July 31, 2019 (Revised, Expanded FB post) DEMS BATTLE IN DETROIT, AN UNDECLARED WAR ON McCONNELL Last night Pete Buttigieg stood with a resolve, looking straight into the lens, delivering a challenge to members of a Republican Party that surrenders to a lawless President. Mayor Pete gave warning. At the “sunset of their careers” the individual  legacy to be written will focus upon a lack of courage, fear and a failure to uphold the rule of law and the twisted view and adherence to a false narrative of Christian values they espouse. With that Mayor Pete  harnessed the attention of Republicans and their base. And then a diminutive MARIANNE WILLIAMSON with courageous resolve awoke everyone with her gut wrenching punch to her counterparts of a “truth” that a “dark underbelly, a psychic force” of   institutional racism, the command and control of corporate America.   In essence , she gave warning that multi-mega corporations continue to und...

Revised April 9, 2017 HISTORIANS WILL MARK 2017 AS BIRTH Of A MOVEMENT As AMERICA ENTERS A NEW REVOLUTION: "ERA OF MORAL POPULISM" THE FACES LEADING AN ERA OF MORAL POPULISM From: Michael Phelan, Social Security Works Subject: The biggest Social Security expansion bill yet* To: garygrz4@gmail.com Every day I sort and purge a deluge of email as the one I cite above. It seems at least a dozen emanate from various websites and organizations united, standing up for what is both admirable causes and truth in government. One of which is SocialSecurityWorks.org that is worthy of your attention if not your direct support. The fight at the front is within Congress. They find that there is the unseen agenda of a dominant Republican Congress with an end goal to dismantle your Social Security under stealth of the Trump White House. The majority of the pleas to sign a petition in support sent via email are what can be consider...

A PRIMER FOR A NEW GENERATION AND THE COMING POLITICAL REVOLUTION  Note: A follow-up to: THE PROPHECY OF BOB DYLAN - "A HARD RAIN'S A-GONNA FALL" - AND IT IS TORRENTIAL - Updated As I reflected upon Dylan's lyrics some 60 years ago and my own images and words came to mind. From the age of thirteen the music and lyrics of Bob Dylan created an awakening within me of enormous impact. The tumultuous events of the 1960s affected the lives of everyone beginning with the threat of nuclear catastrophe. What followed was a movement among citizens to more closely scrutinize the world around them. The Kennedy assassination shocked a nation, his successor Lyndon B. Johnson continued the legacy with passage of Civil Rights, Voting Rights, Medicare and many programs as part of The Great Society. President Johnson's domestic achievements were monumental as not seen since FDR's New Deal. However, under his administration the War in Vietnam escalated to the degre...

Comcast  IS a Monopoly & Holds America Hostage - from my blog June 6 JUNE 29, 2016  ELIZABETH WARREN Blasts Comcast, Calls For Stronger Anti-Trust Enforcement June 6, 2016, I posted a blog detailing the facts as to how Comcast is a monopoly and should meet the same fate of the "banks too big to fail." In a piece posted on Daily Kos, my view is shared by many and on June 29, Senator Elizabeth Warren pointed to the same monopoly.  Senator Warren as quoted by Daily Kos. "Last year was Comcast's best year in nearly a decade," the Massachusetts Democrat said in prepared remarks for a speech. "But while big telecom giants have been consuming each other, consumers have been left out in the cold—facing little or no choice in service providers and paying through the nose for cable and internet service." Warren's speech at a forum on monopolies came as part of her advocacy for greater enforcement of antitrust laws as American consumer...

THE IRONY OF BETRAYAL: NAFTA INVITED CORPORATE PIRACY OF MICHIGAN and OTHER STATES FRESH WATER SUPPLY   Nestle Exploits Fresh Water in California, Michigan denying US citizens. But, under NAFTA exports to South America at HUGE Profits     The Urgency of Fresh Water and NAFTA in this Election In those States yet to go to the polls, voters should keep in mind another byproduct of the NAFTA disaster heartily supported by Hillary Clinton. California must weigh her approval in light of a three year drought.  When Bernie Sanders  began his Presidential campaign he drew a clear and direct connection to a  Hillary Clinton approval and support of NAFTA, TPP  (Trans Pacific Partnership with China) and other mutually beneficial agreements. Bernie should have condemned her! Early on, Republican Presidential and Democratic Party Debates focused upon the devastatin...
