Another Example of Capitalism as a Failed System: World Capilalism Was Aware of the Danger of Cornovavirus Threat Over 5 Years Ago and Did Nothing!: Under Capitalism — Human Lives Don’t Matter Capitalism Does Not, and Never Has, Worked for the Masses! In Its Death Agony, Capitalism Is Traveling About The World Like The Four Horsemen of the The Apocalypse, Spreading Racism, War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death. The future of Humanity Is Now At stake!
Always Remember: That President Obama, With a Majority Democrat Legislature Supported the Wall Street Bailout and Remember, That he Established, in writing, the United States Capitalist Austerity Program. — The Race to the Bottom/Pauperization of the 99%!
Democracy?: As the Capitalist Robber Barons Steal from the 99%, Only the 1% Voted For Austerity! The 99% Should Decide On Austerity — Not Just The 1% Who, Profit From Austerity!! Under Austerity, All of the World Will Eventually Be Pauperized, Humbled, and Desecrated Like Greece and Puerto Rico.! Socialism Means True Democracy, that the 99% Will Rule, Not the Few!
Quotes of the Day:
The framers of the Constitution clearly did not believe that women should be accorded the full rights of citizenship, much less hold a Supreme Court seat. While the 19th Amendment finally gave women the right to vote in 1920, it is doubtful that the all-male Congress that wrote and passed the amendment would have been comfortable with a female Supreme Court justice. It took another 61 years before Sandra Day O’Connor was appointed to the bench. — Amy Coney Barrett: The Cruel Irony of a Female Originalist
Political language is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. — George Orwell

The United States is not a Democracy (A government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly)! Only the 1%, through. their ownership of the Reublicrats, who profit from war and the war budget, voted for War and the war budget — A policy, which Gore Vidal called a Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace. — The 99% Should Decide On War — Not Just The 1% Who Profit From War! Under a Democracy, The 99% would have the right to vote on the policy of Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace! Every ‘Tax. Reform’ From President Kennedy has Been an incrase in taxes from the Poor,the Woking Class, and the Middle Class, to the Rich! —The United States takes from the poor and gives to the Rich. Tax the Rich! — They Can Afford To Pay!
War, What is Good For? — Corporate Profits: Corporate America Cashed In on the Post-9/11 Pentagon Spending SurgeThe costs and consequences of America’s twenty-first-century wars have by now been well-documented — a staggering $8 trillion in expenditures and more than 380,000 civilian deaths, as calculated by Brown University’s Costs of War project. The question of who has benefited most from such an orgy of military spending has, unfortunately, received far less attention. Corporations large and small have left the financial feast of that post-9/11 surge in military spending with genuinely staggering sums in hand. After all, Pentagon spending has totaled an almost unimaginable $14 trillion-plus since the start of the Afghan War in 2001, up to one-half of which (catch a reath here) went directly to defense contractors
This year we’ve seen fires across the world which have released a record 4.7Gt of CO2-e so far in 2021 – more than the entire European Union. Fires contribute greatly to CO2, Methane and Black Carbon [soot] emissions, the three most impactful climate forcers. These fires are burning areas set aside by our corrupt political and economic classes as ‘carbon offsets’… an apparent (obvious) flaw in the plan. Fire is a massive threat in all current & future warming, and exponentially worse above 1.5C. At 1.8C, MORE THAN HALF of the land surface of the Earth is shaded red, indicating highly-elevated risk of fire destroying lives and life-sustaining ecosystems. The smoke can affect the lungs of millions of people traveling full-circle round the planet. These fires burn with such ferocity, they generate their own weather, forming Pyro-Cumulonimbus Clouds and extreme winds which propel the fire, draw up & spread embers 100s of kms away, and induce lightning strikes which ignite more burns. Simply put: the more fires there are, the more fires are created by this process; because the climate and ecological drivers have changed, many of these forested areas won’t grow back as forest but rather as savannah (or in the worst cases, deserts). That’s a “TIPPING POINT” if ever there was one.We’re witnessing the devastation of our planet and many rural communities at 1.2C. — Scientist Rebellion
Biden’s Global Climate Finance Pledge Likened to ‘Throwing Droplets at a Fire’ “Biden’s climate finance pledge today is extraordinarily insufficient.” “The U.S. is the biggest carbon polluter in history. We must pay our fair share
Avoiding Real Change: The Myth of Green Capitalism Capitalism’s DNA makes it unfit to cope with the fallout from climate change, which in no small part is the product of capitalism itself.Heat waves, floods, droughts, and wildfires are devastating communities around the world, and they will only grow more severe. While climate-change deniers remain powerful, the need for urgent action is now recognized well beyond activist circles. Governments, international organizations, and even business and finance are bowing to the inevitable—or so it seems.
‘Major gap.’ Gas industry FERC petitions Stoke NEPA Concerns “‘There’s a huge, gaping hole in the review of natural gas infrastructure,’ said Tracy Carluccio, deputy director of the Delaware Riverkeeper Network. ‘There could be many projects that completely evade FERC reviews and NEPA reviews’ depending on how the agency rules on the petitions.” The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is weighing proposals from several energy companies that could set a precedent for how the agency applies a bedrock environmental law to oversight of natural gas.
Clearcutting Yellowstone The Forest Service is proposing the South Plateau logging project with almost 9 square miles of clear-cuts, south and west of West Yellowstone. People should know what the area could look like while there’s still time to stop it. The Forest Service claimed that utter destruction, pictured above, in the Helena National Forest would be “forest restoration” supposedly intended to “protect Helena’s municipal water supply” from wildfire just like they are claiming that clear-cutting 8.6 square miles will restore the forest on the border of Yellowstone National Park and make it more resilient. But a picture is worth a thousand words: clear-cuts are not restoration. It is also well-documented that wildfires burn right through clear-cuts in Montana and across the West. Clear-cuts are full of highly flammable weeds, logs they didn’t want, and kindling-like slash, and the removal of the large fire-resistant trees and moisture-retaining, shade-creating forest canopy during logging leaves a landscape that is dramatically hotter, drier, and windier — precisely the type of conditions that increase the risk of wildfire ignition and spread.

Jerome Powell Will Face 17 Reporters Today at a Press Conference as the Fed Faces the Worst Trading Scandal in Its History. How Many Reporters Will Punt on the Topic? Michael Derby of the Wall Street Journal broke the story on September 7 that Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan was trading in and out of millions of dollars of individual stock positions in 2020. Last year was a year of unprecedented crisis when Kaplan was a voting member of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) and had access throughout the year to non-public, market-moving information.On September 18, Wall Street On Parade reported that Kaplan was not just trading individual stocks but was, astonishingly, also trading S&P 500 futures contracts in transactions of more than $1 million in 2020. The most popular and liquid S&P 500 futures contract is the E-mini, which can provide a trader with as much as 95 percent leverage. The stock exchanges are only open in the U.S. from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (EDT) weekdays, but the E-mini trades continuously from 6 p.m. Sunday night through 5 p.m. on Friday evening (EDT), allowing someone who might wish to trade on inside information far greater opportunities to do.

The government of the United States can pass laws in a few days to spend tens of trillions of dollars for war and the bailout of Wall Street and the bankers. Yet, those who pass universal healthcare for themselves, but cannot spend even one trillion dollars for universal health for those who are ‘governed’! This is what is considered, by the powers to be, a democracy and part of the democratic way. — Roland Sheppard, Let the People Vote on Healthcare!
Pharma Companies and The Covid-19 Vaccines Crisis A Double Dose of Inequality Executive Summary The rapid development of effective Covid-19 vaccines in 2020 gave hope to the world in the darkest days of the deadly pandemic. Ensuring vaccine access for as many people as quickly as possible is the most effective route out of this unprecedented health and human rights crisis. The handful of companies that developed these vaccines at record speeds could, and should, have been heroes, supplying doses fairly around the world and taking all necessary measures to ramp up production. This report assesses what major western vaccine makers did instead, tracing their business decisions that favored a small number of wealthier countries while blocking other manufacturers from producing their own vaccines. This resulted in predictable – and artificial – vaccine scarcity for the rest of the world. While Europe, the US and a handful of other states emerged from lockdown, enjoying vacations in the summer of 2021, parts of Africa, Asia, and Latin America plunged into renewed crises, pushing ill-equipped health systems to the brink and causing tens of thousands of preventable deaths every week. Of course, this is not only due to actions and omissions of the pharmaceutical industry. Rich states bought up the supply and hoarded doses. But the vaccine manufacturers have played a decisive role in limiting global vaccine production and obstructing fair access to a life-saving health product. Despite receiving billions of dollars in government funding and advance orders which effectively removed risks normally associated with the development of medicines, vaccine developers have monopolized intellectual property, blocked technology transfers, and lobbied aggressively against measures that would expand the global manufacturing of these vaccines. Some companies – Pfizer, BioNTech, and Moderna – have so far delivered almost exclusively to rich countries, putting profit before access to health for all. The path to a more rapid and fair vaccine roll-out is clear. The People’s Vaccine Alliance, of which Amnesty International is a member, has outlined the steps needed for vaccines to be produced rapidly at scale and made available for all people, in all countries, free of charge. The World Health Organization has launched several initiatives to try to get states and companies to pool resources to speed up the production and fair distribution of Covid-19 vaccines. But a nexus of wealthy states and powerful corporations remain unwilling to cooperate in these initiatives, severely undermining their effectiveness.
COVID Has Now Claimed More Lives Than the 1918 Flu Pandemic in the US Simple mitigation measures like wearing masks as recommended by the CDC could have saved hundreds of thousands of lives. The United States passed a grim milestone this week, as the total number of deaths related to coronavirus surpassed the number who died in the country in the 1918 flu pandemic.
