In a recent article, James Risen claims that we have forgotten who
Father Coughlin and General Edwin Walker are. Maybe some, but not all
of us. These loud mouthed promoters of the ugliest side of
Capitalism, sneered at, and trashed everything that was decent in
America. Donald Trump fits well in such sour-mouthed company.
Beyond that, I would suggest to James Risen that he is beating a dead
horse(LOH-shut). Risen needs to look past the Russian influence on
our last presidential election, and look instead to the Mega
International Corporations. As these giant International
Corporations, once upon a time small companies thriving in a
Capitalist brew, increase their world-wide influence, with fewer and
fewer restraints, and with no particular loyalty to national
boundaries or governments, and by making it easier to dump billions of
dollars into buying people favorable to the Corporate interests, these
Corporate cancers are the real threat to democracy and to all nations
on Planet Earth.
By allowing ourselves to be manipulated, we are being dragged pell
mell down a road toward a world dominated by huge conglomerates. It
will not end in Peace. Instead of warring nations, we will pledge our
loyalties to one corporation or another, becoming Bondsmen rather than
Citizens, and continue the slaughter of innocent people.
