[ANALYSIS and OPINION]
This page is dedicated to videos and material we deem important but which, for one reason or another did not get enough clicks or views. We touched on the reasons for this in our intro to Volume 1. Here’s the link to Vol. 1:
Volume 1 Important but Ignored
A portion of this next video is really an update of our earlier video regarding birth rates and its affect on Trump’s vision of MAGA.
In drafting this post, we ran across Senator Sanders’ next video which is primarily about Gaza. It made a big impression on us. Everyone of conscience should watch it.
First, there’s no doubt the Jewish people have suffered tremendous atrocities (including Hitler’s genocide) during their history and that Hamas’ attack on October 7, 2023 was murderous wrongful and horrific. In that attack about 1,200 Israelis were killed and about 250 taken hostage. Moreover Hamas is still holding hostages. But several huge points need to be made:
1. While the October 7th attack by Hamas was murder on a grand scale, Israel’s retribution has greatly exceeded that which is just and what Israel and Natanyahu are doing should be constitutd war crimes. This is because Israel has killed over 50,000 Gazans (regardless of whether they belonged to Hamas or not). This figure includes women and children. 112,000 Gazans have been wounded. Moreover, virtually all of Gaza’s infrastructure has been destroyed. This is not to mention that during the last 30 days Israel has also not allowed any supplies of any kind into Gaza. In short, Gaza has been destroyed and its remaining desperate population are now being starved.
2. President Trump’s plan to dispossess 2.2 million Gazans and turn Gaza into some kind American sponsored commercial real estate venture or resort is nothing but a new form of international aggression and is beyond outrageous. It enrages any fair minded compassionate person and is immoral on a scale that only wannabe dictators like Netanyahu and Trump could conceive.
3. Netanyahu, like Trump, is a dictator wannabe who is probably trying to stay out of jail and, for that reason is always in search of a political problem to take the attention off of his own misdeeds.
4. After World War II, the world basically took Palestinian land and gave it to Israel. That would enrage anyone and folks often forget this fact when assessing the moral character of the members of various Palestinian factions, including Hamas and/or Hezbollah and/or the righteousness of their cause.
5. And then Americans wonder how something like 9/11 can happen. It is facts such as those mentioned in this next video, that can and will cause decades, if not centuries of terrorism and paybacks well into the future.
6. Does any of this demonstrate that Jews have disproportionate power over policy making in Washington D.C.?
7. It is things, especially such as that listed in #3 above, that make our video titled “America’s Final Solution” video seem much less far fetched than people might think. That video is below Senator’s Sanders’ video which also follows.
8. Just to be clear. Senator Bernie Sanders is Jewish. So he has no reason to be antisemitic and/or pro-Palestinian. Here is his video:
Heres’ our America’s Final Solution video which we posted in the later part of March 2025:
Americans simply must realize that all these terrible things don’t just happen to “other people”. They can happen here as well especially with Trump, Musk and their followers in power.
Next is our post of April 18, 2025, It’s about making a deal with the Devil. Do the Courts matter? Or do we just clean house and worry about the law later?
We’ve constantly hammered away on the fact that tariffs are a tax on goods that we import and are thus a trade barrier and inflationary. This was true back in 2008 to 2010 when our owner taught international business, and it’s true now. But don’t take it from us.. No matter how progressive some have accused us of being, we are definitely on board with the Gipper himself on this point.
And the amazing thing is, protecting jobs was a huge part of Trump’s initial and continuing appeal to MAGA followers, when in fact Trump’s policies will hurt them and perhaps destroy our economy. Trump is emphatically not a Republican–certainly not in the traditional sense. He is a demagogue who has started a cult whose followers consist of a disproportionately large portion of the population that cut government and/or history class but want to rule this country like a lynch mob in wild west days despite the fact that they have no idea what they’re doing. Trump lied on the campaign trail when he said he didn’t know what Project 2025 was or is and yet after getting back into office has implemented (and/or is implementing) most or all of it–and in the process is decimating government agencies that are necessary for its proper functioning–and especially for helping the disadvantaged. He got less than 50 percent of the vote and yet says he has a mandate. He lied on his financial records, was convicted of 34 felony counts, has had numerous former aids who have been convicted of crimes and/or been disbarred. The record is clear. A Colorado court said that because of his support of rioters on January 6, 2021 he was an insurrectionist. Trump is an extremely dangerous charlatan who was bought by a nearly $300 million gift from Elon Musk, the South African, (himself an incredibly rich and potentially dangerous man) who has come in and re-arranged and weakened government probably so that he can get additional business with it. His situation vis a vis the government and his vast business connections in robotics, artificial intelligence, satellite communication are also extremely alarming because they are potentially very threatening if used improperly.
And all of this was made possible by a Supreme Court, two of whose justices take large gifts from Republican donors. Now Trump has spread his cancer throughout government. These are, by far, the worst and darkest days in our history. Worse than Pearl Harbor, worse than the Civil War. Why? Because the stench of corruption and outright incompetence now runs through the entire core of our federal government. And, make no mistake, it is a stomach turning stench. All caused by Trump, Musk, Fox News, Rupert Murdoch and all right wing news going all the way back to Rush Limbaugh who started the demonization of anyone who was not conservative. Trump has clearly demonstrated that he will not abide by court orders, that he will payoff and/or intimidate large law firms who represent opposing parties and, in the end, that he will pay no attention to the Constitution. He is brazenly acting like a dictator and is likely trying hard to stay out of jail for past misdeeds. Trump must be impeached–now. The longer he is in power the more likely it is that he will be there forever. Write your Congressman and Senator today ! Tell them to impeach and then remove Trump from office–and do so quickly before he does more irreparable damage to our democracy.
And one other thing. There are laws the prohibit conspiring with and/or aiding and abetting criminal activity. Those laws very probably need to be zealously enforced against most, if not all, all members of Trump’s administration. They know darned well that he is wrongfully seizing power and are assisting him in his wrongful activities. They must be held accountable as well. It’s time for all citizens to stop pretending this huge problem is going to go away. Trump has no intention of playing by the rules. Our country is in a huge amount of danger and we must act quickly before it’s too late.
Moving on…..
As far as we know the Elon Musk’s proposed $50 Billion Tesla bonus is still up in legal limbo because the courts have not yet finally decided whether its legal. The audacity to request such a bonus, however, is breathtaking and it lays bare the issue of the vast wealth and income inequality that exists today. In Rao’s Solution (a novel by David Dixon Lentz) links for which are on this site, it’s pointed out that the pay gap ratio between the very highest paid CEOs and workers in the 1960s was about 100 to 1. Thus in a company where workers made $5,000 per year, CEOs would make roughly $500,000. Today, CEO’s make far more than that 100 times what workers make. 700 to 1 is not unheard of for some companies. This is contributes to the rise of oligarchy and the politically corrupting influence that money has on the American political scene. Elon Musk contributed well over $250 million to Trump’s 2024 Presidential campaign and Musk’s deep pockets make him a very influential force especially in Republican politics. Political decisions should be based on the merits of the various arguments presented by the candidates. Not on the basis of who has the deepest pockets and/or the largest campaign war chest.
In the last 10 years, Democrats have the mourned loss of the support that they traditionally had from workers at election time. Rao’s formula might well provide Democrats with a way to reconnect with workers. Folks are still struggling to catch up with the inflation caused largely by supply chain disruptions which, in turn, were caused by Covid, the Ukraine War, the bird flu, during 2021 through 2023. Increased federal deficit spending also contributed to inflation. Regardless, of the causes, however, worker wages have to catch up with the price increases caused by past inflation. This is because, for most goods (things like gas being the exception) it is very unusual for prices to come down once they’ve gone up.
Rao’s Solution provides one very unique way to go about raising worker pay. If Rao’s formula is put into law it would: start the process of reducing the unacceptable gap in CEO versus worker pay. Reduce the influence of the plutocrat/oligarchs in our society; and help everyone fight inflation by increasing worker pay. And, it would do so, in a way that is probably less inflationary itself than other ways of increasing worker pay.
Here’s an example of what Rao would require if Tesla’s board of directors were confronted with a request for a $50 Billion bonus where only Musk would receive all of the bonus funds.:
BETTER WAY TO PAY WORKERS MORE
REDUCE INCOME GAP BETWEEN CEOS AND WORKERS
UNDER RAO’s UNIQUE FORMULA
(in Rao’s Solution by David Dixon Lentz)
MUSK WOULD NOT GET ALL $50 BILLION
OF HIS REQUESTED BONUS
INSTEAD
EACH OF TESLA’S 141,000 EMPLOYEES
WOULD GET:….. $354,000
MUSK WOULD GET
“ONLY”………………. $35 MILLION
(NOT BILLION)
AND
PROBABLY LESS LIKELY
TO INCREASE PRODUCT COSTS
LESS LIKELY TO CAUSE INFLATION
