Society Is In Decay – When The Worst Is First & The Best Is Last
If you want to see where a country’s priorities lie, look at how it allocates its money
Plutocrats like to control the range of permissible public dialogue. Plutocrats also like to shape what society values. If you want to see where a country’s priorities lie, look at how it allocates its money.
While teachers and nurses earn comparatively little for performing critical jobs, corporate bosses including those who pollute our planet and bankrupt defenseless families, make millions more. Wells Fargo executives are cases in point. The vastly overpaid CEO of General Electric left his teetering company in shambles. In 2019, Boeing’s CEO got a bonus (despite the Lion Air Flight 610 737 Max 8 crash in 2018). Just days before a second deadly 737 Max 8 crash in Ethiopia.
This disparity is on full display in my profession. Public interest lawyers and public defenders, who fight daily for a more just and lawful society, are paid modest salaries. On the other hand, the most well compensated lawyers are corporate lawyers who regularly aid and abet corporate crime, fraud, and abuse. Many corporate lawyers line their pockets by shielding the powerful violators from accountability under the rule of law.
Physicians who minister to the needy poor and go to the risky regions, where Ebola or other deadly infectious diseases are prevalent, are paid far less than cosmetic surgeons catering to human vanities. Does any rational observer believe that the best movies and books are also the most rewarded? Too often the opposite is true. Stunningly gripping documentaries earn less than 1 percent of what is garnered by the violent, pornographic, and crude movies at the top of the ratings each week.
On my weekly radio show, I interview some of the most dedicated authors who accurately document perils to health and safety. The authors on my program expose pernicious actions and inactions that jeopardize people’s daily lives. These guests offer brilliant, practical solutions for our widespread woes (see ralphnaderradiohour.com). Their important books, usually go unnoticed by the mass media, barely sell a few thousand copies, while the best-seller lists are dominated by celebrity biographies. Ask yourself, when preventable and foreseeable disasters occur, which books are more useful to society?
The monetary imbalance is especially jarring when it comes to hawks who beat the drums of war. For example, people who push for our government to start illegal wars (eg. John Bolton pushing for the war in Iraq) are rewarded with top appointments. Former government officials also get very rich when they take jobs in the defense industry. Do you remember anyone who opposed the catastrophic Iraq War getting such lucrative rewards?
The unknown and unrecognized people who harvest our food are on the lowest rung of the income ladder despite the critical role they play in our lives. Near the top of the income ladder are people who gamble on the prices of food via the commodities market and those who drain the nutrients out of natural foods and sell the junk food that remains, with a dose of harmful additives. Agribusiness tycoons profit from this plunder.
Those getting away with major billing fraud grow rich. While those people trying to get our government to do something about $350 billion dollars in health care billing fraud this year – like Harvard Professor Malcolm K. Sparrow – live on a college professor’s salary.
Hospital executives, who each make millions of dollars a year, preside over an industry where about 5,000 patients die every week from preventable problems in U.S. hospitals, according to physicians at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The watchdogs who call out this deadly hazard live on a fraction of that amount as they try to save lives.
Even in sports, where people think the best athletes make the most money, the reverse is more often true. Just ask a red-faced Brian Cashman, the Yankees GM, who, over twenty years, has spent massive sums on athletes who failed miserably to produce compared to far lesser-paid baseball players. Look at today’s top ranked Yankees – whose fifteen “stars” are injured, while their replacements are playing spectacularly for much smaller compensation than their high priced teammates.
A major reason why our society’s best are so often last while our worst are first is the media’s infatuation with publicizing the worst and ignoring the best. Warmongers get press. The worst politicians are most frequently on the Sunday morning TV shows – not the good politicians or civic leaders with proven records bettering our society.
Ever see Congressman Pascrell (Dem. N.J.) on the Sunday morning news shows? Probably not. He’s a leader who is trying to reform Congress so that it is open, honest, capable and represents you the people. Surely you have heard of Senator Lindsey Graham (Rep. S.C.) who is making ugly excuses for Donald Trump, always pushing for war and bloated military budgets, often hating Muslims and Arabs and championing the lawless American Empire. He is always in the news, having his say.
Take the 162 people who participated in our Superbowl of Civic Action at Constitution Hall in Washington D.C. in May and September 2016. These people have and are changing America. They are working to make food, cars, drugs, air, water, medical devices, and drinking water safer. Abuses by corporations against consumers, workers and small taxpayers would be worse without them. Our knowledge of solutions and ways to treat people fairly and abolish poverty and advance public services is greater because of their courageous hard work. (see breakingthroughpower.org).
The eight days of this Civic Superbowl got far less coverage than did Tiger Woods losing another tournament that year or the dismissive nicknames given by the foul-mouth Trump to his mostly wealthy Republican opponents on just one debate stage.
All societies need play, entertainment, and frivolity. But a media obsessed with giving 100 times the TV and radio time, using our public airwaves for free, to those activities than to serious matters crucial to the most basic functioning of our society is assuring that the worst is first and the best is last. Just look at your weekly TV Guide.
If the whole rotted-out edifice comes crashing down, there won’t be enough coerced taxpayer dollars anymore to save the Plutocrats, with their limitless greed and power. Maybe then the best can have a chance to be first.

I’m like Trump in that I want to go back to the 50s too. A child of that decade, no one wanted for much. But unlike the Grifter I see no possibility of avoiding the scarcity of the coming decades. It is getting time to cover in place in simplicity. That will take a certain type of sapience that is no longer common, perhaps in a reservation somewhere.
Davy on Sun, 2nd Jun 2019 5:44 pm
Pretty lame comment MOBster. Somehow I think you feel betrayed but can’t admit it. What happened with the disgusting Mueller witch hunt was sloppiness and recklessness. Nobody thought Trump would win so everyone was careless. After Trump won then it was damage control with an attempted coup. To this day the dims are still in denial of their transgressions all because of the politics of hatred and resentment. Liberals have trashed themselves and now they are a rudderless MOB.

Trump is the poster-boy for the worst case scenario today. The dumbed down. drugged up, delusional tax slaves suck down brainwashing propaganda 24/7/365 and think they live in Disney America when reality is more like an English speaking Bangladesh. Rats, human shit, drug needles, suicide, homelessness, crappy food, poisoned water and on and on.
Davy/MOB play at knowing but they never get outside their little world of delusion. Most Americans never leave their state and certainly not their country. They have only a warped view of the rest of the world and will be blindsided when the SHTF. Well deserved, by the way. Soon, I hope.
BTW: I give Trump a 90% chance of being reelected.

The Mueller investigation IMO was just to scape-goat Russia and make them the the new enemy..Since ISIS was destroyed last year..It wasn’t to go after Trump..Hell Trump increased the military budget..And you have to have an enemy to justify all that money being spent don’t you? Well now Putin and Russia are the new excuse..
Trump is the most disliked president in US history..He will get his ass kicked in 2020 because the dems won’t sit on their hands this time..

The dims are a bunch of idiots.

All I see is rabid dogs howling and gnashing their teeth. This is really bad for the country. Progressives are supposed to be educated and rational but not anymore.

Sissyfuss, you can find that kind of culture if you get out of the greedy US. You need to go to where the people live that way now and are self sufficient. I live in a place like that so I know it is possible. Moving down the ladder is not easy for an American. You need to get away from the constant commercials and “keeping up with the neighbors” situation.
Yes, I agree, the 50s was a wonderful time to be living in the US. The degradation began in the 70s when dollars turned from gold to paper. When radio turned into TV. When capitalists realized they could sell more if everything wore out/broke down sooner. Greed took over America. I watch it self-destruct more and more every day. So sad. America had it all and blew it on worthless junk and an impossible lifestyle. Now they will pay the price.
makati1 on Sun, 2nd Jun 2019 6:37 pm
Onlooker, most other countries have a very long history and a culture to hold them together. The US has some history and zero culture. Nothing to hold it together but faith in the government and the dollar. Both are rapidly deteriorating.
Distraction is the name of the game now. They avoid reality as long as possible thru social fluff on the internet, petty politics in the news and many drugs. Lots of drugs. Not a pretty sight when you have to put up signs saying “Curb Your Human”. lol
I live in the so called “third world” but Americans do also. They just deny it, but soon it will be impossible to avoid the pain. Less than 1% are prepared for what is coming. I hope you are one of them.
DerHundistLos on Sun, 2nd Jun 2019 6:40 pm
Never before has the opposition party turned out more votes in an off-year election than the total votes received by the incumbent president. That is until the Midterm election of 2018. Trump liked to boast that the election was a referendum on him and brother was it. The Democratic resistance turned out more votes than the total vote count Trump received in 2016, despite the largest case of voter fraud in decades as the Republicans got caught stuffing ballot boxes in North Carolina.
Trump is doing all he can to simply hold onto his base of support. Just last week, Trump announced the federal government will pay-out billions more dollars in aid to farmers devastated by his tariff policy. Several months ago, Trump approved an emergency pay-off to farmers of $16 BILLION. He just approved a further pay-off of another $8 BILLION, all in an obvious effort to buy votes with tax dollars.
DerHundistLos on Sun, 2nd Jun 2019 6:45 pm
Siss-
Trump has a sense of what’s to come, but outside of his family circle he doesn’t give a crap.
Donald Trump is the personification of the expression attributed to King Louis XV, “Après moi, le déluge” or “After me, the catastrophe”. He knows this all too well, which explains why the Grifter in Chief is doing everything possible to take advantage of his position and grab it all before it disappears forever, and The Dear Leader’s Republican congressional enablers could care less about the national and global ramifications. In the final analysis, greed and power “trump” all other considerations.

George Carlin:
“Forget the politicians. The politicians are put there to give you the idea you have freedom of choice. You don’t. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land, they own and control the corporations that’ve long since bought and paid for, the senate, the congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pocket, and they own all the big media companies so they control just about all of the news and the information you get to hear. They got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want. They want more for themselves and less for everybody else. But I’ll tell you what they don’t want. They don’t want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don’t want well informed, well educated people capable of critical thinking. They’re not interested in that. That doesn’t help them.”

The Great Satan has discovered a new prey: Britain.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7097209/The-NHS-not-sale-Health-Secretary-hits-Ambassador.html
“The NHS is not for sale’: Health Secretary hits back after US Ambassador says healthcare should be on the table in any transatlantic post-Brexit trade talks”
Claims by the US ambassador that America would want access to the NHS as part of any post-Brexit trade deal prompted a huge backlash last night.
Britain is going to be stripped naked by the US.
After 1945, they took the British empire apart (after they used Britain and Poland as the useful idiot to get the war started in US interest)…
https://documents1940.wordpress.com/2017/09/25/chamberlain-and-the-forrestal-diaries/
…now the Frankenstein Monster is going to take the country itself apart.
To my immense (and pleasant) surprise the best rated reader comment is:
“And so it begins. Trump, Farage and Boris. The NHS will be broken up, sold and those with money will benefit. Brexit “no matter the cost” is a mistake. It’s time to stop.”
pro 571
con 259
Just sign, lads, in your own best interest.You are too small to stand on your own feet. Remaining integrated in the EU economy means being integrated in the world’s region with highest standards. Post-Brexit you can play empire again, a little, with Canada and New England for instance.
These stupid greedy US “diplomats” are leaning too far out of the window, too early. Now the notorious Europe-hating Brits get nervous. They are now stuck between a rock and a hard place. Amusing, if there wasn’t so much at stake.
This US overture won’t do the Brexit cause, essentially breaking up the European peace order, any good.

The classic: Chris Hedges, “America the Farewell Tour”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tPk9HSLagVg
Leftist Hedges is smart, but I disagree with his notion that immigration has nothing to do with the decline of America. It is core and center of that development, but racial Marxist Hedges is too blind to see that.
But he is correct that the US empire and probably the country as well, are over.

“Trump UK visit – live: President told ‘the world will know British people reject him’ amid huge protest threat minutes before arrival”
The Trumpsters dash off to England and huge protests are likely, adding to the total state of confusion the country is in. Anglo or European after all? The Americans, with the diplomatic qualities of a rhinoceros, are salivating at the thought to rake in the hapless English. My hunch is that this visit won’t do much good to the chances of BoJo-Farage and their no-deal Brexit strategy.

The European left is beginning to realize it is on the way out, if they keep embracing foreigners and multicult. It happened in France, Holland, Italy and now Germany. The social-democrats are out, because they saw in the global darkie the new electorate continuation of their power. Wrong strategy, whitey is defecting and the left is stuck with archaic, Islamo-fascists, who hate women and poofters. You can’t make this stuff up!
We’re almost there, the Great Emancipation by Europe from the globalist empire.
The challenge is to keep the lot together and rearm and connect to Russia. If necessary Europe needs to be reconstituted on the basis of a military alliance France-Germany-Russia. No more “soft power”…

A different perspective on the world today: “The Communist New Silk Road is being run by Israel-Russia and China… Russian-speaking Jews who arrived in Israel over the past 20 years have integrated little, but influenced everything from culture to politics… Anthony Moulton delves into the international politics between Israel, China and Russia, in this two part investigation into under-reported foreign relations.”
There is no way to efficiently summarize a 45-60 minute read in a few sentences, but I suggest that the time will be well spent if you want a new perspective of the world.

Domino #2: Chinese Bank With $105 BN In Assets On Verge Of Collapse
Unfortunately for the PBOC, Beijing is now racing against time to prevent a widespread panic after it opened the Pandora’s box when it seized Baoshang Bank two weeks ago, the first official bank failure in a odd replay of what happened with Bear Stearns back in 2008, when JPMorgan was gifted the historic bank for pennies on the dollar. And with domino #1 down, the question turns to who is next, and will they be China’s Lehman. One day later we may have gotten our answer, when the Bank of Jinzhou, a city commercial bank in Liaoning Province, the second name in the list above, and with some $105 billion in assets, notably bigger than Baoshang, announced that its auditors Ernst & Young Hua Ming LLP and Ernst & Young had resigned, not long after the bank announced it would delay the publication of its annual reports. For those confused, the delay of an annual report and the resignation of an auditor, means a bank failure is not only virtually certain but practically imminent. The real question facing Beijing now is how quickly will Bank of Jinzhou collapse, how will Beijing and the PBOC react, and what whether the other banks on the list above now suffer a raging bank run, on which will certainly not be confined just to China’s small and medium banks.

Is Robert Mueller On The Grassy Knoll?
At this point, Mueller would have become one of the few people who knew everything about Crossfire Hurricane and the predication for its birth. It stands to reason, then, that the multi-pronged investigation, overseen by AG Barr, to find out why the FBI operation began and how it was conducted, will reach out to touch Mueller himself. Considering the position Mueller occupied as the man who held in his hands the fate of a sitting president, there are some very big questions that need to be answered: How aware was Mueller that the FBI based its counterintelligence operation upon unverified opposition research paid for by Trump’s election opponent and upon comments solicited from Trump campaign people by FBI and CIA informants? If Mueller was entirely unaware of these facts, then the FBI withheld from him information vital to his own investigation. If he was aware of them, then he knew from the beginning that his own assigned task was rooted in political mischief and undercover surveillance of U.S. citizens. That would mean he either ignored or concealed wrongdoing within the senior ranks of the FBI. Another question only Mueller can answer: At what point did he come to the realization that there was no coordination or conspiracy between Russian officials and Trump associates with regard to the 2016 election? How long after that realization did he continue to investigate – and why? There can be little doubt that Mueller was well aware that the FBI had used, as the centerpiece of its investigation, the so-called Steele dossier. It is hardly believable that the special counsel was unaware of its provenance as a collection of uncorroborated gossip and allegations, compiled by Christopher Steele for use by the Clinton campaign against Trump; after all, Mueller’s number two at the Office of Special Counsel was Andrew Weissman. Weissman – a staunch Clinton partisan – was previously a senior FBI official who was well aware of the existence and nature of the Steele dossier. If the DOJ concludes, then, that Crossfire Hurricane was a politically-motivated fabrication involving fraudulently obtained FISA warrants to spy on Trump associates, the further conclusion that the Mueller investigation was an extension of that conspiracy is virtually unavoidable. How could the DOJ possibly pursue its investigations to completion without questioning Mueller, Weissman, and perhaps numerous other individuals who worked at the OSC? Trump has often described Mueller as “conflicted.” It may be that the president knows far more than anyone realizes or his use of that word may be nothing more than a comment on Mueller’s association with former FBI Director James Comey, whose firing ushered in Mueller’s appointment. Whatever the answer, it seems increasingly likely that former special counsel was, indeed, extremely “conflicted.” He may become a key witness in Barr’s investigatory endeavors – and being only a witness could be the most fortunate outcome for Robert Mueller.

I was just telling my wife yesterday that I would very willingly give my arms, legs, tongue, eyes, ears, nuts, and dick to experience life like normal people do for just one hour to know what it feels like. I have been a seriously depressed realist since I have a memory. My first memory of my life is of leaning against a tree alone in my kindergarten’s playground looking at all the other kids playing, thinking how stupid their behavior was, and wondering why I wasn’t like them. I basically don’t interact with normal people anymore. They have nothing to offer me and I don’t want to give them anything.

Sorry again everyone. I just can’t control my temper.

Just because it doesn’t fit into your neat imagine of the future doesn’t mean it is not real. I doubt that you read the whole article I posted.

Canadian Natural shuts heavy-crude operations, halting 65,000 barrels a day as wildfires spread
“Canadian Natural Resources Ltd. has evacuated its Pelican Lake and Woodenhouse operations in northern Alberta in the first major shut-in of oil production triggered by wildfires this year.
The producer on Thursday removed all 240 people working in the two sites, halting a combined 65,000 barrels a day of heavy crude, according to a statement late Friday.”
