Sane vs Mindlessly Angry: A Rebuttal

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Government / Council on Foreign Relations 
_______________________________________

What have the elite really accomplished that is not worth the masses ire?

I for one cannot find one redeeming quality of the elite social and political class and I am one of them. I can trace my family through a long line of old world nobility, including early Kings of Britain, and some of the most beloved, Kings and Queens of Scotland and France. For one instance of familial lineage, the Thornton Chart can be used to show my family's royal lineage linked to the Earl of Warren that goes back to William the Conquerer in 1066. I know others with more distinguished pedigrees than mine. Royal and aristocratic lineages are robust in the American story, and those instances are not even counting the bastards. So you will speak to We the People with respect.

What happened in 1776 with the birth our nation: the United States of America became a level playing field. Descendants of royalty, aristocracy, and the peasant classes coexisted as equals. With the combination of a common goal to make this the greatest nation on the Earth, We the People achieved greatness.

Not because we are perfect. Not because we haven’t had our social squabbles. Because we are the makers of our own destiny. We are the Sovereigns. We are the royal class.

You, the elite, are supposed to work for us, not for your demented proclivities.

The “sane” elite as you call yourselves have done nothing since 1776 but to undermine our achievements at every turn: If it weren’t for funding both sides of wars to bankrupt our nation... If it weren’t for injecting yourselves into our monetary, political, and social systems in order to dominate and enslave us... If it weren't for creating social classes to control us... If it weren't for your agenda for the world to steal wealth from us... We the People would have lifted the entire world to create a utopia for every man, woman, and child.

We the People of the Earth are not responsible for the elite’s increasing and massive pollution, destruction, and manipulation in order to self ingratiate at the cost of others, their nations, and the Earth herself. You, the supposed “sane” elite, have treated the Earth like vandals, then blame your ignorance and malignity on the rest of us.

No more. We the People are tired of your blatant disrespect and lack of leadership. True leaders do not dumb down others and blame those others for being “mindlessly angry.” We have a right to be angry. True leaders uplift their people to be greater than the generation before them. True leaders educate, inform, and guide. True leaders create wealth and equality for all.

Tyrants are the opposite. Tyrants create strife for social control. Tyrants make activities like gardening, rain water collection, and feeding the homeless illegal. Tyrants spray the sky causing pollution, disease, droughts, extreme weather events, and ozone depletion and blame it on everyone else but the elite’s own idiocy. Tyrants poison the air, water, and food supply in order to reduce the population while making money on the pharmaceuticals that not only do not cure people but kill them quicker. Tyrants cause problems so they can enact their profiteering solutions to the public problems they create. Tyrants are so blinded by their own hubris that they do not see why in the world the rest of us are fucking pissed off.

The problem with the top 1% of the 1% is that you all are ignorant fools. What have you done all your lives but change laws so that the rest of us supplement your extravagant lifestyles while you blame us for your own inadequacies? The elite have become parasitic useless eaters of the resources that belong to We the People.

What have you done with your life? I matriculated at higher learning institutions while holding down a full time job, owning my own home, putting my younger sibling through college, and taking care of an disabled elderly parent. All beginning at the age of 24. I am polymathic and renaissance as I have degrees in geology, biology, small business, history, teaching, learning, technology, as part of my arts, liberal studies, and education degrees. Not to mention my abilities in journalism, creative writing, poetry, art, lecturing, and publishing.

What have you done?

You, the elite, have put your feet up on our backs, told us what to do, and contrived a system that belittles the masses. All for soothing of your depraved egos. That does not make the masses mindlessly angry. That is a natural and healthy reaction to an abusive relationship.

The elite have not held up their end of the bargain: better jobs, better future, better education. The elite are failures. The bread basket of the United States can feed the world four times over, yet there are starving children and families all over this Earth. Tell me why? Why do we need vaccines that are full of mercury and other poisons when disease is corrected by good nutrition, ecologically sound farming practices, and good soil maintenance? Instead the elite have given the masses: pesticides, chemical fertilizers, genetically modified foods. The elite said these products would expand food production and solve world hunger. Liars.

If the elites were so “sane,” then why is Fukushima still an issue? If you are so smart, then solve that problem today, but I bet even in your groupthink think tanks no one can come up with the solution to just bury that fiasco with cement and give Japan green technologies that would support their island population.

Oh no, the elite cannot do that. Technologies that do not produce funds through scheming like smart meters are, of course, undermined or made outright illegal.

So how are the elite in any way more than corrupt, evil parasites that live off the biggest ponzi scheme funded welfare system the world has ever seen? Bank cartels, real estate bubbles, Wall Street gambling, and the laws and regulations that support the funneling of wealth from the bottom 99% to the top 1% of the 1% are your welfare meal tickets.

President Obama whines on television that Donald Trump who has built his empire through hard work and treating people with respect is an elitist? Give We the People a break. An elitist has billions, trillions of dollars locked away in accounts that will never see an audit or a tax form. We the People understand fully who the elite actually are: spoiled, angry despots.

The true welfare class are the elites that sip champagne while a mother of three working at the local fast food joint cannot even earn a living wage. When in reality, the elite owe We the People more money than they will ever be able to pay back... national debt, my ass.

The only insane people are the ones who write for elite journals like the Council of Foreign Relations’ publication: Foreign Policy complaining about how We the People do not appreciate that you, the elite, have completely and utterly failed as a political and social class because of your hubris, selfishness, and inability to do one thing right.

So the question is: what has the elite class done? What did you do today besides wreck havoc on the world markets to blame Brexit as a temper tantrum to make you feel better? Was the stomping of your feet all you did or did you get your nails done too?

We the People are not mindlessly angry. We know full well what has been going on over the generations while you feign wars and terrorist attacks to try and divert us from your complete lack of skills and abilities to run even a push mower.

Grow the hell up and get off the stage. The elites are way passed their expiration date. Each one of you needs to be indicted, arrested, convicted, wealth that was stolen confiscated, and then hung in every town square around the world to warn other elite psychos of what happens to traitors.

The mindlessly angry masses have a world to clean up and We the People are tired of your useless bigotry getting in the way of our life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Now shut up, whiner. You have nothing to complain about from your Ivory Tower. We the People do have a list of grievances. Maybe it's about time the elite abdicate their rotting thrones. 

You are no longer relevant.

Resource About the Negative Side of Charter Schools

Staff Writer, R. Patrick Chapman
Government / Education / Agenda 21
__________________________________

Do you have questions about why Americans need Charter Schools?  Would you like to educate yourself about the downside of privatizing education? 

You may want to read the website: Charter School Scandals:
A compilation of news articles about charter schools which have been charged with, or are highly suspected of, tampering with admissions, grades, attendance and testing; misuse of funds and embezzlement; engaging in nepotism and conflicts of interest; engaging in complicated and shady real estate deals; and/or have been engaging in other questionable, unethical, borderline-legal, or illegal activities. This is also a record of charter school instability and other unsavory tidbits.

Agnotology: Ignorance is Power

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Ignorance / Confusion 
________________________________

Are you confused about world events? politics? public policy? You are not alone. Governments and corporations employ tactics  to keep the public discourse and political landscape on uneven ground for power and profit:
Agnotology is the study of wilful acts to spread confusion and deceit, usually to sell a product or win favour
In the article: The Man who Studies the Spread of Ignorance*, we learn how and why this wilful spread of ignorance is so important to the criminal mind.
“I was exploring how powerful industries could promote ignorance to sell their wares. Ignorance is power… and agnotology is about the deliberate creation of ignorance.

“In looking into agnotology, I discovered the secret world of classified science, and thought historians should be giving this more attention.” 
But this spread of ignorance and confusion happens in more than the commercial sphere, it happens in the political one as well:
Proctor explains that ignorance can often be propagated under the guise of balanced debate. For example, the common idea that there will always be two opposing views does not always result in a rational conclusion. This was behind how tobacco firms used science to make their products look harmless, and is used today by climate change deniers to argue against the scientific evidence.

“This ‘balance routine’ has allowed the cigarette men, or climate deniers* today, to claim that there are two sides to every story, that ‘experts disagree’ – creating a false picture of the truth, hence ignorance.”
Have you been in the middle of this type of agnotology? It is more common than you realize. 

If you want to keep ahead of the spread of ignorance, then be sure to fact check everything you see, hear, and read. 

The truth is out there.

*Oh and by the way, BBC, there is no climate change based on facts and science. So in your article cited above you allowed two different types of agnotological references to create fallacies in your argument, but good try anyway.

TPP, the Toilet Paper Ponzi Scheme of ALL Trade Agreements

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
News / Politics
__________________________________

When is a trade agreement full of excrement? When it sells out American interests, the Constitution and Bill of Rights, American workers, all for the sake of secrecy, special interest power grab, and corporate profits. 

What's worse? Our Congressional Leaders are NOT allowed to see it. That's right and President Barack Obama wants to Fast-Track the agreement before the first of the year. Those people who have seen the leaked parts of the TPP characterize it as:

Watch this video for a breakdown at Democracy Now! 

Talk about a grab bag of corporate private rules being enforced as public law. That means foreign companies and governments can sue our government for having quality standards written into legislation as well as an intellectual property gestapo that stifles any new business or creative venture: written or artistic.

Not only would thought police make a splash more and more into our culture, but medicines would have a longer gestation before generics could become available. You can see insurance premiums grow higher as food safety rules are relaxed for foreign markets to raid your grocery shelves.

With the Trans Pacific Partnership, nothing is safe.

There go your jobs.
There goes the environment protections.
No more Buy American advertisements.
Another mega bank/corporate free for all.

Haven't the American People had enough of a me, me, me political, corporate, and bank monopoly of your lives?

Want action? YOU are the action you seek. Call, write, visit... your Congressional representatives today and call the White House while you're at it.

Enough is enough.

Villa de Paz

Staff Writer, DL Mullan
Community Interest
_______________________________________

Villa de Paz is a place unlike any other. I have lived in Iowa and California. I have traveled across the United States. I have seen New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island. I have traveled and explored the crevices of Arizona as well. Nothing compares to the little golf community of Villa de Paz.

Village of Peace... quiet, understated, demur, but not obsolete. Ducks, Canadian geese, quail, doves, pigeons, osprey, hawks, owls, vultures, seagulls and cranes grace the sky, trees, and ponds. It's where turtles cross the streets and children play on their bicycles.

In the mornings, students walk to school with their backpacks on. In the evenings, people return home from work. On the weekends, families barbeque.

Retired couples relax and spend their golden years in style. Young couples raise their children without fear of overcrowded streets, sprayed poisons, or drag racing. It's a place where everyone fits just right in a mold all its own.

If you are in need of help, all you have to do is ask. One of your neighbors are bound to lend a hand. Sometimes two do.

Villa de Paz cannot be replicated because it has taken decades to form with care, ethics, values, and strength. The golf course is the center that keeps the shape, feel, and culture of this small community alive and well. Without the golf course, the community would not be the same and the allure that brings people here would not survive as it once was.

Sometimes change is good, but when that change comes at the cost of your community, your neighbors, and your values, then change is best left to other places. Here in Villa de Paz, it's like coming home even if it's your first visit. There's something about this golf course community that attracts people from differing walks of life. 

Without the golf course, Villa de Paz would lose what makes it special. Unique. We have peace, quiet, wildlife, and a little extra space away from the crowded lights of the other meccas that allow us to stargaze every night. 

Why would anyone want to come in and destroy such beauty? 

Money? Greed? For overflowing accounts someone already has? Or is envious to obtain? Seems trifle and silly to me. Sometimes it takes a community to stand together and just say: "NO!"

When you have perfection, why would you want anything else?
