A population with taught CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS is in no danger of succumbing to the BIG LIE

 

I really think that FREE SPEECH and FREE THOUGHT are less dangerous to " OUR democracy " than certain malicious " misinformation " as judged by capitalist ruling class censors . A population with taught CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS is in no danger of succumbing to the BIG LIE . But our public schools prefer to teach CRITICAL RACE THEORY rather than CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS .
Of course , our venerable mainstream news media -led by the venerable New York Times - never misleads the American public. Like telling us about " weapons of mass destruction in Iraq " before the start of the greatest foreign policy blunder in American history : the invasion and occupation of Iraq -which has destabilized the Middle East to this day.

Missing the old Providence, Rhode Island

MANY years ago downtown Providence was ALIVE with classic movie theaters. And lurid hotels-like the Gemini and the Pilgrim Inn - just reeking of dark, voluptuous SIN.

 

What I miss in the Kennedy Plaza area are old friendly, cheap restaurants for early hot coffee & ham & eggs & toast , breakfast. There used to be several of them a minute or two walk from the RIPTA bus terminal. Not much of drinker myself, I still miss those cozy little , unpretentious , Peggy Lee Song ( " Is That All There Is ? " ) friendly BARS in the same area. This Providence place is now desolate, blighted , and melancholy.
And , of course , MANY years ago downtown Providence was ALIVE with classic movie theaters. And lurid hotels-like the Gemini and the Pilgrim Inn - just reeking of dark, voluptuous SIN. Not much of a hell- damned sinner myself , I still miss these alluring places.

The Ukraine has been a " prize " catch for European imperialism for centuries now. How much respect did the British Empire have for SOVEREIGN people everywhere ?


Only the spirit of SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM can abolish nuclear weapons . Since when was the USA a pillar of SOVEREIGN nations on all continents ? So much effete Wilsonian blather heard to stir up war fever against Russia. Were ordinary working class people in the Ukraine - with deep Russian roots - languishing with a longing to join an already moribund NATO alliance ? Are American plutocrats so much nicer than Russian oligarchs ? A FOOLS WAR in the Ukraine !
Any honest scholar of American History will laugh at all these FALSE WORDS : How much FREEDOM have WE THE PEOPLE experienced under the Biden administration ? What more can BLACK LIVES MATTER want than a bloody war in the Ukraine ? Way back in 1965 Black Muslim Malcolm X made a connection between racism and capitalism , between racism and imperialism . The Ukraine has been a " prize " catch for European imperialism for centuries now. How much respect did the British Empire have for SOVEREIGN people everywhere ?
