our July Fourth, our Hannukah, and our Christmas.
“I think almost every other Communist in America was more realistically involved with the country than we were. And more realistically involved with how they could best serve Communism in America than we were We grew up inside a language and a culture that was so dense, so insular, and finally so abstract. It’s incredible, when I think of it. We were all working class. Now, most working-class Communists didn’t romanticize working. But we, having grown up inside the theoretical jargon of Marxist-Leninist thought, adopted the stance of middle-class Party intellectuals and conceived our mission as revolutionaries to join the proletariat as fast as possible. No matter that we really were half-way to being intellectuals, that we felt at home only talking theory, ‘going into industry’ was all most of us dreamed of from the time we were teenagers.
“God! That language. This was supposed to be a movement of liberation, but every time I turned around I felt more and more constricted. Constricted by my language, which was either acceptable or nonacceptable. Constricted by my actions, which were definitely either acceptable or nonacceptable. Books I should or should not be reading, thoughts I should or should not be having. .. The Marxist-Leninist jargon was supposed to be evidence of high intelligence. But I found it put to uses of intimidation, and finally I felt it evidenced more a fear of life than it did of genuinely high intelligence. I remember when I left my wife and went into psychotherapy, I felt like a light had gone on inside my head. I saw a shape to my life I had not imagined before. When I tried to tell my oldest friend in the Party some of the things that were happening inside me, he talked to me as though I were counterrevolutionary vermin, fit only to be isolated in a laboratory or—under the right, the correct regime—taken out and shot. But all that came later, much later, these realizations of mine. First, I had to put in seventeen years in industry, serving the revolution around the corner.
“What can I tell you about the years in industry? They were, for me, slow, imperceptible, pointless death. I spent seventeen years working beside men I never had any intimacy or shared experience with, doing work which numbed my mind and for which I had no physical facility. Its sole purpose was to allow me to grow close to the men and be ready to move when a radically pregnant situation arose. Well, I was never close to the men and no situation arose, at least none I would ever know how to move into. I discovered very quickly I had no talent—repeat none—for organizing, for unionizing, for negotiating. I was slow-witted, clumsy on the uptake, half the time I didn’t know what the hell was going on around me. When a real, a natural organizer arose among the men, not only did I see how far away I was from the action, I couldn’t even encourage the guy in a radical direction. I’d open my mouth and out would come, I’m sure, I can hardly remember now what I said, some Marxist-Leninist formula The guy would just stare at me, shake his head, and walk away. I know he liked me, but I’m also sure he thought I was retarded. “I know that many people who went into industry were terrific organizers and turned out to be great trade unionists. But I have a feeling not too many of them came from The Coops.”]

The Romance of American Trotskyism
Filed under: Trotskyism — louisproyect @ 4:55 pm
My GOOGLE search : " What was the Alan Gelfand case all about on the Trotskyist Left ? - I have no idea what TRUTH is these hopelessly sectarian Marxist party quarrels on the Left
[ "The Alan Gelfand case was a struggle within the Socialist Workers Party (SWP) in the late 1970s and early 1980s, sparked by Gelfand's questioning of the leadership's response to government documents. These documents showed that SWP leader Joseph Hansen had meetings with the Soviet secret police (GPU) and the FBI shortly before Leon Trotsky's assassination. Gelfand was silenced and expelled for his actions, which focused on exposing alleged security lapses and the complicity of top leadership in the infiltration of the Trotskyist movement by government agents.
Key aspects of the case
Discovery of documents: The case began after declassified government documents revealed that SWP leader Joseph Hansen had met with the FBI and the GPU shortly before Trotsky's assassination.
Security and infiltration: Gelfand's challenge highlighted the SWP's apparent indifference to security, as FBI agents had been able to infiltrate the party's offices with little resistance. The case revealed the existence of a vast network of GPU agents involved in the plot to kill Trotsky.
Expulsion of Gelfand: When Gelfand questioned the leadership's actions, he was silenced and eventually expelled from the party.
Legal and political struggle: The case became a legal battle, with Gelfand suing for the right to question the SWP leadership.
Vindication of Gelfand: The case was seen by supporters as a vindication of their struggle to expose government agents within the leadership of the SWP. The evidence presented in the case helped establish the extent to which the Trotskyist movement had been infiltrated and compromised by both the GPU and the FBI. " ]
The American Death Cult [ Has Israeli Zionism - in an extraordinary irony of history - co-opted Neo Nazism in the United States ?
There is no significant cult of " CHRISTIAN nationalism " in the United States . Most CHRISTIANS - especially most American Catholics- are certainly not CHRISTIAN Zionists . THEY are a front group , proverbial useful idiots, for mostly secular , even atheist ZIONIST Jews who rule Israel and control American foreign policy, and very nearly the mainstream news media in " OUR democracy " .
There is not a spark of the New Testament spirit in the FASCIST-ZIONIST New Regime of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller .
Most CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " are not cheering for " APOCALYPSE NOW nuclear World War III . They are not fans of the world proclaimed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in APARTHEID Israel and the warmonger , embezzler V. Zelensky in " Greater Israel " Ukraine .
QUESTION : Has Israeli Zionism co-opted- in an extraordinary irony of history- Neo-Nazism in the United States ? Which explains the weird New Regime in Washington, D.C. ?

The Church Doesn’t Want Thinkers It Wants Believers [ Does our capitalist ruling class really want " THINKERS " among the working class ? ]
Does not American public school education and college-university " higher education " in " OUR democracy " also create " followers " , servants of the capitalist ruling class in all industries of production and service ? Where can literate Americans go - beside the dear public libraries - to begin to learn to think outside the box of capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ?
By daily censoring American public opinion our capitalist class gets to decide for YOU what ideas and and opinions even get a hearing .
The New Atheism Cult cranks have little talent for philosophy - the love of wisdom . They focus on ONE IDEA , that belief in God is bunk ! And never get beyond the effete , sophomoric MIERDA - that was available to any literate person in public libraries way back in the 19th century when it was imagined that Darwin's theory of evolution had shaken metaphysical TRUTH to its core. The Catholic Church in France survived both Voltaire and Charles Darwin ( who was much more polite than our crude and rude New Atheists today ) .
Does our capitalist ruling class really want " THINKERS " among the working class ? Check out TALK RADIO for an answer !
Government shutdown triggers food crisis for 40+ million Americans on SN... [ How WASP American president , Donald Trump has disgraced OLD MONEY WASP ruling class ]
I like what I just read on the World Socialist Web Site today :
[ "The impact could be that 4.8 million people will no longer be able to afford health insurance, according to a September study by the Urban Institute.
The vast social crisis that could be unleashed in two days shows that the social content of Trump’s dictatorship is a war on the working class, imposing on them the costs of the mounting crisis of US capitalism by throwing conditions back decades. It comes amid announcements of thousands of layoffs at Amazon and other major corporations. " ]
As a longtime independent democratic socialist I personally think that the FASCIST-ZIONIST New Regime of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller has a " Greater Israel " FIRST agenda in the USA , in APARTHEID Israel in the Middle East , and in " Greater Israel " Ukraine .
The only reliable allies of the New Regime in the Unite States are the world proclaimed war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel and the warmonger , embezzler V. Zelensky in Ukraine.
Most CHRISTIANS in " OUR democracy " are not CHRISTIAN Zionists cheer leading for " Apocalypse Now " nuclear World War III .
The bourgeois governments of Europe waver in their plans for war with Russia and these hypocritically designated by American imperialism " Axis of Evil " countries. After the " Great War " of 1914 many of the bourgeois governments of Europe were shaken to the core by Lenin's Bolshevik Revolution in Russia .
So not just FASCISM " Can't Happen Here ! " ( with allusion to the famous Sinclair Lewis novel ) .
In a way, ironically , bully buffoon American president Donald Trump must be perceived as a disgrace to the Old Money WASP families in the United States. Back in the 1920s they still had those turn of the century pet prejudices against ALL foreign elements in the United States. F. Scott Fitzgerald 's class American novel " The Great Gatsby " illustrates this on many pages. Close friends with the unsavory Benjamin Netanyahu, with V Zelensky ? . A scandal among the upper class !

The profession of psychiatry in the USA long ago corrupted by greedy ZIONIST Jews
Scholars Proved the Gospels Were Forged! [ Godless nihilists : The power of Christ commands you ! " ]
All this New Atheist Cult venom directed at the world's great religions ! For this long time independent democratic socialist ( and Pre-Vatican II type Catholic ) it seems that their oh- so- exceptional power of LOGIC & REASON is never directed at serious social evil right under their nose : global capitalism , American imperialism, and Israel Zionism .
Since one of their main cult evangelists is the late , alcoholic, ex-Trotskyist Christopher Hitchens , I am perfectly justified in thinking that these petty bourgeois cranks have a right wing political agenda.

Interesting passage from Saint Augustine's " City of God " on the " Fall of Rome " of which he was an eye witness
[ "In the foregoing book, having begun to speak of the city of God, to which I have resolved, Heaven helping me, to consecrate the whole of this work, it was my first endeavour to reply to those who attribute the wars by which the world is being devastated, and specially the recent sack of Rome by the barbarians, to the religion of Christ, which prohibits the offering of abominable sacrifices to devils. I have shown that they ought rather to attribute it to Christ, that for His name's sake the barbarians, in contravention of all custom and law of war, threw open as sanctuaries the largest churches, and in many instances showed such reverence to Christ, that not only His genuine servants, but even those who in their terror feigned themselves to be so, were exempted from all those hardships which by the custom of war may lawfully be inflicted. Then out of this there arose the question, why wicked and ungrateful men were permitted to share in these benefits; and why, too, the hardships and calamities of war were inflicted on the godly as well as on the ungodly. " ]
CORECTION ?
[ " No, Saint Augustine was not an eyewitness to the "Fall of Rome" in \(410\) AD; he was the bishop of Hippo, a city in North Africa, and heard the news of the Visigothic sack of Rome from a distance. He did, however, write his famous work, The City of God, in response to the event to defend Christianity and explain the event as a result of the empire's internal moral decay. Witness to the event: Augustine lived in Roman North Africa and was not in the city of Rome when it was sacked by the Visigoths in August of \(410\) AD.Immediate reaction: Upon hearing the news, he wrote letters to comfort refugees and delivered sermons to calm the fears of those in his own region, which was facing its own eventual vulnerability to Germanic tribes.The City of God: In response to the event, he wrote The City of God to refute the idea that Christianity had caused Rome's decline. He argued that the city's moral decay, not its adoption of Christianity, was the cause of its fall.Significance: The City of God is a monumental work of Christian philosophy and history that presents two "cities"—the City of God and the City of Man—as a framework for understanding the conflict between faith and disbelief.

Amazon LAYS OFF 14K Workers Citing AI, Bureaucratic BLOAT | RISING [ With AI destroying jobs a new Luddite War is smoldering ? ]
Karl Marx's rational explanation of the source of PROFIT in capitalist system is as valid as ever. But a basic law of physics says essentially the same thing : FROM NOTHING YOU GET NOTHING ! ( " conservation of energy " ) .
The genius Karl Marx is not around today to ponder the role of AI in capitalist economics. But is it not axiomatic that if an economic system does not need workers , it also does not need capitalists ? So in this 21st century, instead of their own workers being " the gravediggers of capitalism " , their own " INTELLIGENT " machines are the gravediggers of capitalism.
Do THEY think that some 7 billion working class persons all over the globe will meekly starve to death because THE MACHINES do not need them ? A new Luddite War is coming ?
Who were the Luddites ( GOOGLE search result )
[ "The Luddites were a group of 19th-century English textile workers who protested industrialization by destroying machinery they believed threatened their livelihoods, wages, and working conditions. In contrast to Marxist ideology, which generally views technological advancement as a path to economic and social progress, the Luddites opposed the implementation of new technology when it was used to exploit and degrade workers. The Luddites were not against progress itself, but rather the specific application of machinery that benefited factory owners at the expense of the working class. " ]

Are ALL Americans about to have their SNAP benefits suspended ? [GOOGLE search response ]
AI Overview
[ "No, SNAP benefits have not been cut off to all Americans due to the government shutdown, but funding is set to run out on November 1, 2025, which will cause the suspension of payments. Approximately 42 million Americans rely on these monthly benefits, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed it has insufficient funds to issue payments for November if the shutdown continues.
Here is a summary of the situation:
Government Shutdown and Funding: The U.S. federal government shut down on October 1, 2025, after Congress failed to pass appropriations legislation. Because SNAP benefits for October were funded in advance, those payments were not affected. However, the USDA has now run out of funds to issue benefits for November.
Contingency Funds: Despite previous guidance that indicated otherwise, the USDA stated that it cannot use contingency funds to pay for SNAP benefits. This contradicted the positions of some advocacy groups, such as the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which argues the funds are available.
State-Level Impact: Due to the federal deadlock, the USDA directed states to hold off on sending November benefit data to their Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) vendors. By October 23, at least 25 states had begun notifying recipients that their November benefits would not be distributed.
Pending Resolution: Many families are in a state of crisis as the government shutdown continues into its fourth week. States and food banks are preparing for a significant increase in demand for food assistance.
What SNAP recipients should do
Use remaining benefits: Any existing balance on an EBT card can still be used to purchase food.
Seek alternative assistance: Recipients are advised to seek help from local food banks and charities. Many food bank nonprofit organizations have reported extended queues and are preparing for a surge in demand.
Check state websites: For the most accurate and current information regarding benefit delays, recipients should check their state's SNAP website.
Stay informed: If the government reopens and a funding measure is passed, missed payments will likely be issued later as back pay." ]
Trump’s Plans Are Getting Darker w/ Jim Acosta [ Only an American Labor Party can save even CIVILIZATION in the United States ]
No matter how dark the plans of the FASCIST-ZIONIST New Regime of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller the equally ZIONIST Jew dominated WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party -which pretends to own " OUR democracy - will not be able to save " Democracy in America ". Only a quickly organized mass American Labor Party - undogmatic - like the British Labor Party ( but less compromised ) - can hope to save even CIVILIZATION in the USA . The Left( ?) and Right( ? ) contending wings of the American plutocracy will only bring hopeless chaos to the " American Way of Life ".
Relative to the American working class and lower middle class " Left " and " Right " within the American plutocracy are a political hallucination. Even Hitler had a left and right profile !
True, there are various " socialist " and " communist " parties active in the United States but they have been stagnant and ideologically diseased for more than a century. If they were at all healthy , they would have experienced exponential growth in these times. But they can make a positive contribution to building a mass American Labor Party in the United States.
If the natural elite of the working class and lower middle class fail , then we will see not a glorious New American Century powered by capitalism and imperialism , but a long period of rot , a New Dark Age ( a friend of mine named Ed made this prophecy back in the delirious " Summer of 73 ") .
What a mess--- the long fragmented , cult plagued , history of Leon Trotsky's hapless ( or clueless ? ) Fourth International . No wonder I will remain an independent democratic socialist for the rest of my lucid life !
Yes, there are rivals to the World Socialist Web Site (WSWS) and its parent organization, the Socialist Equality Party (SEP). The WSWS is the main organ of the International Committee of the Fourth International (ICFI), a Trotskyist international. The complex and often fractional history of Trotskyism has produced many rival internationals, each claiming to be the authentic heir to Leon Trotsky's revolutionary tradition.
Key rivals to the WSWS and the ICFI include:
The Revolutionary Communist International (RCI): Formerly known as the International Marxist Tendency (IMT), this Trotskyist international was founded in 1992 and recently rebranded in 2024. It publishes theoretical articles and analysis on its website, marxist.com, and actively recruits members, primarily among the youth.
International Socialist Alternative (ISA): Another Trotskyist international, the ISA was founded in 2019 following a split within the Committee for a Workers' International (CWI). It is active in dozens of countries and publishes news and analysis from a Marxist perspective.
The League for the Fourth International (LFI): The LFI is a Trotskyist international that, like other groups, claims to be the inheritor of the Fourth International. Its online presence, including its main publication The Internationalist, competes for the same audience of Marxist and socialist readers.
Other Trotskyist internationals: Due to a long history of splits and fragmentation, there are numerous other, generally smaller, Trotskyist internationals and organizations that vie for influence within the far-left. These include:
The Fourth International (post-reunification), often referred to as the "United Secretariat".
The Trotskyist Fraction–Fourth International (TF-FI).
The Committee for a Workers' International (refounded), one of the groups that emerged from the 2019 CWI split.
Each of these organizations promotes its own interpretation of Marxist and Trotskyist theory and history and considers the others to be politically flawed or "revisionist". They compete for members, influence, and online readership by publishing their own news sites, articles, and ideological defenses.

I "Debated" a Christian Nationalist (ew) [ Would so called Christian nationalists ever admit that they are lowly regarded subdivision of Israeli JEWISH Zionism ? ]
Would the Christian nationalist whom Kayse Melone debated ever admit that they are a sub-division ( proverbial useful idiots ) of secular ZIONIST Jews in " OUR democracy " now taken over by the FASCIST-ZIONIST regime of Donald Trump and Stephen Miller ? ZIONISM USA and in APARTHEID Israel is far more secular ZIONIST Jew Zionism than it is modified by the hallucinatory CHRISTIAN Zionism probably intoxicated with the semi-occult " Book of Revelation " .
In what way does the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party, led by the likes of Chuck Schumer and Bernie Sanders, apply critical thinking skills - so esteemed by the New Atheism groupies - to Israeli JEWISH Zionism ?
Most CHRISTIAN Americans are definitely not CHRISTIAN Zionists. And " nationalism " is hardly compatible with traditional Catholic Church theology.
Why Pastors Are Quitting at Record Rates [ The New Atheism Cult has no impulse to think outside the box of capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ]
As a longtime independent democratic socialist ( and a pre-Vatican II type Catholic ) I ask these New Atheist Cult groupies again and again: " Where do you go with your manic gray matter LOGIC & REASON zone after it smites all religious beliefs " ? There is a lot more going on in this world outside of " irrational" ( ? ) organized religion. Consider the dismal history of governments that declare themselves " officially atheist " - like the 30 + year reign of the tyrant Joseph Stalin in warped " communist " Russia ?
I suspect that unspoken goddess -mentor of the New Atheism in the 21st century is the anti-Marxist , militant atheist, belligerent ZIONIST Jew , right wing philosopher Ayn Rand , author of the cult classic " The Virtue of Selfishness ". Her gravesite was surrounded by a floral decoration $$ dollar sign ! A biographical sketch of Rand is titled " A Life of Contempt " .
The tone of the New Atheism Cult video lectures does qualify them as the New Hate group . If they are sponsored by anybody it is probably secular ZIONIST Jews ( who must adore ex-Trotskyist , alcoholic Christopher Hitchens, author of " God Is Not Great -how religion poisons everything " ) Like the WOKE WARRIOR Democratic Party , the New Atheists seem to have no impulse to think outside the box of capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism . So much for the fruit of their " critical thinking " skills.

How the New York Times on April 15, 1865 reacted to the assassination of Abraham Lincoln
“THE PRESIDENT IS REPORTED DEAD”: THE NEW YORK TIMES FOR APRIL 15, 1865, WITH FRONT PAGE DEVOTED TO LINCOLN’S ASSASSINATION
(LINCOLN, Abraham). Awful Event: President Lincoln Shot by an Assassin. IN: The New York Times. Volume XIV, No. 4230. New York: New York Times, Saturday, April 15, 1865. Folio tabloid sheet, measuring 15 by 21 inches. Matted and framed, entire piece measures 19-1/2 by 25 inches.
Original New York Times issue reporting the events surrounding Lincoln’s death and the search for his assassin.
[ In the early morning, on the day of Lincoln’s death, the editors of The New York Times printed within funerary black borders, “Midnight. The President is reported dead. Cavalry and infantry are scouring the city in every direction for the murderous assassins, and the city is overwhelmed with excitement. Who the assassins were no one knows, though every body supposes them to have been rebels.” Included are details of the events surrounding the assassination, efforts to save the President’s life, the manhunt for the perpetrators, and evidence of similar attempts made on the lives of both Seward and Stanton. In a small box on page 4, the stunned voice of the editors reports, “The events of last night in Washington will strike with profound horror the whole American people. At this moment of writing, we have only a partial announcement of the facts, and have neither the data nor the spirit for comment.” “Never had the nation mourned so, over a fallen leader. Not only Lincoln’s friends, but his legion of critics—those who’d denounced him in life, castigated him as a dictator, ridiculed him as a baboon, damned him as stupid and incompetent—now lamented his death and grieved for their country” (Oates, 434).]
Ancient writer Plutarch as a moral guide today ?
AI Overview
[ "In his book "Morals," Plutarch voices ideas on how to live a virtuous and balanced life, emphasizing self-reflection, emotional control, and the importance of reason over passion. He explores topics such as the nature of virtue and vice, the value of genuine friendship, the dangers of flattery, and the impact of fate and government. He also provides a framework for moral and political education, urging readers to think critically and apply reason to their daily lives.
Key ideas on a good life
Balance and moderation: Plutarch stresses the importance of avoiding extremes in all aspects of life.
Emotional and rational control: He champions developing a calm, rational mindset and using reason to control emotional impulses, such as anger.
Self-reflection and introspection: He encourages readers to look inward, examine their strengths and weaknesses, and make better decisions aligned with their principles.
Cultivating friendships: He highlights the value of nurturing genuine friendships and warns against the effects of flattery.
Habit formation: He argues that building good habits is crucial for character development and living a life consistent with one's values. " ]
Ideas on morality and education
[ "Moral judgment: He advocates for developing the ability to critically evaluate the behavior of others, particularly in literature and history.
Moral education: He believed in a three-part system for moral development, which included natural ability, theory (training), and practice, with practice leading to perfection.
Stoic philosophy: Plutarch's work is influenced by Stoic thought, which focuses on the importance of reason, virtue, and living in accordance with nature.
Ideas on leadership and government
The nature of government: He analyzes the nature of government, including the role of leadership and the influence of reason on political decisions.
Moral examples: He uses historical figures to illustrate moral and political lessons, showing how leaders succeed when they are guided by reason and moderation and fail when they are ruled by passion. " ]
Interesting passage in Darwin's " Origin of the Species " where finds significant difficulties in his revolutionary theory of natural selection
DIFFICULTIES ON THEORY.
[ "Difficulties on the theory of descent with modification. Transitions. Absence or rarity of transitional varieties. Transitions in habits of life. Diversified habits in the same species. Species with habits widely different from those of their allies. Organs of extreme perfection. Means of transition. Cases of difficulty. Natura non facit saltum. Organs of small importance. Organs not in all cases absolutely perfect. The law of Unity of Type and of the Conditions of Existence embraced by the theory of Natural Selection.
Long before having arrived at this part of my work, a crowd of difficulties will have occurred to the reader. Some of them are so grave that to this day I can never reflect on them without being staggered; but, to the best of my judgment, the greater number are only apparent, and those that are real are not, I think, fatal to my theory.
These difficulties and objections may be classed under the following heads:—
Firstly, why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?
Secondly, is it possible that an animal having, for instance, the structure and habits of a bat, could have been formed by the modification of some animal with wholly different habits? Can we believe that natural selection could produce, on the one hand, organs of trifling importance, such as the tail of a giraffe, which serves as a fly-flapper, and, on the other hand, organs of such wonderful structure, as the eye, of which we hardly as yet fully understand the inimitable perfection?
Thirdly, can instincts be acquired and modified through natural selection? What shall we say to so marvellous an instinct as that which leads the bee to make cells, which have practically anticipated the discoveries of profound mathematicians?
Fourthly, how can we account for species, when crossed, being sterile and producing sterile offspring, whereas, when varieties are crossed, their fertility is unimpaired?
The two first heads shall be here discussed—Instinct and Hybridism in separate chapters. " ]
The mentally deranged are invading our public libraries ! Here at the Wa... [ Severely mentally ill youth are being dumped into our public libraries ]
2024 update on PROBLEM in public libraries : Why is the state of Rhode Island -which shows zero compassion for the destitute homeless - dumping classrooms of severely mentally challenged kids into the Cranston Public Library almost daily ?

These kids are VISIBLY disturbed and sit unquietly in front of the computer screen -often making annoying or grotesque sounds and body noises and uncontrolled body movements ? These kids all need daily PROFESSIONAL supervision - not generous library time . What about the rights of " normal " library patrons who expect a tranquil atmosphere in THEIR public libraries ?

My suspicions that some on line obituaries are AI generated is well founded [ GOOGLE search below ]
Your suspicion that some online obituaries are AI-generated and can feel insincere is, in many cases, accurate. Artificial intelligence is increasingly used to produce various types of content, including automated obituaries, and the practice is driven by both convenience and profit.
However, not all online obituaries are AI-written. They exist along a spectrum, ranging from personal, human-written tributes to automatically generated content from less scrupulous sources.
Reasons for AI-generated obituaries
Convenience for grieving families: When families are overwhelmed with grief, writing an obituary can be difficult. Some funeral homes or websites, like the tool offered by Michigan Memorial Funeral Home, use AI as an aid to help families start the process.
Monetization by "obituary scrapers": Websites that act as "obituary aggregators" gather basic details from funeral home sites and news reports. They then use AI and templates to quickly generate and republish these notices, which are loaded with ads to generate revenue.
Repetitive local news: As smaller, local newsrooms face financial hardship, some use AI for basic, routine reporting to save costs. An obituary is a formulaic news item, making it an easy candidate for automation.
How to spot AI-generated and "scraped" obituaries
AI-generated obituaries often contain generic, non-personal phrases and may use repetitive, stilted language. Look for these specific warning signs:
Generic language: The text uses phrases like "passed peacefully" or "will be missed" without any personal anecdotes or stories that reflect the person's unique life.
Lack of specific details: The piece offers little more than basic biographical information like name, age, and funeral arrangements.
Repetitive or unnatural phrasing: AI can fall into a pattern of using the same words or phrasings over and over.
Sensational headlines: A legitimate obituary is unlikely to have a headline designed to drive clicks, such as "Shocking Death" or "Unbelievable Story".
Incorrect or hallucinated facts: Because AI can produce made-up information, also known as "hallucinating," the notice may contain errors or fabrications. In
