Heh.  It might matter if they mattered.

Amen.  I am reminded of my vague recollections of one of Gandhi’s (recorded) speeches.  Something about how thousands cannot rule over millions.  In this case, its a few hundred trying to rule over 300 million – not to mention their global interests.  Yep, one way or another, they are coming down – and I believe we can all have the…[Read more]

Keep the faith man, I honestly believe Bernie is going to win 2020.  None of their dirty tricks are working – and that, more than anything else, gives me hope.  Our numbers are growing.

Don’t be surprised – in fact, expect a great deal more of this from corporate media.  As the threat of a Sanders nomination/presidency grows, so, too, will their attacks on him AND his supporters.  If they cannot discredit him, they will try to discredit us.  If they cannot poison people against him personally, they will poison people against hi…[Read more]

“I endorse both of them.”

Why?  I can understand liking some of the policies that both have/proposed – but as far as I am concerned, Warren stabbed Bernie in the back, acted without honor, respect, or anything resembling decency.  It is one thing to support a candidate based on policy alone – usually we don’t have a choice, but when t…[Read more]

Assange will almost certainly die in prison.  Maybe there, maybe here in the U.S.  On the off chance that he doesn’t, I can only imagine the kind of psychological problems he will return to anything resembling “freedom” with.  Frankly, if we needed a sign that the corrupt, global oligarchy had already won the war… this is a pretty damn big on…[Read more]

They are counting on the public being too ignorant to pick up on that.

Nine times out of ten,when they use the words “national security” they are lying their asses off.

Plenty to impeach Trump over – but, yeah, this is bull shit.

Warren’s actions make such “unity” impossible for me.  Abandoning Medicare for all cost her any chance at my vote, but lying about Bernie cost her any respect I might still have had for her.

There may in time come a worthy coalition of left wing groups, but not through “unity” with the corrupt.  The Warren campaign and CNN went out if their way t…[Read more]

My left eye just twitched while I was looking at my girlfriend – or was that a wink?  I crossed my arms over my chest when I was outside – was I feeling defensive, or was it just fucking cold?  Most movements have a wide variety of interpretations.  To even learn of a genuine “tell”, it either needs to be extremely obvious, or you have to be fa…[Read more]

There was some talk, a few years back, about a million armed righties marching on DC.  It turned out to be more like a couple dozen, if I remember correctly.  I predict similar turnout here.  If the police and various authorities know what they are doing, they will setup roadblocks and checkpoints.

While I personally support the right of an in…[Read more]

One of the most interesting potential uses of this kind of work is that it could eventually enable much better medicine.  Imagine a sort of machine/organism that could deliver specific doses to anywhere in the body, at any time.  The deliveries could be extremely precise, making things that are now all but impossible, easy.

Obviously, this kind o…[Read more]

I’d call her a liar on National television, or anywhere else.  Hey Senator Warren?  You are not just a liar, but a despicable betrayer of every principle you claim to uphold.  Gender is utterly irrelevant to me, I’m one of the idiots that voted for the (at the time, what I perceived as) lesser evil.

Never again.

Elizabeth Warren is a liar – an…[Read more]

Frankly, I think this is more of a distraction than anything else.  Anyone who buys this bull shit about Sanders is an idiot – and was never going to vote for him anyway.

He responded with class – as he always does.  If anything, Warren just hurt her own campaign.  As for CNN… they become increasingly less relevant with every passing year – pr…[Read more]

The oligarchy – the corporate entities/alliance that controls most of the worlds wealth, is not limited to America.  None of those three Nations are “our bitches” as some have put it.  Rather, their governments and institutions are bitches of that oligarchy – just like ours.  Yet, they still manage to maintain a greater level of human decency vi…[Read more]

I suspect Warren was always going to do something like this.  A really bad move, I think – it will get her the support of some of Clinton’s more fanatical voters, but lose her any hope of a majority.  I think she has badly miscalculated here.  Few people are going to buy that Bernie is any kind of misogynist.  His decades in office and strong sup…[Read more]

I don’t understand the stock market well, but I have heard (or read) a lot of economists saying that the market is in a big bubble.  Just wondering what keeps that bubble from popping.

There will be.  As food and water and everything else becomes increasingly more difficult to get… most of us have some idea of who is to blame.

Warren just lost any remaining respect I had for her.  I had already decided against her as a nominee due to her being so weak on Medicare for all.  Now though, she is using the tactics of Clinton.

Makes me sick.

Currently, we lack the necessary research and development to make colonization of other planets (or moons) feasible.  We probably have the technology, but the necessary funding is not being invested.

I suspect that the goals of current space exploration are more about corporations and governments looking for good mining locations.  Better m…[Read more]
