More than anything, this coup attempt is a war of class. If you are not making millions you're no part of the club.

 

The History of Violence made American, A Dangerous Moment.

More than anything, this coup attempt is a war of class. If you are not making many millions a year, you are no part of the club.

I understand the point of view of some of the people who attacked the US Capitol on January sixth 2021. The ones that are believers of the lies of a President, a President who even challenged and questioned the validity of the voting process that put him in the White House four years before. Supported by Congressmen and Senators that parroted the lies or twisted the truth, to give some credence to the notion that it was a stolen election. Supported by right wing radio, or TV, like The Fairly Unbalanced gang at Fox, OAN, or News Max. Media that for many years promoted spin or outright falsehoods. Social media that did little or nothing until after the disaster in the halls of Congress. Not that I believe any of that for a second, quite to the contrary. If that is what I actually believed, I would be really mad.

The notion that a The former president Obama was not even an American, who was not born in the US, and therefor not a legitimate candidate, much less elected President. The idea the President Irump pushed, that millions of illegal aliens voted in the last presidential election that put Donald in the White house. The Idea that America was going to the join past Democracy's or Republics of the past, in the dust bin of history. That the Media is totally crooked. That We the people would lose our country, then I would also be very mad.

The Nazis and white nationalists and supremacists, I do not understand, I find totally unacceptable in any form.

The History of America has been riddled with violence since before the time of the Colonization by the Brits and other European powers. Violence does not bring remedies, and if not careful could be a farewell tour.

The so called “Discovery” of America by the Italian Sailor and Captain, began the bloody extermination and enslavement of the natives of the Caribbean and then the main lands. The expeditions financed by the oligarchs and Queen of Spain.

The Brits often used the Divide and Conquer strategy, to overcome a land or a people, “How about You and Him fight”. Our People in America are being played off against each other now, today by and for a new kind of Tyrant.

The Americas and Native Peoples were taken over by brutal tactics and for foreign Oligarchs. The Spanish, the French, The Dutch, the Brits. Now America has created our own class of Oligarchs, and a new class of Tyrant that by a crazy stretch of the old common laws beyond all imagination, and a twisting of the Constitution into a pretzel. A class of tyrant so powerful, it is almost impossible to hold accountable in any court of law.

We have a long history of violence, For Good or Evil ends. Many against our own people, The Conquistadors, the French and Indian wars, Colonization and occupation. The Revolutionary War, The war of 1812, The Civil War, The Indian Wars. The wars against the Unions and the redneck wars, that lead to the time frame of the Robber Barron's and Teddy Roosevelt. Two World Wars. The internal fascist movements in America against FDR. Then moving to expansionism of a new form and foreign wars. The Banana Republic wars and the Spanish American war, Philippine-American War, Korean war, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. The internal wars against civil rights movements, against the Peace and Anti-nuke movements, and equal rights for Women, LGBT or inter-sexed people. The new ideological external wars, in central America, Iran Contra wars, wars on drugs in South America and Mexico and inside our country. The Middle and Near East in a fashion of never ending war. Drone wars by remote control as if a video game. For the profit of Corporations and an out of control international Supremacy of the State, and Corporations. Numerous forms of economic warfare, for many reasons, for control of resources and power, or just to preserve a questionable monetary system, unless this might kill the golden goose.

Now another looming internal war, promoted by a lying President who refuses to concede an election that He lost by overwhelming numbers, in spite of receiving the most votes of any republican presidential candidate ever. After losing 64 court battles. Supported by corrupted media that no longer support fact, but play opinions and spin off as “real facts”. Who magnify the lies of dangerous, want to be Oligarchs.

These “Persons” are a new class of tyrant called Corporations. President Eisenhower warned us “Beware of the Military Industrial Congressional complex”. Wars are big business. Now wars for the mining of labor or oil, and resources world wide have become common. Run by stuffed suits in boardrooms or on Wall Street, who steal from everyone in America and the world without ever putting a hand in your pocket.

Corporations that buy and sell our seats for Congressional Representatives or the Senate, Governors and for sure Presidents, and now even local and state governments. Corporations that now have more rights than real living people. These Corporations are now the foundation on which the American fascists stand. Washington and most of the State Governments have been taken over by a new kind of tyrant. Usury Banks, Animal Agriculture and Agribusiness, Fossil fuel corporations, Insurance corporations hand in hand with Big Pharma, the privatization of schools, the privatization of prisons, and to whatever degree our Military. And now the most insidious corporate entity, is the corporate controlled Media, which has become and new international money laundering machine. The only industry mentioned and protected in the Constitution has been subverted by big money.

An economic system that has shipped millions of productive America jobs and American factories overseas, just to profit these new corporate tyrants. Leaving millions of people with little hope for a future, and blaming the losses in the economy on foreigners or dark skinned people. Never admitting that the real problem is the greed of the corporations and the Oligarchy of Big Money.

In an interview with President Jimmy Carter a few years ago, he said that America is no longer a Democracy but an Oligarchy of unlimited bribery. Control must be returned to people and local control, or by counties or states.

When the Donald ran for president, it was a publicity stunt to get more money for the reality show “The Apprentice” and to up grade the Trump brand. The Republicans had been headed to the sell out of America since Ronald Reagan, and regardless of Morals or Principles, and into wholesale corruption since Watergate. The Attack on the Air Traffic Controllers union was a first serious salvo against working people in the early eighties. Trump is just a symptom of the sick system that has sold out the American people for profit. Doing away with controls over Banking and Wall Street, insurance and so called Investments. Turning Wall street and the commodities markets into a glorified gambling casino.

The Corporate Structures and Sold out media, have created these insurrections and sedition we are seeing in America. Created by a Lying President with the enabling of the other Politicians who failed to stand up timely and say that this was not a stolen election. Trump played like he was in it for America or People.

But the real criminal is a form of out of control capitalism that values money and greed over people, and the King Midas corporations that will monetize everything they can and leave nothing for any Real People, the environment, the institutions of federal and state governments, the educational institutions, the infrastructure, and the culture and traditions of America, and the American people. IF you are not making many millions or billions, you are not part of thier plan, but just being used to serve that new class of Tyrant.

On the issues. Citizens United and the problem of money in the American political system. #MoneyoutofPolitics.

The problem of money in the American political system has brought us the current corrupted situation in Washington D.C. and the problems in our State Legislatures. The Federal Constitution never granted the authority of the Supreme Court to redefine the meaning of words.

    Santa Clara V. Pacific Railroad was a fraud that held that railroad corporations are persons, has been taken to extremes today. Used as a cover for bribery and criminal  actions by Corporations. Buying and selling politicians and laws.
 Corporations are artificial entities created by licence from the state, not persons. It is the responsibility of the state to control the creations of the state.

    Buckley v. Valeo which removed limits on campaign donations from corporations and equated money to speech, began the mud slide that ended with Citizen United in 2010.
Money is money, speech is speech.
If a corporation is a person (Which it is not ) and it can spend as much as it like to influence a particular political race, then it is above the equal protection clause as it relates to real persons. That is "We The People" who are limited to how much we are allowed to spend by the campaign laws. This is just a total royal perversion of the original intent of the founders of our Constitutional Republic.


    Political office and elected or appointed officials are bought and sold, or beholden today to those that have donated to their champaign or their particular political parties. The usury banking and financial, insurance scam, including big pharma were the largest doners in the 2016 election cycle. Much of the political process has become a giant money laundering and bribery system to keep the same corrupted profits going to the same crooked political systems that created this mess we are in. 

     Money is not speech. Corporations are not persons. The Supreme Court has become the enemy of the state and the people.  The Republic invisioned by the founders is at a turning point in the history of the United States. Choose well which side of history to stand on. History has judged other failed republics harshly. 

     Our  republic  and people  are not  artificial entities. Democracy is not a spectator sport, tag your it.  The Representatives in Congress can not read your mind. The future of our families, and the people are depending on what happens in the next few days and weeks. movetoamend.org   #MoneyoutofPolitics

There is a winter storm on the Horizon, because it's #Bernado season in Iowa! #FeelTheBern #IowaCaucus


because it's season!

 Noam Chomsky  Renowned academic weighs in on US presidential candidates and their chances, saying elections are "mainly bought", and says Bernie has best policies.                    
Even though Senator Warren has not yet endorsed anyone for this presidential election she stands with Bernie by her words and actions.  Elizabeth Warren on corporate Rigged  Justice.

 So on the issue of open and honest discussion in the election process  Tulsi-Gabbard
 was banned  Rep. Tulsi Gabbard Banned From Democratic Debate.   And then there is Ohio state Senator Nina Turner Who says the future is to important to go from "yes we can" to "no we can't."

On the issue of reparation recently brought up by Ta-Nehisi Coats I must ask "what about reparations to our planet earth," or our Native brothers and sisters who were here before anyone from across the other side of the pond. Then there are other Indigenous Peoples  , all over the planet.  We (As only part native myself.) realize that we must always looked at building alliances, coalitions, or being part of coalitions. We must all stand together. We have a chance to fix this great mess of a Democracy we have today, and get big money, power and greed out of our Democracy.

  Bernie  started with about 3% name recognition last Spring. OOOOHH  #Feelthebern. Bernie just passed the former first lady and Secretary of State in one last poll before tonight's #Iowa caucus.
One very nice Lady was asking me "Why are Republicans so mean."  Don't focus on what we do not want. Focus on what we do hope to have. What we are doing with Bernie is to focus on what we see and have that is good, and what we desire to see become real. Something to have for our children! For Republicans it is focus on fear, or "us against them", and not team work, or what we desire like the Bernie team.
Much is actually hard wiring from a young age. Many just need to be told what to do. About 20-25% of population are "Wired that way" from youth and focus on fear or negative issues. We almost all know those ones that say "Well, There ought to be a law." Vote for your hopes not your fears. We got 'em on the run. #wearebernie. It will take all the help we can get. And thanks to everyone now in advance for all your help.

 Why do people around the world support Bernie?  Because of real issues like Usury Banking.
 170 Economists Endorse Bernie Sanders’ Plan To Reform Wall St. And Rein In Greed.
I found a very old book on Economics at the Thrift store last year. 100 years ago the job of a banker was not even considered an honest or productive part of the labor force. Put an end to #tobigtofail banks.

Berniesanders says people-before-polluters !!!  There is no one main stream candidate like Bernie on the ISSUES. This is my pet issue, environment. I will not even start to rant about this. This has been my main issue ever since the time I  did my first issue signature campaign to save the whales in the Early 1970s.  The Republicans do not even admit that Climate change is real, much less than that it is actually happening; Like a giant ostrich with its head in the sand.  

 Bernie stands up against giving Billions of dollars to the fossil fuel corporations as subsidies while they destroy fresh water and the ocean.   On the issue of climate Naomi Klein  who is a journalist, in her new book, and also a new movie this changes everything.  Naomi addresses the issue that it really is "Capitalism Vs the Environment."  Also very clear is that it is all of us against the giant corporations. This little ball of wax we live on was the garden of Eden and it could be again, however we must stop destroying our own environment. 

On GMOs Bernie makes it very clear, as he does on the issue of Environment. On the other hand our former Secretary of State $hillary not so much.

So to those in the business of GMOs who are already trying to debunk the "Spread of GM mosquito conspiracy theory hurts fight against Zika" Virus,  we respond that it ceases to be a theory once there is enough information to indicate that it is so. You betray yourself by your own action. Like the Kid caught with a hand in the candy jar. "WHO ME, I was just lookin." This is one gun that you can not un-shoot.  We must stop this!! Even if this is just a "Conspiracy Theory" about the GMO mosquito, the continued use of drugs, pesticides and GMOs only aggravates and creates more unforeseen disease and disease resistance.   The World health organization just declared the Zika virus a health emergency.  This along with spreading of multi-drug-resistant bacteria and superbugs from disastrously polluted water. #Feelthebern  Long live Bernie. This is the fight of our lifetimes for all of us!!!

The problem is the solution. Real food for real health.

Permaculture  is a form of agriculture to improve the micro climate of your area by working with the natural systems that already exist in your area. A process for creating a self sustaining food scape. There are many other methods of natural food production as well.

As long as we continue to allow the giant agro-industrial food giants to pollute the food chain with GMOs and petrochemical pesticide production, and destroy the environment and the water tables in America and the world we will continue to have the destruction of the health and well being of the people of our country everyone else on our little planet.  The production of food like products are the cause of most of the health problems in America today, and will continue to be so until the Giant food producers end this practice, or the government stops them. Or should we call them food polluters?   If you want to call the toxic stuff  produced by the giant food conglomerates food. Obama care (The affordable care act ) has still to address the issues of providing natural health care to all the people who do not use drugs and surgery to maintain health and wholeness in a natural or organic method. Just google dangers of GMO foods and see what you can find on your own if you do not believe this. Cheaper does not mean better

If the problem is health care then how about some care for the environment and the production of real food Mr Obama. I dare you  to stand up to the giant agro polluters. provide some real health car to our people.

Aaron Swartz cofounder of Reddit, prosecutorial overreach, control of people and Information, by Government.

Aaron Swartz is just another example of the government use of power and prosecution for control of information. Like Julian Assange or Bradley Manning,  Aaron is a true hero in the line of people like Daniel Ellsberg. The control of information should not just be for profit, but used for the betterment of all people everywhere! Aaron will always be remembered for his fight against internet control by Government.

The use of government for such despicable ends as covering there own misdeeds must end. Sign the petition to remove the federal prosecutor in this case. Not that this will bring back Aaron, but we the people must send a message that it is time for our government to return to a tool for the good of all people, and not just to control people or information for the profit of the giant corporation that buy and sell politicians and people like kids in a candy store.

Remember Aaron Swartz, for what he believed about the importance of our Freedoms. These rights and freedoms are our natural and god given gifts, and like so many of our gifts and freedoms; if we do not use them we will loose them. To use the line that the Military and industrial complex like to use; Freedom is not free. Let your Elected and Appointed officials know what you think this week and every month from now on. Even if it is good also. We really do need to support our good elected and appointed people in government that really do understand how we feel about these important issues.

A short bit about Aaron from Democracy Now.
