masquerading as a "Democratic Socialist"?
Is the Green New Deal a watermelon - Green on the outside & Red on the inside?



It's unlikely in the extreme that 'Crats will brutally raise and address such questions during their upcoming Primary Race, but they should. They MUST!

Why?
If they fail to raise & address such questions in their Primaries and run Bern For Prez - they can be damned Certain the questions will be raised FOR 'em in the General Election

Some of The Don's early campaign ads suggest 'Publicans anticipate running against The Bern & are framing the Prez campaign as a Capitalism vs Socialism/Communism clash of Worldviews.

... is the logical favorite of the victim-oppressor crowd of Dems. The explanation? AOC and her marginally educated ilk form the vanguard of this political mindless set. Bernie's government handout pandering to the typical loser class is unprecedented in US politics. They eat it up, having failed to be competitive on their own in life, so why not put faith in the pied piper of the cradle to grave nanny state instead? So of all the initial two dozen candidates, it's no surprise that these pathetic failures in life gravitate toward Sanders. Not exactly what the founding FATHERS and those intrepid MinuteMEN on Concord Green had in mind. From those who work, to those who won't. Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao. Can't make this stuff up folks.

...specifically, lovely and peaceful Newark.... Or, "the poor will always be with us". Give away program, mostly to the poor, designed by liberal city staffer, who is no longer in the job. Some 100 inner city abandoned lots, given away by town dictators for life, based on lottery, for a thousand bucks each. Over time, very few were built on by the winners. Issues included building permits, financing, non payment, probably scummy agents, and so on. Sometimes it's luck, but more often, the poor remain so for clear reasons. Said to be another 2,000 such abandoned lots available. Our best President, Republican Uncle Abe, had a quip on this sort of thing, concerning the poor, the rich, and taxation. First one to guess, gets an all expense paid fantasy date with BRAVO.

The more a person lies, the more we lose trust in them.
That's understandable. Afterall, they are likely to lie again.
People can't trust what they have to say.

One president has lied far more than any other.
Over 16,000 lies or misleading statements confirmed in just his first 3 years as president.
That's astonishing, despicable, and unprecedented !
And the worst part, is that each year of his presidency, he tells even more lies.
Although already the worst, somehow he manages to annually get worse.

From the Washington Post;


Lying has become his general way of communicating and oddly, it appears he has no shame in doing so. He has proven over 16,000 times, that he is untrustworthy.
Or as Jimmy Kimmel previously referred to him, as "the great misleader" ;

I came to say something about Karl Marx that got a friend of mine turn hostile. He is Trumpeter, believe in capitalism and hates anything that smell of socialism and communism. I suppose I have had leaning toward the right, but ...

Marx did study capitalism, but had nothing to do with communism most seems to think of it. Some of his thoughts was used by Lenin, Stalin, and others after he was dead and gone. A word of that first. Imagine a society that was based upon slavery and serfdom. Your body, your work, your children, was all the property of someone else. Then it is easier to understand what fueled the communist revolution.

One key aspect of Marx, was the evolution of a new class of owners, the capitalist, brought forward by the industrial revolution. Serfs working in factories. We have many examples of this today as well. ( example, correctional institution has become industries ) Marx proposed that people themselves should "own the means of production". It is easy to see why the "red scare" is the mortal enemy of capitalism. Imagine the scare of plantation owners if slaves should be free men ?

Instead of the industrial revolution, we experience an information revolution. Today, free men may be put back in chains. Facial recognition and surveillance, enslave people - you cannot buy goods at the store, not use transportation, have no means of income, except what some people decide you deserve based on a “social credit system” that will rate your human value, your freedom, your economic conditions. We will have 5G, mass surveillance, banking system, transportation, - it is already very much in place. We may soon see a toll system installed in your car for payment of road tax, insurance and maybe where you are allowed to go. Your personal data has become a commodity for large corporations.

So, what would "ownership of the production system" mean today ? Are we entering a new form of serfdom ?

I spend many enjoyable hours on this site and grew fond of lots of people on here. Only a few of my favorite people are still here. The rest are replaced by Trump infected sick people. The Trump virus was contained for a short while....giving us hope....and then it flared up again. When I saw the virus got to Harbal as well I lost all hope.

Time for me to take a long break or maybe find somewhere else. Even Facebook, that I found extremely boring most of the time, is at this stage a better option. I'll maybe come back again one day..as myself...as I'm too lazy to create a new profile. Untill then.... farewell and thanks for the all the fish.

At the beginning of 1943 the Derbyshire village of Derwent stood abandoned by all but one remaining inhabitant. By the autumn of that year the village would be demolished, and waiting to be swallowed up by the rising waters that would inevitably follow the completion of the new dam, further down the valley.

Dalkin Barleythwaite had lived all of his seventy-three years in Derwent village, and he had no intention of living out his remaining time anywhere else. He stubbornly refused to be moved. One crisp, March morning, Dalkin was spotted by a fellow villager, striding out across the moor with his spaniel, Raif. The next time Dalkin was seen, he was lying lifeless at the foot of the steep crag that bounds one side of the natural rocky feature known as Alport Castles, a couple of miles North West of the village. One hundred feet above him, on the edge of the crag, a forlorn dog broke the morning stillness with echoing howls of anguish. The coroner’s verdict was “accidental death”, but Dalkin had been wandering that landscape since he could first walk, and no one who knew him believed for a moment that he went over the edge of those rocks by accident.

Ladybower reservoir has since become a very popular tourist destination, and, in the summer, the area is alive with walkers, cyclists and picnickers. Most visitors are unaware of the story of the village’s last occupant, but he is a familiar character to some of the keener enthusiasts for the outdoors. The hills and dales surrounding the Derwent valley can be bleak and inhospitable in winter, and only the more dedicated hiker is to be seen there during that part of the year. Those who do venture out onto that harsh landscape on a frosty morning, when a thin mist hangs over the valley and an eerie silence haunts the air, are apt to become aware of an extra presence among their number.

John Lampfoot, from the nearby village of Bamford, knows the area like the back of his hand; he also seems to have a sixth sense. He has an uncanny knack of knowing just where and when Dalkin will appear. From mid-December to the end of March, John takes small groups of walkers up onto the moor, where they will follow the path that Dolkin took on his last journey to Alport Castles. At some point along the way, John signals the travelers to stop, and there they will stand and wait. How he knows where to stop is a mystery even to John, but he is never wrong. The wait can be long or short, but, in time, a mist will start to form close to the ground and slowly rise upwards, then out of it will trudge Dalkin, looking purposeful and grim. On John’s signal the party will resume their trek, alongside their extra member. They carry on right up to the crag; coming to a stop just a few feet from the edge; except for Dalkin, of course.

So, a man follows an underage waitress into the bathroom, exposes himself and sexually gropes her AT HIS WEDDING RECEPTION and no, it wasn't the bride.

Well, you can't say, that he didn't make the night memorable.

From FOX news (and checked with other more reliable news sources too)



Quite a catch for the bride.
One can only imagine when his next cheating adventure will happen.
And no, the bride's name is not Melania.

:shock

Honesty is the most important thing, in your life and through history. It is a difficult topic, because dishonesty is so easy, so tempting and so successful. We are in a disadvantage because we have to hold a man innocent until proven guilty. In order to tackle that, we have a court-system, else we end in chaos and anarchy.

We are dependent on other people from birth to grave, and thus all our relations depend on this trust. In the complex world of today, we have to safeguard every aspects of life from dishonest people. People have mixed poison in baby-foods that have been sold, to toxic toys, medicine, and you name it. If our judges takes bribes from dishonest men, our safety and system collapses.

Let me use an example. A doctor got an idea to fame and fortune, using a 3D printer to replace the windpipe of patients. They died.
How could this happen ? Well, he did what too many industries do, falsify documents and credentials, falsify publications and marketing campaigns and lobbying. The only safeguard we have is to make sure that honorable men actively fight against falsehood, distortions, corruption, and that we hold on to truths.

At one time, with hard earned money, evangelist on TV were running a campaign for starving children in a disaster and I gave away money. They enriched themselves, and just a small portion of the donation was used for the children. You may call me naive, but I did trust that national known men that speak the lord's word, would at least be honorable men. I do have some more stories with them, so I cannot help being skeptical when people say - In God we trust/God bless/so help me God. The recent Trump’s evangelical rally, displayed a pretty bizarre performance taking into consideration what he have stated elsewhere. I have recently become aware of something called the Lincoln project, so I guess I am not alone raising question.

Then we learn what White House adviser Stephen Miller has been doing, and again you are left with the question - what can you trust ?
It was also revealing to listen to what Vice President Pence told on Fox and friends, in which he clearly twisted the truths. And the recent letter from Commanding General William Seely regarding pulling out of Iraq, which then later is said to be a mistake, it was only a draft. You cannot trust the Defense Department. So, who should we trust ?

This administration is a constant chaos, it is unable to keep up with the lies and impulses of the President. It is dishonest and not trustworthy - and this daily show is watched all around the world. Do they trust United States ? There are full debates in nations across the world, regarding how to respond to this. Take all the NATO countries that has to somehow explain what is going on, who can they trust.

Mike Pence and Donald Trump said that the early warning system, and their intelligence apparatus - everyone was fine during the Iranian missile attack. Well, unlike the United States, Iran gave the information of where and when they would attack. Somewhat remarkable ?
Other countries had their troops take cover, not by word from the leading country, but from Iran ? I sure would like to know how this played out, but - who and what should we trust ?

And the media, what newspaper or broadcast station can you trust ?

In my entire life, I have turned away from people that in words and actions have shown that they cannot be trusted, they cheat, they lie. It has been paramount for my own safety. It is the most important thing in all relations - honesty.
