10/2021 American Police departments are being privatized

Updated: Aug 8, 2022


Democrats and Republicans goal:


“‘Brave New World’ predicted today’s world better than any other novel”


“His book (Brave New World) warns us of the dangers of mass media, passivity, and how even an intelligent population can be driven to gladly choose dictatorship over freedom"......."This 1931 novel predicted modern life almost to a (model) T. While other dystopias get more press, Brave New World offers us a nightmare world that we've moved steadily towards over the last century. Author Aldous Huxley's ideas on a light handed totalitarian dictatorship stand in marked contrast to the popular image of a dictatorship that relies on force"

And Joe Manchin is blocking elimination of the filibuster and sensible elimination of voter suppression laws. He is the face of our two parties’ elimination of democracy in favor of the rich and oppression by authoritarian oligarchy as the global environment dies from greenhouse gases. He and Kyrsten Sinema are animals. They are not even human:


“Exxon Manchin

Joe Manchin’s son runs the coal brokerage firm Enersystems now. Joe Manchin took in $491,000 from Enersystems last year. Gayle Manchin brought in $613,000 from the company.


$1.1 million to Manchin and his wife and he won’t answer any questions about it.:

We are seeing the individuals and machinations of our two parties’ killing democracy:

“Koch Brothers still own a lot of real estate, but their best investment may be the Manchin they bought in West Virginia.”


*


Biden = Trump,…again:


“Biden under fire from Congress for waiving sanctions on Russian gas pipeline company

Republicans accused Biden of placating German Chancellor Angela Merkel and handing Russian President Vladimir Putin a geopolitical win”


*


“Biden's acquiescence to Russia and Germany on Nord Stream 2 pipeline threatens European stability, critics say”

“Tipping Points Explained: NGC: DiCaprio Speaks with Johan Rockstrom - Earth League 2016

"We are at a fork in the road... one path leads to long slow recovery for earth. maybe 100 - 200 years for the oceans to cool back off..... or the path where we are emitting 15-25% more Co2 in 2030; and then the purge happens, then prepper v prepper, then Ken burns the dust bowl, and ultimately mad max. I just want to reassure you that you will not be ridiculed or lose credibility (that was a valid concern years ago) But at this point its ok to talk about societal and food chain collapse, tipping points... runaway climate change. it's all realistic now. . dystopian futures. you are not alone. Lots of scientists do it now. I remastered this for you. From 5 years ago!"

Despite Jamie Dimon thinking +6C is acceptable, the rich political economic class will soon find out that all the consequences of the warming already locked in are more than enough to force them into a protracted death inside their luxury bunkers

“Bernie Sanders goes ballistic on Joe Manchin: Stop holding Prez, 48 Senators, & Americans hostage.”

“Democrats could be on the 'precipice' of a minority-party era” BY CHOICE!

Applies to the Democratic Party as well as the Republicans just as it applies to male and females:

“A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions for nations as to make him (and her) ruthless in his (and her) use of deceit or violence to attain his (and her) ends.” Henry A. Wallace.

Reader Comment:

“Kelly Patrick Gerling

The correlations between this list and the overall ranking of nations on the UN Human Development Index are no accident. If the goal of applied MMT is to fulfill public purpose, child care and the well-being of children are important parts of that goal.”

Democrats are worthless co-conspirators to destroying our democracy


“Ferrari-driving megapastor Joel Osteen (worth$50 million) and his tax-exempt “church” repay taxpayers $4.4 million in “emergency” pandemic PPP loans they milked from the government after a massive outcry erupts. Should Joel Osteen and his MegaChurch be forced to pay taxes?”

American Police departments are being privatized:


“Police foundations are a threat to democracy and Black lives.”


“Put simply, corporate-backed police foundations give equipment and money to police departments, funding programs that target and criminalize Black and Brown communities.


You might not know much about police foundations, but you definitely know their sponsors: Verizon, Walmart, Starbucks, Amazon, Bank of America, Target, Delta Airlines, AT&T, Chevron, Uber, and major sports teams, to name just a few.


Corporations should NOT be in the business of policing. Giving private cash to the police enables corruption, conflicts of interest, and police violence. “


“Police budgets are public documents that must be approved by elected officials. In contrast, police foundations are private organizations that fund violent, militarized policing behind closed doors and without public oversight.”

“The truth is, we’re not broke. The US dollar comes from the US government (not from China, as we’re led to believe).

The US government is not revenue-constrained. It is the ISSUER of the currency, not the USER.”

Professor of Public Policy and Economics

Stony Brook University
