Americans Unready to Revolt, Despite Revolting Conditions The latest NBC/Wall Street Journal national poll results vividly show a population incredibly dissatisfied with their nation's political system. In other countries in other times such a depressing level of confidence in government would send a signal to those running the government that a major upheaval is imminent. But not here in the USA. Why?

9/11 Truth Manifesto For evidence that America's political system is a criminal conspiracy, open your mind to piles of new analyses that prove beyond doubt that the official 9/11 story is a lie. Years of a bipartisan cover-up of 9/11 lies make it much more than one horrendous past event. It endures in infamy as a symptom of a corrupt and dishonest government. The 9/11 truth movement must be a political movement to help us take back our nation.

Tea Party Terrorists Time to face reality. Tea Party Republicans in Congress are best seen for what they are: political terrorists. Forget governing. They want to overturn the government, the whole system, no matter who suffers. Less public confidence in government: Fine with them. These terrorists are revolutionaries using political violence instead of guns.

The Most Powerful People in America Now is the time for all the millions of Americans that make up the 81 percent who see the nation on the wrong track to take action, to think like patriotic revolutionaries and take the power that now only exists with their spending. The most powerful people are US, American consumers that account for over 70 percent of the economy. It is exactly now, when the economy is in the toilet, that consumers hold the maximum power.

Corruption blocks the path to killing the corruption.

Third Parties Fight for American Democracy A great democracy offers citizens sharp political choices. That's what gives political freedom meaning. With two-party control of America's political system, political options and discourse are stifled. We badly need more visible third-parties that can fully participate and reach the public with information about their platforms and candidates. And BTW, third party candidates helped the Dems win the congress.

Progressive Civil Disobedience Two forms of civil disobedience suit these times and the nature of the political and economic repressive forces that now reign supreme in America. First, Americans should NOT vote in any election for either Democraps or Republicrooks. Bipartisanship is just a ploy to make the two-party conspiracy more palatable. Second, millions of Americans should suspend their discretionary spending for critical times.

The Anti-Incumbency Movement is Dead Voting out congressional incumbents failed this year, showing the anti-incumbency movement to be a clear letdown. For some years many groups and their websites have been advocating voting out congressional incumbents as an effective means to reform government and make it work better. This year the retention rate was typical at 95.6 percent overall. Our political system is so rotten that anti-incumbent voting cannot succeed.

Seeing the truth about COVID deaths Americans need to know how the government has blocked widespread use of proven, cheap and effective early home COVID treatment and prevention. This is medical malpractice at an historic level, because over 300,000 deaths could have been prevented.

Wake Up to Vaccine Dystopia Even though we probably have entered vaccine dystopia can we still save humanity and our society? So many people have already been jabbed and for those who have died and been stricken with various health problems it is too late. But many millions have not yet been jabbed. Many have strong natural immunity from prior COVID infection. We have alternatives to vaccines... .

Foreclosure USA We the people once owned our democracy. It was foreclosed by wealthy and power elites that corrupted our "representatives" who literally sold us out. Our current new twist on Foreclosure USA: Millions of Americans have experienced, or will soon experience, foreclosure on their homes. Money and greed have ruined our country. Money and citizen re-engagement can save it.

Pandemic has caused nearly 2 million American lives Taking into account deaths from COVID infections, vaccines and collateral impacts a lot of data leads to a conclusion that nearly 2 million Americans have died thus far. Nearly all of these deaths could have been prevented with different government policies. Pandemic management thus far has been a dismal failure, with the US having more COVID infection deaths than any other country.

The Populist Paradox Populist is often being used as a slur because we have forgotten the true, positive meaning of it. America will only be restored to greatness when true populist politicians win elections. Together with distractive consumerism, corporate controlled mainstream media and dishonest politicians create a culture where populists working for we the people are unable to achieve mass popularity.

Mending Broken Hearts with Cardiac Rehab The odds are great that you or someone you care about will have a heart attack and survive it. But until I had a heart attack I was totally unaware that after surviving one there is a critically important option that far too few survivors take advantage of. It is called cardiac rehab, a medically supervised and monitored program of exercise with counseling, dietary and other features.

Honest Centrism for Populist Democracy The United States has lost its center through destructive centrifugal politics. America seems spinning out of control. It has become a non-populist, dollar-driven, elitist democracy. Centrism can be a powerful metaphor and tool for national renewal, if it is also populist. The majority of Americans have decided. A democracy with too little political competition provides too little incentive to vote.

Novel way to get ivermectin used globally A small French company is using its novel technology to supply injectable ivermectin that lasts for months; it can be a viable alternative to COVID vaccines. It could become like annual flu shots and effectively prevent COVID infection.

New NIH COVID-Treatment Guidelines Worse Than Useless NIH has issued new COVID-treatment guidelines for physicians; it is an insult to the truly informed because it promotes the use of expensive and largely poorly tested drugs rather than embracing use of safe, proven and effective cheap generics. It is government disinformation.

How to Use Russian Wealth for Restoring Ukraine Here is an original policy approach for dealing with the intentional war by Russia on Ukraine so it can gain still more land. The idea is to use all the wealth of Russia gained through sanctions for rebuilding Ukraine and the lives of the millions of Ukraine citizens once the war ends.

POLITICIZING CONSUMER POWER The most potent political power of Americans to provoke major reform is not through their votes anymore, but as consumers. That means as spenders – not just consumers of things, but also as consumers of services and borrowed money. Consumer spending must be made a political tool by which to obtain political and economic concessions – to fight the plutocracy and the economic inequality it fosters.

Healthy Political Faith Dissidents exist because placing faith in mainstream politicians is as delusional as George W. Bush believing that sending more American soldiers into the Iraq cauldron is justified. It flies in the face of reality, experience and sanity. The great paradox is that so many people still desperately place faith in politicians. There are better things to place your political faith in.

Democracy Battle in Florida If the bad guys win in Florida, all Americans lose. Circumventing corrupt state legislators with direct democracy threatens the corporatist state. Business interests want to up the percent of votes required to pass citizen ballot initiatives from the current majority requirement to a supermajority of 60 percent. If this tactic succeeds in Florida, corporate interests will work to do the same in other states.

Considering how doggedly our unrepresentative democracy stays under the grip of moneyed special interests, more direct democracy is desperately needed. ALL WILL NOT BE WELL AFTER BUSH IS GONE.

Scarce Cheap COVID Home Testing: Quick Government Action Needed The best thing the US government can do to address the pandemic is to spend billions of dollars to provide free or low cost COVID home testing kits. Every household medicine cabinet needs a supply of test kits. Testing is the way to curb transmission and loads on hospitals. Europe is doing a better job. Better to spend billions on home tests than on vaccines and expensive new pills.

That set in motion all the government actions that broke our economy and society through lock downs and other authoritarian actions.

They built in a critically important form of direct democracy that our elected MISrepresentatives in Congress have refused to implement. It is the option for states to obtain a constitutional convention to consider proposals for amendments.

Taking Democracy Seriously Voting is the heart of a healthy democracy. With our persistent low voter turnout, the heart of American democracy is barely beating. Five reforms can dramatically re-energize voting in America. They could be placed in one constitutional amendment and ratified by the states in time for the 2008 presidential election.

Field of Screams - The Real Election Winners and Losers Forget political correctness. The revolution has NOT arrived! Bush is still president. The corporate state is safe. The Upper Class has little to fear. Lobbyists will be writing different names on checks. Winning Democrats will entertain more than they will produce historic restorative reforms. Did Republicans deserve to lose? Of course! Let us not forget that a MAJORITY of Americans did NOT speak with their votes.

U.S. Corporate Mafia Fighting Chinese Efforts to Help Workers Greedy and powerful American companies not content with using economic inequality to devastate working- and middle-class Americans are now using their clout to fight efforts in China to combat economic inequality there. They want to keep wages low there so they can drive wages down here and everywhere else. Big-time American corporations are threatening to shut down their extensive Chinese operations.

Think Strategy and Tactics for a Second American Revolution Please, stop already with all the bitching, ranting and screaming about all the screwed up aspects of our current national calamity. Anyone that is ready to join a revolution already knows about all the political, economic and social crap that has brought our beloved country down. Start to focus on strategy and then on specific tactics. We must fight a war and win it with smart strategies and tactics.

Our Republic Raped and Still No Revolution! Ousting Democrats and Republicans is more justified and needed than removing the tyranny of the King of England. Our elected domestic tyranny operating as a plutocracy masquerading as a democracy has been raping our nation. Yet middle class victims seem more than willing to keep bending over and asking for more pain and insult as they fall hook, line and sinker for the lies of both Barack Obama and John McCain.

Can 2.5 Million People Be Wrong? All kinds of liberals, Democrats, progressives and independents will slide willingly right down the delusion-tube thinking that they have discovered the Truth in Obama. I say: never have so many deluded themselves about so much so quickly based on nothing more than a whole lot of slick, smiling rhetoric. Making all this so easy is that McCain hardly looks honest, smart or competent; here comes lesser-evil voting to the rescue

Painful 9/11 Truth Analyses by many experts reveal the collapse of three WTC buildings was not caused by the two airplanes exploding into the two towers. The general view is that the buildings were brought down by controlled demolition. Can Americans support a reinvestigation and rethinking of the 9/11 event? Or would they rather avoid even more pain and preserve the official account that places all blame on Al-Qaeda?

A Fat Tax For Fat Cats A few years ago a wonderful little book – Top Heavy – caused considerable angst among Republicans. A compelling case was made for the federal government attacking economic inequality by imposing a wealth tax. A well designed wealth tax will have no effect on most Americans, but it would raise a large amount of money. The next congress should make a fat tax a high priority. And progressives should get behind this idea.

In many ways this choice was far more impressive than Obama's selection of Joe Biden. the selection of Biden was a betrayal to some very important positions and claims of Obama. In contrast, except for one relatively minor position, the selection of Palin was in sync with McCain's political philosophy and positions.

But even now those on the right make it sound as if the US has already stolen their liberties. So, with all their guns why have they not rebelled and restored American democracy. Where is their patriotism? Or is the gun lobby just protecting the gun industry?

Call it getting even for too many years of uncontrolled greed that has given the nation nothing but economic injustice and inequality, and given capitalism a very bad name.

His values, opinions and worldview should be despised by most Americans. His latest attack on objective truth was the column "The Populist Myths on Income Inequality." Brooks has a knack for turning reality upside down, inside out and getting away with it. Time for the Times to stop it.

Bush in the White House, it is timely to refute lesser evil logic. The deadly decline of American democracy results in large measure from lesser evil voters electing lesser evil politicians.

Neo-progressives I can understand the considerable passion to hand Republicans a defeat this year.

Friday, September 8, 2006Neo-progressives I can understand the considerable passion to hand Republicans a defeat this year. But we have a whole lot of "neo-progressives," people who have no hesitancy in supporting mainstream Democrats in the name of defeating Republicans. What troubles me is the outright excitement and vocal support for Democrats, as if they will be the salvation for the nation.

The Grand Delusion Keith Olbermann was praised when he called the Bush presidency a criminal conspiracy. That missed the larger truth. The whole two-party political system is a criminal conspiracy hiding behind illusion induced delusion. Virtually everything that Bush correctly gets condemnation for could have been prevented or negated by Democrats, if they had had courage, conviction and commitment to maintaining the rule of law.

The Audacity of Arrogance The ruling class and the politicians that serve them exhibit horrendous hubris. Can suffering citizens rebel against the plutocratic political and economic system? Apparently the ruling class does not fear this. They should.

Corporate Shills and Apologists (Blaming Toyota Drivers) There appears to be a national campaign to blame Toyota drivers rather than the company for sudden acceleration incidents. Meanwhile, standard forensic examination or failure analysis is not being pursued.

Unintelligence in Federal Intelligence Agencies About $3 billion annually is being provided to private contractor businesses that could be avoided by hiring government employees. This is incredible Bush administration fiscal insanity. Republicans used to focus on shrinking the federal government and its spending. But then it shifted because they saw how increased federal spending could be used to increase revenues to the corporate sector.

Obama's Crotch Itch Problem Considering that Obama has made his candidacy more about himself than ideology or policy positions, it is fair to be concerned that he is too cerebral. I want a president that knows how to scratch his itch. If he cannot act on his pain, how can he act on my pain and the pain of many millions of other Americans?

God Bless Ralph Nader In many ways, the Nader candidacy is not about him becoming the best president possible, but rather in pushing any Democrat who becomes president to be a far better one by serving the public interest in the noble Nader tradition. A vote for Nader is always a vote for rebooting American democracy.

Four Integrity Tests for President Obama A great smile does not make a truth teller. A talker of change does not define a reformer. What if he is just another untrustworthy politician? What if he does not keep his promises? With these questions in mind, I have examined four areas where I find President Obama's behavior disappointing.

While countermeasures have been created to deal with the invasion of telemarketing phone calls and spam emails, we continue to be bombarded by junk mailings. The solution that the USPS is opposing is a do-not-mail list or registry that households could choose to join.

All the venom aimed at AIG and its bonus-receiving employees served more as a distraction than a viable political strategy to reform our government.

Voting as Political Narcotic Voting became a political narcotic when it stopped working to improve government and became used to legitimize a corrupt, two-party failed government. Voting lets politicians claim that they represent the sovereign people. It tells the world that our elected government has public support. Voting sends the wrong message to everyone. No matter who you vote for, voting says the political system is fair. It is not.

The Evolution of Evil Perhaps a global political apocalypse has already arrived. Evil forces and tyrannical governments have evolved. By learning from history and using new technology they have smarter tools of tyranny. The tools of real rebellion are weak. Most corrupt and legally sanctioned forms of tyranny hide in plain sight as democracies with free elections. The toughest lesson is that ALL elections are distractions.

Give them a sophisticated medical procedure designed - a colonoscopy - as an early detection measure for colon cancer. is highly unlikely that terrorists have had the good fortune to have had a colonoscopy and so we would be performing a terrific service at no cost to them.

People that I thought had correctly rejected the current corrupt two-party controlled political system have flocked to Paul. This is what I most look forward to in coming weeks and months: Enough sanity among Americans so that Paul does not win any caucus or primary and never gets close to winning the Republican nomination.

Untapped Citizen Power Just 15 percent of eligible voters went to the polls for primary elections. Fine. We cannot vote ourselves out of our current delusional democracy. We will not produce major change simply through writing and protesting. That leaves other strategies to be pursued, including de-legitimizing the current corrupt, delusional system by not voting for Democraps or Republicrooks, and turning consumer spending into political power.

Time to Write A Gingrich Wrong Few Americans have heard of the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment. In 1995 under pressure from the pompous and nefarious Newt Gingrich the small agency was de-funded. Clearly, Gingrich wanted to eliminate good science and objective thinking from policymaking and George W. Bush has carried on that mindset. Spend a few minutes looking into OTA and then tell your Senators and Representatives to restore OTA.

Research has documented that only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income in the bottom fifth of the income spectrum move to the top fifth. The rags to riches story is garbage.

Research has documented that only 6 percent of children born to parents with family income in the bottom fifth of the income spectrum move to the top fifth. The rags to riches story is garbage.

Warming Up to Heating Up Public distraction is a terrific way to understand why real problems are not solved. The people most engaged with American politics are too distracted by a host of terrible conditions to give priority to a looming super-problem. Set aside your passion or depression about the sad state of American politics to make room for a global catastrophe. Two courts will be making profoundly important decisions about carbon dioxide.

Sane Bush Hatred The Wall Street Journal gave the top half of its opinion page yesterday to a long essay by Peter Berkowitz titled "The Insanity of Bush Hatred." If anything, it deserves a gold medal for political propaganda – make that political lies.

Americans Stuck In Political Stupor There is historic political pessimism and cynicism. But something is more troubling than new data on the dire views of Americans about their elected representatives and government. It is that 72 percent of voters still believe that "voting gives people like me some say about how the government runs things." Unbelievable! Such confidence in a system that has failed them.

Why the Government Tests Few Chinese Imports Cheap Chinese products are a powerful and insidious destructive force. Free trade globalism more than violent terrorism or military attack is bringing America to its knees. The Chinese have us by our budget-deficit balls. Our government depends on China for loaning us money and for not dumping the vast hoard of over one trillion dollars it has accumulated by financing our huge deficits and selling us virtually everything.

NYU Invades Brooklyn The giant and arrogant New York University wants to acquire the much smaller Polytechnic University; it wants the land it owns in downtown Brooklyn. Only the New York State Board of Regents can stop this travesty.

Vomit Politics Following the current endless news coverage of this presidential primary season makes me sick. I have never seen and heard so much empty-minded hype and over-exaggeration of so much unimportant political crap. The sole function of the mainstream media seems to be to convince us that we actually have a competitive political system, which is a lie. Welcome to vomit politics in the world's greates

Removing A Failed President We no longer can trust Congress to impeach and remove a terrible president. The Washington Post has published an op-ed piece that proposes a constitutional amendment to allow "ouster by the people" for removing a president other than by impeachment or because of incapacity. Considering the dismal performance of George W. Bush and his administration and the difficulty in obtaining impeachment, this is a fine idea.

David Brooks Almost Said Something Smart What I first thought smart was the statement that "some would rather remain in control of a party that losses than lose control of a party that wins." But then I started thinking. What both major parties really fear is a nominee for president that would actually work to overturn the political establishment by eliminating the two-party stranglehold.

After Hillary, Voting With Conscience and Pride This general election more than most will test the courage of voters to avoid lesser-evil strategic voting that has propped up our two-party plutocracy. People with intelligence and conscience must resist peer pressure and the temptation to vote against John McCain by voting for Barack Obama. if you feel compelled to vote, then vote for Ralph Nader. He has a distinguished record of working solely in the public interest.

Next Step to 9/11 Justice Everyone thinks of terrorism and homeland security for lessons learned from 9/11. There is another opportunity. Make our government trustworthy and truthful. The 9/11 truth movement is stronger than ever, though it is generally derided by politicians and ignored by the mainstream media. It is fueled by people passionate about sensible alternative explanations to the official 9/11 story.

Washington Post Misses Opportunity If a city bus driver must serve one year in prison for killing two people, then imagine what jail time Bush criminals should receive for the many thousands murdered in Iraq because there were too few of them and because they did not have adequate body and vehicle armor, for example. Then why haven't we heard any current Democratic presidential candidate publicly reveal their intentions to pursue felony criminal charges?

Time to Boycott Voting Stop playing THEIR game. Take back control. Take back YOUR nation. Time to boycott voting. Just imagine if voter turnout was cut to 25 percent or less! Let the whole world see Americans boycotting a broken and corrupt political system. To keep voting in an unjust political system makes us willing political slaves that the rich and powerful elites exploit.

What Are We Waiting For? A huge fraction of Americans have bought into the Obama candidacy because of his polished and effective rhetoric. But Obama does not offer the changes I have been waiting for, or the ones the public needs. A great speaker does not necessarily have the courage or intent to fight for deep political reforms. The right question is not whether this African American can win the general election, it is SHOULD he be president?

Too Old and Brain-dead Imagine McCain aging as all other presidents have in office. It is a frightening prospect. Something akin to some horror movie that shows a transformation from a normal human being to some frightening alien life form. It is time for more Americans to face the truth about the two-party plutocracy that has robbed our political system and weakened our democracy: both McCain and Obama support it.

Obama versus Clinton versus Plutocracy Whenever you hear more chatter about the tight Democratic primary race take a breath. Get back in touch with your cynicism. Talk about change is for campaigns; protecting the status quo is for winners. Plutocrats know who they want and what voters can be conned into voting for. They want Hillary and Obama is needed as VP to offset her negatives.

The Real Spitzer Lessons Once you accept as normal the dishonesty of politicians you have defined our delusional democracy. Simply saying that all politicians lie and have always lied is no justification for keep believing their lies.

From Economic Apartheid to Political Revolution Do most Americans really believe that the game is not rigged by rich powerful elites to preferentially benefit them? As certain as the law of gravity, the game IS rigged, and more than ever. When will the stranglehold of the Upper Class on the political system that criminally distorts the economic system be busted? When will Lower Class consumers that drive the economy revolt?

How Bloomberg Can Become President Running as an independent, third party candidate and relying solely on his own money, Michael Bloomberg definitely can win the presidency in 2008 – if he follows my advice. With his own vast wealth and honesty he can single handily revitalize America's political system. We need a breath of fresh air after the bipartisan stink that has fouled our nation for far too long.

Thanks for Dick Cheney Dick Cheney is the leading practitioner of the ends-justify-the-means mentality, where only his vision of the desired ends counts. Serving corporate interests rather than serving the people is Cheney's brand of patriotism. Our Constitution should not allow the government to make us victims and our nation hated by so much of the world. That's what Cheney should teach us. Now, it's up to us.
