The matter at hand is about principles – – and justice. It is also about tactics.
Here is a word of advice and a strong caution: while it is understandable that Americans would be angry about our economy, this is no justification for going around and killing corporate executives, or anyone else for that matter. This only makes matters worse. We must remember that corporate executives are also victims of the prophet system. No one should be taking the law into his own hands.
—. A practical word, a strong word of caution, and a word of justice.
The language surrounding this story is indeed, terrifying, horrifying. As a former teacher, I know how such a thing can be very disturbing, too young still – developing students.
Every union, and, indeed, every citizen should be appalled at this “practice “display of force hello
Bernie Sanders hits the nail on the head when he talks about the rise of an oligarchy in the U.S.:
The election is not over says New York Times award-winning journalist, Greg Palast. Best known for his work with the London Guardian newspaper, as well as the BBC, Palast answers questions about his work investigating voter challenges. This latest technique of Jim Crow has disenfranchised hundreds of thousands of voters, overwhelmingly, black and Hispanic, reports Palast.
In my mind, what he says here is the smoking gun, even if there are other smoking guns around the country. Challenging other voters right to vote, even voters you know nothing about, has become a right wing fad, with some 43 states adopting This vote suppressing technique.

A commentator on Occupy Democrats has presented video along with explanation of famed prognosticator, Allan Lichtman, he of The Thirteen Keys. Lichtman is identifying one person as the culprit in a stolen election of 2024. I’ll let the video speak for itself. I am grateful for this channel and for this explanation; it makes ever so much sense.

The real
Stop the Steal
Decadence and Decay are Delivered
“The most important election of our lifetimes;” “The election which will decide the fate of democracy,” is now over. Or is it? At this perilous and depressing moment, I am reminding myself and others that truth will out. This I do believe.
Toward that end, the great investigative reporter, Greg Palast, is already going to work to uncover what really happened in this election. The author who brought us “The best democracy money can buy,” and other books, is already hitting the road to try to uncover the nefarious deeds of the Republican Party. How do we know there were nefarious deeds being done this year? Because this project to steal the vote from Voters has been going on for years, indeed, decades. And the Supreme Court has been very much helping.
I will let Mr. Palast explain the rest of the story. You may follow the link immediately below. In the meantime, “the truth shall set us free.” Let us keep believing and join together in solidarity.

Earlier here, I wrote about the danger of abolishing the electoral college. If anything, we should be strengthening it.
Better yet, I like the idea of strengthening the Electoral College without beginning citizen participation in the election process. I have some ideas for how this can be done, most of which I will need to put in a future post. According to the constitution except state legislature to decide how to select the electors who will vote for president. This message was put in constitution for a reason. Notice that in this system in any processes, Democratic, baseline is that the lecturer will be selected by people who sell it, been selected by the people.
The other thing which can be done, is to educate. If people knew that the founders understood that not only did the people need to be protected from the government, but the people need to be protected from each other — would likely have more of an appreciation of the fragility of democracy. There would likely be fewer hysterical people, less mud-slinging, and less fewer credible threats to our Democratic system .
With Increasingly apocalyptic language coming from our former leader, this matter has become critically important.
More to come
Quick post yes –
Recently, I saw yet again an article promoting the idea of abolishing the electoral college. While I understand the frustration of people surrounding voting, this is a terrible idea; Something I have spoken to previously.
If we are already having trouble,l deciding what the popular vote is, imagine what it would be like trying to validate the votes of all 50 states.
Our founding fathers were indeed wise. They understood that a direct vote was not the way to go. They knew that unchecked mass emotions could untether the democracy.
The safeguard they come up with was the electoral college. No the electoral cottage does not fit the 24 hour new cycle or the deadline of the next days New York Times.
However, the intent was for the state legislature to decide who were responsible men, who could cast a vote for president after thoughtful reflection.
I suggest that with the turmoil of Trump ism, if anything, the electoral college should be strengthened. However, this should not occur at the expense of citizen involvement. Let’s leave the electoral college in place and concentrate on removing money from politics. That alone when successfully implemented, will be enough.
[Draft Rush post]
The slick prevaricator from Ohio, J.D. Vance, made clear tonight that he is no Thomas Jefferson, and not even a Jack Kennedy. His refusal to answer question after question showed his true purpose better than any campaign appearance could. The man is not really interested in the country and its people, their welfare. He is more interested in pleasing the powerful, and taking a seat in the halls of the wealthy. Thus was shown his by refusing to agree that Joe Biden won the election in 2020. Vance revealed his true values: The truth is expendable when one has the chance to advance one’s career. This is the worst side of American politics.
