The Supreme Court has just now certified the deadliest and most economically destructive scam of the entire Trump catastrophe.
Every downwind American is now threatened with deadly radiation while state after state bankrupts itself with soaring electric bills and ecological disaster, crippling the Solartopian green energy revolution.
It is, in short, the “hole in the head” wave of massive state-based nuke bailouts
All across the US, brain-dead Trumpist legislatures are scamming public billions into dying nuke reactors that pose the #1 threat to human survival on this planet.
All the world’s 440 reactors (98 in the US) are decrepit, crumbling, ready to blow. They’re uninspected, under-maintained, filthy, falling apart. They emit massive quantities of heat and radiation that cause climate chaos. Most are huge money-losers that can’t compete with green Solartopian technologies.
1. What would you like the U.S. discretionary budget to look like? With 60% now going to militarism, what percentage would you like that to be?
It is depressing to observe how the United States of America has become the evil empire. Having served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War and in the Central Intelligence Agency for the second half of the Cold War, I had an insider’s viewpoint of how an essentially pragmatic national security policy was being transformed bit by bit into a bipartisan doctrine that featured as a sine qua non global dominance for Washington. Unfortunately, when the Soviet Union collapsed the opportunity to end once and for all the bipolar nuclear confrontation that threatened global annihilation was squandered as President Bill Clinton chose instead to humiliate and use NATO to contain an already demoralized and effectively leaderless Russia.
Oh, the normalcy of militarism! Our annual financial hemorrhage to this complex menagerie of institutions — from the Pentagon to Homeland Security to the Nuclear Security Administration to the CIA and its secret expenditures — must not be seriously questioned in the corridors of Congress, even though, all things considered, it comes to almost a trillion dollars annually.
Call it the Defense budget, smile and move on.
Even the current “liberal revolt” in the House of Representatives over the Dems’ proposed budget isn’t a serious questioning of the American way of war but, rather, a demand for “parity” between social and defense spending, which, if anything, further hardens the latter into an unquestioned reality. Yes, yes, America spends more on its military than the next seven countries combined, but let’s make sure we have money available for healthcare too, OK?
In some of the many Duty to Warn columns that I have written over the years about the domination that for-profit corporations have acquired over healthcare delivery in America, I have especially tried to warn readers (especially parents of vulnerable infants and children) about the many hidden dangers from the thousands of drugs and vaccines that are mass-produced by the hundreds of multinational drug and vaccine manufacturers across the world. Every single one of those corporations has unethically hidden those dangers via their ever-present propaganda efforts.
For profit corporations don’t pledge the Hippocratic Oath like physicians and nurses used to do. And the only “ethical” duty of corporations is a fiduciary one. Their only “ethical” responsibility is to their shareholders; and that means “to make as large a profit as possible” so that those shareholders will benefit from dividend distribution or share price escalation.
The current political brawl over next year’s budget is highly significant. With Democrats in a House majority for the first time in eight years, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and most other party leaders continue to support even more largesse for the Pentagon. But many progressive congressmembers are challenging the wisdom of deference to the military-industrial complex -- and, so far, they’ve been able to stall the leadership’s bill that includes a $17 billion hike in military spending for 2020.
An ostensible solution is on the horizon. More funds for domestic programs could be a quid pro quo for the military increases. In other words: more guns and more butter.
“Guns and butter” is a phrase that gained wide currency during escalation of the Vietnam War in the mid-1960s. Then, as now, many Democrats made political peace with vast increases in military spending on the theory that social programs at home could also gain strength.
On 11 April 2019, WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange was dragged from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London by UK police and arrested for breaching a bail condition. See ‘Arrest update – SW1’. Upon arrival at a London police station, Julian was ‘further arrested’ on behalf of the United States government to satisfy an extradition warrant under Section 73 of the UK Extradition Act. See ‘UPDATE: Arrest of Julian Assange’.
Most people realize how Big Pharma's greedy drug pricing raises our health care costs. Fewer are aware of how the greedy drug pricing also raise our taxes.
Ohio Governer Mike Dewine signed into law Senate Bill 23 Thursday which effectively bans abortion for the vast majority of the tens of thousands of Ohio women who currently seek abortion yearly.
Dubbed by supporters as a “heartbeat bill,” the law abolishes abortion once a heartbeat is detected in the fetus, which is at 5 ½ or 6 weeks after gestation, before many women know they are pregnant, and earlier than most women are currently able to access abortion.
The bill makes no exception for women who have been raped, but provides an exception if a women’s health is at risk.
Freda Levenson, the Legal Director of ACLU of Ohio, said the ACLU will sue, and expects the courts to rule in their favor, and if it is appealed they will continue to fight the case. Levenson pointed to the fact that multiple other states have passed similar bills and they have all been struck down by the courts.
This article explains, at least partially, the steadily enlarging numbers of learning disabled, intellectually-disabled, behaviorally-disordered, autism spectrum disordered children that come out of the large populations of fully vaccinated (and therefore over-vaccinated) infants and children (with thimerosal/mercury brain toxicity syndromes and/or aluminum adjuvanted vaccine-induced toxic encephalopathies and/or live vaccine virus-induced measles infectious encephalopathies.
These poor Big Pharma/Big Medicine corporation-damaged kids are now mostly chronically ill, over-medicated children that never made it past pre-school and are now institutionalized or ”living” at “home” under their parent’s 24 hour care-giving (80% of those parents get divorced due to the extreme stress).
The statistics-based predictions are that, if the over-vaccinating of America’s children with neurotoxic and autoimmunity-inducing vaccine ingredients doesn’t dramativally decrease soon, the incidence of autism among America’s fully-vaccinated children will approach 50% within the decade!
