Republicans; A Tradition of Messing with Texas. #Sold out. #Privatization #Plutocracy.

 

Its not as if Texas was enough of a mess before this.

A privatized electric grid. A winter disaster that killed many people because of Privatization, Ala Ronald Reagan. Many more died from the Republican designed privatization than the Texas Republican leadership wants to admit..

This is to say nothing about all the damage to the infrastructure in Texas from the lack of electricity during the #Snowmageddon storm.

Now the 2010 census is ready and its time to reapportion the congressional seats for the State and Federal legislatures.

The Republican leadership know they will loose leadership and both houses if they do not cheat and steal the next election. As if that was not enough the Texas Republicans are hoping to remove many people from the voting rolls and make it harder to vote. There are many more dirty tricks up their sleeves with more to come if they can pull it off. The Democratic leadership and other members have left the state and fled to DC to hopefully get some help from the Dems and stop this continuing disaster

I am from New Mexico, and was still living in New Mexico around the time of the 2000 Census. I remember the State Legislature of Texas was in session and the Democratic Party membership of the legislature left the state of Texas to prevent the Republicans for instituting a new Redistricting map for Legislative seats.

Some of the Texan Democratic Legislators showed up in Santa Fe. The governor of Texas said he was going to send the Texas Rangers to find them and Bring them back. Needless to say the Authority's in New Mexico were not real happy about that idea.

There was still some animosity about Texas and New Mexico. Going back to the time of Spain or the Mexican Revolution, The division of lands, by the Federal government. Everything west of the Rio Grande river in New Mexico was considered part of Texas at one time. New Mexico and many New Mexicans still had title to their land that were land grants from the Queen of Spain. There were Families that felt like the Border crossed New Mexico, more that once. The older People used to say “We didn’t cross the border; the border crossed us”

New Mexico has almost always been quite progressive, since there was such a large ethnic mix since before New Mexico was a state. The Spanish, who exterminated, or conquered dozens of Native tribes. The Scots-Irish that did not get land in the time of the Oklahoma land rush gave away a lot of Native Tribal lands to more foreigners. But I digress! I was Thinking about Oligarchy and Tyranny.

We Now have an Oligarchy of Unlimited Bribery of Unlimited, and Headed towards Tyranny of a single party that has no honor or any shame about Lying to keep their Phony Baloney Jobs.

They Think it is about Money and Greed, and the next election to keep getting massive donations from the corrupt corporations and criminals they are bought off by.

Call your Congressional Representatives and Senators.

Tell them its time to Stand on the Progressive side of History.

The Oligarchy of unlimited Bribery. #Joe Manchin and #Kyrsten Sinema

 

 

It has become Clear that the Corporations have bought, and own the Elected and Appointed officials at many levels of our Government in the United States. As Jimmy Carter Called it, “An Oligarchy of Unlimited Political Bribery”.

Exxon-Mobile has stated publicly that they have Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema in their pocket . We can safely assume that they own all of the Republican party in federal positions in Washington DC. We can also assume that there are many other Democrats including Chris Coons and John Tester who have sold out in DC as well.

Check out opensecrets.org and see what your elected officials are reporting. This does not cover any of the vast amounts the Black Money that does not have to be reported from the 501-c-4 organizations or Super PACs. They have totally run amok since the 2010 decision of the Supreme Court called Citizens United which said money is speech. Now the majority of the Supreme Court is controlled and bought by the Corporate Fascists. This is so bizarre. Anyone with any common sense knows that money is money and speech is speech and never the twain shall meet.

There is now one party is actively acting to end democracy, and traitors to the Republic and their Oath of Office. The Republicans who have sold the birthright of a nation for a bowl of soup. Who have called January Sixth a regular tourist day. It was not. Who still push the ‘Big Lie’ every day. There are some so called Democrats that are actively aiding and abetting the traitors.

The First Article in Amendment to the US constitution says nothing about Money. It Very clearly covers the Five Freedoms related to Speech. It only applies to People, not Corporations. Only “We The People”,

All things People do, Worship, speech, a free Press or however you communicate today, the right to assembly which was the way to communicate back then before phones. The right to Petition for a redress of Grievances, that is to sue the government if needed. Or as it is also now used to push elected officials into doing the right thing via petition.

It is very clear that the Founders never intended to grant any special rights to the artificial organizations like this. They even went so far as to start a war over the power of a corporation. The British Corporation; The East India Company. The one that was shipping Tea and Opium into America, and famous for the Boston Tea Party. It is now looking like We could be at the edge of a new civil war in our country. It happened before in our country and its time to work to make sure this does not have to happen again. What can we do in defense of democracy.

It looks that We The People may have to Make a New Declaration of Independence from a new kind of Tyranny. The Tyranny of Dark Money and the The Oligarchy of Unlimited Bribery, Monopoly and corruption. It looks as if the Oligarchy is more interested in their money and power than they are interested in the people of America. That is the people who actually do the work that makes their insane amounts of wealth and greed possible. They are more interested in power and control than taking care of the planet or the environment and our common biosphere that we all must depend on to live.

I hope these people come to their senses before it is to late.

The National Chamber of Commerce has said they will donate to Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema since they Voted to stop the 15$ Hour Minimum Wage.

Joe Manchin used to be part of the Koch Brothers networks that have perverted much of the legitimate functions of our Government. The ones that Buy and Sell elected and appointed officials like a kid in a candy store. I presume Joe still is owned, even if it is not so openly as it used to be. More like a Mole now, than to representative for People in West Virginia.

Let your Congressional Representatives and Senators know about this and that it is time for this to end now. It is time for a truly open and honest discussion about corruption, and the open sale of politicians and our government, the elephant in the room. That our governments have been bought by big money and corruption. We Must have an open, transparent and honest government that includes all voices in elections. To raise generations of young people and tell them the long winded story about freedom and democracy in the form of revisionist history, and then say “aww tricks this doesn't include you!” is very very dangerous. The climate is already burning. Last summer the US. was burning, and looked so much like 1968-69, after the George Floyd murder.

Are you ready for a figurative kicking and scratching match? Ready to pledge you life, your time, your skills, your sacred honor, to save the vision of a more perfect union? To save the Planet?

An attack on the vulnerable and Young

 The absolute insanity of the right wing rethuglicans will not be tolorated. This is criminal.  The governor of arkansas vetoed a terrible bill, and the legislative branch over road the veto. It's an attack on the young and vulnerable. The Republicans leadership have lied the country into wars and economic disasters. A disaster of a pandemic, and an inserection. It's not cancel culture to call a lier a lier. This is a criminal assault on the young ones in our country! #EndtheRepublicanParty Now!

It's time for this shit to end now. The line must be drawn in the sand, and this can not go any further. There is nothing patriotic about the attacks of the young people in this way. The rethuglicans are traitors to the ideals of the republic and the constitution.

Nuclear is not Clean or Green. Ten year since the Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown disaster

 

Nuclear is not Clean or Green.

Nuclear Truth. Lairs for Hire.

Ten year since the Fukushima Nuclear Meltdown disaster, and One year since the Deceleration of the Covid 19 Pandemic by WHO.

My Dad was in the Air Force in the World War Two time. He was trained as a paratrooper. He was one of the people that was to be part of the first wave of the assault on Japan. Because of the Bombs that never happened. It never happened because of the bombs, Little Boy and Fat Man. The first and so far only Nuclear Bombs used in a War on our planet.

After the war he was stationed in New Mexico, at Kirkland Air Force Base in Albuquerque. That was where he met my mother. Later He worked at the Sandia National Labs. His specialty was Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.

The Government would send him to other places sometimes. He worked at Los Alamos once in a while. It was only about seventy five miles away if you go through Santa Fe. Once in a while they would send him to Lawrence Livermore in California, but not very often. I remember when we would go to the airport, so that he could go to Area 51 or to the test range at Tonapah (Shishone Reservation) where they tested nuclear bombs in Nevada. That was in the days before the Government used to Lie about the existence of Area 51. I guess they had no reason to hide the truth back then, or it didn’t matter.

I know that he got Nuked in his work, but not sure where. His regular work was at Area 5 in the Sandia Labs. There was one of those lead glass windows that was like half of a foot thick and very yellow to stop the radiation in the test reactor. It was straight back from the entrance to the lab office. There were a couple of those mechanical arms with controls to move stuff around inside the radioactive area. It had Rows of those banks of magnetic tape type of memory machines, for the computers off to the right. There were four rows of those tape machines. There was a couple of those type of punch card machines sitting back to back to put new information into the computers. They were sitting between the reactor and the rows of tape memory machines. Most people did not understand how bad the dangers of nuclear contamination was back then.

We got to got to go there on family days at the laboratories. It seemed super cool to me back in the early Nineteen Sixties. There was a Rocket Sled out back of the area five laboratory. They would use it to test newly designed parts to see how they worked, or to see if it would stand enough G-Force. It was set on a thing like a train track and had a big long trough full of water out at the end to slow it down. There was a giant pile of sand out past the end, I guess to stop it if it didn’t slow down enough in the water trough.

I didn’t know at that time that my dad had been nuked. A friend of my dad that worked with him, in the laboratories had a son that was born with some serious deformities about that time. He was a pretty cool kid. They lived just down the street from us. I remember playing with him. He just walked real funny and his limbs were real short and not shaped right. It really scared my dad. My little sister had been born not long before that time. I used to bug my parents, and my mom. I would tell her that I wanted a little brother. I would tell my mom that its not fair that my big sister got a little sister. I didn’t understand why my dad didn’t want to have any more kids. So as a result, I never got to have a little brother.

I had a Physics Professor at UNM, named Charles Hyder, who was one of the members of Physicists against nuclear, and for social responsibility. I did not realize at that time that he was so opposed to Nuclear. He eventually did what was the longest protest and Fast on the Steps of the Capital Building in Washington DC.

The International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War, in the middle of dealing with the Covid 19 Disasters have renewed their call for the end to Nuclear Weapons in any form. They consider Nuclear Weapons, and the possibility of the use of these weapons to be incredibly worse than this current disaster from this pandemic.

Most people do not know that the worst Nuclear disaster in the US was not Three Mile Island.

I was living in New Mexico at the time of the Tailings spill from the United Nuclear Corporation Church Rock uranium Mill Processing Plant. This poisoned the Rio Puerco River for over eighty miles. Polluted the water tables in the area, and contaminated the lands and the Navajo Nation all the way past the Arizona border. This was not far from where our current Secretary of the Interior is from, at Laguna Pueblo. They were not prepared for this kind of accident. The spill eventually contaminated the Navajo lands and other areas south and east of there and much farther.

There was some Government housing constructed in one of the smaller Laguna pueblos called Puyte in the Laguna area. The construction people did not realize how contaminated the area was. The amounts of radon were found to be so high latter after they were already built that the Government had them torn down.

There are many other places in New Mexico that are very contaminated. The whole area around the JackPile mine near Grants. Some of the older uranium digs that were from the World War Two time outside of Grants New Mexico. The area of Shiprock in the Four Corners. The messes from accidents or just normal operations at Los Alamos. The areas near Sandia Labs. Many places where mining was done to be removed to processing areas. Areas that were not productive enough to continue mining, but never cleaned up or never cleaned up properly. That is, if it is actually possibly to clean up uranium or other kind of radioactive material properly.

Fukushima. The Storage Facilities at the Fukushima reactors have run out of space for storage of nuclear contaminated water and Tepco is now getting ready to dump over flow contaminated Water from cooling the Reactors into the Pacific Ocean.

You can not negotiate with a psychopath. That is the problem.

You can not negotiate with a psychopath. Ronald Reagan said, the Government is the problem. The line of thinking pushed by corporatism to justify getting rid of regulations. Why? To make it easier to pillage the commons and the economy, and or abuse the workers.

The psychopath will Attack others for what they are doing. Projecting attack onto others for what you are doing.

Ronald Reagan and George Bush committed treason before being elected, in the perpetration of the Iran Contra Affair.

Richard Nixon committed Treason before he was elected, by interfering with the Viet Nam peace deal that had been set up and negotiated by the Johnson administration.

Al Gore in 1999 failed to call out and name clearly the election as stolen. Call out and name clearly, and then stop the Brooks Brothers Riots, which was planed and organized by Roger Stone, to stop the counting of the ballots. Then the election was stolen by the so called conservative part of the Supreme Court and handed to George Bush Jr on a silver platter. That was just a psychopathic political party testing the waters for stealing future elections. This was setting the stage for future election theft on a grand scale, and to further the cover-up of election theft on a massive scale by Republicans and their operatives.

George W and gang would go on to start wars under false premises, and promote war crimes and human rights violations on a massive scale

Trump was saying the elections were rigged before he was the nominee for the Republicans in 2016.

2016 election was stolen?

No one ever investigated the narrow margins that Trump was elected by in the 2016 general election. Nor the many irregularities and massive voter dis enfranchisement of the 2016 election.

He did loose the popular vote by several millions, and only win by a few thousands in the electoral states that put him in the White House.

Trump was behind those that organized and planed the January 6^th attack of the capital in DC. Like a mob boss he suggested criminal activity without actually saying “Pull the trigger”.

Then after the Impeachment trials in the Senate Mitch McConnell comes out and says, Trump was responsible for the attack, after he voted for acquittal? Do you believe in good and evil? You are looking at it. McConnell is also a sociopath, just a more refined type of sociopath than Donald.

Shrinks, that is a psychologist will tell you that you can’t be a shrink until you have lent five bucks to a psychopath. The Republican party lent the party to Trump hoping to get a rich payback. They will never get it back, he is a thief and a murder. He has not admitted remorse for January sixth in DC; and never showed any remorse for the hundreds of thousands of people that have died from the Covid-19 disasters on his watch.

As Professor Noam Chomsky said. The most dangerous organization in the world is the Republican Party

And then the other day after the Impeachment trial is over Donald Makes another MAGA Statement, and saying that the election was stolen? #LyingDonald #THISMUSTEND #TrumpTraitor #EndTheRepublicanparty

On the issues of; Water and Power. The Biden Plan for climate.

 

On the issues of; Water and Power. The Biden Plan for climate.

Now more than ever it is clear that it is time for a continent wide water project. Droughts and floods are now an every month occurrence. A massive water and electricity project big enough to prevent floods or minimize their impact, big enough to move massive water to the west in times of drought, or to the east when needed for agriculture or industry. Integrated with Mini or Micro Hydro or larger to make Electricity to pump water to areas where it is dry.

As yet I have not seen anything in the Biden Plan to deal with the many situations that come from water and climate change. Both drought and floods are becoming much worse.

Water has become a bigger problem consistently over the last few decades. With the advent of climate change getting so much worse lately, the problems have started to increase exponentially. It is definitely looking like we have passed some serious tipping points in the feedback loops of global warming.

The development of a continent wide water and power generation system will be of great importance and indispensable, if we are going to remove enough carbon from the biosphere before it is to late.

There is no better place to store carbon than in the soil. The continued uses of industrial agriculture will only aggravate the problems. It has removed hundreds of billions of tonnes of carbon from the soils that were in stable forms, including fungus, plants, insects, and animals in an interconnected web of life that is of benefit to all. It purified the water and helped prevent flooding and erosion.

The chemical mono-culture systems of agribusiness are killing all of us. Our children now have more cancer and other medical maladies related to the production of food in the manner of warfare. Spraying billions of tonnes of Biocides continent and world wide.

We must create large constructed wetlands to purify water of agro-chemical  and industrial chemicals before it returns to the oceans

What is necessary in this situation to start with?

A starting proposal.

Water is dense energy and can accomplish multiple tasks, and remedy several situations; at the same time with the proper, planning and infrastructure.

• Produce Energy; to move water, goods and people.

• Remove carbon from the air, and store it back in the soil, with the help of plants.
  

• Help prevent flooding and large scale damage to infrastructure, and peoples lives.

• Store water in the ground and refill water tables.

• Produce food, fodder and raw materials for the climate and infrastructure projects.

• Clean water of toxins and contaminants as it goes through the systems.

Just as a consideration from some simple systems analyses. We can see that the cost of replacing all the damage done by recent weather disasters, it is worth investing in some long term strategy that will have multiple uses in preventing damages, and at the same time having benefits in the battle to stop much worse disasters from the ongoing global warming.

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.
