The fact that it’s a given that our Congress is owned by AIPAC (and anyone else with a multi-million $ budget) is terrible. And it’s so obvious. Do our politicians have any shame? This has been going on for decades and nobody does anything about it!! It’s the complete corruption of the most powerful country at an historical moment when the survival of our species is at stake! And we can’t fix it!!?
The Congress has been essentially redesigned to facilitate the flow of money as a tool of control. Representatives are obedient or will be punished, including being primaried out of office. As a result there are in reality no actual Progressives in Congress.
Clearly, when did this country ever become the many sided laudable human paradigm for a morally good mythical society outside of its reality of true matching model of Robert Heinlein's rationalisers and not of those tossed out as seen RE Dclaration of Independence, Federalist's Papers, and Bill of Rights found in US Charter, but instead, the America of the UNTIED States of America[with 3rd stanza of RACIST American anthem retained since the start] with the cruel thieves and snake oil salesmen prevailing still.

I believe in democracy as a pragmatic solution to the capitalist mess we’ve become. It’s not about labels and theories, it’s a design issue. Humans can design a governing system that protects the Commons yet encourages new ideas and approaches. The problem now is getting rid of the massive imbalance of the wealthy…
Alison Weir once told of a publisher who refused to run ads, that spoke for Palestinians, and she wanted media to be fair on the issue,he refused saying never would he allow it, and as a publisher fir a History book wny nor?

She wrote her own book called Against Our Better Judgment, and for a bit I thought she was another Dorothy Thompson, Zionists also pulled that on Rep Cynthis McKinney.

Like the use of the term genocide in Gaza, the recognition that these gadget-bombs were acts of terrorism must be repeated to the shady masses in the US until they can no longer argue. Their cowardly words must be countered always because their propaganda is ubiquitous. It’s shameful and heartbreaking that they defend murdering children. Channeling the evil Golda Mier, I wrote in a NYT comment: “I hope that someday the Israelis can forgive the Lebanese people for making them blow the head off of an eight year old girl”. To my shock, it was not printed.
Not only the global south but the whole world will be afraid of buying new electronics if Israel is not punished for this act of terrorism and the related industries are not made accountable for their products.
I think it excellent if the entire world would quit buying and producing electronic equipment, particularly communications equipment. The din and noise of electromagnetic broadcast are quite literally, driving people insane. The majority of modern disease (particularly cancers) are electromagnetically induced. The executive staff at IEEE know damn well their devices create negative health. No one wishes to face reality.... https://www.powerwatch.org.uk/library/index.asp
Yes, the problem is we need some of those devices, but we could use them as a last resource and very sporadically. I have consciously avoided to become enslaved by the cell phone and I purchased a cheap one because I don't want to be stranded at the highway without being able to call for help (it happened to me). But in relation to what happened in Lebanon I will never purchase a product from Motorola the producer of those killer devices.
The interviewers final comment was not lost on me “.. Chris Hedges, a man, who in a sane world would occupy Foggy Bottom as Secty of State”. So true - but I wouldn’t wish that on him in this state of affairs !
I wrote this comment to you, Robert Reich, Common Dreams, et. al.
Dear Kamala,
Your weak, inept, and vacuous comment on the Economy is simply stupid and only says:
“The Opportunity Economy” — which sounds like the same over again shit --- since the BILLIONAIRE BASTARDS literally OWN the Economy.
Please, please. please, Kamala — WTF-up and use this much better blaster of intelligence, truth, and the real American Dream:
“The EQUALITY ECONOMY” FOR ALL AMERICANS!!
I just last week bought the Joan Baez limited edition 1000 ONLY print of KAMALA’S portrait for $1000 — which contributes money to “FREE SPEECH TV”.
PLEASE — ANYONE AND EVERYONE ONE CD should contribute to CD in any way for Common Dreams itself, or other protest efforts to prevent fucking ZIONISM, NUTANYAHU, & TRUMP from taking over the American Empire, despite the fact that a Global ZIONIST EMPIRE would be ‘many orders of magnitude worse’ for our entire Globe and Solar System!
Anyone who knows anything about Economics, and the American Economy has to start at the seminal truth that AMERICA HAS THE HIGHEST AND WORST GINI COEFFICIENT OF WEALTH INEQUALITY of all countries on EARTH!
BTW, the GINI Coefficient of Wealth Inequality is simply expressed as:
0 [Zero] means that all people in a country exactly share the SAME WEALTH.
While a GINI Coefficient of Wealth Inequality of 1 [One] means that One fucking Zillionaire OWNS ALL THE WEALTH on OUR PLANET.
for those who have been thinking John Mearsheimer is one of the good guys... he's a warmonger who is fine with US hegemony & nuclear war. https://youtu.be/kNZ0ASDRxmo?feature=shared
Things are about to blow, if you know ---- which you do, as well as myself
My newest, double-sided, ad-hoc, focus-group tested, and highly favorable, demonstration/protest signs on this fast-coming apocalyptic – war between Zionism and America – simply say:
ABORT AND
END THE
REPUBLICAN

LOVE AND
VOTE FOR
DEMOCRATIC
SOCIALISM
BTW, The almost certainly nuclear WW3 will be ginned-up by this krytron:
A colleague went to San Francisco with family. On a corner in downtown he observed a scene from hell – three humans in grotesques unnatural “frozen” (unmoving) positions (fentanyl effect).
One was standing by a bicycle with upper body horizontally lying motionlessly across bike.
Nowhere on Earth – in any city, state or country would be allowed such horror and suffering – for years. Only in Biden/Harris/Newsome America.
While Congress mega-gangster, Nancy Pelosi, literally kisses hands of Ukrainian Nazi-gangster and US vassal, Zelensky, in US Congress, while a large contingent of RINO Republicans wave Ukrainian flags – celebrating hundreds of billions dollars to Ukraine while above horrors are daily in the US. Congress demanded that showing that infamous photos are – forbidden to show (“disinformation”).
Note, that after US coup against democratically elected government of Ukraine and in the name of “defending democracy”, all parties were outlawed, opponents of Nazi-dominated imposed government started to “disappear”, all media is strictly censored and staffed with CIA-trained propagandists, Russian media is immediately forbidden in Europe and US….
We are ruled by a corrupt and criminal Biden/Harris administration. The country is now being entirely run by a slew of minions like Jake Sullivan, Antony Blinken, etc. Just observe a video from the past day alone, which is outright shocking -- an absolutely wasted, mentally unfit, and enfeebled looking Biden croaking out some frail introduction to his wife, who is now heading the Cabinet meeting in his stead. It is the first Cabinet meeting since October of 2023—an entire year—and it’s being run by Jill sitting at the head of the president’s seat…
This is America today – in which CIA-DNC controlled state media in unison adores and pushes an unelected loser -- the brainless puppet “Skamala” Harris.
Uh, wasn't the 'Commons' that idea? Any heiracical system,i.e., demands a Diminant presence. Capitalism is dominaince and cannot be that as it requires itself to be the top bully and unsustainable growth is just like trying to make anarchism work while also , same as trying to leave home for work every morn without one's head. Anarcgism requires only full trust in each other as its only demand. I trust our judgment same as you do, knowing human will make mistakes, trust that we all need and want but limits in freedom and learning how it has to work without anyone dominating another, and with an understanding that to each of us there's a niche or a firte befitting us all and knowinf trial and errror is not the exceprion but the rule. Rockets got blown up often but they still keptat ot.

Hello Mike Rube. You asked: "Do our politicians have any shame?" No. They have bank accounts and brief moments of glory. Nothing else matters...
And we can "fix it" very soon in the elections just voting out the sold ones.
The Congress has been essentially redesigned to facilitate the flow of money as a tool of control. Representatives are obedient or will be punished, including being primaried out of office. As a result there are in reality no actual Progressives in Congress.

we all know what comes next. Israel bhaves more and more outrageously, in order to goad Hezbollah into a response.
Once Israel gets what it wants, it runs screaming to its American thug.
Get Dual Citizens Out of Congress!!!
