7:40 Al thinks he is being funny but it is actually exactly how the Russian disinformation tactic known as “The Firehose Of Falsehood” actually works. Truth just dilutes the effect of the tactic. If people actually see some bits of truth it takes away from the completely false reality and the idea there is noContinue reading “ONLY LIES”

We Know What They Are Saying
7:00– Coded language. She nailed it. “Underlying all this is the party has been afraid for decades that it is essentially going to be cast as the black party-.” Teaching the young is really the ultimate power base…and why they went after Socrates. The right seems to eternally play the vengeful Plato in this overContinue reading “We Know What They Are Saying”
Green New Deal Space Solar
Sadly, the only possible way to provide a western standard of living to 8 billion people is to build the power stations carbon free on the Moon and then place them in Earth orbit to beam down the energy to run civilization. If the space shuttle had been designed to continue to send payloads toContinue reading “Green New Deal Space Solar”
11 Percent vs 30 Percent
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/nov/01/republicans-violence-save-us-poll If 11 percent of democrats and 30 percent of republicans say violence will be necessary to “save our country”, let’s take a guess at what that means. The U.S. male population between the ages of 25 and 64 numbers 84.85 million. We can add outliers or subtract those not likely to fight and comeContinue reading “11 Percent vs 30 Percent”
The War to Come
An American civil war between the right and the left looks likely at this point. I state this because of my experience with my coworkers who represent a snapshot of millions of white undereducated blue collar Americans. These millions who have been dumbed down in their Trumpist bubble to the extent that a future coupContinue reading “The War to Come”
It was not 1984, it was 1983
5:51 “I think language is very important. White power refers to a revolutionary movement that seeks to threaten the American people and to threaten the nation. White nationalism is a little bit different and includes many of the policies sought by the Trump administration. White Supremacy is bigger than both of those things; it includesContinue reading “It was not 1984, it was 1983”
The Fascist Invasion
It is not the brown people from elsewhere that are “invading.” It is the Neo-Nazi’s and the “The New Lost Cause” is the wagon they are climbing onto. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/10/donald-trumps-new-lost-cause-centers-january-6/620407/ I keep trying to come up with ways to explain to my brainwashed acquaintances the reality of Neoliberalism. When I tell them the reason billionaires areContinue reading “The Fascist Invasion”
Hatred will not save us
We are so close to reversing aging, yet nobody will say a word about it. So close to saving our species from extinction. As each of us ends so ends humankind. If the conspiracy theorists and Neoliberals do not send us careening into oblivion.
Everything Traces Back To Taxes
We had a political system with the few rich people wanting more and paying for that and the many poor people wanting more and not being able to pay and a tug of war between the two. It is easy to see who has now won and the chaos the rich have used to winContinue reading “Everything Traces Back To Taxes”
DINO
Everything….EVERTHING political, traces back to the one percent trying to not pay taxes. They will do anything to distract, disrupt, and influence, and in fact invest vast sums to preserve astronomical wealth. They do this despite all the harm attached because they worship money as the god of this world. Human lives are not aContinue reading “DINO”
