"A WORKING CLASS HERO IS SOMETHING TO BE"; HENRY WINSTON

Above a John Lennon song I featured on a previous post.

Will link to it again, at the bottom.

The working class hero to which I refer, however, IN MY/THIS POST, being a former CPUSA CHAIR HENRY WINSTON.

I thought I would feature Winston BECAUSE, probably, few, or, less people here AND/OR ABROAD AT THIS POINT are aware of Winston whereas, for example, many still MAY recall someone like Paul Robeson because Robeson had a greater international career, presence, as performer, athlete, singer, proficient in multiple languages, in addition to his politics.

AND the reason, among others, I decided to highlight Winston TODAY, NOW, being a very timely and famous quote AFTER Winston wound up losing his eye sight as a consequence of imprisonment during the 1950s McCarthy anti-Communist witch hunt, purges, hysteria.
That being:

"They robbed me of my sight BUT NOT MY VISION!"

He WAS, indeed, a very powerful man giving meaning to Lennon's song.

For those unfamiliar with Winston, ONE link below out of many possible sources from which you can pursue for further reading.

Also, photo in link on right hand sidebar can be enlarged:

Finally, as promised, Lennon's song:

LAWSUITS AND US DEBT

Apparently, say pundits, the US government needs to generate income.
The US government, not to mention individuals, have a DEFICIT, DEBT!
We/they are BROKE, BANKRUPT.

And, then, arguments proceed over federal and local tax policy, "entitlements," expenditures, etc.

Being that NO PRINCIPLED Opposition exists HERE, most definitely NOT from our PENSION AND HEALTH CARE INVESTED FAKE Labor Unions, AFL-CIA/SEIU, and, of course, THEIR POLITICIANS, MEDIA, ESTABLISHMENT, NO ONE DEMANDS CHANGED OWNERSHIP OF ANYTHING, REPARATIONS, HERE OR ABROAD, THUS, a SERIOUS strategic, tactical, void exists and MY proposal below to fill it FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN TACKLING OUR NATIONAL ECONOMIC WOES.

NOT facetious.

Considering the US an extraordinarily litigious society based exclusively on the sanctity of PRIVATE PROPERTY from national inception, i.e, Constitution, CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS, LOTS OF THEM, are in order!

GO FORTH AND MULTIPLY!

For beginners, starters, as example.

Let the US government on behalf of ALL US TAXPAYERS sue GERMANY to retrieve TAXPAYER MONEY SPENT ON FORMER POST WWII MARSHALL PLAN HELPING RECONSTITUTE THEIR FASCIST PRIVATE PARTNERS, WITH INTEREST!

That's a GOOD STARTER!

Many more, like, a class action lawsuit DEMANDING more recent TAXPAYER STIMULUS MONIES BE RE-APPROPRIATED AND RE-APPORTIONED EQUITABLY TO ALL US TAXPAYERS AND CITIZENS, RETURNED FROM ALL PRIVATE COMMERCIAL INTERESTS RECEIVING THEM!

Think how much money PAID DIRECTLY to EACH AND EVERY CHILD, ADULT, FAMILY, TAXPAYER IN THE US that represents!

That would immediately end poverty!

No longer would a need exist for gambling jackpots, casinos, lotteries, etc.!

Of course, on behalf of ALL US taxpayers, we can sue, or, CHARGE for TAXPAYER MILITARY ASSISTANCE, SUPPORT, TO SO MANY PLACES ABROAD!

FOR EXAMPLE, US TAXPAYERS can SUE IRAN for MILITARY COSTS FOR THEIR (along with EXXON, ET.AL.) OCCUPATION, ANNEXATION, INTERVENTION, OF WHAT NOW has became INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED AND NAZI OCCUPIED IRAQ, whose former nationalized assets PRIVATELY seized, appropriated, stripped, plundered, divvied up between competing PRIVATE interests, not just Exxon, with refugees streaming out of this new or old plundered territory thanks in large part to Islamic Aryan Iran storm troopers, militias.

The possibilities are quite overwhelming and endless, as you can see.

Just about EVERY NEWLY MINTED (and older) INTERNATIONAL PRIVATE ECONOMIC INTEREST FROM FORMERLY NATIONALIZED ECONOMIES, like USSR, CHINA, OWES US TAXPAYERS for THEIR recently rediscovered PRIVATE "liberation," profiteering, imperial expansionism.

MONIES RETRIEVED NOT TO BE PAID TO US CORPORATIONS, but, DIRECTLY TO US GOVERNMENT and their CITIZEN TAXPAYERS!

Of course, it goes without saying, ALL PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONS MUST BE LIQUIDATED, BANKRUPTED, PROSECUTED, ASSETS SEIZED, PRIMARY EXAMPLE EXXON and too big to fail financial enterprises.

In lieu of above, which requires DIRECT, GLOBAL, PRINCIPLED, ORGANIZED, COORDINATED, MILITANT ACTION, we can SUE up the wazoo!

This represents a real cornucopia for LAWYERS AND ACTIVISTS ALIKE.

Above, being good starting points.

NO PRIVATELY OWNED INSTITUTION, ECONOMIC, FINANCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, ENERGY, HEALTH RELATED, EDUCATION, CORPORATE ENTITY, INDIVIDUAL, REAL ESTATE DEVELOPERS, TELECOMMUNICATIONS INDUSTRY, TO RECEIVE TAXPAYER SUBSIDIES, MONIES, OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER, HERE OR ABROAD!

IF THEY HAVE, or, DO, WE SUE!

So, that's an eloquently SIMPLE proposition.

Let the lawyers begin!

Let those outside SUPPORT THEM!

In the meantime, ECONOMIC WARFARE along with MILITARY INTERVENTION to ensue most everywhere on the globe, especially the Mideast.

As PROMISED previously, NO PEACE TO, SHOULD, or, CAN EXIST IN THE MIDEAST as long as above REALITIES, CAUSES, facts ON THE GROUND, NEITHER recognized, discussed, ignored, acknowledged or ameliorated.

IF previously you DID, COULD, and, can NOT, still, find NAZI manufactured pseudo Islamic Iran IN Iraq (and Syria) and their greater Mideast SPONSORED clones, militias, and terror tactics, THEY DO play in a theatre near you!

One can not problem solve without acknowledging their REAL and just cause first.

But, hey, who cares??

FAKE NEWS, FAKE UNIONS, FAKE OPPOSITION, FAKE EVERYTHING!

A Horror House/World of Mirrors!

POWER TO THE PEOPLE; FASCIST VOODOO ECONOMICS; ONE LARGE SHELL GAME!

Put in a nutshell, Dis-united Suckers and Asshole acronym represents nothing other than a BROKE, BANKRUPT, literally and figuratively, nation and its corresponding ECONOMIC system!

A CRUEL ANACHRONISM!

Fiat money, thanks to a PRIVATELY OWNED US Federal Reserve Bank and their circulating notes and US Government issued Treasury bonds, along with many other local Municipal Bonds, trade globally and domestically reflecting NOTHING but a revolving door of ASTRONOMICAL SOCIALIZED DEBT, PRIVATIZED PROFIT, SUBSIDIES FOR TOO BIG TO FAIL PRIVATE FINANCIAL ENTITIES ALONG WITH OTHERS!!

ONE BIG, FAT, COLLECTIVE DEBTOR NATION.

Our nauseating, sickening, self-serving, professional, CAREER POLITICIANS, local, state, national, and, their respective, TWIN, Fascist PARTIES, function as IMPOTENT interface between, standing for, those above and a brainwashed public supposedly whom they claim to represent, those who ACTUALLY CREATE ADDED USE VALUE, WORK!

Our present political organization exercises NO power BECAUSE OUR CAREER POLITICIANS REPRESENT A STATE WHICH OWNS AND CONTROLS NO REAL, TANGIBLE, ASSETS!

THEY CANNOT ALLOCATE, APPROPRIATE, COMMAND, DICTATE, ASSETS EXCEPT MANUFACTURED, FIAT, DEBT and MONEY extricated from, to paraphrase deceased former NYC REAL ESTATE MOGUL, LEONA HELMSLEY:
  
"THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO PAY TAXES ARE THE LITTLE PEOPLE!"

Lilliputians!

Namely, you, I, suckers and assholes, CONSUMERS, as YOU are called, wherever and whomever you may be.

So everybody here bickers back and forth endlessly about TAXES, how much, how little, allocations, limited financial resources, etc.

BUT NEVER, EVER, ASSET TRANSFER, OWNERSHIP, despite ALL TAXPAYER public subsidies PRIVATE corporations receive keeping them afloat and RECIDIVIST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY maintaining their profitability, expanded empire, and, bloodsucking, price gouging, policies!

NEVER ONCE, BY ANYONE involved, MOST NOTABLY NOT OUR PARTNERED, INVESTED, COLLABORATIVE, FAKE LABOR UNIONS, KERNEL, ESSENCE, OF OUR PROBLEM!

How about STATE, COLLECTIVE, OWNERSHIP as a SOURCE OF INCOME??!!

That, according to our greatest Karl Rove/Soros supported Socialist SCAM artist, Bernie Sanders, is a non-starter, VERBOTEN!

WE DO NOT DO THAT HERE, EMPHATICALLY DECLARED SANDERS, erstwhile public servant of an energy industry! 

Instead, our scumbag politicians, WHORES, ALONG WITH THEIR PARTNERED AFL-CIA/SEIU LABOR TRASH, grovel at the feet of modern day SLAVE OWNERS imploring, begging, them to INVEST in this or that place with cheap labor, little, if any, tax, no limits of any sort, kind, so JOBS can be created!

They and it are an OBSCENITY!

Further, MANUAL labor gets DENIGRATED to the bottom of the heap as 2nd or 3rd class citizenship despite the fact precisely it is upon THIS labor which rests ALL else in our artificially created, man made, sanitized, human environment.

Indeed, Trump is correct.

ALL is FAKE NEWS, VOODOO FASCIST ECONOMICS, POLITICS, ESTABLISHMENT, THEATRE, EVERYTHING.

In other words, NO POWER TO THE PEOPLE exists!
ONLY a magical ILLUSION!

I MEAN REAL POWER, NOT artificial power exercised by pulling a lever in a voting booth.

ENERGY FROM SOURCE TO DISTRIBUTION IN ANY, EVERY, WAY, SHAPE, FORM, IT TAKES from GAS/OIL/SOLAR/HYDRO/PIPE/RAIL/STEEL/COAL/
ELECTRICAL PRODUCTION and more I have not named.

Unless we return to pre-industrial society, ENERGY GENERATION is fundamental, basic, to all else!

No reason exists NOT to have MORE THAN A FULL EMPLOYMENT SOCIETY, ECONOMY, AND, WORLD, IF, collectively, we could ALLOCATE natural and industrial resources, labor, here and abroad, AS NEEDED, appropriately, in a more equitable, balanced, distribution pattern, allotments, etc.

But, ABOVE represents a RATIONALLY PLANNED ECONOMY, ANTITHESIS, ANATHEMA, OF THAT WHICH CURRENTLY EXISTS.

And, therein lies a simple, fundamental, elementary, existential, truth, rub.

Without such a REVOLUTIONARY, INVERTED, POWER RELATIONSHIP, CHANGED PROPERTY OWNERSHIP, EXPANDED PUBLIC, DIMINISHED PRIVATE, SECTOR, NOTHING CAN, WILL, CHANGE FOR THE BETTER.

ONLY a continued downward spiral to exist, a race to the bottom.

NOT only, of course, the US.

A global catastrophe of unmitigated dimension!

US DROWNS IN ARTIFICIAL, MULTIPLE, MAN MADE DISASTERS; SOUTHERN US REAL ESTATE ASSET BUBBLE; WAR; 1930S US DUSTBOWL; SIEGE OF STALINGRAD & MORE

I can NOT comment on, discuss comprehensively, obviously, ALL the many factors contributing to what is happening at the moment in US, and, abroad, but, I thought to make a few very quick, brief, extemporaneous, remarks regarding MOST RECENT US events as indicated in my heading above as I watch primarily Gulf areas of the Southern US DROWN from combined man made catastrophes!

I am NOT talking solely or mostly about climate change, global warming, at this moment, which may be only a contributing, amongst many other, factor to these multiple disasters.

But, do NOT forget another, definitely related, enabling, man made ECONOMIC disaster, namely, US RAISED DEBT CEILING sailing thru Congress due to sudden and convenient STATES of emergency!

US taxpayers, that is, you and I, subsidize EVERYTHING, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, KEEPING AFLOAT, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY, PRIVATE RECIDIVIST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY INDIVIDUALS AND PRIVATE CORPORATIONS HERE AND ABROAD while everyone else DROWNS, literally, thanks to THEIR IRRATIONAL profit motive and ECONOMIC SYSTEM!

Before proceeding any further, on a personal note, I am NOT and never was situated in ANY flood, disaster, prone area of the country, never will be for OBVIOUS reasons, altho, I visited these areas a LONG, LONG, TIME AGO for a few extended stays, while chaffing at the bit to LEAVE!

However, I am well familiar with REAL ESTATE economic bubbles, speculation, development, expansion, BUILDING UPON these tropical, coastal, swampland, flood zone, low lying, hurricane prone, areas KNOWING FULL WELL where and how they are situated, WHICH, by the way, includes places like lower Manhattan, Long Island (farmland not TOO long ago), in greater NYC, etc.

ALL post WWII southern real estate development made possible by EXPANDED AUTOMOBILE DEPENDENCY AND its corresponding PUBLIC TAXPAYER HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.

Virtually NONE, IF ANY, limited, public transportation exists in all/most of these southern states, areas.

Those being the 2 MAIN factors permitting willy nilly rampant real estate development, MALLS, SHOPPING CENTERS, SPRAWLING SUBURBAN, LUXURY, HOMES, CONDOS, etc.

PRIVATE insurers, for the most part, do NOT offer flood insurance in these areas for GOOD reason, and, when flood insurance can be purchased it becomes exorbitantly expensive.

But, not to worry, the US government, i.e., taxpayers, you and I, during these "emergencies" ride to the rescue with numerous TAXPAYER funded resources, agencies, "humanitarian help, Homeland (in)Security, FEMA (Federal Emergency)," in multiple ways offsetting PRIVATE insurer losses, footing the bill for INFRASTRUCTURE re-construction so a lunatic, insane, cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Just one, amongst a long list of rackets, subsidizing PRIVATE GROWTH.

The list goes on and on and on, repetition and variations on a theme.

However, in this small post, I thought to remind others by highlighting just a few EARLIER, COMPLETELY MAN MADE, NATURAL DISASTERS, like, US MIDWEST 1930s agricultural DUSTBOWL, for which I provide just a snippet background link below, in case one is completely unfamiliar with its history.

And, of course, WAR!!
Plenty of that!

For THAT reason, I mention AS SYMBOLIC THE MOST HEROIC SIEGE OF STALINGRAD, LENINGRAD, inflicted upon the USSR, Russian people, (and others, of course), in WWII thanks to the COMBINED PRIVATE INTERESTS, SAME PROFIT motive, of those named consistently thruout my many entries AND their most recent INTERNATIONAL REACTIONARY, FASCIST, NAZI, CLONES, COLLABORATORS and their retrograde, barbaric, cannibalistic, SYSTEM!

I can, with assurance, advise EVERYONE on the globe, a US population NEVER, EVER, would be able to overcome circumstances experienced by those in Stalingrad, Leningrad, DURING THEIR WWII SIEGE, CATASTROPHE, DISASTER.

A US population would succumb in no time flat!

So, first, a brief Dust Bowl link to which I refer above:

Additionally, a gratuitous background SNIPPET regarding Stalingrad, Leningrad SIEGE:

Much more coming, I assure all.
