While walking through the woodlands of the Black Hills, Chase gives us an astonishing narration about the need to free Leonard Peltier.
In a brilliant, uniquely moving discourse, Chase takes us through the ordeal of Indigenous people at the hands of European settler-colonialism.
He also makes up close and personal Leonard’s tragic imprisonment and the need to get him paroled and free.
VINNIE DESTEPHANO, WENDI LEDERMAN, LYNNE FEINERMAN, STEVE CARUSO contribute beautifully to the dialogue.
We are then honored by ANA MALINOW and her spectacular presentation on MEDICARE and the scam of for-profit national health care.
DR. NANCY NIPARKO joins with Ana in dissecting the American decline in life expectancy and quality of care, a true human and national tragedy.
We hear further on this vital topic as MIKE HERSH, PATRICK HEARNDON, SANDY BOLZENIUS, DAVID SALTMAN, DR. RUTH STRAUSS chime in with their usual genius.
This great two hours remind us of why we love to get together. See you next Zoom.
Who’s in Charge Here?
Certainly not the ‘Commander-in-Chief’, whether he’s a doddering old pedophile in terminal decline, or a narcissistic comb-overed con man and convicted felon.
And, certainly not ‘We The People’, the psyoped and indoctrinated masses.
Thus, the obvious and legitimate question arises, “Who’s really calling the shots – both kinetic and pharmaceutical. Who’s really running these dis-United States?
Chief Suspects
A) A global minority ruling class with Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum (WEF) its most familiar public face?
(B) A Zionist network of lobbyists, Israeli intelligence agents and investment bankers, the public faces of which are AIPAC, ADL and the Mossad. Plus Israeli military and intelligence contractors like Elbit Systems and Magal Security Systems.
Almost as appalling as President Biden’s debate performance are the efforts of his loyalists to pretend that what 50 million viewers saw and heard didn’t happen or didn’t really matter. What has unfolded in the last few days amounts to a political gaslighting operation by the Biden campaign and supportive pretenders who’ve been trying to erase history as soon as it happened.
Apparently, Biden’s ego has proven to be much more resilient than his cognition, while loved ones and sycophants in concentric inner and outer circles cling desperately to talking points that are patently dishonest, often preposterous, and virulently dangerous for prospects of preventing a second Trump presidency.
By whistling past the graveyard of Biden’s credibility as a viable candidate in 2024, the pretenders are doing a huge disservice to all who want to avert a full takeover of the U.S. government by the fascistic Republican Party.
Let’s start with the innermost circle -- the First Couple. The day after the debate, both sidestepped what it had shown, instead striving to make it about one man’s quest to show individual resilience.
Humanitarian aid should never be politicized though, quite often, the very survival of nations is used as political bargaining chips.
Sadly, Gaza remains a prime example. Even before the current war, the Gaza Strip suffered under a 17-year hermetic blockade, which has rendered the impoverished area virtually 'unlivable'.
That very term, ‘unlivable’ was used by the then-UN Special Rapporteur for the Situation of Palestine, Michael Lynk, in 2018.
President Joe Biden's debate disaster this week placed a magnifying glass on the already existing concerns of the American electorate that Joe Biden is showing serious signs of cognitive impairment. The debate was a tectonic shift in electoral politics, no matter how the Ruling Elites attempt to spin it. One thing is now crystal clear. The chance to beat the Orange Menace in November is increased by replacing Biden, rather than being a risky move. The riskiest move is to allow Biden to run for President, risking the future of America and democracy itself.
Every America has witnessed the devastating effects of dementia which often included rapid progression. In January, Biden gave a reasonably vigorous State of the Union address, quieting his critics. Only 5 months later, the word vigorous no longer applies, nor will it in the weeks and months to come. It is possible if not likely that Biden will be a shell of a man by election day in November.
Once upon a time the United States of America was a constitutional republic that was by design constructed with checks and balances to limit corruption and constrain the ability of any branch of government to initiate certain potentially harmful actions, like going to war, which required approval by both Congress and the Executive Branch. Of course, that was 261 years ago and things change over time. Today’s America, what claims to be both a democracy and the issuer plus enforcer of international rules and norms, is arguably one of the most corrupt as well as most disliked countries on earth, with a political system that is exceptionally vulnerable to those who have deep pockets and a willingness to spend freely to obtain favors from the professional politicians and bureaucrats who now proliferate throughout the system.
