Was Jesse Ventura's show Conspiracy Theory right?
Ventura interviewed a scientist back in the 1990's who said that 'They' are going to poison our air, our water, our food and who knew what else?
I chalked it up to something that I would pay attention to and see if she was correct. Looking at the news on the poisoning of baby food for decades proves she got a few things right. On top of that it was the Flint water known to have massive amounts of lead in it that was willingly given to the poorest of Flint's citizens. What else is poisoned? Well there was the dawg food back in 2007 when the FDA knew that contaminated pet food was killing tens of thousands of dawgs in the most hideous way for 6 months before they issued a recall How many dawgs could have been saved. And what actions are being done if any to see that COVID wipes out the elderly population in nursing homes to save the amount social security has to pay out every year? I think that we deserves to know who made all these decisions that put our lives at risk so that companies can have higher profits. We are already seeing them willing to kill the most vulnerable and who have no rights to recourse. The undocumented immigrants pushed back into meat packing factories without proper PPE or the idea that the owners care about their lives. Whether they survive COVID's initial assault or have to deal what they body has become now for the foreseeable future.

Capitalism destroys everything...
Maybe we should force feed the C suite exe's at these major companies, their own baby food and see how well they like being poisoned! (snark but not snark)

Disposing of toxic waste in the approved manner is
pretty damn expensive. Selling it food and such is a far better disposal method.
be well and have a good one.
That, in its essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power. -- Franklin D. Roosevelt --
Actually, the truth of this,
... which is revealed by the science —
... and the motive for it,
... which is revealed by political action
... and supported with public funds —
... has given me writer's block.
These degrading activities are really too banal to be thought of as a 'conspiracy theory.' What we see are the logical actions one would take if the First Priority of life on earth was to asset-strip the planet and exploit the labor of disposable human beings, in order to continually expand corporate profits year over year.
If the First Priority was nurturing human beings and safeguarding the biome that supports human life for generations to come, none of these atrocities against the natural world would be committed, and regulations would be celebrated.
All of the gaslighting in our lives can be traced back to this. Depopulation is simply a benign byproduct, when excess humans are used like disposable filters to reabsorb and concentrate the toxins for safe burial. This may look like a logical process from outside the Milky Way, but up close, it takes a shitload of psychopaths to pull it off.
Excellent description of what rulers should do
instead of what they want to do in order to keep their profits up. We are watching the 6th extinction event in real time and still they are held unaccountable by we the people. I have been reading about depopulation and I don’t think it’s ever gone away. Just like the cia scams run us they just went dark.
Those shitload of psychopaths were busy reproducing themselves and want to close the door behind them. Reminds of Trump supporting expatriates. How many of them supported Trump’s anti immigrant stance and don’t want others to have a better chance at life like they got and took? American exceptionalism and hypocrisy rolled into one.
Hindsight says that we should have been getting rid of every congress member who wasn’t doing everything in their power to hold corporations accountable and make them clean up their own gd mess. Instead we have countless super fund sites that are needing cleaned up, but there is no funding for it because corporations either sold it to another company that refused to do the work or they just walked away from.
The message echoes from Gaza back to the US. “Starving people is fine.”
If people want a new government
...with representatives who are there to protect the interests of the People and to improve their lives — instead of professional politicians who are there to increase their own powers and maintain the entrenched status quo they serve, while hustling corporations for re-election bribes — then people need to vote as a coordinated Bloc.
If People want to flush the rampant corruption and influence peddling out of Congress — instead of watching helplessly as the dedicated services that government should be performing are weaponized and turned into opaque corporate profiteering enterprises that systematically revoke regulations that were put into place to protect the people from known harms and abuses — then people need to vote smarter to protect themselves for the long haul.

For the next three of four Presidential cycles, the People's should Vote Out All Incumbents who appear on their ballots. Thus, in just a few cycles, the People will have assembled a Completely Clean Congress of first term representatives. A Clean Congress is less likely to be corrupted by the private money of greedy corporations or favored foreign governments. These entities fund US elections in order to buy influence or push their own predatory legislation through Congress. Moreover, Congress legalized insider trading for themselves, and it is during that Second Term when they take that first million and turn it into multimillions, in a paroxysm of legal corruption. They are useless to us at that point.
We do not need professional politicians representing us, the more successful they are, the more contaminated. We need sincere, respectful people just like us, who have no seniority with nefarious DC 'power' groups or revolving-door think tanks — or with any of the other blighted grifters who lodge themselves in DC and distort the nation's Moral Compass. We want to be represented by people who identify with us and who empathize with our needs and aspirations. We need people in Congress who still have authentic ideals. And then we need to let them go and bring in a fresh group
Believe it or not, politics and political parties have no place in government. That's how the founders saw it. They knew Lon ago that too much of either would lay a stink on Washington.
