Sunday, September 19, 2010Constitutional Traitors The tide may be turning; in recent days three new publications support using the Article V convention option in the Constitution. Why? It has far more promise than elections to generate the true reforms to fix our broken government. See whether you are a constitutional hypocrite or traitor.
Thursday, June 21, 2007Are Americans Unready to Boil? Sometimes the greed and arrogance of Ruling Classes makes them careless and social waters heat too quickly. Sensing doom, alert citizen-frogs escape or revolt. Or they stay complacent and boil. In colonial America the greedy British motivated our Revolutionary War, but with oppression now coming from within, will Americans wait too long?
Friday, May 15, 2009Constitutional Rubbish Americans need a civics lesson. And so do politicians. Of all the wrong and delusional thinking about the US Constitution the one that is most thoroughly incorrect and routinely used for political propaganda purposes is that there are three coequal branches of the federal government.
Wednesday, January 25, 2012Cruise Ship Vacation Wisdom When contemplating a cruise ship vacation there is one key factor to consider, especially in light of the recent Costa Concordia ship disaster in Italian waters.
Tuesday, August 10, 2010Rachel Maddow Misses Journalistic Opportunity Unlike a normal high level of scholarship and insight, Rachel Maddow ridiculed those seeking constitutional amendments through the normal process. But she missed a big opportunity to inform the public about the unused constitutional option of an Article V convention that Congress has shunned because it is the way to truly reform our government.
Sunday, May 23, 2010Oily Obama: Lousy Response to BP Oil Invasion BP deserves all the anger and disgust Americans are giving it, but it is also necessary and appropriate to condemn President Obama for his lackluster leadership on this catastrophe. He has utterly failed to mobilize countless federal resources to assist or replace the ineffective actions by BP.
Wednesday, December 15, 2010Hacktivism for Cyber Democracy The WikiLeaks controversy sheds light on the use of hacktivism to not merely defend WikiLeaks, but more importantly to serve as cyber tool to protect and defend democracy.
Friday, August 11, 2006President Kinky Friedman's Performance From a 2010 Perspective An assessment of Kinky Friedman's presidency, as seen in 2010. The nation has undergone remarkable change - for the better.
Sunday, January 16, 2022Novel 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.
Tuesday, January 18, 2022New 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.
Sunday, March 27, 2022How 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.
Monday, September 18, 2006POLITICIZING 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.
Friday, September 3, 2010Why Americans Elect Awful Presidents The quality of recent US presidents leaves much to be desired. Why do Americans keep electing such rotten presidents? Even worse, why do they keep reelecting them?
Friday, October 4, 2013How Stupid Are Limbaugh Listeners? Legal action against Limbaugh is called for; he has no right to use public airways to intentionally misinform Americans as a tactic to accomplish far right political objectives.
Tuesday, January 30, 2007Healthy 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.
Monday, October 16, 2006Democracy 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.
Friday, March 11, 2022Rapid home COVID tests unreliable The public needs to know about new UK research that showed rapid home COVID antigen tests are quite unreliable. Regular use to get negative results is foolish; false negatives are very likely. Billions of dollars have been wasted.
Monday, February 14, 2022How the Corrupt Power of Fauci and Federal Health Agencies Could Have Been Stopped Joel S. Hirschhorn Blame Congress for Now it is clear that Fauci and federal health agencies have had too much power it is clear that Congress lacked the science power to curb Executive agencies. There is a solution: Bring back the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment. With it we would have had a much smarter pandemic management, truly bases on the best science.
Wednesday, February 7, 2007Delusion Destroys Democracy The delusional Bush has survived because delusion runs rampant across the nation. When a political system no longer deserves trust, citizens must trust themselves. 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. AS AWFUL AS BUSH IS, HE IS A SYMPTOM OF WHAT AILS OUR NATION.
