Wakeful Video Weekend 2020-01-05 (27 videos) – Main Theme: Our Inequality

Understanding better our unequal society. And coming to realize that we need to create a nurturing environment that meets basic needs for everybody, rather than continuing to support a system that leeches everything away from almost everyone and places all that stolen prosperity into the vaults of a handful of king-like super-rich — plus their rich and upper-“middle-class” guards. A need to build strong, healthy communities as a basement for and part of revolutionary change before the catastrophic point of no return completely ends our future (the latter only a little discussed).

Since this holiday week produced less vital videos than usual, I dove through older ones that draw a comprehensive picture from which to grow our awareness and build plans.

QuickyPinion: Trump-Ukraine BS

I can only hope that a growing number of people today refuses to let themselves be played by bullcrap stories in the media and corrupted party politics. It is only the constant blare about Trump and Ukraine – just as idiotic and designed 100% to meddle with people’s minds while distracting them from real issues – that has pushed me to write this little commentary today.

Let me break it down into a few short questions and answers:

Question 1: Why is Trump’s using government money to hurt the reputation of a potential presidential D-Party candidate a minor issue? Answer: Because we have much bigger issues, and – funny enough – even this tiny issue contains a much bigger element of concern within itself: namely the exposed corruption of the Biden family. Is exposing corruption of government officials and their family member allies really an offense when funded with government money? A rather arguable issue, isn’t it?

Question 2: Why don’t I care about impeaching Trump on the Ukraine affair? Answer: (A) Because he has committed much worse – and much less arguable – offenses that he could be impeached on. What’s the last count I heard of them? Seventeen, maybe? (B) Impeaching him successfully would only get us Mike Pence as President, a nightmare creature probably worse than Trump (which may be why Trump picked him). (C) All the Trump-mania (including impeachment drooling) is being used to distract us from our real issues like democracy, healthcare, and lives worth living. (D) The impeachment process, so slyly constructed on such a minor and highly defeatable issue when so many better ones are looming out there, may not only distract us from actually important issues but even be designed to lock up Bernie Sanders in Senate hearings and thus keep him from campaigning, a truly desirable goal by our corrupt ‘elites’ represented by both major parties.

I recommend we focus on our issues of real importance, and once we have created a real democracy, we indite all our living former presidents and other criminal government officials for their crimes. Impeachment is like a peach. Criminals deserve more than a mere peach for punishment.
