This Blog has to do with social advocacy and the goal of moving humanity forward by creating a compassionate and balanced existence with one another and the planetary environment we call Earth.
To Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) We cannot talk about the topic of climate change without addressing the current energy industry. It's a privatized industry basically working as a middle man to manage the public resources used to produce energy for our country. We know this as a carbon-based or sometimes referred to as a fossil fuel based industry. Economics ties into our dilemma because so many powerful people subscribe to the cultish beliefs of The Free Market System. And because of this we have all been subjected to the proliferation of archaic means of energy production, not only in our own country but around the world. Much money is being made by a select few by holding the world hostage to the fossil fuel industry way of meeting our energy needs. Now I know some people, the President included, have stated that natural gas is a clean alternative to oil and coal. Let's remind them that methane is a greenhouse gas. Let's also remind them that exploiting and contaminating our fresh water aquifers in order to drill for natural gas is hardly what any sane person would call clean energy. In 2014 energy technology should be helping to make people more independent and more sufficient in obtaining their energy needs. It should be freeing up the ability for many more people to travel near and far. Our elderly and our children should never have to fear freezing to death in the winter due to an unpaid utility bill. Our families should easily be able to grow a portion of their own organic food all year around if they want to. Empowering citizens to become more sufficient in providing for their own needs, without depending on a Corporation which is exploiting them for profit, is what we should be aspiring to. This is what advancing energy technology could do, and should do, as our society evolves towards more balance within our ecosystem. Solar power does not require humans to be subjected to a profiteering middleman, in order to keep from freezing to death or to feed themselves, and this is a good thing.

We all know Michele Bachmann is as crazy as the day is long. Call it training on her part, to excellently get her talking points out, if you want to. I still see a crazy person. I think her "ability" needs to be addressed because it's not doing anybody any favors as far as improving society. The non-psychopath would never be so charmingly interruptive (subversively rude) to let loose a verbal tsunami, sweeping through an endless litany of absolute non-facts with such confidence. If you haven't seen the interview between Bachmann and Sanders I will try and post it here. You need to see this behavior in action to be able to comprehend and identify it in the future.
One of the most dedicated and genuine people working in the US Congress, Independent Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont (Jewish) was basically tagged-teamed by two Zionist-Capitalists (at least one a certifiable psychopath) during this interview. This is the sh*t that happens in our corporate media to good people who aspire to public service and 'we the people' suffer for it. The only way to combat this is to identify it for what it is, corruption and criminal behavior. Some might claim if the perpetrators are psychopaths then we really can't call them criminals for suffering from a mental illness. But this is just not true. Serial killers and other heinous criminals are identified as such when they obviously suffer from some mental deficiency that has a hand in how and why they hurt others. What should a person do if they're called to debate an obvious psychopath? I say prepare.
Watch videos of them in interviews with others. Learn their talking points, stop the video to write each one down. Then devise an answer for each. Short, sweet and to the point, use facts. Remember, they are on a roll and won't give you time to express your views in the way normal healthy thoughtful people do. Write your answers down, put them on flash cards to learn them so well you can repeat them back in any order. Remember, the facts are on your side.
Also, for each false statement in the videos you review, write down a question to respond with. For instance, when Bachmann says "...it's all about jobs, I'm for more jobs," call her on it. Bernie could say, "How can you say that when Congress has never passed the Presidents Jobs Bill?" She will then repeat her lie, and you will reform your question into a statement. "The Congress won't pass the Presidents Jobs Bill so nobody believes you when you say that." Then shame for her for lying by showing you are not alone (millions of us are watching). He could say, "How can you keep saying you care about jobs when the whole world has watched the Republican Congress blatantly ignore the Presidents Jobs Bill for years now while Americans suffer?"... Remember to project your voice calmly and clearly.
They will skip around and come at you with your own issues (crazy, I know). For example, how in the hell could Bachmann accuse President Obama of having an economic war on women, when one of the first actions he took in office was signing the Lilly Ledbetter Act into law? The Republican led House of Congress to this day won't allow it to be enforced, which would give women equal pay. Be aware of this tactic and be ready to throw your perfectly worded answer in their face. (Have some fun! Lol)
Be prepared for the psychopath to talk over your important words. But know they are important and people need to hear them, even if your opponent doesn't want to hear them. You're not really there to talk to the person you are debating. You are there to bring your message of hope to the people. It gives people hope to see someone stand up to their oppressors. Michele Bachmann is a psychopathic liar, she did it over and over and over again in the interview. It was so shocking a regular person couldn't help but be flabbergasted. And that was entirely her tactic, to render her opponent at a loss for words.
Whatever you do, please do not be intimidated by a psychopath politician. They are incapable of coming up with original solutions to the problems facing our world. They are incapable of relating to the suffering of people in the ways most of us do. They will make their fake attempts to try to convince their followers that they care. We see in the interview how Bachmann used her voice to whine while talking about the "poor woman" who needs a job. She is not saying anything here, she is actually using the sound of her voice as a weapon which is unexpected because it's what children do. You will be surprised how easy it is to expose that charade with examples of the sadistic and cruel policies they support.
