Stein--Why the Essays? And Other Stuff

Submitted by apenultimate on Sun, 09/04/2016 - 3:36pm

Some of you may be wondering why I've started making these nearly daily essays on what's been happening with Jill Stein's run for president.

The basic reason is simple. Besides Jill Stein's reddit and possibly facebook presence, there really is no way for people interested in Jill Stein to track her progress and what is going on with her campaign. Without that, people easily fall into the impression that not much is happening with the campaign, and they lose interest quickly.

The oligarchy does not change. Only the faces are new. They have done this and worse over the years. The sham democracy is being exposed again in so many ways yet some still are foolish enough to cling to the illusion.-

I watched a recent video from the people's protest of the pipeline. Some really fine Americans are out there fighting for you and I. We need to get behind them and stand alongside them in what ever way we can.

The Great Wall (Of Ice)

I feel somewhat compelled to be specific. Not the big pile of masonry in the Western part of China that you can see from Space. Not the huuge beautiful one on the Southern border of the United States that the Mexicans are going to pay for. Nope, the every bit as ambitious and likely to be just as ineffectual one in Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, around the rotting radioactive ruins of the Daiichi Power Station.

For 5 and a bit years now ground water has been flooding in through the holes in the 3 containment units that suffered a nuclear melt down. There would have been more but those were the only ones in operation at the time. The water in turn has become quite radioactive itself and they've been pumping it into rusty and leaking tanks that now occupy most of the space at the site.

Well, they still have no idea what to do about that, but for the last couple of years or so they've been trying to cut off the incoming streams by freezing the soil to permafrost. How's that working out for them?

(Part 42, wherein we once again attack the practice of Mega-Coroprations expropriating Public Assets and marketing them for their own profit.)

Comerades! Our glorious Socialist Revolution once again advances against Capitalist Imperialism under the banner of our Trotskyite leader, Jeremy Corbyn!

His Radical Plan to actually make Public Scientific Research... well, Public will surely bring the Running Dogs and their Dead Parrot Media to their Knees!

Knees! I tells yah.

No hurry. It's only equal rights at stake.

US Magistrate Judge Joi Elizabeth Peake has delayed federal court proceedings concerning the North Carolina HB2 law for six months "while the U.S. Supreme Court considers whether to hear a Virginia case on transgender restroom access."

Instead of a court date in November as had been scheduled, the case will be pushed back to next May.
