If Nietzsche was right, and what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger, we can thank the global capitalist ruling classes, the Democratic Party, and the corporate media for four more years of Donald Trump. The long-awaited Mueller report is due any day now, or so they keep telling us. Once it is delivered, and does not prove that Trump is a Russian intelligence asset, or that he personally conspired with Vladimir Putin to steal the presidency from Hillary Clinton, well, things are liable to get a bit awkward. Given the amount of  goalpost-moving  and focus-shifting that has been going on, clearly, this is what everyone’s expecting. Honestly, I’m a bit surprised. I was sure they were going to go ahead and fabricate some kind of “smoking gun” evidence (like the pee-stained sheets from that Moscow hotel), or coerce one of his sleazy minions into testifying that he personally saw Trump down on his knees “colluding” Putin in the back room of a Russian sauna. After all, if you’re going

French army receives authorization to shoot “yellow vest” protesters So what do you think about the army being used against the protesters in france, this might turn into a full on rebellion now that the government has so openly turned on the people. what should we be doing to both help those in france and help get such an uprising going here in the states. 

John D. Vedilago Sr. There is absolutely no reason for anyone left or right to support much less vote for either the Democratic/Republican criminal organizations or any of their canidates. IMHO If any of the 15 other political parties want to vastly increase their membership and funds it should annouce and use every means possible to launch an effort to have both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party disbanded and their leaders arrested. Both of these organized criminal organizations, trying to pass as Political Partiesand their leaders, are guilty of years and years of raceteering, voter fraud, vote rigging, vote tampering, illegal voter supression, ballot distruction, extortion, bribery, kickbacks, money laundering, war crimes, crimes agaist humanity, acting as foriegn agents etc... etc... etc.. Let us take the agressive lead in forming a broad coalition of legal scholars, orgaizations like the ACLU and lawyers, prosecuters, crimimal investigators and other disinfranchised

Thank you, Alice X, for submitting this. ~~~~~~~~~ Law and Ideology First published Mon Oct 22, 2001; substantive revision Fri Oct 24, 2014 If law is a system of enforceable rules governing social relations and legislated by a political system, it might seem obvious that law is connected to ideology. Ideology refers, in a general sense, to a system of political ideas, and law and politics seem inextricably intertwined. Just as ideologies are dotted across the political spectrum, so too are legal systems. Thus we speak of both legal systems and ideologies as liberal, fascist, communist, and so on, and most people probably assume that a law is the legal expression of a political ideology. One would expect the practice and activity of law to be shaped by people's political beliefs, so law might seem to emanate from ideology in a straightforward and uncontroversial way. However, the connection between law and ideology is both complex and contentious. This is because of the

“The terrorism of the state is put into action when the dominant classes can pursue their business by no other means.  Torture wouldn’t exist in our countries if it weren’t effective; formal democracy would continue if it could be guaranteed not to get out of the hands that hold power.”  ~ Eduardo Galeano _________________________________________________ On December 2, 1823 in the wake of rebellions in Latin America that had ended Spanish rule in the Western Hemisphere, US President James Monroe announced that European colonial powers that attempted to assert influence in the region would be an overt threat to the national security of the US.  Monroe claimed that European monarchies and colonialism were incompatible with the notions of democracy and republicanism that were featured in the New World.  Monroe’s proclamation set the stage for US foreign policies for nearly 200 years: US hegemony over Latin America was a natural extension of the messianic visions of Manifest Destiny
