Reality

 

 

 

A lot of us know about the poor and poverty. The elite of society readily scapegoats the poor in trying to advance a sick society. The system of oppression and inequality has been advanced by a select few not everyone in the government even. Racial, gender, and class oppression have been a scourge inside of Western society and other lands in the globe. Not even the concessions that we received from the 1960's have fully ended discrimination and racism from our society. Many of our educational system lack sfunds, which causes some students to lack the tools to receive a fair, just educational experience. I am brought to the realization that education like health care is a human right. These are necessary, cogent functions of any truly free civilization. Our situation has been caused by many things like the deindustrialization of the economy from the mid 1970's. The victims of oppression are not to be blamed for their own oppression at all. We need to careful too. Some of the respectable bourgeois middle class make it a pastime to not only distance themselves rom the poor (but blame the poor collectively for their own oppression). The enemy loves to bash the poor, but they try to justify capitalistic excess as found in the corruption of society. In other words, some of the upper middle class, not the just the rich, want to separate from the poor. They later turn their back on the social devastation of the poor. Extremists like David Horowitz refuse to know that the evil neoliberal economic system has harmed society. Now, we live in a new era of class oppression. That means that we should use our talents, our intellect, and our strength to battle poverty and class discrimination. The enemy may use a left face or a right face, but the results of evil are still the same. One example is that Bush Jr. made huge destructive errors in our nation from his response to the disaster of Hurricane Katrina to the Iraq War. Yet, Bill Clinton also threw thousands of poor off welfare into homelessness. He also caused an unprecedented numbers of black youth into prison. The Republicans and Democrats even refuse to have a living wage for all American workers. They love the status quo. That is why a revolutionary solution is needed to end the evil conditions that plague the ghettoes of the world and other communities. There is a social solution to these issues beyond just individual. If we want solutions, then we must address the social conditions that harm us and that means we should fight racial and class oppression. The concessions made in society were allowed by the ruling class in the West as a means to prevent a comprehensive revolution in American society. We must continue to wage an unconditional war on poverty. The harm done to the social safety net has nothing to do with individual responsibility run amok. It has to do with evil bureaucrats wanting to end the genuine rights that our ancestors fought for in this country. If we want change, then we have to struggle and confront the powers that be.

 

We know the truth about libertarians. Some libertarians are very arrogant and refuse to even understand their errors or doctrines for that matter. They ignore the fact there is value in the collective. They are right that there is a great, overt value in individual power, but public power can be harnessed in a positive and just direction too. We know the agenda of the reactionaries for years. The reactionaries use disgruntled low level human beings as a means to continue with their actions. One such man is Adam Kokesh, who is an Iraqi war veteran. He is right on some things like the evil War on Drugs, marijuana issues, and laws like the Patriot Act. He is dead wrong to assume that the federal government can never do anything positive to enrich human lives. We see that the Civil Rights Act from the federal government did a lot of good for human rights. This fact rebuts his argument on the issue of the federal government. Now, he wants to destroy the federal government orderly as a means to have states’ rights as a means to conduct society. Adam said this by his own words. So, we know his agenda precisely and concretely. The issue with this is that human rights are superior to states’ rights and the states have used oppression against individual human beings before throughout American history. Kokesh was once jailed because of a protest that he was involved in. Kokesh is also a frantic supporter of Ron Paul. Ron Paul is very much antigovernment and pro-austerity. Ron Paul backer Peter Thiel was a Bilderberg attendee. The Bilderbergers know that tons of real Patriots are opposed to their agenda. That is why the establishment allows disinformation and controlled opposition to flourish in the world. Even the American Free Press continues to spew anti-black race baiting rhetoric in their organ and it was a descendant of the American Liberty League of the 1930's ideologically. According to Webster Tarpley, even Jim Tucker said that the American Civil War was a War on of Northern Aggression (and Tucker wanted reparations for the slave owners not for enslaved human beings. The reality is that the Confederates wrote slavery in their own Constitutions as one major justification for their secession from the Union). Many reactionaries love to hate President Abraham Lincoln since he used the federal government in various capacities. Tucker believed that the Bilderberg Group was in favor of socialism and hate free market laissez faire capitalism. The reality is that Bilderberger David Rockefeller hired the Austrian school libertarian economist Friedrich von Hayek as his personal tutor at the London School of Economics in the 1930s, and had later financed an American professorship for Ludwig von Mises, another Austro-libertarian luminary. So, the elite are in league with globalization, neo-liberal economics, and they love the Austrian School. This is evident on why David Rockefeller, Thomas Friedman, and others love neoliberalism. This is why the elite want austerity measures in Europe and the United States of America. General David Patraeus was in the 2013 Bilderberg Group as well. He was the ousted CIA Director. It is clear that the establishment is still fighting for militaristic aggression and harsh austerity worldwide not only in the States. So, it is our responsibility to fight for truth and oppose austerity efforts in the world. We also need to be fair and compassionate toward immigrants too. Many reactionaries are right to oppose unjust wars, but they are wrong to have xenophobic hatred against immigrants when a living wage including other actions can deal adequately with the immigration issue. The splitting of families and the immigration detention prisons in the USA are highly immoral. Also, we have the right to advance the interests of communities of color and reject harm to any innocent human being. Immigrants are scapegoats for this evil in society like my black people are. The reality is that laws like NAFTA allowed multinational corporations to rape the land, pillage the land, and cause low wages for workers. Mexican farmers have been harmed by this reactionary trade policy and then the problem grows in the Western Hemisphere. Folks harming indigenous human beings on stolen land have some nerve to claim to be some superior Americans indeed. The truth is apparent. The White House is not perfect, but the reactionaries are wrong to have some irrational hatred of everything that the White House executes. Even the administration is not to be blamed for everything wrong in the world. It is established that Ron Paul wants to strip union rights, refuse to raise the minimum wage, cut food stamps, end unemployment benefits, cut Social Security, cutting WIC for pregnant women including babies, etc. He refused to give money back to white supremacists that funded his Presidential campaign. So, that is his or Ron Paul's agenda. I fortunately disagree with that agenda, because I believe that altruism and compassion are superior to selfish individualism. The anarcho-capitalists are still around.

 

 

War mongering is real. Bill Clinton wants President Barack Obama to be more aggressive in the Syrian civil war since Bill Clinton is the DLC war monger extraordinaire. Now, America is funding Syrian rebels, because they accuse Assad of using chemical weapons against opposition forces. There is a picture of Bill Clinton talking with his fellow war monger John McCain. The pressure from neo conservatives and neoliberals has caused the White House to fund the rebels with military equipment. Bill Clinton issued tough words to the President as if he was the President when Bubba is not the President. Clinton said that if Obama doesn't ahead and drop bombs on Syria like Hillary advanced war crimes against the people of Libya, then he would come to regret it. It takes a special person like William, who passed evil laws that harmed the poor and human beings of color, to lecture the current President Barack Obama. So, Bill uses left wing cover as a means to advance war mongering. The Syrian people have held a referendum and even an election will not satisfy the Clintons and the Obama administration until Syria is fully destabilized (and made a colony of Western neo-imperialism). The Syrian government has been voted in by popular opinion, which is the democracy that the Western elites don't like. The elite could care less about rights in Syria, because Clinton did a number on Haiti. Haiti has experienced UN rape, exploitation, colonialism, and even other forms of harm by Western imperialism even now. Bill Clinton pretends that Afghanistan and Yugoslavia was all about a humanitarian intervention. The truth is real. The truth is that Clinton allowed NATO to create a 78 day campaign of bombing civilian infrastructure in Serbian lands. Kosovo is a notorious for having drug dealers there. NATO just murdered about 50,000 in Libya and they want to have more death as a means to advance "democracy." William Jefferson Clinton presided over the sanctions in Iraq during the 1990's that murdered thousands of innocent Iraqi men, women, and children. Madeline Albright said that death of men, women, and children via the oppressive sanctions was worth it, which is evil to say the least. This imperialism has been mapped out for years. Wesley Clark years ago said that the U.S. government had plans to invade Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, and Sudan. The Syrian peace talks have been harmed. The reason is that the U.S. backed rebels are boycotting the negotiations. This can ruin hope for real peace inside of the nation of Syria. The rebels (who are funded by the United States, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Israel) refuse to have talks since they have nothing to gain. The Syrian army has experienced victories. The West wants Syria to have regime change without real peace talks to end the civil war there. If the rebels win, Islamic extremists and theocrats will rule Syria possibly. In the meantime, many undemocratic trade agreements that benefit multinational corporations including financial institutions are coming about. There is the TPP or the Trans-Pacific Partnership. The TPP according to its critics will expand corporate lawsuits against nations for lost profits. Radical free trade has ruined national economies and industrialization for a long time. The dollar is dropping and deregulation is continuing. The neoliberal program of the World Bank and the IMF is still functioning and it is a threat among all humankind.

 

 

The truth about the economy is abundant. Reactionaries lie about the economy all of the time. They believe that raising taxes has never improved the economy when it has in the 1990's and in other times of the 20th century. Employment has been an important issue since the start of human history. The reactionaries talk about the government all of the time, but they refuse to expose the imperfections of corporate power. It is the corporate elite, not everyone in government, which funds bad trade deals and creates anti-labor policies that harm not helps the workers. Human beings will trade all of the time, but we have legitimate regulations as a means to handle trade in the world not as a means to institute anarchy (as some libertarians desire). Fair government can be local, state, and federal if it is ruled by component human beings with just oversight. Allowing human beings to starve to death via austerity measures and radical cuts in funding for services are inhumane measures. The extreme reactionaries view humans as business deals or commodities not as complex beings that exist beyond the realm of the market. The market is not God and certain boundaries are in the market as a means to advance fairness and to prevent monopolies. A government with over 300 million human beings should be reformed, but it should have a strong federal Bill of Rights since states’ rights can be oppressive as well. There is a national interest in society, which is why a nation state is necessary in a complex world. America has millions of square miles. It has tons of resources. That is why we have local, state, and federal government to handle American society. Each level of government has intrinsic value. It is just that corporate interests and the oligarchy has harmed the American people. No one is talking about a government oppressing humans in an authoritarian fashion, which is a lie some folks who love neoliberalism love to tell. Folks like me talk about a government providing the general welfare of society and preventing tyranny in the local, state, and federal level. The federal government is related to the Civil Rights Act, Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, and other legitimate policies in the USA. People like me care about society. People in rural communities have called for a national program to address jobs including poverty for a long time. Even Dr. King advocated an Economic Bill of Rights in his Poor People's campaign during the late 1960's. I will never advocate an oppressive, Orwellian government to dictate all aspects of society. I do advocate a government that is forbidden to have unjust wars, which have tax fairness, that believes in human liberty, and that believes in funding the general welfare of society. Nothing more or less. The skeptics and extremists can talk about no new taxes all they want, but we have record low taxation, we have record profits among Wall Street, and we have an expansion of economic inequality. You can solve this problem by having an end to the war on terror, a real funding of our services (by real, fair taxes, cutting unnecessary spending, having a populist currency system, and other things advocated by Ellen Brown, etc.), and executing a real fight against poverty. I care about my people all day and every day. Some folks care about a political philosophy that is loved by white supremacists (since they invented it or Austrian Economics. Menger doesn't care about us. Mises was a racist and Murray Rothbard believed in extreme views too). Well, they or the economic extremists can lecture about Marx, but communal living and economic justice have been advanced by black Africans & others centuries before Marx was born. Karl Marx was not perfect, but that doesn't mean that we should ignore issues of economic inequality though. A local government alone can never solve record poverty, millions on food stamps, and massive discrimination in America or worldwide. Only the end of white supremacy including radical solutions can do that. Real such policies of economic populism and universal health care have worked in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and throughout the Earth. GDP has grown in America when there were strong investments, progressive taxation, and other realities. The Bush era economics caused economic recession. The FED should be abolished and replaced for its corrupt actions. A localized economy can work in certain circumstances (I will admit to that), but a totally privatized economy nationwide (where public benefits are gone and all forms of labor rights are eliminated from the equation) will not work. Libertarianism is a false, archaic philosophy since it doesn't take into account the complex socioeconomic factors that deal with poverty (and it ignores the fact that public and private action can enhance society). Libertarianism omits that radical deregulation and radical privatization have harmed communities worldwide. It ignores the necessity of legitimate regulation in some instances not in every instance. I will send a message to the reactionaries: I will never shut up. I will not shut up at all. I will keep speaking the truth. The truth is that FDR, JFK, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. were right to mention the need for the poor to witness justice. Malcolm X was right to criticize the imperfections of capitalism. It is right to advance liberty and economic including social justice without shame or trepidation.

 

One of the most interesting portions of Hollywood was their history in the civil rights movement's golden era period. That period was from the early 20th century to the end of the 1970's. In that time period, times were radically changing. Human beings wanted liberty. Hollywood was slow to mention these changing times on film in the early days. There are areas of gray in this history. Many Hollywood pictures and individuals were stone cold bigots that never wanted true equality. Their movies and shows denigrate not only black Americans, but numerous other human beings of color. It was not just Birth of a Nation either. Likewise, there were numerous Hollywood actors and actresses individuals that worked to advance social activism in favor of civil rights. Some actors and actresses though were courageous enough to support the cause of civil rights. Paul Robeson was an actor who advanced liberty. He was blacklisted even by the U.S. government for his views, which he had a free speech or First Amendment right to believe in. Sidney Poitier and Harry Belafonte not only played dignified roles in Hollywood. They also advanced liberty and the cause of civil rights as well. Many actors and actresses from Ruby Dee to Ossie Davis were legitimate activists and they wanted a real, accurate portrayal of human beings from their own communities. We give Hattie McDaniel her credit, because back in her day, African Americans lacked so many acting opportunities, that Hattie McDaniel performed her roles to put food in her family's table. There is no excuse for this now of course. Robeson was one of the first major African American actors that broke away from stereotypical roles of black human beings during the early 20th century. Poitier extended that breakage. Much of America saw a more accurate image of African Americans with the efforts of Robeson and others. Sidney Poitier was from the Bahamas and there, there were black doctors, lawyers, and musicians. When he came into Miami, he faced huge discrimination and bigotry. Sidney Poitier's first wife was named Juanita. The Sister Juanita made their Pleasantville estate a meeting place for Civil rights leaders. She was a hostess to Ruby Dee, Clarence Jones, Ossie Davis, John Oliver Killings, and Malcolm X. Belafonte inspired Sidney and Sammy Davis Jr. to protest more in the Deep South. Also, during this time period, stronger movements grew from the Black Panthers, SNCC, RAM, to the NOI. Hollywood back then was in the realm of the establishment did not cross that line of advancing very radical political views in other levels until years after the 1960's. Marlon Brando, Charlton Heston, and others decades ago fought for civil rights legislation. In our time, we are still fighting for voting rights protection, an end to police brutality, an end to stop and frisk (including any form of racial profiling), environmental justice, and pure equality for all human life.
