No Laws Were Broken…..

No laws have been broken but our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic has been occupied by capitalists. What’s up with that?

Their marginalization today by corporate Democrats and Trump Republicans is itself profoundly unAmerican. — -end of laprogressive info — -

They wanted female suffrage, direct election of Senators, referendum and recall. But in 1896 the Populists were sabotaged by wimp Democrat William Jennings Bryan, who begged their support, then back-stabbed them in a presidential election he lost (of course) to the corporate Republican, William McKinley. — — end of laprogressives info — —

Bernie Viral Video Creator: What the media misses about Sen. Sanders

No laws broken, but the practice of meritocracy surely seems implicated in dazzling wealth and success of kids of politicians.

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2019/10/13/hunter-biden-steps-down-from-chinese-private-equity-board-promises-no-foreign-work-if-dad-joe-elected-in-2020/23835988/---The younger Biden also laid out ground rules for his career moves if his father is elected, including keeping the former VP “personally uninvolved in his business affairs.” — -end of aol info — -

Privilege as governmental policy isn’t a sound principle, even when “no laws have been broken”.

Big-money interests and corporate control own governmental policy, due to the illegitimate Supreme Court ruling called Citizens United that legalized corruption in our electoral process — — -https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-10-11/coal-industry-pushed-state-regulators-to-lobby-for-power-rescue----A series of letters from state energy regulators asking the Trump administration to act on coal plant closures was orchestrated by a coal lobbying group, emails show, raising questions about the independence of the public service commissioners.

Utility commissioners in six states pressed the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to act on an inquiry into whether coal plant retirements are threatening the electric grid. The state officials sent letters to FERC at the request of the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity, according to the emails and Jon McKinney, a consultant for the coal group working on the effort. — end of bloomberg info — -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKjaogdw5fQ&t=104s

NYS anti-fracking advocates are only too aware of the rubberstamp FERC, that seems to be a branch of corporate process in its actions. NYS and specifically ground zero of the anti-fracking actions over the last decade, is the site of law enforcement warnings toward public-safety advocates that they could be labeled as domestic terrorists for using the phrase “bomb truck” in referring to explosive contents on trucks on our common roadways.

The topic of privilege over safety pertaining to commercial incursion into local neighborhoods is crucial, timely, and relevant.

Rural people in general are treated with incomprehensible disrespect by the Capitalist Party D&R — --https://portside.org/2019-10-13/land-reform-and-green-new-deal----Today’s challenges are strikingly similar. Climate change poses an even greater existential threat to human life than unchecked soil erosion did in the era of the Dust Bowl. In both moments, unchecked corporate power over land and other resources — whether the railroad monopolies of the early twentieth century or the fossil fuel industry today — is a root cause of the problem. — -end of portside info — -

https://portside.org/2019-10-13/how-housing-wealth-transferred-families-corporations----But more than 12 million single-family homes are currently being rented in the United States. Those homes, valued at more than $2.3 trillion, make up 35 percent of all rental housing around the country. In the past, the great majority of single-family homes that were rented out were done so by their owners or small real-estate companies. But today, a large and growing share of single-family rental homes are owned and managed by large corporations, real-estate firms, and financial institutions. The percentage of home owners is at its lowest level since the 1960s. — -end of portside info —

*The illegitimate Supreme Court decision called Citizens United permits big-money interests to buy politicians who are beholden to enact legislation that may be favorable to big-money interests rather than for We The People

*Real estate projects may be a prime example

*Limited Partnerships are investments sold to wealthy individuals

*This transfers investment cash to developers for their project, with time horizons of normally 10 years

*A return may or may not occur to the investor, because the investor is a silent partner

*As a silent partner, any losses from the project can pass through to the investor

*Many wealthy investors use this vehicle because each year, a percentage dependent on income tax returns are deductible which deduction may amount to more than an expected investment ROR in a more traditional investment vehicle

*The impact of reduced taxes due to these deductions are often multiplied across an income tax return

A thoughtful person may consider this tax strategy to be legislated specifically to transfer cash to real estate developers for projects that may add to gentrification projects in a neighborhood. Tax deduction for investors are an encouragement to so invest, but also has the overall effect of transferring taxes from the public sector, which could be used to pay down our national debt, and removes such tax payments for use for public projects, and transfers this money specifically to private sector wealth creation.

Another layer of this tax legislation that specifically seems to transfer national wealth out of the tax base and into the pockets of land developers is that the excuse used by municipalities for supporting the ensuing gentrification of neighborhoods by such projects that local bureaucrats encourage because it will expand their tax base. A serious discussion and transparency would investigate the wisdom of moving money out of the general income tax base into the pockets of land developers, which income tax money could have been used to upgrade and support long-established local communities in the first place.

This is only one example of capitalism that is called “good for the economy”. But a closer look tells a different story. Meritocracy will justify this as projects put forth by the worthiest people among us, but corrupt campaign contribution legislation may have resulted in unfair laws for the public that in effect legislates who will be the meritocracy while undermining the economy that belongs to the 100% in their many facets, to give cash to the 1% privileged meritocracy…..AKA networking.

This happy-horsefeathers system is called capitalism. Both Democrats and Republicans have given us this system of capitalism that they have superimposed over principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic, in the 1-Party Capitalistic Party D&R system. The joke is on us.

8:56AM — paraphrase — -guest — -speaks to the return of Crimea to Russia.

No reason exists for Americans to have an in depth knowledge about Russian history, but that so many speak with authority against Russia shouldn’t continue from positions of ignorance or convenient lack of interest — --https://www.britannica.com/place/khanate-of-Crimea

https://www.britannica.com/place/Mongol-empire https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Crimea

Eastern Europeans were enslaved by Khans often from Crimea. The imperialist tendencies of Western Europe during the 1400’s — 1700’s also included wars that included Russia. Ire of Russian response toward enslavement of its population ended in annexation of Crimea to Russia. Those who disregard the history of enslavement as an encouragement by Russia to annex Crimea, seem quite self-serving. Self-preoccupation with atrocity blinds to the reality of others.

As “Western values” are an excuse for US involvement in Ukraine, (the euphemism of “spreading democracy” rather than imperialism) that surely must be recognized as the capitalism that has been superimposed over American democratic (small d) Constitutional republicanism (small r), could be recognized by nations with histories that seem beyond the interest or comprehension of said capitalists, as a reason for suspicion by Ukraine. Eastern Ukrainians seemed to respond negatively to the “Westernization” that was welcomed by capitalist-leaning Western Ukrainians. This is of course over-simplification by one who isn’t personally effected; but no more uninformed than many of the state-run/corporate-owned mainstream media wonks who pretend to report facts. Do some research to develop your own view of this timely current event. It’s usually never black and white.

Colonialism and imperialism is an atrocity that seems to continue — — -https://www.laprogressive.com/congo-forgotten-war/?utm_source=LA+Progressive+NEW&utm_campaign=c7cd7e1295-LAP_News_4_15_April_17_PC4_15_2017_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_61288e16ef-c7cd7e1295-286972237&mc_cid=c7cd7e1295&mc_eid=e213faa886----With at least $24 trillion in gold, diamonds, tin, coltan, copper, cobalt, and other natural resources beneath the ground, it’s often assumed that Congo’s violence is intimately connected with the desire to control its mineral wealth. — -end of laprogressives info — -

The nations change but not the motivation. Follow the money. To be anti-capitalism doesn’t mean being pro-Russian. Consider the association between US capitalists and Russian capitalists.

To link socialism to communism to Russia is a slight-of-hand to capture simplicity, which our world surely isn’t — -https://www.laprogressive.com/communism-or-freedom/?utm_source=LA+Progressive+NEW&utm_campaign=c7cd7e1295-LAP_News_4_15_April_17_PC4_15_2017_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_61288e16ef-c7cd7e1295286972237&mc_cid=c7cd7e1295&mc_eid=e213faa886-----If communism means what Sessions and the other reactionary Republicans say it means, most Americans must be communists, for they define freedom in some way other than as a synonym for free enterprise. — — — -end of laprogressive info —

We would do best to support principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic that isn’t about any of socialism, communism, or capitalism.

C-Span — -9:00AM — Guest — -paraphrase — -Biden interfering in Ukraine to protect his son is wrong perspective.

Anyone interested in governance of, by and for The People in America’s democratic (small d) Constitutional republic will have questions about the imperialism by our government over recent decades, advertised as the progress of globalism, but in reality a seeming throw-back to the 1400’s — 1700’s, and with an end game of capitalistic profiteering. That this behavior is legal is attributable to the illegitimate Supreme Court decision called Citizens United that legalized corruption in elections with the result of a government currently “run like a business”, and enriching politicians inordinately, when they should consider their Oath of Office to the US Constitution and public service to We The People.

These are a few reasons many people support Bernie Sanders for President in 2020.

Creator Of Viral Bernie Sanders Video Succumbs To Hysterical Assault

(commentator says, it’s my video and I can say whatever I want)…..absolutely…. (“if you run they’ll chase you for the rest of your life”)

That’s a reason I, for one, stand firm and solid as a White Militant ‘70’s Feminist…..how do you like me now?

“Don’t let your enemies define your perspective”, says commentator. to which one agrees.

Having not seen the expose’s, one doesn’t know the MLK references spoken of, but one believes those “howling” about it, are the same capitalist characters wrapping themselves in the MLK flag while promoting the capitalism that MLK didn’t support.

Attempts to censor Bernie Sanders are ongoing. If Bernie Sanders voters are again disenfranchised of rights to free, clean, and fair elections in 2020 as was true in the DNC Primary for 2016, one will confidently cast a vote for Green Party candidate Howie Hawkins — — https://www.gp.org/howie_hawkins

https://www.gp.org/2020

**************************************************************************************************************************************************

Some voters in the US were disenfranchised due to Capitalist Party D&R election rigging that is controlled by political Parties. The Capitalist Party R&D, have as their objective, putting in place rules that ensure the candidate choice of a particular Establishment Party is put into office, even against the wishes of the voters.

Please remember political Parties have no standing under the US Constitution, but voters do have standing under the US Constitution. Due to disenfranchisement of 3rd-Party candidates, Bernie Sanders who is an Independent, chooses to run as a Democrat for President. If a voter is a member of a 3rd-Party, and wishes to vote for 3rd-Party politician Bernie Sanders, in the Democratic Primary, that voter may be disenfranchised of his/her Constitutional right of a free and fair election, as happened to a large number of voters in NYS in 2016.

One suspects these disenfranchised voters who may have felt defrauded of their right to vote in the 2016 Democratic Primary, voted for Trump in the 2016 general election. One believes this will happen again, because needless to say, the Capitalist Party R&D prefer chaos in the election system, which is a control mechanism for political Parties with no standing under the US Constitution, while the voters do have standing under the US Constitution. This is an interesting red-herring to wield a control that is not Constitutional.

*****Each state is different as to their voter registration guidelines. Anyone wishing to vote for Bernie Sanders for President in the Democratic Primary, should check to be sure they will not be disenfranchised at the polls, once again in 2020, as in 2016. A voter can easily switch between political Parties, rather than functioning as a captive Party loyalist, to a political Party that is not loyal to the voter. *****

Or one can be registered to vote, without being affiliated to a particular political Party. Please remember, the US Constitution supports free and fair elections for voters, but is blissfully unconcerned about political Parties. That some Americans believe “we are a 2-Party system”, is nothing but propaganda.

*****Be sure to check with your state to register to vote in the Primary according to your wish and by exercising your US Constitutional right to vote.*****

*****One may also advocate for ranked-choice voting, that will expand choices for voters, and provide a greater possibility of free and fair elections.*****
