LUMPENPROLETARIAT—[Monday, 1 FEB 2021]  We’re closing in on the first two weeks of Biden’s Presidency.  Liberals, especially white liberals, seem very pleased with the Biden administration thus far.  Everyone else is not pleased at all, not the left. And the Republican Party seems like it won’t be happy until the United States returns to legalized slavery. Some of us, who were concerned with President Bush II (i.e., “W”) and his abuse of Executive Orders, are also concerned with Biden doing the same thing during his first week in office.  Even worse, the abuse of Executive Orders only further enflames Mr. Biden’s political opponents, who already perceive him as abusing power. And, instead of working on sincere truth and reconciliation with the 74 million Americans, who voted for Mr. Trump’s racism and proto-fascism, the Democrat Party has made empty signaling about “Reconciliation”. 

But it’s not meaningful truth and reconciliation.  Reconciliation is merely a parliamentary procedure, which “provides a process to prevent the use of the filibuster tactic of obstructionism and thereby allow the passage of a bill with simple majority support in the Senate.”  Why we still allow the obstructionist filibuster tactic in Congress, which is the epitome of obstructionism, in 2021, is a sad commentary on the state of our politics in the U.S.

As we enter Black History Month, the nation has never been hungrier for black history.  We see Google and other search engines and platforms promoting black authors and topics in the year of Black Lives Matter.  But how sincere are these corporate educational campaigns?  Recently, on Pacifica Radio various observers around the nation have pointed out that, historically, black people are the Americans, who have most advocated for true democracy in this country.  Indeed. We contend, Chicanos agree.  Anecdotally, we can say, by and large, the immigrant parents of Chicanos and other Latins have tried to keep their heads down and assimilate without making any social noise.  This, combined with a steady diet of center-right and right-wing propaganda on UniVision and Telemundo has rendered first-generation Latins largely acquiescent to the neoliberal status quo.  When we, brown people, look around for brown national leadership, we don’t see it.  We see people, like Dolores Huerta, speak out.  Unfortunately, she’s been captured by the Democrat Party, which Malcolm X and Dr. King already warned us against back in the 1960s.  As Malcolm said, anyone, who keeps voting for the Democrat Party, for a party, who never keeps their promises to you, is a chump.

We won’t deny the abundance of advocacy groups and non-profits, which are working to help people of color and low-income people across the country.  But isn’t philanthropy like a band-aid on a gunshot wound? We patch things up here and there, but the bleeding never stops because the same structures and conditions are in place after the philanthropy, which caused the bleeding in the first place. All of the work helps. But our decadent liberal class enables the right-wing to preserve the status quo. If so, which we contend it is so, then our task is ever Sysyphean, as we deal in amelioration and palliatives, as the death of the liberal class takes all well-meaning people down with them.

We are grateful Black History Month exists because it provides people of color an opportunity to expose hidden, or suppressed, history. This helps us understand where other people are coming from, in terms of experiences and perspectives. We also reflect on why there isn’t a Brown History Month. As a society, we understand the need and importance of celebrating black history. But now that we’ve singled out one ethnic group for preferential treatment, what does this communicate to other ethnic groups?Should there be ten more months of color?  Should there be a People of Color History Month?  Should there be a White History Month?  Why?  Or why not? The important thing is to not stop questioning, as Albert Einstein said. Solidarity.

RT:  Myanmar’s military says it’s taking control of nation for one year, as it declares state of emergency due to alleged election fraud.  The Myanmar military allegedly perceives, and has made the fact-claim, the election was rigged because it was won by the party of Aung San Suu Kyi, the Burmese politician, now reportedly under arrest.  No evidence has been provided to substantiate this fact-claim.  In the absence of credible evidence, foreign observers must suspect the military of fabricating election fraud charges as a pretext for imposing military rule.  If it looks like fascism and sounds like fascism, it’s probably fascism.   Aung San Suu Kyi (b. 1945) “a Burmese politician, diplomat, author, and a 1991 Nobel Peace Prize laureate who served as State Counsellor of Myanmar from 2016 to 2021. As the leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD) and the first State Counsellor, she played a vital role in Myanmar’s transition from military junta to partial democracy in the 2010s.”

06:00 PST, WBAI > […] 06:04 PST, emergency fund drive with Dr. Gary Null, who is on the phone from Texas because he wants “to see, if we can prove”, if nutrition and fitness lifestyles can provide healthy outcomes where traditional corporate health care fails…  Indeed.  We agree with most of Dr. Null’s health advice. But Pacifica Radio’s Layna Berman (Your Own Health and Fitness) used to always argue that vegans lack certain animal-based amino acids.  So, vegan restrictions leave humans lacking.  But we also appreciate the challenges, including climate change, with attempts to scale up meat packing to a global scale.  […]  06:10 PST, Dr. Null told story about his tests on the rats, and that vegetable have “all eight amino acids”…  [This is a rerun, which we heard last Thursday, and, perhaps, other days/times.]  We need a debate between Layna Berman and Dr. Gary Null about whether or not vegan dietary restrictions provide a complete amino acid profile or not.  If memory serves, Berman argued certain animal-based triglycerides were essential.  Your author subscribes to a modified paleo diet, ideally with carb cycling.  We recommend Ben Pakulski fitness science.  Dr. Null also needs to interview Dr. Bikman, about his new book, if he hasn’t already.  Cf.

Oy vey.  Host said, well, let’s hope the meeting comes sooner.  Indeed.  This is suddenly disappointing.  NCNW boss said she feels Biden and Harris have respected black people and will continue to do so.   Oh, no.  She needs to read The Grayzone, Empire Files, Scheerpost, Black Agenda Report, even Democracy Now! reporting would contradict such a sentiment.  It seems our Democrat-captive (perhaps, Stockholm Syndrome or trauma bond) leaders are “chumps”, with all due respect, in the logic of Malcolm X and many others.  Saliently, Dr. King never endorsed either party because they advance “The Three Evils of Society“: racism, militarism (i.e., imperialism), and materialism (i.e., capitalism).  […] music break:  “What’s Going On?” by Marvin Gaye […] 06:35 PST, on the Children’s Book Project.

On the procedural maneuver called “Reconciliation” in Congress.  But this disappointing discussion led by BET and MJ will not discuss sincere Truth and Reconciliation, nor Biden’s failure to sincerely acknowledge the 74 million that rejected him and are poised to embrace fascism, instead.  Worse, Biden is alienating everyone with his slew of executive orders, which will likely become yo-yo policies, when the GOP or some other new further right-wing political party comes along with a backlash. […]  07:14 PST, MJ continues with bourgeois politics.  We “might poison the well,” said Mitch Jeserich, if Biden doesn’t engage in bipartisanship, which is to say, if Biden doesn’t acquiesce to the “moderate Republicans” he’s meeting with today.  This sounds like bullshit.  Why do the Democrats always acquiesce to the Republicans?  But that never goes the other way around.  These white liberals, which seem to exclude Kat Brooks, spend all this time dissecting all these parliamentary rules about what Dems can and cannot do. Yet, Republicans do whatever they want without remorse.  For this, and many reasons, the Democrat Party and its supporters are insincere and do not constitute a meaningful opposition party.  If so, this misplaced time and energy invested in the Democrat Party is regressive and even insidious.  […]  As we listen to BET & MJ, we recall the spirit of Greta Thunberg’s recent condemnation of the Davos centrists and liberals, all this blah, blah, blah.  And nothing changes.  The Democrats achieve nothing, except blocking all perspectives to their left.  Meanwhile, the Republicans are allowed free reign to constantly push the political center to the right. BET, MJ, and his faction at KPFA have been blocking left perspectives for decades.  When Obama first ran, those of us on the left called out his neoliberalism and Imperialism.  We backed Nader.  BET, MJ, et al backed Obama’s neoliberalism!  Even Chris Hedges backed Obama, over Nader, in his first election cycle.  […]  07:30 , news MP > up next, COVID-19  […] ‘ivermectin’?

What, then, will they do about all of the problems created by the unemployment when brown workers are hurt by restrictions against the landscape industry?  They never acknowledged such consequences.  I am disappointed by The Ralph Nader Radio Hour.
