Totalitarian Systems of Power: The Psychological Weapon of Fear

contributor-community@yahoo-inc.com (Horatio Green) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 03:02:30 EDT

contributor-community@yahoo-inc.com (Horatio Green) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:31:39 EDT

America’s New Totalitarianism

contributor-community@yahoo-inc.com (Horatio Green) — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 17:39:20 EDT

A Desperate Need for a Change of Attitude Toward Unemployment

contributor-community@yahoo-inc.com (Horatio Green) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 22:51:35 EDT

Republicans demonize the unemployed, calling for benefit reductions, drug test and reforms when the real reform needs to be their attitude. With unemployment benefits expiring and being once unemployed, I understand the anxiety they are causing.

The idyllic community of Happy Valley was not as it was portrayed. Keeping domestic violence and the sexual abuse of little boys by Jerry Sandusky hush-hush was necessary to preserve their economic way of life.

Will Americans Be Deceived into a War with Iran?

contributor-community@yahoo-inc.com (Horatio Green) — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 04:07:43 EDT

The IAEA reports Iran is building a nuclear weapons program, and the warrior class heats up the call for war. As with Iraq, the justification is no more persuasive and the moral authority of those seeking to go on the attack is suspect.

Hoodwinked into believing we are fighting to protect our constitutional rights and for other nefarious reasons, at the end of the day the United States has failed at war, failed veterans when they returned home, and failed its citizens.

War, inequality, and corporate excess are enemies of the underprivileged and middle-class. OWS needs overwhelming forces to embrace change without anarchy through “Days of Action,” and the overwhelming support of ordinary Americans as well.

America’s Homeless Are Worthless

Republicans and the like-minded consider homeless people as something that can be discarded. They say poor people don’t create jobs, rich people do, and so they uncompassionatly judge homeless people as worthless. It’s America’s black mark.
