This author became a firm, unwavering supporter of Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s run for President of the United States of America after I learned he understands and opposes NATO's war against Russia, via Ukraine. The last President who advocated for peace was his Uncle, John F Kennedy, who's American University peace speech in June of 1963 likely resulted in his assassination at the hands of the National Security State. Although Jimmy Carter started no wars, he was not openly antiwar. Independent candidates, Jill Stein for example, have been antiwar but the system is stacked against independent candidates. Since my first vote for President, I have never had the opportunity to vote for a candidate who opposed war and had a chance to win.
The Israeli government is at it again, actively discussing the construction of thousands of illegal settlement units as part of a massive settlement expansion scheme known as E1.
Though Israeli construction in the East Jerusalem area has supposedly been halted under international pressure, the Israeli government has found ways to keep the plan alive.
We start GREEP Zoom #140 with the great GOVERNOR DON SIEGELMAN of Alabama.
The heroic former Secretary of State, Attorney General, Lieutenant Governor and then Governor of Alabama gives us the run-down on voter suppression history in this country.
He brilliantly denounces the death penalty, of which he has a disturbing personal history.
And he then explains the latest surprising “Milligan” decision by the US Supreme Court which actually overturns a deep anti-black gerrymandering rule in Alabama.
After an important string of questions for Governor Siegelman, we gives way to BRYNN TANNEHILL, who gives us a detailed look at anti-LGBTQ rights.
Brynn shows us the massive numbers of LGBTQ citizens who are fleeing their homes in droves unseen since the horrors of European Jews fleeing the Nazis.
Brynn’s brilliant analysis comes with important graphics and pivotal first-person overviews that truly clarifies the national overview.
Don’t miss either of these important, powerful presenters.
It’s something of an understatement to say that we are all awakening again today in uncharted territory. And, the rule of law prevails.
Despite his avalanche of trumped-up cries of innocence, and despite the wolf whistles on his BS, oops I mean TS channel, lets state with no equivocation there is absolutely no Divine Right of Presidents anywhere in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, Declaration of Independence, Classified or Top Secret documents, or even the Star Spangled Banner. And no matter how mighty his mind thinks it is, he cannot declassify any of the above.
Trump who famously once called himself a “son of God” and who brags about his long distance conversations with the divine is actually a mere mortal, a stupid and sad sack of corpulent corpuscles who pinched his rallying cries for his MAGA masses from medieval Christian European kings who once believed they were answerable to no one except God, This absurd notion of royal absolutism became known as the divine right of kings who expected and demanded total obedience from the people they ruled.
Well, what a treat!
LA Opera closed its 2022/23 season on June 10 by presenting a one-night only performance by
one of America’s favorite songbirds in any style or medium. During An Evening with Renée
Fleming the much-honored, five-time Grammy Award winner was accompanied on the bare
stage of the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion by pianist extraordinaire Simone Dinnerstein and the
Emerson String Quartet (and yes, for all you transcendentalists out there like Revered Art Scott,
they are named after Ralph Waldo Emerson). In addition to enjoying Ms. Fleming’s dulcet tones
backed by exquisite, expertly rendered music, the sold-out audience was also lucky enough to
hear the West Coast premiere of an adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey.
Created circa the 8 th century B.C., from Telemachus to television and beyond, Homer’s epic
poem about the Trojan War and far-flung voyages remains one of the greatest sagas ever told,
still arguably unsurpassed in the art of storytelling. As one can image, there have been many
iterations of Homer’s masterpiece over the centuries, from the Cream’s 1967 rock song Tales of
