Absence of Accountability

The absence of accountability that defines all levels of government in the United States is the culmination of forty years of intense strategic corruption of public institutions by the credit cartel, war profiteers, and polluting industries that has left Americans unprotected from organized crime emanating from Wall Street financial institutions and assisted by public agencies that have betrayed democracy and the rule of law.

This corruption has angered many Americans driving some to commit violence and others to despair. Neither of these responses is healthy, but understandable given the lack of effective organized opposition to the bipartisan fascism that has transferred public wealth to private equity on such a scale as to deprive half of our citizens of the basic necessities of life. Such a situation cannot long endure.

Even the non-profit industrial complex some have come to rely on as champions of the public interest has been thoroughly corrupted by aristocratic derivatives laundered through foundations. The false hope they have come to represent is part of the fascist strategy to undermine public involvement. As infantile consumers of the media spectacle of social fairytales, most Americans are clueless.

Candle for Sheila

Sheila O'Donnell, Private Investigator, passed away a year ago. I just found out.

In the 1990s, Sheila helped us fight the Christian Patriots here in Washington State.

Sheila became a quiet celebrity when she brought down the FBI and Oakland Police in federal court for framing redwoods activist Judi Bari after a bomb went off in her car, leaving her paralyzed. The FBI and Oakland PD, working on behalf of a hedge fund that wanted to liquidate the old growth redwood forest in Northern California, accused Bari of building the bomb to commit ecoterrorism.
