Puppet Masters
Introduction In this complex web of global politics, this idea that the world leaders are actually puppets moving to unseen forces is not some sort of conspiracy theory but fact. The story details real examples of leaders whose agendas are really controlled by party apparatchiks, corporate interests, and special lobby groups, explaining how endemic the corruption is and just how hard making independent decisions really is.

What is Maga Mike the Johnson Protecting?
Do you ever feel like you can live for a long long time without hearing about another politician or preacher, or brother-in-law, or anyone at all, saying one thing while they are simultaneously doing something else? I’m going to point at our intrepid Speaker of the House for some of the most ignorant behavior, as the kind explanation or some of the most blatant hypocrisy that ever there was as the let’s-call-it-like-it-is explanation.

Why Isn’t the Far Right Free to Accept Yes?
Reality is something to be dealt with. I know. Astounding, huh? Isn’t that just plain old common sense? I had always heard that reality happens in life and we’re all carried along in the direction the flow reality follows. We can adjust our perceptions to accommodate abrupt changes of direction which reality throws our way. However, that change of direction seems to be out of reach of a fair percentage of the American public. That segment of the population seems to be incapable of ever taking on new ideas or adjusting current ideas to better fit the reality we find ourselves in.

A Bold Nonpartisan Election Proposal
The current presidential campaign is not serving the people's interest when the cognitive ability of a single candidate is the most popular topic of the election. We have stopped discussing the salient issues that will impact the future of the 330 million people who inhabit a place we call the United States of America. As Candide expressed in the novel by Voltaire, “le meilleur des mondes possibles,” translated as “in the best of all possible worlds,” the American people deserve to know what each party would do to make their lives better or worse if they are elected!

Observations On Labour's Victory. Top Story - July 2024.
Introduction In the UK on election day we finally saw the decimation of a party that has destroyed the infrastructure of this country, used the taxpayer to line its pockets, continually attacked and bullied the sick, the poor, and ethnic nationalities, promoted xenophobia, and hopefully, the Labour Party can start to repair the absolute mess left by the right-wing incompetent criminals also know as the conservatives (with the accent on CON) and the tories.

The Call to Action: Why the World Has to Stand by Ukraine
At the very core of Eastern Europe, a struggle rages that transcends across borders and ideologies. Ukraine is an independent country with an aspiration to be democratic, severely under attack and harrowing intimidation from its formidable neighbor, Russia. This conflict does not concern municipal disputes or political differences; rather, it is a frontline struggle for freedom, sovereignty, and global stability. With the world as witness, the stakes are quite plain: if we allow Ukraine to fall, Russia's ambitions will not end there. It will have far-reaching repercussions, threatening the peace and security of the entire world.

I think I may have to vote
I wasn't upset when they told me that I couldn't vote anymore. I didn't want to go through the red tape to reinstate my voting privilege. I figured there's no way to ever vote for the right person, and I don't trust the voting system anyway. I've had my opinions about my country, the structure, principles, constitution, legislation, and history. I've been watching things change since the Reagan administration. I could recap all the follies of every Presidency I've endured since 1971. But I won't waste your time with my skewed historical summary. Instead, I will just say that of the three "taboos" (sex, religion, and politics) Americans seem quite satisfied taking on religion and politics, but they are still the most hush hush and hypocritical when it comes to sex.
