"ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN"- WHAT DOES IT SAY, AND WHY SHOULD WE LISTEN?

 https://youtu.be/l1utJDGHaq8



LYRICS TAKEN FROM THE SONG- "ONE HUNDRED CHILDREN."

"DON'T BLOW UP THE WORLD, DON'T KILL ALL THE FLOWERS, TODAY THIS IS YOUR WORLD, TOMORROW IT'S OURS. LEAVE US PURE WATER AND FORESTS UNCUT, THINK OF TOMORROW, LEAVE SOMETHING FOR US." 

A song with a message, nothing unique about that. HOWEVER, THIS SONG WAS RELEASED IN 1972, BY THE LEGENDARY TOM T. HALL.

THE CHILDREN REFERRED TO IN THE SONG WHEN IT WAS RELEASED ARE ALL GROWN UP NOW...

...AND IT IS US. 

DO WE CARRY ON AND LIVE UP TO THE MESSAGE IN THE SONG, OR ARE WE GOING TO TURN OUR BACKS, AND NOT DO WHAT WAS DONE FOR US SO MANY YEARS AGO?

QUESTION FROM QUORA.COM: WHY DO TRUMP SUPPORTERS CONTINUALLY LIE?




MY ANSWER:

They lie because the Truth offers no comfort to their empty existence.

Trump offered the following: “There is no need to think, no need to understand. Just obey, like good little Mindless Drones, and I will fulfill your Fascist Dreams.”

The groups listed below are not Americans who were looking for a True Leader, but someone who would justify their Irrational and Delusional view of life. Trump is Evil, but he didn’t create the people who support him, he just exploits them. His SOCIOPATHY MATCHES THE INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL EMPTINESS OF THEIR LIVES.

*Donald Trump was able to build a Foundation of Support, Tenuous as it may be, because he convinced the RACISTS, BIGOTS, MISOGYNISTS etc., to come together and HATE AS ONE GROUP. Even though he has never come close to a working majority, a SHAM ELECTION AND THE TACIT APPROVAL OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PARTY has allowed this "COALITION OF HATE" TO BLOSSOM INTO A FLOWER OF EVIL.

*From the Article “THE HATE CHRONICLES.” ON SEARCHINGFORREASON.NET

TRUMPS TAX RETURNS: SHORT SUBJECT. (TWITTER)

 A TRUMPIAN SAYS:

Mark R. Levin
Trump’s tax returns are, in truth, terrific. Now, let’s get the Pelosi, Schumer, Biden S Corp, Roberts, Garland, and all the others!

HERE IS WHAT I SAY:
Yes, he inherits money very well, and loses it in great numbers. Trump is the Poster Child for the Anti-Capitalist/Rich Mans Welfare system. Bad Investment? Tough luck, here is your money back. The American Public is footing the Bill.

Of course, we could go after all the recent presidents who didn't release their TAX RETURNS. Oh wait, they did.

MY EVALUATION. PART 2: FINAL REPORT Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

 



THE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY.

Starts with the Testimony of an OATHKEEPER on why they were in the Capitol that day, and what motivated them:

"...were provoked to travel to Washington by President Donald Trump’s tweets and by Trump’s false claims that the 2020 Presidential election was “stolen” from him."

When asked by prosecutors to characterize his behavior that day, He Said:

 "I guess I was [acting] like a traitor, somebody against my own government."

The Executive Summary goes on to relate that many defendants who were charged for their behavior on Jan,6th expressed the same regrets and sense of shame for the criminal activities they engaged in. More Important, it seems Donald Trumps words and actions were just about the only motivating factor that triggered their behavior.

The Committee then summarized its conclusions; 

"This Report supplies an immense volume of information and testimony assembled through the Select Committee’s investigation, including information obtained following litigation in Federal district and appellate courts, as well as in the U.S. Supreme Court. Based upon this assembled evidence, the Committee has reached a series of specific findings, including the following:"

1- Beginning election night and continuing through January 6th and thereafter, Donald Trump purposely disseminated false allegations of fraud related to the 2020 Presidential election...

2- Knowing that he and his supporters had lost dozens of election lawsuits, and despite his own senior advisors refuting his election fraudclaims and urging him to concede his election loss, Donald Trumprefused to accept the lawful result of the 2020 election.

3- Despite knowing that such an action would be illegal...Donald Trump corruptly pressured Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to count electoral votes during Congress’s joint session on January 6th.

4- Donald Trump sought to corrupt the U.S. Department of Justice by attempting to enlist Department officials to make purposely false statements...

5- ...Donald Trump unlawfully pressured State officials and legislators to change the results of the election in their States.

6- Donald Trump oversaw an effort to obtain and transmit false electoral certificates to Congress and the National Archives.

7- Donald Trump pressured Members of Congress to object to valid slates of electors from several States. 

8- Donald Trump purposely verified false information filed in Federal court.

9- Based on false allegations that the election was stolen, Donald Trump summoned tens of thousands of supporters to Washington...Donald Trump instructed them to march to the Capitol on January 6th to “take back” their country.

10- Knowing that a violent attack on the Capitol was underway and knowing that his words would incite further violence, Donald Trump purposely sent a social media message publicly condemning Vice President Pence at 2:24 p.m. on January 6th. 

11. Knowing that violence was underway at the Capitol, and despite his duty to ensure that the laws are faithfully executed, Donald Trump refused repeated requests over a multiple hour period that he instruct his violent supporters to disperse and leave the Capitol, and instead watched the violent attack unfold on television. This failure to act perpetuated the violence at the Capitol and obstructed Congress’s proceeding to count electoral votes.

MY ANALYSIS- This is pretty straightforward. DONALD TRUMP WAS, LITERALLY, THE SOLE INSTIGATOR OF THE JAN 6TH ATTACK ON THE CAPITOL.

In fact, it seems he delegated very little of the actual Criminal Behavior to subordinates.

- The Planning.

- The Justification.

- The Threats and Intimidation.

- Attempted Corruption of 

Government Employees to go along

 with the plan.

All of this comes from him directly, although he 

did remain quiet about one thing: The Initial pleas

for him to go on the air and urge his supporters to stop the 

violence, and leave the capitol. He did nothing for hours, but just 

watched it on TV.

The fact DONALD TRUMP had no evidence that the election was stolen

from him, and that he lost every court case, meant nothing. All that mattered

is what he wanted*, and no U.S. CONSTITUTION WAS GOING TO GET IN HIS WAY.

I think Benedict Arnold was an amateur compared to this guy. Arnold wanted to betray West Point 

to the British. TRUMP WANTED TO BETRAY THE ENTIRE COUNTRY TO ITS ENEMIES,

 FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC.

SEE PART 3.


 

*Also what his overseas allies, along with Fascist Element of the GOP, wanted.

   But that's another story.

BLAST FROM THE PAST. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS IMMIGRATION SPEECH: INTRODUCTION.

 As I expected, the MAGATS are turning to the ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION CARD to help MISDIRECT ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE ANTI-CONSTITUTION RHETORIC THAT INFECTS MUCH OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. After all, if you CAN NOT LEGALLY, INTELLECTUALLY AND/OR MORALLY JUSTIFY THE ACTIONS OF DER FUEHRER TRUMP, AND HIS GANG OF FASCIST UNDERLINGS, ATTACK A GROUP WITH LITTLE IF ANY POLITICAL POWER, WHO LITERALLY CAN'T FIGHT BACK.

Does it matter that it has nothing to do with the CRIMINAL ACTIVITIES, and  ATTEMPTED COVER-UPS OF THE GOP CRIME SYNDICATE? Nope. Rally your dwindling supporters by misdirecting their already limited attention span from events that are actually harming the American People, to a crisis you have manufactured, ignoring the following:

THAT THE PROBLEM OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS NO DIFFERENT NOW THEN IT WAS UNDER TRUMP, OBAMA, BUSH, CLINTON etc., The only real difference, was the proposed ways of dealing with it. We know what TRUMP, DESANTIS, ABBOTT and the rest of the NEO-NAZIS would do, but there is another way. However, that would have meant listening to the countries first BLACK PRESIDENT, AND USING RATIONAL AND WELL-REASONED SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE U.S. AS A NATION NOW, AND FAR IN THE FUTURE. (That would have made the country even stronger, but RUSSIA would not stand for that, and we know what that led to in 2016.)

So, as a reminder to DEMOCRATS AND OTHER PROGRESSIVES, HERE IS PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMAS IMMIGRATION SPEECH, AND MY COMMENTARY. (BROKEN DOWN INTO SECTIONS, AND REPUBLISHED ONE AT A TIME.)

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

QUICK HITTERS.

POST #16.  NOT AIRING PRESIDENT OBAMAS IMMIGRATION SPEECH.
I WONDER WHY?
(First Published on 11/21/2014.)

Obama, Barack Obama, President, Man

What a Proud moment for CBS, NBC, ABC AND FOX.  Deciding not to give the President 10-15 minutes Air Time to explain his Decision regarding Immigration. After all, no one really cares, right?

I mean, how important is it to hear what the President has to say on the Issue, before passing Judgment?  It's not like opponents will pick and choose certain areas of the Text to Criticize, and take them out of context.

That has never been done before.

It wouldn't be something like a Public Service to have the President of this Great Nation, Speaking Live and Direct to its Citizens on an Issue of Historic Importance?

Opponents will never use a snub like this, to claim that there is some kind of CONSPIRACY BY THE PRESIDENT, to avoid speaking to a National Audience. IT DOESN'T MATTER THAT HE ASKED FOR THE TIME, AND WAS TURNED DOWN. THEY SAY HE REALLY DIDN'T WANT IT.  SO, IF THE PRESIDENT WAS REALLY HONEST, HE WOULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR ANY TIME AT ALL.

OPPONENTS CLAIM THAT MAKING HIS CASE TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WAS SOMETHING HE NEVER WANTED TO DO.  THEREFORE, ACCORDING TO THIS REASONING,  ASKING FOR FACE TIME WITH THE CITIZENS OF THE U.S., WAS A WAY NOT TO GET IT.
(Yes, there are those who are pushing this incredibly Convoluted Nonsense, to let the NETWORKS OFF THE HOOK.)

But we know this often happened to past Presidents , being turned down for requested time to address the Nation.

Now where is that Classic Piece of Mindless Drivel that says there is a Liberal Bias in the Media?

OH, IT WAS EXEMPLIFIED LAST NIGHT.

Good thing Corporate America is around to protect us, from anything we might hear the President say. 

Date-  11/21/2014.

PRESIDENT OBAMAS IMMIGRATION SPEECH: COMPARE THIS TO DONALD TRUMPS "IMMIGRATION POLICY." PART 1.

 INTRODUCTION:  AS THE U.S. CONTINUES TO GRAPPLE WITH DONALD TRUMPS "POLICIES," I THOUGHT A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE WOULD SHOW US HOW THEN PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA ATTEMPTED TO ADDRESS THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM. 



(First Published on 11/25/2014.)

Obama, Barack Obama, President, Man


Let's try a Novel Approach. Ignoring what the Political Pundits on Television and the Radio Have to say, and actually READ THE TRANSCRIPT FROM PRESIDENT OBAMAS IMMIGRATION SPEECH.


It is available online.  So, if you are interested, why not Download it, before passing Judgment.

The following Posts on this Topic, are my Thoughts and Opinions taken directly from the Transcript.

Let's get started.

He opens by praising the Two- Hundred Year+ History of the U.S. welcoming Immigrants from around the World, and the Advantages it has given the Country over other Nations.

However, he goes on to say:

"...Today, our immigration system is broken, and everybody knows it.  Families who enter our country the right way and play by the rules watch others flout the rules.  Business owners who offer their workers good wages and benefits see the competition exploit undocumented immigrants by paying them less."

From this passage we can take the following;

-  The President is acknowledging the State of the Immigration System, AND THE NEED FOR IT TO BE FIXED.

-  That the way the system is currently operated victimizes;  Legal Immigrants who follow the Law, and Honest Business Owners who offer good wages and benefits, who see competitors using undocumented workers to save money.

The President goes on to say;

"All of us take offense to anyone who reaps the rewards of living in America without taking on the responsibilities of living in America."

-  In other words, the Advantages and Responsibilities go hand and hand.  With one comes the other.

LOOK FOR PART 2.

I WAS ASKED TO ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTION ON QUORA.COM: HOW CAN WE CREATE A MORE PATRIOTIC CITIZENRY?



MY ANSWER:

I have avoided answering any question regarding “PATRIOTISM.” Why? It’s a word that cannot really be defined in a way that is truly descriptive of a specific type of citizen.

How many people would agree that the following would be expected of a Patriot.

  • Love of Country.

Do you love your country if you violate its Constitution?

Do you love your country if you are against its foreign policy?

Do you love your country if you cheat on your taxes?

Do you love your country if you choose to Abuse or Take advantage

of other citizens?

…and so on.

Guess what, we would find individuals claiming to be DIE HARD PATRIOTS,

who would say the opposition does not truly love their country, on all sides

of each issue.

To me, and it’s my opinion, a TRUE PATRIOT STANDS BACK, AND SAYS:

“I BELIEVE MY COUNTRY MUST COME FIRST, AND IT MAY MEAN THAT I MUST MAKE A SACRIFICE THAT WOULD ALLOW IT TO THRIVE. THIS MEANS CONSIDERING THE NEEDS AND WANTS OF OTHER CITIZENS WHICH ARE CONTRARY TO MY BELIEFS AND/OR MY DESIRES. HOWEVER, IF MY GOVERNMENT WANTS ME TO ALLOW THIS TO OCCUR, I EXPECT MY GOVERNMENT TO ENSURE THAT THEY DO THE SAME FOR ME. IF I EXPECT GOVERNMENT TO BE THERE FOR ME IN TIMES OF HARDSHIP, I WILL SUPPORT IT DOING THE SAME FOR OTHERS.

I REALIZE THAT GOVERNMENT MAY PASS OR ENACT LAWS THAT MAY BE CONTRARY TO WHAT I WANT, BUT I WILL CONSIDER THIS: IS IT DONE TO VICTIMIZE ME, OR IS IT DONE TO MAKE SOCIETY A BETTER PLACE FOR ALL TO LIVE IN. FREEDOM DOES NOT MEAN DOING ANYTHING I WANT, TO WHOMEVER I WANT, AND EXPECTING GOVERNMENT TO TURN A BLIND EYE.

HOWEVER, MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL: WE ARE NOT AMERICANS, CHRISTIANS, MOSLEMS, EUROPEANS, ASIANS.etc.,…FIRST…WE ARE HUMANITY FIRST AND FOREMOST, ALL THE REST IS JUST CATEGORIZING US. A TRUE PATRIOT REALIZES THAT THEY ARE CITIZENS OF THE HUMAN RACE FIRST, AND CITIZENS OF A COUNTRY SECOND. START WITH DEFINING HUMAN RIGHTS, AND GO FROM THERE.”

DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS. Climate change is fueling disease outbreaks around the world.

 




Dear David,

Unusually heavy monsoon rains in Pakistan have left one-third of the country underwater and impacted the lives of over 33 million people in a country whose health system has long struggled to meet the overwhelming need for care.

With more than 1,800 staff currently active in the country—97 percent of whom are locally hired—Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) was able to quickly respond to the crisis, putting Aid First for patients in need. But the destruction caused by the floods was only the first obstacle we faced; since August, MSF staff on the ground have seen a spike in mosquito- and water-borne diseases like malaria and dengue fever as a direct result of the flooding.


The situation we see unfolding in Pakistan is just one symptom of a much larger problem: climate change is making extreme weather like this more and more frequent—and the countries that are least equipped to deal with the consequences are the ones that are the most affected.

We rely on the generous support of our donors to ensure we can stay prepared to respond to climate-induced disasters like these and more. But with extreme weather becoming more common in the places we work, we anticipate that the need for our care
will only grow in the future. We need your help to stay prepared for the unexpected.

Make a generous, tax-deductible gift before midnight on December 31, and it’ll be MATCHED to provide twice the support for MSF teams putting Aid First around the WORLD.

MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM TEXAS: REICHSFUEHRER ABBOTT HAS A "FASCIST CHRISTMAS, " AS TEXANS FREEZE TO DEATH.

When your state has no real opposition party, a petty tyrant like Abbott could care less about things like Human Rights. Doing this on Christmas: Tell me again about those GOD-FEARING CHRISTIANS IN THE GOP. It's nice to see that ABBOTT is doing his best to emulate JUDAS.

REMIND ME AGAIN: HOW MANY POLITICAL REFUGEES STORMED THE CAPITOL ON JANUARY 6th, AND TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT?

COMMENTS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM TWITTER.


On Christmas Eve,

decided to make a political statement by dumping three busloads of migrants on the doorstep of the Vice President, never mind that temperatures were well below freezing.

What kind of leader thinks this is the right thing to do? What kind of person?


Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is s scumbag. We knew this, so why is everyone shocked he bused migrants and asylum seekers to the VP's house in DC?


Dear Texans voted for Greg Abbott, Merry Christmas... As Texans freeze (Again) Govenor Greg Abbott springs into action. ON Christmas Eve he sends some 30 landed immigrants to VP Kamala Harris's house. Y'all warm and cozy yet?


On this Christmas, I take solace in knowing Greg Abbott will burn in hell when his days on earth are done.


How many Texans does it take to keep the lights on?We don't know. Greg Abbott doesn't spend any money on the power grid!


Buses of migrants dropped outside VP Kamala Harris' home on Christmas Eve in frigid temps in a cruel stunt by Greg Abbott The irony of Republicans about to celebrate Christmas - the story of a brown, immigrant family seeking shelter but being turned away.

To ease the strain on the Texas Power Grid, We should start by cutting off electricity to the homes of everyone who voted for Greg Abbott back in November.


To all of you who voted for Abbott, please turn off your power so decent people can stay warm.

So far, w/the exception of only 1 or 2 counties, a majority of power outages are in counties where Abbott won a large majority of the vote. I hope all of those voters can stay safe and warm, but then again, you get what you vote for.



Greg Abbott will probably run for president it is now a race between Abbott and DeSantis on who can be more hateful and racist for the MAGA-deranged conservative CULT


100,000 without power in Texas and Abbott a “Good Christian” pulls another cruel political stunt.

On Christmas Eve, Greg Abbott couldn’t help himself and decided to be a huge a**hole again.

Abbot’s stunt is cruel and inhumane. Those that put him back in office share in that cruelty.

It’s a good thing all those unwanted babies will have the opportunity to freeze to death or get shot this Christmas. Thanks to Greg Abbott!

The party of oh, so pious Christianity. How Christian to dump children in sub-freezing temps.

On Christmas Eve as Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus, the son who saved mankind, drops children and adults on the the street in freezing cold - no shelter, no food - in the midst of a "bomb cyclone." No one who supports this can call themselves Christian.

He has a bitter soul and wants NO ONE to be happy. Especially those who have the least, those seeking asylum!


THERE ARE MANY MORE, BUT YOU GET THE MESSAGE.
VILE, DISGUSTING...WELL, THAT'S THE GOP.

HITLER AND STALIN WOULD BE SO PROUD.
