⬆️ #FalseHopes

#Bribe-fattened #SCOTUS #Justices, as part of the #secureSocialElites, have turned the #SupremeCourt into a #venalPublicOffice by ruling that #Corruption Law did not apply to tips, gifts, and payments meant to reward actions taken by state and local officials.

They did this by distinguishing after-the-fact rewards for #officialAction from before-the-fact bribes.

⬆️ I tagged the above #FalseHopes because that's what #HeritageFoundation president #KevinRoberts — who is part of the #secureSocialElites — is relying on in his opening salvo of #SecondAmericanRevolution.

He should learn from the tragic and violent #FrenchRevolution in which the mass of people who were NOT ordinarily predisposed to violence were nonetheless swept away and were consumed by it, only to the ultimate detriment of the secure social elite and the #monarchy.

Adding this to the above on #publicExecutions as #officialAction. It's not just #Trump. It's also ALL the mad people surrounding him — including the entire #GOP.

#SupremeCourt #PresidentialImmunity decision is so dangerous because the #RightWing #SCOTUS #Justices made it with FULL knowledge of historical precedent and #Trump's well-known #penchantForViolence in name of #officialAction.

#LouisXVI of #France repressed riots and #protests of 1775, known as the #FlourWar, by deploying 25000 troops and making an example out of 2 rioters — one in 20's and another, a teen — by publicly executing them in Place de Grève.

⬆️ #FalseHopes

After 4 decades of failed #Republican #TrickleDown, #RightWing #SCOTUS justices ruled #homelessness a crime.

Present conditions in America are disturbingly similar to those of pre-Revolutionary #France under #LouisXVI, whether it's #migrants (not same as #immigrants), #inflation, #poverty, or better-off people like #LeonardLeo, #HarlanCrow, corrupt #SupremeCourt #Justices and their spouses gaslighting us into believing that "all this is evidence of increasing #moralDepravity."

⬆️ 3 #FalseHopes

Emboldened by corrupt #SCOTUS decision on #PresidentialImmunity & FALSE hopes of #AmericanMonarchy under #Trump, #HeritageFoundation just fired opening salvo of #SecondAmericanRevolution based on another FALSE hope that it would be #bloodless — like the #GloriousRevolution that put William III of Orange on the #British Throne.

Knowing THAT hope is false, it is openly threatening #Democrats with #bloodshed, again FALSELY hoping to #intimidate us with its own #BrunswickManifesto.

At what cost to the planet?

How will covering the planet in renewable contraptions help to heal the planet from the harmful activities humans do on a daily basis?

It is human activity that has caused the CCrisis.

Why is curtailing those harmful activities not first on the list of solutions?
Instead, it's not even in consideration. No world leader has called for slashing our energy use as of yet.

Wind/solar production ensure business as usual tactics that led to this problem.
Even if we get to the point where renewables energize our grids, there will still be mining, destruction of what little is left of the natural world, more species pushed into extinction, more lands/water polluted/degraded.

Be pro renewables if you want, but at least be honest and say you don't care for the earth as a whole, and that you think we can survive without the life sustaining systems the natural world provides this planet.

Bc we are killing off those systems on a daily basis now. A thousand cuts eventually leads to a mortal wound.

@Jeremiah But ... then ... that confirms what I said? Very few people try to "vote by their money". And even if they do, the effect is often times nil.

If "customers have more say in the operation of a business" other than that, then it might change something?
