I'll give you all I've got to give If you say you love me too I may not have a lot to give But what I've got I'll give to you I don't care too much for money Money can't buy me love –Paul McCartney & John Lennon
The
Beatles are more than the greatest pop group in history. They are the
proletariat’s philosophers. Their catchy song lyrics often express deep
truths that aren’t easily ignored. Their 1964 hit Can’t Buy Me Love is still a favorite of many.
Wonder
why? Could it be because it’s true? Sure, money can buy all the
accouterments of love, but it can’t buy the real deal. One has to earn another person’s love and respect or else… It’s not really love, now is it?
The same could be said for buying votes.
Kamala Harris spent upwards of $1 billion dollars
on her ill-fated “Joy” campaign. She still owes some $20 million to her
campaign workers and some of the celebrities she bribed to endorse her.
Beyonce’s asking price was $10 million—and that didn’t even include her
giving a concert, which was a huge disappointment to the many fans who
came to a Harris event just to see Beyonce perform. Oprah Winfrey’s
production company had an asking price of a cool $1 million. That’s a
lot of incentive to “love” a candidate, isn’t it?
Did
giving tons of money to these celebrities truly earn their love and
respect for Harris? The Beatles had it right, don’t you think?
So, what did Harris get for her record-breaking spending spree on the campaign trail? Well, it didn’t get her the White House...

A Terrible Tale of Voter Suppression. (Plus "A Letter to Kamala.")
by C. A. Matthews
Living with a mystery series writer (check out my husband’s Veronica Nash series), I watch many (and I mean many)
mystery movies, TV series, and the like. I’ve never been the biggest
fan of mysteries since some feature “copaganda” with their noble-minded
police detective sleuths showing off how damn smart they are. Putting
that fault aside, I watch mysteries in order to learn more about how to
plot a story as well as learn interesting science facts that
occasionally pop up. I find an interesting twist in the tale or an
outright surreal ending (like in a Twilight Zone episode) enjoyable, too.
Unfortunately,
many mysteries are poorly plotted. If I can guess “whodunnit” within
the first ten minutes of a mystery movie/TV show (or first chapter of a
novel), then it’s safe to say it’s crap and needs a re-write. I mean,
how the heck should anyone figure out the mystery so quickly? Mediocre
mysteries are the worse. There’s no use reading the rest of the book or
watching the next hour and half of silly red herrings if you know who
the murderer/kidnapper/thief is already. I’ve got better things to do
with my time.
Which
brings me to what I do with my time these days—I try and solve real
life mysteries of the political kind. In this season of post-election
blues in the US, I submit for your approval the following: The Mystery of the Missing Votes or A Terrible Tale of Voter Suppression.
In New Jersey, Green candidate for Congress Ben Taylor
was ahead of his duopoly competitors with 50,000+ votes, but a second
later the screen said that Taylor was behind and had only 3,000 votes.
What happened to his lead? Did his votes all die a mysterious death?

This post will go live on November 5. I wrote it a couple of days earlier, so I have no clue about what the outcome of the US elections are, nor do I really care. I’m just glad it’s finally over so we can return to concentrating on more important tasks—such as saving our fellow humans from being butchered by the American imperialist military-industrial complex in order to steal their land and natural resources, and hastening the death of capitalism.
Having said that, I will now explain the sign on the left in my yard:
I got the “heart [love] your neighbor” sign a few months ago from a local group, Neighbor-to-Neighbor. I thought it was a nice idea to promote neighborly love, and so I said I would put one up in my front yard during the months leading up to the election. The idea behind the sign is to help smooth over the “divide” many people are feeling during this particular presidential election season. Several community events were planned, and we were given a list of things to do order to let our neighbors know that there are “no hard feelings” after the winner of the presidential election is announced. Here are some of the tips:
Intentional Acts of Kindness
Let someone go ahead of you in the checkout line
Take trash bins in for a neighbor
Pick up litter on a bike/walking path
Call an elderly neighbor
Offer someone a ride to the store
Recognize one good thing about every person you meet
Not bad ideas on the whole. I’ve done most of these things before, so they aren’t much of a stretch to continue doing , but I find that last tip a real doozy: Recognize one good thing about every person you meet. This suggestion has become particularly challenging to me after these signs popped up in our neighborhood about a half-month before the election:
Yeah… What good thing can I find to recognize in a person or family who displays a sign supporting a blatant genocide enabler such as “Holocaust Harris”? Do I recognize that they haven’t attempted to kill me (yet)?

It’s not every day that I say something like this, so please take note.
The Founders (a.k.a. "The Founding Fathers of the United States of America") had a good idea when it came to making a permanent separation between church and state. It may have been one of only a handful of good ideas they ever had, being handicapped with their white, wealthy, Eurocentric, males-only, slavery-is-good-for-business worldview. But it is impressive that they foresaw a day when the need to be a strictly secular state (government) would be to their—and consequently our—benefit. So, for this insight I heartily thank them.
I
do believe there were “Founding Mothers and
Others-of-the-Non-White-Male Variety” as well, but in this case, we're
sticking with the "Fathers" who wrote our founding documents. I was reminded of their wisdom concerning church/state separation when Dr. Jill Stein gave one of the most brilliant rebuttals of all time at the recent Free and Equal Debate.
The Constitution Party candidate, Randall Terry, had just given the most sick and twisted rant imaginable. I don’t know much about the Constitution Party, but if this is their pick for president, I really don’t want to know anything more about them. Terry’s diatribe went along the lines that Americans should believe as he does (seemingly he’s an ultra-conservative, Zionist “Christian”) and that those of the Muslim faith are dangerous terrorists and deserve to be killed in Gaza (and elsewhere). He actually sounded like he would start another Crusade if he ever got into the White House. His verbal vomit of sheer naked bigotry sent shivers down my spine.
Dr. Stein’s reply to Terry’s steaming pile of Islamophobia was eloquent and to the point. Watch a clip on X/Twitter or on You Tube:
Randall Terry’s rant and Jill Stein’s rebuttal starts at approx. 1:20 and goes to about 1:24.
To find out what else would make the Founders proud...

I
have never trusted AOC. I never once thought she was a “progressive” or
even “honest” in a Demon-erratic Party sort of way. So, Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez actively promoting a pro-genocide/pro-war/anti-worker
candidate and smearing a decent anti-genocide/anti-war/pro-worker candidate in a recent video doesn’t surprised me one bit.
I can spot a sell-out from a mile away. What do I mean by a “sell-out”? I’ll post some photos to help explain what I mean.
Above
is a photo of AOC promoting a Green Party candidate in 2017. Yes, AOC
actually helped the Greens, although in her recent tirade smearing Dr. Jill Stein
she doesn’t seem to acknowledge how much she truly owes the Green Party
for her political success. AOC and the Dems stole the “Green New Deal”
from former Green presidential candidate Howie Hawkins who first
verbalized it when he ran for governor of New York back in 2010. There’s
even a video from C-Span
from back in the day that proves the Green Party US created the Green
New Deal that Dems later stole and watered down (and then totally
forgot about).
With
voters growing evermore dissatisfied with Harris and her ardent support
for Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, we are witnessing an increasing
number of smears of anti-genocide candidates. Recently AOC was caught
outright lying in a ratioed video about “how the Greens do nothing.”
Really? This is what I have to say to her...

I Want To Remember You As A Nice Person (but you’re making it very hard because of your support for genocide)
by C.A. Matthews
Dear “Friend”:
I
honestly don’t know how to address you. I apologize if you no longer
consider me your friend or if you don’t want me to call you a friend,
but I still care about you. I’m very concerned about you because of
recent comments you made. This is why I’m writing you this letter.
I’m
going to come out and admit what's really bothering me here. No beating
about the bush. No subtle hints or subtext. Just plain ol’ English.
Okay, here goes… Aagh! This is going to be much harder than I thought it
would be.
There
should be some polite way of saying what’s driving us apart, but I
can’t think of any way to put it other than the brutal truth: I don’t
trust you anymore. There. I’ve said it. I can’t trust anyone who thinks
that the genocide of 200,000+ human beings in Gaza is “joyful” or “not
important in this election”.
You’ve
used those terms about what’s happening in Gaza and the West Bank on
social media platforms. You’ve taunted me and others like me there and
ignored me whenever I wanted to discuss the subject further in person.
You’ve even insulted my intelligence when I told you who I supported for
president...

I enjoy listening to my friend DJ Amjad’s Deep Mix Music and More radio program while I’m writing. The other day I found myself singing along with a catchy chorus from a 1990’s rap song:
Now I know you're sayin' Well why don't he stop beating around the bush Well I'll get there when i get there So there ain't no need to push! Because the point I'm trying to make contains my whole philosophy So listen to what I tell you and repeat it after me
Truth is out of style (out of style) Truth is out of style (out of style) (say what?) Truth is out of style (say what?) Truth (say what?) (is out of style) Truth (is out of style) --from Truth Is Out of Styleby DJ Zero & MC 900 ft. Jesus
Thirty-four
years later, and the words still ring true. The “philosophy” that MC
900 sung in his rap has become the motto of many Western governments: Truth is out of style.
If you don’t believe me, how do you explain the following?
Richard Medhurst,
an independent British journalist was arrested at Heathrow airport and
held for nearly 24 hours under the UK Terrorism Act because of stories
he featured on his podcast.
Mary Kostakidis,
known as “the face of television news in Australia,” has been accused
of supporting ethnic cleansing of Jews because of two retweets about
Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
Sharmine Narwani, who founded The Cradle,
an online journal of news and comment, was permanently banned from
Facebook and Instagram. Narwani now stands accused of “praising
terrorist organizations” and engaging in “incitement to violence.”
Professor Danny Shaw was detained by the FBI for three hours in Chicago’s O’Hare Airport after returning from a Free Palestine film festival in London. His computing devices were seized. He had been fired from his job back in April when he was falsely called “antisemitic” for his pro-Palestine comments.
and, of course, Julian Assange of Wikileaks fame...

I can’t take it anymore. I can’t keep silent and act politely while there are sadistic madmen and inconceivably evil women roaming the face of the planet. I don’t care who I offend with my next statement, so here goes:
Baby-killers should never be allowed to become popes, priests, presidents, or prime ministers.
There. I said it. I’m glad to get that off my chest.
Many studies have shown that a particular type of personality disordered individual seems to rise to the top in business, politics, organized religion, and life in general in this sick capitalist society. This individual’s mental illness allows them to out-compete, out-manipulate, and out-evil (I made that word up for lack of finding an adjective that works in this sentence) all others in order to get ahead. This type of individual doesn’t lose sleep over screwing over others. Heck, if they have to steal, beg, borrow, prostitute themselves and/or kill to achieve power that’s exactly what they’ll do.
No pity. No remorse.
No kidding.
Most would label these merciless creatures “sociopaths,” which means a person who displays anti-social personality traits. I’m growing tired of that word myself. It doesn’t go far enough, so I’ve come up with a synonym that’s more descriptive and easier to understand: I call these creatures simply “baby-killers.”
For those who can’t quite make the connection, here is why I’ve chosen to label these creatures baby-killers…

We watched a mystery program recently where the antique dealer sleuth was asked to solve the puzzle of what happened to an older woman’s inheritance that supposedly was “right in front of her.” As the old woman sat leaning on her cane, the sleuth asked if she could see the cane. The sleuth took a nail file and scratched the head of the cane, flaking off some of the paint covering it. Hidden under several layers of paint was a solid gold ornament—the woman’s inheritance. The sleuth had cracked the puzzle. Scratching the surface revealed a treasure.
If only everything was as golden underneath its surface!
If you scratch the surface of the current crop of duopoly candidates for the White House, you probably won’t like what you find underneath. It’s about as far from gold as you can get!
There’s no secret to the shallowness of Donald Trump. The whole world experienced his narcissism in his first time in office, so is there any need to rehash it? After his recent experiences in court, nobody—and I mean nobody—really wants to see what’s underneath the Trumpster Fire’s surface. We’re all agreed: It ain’t pretty.
The same could be said of Kamala “The Cackler” Harris. Harris has been compared to former president Barack Obama who in a recent biography was described as being “hollow at its core” or an empty vessel. That means there’s essentially nothing underneath those insane giggles and grins of Harris. There’s no guiding principles or firmly held beliefs. She’s held together by a willingness to do whatever the oligarchs want her to do. Mark my words, what billionaires want Harris to do for them isn’t going to be of help to any of us ordinary folks...

You might think I made up these collective groups' terms, but I didn’t. Well, maybe that last one I did. The closest I could come to a name for a grouping of criminals was “a cowardice of curs.” It definitely needs updating.
I dare you to tell me who has acted more criminal than the members of the Congress of the United States of America recently. They invited Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, a leader with an arrest warrant for genocide on his head, to come and speak before them. They actually wanted to listen to a war criminal gloat about the mass murders of Palestinians by the IOF and how they plan to use the land they’ve stolen once they’ve removed all the rubble and dead bodies from it.
Why is Congress such a bunch of bloodthirsty ghouls? Why did they find Netanyahu, this terrible excuse of a human being, an acceptable guest? Did they take a good long look in a collective mirror and see themselves?
Well, it takes one to know one. Like attracts like. [Insert your favorite aphorism here to compare the criminal and cooperative actions of Biden and Congress to Netanyahu’s genocidal government.]
In case you’ve been following mainstream media and haven’t heard, Benjamin Netanyahu has been charged with the following crimes by the International Criminal Court (ICC)...

EMCEE: Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the midterms election year Blame Game, a game where Democratic Party operatives come up with excuses for why their candidates are doing poorly in the polls and why they never quite do as they promise.
The crowd of party faithful goes wild with clapping and cheering.
EMCEE: Thank you, thank you. (He pulls out a long list from his blue-sequinned jacket pocket.)Our first contestant is Mrs. Shirley U. Jest, one of our largest contributors to the 2020 Biden-Harris campaign, outside of Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics.
A
well-dressed, middle-aged suburbanite energetically jumps up out of her
seat and knocks her Blue MAGA cap off in the confusion.
SHIRLEY: Did he say me? Me? Oh, yippee! I've always wanted to play.
EMCEE: Come on down, Shirley! It's time to spin the wheel and play the Blame Game!
Jumping up and down, Shirley approaches the Emcee and the large rotating wheel on stage.
EMCEE: You certainly seem happy to be here, Shirley. Tell us a little about yourself.
SHIRLEY: I'm a lifelong Democrat and currently live in Arizona. I vote blue no matter who no matter what other people say. I even voted for Kyrsten Sinema! I don't care to think for myself.
The crowd cheers and whistles their approval.
EMCEE: Perfect, just perfect. Well, the blame we need to assign this week is for our very own Commander-in-Chief, President Joe Biden. (Audience cheers.) It seems Joe has dropped in the polls from about 33% to a mere 29% approval rating. Who will loyal Democrats blame for this fiasco? This is where the lovely Shirley comes in. Are you ready?
SHIRLEY: (Screwing up her face and quivering with excitement.) Yes! Yes!
EMCEE: Alrighty then. Come over here and spin the Blame Shifting Wheel.
Shirley pulls down hard on the large roulette wheel. She then steps back as it spins around and around.
EMCEE: Will it be Russia? That's a party favorite. Our friend Rachel at MSNBC can always drum up plenty of reasons why Russia is at the root of Mr. Biden dropping in the polls.
AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Russia! Russia!
EMCEE: (Chuckling.) And China could be blamed for V.P. Harris' fall from grace, especially if we end up in war with them and our dollar stores' shelves wind up empty.
Audience boos. The wheel continues to spin.
EMCEE: Is there any particular blameworthy subject on the wheel you like, Shirley?
SHIRLEY: Oo, I'm sort of partial to blaming Susan Sarandon. (Audience hisses.) She can cast a spell on just about anyone through her Tweets. She talked my sister into voting for that witch Jill Stein back in 2016. She made the Green Party sound so reasonable with their people,planet and peace over profits slogan. Can you imagine putting the welfare of the planet over the welfare of our bank accounts?
The Emcee and crowd all laugh derisively. The wheel begins to slow but continues to spin.
EMCEE: You really put some juice into that spin, Shirley! Do you have a second favorite excuse on the wheel?
SHIRLEY: Hmm… Those Leftist types. They're pretty shifty. Always claiming that we're not doing enough for the working people or people of color and crying about not having health care and being in debt for simply going to college. As if! Everybody loves their private health insurance and everybody knows their parents will pay their college tuition. Duh!
The audience hoots and hollers, mimicking her condescending gestures.
SHIRLEY: They're always saying that we Dems are only acting in the best interests of the idle rich. I don't see it that way at all.
EMCEE: Yeah, it is a confusing position. By the way, what are you and your friends planning to do after the show today?
SHIRLEY: Why, go to brunch, of course! Then we're attending a kickboxing class with Jen Psaki and having Margaritas afterwards. We're never idle.
EMCEE: (Chuckling.) No one would ever accuse you of idleness, Shirley. And it looks like the wheel is starting to slow… Yes, it's slowing… It's stopping… Oh, dear.
SHIRLEY: (Frowning.) It's stuck in between two slots. What does that mean?
EMCEE: It means we'll have to ask the DNC party leadership for their learned advice on how to proceed. (He leans into his earpiece to listen.) Yes, yes, I got that. Thank you.
SHIRLEY: What did they say?
EMCEE: (Clearing his throat.) The party leadership says the blame for our beloved Joe Biden dropping in the polls is because of "bad followers." You, the party faithful, have not lived up to your potential. You've let Mr. Biden and the party down.
The audience is shocked into silence. Then a low booing and moaning ensues. Bits of wadded paper and disposable plastic bottles are tossed onto the stage.
SHIRLEY: Hey, what's this about us not being good followers? We're here, aren't we? We donate time and money to the party constantly. We troll online and put the lefties and Greens in their place. We've even paid to place child porn images on the Berners' Facebook pages during the 2016 New York primary to get them in trouble. Surely that's going beyond the call of duty. Every Democrat here is a definition of a good follower.
VARIOUS AUDIENCE MEMBERS: Hear, hear!We believed Joe's campaign promises! Why didn't he forgive student loan debt like he said he would? Why didn't they give us $2,000 stimulus checks like they said? He's causing his own poll numbers to drop!
EMCEE: What can I say? The leadership says it's not about them or their decisions--the blame falls squarely on you guys' shoulders. It's all your fault.
SHIRLEY: But… but… Don't we get a say so in the matter? Can't we take a vote on this?
EMCEE: A vote? Why would we do a thing like that? A federal judge actually said in 2017 that Democratic Party is a private organization and could rig their primaries any way they like. Why would leadership ever listen to you guys, the bad followers?
SHIRLEY: Hey, I paid good money to be here and I--
EMCEE: (Interrupting her.) That's all we have time for today. Enjoy your Margaritas and brunch, folks, and until next time--trust the leadership to tell you what's good for you and remember--don't think for yourself. Good-bye everybody!
The emcee barely escapes the auditorium before the audience members can tar and feather him. Shirley sniffs and shuffles off stage.
SHIRLEY: (Mumbling to self.) Maybe my sister was right about voting Green Party after all.
If you don't understand the why and how Dem voters are being labeled "bad followers," view the following video discussion between Jordan Chariton (Status Coup) and Steve Grumbine (Real Progressives). https://youtu.be/zAdf10-GTW4
Caught a clip of mainstream bile being puked out where a Dem operative says something like "Democrats don't have a leader problem they have a follower problem". I thought that was perfect. "We don't serve you. You serve us."

HR-1 or the "For the People Act" promises some needed voting reforms, yet at the same time it will allow billionaires to flood unrestricted Dark Money into the campaign coffers of the Democrats and Republicans, further weakening what remains of our democracy. https://continuousrev.blogspot.com/2021/03/poison-pill-politics.html
❌ $2000 relief checks ❌ $15/hr minimum wage ❌ elimination of student debt ❌ halting of deportations from day 1 ❌ decriminalization of marijuana ✅ 127,457 deportations ✅ 30% increase in jailed migrant children
All student loan debt hasn't been cancelled as promised by Biden during the presidential campaign.
We didn't realize the $2000 stimulus check as promised in January by Biden and Harris while campaigning in the Georgia special election.
Medicare For All has yet to be enacted in spite of promises made along the campaign trail.
Enacting a $15 an hour minimum wage seems to be a thing of the past for Dems--no matter if they claimed to support it in 2020.
Police officers and others are still getting away with murder of minorities.
And there are still kids in cages.
Who or what can you believe?
We could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. You can only believe in yourself. Any conflicting information you read and hear in the mainstream media only provides further proof that they're in on the con.
The mainstream media will take the contradictions inadvertently revealed by those in power and manufacture them into a cover story full of misdirection and half-truths--Russia!--rather than actual facts. These spin doctors are so good at what they do that they will make you question your own memory and your own sanity if you let them.
The solution? Cut back or stop altogether watching and reading mainstream media outlets. Stop allowing their talking heads to fill yours with their nonsense. It's only going to give you a headache.
What can you do to find out what's really happening in the world? Find as many independent media outlets as you can broadcasting a news story and learn to trust your instincts when comparing sources. Who makes money if you follow this particular media outlet's lead? And if something coming out of the mouth of a politician or an extremely well-paid pundit sounds unbelievable or is later proven false, don't hesitate to refute them or boycott them.
There's no reason for anyone to put up with liars, no matter how apparently high ranking or famous they are. Always insist on integrity. If more of us did this more often, what a wonderful world this would be.

We’ll
be direct: There’s a youth nicotine addiction crisis raging across
America, and Big Tobacco’s flavored products are fueling it like
gasoline on a fire.
Whether
it’s longtime products like menthol cigarettes or stealthy new
e-cigarettes like Juul, the tobacco industry has relied on flavors to
hook generation after generation on their dangerous products. It’s a
strategy dating back decades – one that continues even during a
pandemic, when protecting lung health couldn’t be more critical.
The
result? More than 15,000 flavors on store shelves, addicting more kids
and putting their health and brain development in jeopardy.
More than 81% of kids who have ever used tobacco started with a flavored product
Flavored tobacco makes it easier for young users to start
3.6 million kids nationwide are using nicotine-loaded e-cigs, unraveling years of progress in lowering youth tobacco use
It’s
not all bad news, C.A. – we’ve made real progress against this threat.
Five states and hundreds of cities nationwide have cracked down on
flavored tobacco products. And last year, for the first time ever, the
U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation to end the sale of
flavored tobacco.
2021
could be the year we finish the job and finally stop Big Tobacco from
luring and addicting our kids with flavored products. But it won’t
happen without a grassroots army demanding action. That’s where you come in.
That’s what Postmaster General Louis DeJoy
told Congress last month during a hearing into unprecedented service
cuts and mail delays under his leadership of the United States Postal
Service.
DeJoy is a Republican mega-donor who has given over $2 million to the Trump campaign and other Republican causes since 2016.
Last year, Public Citizen helped file a lawsuit in federal court — in
which we prevailed — to stop DeJoy from disrupting mail delivery leading
up to the November election.
Now, DeJoy is about to propose additional changes that could delay the mail even more.
Too many Americans count on the Post Office to leave it in the hands of
a Trump sycophant who seems bent on running the agency into the ground.
