"I remember our old TV blasting nightly reports on Watergate. I remember watching Nixon depart on the Helicopter after resigning. I've soaked up everything since then. Not ONE time, though, until now, did I ever imagine an entire political party would be openly supporting a SPY." -- Jack Hopkins ([twitter.com profile] thejackhopkins), 2022-08-28

Ford should not have been allowed (instructed to?) pardon Nixon. If that wasn't revealing enough for people to see that all elected (and appointed) members of the government need to be held to a much higher standard, i don't know what will be. What we have is propaganda and control by the one percent (way-too-wealthy looters - WTWL).

But then, one of my rants is that the WTW Looters have actively been destroying effective (public) education for decades now. They have a special abhorrence for History, Goverment and Civics, as well as anything that smacks of "Society". One wonders why? No, one doesn't. Facts are inconvenient things for propagandists. Before someone wants to argue with me about this, first explain the current events we see going on all around in the "Red" states; Florida, Texas, et al. I'll laugh at anyone who tries to use "Both Sides" about this. It's not even close.

And that is a main reason teachers need to be paid much better and allowed to teach, in public schools, accurate History. Not "revised" History that the RWNJs want to be taught. Also, if you want your young to attend only private schools, ok... but you don't get taxpayer money for that. Private schools, religious or not, are not helping heal the divisive climate. They are another Echo Chamber and divisive as all hell.

Thank you, i'll be here all... :~)

And now, it's happening as we watch in horror, anger and dismay.
