Anywhere else in the world, such degree of frustration would have resulted in massive protests against the government, perhaps even uprisings and revolution. However, we live in a country where the government and corporations spend billions of dollars in their propaganda war to brain wash the citizenry: it’s the blacks and Mexicans who have taken our jobs, and the Muslims are waiting around the corner to blow us up, and of course, the homosexuals will bring about the ruination of our culture, …

From Fox News to Rush Limbaugh or Michael Savage, the people are being bombarded by fascistic propaganda and their frustrations channeled into chauvinistic and xenophobic interpretations of the reality.

The slogans of much of the progressive community, unfortunately do not help either, as they invite the people to calm and even to turn the other cheek. Vote candidates out of office? The people’s frustrations are way beyond that. It will take much more radical demands that will captivate the attention of people. The extensive armies of the unemployed and suffering people will need to be approached and organized for massive protests with radical but tangible demands.

There’s an unfortunate irrationality – since murder is treated so harshly by the “justice” system and ignorant society the only people who commit murder are the desperate and sometimes delusional. Therefore, instead of rational murder, killing the elite, they kill those close at hand. So Dick Cheney is allowed to continue to steal oxygen from humans by breathing while decent Americans are mowed down. I would have a lot more hope in the revolutionary aspect of Americans if Cheney and Bush were corpses right now. That they aren’t is an abomination.

Self-defense-based armed groups are fine, but most elite domination is not based on physical force – it’s based on institutions and laws. So carrying around a gun and “defending oneself” isn’t revolutionary – it’s just common sense. It’s the institutions and laws that have to be destroyed, and some of the elite and their pawns who defend those will likely have to die in the process. There’s no need to shed any tears over their bodies, merely over those who die or whose lives are ruined for our cause.

On a separate topic, the US cannot have a socialist takeover of the country such as occurred in Venezuela where workers appropriated factories, since the US economy is not manufacturing-based. The US economy is financial and structural theft-based. It’s models of trickery and extortion cannot be appropriated, no more so than a Mob can be transformed into a park. This was one of the subtle brilliances behind the neoliberal move to financial domination.

This means that the US truly needs a transformation of localism, a community-based economy.

Thanx.

No ridicule.

What is your concept of War?

I know “I” do not own the playing surface by this “day and age” standard.

I have been chastised for not putting forth some semblance of a balance.

Interpretation these days will lead to condemnation.

That is just the way it is.

Risk putting the truth on trial and risk everything.

“To the victor go the spoils”.

War may not be your forte!

I “suspect” you have no concept of such.

a us soldier is used as a mercenary to fight people who pose no threat to any american; thus is deprived of his/her rightful inheritance to live and to be near to or with his/her family.

an USan is deprived of the right to interpret constitution and not to mention the right to be informed or taught.

only education/enlightenment can save america for all amers.
and the ruling class will not ever give you info nor education; amers have to demand it to get also this basic human right as well as the right to live and healthcare. tnx

Only “community” action, which involves at the base level will help solve this problem.

People need to begin again to take responsibilty for their own actions.

Action is needed by “Good and Honest” individuals.

Before I didn’t understand what Universal health care–or a single payer system was? But now I am in total in agreement with its principles? Wellbeing should be for every legal American, no matter the circumstances?

The Single payer method is a huge reservoir of money, hopefully minus the middleman, who extracts his pound of flesh from the insured? As I see it, we don’t need insurance companies anymore, nor billing businesses and an enormous amount of companies who are intermediates. We need the US federal government to run the whole matrix like in Europe. It will be a direct line to the health care providers, eye and dental, care, hospitals and specialists. We also need politicians who are honest and don’t have a too-close a relationship with corporate America, Insurance companies, drug companies, and the special interest lobby?

THE PEOPLE can do this? They can fight for the Single payer system? Universal health care cannot be any worse than medical services already have, with sick people being denied assistance and medicine. Americans pay more for their pharmaceuticals, than the majority if not all nations around the world. Hundreds of sick people having to wait for unrealistic hours, in overcrowded hospitals including senior citizens to be seen. This is very wrong, although the wealthy individuals will disagree, because they always have the money to see a physician? Now that Democrats have made it a mandatory issue, we should contact them and demand the Single payer system and not listen to the critics, who always have something to gain. In the next few months we are going to get bombarded, with millions of dollars in Health insurance ads, determined to disintegrate any earthly chance at all? Americans must receive decent health care–without the worry of big premiums and co-pays. With Universal health care–it is not FREE–it’s just you pay the government through extra taxes as in civilized foreign countries? Under Republican administration tied mostly to the Insurance industry, you will never see the chance. In UHC everybody pays into the system to receive decent medical care benefits.

Years ago I was vacationing in London, and by some remote chance taken sick. At the Hospital I was amazed not be asked for my Drivers license or passport. When addressing the doctor his words are clearly in my mind as if it was yesterday. with a sigh, the Indian doctor said.” We are here to provide a service if you are not well. There are no costs for this..? Yet in America we are hounded for our identification, so the wolves at the debt collection offices, can hunt you down like a common criminal. Not satisfied with that, they can take us to court, where they can place a lien on your home or any assets we might have?

If you watch the Wall Street exchange marquee the only companies that have rising stocks in this economic downturn are generally Health Insurance companies. Just as they write off the sick, with pre-existing conditions–LET US WRITE THE INSURANCE COMPANIES OFF? Give them a taste of their own medicine–so to speak? .They have monopolized the American people for far too long. They have manipulated our legislators as they are now. Let’s send them packing. This is probably the only chance we have in altering the future of health care. President Obama can make this country whole and give American employers a chance to fight competition from other lands. The American car makers will not have to combat their namesake from Europe, because they will be on equal footing. Health in America is a trillion dollar industry that has gone stagnant? With most of the money being absorbed by obsolete insurance companies. Other major issues should be placed at the back, except for illegal immigration. Only the mass importation of cheap foreign labor causes escalating taxes in the United States. This is another well designed method to be an impediment to health care for legal citizens, as illegal immigrants get their medical services for free in the emergency room.

Only Americans voters have this unique power to place in front of the politicians, a single payer system. For without it, medical care will become a burden to big and small businesses, until they can no longer afford the rising costs. Just following the usual health insurance companies path, for it will just be another extra cost from the average Americans wages to insure his family. With a national insurance little will be wasted, and fraud will be easier to recognize for every man, women and child who wants freedom from sickness and years of financial worry.
