I believe somebody (or somebodies) have hacked this website (since this is the third time I've tried to reply to Islota and the other two what I typed never got posted even though I had signed on beforehand)...

I. e., it isn't as though some of us can't come together for our and our peoples best interests anymore;
it's more like others are trying to stop us...

So be ever cautious...

Ever wary...

Also:

"Get up--stand up--don't give up the fight-!"

FYI...

Desegregation was a gamble...

Obviously only individuals have benefited from it...

So we'll have to come up with new means and ways that advance our peoples best interests again anyhow...

FYI...

Capitalism is logical, capitalists do rip off the whole rest of the world, and they do get away with because of ignorance. Man, you could not have more accurately summed up our World System.

Capitalism is a well thought out system that accomplishes exactly what it was designed to do --- con the majority of humanity into working like mules for a small minority, while also convincing that majority that working like mules for somebody else is how a "responsible" citizen functions.

I mean, think about it. The wealthiest capitalists tend to also be the laziest and least productive of all citizens. The lazy SOBs do not produce anything of value for society. They hire mules to do that. The SOBs will not even open their own doors. You go over to their crib, knock on their door, and who opens it? Not the rich SOB. He pays someone else to do even that for him.

And, how does this wealthy capitalist pay the people who work like mules for him? He pays them with fiat currency -- money that is literally not worth the paper it is printed on.

Why does the majority of humanity agree to work like mules in exchange for worthless paper? Because of capitalism's biggest con --- Fractional Banking. The "fractional" means that the banks [owned by the aformentioned SOBs, of course] create fiat currency out of thin air as required.

Here is how the quite logical con of capitalism works. The mules, after working like slaves for the laziest of all capitalists, get paid with a piece of paper called a paycheck, The mules take that piece of paper to the SOB's bank and the bank exchanges it for fiat currency which is quite literally created out of thin air [via zeros in a computer database] upon demand.

But, the scam does not end there. The mules then turn right around and give that fiat currency right back into the pockets of the SOBs in the form of rent payments, mortgage notes, taxes, utlitily bills, grocery bills, and fuel prices.

Capitalism --- a system only ignorant mules and lazy SOBs could love.

But the system changed around 1900.

That is when CONSUMERISM started. But we keep using the term capitalism and some of the changes that consumerism brought get swept under the rug. Something called Progressive Obsolescence was coined in the 1920's and Planned Obsolescence in 1940. Between the two was The Depression where Keynes introduced the Gross National Product. What we almost never hear about it the Net National Product or what today would be called Net Domestic Product.

When we buy cars they get added to GDP and economists call that economic growth. But cars go out of style and wear out so the NET WORTH of the buyer goes down. But the economists don't suggest mandatory accounting for the schools so everyone would know what net worth is.

Consumerism is like buying your way into slavery. That is what credit cards are for.

So economists don't talk about the DEPRECIATION of all of the junk we buy.
