Stop the US!

Biden, and Pelosi have just, openly, stated the intent to cause  Russia to be

"bankrupt." This is the US plan to control the world, which would be good for noone. The rest of the

world must stop the US. The Obama admin. "wrecked" Ukraine, in this effort. Russia is in the right

to change Ukraine from a huge threat to a benign state.

 

 

7/24/2020,  Recently, on RT.com/america's lawyer,  part of the discussion, that day, was

about gentrification in US cities, and Congress's corruption with regard to the help, that

was supposed to go to small businesses. A good deal of money went to the Catholic Church,

which, absolutely, was inappropriate, and other  organizations, instead of small businesses.

I think, there is a desire, in Kansas City, to push some people out of the inner city, as is

happening in other cities.

The Council is destroying our bus system. Service to important places. stops and routes

have been eliminated. It's like they have a contempt for bus riders.

 

A few years back. the city voted to develop a light rail system. The City Council said, "NO,

NO, NO, Bus Rapid Transit is what we need", and the Council found a way around  that vote

and "Grew" the Bus Rapid Transit" system.  But, for some reason, the city is "wrecking"

our bus system.  I know, some people think they are too good to ride the bus, though, I

don't understand why.  But, this makes Kansas City, MO a shameful city.

Something, else, that won't help: A few years back, some of the Kansas City police took

training from Israeli personnel.  That, absolutely, won't help.

 

 

 

Julian Assange is being persecuted in a London prison  Chelsea Manning was

in a US prison, both for informing the public on information we needed to know.

Don't, even, try to tell me we don't have a fascist government

 

Read " The Prosecution of Julian Assange" by Nils Melzer.

 

There are things we can do to help Palestinians:

We can contribute to ANERA.org (American Near East Refugee Fund),  and MECA.com

 (Middle East Childrens' Alliance). We can buy products made and grown by Palestinians

from both sites.

We can contribute to ICAHD.org,( Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions) which Jeff Halper

started to rebuild houses bulldozed by Israel.

And while both state and federal governments are trying to make BDS campaigns on Israel

illegal, we can, always, check product labels for "country of origin, and act accordingly.

 

March 11,2022:

 

Right now, we have the results from the interference in Ukraine by the Obama administration.

US foreign policy consists of the hatred of any country having a modified capitalist or modified

communist ( both are the same, actually.) existing in peace, and the demand to have control of

oil prices and control of other countries' resources.  Most people don't object to policy, and

this situation has given me Shingles.  Here are some sources of information:  blackagendareport.com,

workers.org, telesurenglish.net, rt.com ( If it's not blocked out for you.).

You can, also, go to newstodayintheworld.com  and find Tass, Presstv, and others.

 

The regime installed by Victoria Nuland has been killing Russian speaking people in the

eastern areas as well as Russian speaking people in the western parts, and Greek people.

Kiev told people not to speak Russian and Russian would not be taught in school, anymore.

Russia managed to get an agreement signed by Kiev, the Donbass region and at least 2

other country's leaders. Even though, Kiev signed the agreement, Kiev (I think we can say the US

 is in charge) didn't honor the agreement.   Russia had to stop the killing of Russian speaking

people and the others in the "breakaway" area.  He, found upon military operations, US

biological weapons labs and the progression of installing nuclear weapons, in Ukraine.

 

People and officials all over the world don't care about this, and have condemned  Russia

for deciding to correct this situation. Russia had no choice.

 

The US has been the aggressor all around the world, without being penalized by other countries,

but Russia is under sanctions for defending Russia and Russian and Greek speaking people in Eastern

Ukraine, as a result of the US created the Nazi controlled coup military in Kiev.

The US has been using the "Jakarta Method" as it does interventions abroad: Guatemala 1954,

Brazil 1964, Jakarta 1964-1966, Chili 1973, Nicaragua 1979-1990, Granada 1983, Haiti 1994,

and under Obama: Syria , Haiti, Libya and, now, Ukraine.

 

We have the same problem, domestically. It's the "Atlanta Way."  See workers.org for more on this.

I want to cry!

 

It's so sad!  When the world should be moving to renewable energy, the US, France, Qatar,

 Saudi Arabia,  Turkey, and the UK, calling themselves the "Friends of Syria Coalition", are

willing to destroy Syria; because Assad didn't approve of the "American Trans Arabia Pipeline"

plan, that would go through Syria.  The CIA was used to cause trouble in Syria, as, before, in

Syria, Jordan, Iran, Iraq, and Egypt.  The covert operations unit established by Truman was

"unleashed" by Eisenhower to do its "dirty work"--(My words.)  Most people in the US don't

know about the dirty work of the CIA; because US big media are in "cahoots" with the CIA,

but, people overseas know, and they don't understand why we don't know these things.

And, now; because, the US government doesn't want US citizens to know, RT and Sputnic web

sites are having to register as foreign agents. That's just fine with me; because the truth is,

absolutely, a foreign idea.  Ref:  "The Preferred Plan" by Matthew Jones,  "Safe for

Democracy" by John Prados, and "Legacy of Ashes" by Tim Weiner.

 

Furthermore, our churches are complicit, also. When 2 men came to my door and asked to

pray with me, I said, "Christianity died when Jesus died. No one is trying to do what Jesus

taught."  I think, it's obvious, that politicians took over the churches, right after Jesus died,

and have been in control ever since. When a minister "christens" a nuclear weapons plant, you

know something is not right.

 

 

The Olympics of 2018:

The IOC should be known as the shameful committee.  In the past, when athletes have tested

positive for a drug, the particular athlete was punished. This year, the IOC barred Russian

athletes, who had never tested positive, and those invited to participate, were not allowed to

carry the Russian flag or wear Russian identity attire. WADA ( the World Anti-Doping Agency)

showed its vindictiveness, when it interrupted a Russian figure skater as she was in the middle

of her routine in practice, for a drug test, and the same thing happened with a female Russian

hockey player.  WADA allows 1600 micrograms of Asthma meds per day.  Why is this? 

Norway announced, that 6,000 doses of Asthma meds went to PyeongChang with their

athletes.  If lung meds are OK, heart meds, certainly, should be.  The, only, fair policy

is for no meds to be accepted.

There are some law suits in progress, as there should be, and I hope the current WADA and

IOC people are replaced.  One source: German journalist questions Norway's Olympic Success....

(Date?)

Someone has stated, what the problem is, while not seeing it as a problem, which

is that the CIA has unacceptable powers. The person said, "It's not wise to disagree

with the "intelligence community"; because, they can hurt you in so many ways." 

 Big media is OK with this situation, but, what we have in place with the NSC10/2,

(which gave the CIA paramilitary status and the ability to carry out covert actions,

with deniability as the cover.) are elements of government that are "bass ackwards". 

The "intelligence community" should be working for the President; not the other

way around. The CIA has created a story to cover up illegal activity by the CIA,

and people are swallowing it. This happens a lot.  Members of the CIA should be

held accountable for illegal activity, like anyone else.

 

12/17/16

The Demo. Party doesn't want to face the dissatisfaction with the Demo Party; so, has to find

another excuse for Hillary's loss.  Also, the Dems and the CIA want to get a cold war with

Russia in place before Trump takes office, like the CIA got Kennedy into a war on Cuba.

Craig Murray, former British ambassador, told The London Daily Mail, that he, personally,

received the Podesta emails, via an intermediary, in Washington DC,  took them back to

London and gave them to Wikileaks.    But, "big media" isn't interested in this. They print

what the government wants people to think, which is that, Russia got the emails and passed

them to Wikileaks.   The Democratic Party and the "intelligence agencies" are showing just

how corrupt they are.      And Super Delegates are illegal.

Something interesting, Terrorising, actually:   ( There's a body count.) 

Wikileaks will pay $20,000. to someone

with good information on the 7/10/16, murder of Seth Conrad Rich, 27, who was the

DNC voter expansion data director.  There are other bodies:  John Jones, 48, Britain's

top human rights lawyer, and Julian Assange's lawyer, was (pushed ?) in front of a

moving train, 8/19/16., The 6/22/16 suspicious death of John Ash, UN official set to

testify against the DNC and Hillary Clinton, Victor Thorn, author of books exposing the

Clintons, found shot on a mountain top near his home, 8/1/16, Shawn Lucas, lead attorney

in the Anti-Clinton DNC Fraud Case and Sanders supporter, found dead at his home,

8/4/16.  (See: Wikileaks Julian Assange's Lawyer Gets Hit By a Train.)   Too many bodies,

to be coinsidences.  The CIA operates with impunity, with denial as the cover. See:

The NSC10/2 legislation.

 We need to grow a third party that takes no corporate money.

 Our internet usage is being monitored and censored. Just now, Congress and Obama

have given the CIA, FBI, and the DEA ( & actually, 16 other agencies) access to

"raw data collected by the NSA.

We've been at war, illegally, for 13 (? )years. Both parties are OK with the genocide

of Palestinians. 

 Both major parties are, openly, for persecuting whistleblowers.

 

 Legislation we need to get repealed:

Military Commissions Act, The patriot Act, (not an act: militarization of police departments), 

no right to send money to Palestinians via the designation of Palestine as a foreign terrorist,

 the 2012 NDAA, the NSC 10/2, the 1918 Alien Enemies Act, The Liberty Act ( section

702 of FISA), The Magnitsky  Act, The halliburton Waiver of the Safe Drinking Water Act,

the Monroe Doctrine, and the Taft hartley Act.

 

 

 

Aug 4, 2016 ---  

 

 

 Hillary Clinton,Wall-Mart boardmember, favored bailing out Wall Street bankers,

worked to reduce wages in Haiti, Libya intervention, approved the thug ((military trained

at the U.S. School of the Americas))coup of the democratic government in Honduras

and the deportation of Honduran political refugees)

 

Hillary's TV ad criticizes Trump for outsourcing.  It was Bill Clinton's programs that promoted outsourcing of jobs.

 

 

Democrats, we need a new party:

 

I've told the Democratic Party, " You aren't "democratic."  The "Superdelegates"  are one

example for my assertion.  Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National

Committee, stated to CNN, Feb, 2016:

"Unpledged delegates exist, really, to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't

have to be in a position where they are running against grass-roots activists."  So, there we

have it!   Super Delegates are illegal.

.

The "superdelegates" are all "Democratic" members of Congress, "Democratic" governors,

members of the Democratic National Committee, all former Democratic Presidents, all

former Democratic Vice- Presidents, all former Democratic leaders of the U. S. Senate,

all Democratic Speakers of the House of Representatives, all Democratic Minority Leaders,

and all former chairs of the Democratic National Committee. Then there are about 81 total

"add-on unpledged delegates chosen by the state parties.

so-called "Free Trade."   Those deals are all bad for ordinary people, everywhere.

RE: Ukraine:

 

The EU ( most likely influenced by the US)  delivered an ultimatum to Ukraine: 

 "Make a trade agreement with the EU or Russia; not both."  The EU is acting like

a "school yard" spoiled brat. People, please, send a multitude of emails, demanding

some sense of adult responsibility.   I sent one, expressing my astonishment that the

EU would rather have people being killed, rather than having Ukraine have agreements

with Russia as well as the EU. Also, the EU has "OK'd" GMO corn to be allowed into

the EU.  Those countries opposed had better break away from the EU, before they

are, totally, destroyed. Clearly, the EU is being controlled by US corporations.  GMO's

are bad,bad, bad!  They are like NAFTA:  toxic!

 

BDS on Israel, Egypt, and the US until Egypt opens its border to Gaza, Israel allows

the open sea to  Gaza,  Israel stops demolitions in Palestine, and Israel recognizes

Palestinian rights.

Boycott Amazon.com, the company that company has been awarded the "World's

Worst Boss" award by the International Trade Union Confederation.  "The warehouses

are dehumanizing hives...shockingly big--more than 16 football fields big, or eight city

blocks--pickers must constantly crisscross the expanse. Then, there are miles of sever-foot-

high shelves running along the three-story buildings, requiring the swarm of pickers to stoop

down, crawl along, or stretch way up continuously. They are directed by handheld computers

to each target. ...Then they scan the pick and must put it on the right track of seven miles

of conveyor belts running through the facility, immediately after which they're dispatched

by the computer to find the next product.....The pickers' computers don't just dictate where

they're to go next, but, how many seconds Amazon's time-motion experts have calculated it

should take them to get there. The scanners also record the time

each worker actually takes---information that is fed directly into a central, all-knowing

computer. The times of every picker are reviewed and scored by managers who have an

unmerciful mandate to fire those exceeding their allotted seconds.

Mac McClelland, a fine investigative reporter...took a job as a picker in an Amazon-

contracted warehouse...McClelland was reminded again and again by ever-present time

monitors it is not 30 minutes and 1 second, but 29 min. and 59 seconds.....if you are not

back at your next picking spot on the dot, you earn penalty points. Never mind that the

half-hour lunch period,...includes the time to get through the metal detector and use the

disgustingly overcrowded bathroom.....and stand in line to clock out and back in. Should

you desire...a warm meal, there's another line to use the microwave. Likewise the two

15 min. breaks....include scampering a half mile or more to the break room, waiting in

line to pass through the despised metal detector and anotherline if you need to pee. The...

break is usually reduced to under 7 min....managers bark "Zoom, Zoom! pick it up!

picker's pace guys!  Amazon warns new initiates that there are 500 visible cameras....and

500 hidden cameras. Amazon warehouse employees are "contingent" hires: temporary,

seasonal, part-time laborers entirely subject to the employers' whim....When sales perk up

and managers demand you do a 12- hour shift with no notice...you must do it or be fired..

....(no holidays guaranteed.)  ...no health insurance, no vacation time, no scheduled raises,

no promotion track, no route to a full time or permanent job, no regular schedule, no job

protection and --of course--no union. Bezos ...has gone all out with intimidation tactics,

hiring a notorious union-busting firm to crush any whisper of worker organizing."

People's religious obligations with regard to birth control, should stop with what they

want for their own bodies; not to the decisions others may make.  The world is, grossly,

over-populated; so, it makes no sense to deprive people of birth control.  In fact, it is

cruel. Sex has been proven to be healthful for couples, and it makes people who love

each other, feel closer, emotionally. There is nothing in the Bible that says sex is only for

procreation.                                           

            

          

Some quotes I just had to put here from hightowerlowdown.org:

"The people have the power, the power to dream, to rule, to wrestle the world from fools."

---Patti Smith

"A corporation is not a person until Texas executes one."

"Can I marry one? Is General Electric single?  - Questions in letters to the New York Times.

 

 

I'm wondering if we will need to fight a religious civil war. It seems, that too many people are trying to force

their religious beliefs on the rest of us. They claim to be against abortions for any reason; because it is killing

babies. Why is it, that they aren't upset about illegal wars, with all of the killing, maiming and deforming of

babies that occurs from the use of depleted uranium weapons?  I have to conclude, that it is, really, about

controlling women; because, if these people, really, cared about killing, we wouldn't have these wars.

Aug. 4, 2016  Chelsea is being mistreated. Actually,  since Obama dictated the verdict in her case,

he tampered with any possible judge and any possible jury; thereby, eliminating any possibility of

a fair trial. Thus, her case should be dismissed.  We have a fascist system, now.

land taken, illegally, from native Palestinians and Bedouins and given to

This appears to be a plot to trigger a warring atmosphere, to provide a reason for

the Israeli government to take even more land.  (More on Palestine below.)

 Can we stop the madness?

From PeaceWorks KC, May 2010 news letter - Nuclear fuel reprocessing =

weapons proliferation:   ( This is so important, that I'm putting the whole article on here.)

 

'In nuclear power plants, the highly radioactive fuel rods are removed from the reactor

after about five years of fissioning and are replaced with fresh rods. Reprocessing involves

physically chopping up the irradiated rods and then dissolving them in acid to extract plutonium

and uranium. Separate plutonium can be used to make nuclear weapons. Commercial

reprocessing currently takes place in five countries -- France, India, Japan, Russia and the

United Kingdom.

No permanent waste repository exists on the planet for the disposal of fuel rods. Irradiated rods

are, therefore, being stored at every reactor site. They remain vulnerable to terrorists and

accidental releases, and they increase the radiation exposure of workers. The U.S. nuclear

industry is promoting reprocessing  as its latest illusion of a solution to the high- level radioactive

waste problem.

A fraction of the separated plutonium from reprocessing is intended for use in new reactor fuel.

When used, though, the new fuel would then itself generate more plutonium, possibly releasing

harmful particles and rays for at least 240,000 years.

Because  the solid irradiated rods are transformed into high-level radioactive liquids and sludges,

reprocessing increases, rather than decreases, the volume of homeless radioactive waste. Waste

byproducts cannot be reused; they have to be abandoned on-site or dumped elsewhere. For

example, French uranium wastes, left over from reprocessing, have been shipped to Siberia for

indefinite storage.

Both Presidents, Ford and Carter, banned commercial reprocessing in the U.S.; because they

feared that the technology's spread would be used for the worldwide proliferation of nuclear weapons.

In addition to the use of extracted plutonium in nuclear weapons, the left-over reprocessing wastes

can be used to turn an ordinary bomb into a dirty bomb, that is designed to disperse radioactivity.

President Reagan overturned the reprocessing ban, but the exorbitant cost of building and operating

such plants has kept reprocessing from being revived in the U.S., since 1972.

Radioactive wastes are released directly into the environment during the routine operation of

reprocessing plants. The British Sellafield plant has dumped its waste liquids, laced with a total of

over 1,000 pounds of plutonium into the Irish Sea.  The French La Haque plant discharges tens of

millions of gallons of liquid radioactive waste into the English Channel every year.

Reprocessing plants, large enough to handle current U.S. irradiated fuel inventories, would cost an

estimated $40- $60 billion each to build, and at least $3 billion each year to operate. Taxpayers

and/or electric ratepayers would, almost certainly, bear those added burdens, not the nuclear power

industry.

Because of the 2010 cancellation of the proposed geologic disposal facility for irradiated fuel rods at

Yucca Mountain, Nevada nuclear power promoters are, again, advocating reprocessing.

The U.S. nuclear industry, the national nuclear labs, and the French government's atomic giant, Areva,

successfully lobbied the George W. Bush administration, in 2006, to launch the Global Nuclear Energy

Partnership, designed to revive reprocessing and expand nuclear power worldwide.

Although, President Obama has cancelled GNEP's environmental review, funding for reprocessing is

continuing within the Energy Department's "Fuel Cycle Research and Development" program.'

 

If you care about this planet, call your legislators and ask for the cessation of reprocessing of

irradiate rods. While you are at it, ask for the end of nuclear processing, period!  There is no

 solution for nuclear waste. The world has gone mad. Can we stop this?

 

( Workers, who have worked next to the Kansas City nuclear parts plant, have been getting sick and dying,

for years, and in spite of reports, it is just now being studied by the government, after NBCAction news

started reporting on the sickness and deaths. The government has approved of the building of a new

such plant in a near-by town. Why don't we stop "majoring" in war?????) 

See http://www.peaceworkskc.org .

 

Re.  The Kansas City Plant: ( From Henry Stoever, chair of the PeaceWorks board, and Jane Stoever's

letter.)

"For about three years, members of PeaceWorks, Kansas City, and the KC Chapter of Physicians for

Social Responsibilty (PW/PSR-KC) have actively opposed the Kansas City Plant, operated by

Honeywell for the National Nuclear Security Administration. The plant, part of the Bannister Federal

Complex, makes non-nuclear parts for nuclear warheads, such as the W-76 and W-88 (delivered by

Trident II submarine-launched ballistic missiles), the W-78 and W87 ( delivered by Minuteman III

intercontinental ballistic missiles), and the B-61 gravity bomb ( delivered by B-2 bombers).

Activists in PW/PSR-KC are confronting the local nuke factory. We testified repeatedly to the City

Council and, on Feb. 4, watched it approve the new NNSA campus at Botts Road and MO Hwy. 150.

Through the plan, Kansas City gives the new plant a $45 million tax cut and commits up to $10 million

for local infrastructure, such as highway expansion.* Private financing for the new plant, estimated to cost

$1.2 billion over a span of 20 years, will keep it hidden from federal budget reports citizens can track.

This situation baffles and appalls us. City and federal funding for nukes escalates, while people in our city

and our world go hungry and homeless."

 

From: Peaceworks, September 2010:

Here is how the transaction goes:     "GSA will sublease the plant from the private developer, CerterPoint

Zimmer(CPZ), a limited liability corporation formed by Chicago-based Centerpoint and Kansas City-based

Zimmer Real Estate Services. CPZ has a 20- year lease-to-purchase deal from the current owners, the

Planned Industrial Expansion Authority (PIEA), the agency of the City of Kansas City (MO), that is subsidizing

the whole project through the sale of about $700 million in municipal bonds. Strangely enough, the PIEA

bought the 186-acre field last month, (July, 2010) for more than $5 million from CPZ, which just "happened" to

own the land NNSA chose for its new production plant. The PIEA retains title to the property."

(This means that Kansas City, Missouri will own a federal nuclear bomb production plant.)  The NNSA,

 The National Nuclear Security Administration, will sublease it from the GSA.

these agreements. All previous agreements need to be changed; because:

 

   "  The   WTO is a reason why the mortgage meltdown in the U.S. fatally

contaminated the entire financial industry here and abroad. .......

 

      The  WTO prevents the U.S. from limiting the size of foreign banks

  and other financial firms, even if we set such limits on domestic firms. ....

 

..... The WTO means that the U.S. taxpayers may have to bail out foreign

banks, too. ........

 

....The WTO obligates the U.S. to a 'standstill provision' which prevents

us from undoing many of our crazy deregulation policies with respect

to a vast array of banking, insurance, securities and other financial

services we submitted to WTO jurisdiction. ........

 

The WTO forbids the use of  Buy American or Buy Local programs. This

undercuts the effectiveness of the stimulus bill -- the $20 billion for

data-entry workers to put medical records into electronic format likely

will go offshore rather than employing workers here and thus recycling

through our economy. ......     resulting agreements provide special

incentives and protections for U.S. firms that offshore investments and jobs

which are inappropriate police intelligence operations, that target  political ,

religious, and social activists, such as anti-war protest groups. These

centers are supported by private corporations, have military participation,

use of data mining, and excessive secrecy surrounding them. ( See Peaceworks,

Kansas City, April 2009 and ACLU. )

 

Re: mental health in the military, ask for sex education for men in the

military; so as to stop the routine raping of women in the night, when they

have to go to the latrine. Masturbation in not evil !!!!! Rape is !!!! Women

are literally dying of thirst, as they are afraid to drink water after 3 PM.

Re: health care, investigate Taiwan's  health care system. " The new system

had two major goals: to equalize access for all citizens and to control total health

spending.  ........The country devoted seven years to redesigning its health

system and followed the dictum of thinking globally while acting locally.

Taiwanese policy-makers and health care experts examined the health care

systems of more than 10 countries, including Medicare in the United  States,

choosing those structures and practices that best furthered their objectives.

....it has been able to secure strong political support, with 80% of the

Taiwanese population expressing satisfaction with their national health care."

 (See Public Citizen's Health Letter, Jan 2009, VOL 25, No 1. pg. 1. )

 

France appears to be happy with their system.

Puerto Rico, first, ( Like Public School was tried in one state, first.) and let

the country see how it works.  As Dr. Ortega says, there are areas left for

private insurers; because there are many options that Single Payer

would find not necessary procedures.

Re Cuba:   Repeal the 1996 Helms-Burton Act and normalize relations with Cuba.

( Not with an unfair "free trade" agreement, however, like the US forced

on Haiti, ruining the ability of the people of Haiti to grow their own fruits

and vegetables for a living. Please, don't try to do that in Cuba !   It is what

US Ag giants and food corporations want.  They are talking about it, and

I'm afraid for Cuba, given Obama's voting for "Free Trade", while in

the Senate. And we don't have good Democrats in charge-- Pelosi & Reid.)

".....Congress put in $700 billion last year (fall 2008),  Obama wants to add

another $750 billion this year.  ....little- publicized commitments include

$5.4 trillion in direct federal investments ( buying the companies' stocks),

$2.3 trillion loaned to the banks, and $2.1 trillion to insure the debts and

guarantee the "toxic" (i.e., worthless) assets of the financial firms. The

total as of March 18: $9.9 trillion.   ......

.......economist, George Akerlof coauthored an academic paper......given

...title: "Looting.".....The authors analyzed some of the financial disasters

of the 1980's, concluding that capitalists profiteers had taken ridiculous

risks because they knew that when their overreaching finally created a bust,

the government would step in to socialize the losses.  Akerlof predicted that

the next source of financial looting would come from an obscure Wall

Street  scheme that was just getting started: credit derivatives. ........Ultimately

based on nothing but a fiction ( in particular, the assertion that housing values

only go up), the derivatives bubble burst...and so has our economy. "   -----

Part of any profits generated by the entities with public money, should be

put into Social Security and Medicare, until all of the public money is paid

back.

 

The people, who helped to cause the problem are not likely to fix it. Obama's

campaign received $17 million from Wall Street and $980,945. from Goldman Sachs.

He has put people in charge, who caused the problem. Those people

should have been fired, and ridiculous CEO pay should stop.

"John McCain said he wants to drill for oil in South Dakota. ---------There is

no known oil there--, and he has flip-flopped and is now in favor of off shore

drilling; because some oil executives say it would be a good thing.  ( Off shore

drilling reduces the height of the adjoining land.).....( Drilling in the Artic

would be, totally, irresponsible.)

 

Oil companies, already, have leases on 68 million acres ( 2/3 of federal land,

believed to have recoverable oil), and they are just sitting on it. They have leases on

80% of recoverable offshore oil and are drilling, only, 1/4 of that.  ........

 

The oil companies want more leases, anyway.   It is so they can control

pricing!!!!! .......

 

The oil companies can sell to the highest bidder. They are not

going to drill for our benefit. They are not going to help us

with our need for foreign oil.  ......

 

Also, a 1997 US agreement with China allows China to

bid on new leases on the US Continental Shelf."

Sherrod Brown voted for the Military Commissions Act, which suspends our right to

defend  ourselves in a court of law.

 

Claire McCaskill voted for a more invasive eavesdropping bill.

 

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are not concerned by all of the ways that George Bush has

violated the US Constitution.

 

Conservatives are controlling both parties,  but young people have time to gain control. Jesus

followers didn't give up. I've decided, that a  viable third party is not possible with the "death grip

the Democratic base has on controlling ballot access; so change has to come from within.

 

Many Democrats are voting like progressives most of the time, but take turns

 voting for bad legislation when it is "their turn", to make sure that it gets passed

or to prevent good legislation from passing, they will take "their turn", voting

against it.  They are fooling most of their constituents, as they just toy with us.    

 

Dennis Kucinich was the only Presidential  candidate, until he had to drop out to    

 campaign for  his Congressional House seat , who

 has shown, by his legislative record and his proposed legislation and programs, that

he would  lead this country in the best direction for the US and the world.

 

I' ve learned that a "write-in candidate" has to participate in the process by signing

 a special form, and we have to get delegates in place, just like balloted candidates;

 so this would be only the thing to do when the particular candidate was not running

to keep his seat in Congress.

I wanted to do a protest vote in 2004, but that was not possible.

http://www.wikileaks.ch   -- News  --Julian Assange  ( Adrian Lamo was a tattle-tale  --

said he thought some one might get killed because of the tape. Well, guess what! Innocent

people had been killed.( Apparently, if you aren't in the US military, you aren't someone.)

( Oh! and even if in the US military, if you are a woman, you aren't a person either, are you?-

you know the rapes.)

 That was the point in getting the information out, Adrian,you twit!

You have no sense of morality!  People in Iraq and Afghanistan know about US atrocities,

 whether people in the US know or not. They are there, and they know about US policy.)

See, also, http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glen_greenwald/2011/04/20/manning.

US citizens have a right to know how tax money is spent. We have a right to know how our

military personnel are trained. We have a right to know how our state department behaves.

IT IS OUR TAX MONEY !!!!!!    And we have a right to way-in on wheather we enter

into war, and those, who are for it, should go fight it, with their own money; because wars

are fought to please corporations.
