Brian Lynch is a retired social worker who worked in the areas of adult mental health and child protection for many years. His work brought him into direct contact with all the major social issues of the day and many of our basic social institutions such as law enforcement, schools, hospitals, welfare agencies and private social service providers on both a local and state levels. This was a privileged vantage point for him to observe every level of human ecology, from the lives of individuals to the operations of government institutions. He was struck by the impact of state and federal policies on the lives of ordinary people, for better or worse. Political conflict and the clash of ideologies has real, observable and sometimes devastating consequences. He now writes and blogs on topics that relate to his social observations.

Creepy Netflix Discovery Highlights What's Wrong with Social Media Today The artificial segmentation of the population is happening everywhere, across all social media platforms. Into how many different AI generated segments are we being corralled? To what extent is our narrowing worldview being remolded and reinforced by computer systems designed to maximize profits at the expense of our shared humanity. How long before we don't recognize a unifying American culture anymore?

On September 19th Donald Trump Declared Himself Our Dictator "The President asserts an extraordinary claim... He contends that" under the United States Constitution... while in office [he] enjoys absolute immunity from criminal process of any kind." - Judge Victor Marrero. By logical extension, if no violation of the law can apply to him while in office, then no election can unseat him and no Congress can remove him by impeachment.

Propaganda in the Digital Age - Mind Control on a Massive Scale During the presidential election a new generation of military-grade propaganda techniques, the most powerful ever developed, was unleashed in America. The internet and our personal digital profiles were "weaponized" against us and we didn't even know it. It's called Cognitive Warfare, and we are all potential victims.

Wage History and The Case for A Living Wage Hourly wages stopped rising with hourly GDP in the mid 1970's. The damaging impact of this wage suppression on today's economy is huge and a living wage law would be the best solution.

Living Wages Should Be Our Minimum Demand Raising the minimum wage is not enough to solve our economic problems. Almost half of working households require some form of government subsidy to maintain their financial stability. Every conservative argument against raising the minimum wage is just a smoke screen for the real culprit behind unemployment and our sluggish economy, Wage Suppression!!!

Darwin, Religion, and the Rise of a Secular World Darwin's theory of evolution spawned a natural and secular view of creation that has challenged the power of religion to control social change. It has also allowed business to slip its moral bonds, leading to runaway capitalism. Much of today's headlines can be put into perspective by understanding the dynamics of these underlying forces.

How Public Schools Came to Be and the Fight to Dismantle Them Publicly funded local schools are universally accepted. Abandoning them would be almost unthinkable. Yet the interests aligned against public school are chipping away at them. These are the same interest groups that opposed public schools from the start. The lost history of that battle is still instructive today.

Shadow Banking a Growing Threat to Global Financial Stability Billionaires, oligarchs, and their self-dealing minions are gowing a shadow-banking network that is fully or partially outside national boundaries. These "Other Financial Institutions" now account for close to a third of all the world's financial wealth. It is socially malignant accumulation wealth with no direct productive value. Its capital growth cannot be taxed for the benefit of any global society.

Front Lines in the Cyber-War Against America If Republicans in Congress seem dismissive of claims that Russia attacked our elections it may be because Americans on the far right have a starkly different world view created by right-wing media organizations. They believe we are under attack and democracy is at risk, but the enemy is in the Middle East and in our own government.

Micro-targeting: How Personal Data Stolen From Facebook Helped Elect Trump Micro-targeting is a military grade propaganda weapon. Imagine if you had psychosocial profiles on every adult and could: 1) accurately predict an individuals behavior, 2) identify any individual whose actions you want to sway, 3) Immerse each of them in a custom media universe designed to alter voting behaviors w/o their being aware of the manipulation. Did this happen in the 2016 election? Will it happen again in 2020?

Poverty rates have been rising since as has the obesity problem. New data link the cost of nutritional food and U.S. food policy with obesity and the poor.

Coup d'e'tat - The Revolution Has Been Televised for Years The Republican Party has been replaced by a subversive cohort of politicians hostile to a pluralistic, democratic Republic in which they must share power with others who don't look, think, or worship like them. The bedrock of democracy is the consent of the minority to accept majority rule in exchange for personal liberty and protection under the law. This social contract is breaking down in America.

Capital Investment Income Drives Income Inequality A recient study shows that capital income is now the biggest contributor to rising income inequality. The poorest 40% of Americans essentially own almost nothing while the top 20% own 85% of everything. As a result, favorable tax policies for capital gains income has a highly disproportional benefit for the wealthiest Americans. Capital income for this wealthy segment is what drives rising income inequality today.

We can choose the Trump path to social dissolution and toss as many "others" off the life boat where we find ourselves, we can ignore that we've be put in the lifeboat because of the wealthy corporate capitalists (until we sink), or we can link arms to forge a new path that restores democracy and a civil economy for everyone. The only real option is to come together.

A look at the data over the last 70 years reveals that this decoupling was rapid, happening of less than a decade, and persistent, ruling out all but a premeditated effort to change the structure of worker compensation.

Understanding Intelligence - Essential for a Rational World We can't really know ourselves without an understanding of how our brain operates. The new theory on intelligence, regarding how our cerebral cortex functions, has important implications for understanding how we think. The subconscious organization that takes place in our brain frees our conscious mind to focus on what's most important, but it also leaves us especially vulnerable to media manipulation.

The Falsely Convicted Spend Years In Jail Before Exonerations, And They Are the Lucky Ones. "Exoneration," is a legal concept that a defendant who was convicted of a crime was later relieved of all legal consequences of that conviction through a decision by a prosecutor, a governor or a court, after new evidence of his or her innocence was discovered. As you will see in this report, the number of exonerations in the United States is not a good measure of how often our justice system produces false convictions.

In many states the graduation rates for African-American and Native-American students fell 10 to 20 points below White students. But the most disturbing graduation gaps occur among children with disabilities and children for whom English is their second language.

Bernie/Biden Clash On Social Security Masks Real Differences The dust storm over whether Bernie Sanders distorted Joe Biden's past support on Social Security only masks the real differences between them. Biden always supports the middle class. Bernie Sanders, for his entire career, wants to bring hope and lift the structural economic burdens of every American family living within or below the middle-class.

America's Social Contract and the Measure of Our Commitment The attitudes we have toward paying taxes, and the extent to which people and organizations will go to avoid paying them, is an underappreciated index of our consent to be governed. The inability of the federal government to collect taxes from the nation's elite and its biggest corporations is a serious sign of trouble. It signals a real strain in our social contract.

The Village We Left Behind This is what we are up against. Giant international corporations battling each other beyond the reach of sovereign countries to create a world more suitable for their financial conquests. And what we have already lost is cultural self-determination.

Buying Back the U.S. Senate The U.S. Senate race in 2014 is on track to become the most expensive in history. Much of the funding comes from big, often anonymous donors. The effect of special interest election funding is that the interests of ordinary people aren't well served, but from a per person perspective, it wouldn't cost that much to buy back our representatives and win back our Republic.

What Good Can We Salvage From The Trayvon Martin Case? In the aftermath of the Zimmerman verdict we see a society badly divided and in need of reconciliation. The contrasts are great while the opportunities for reconciling our opposing views of justice and society are narrow. We need to salvage whatever good we can from this moment and look to the future for real change

Water, Detroit and the Essentials of Life Detroit is a mess. 4,000 poor and low-wage residents are being cut off from water per day because they can't afford to pay. The state isn't helping them so civic groups appealed to the U.N.for help. Water is a human right. This article compares Detroit's municipal water system with Seattle's, and finds Detroit could do much better. Water prices are rising everywhere and this will soon be the utility everyone talks about.

"Free Market" Social Services Fail to Deliver Social service networks today are not based on matching service availability and capacity to the needs of local communities. They are loosely coordinated networks created by free market forces and competition between private or non-profit agencies scrambling for dollars, and this approach isn't working.

This has given rise to an investment economy that is little more than a billionaire run casino.

The Real IRS Scandal As happens often in today's politically charged atmosphere, the partisan conflagration set off by the revelations is sucking all the oxygen out of the room, leaving no one to explore why these practices developed in the first place. The "scandal" is a media-induced distraction from much more serious problems under the surface. This article asks questions that really do need answers.

Black Families, Structural Racism and a Decision to Raise Social Problems to a Public Issue - Part 1 In June of 1965, on the eve of the Civil Rights Act, an unknown civil servant drafted a report on his assessment that structural white racism was destroying black families and the impact of this was underestimated by the federal government. His name was Daniel Patrick Moynihan and his ideas promoted then-President Johnson to express them in a speech. But the message got turned upside down and an opportunity was lost.

Texas, Where Greenhouse Gas is King The US Energy Information Administration reports shows how much carbon dioxide is being released in each of the states and DC. Over a ten year period one state, Texas, has been responsible for 12% of all US CO2 admissions. Targeting Texas, California and a few other states in the effort to reduce emissions might be a good strategy for more rapid results.

Primary Drug Abuse Prevention - An Unappreciated Necessity Primary prevention is all the things we can do to forestall or eliminate exposure to addictive substances. It is our best hope for solving America's drug problems. But primary prevention is under appreciated and under-funded, especially when a community comes to realize there is a crisis. Once the problem become an epidemic, attention usually focuses on law-enforcement interdiction of drugs and treatment, not prevention.
