  1. KC-A basically just told Ed “Up Yours.” That bothers me a lot; it’s just not right. Although I hate it for you and for us, as long as such people are around, you probably need to start moderating the comments. Or possibly an at-a-distance intern or volunteer assistant?

    Sign me – Sorry for Us All

  2. Dear friends,This is just a draft, an idea I’ve been thinking about—a pledge of allegiance to an organization I believe should be formed to help save the USA from Israel and the corrupt oligarchy, before it’s too late: the United Christian Patriotic Front of Salvation for the 2028 elections, bringing together patriotic Americans like Max Blumenthal, Chris Hedges, Paul Craig Roberts, Ryan Dawson, Ray Mcgovern, John Mersheimer, Jeffrey St. Clair, Amy Goodman, Norman Filkenstein, Larry Johnson, Philip Giraldi, Michel Chossudowski, Scott Ritter, Douglas McGregor, Aaron Maté, Richard Wolff, Emmanuel Pastreich, Dr. Napolitano, Ron Unz, Tucker Carlson, the Socialist Equality Party, Jill Stein, Ron Paul, and many other patriotic americans. Its aim would be to provide an electoral alternative to defend the nation from what I see as its greatest threats—the 1% oligarchic plutocracy, Pentagon warhawks, and dark forces of the deep state—and to reshape the U.S. government into an anti-war, humanist administration that serves the working class, small business owners, poor citizens, and rural communities.

    The Pledge of Solidarity of the United Christian Patriotic Front of Salvation

    By signing this, a member is declaring their independence from the “Two-Party Trap” and their allegiance to the Producer Class and the Sovereign Truth.

    THE OATH OF THE SOVEREIGN PRODUCER
    Official Pledge of the United Christian Patriotic Front of Salvation
    I, ___________________________, in the presence of God and my fellow Producers, do hereby swear this solemn Oath of Solidarity:

    I. The Hard Break
    I formally renounce all allegiance to the Democratic and Republican parties, which I recognize as the dual instruments of a corrupt Oligarchic-Plutocracy. I pledge that my vote, my labor, and my resources will never again support those who serve the Bankers and the War Machine over the American people.

    II. The Truce of the Producers
    I swear to uphold the Great Truce. I will not allow differences of culture, religion, or identity to be used by the 1% to divide me from my fellow Producers. If my brother or sister works for a living and seeks the Truth, they are my comrade, and I will defend them as I defend myself.

    III. Allegiance to the Truth
    I commit myself to the pursuit of Radical Transparency. I will stand as a witness to the crimes of the Deep State—from the betrayal of the USS Liberty to the shadow operations of JFK and 9/11. I will reject the lies of the mainstream media and seek only the truth that sets us free.

    IV. Resistance to Occupation
    I pledge to oppose the influence of all foreign lobbies—specifically the Zionist Lobby (AIPAC) and the Military-Industrial Complex—which have hijacked our national sovereignty. I demand an America First policy of peace, humanist development, and the restoration of the currency to the People.

    V. The Communitarian Duty
    As a member of the UCPFS, I pledge to provide mutual aid to my fellow members. I will support local producers, buy from local farmers, and work to build a Communitarian Republic where the fruits of labor belong to those who toil, under the moral guidance of the Revolutionary Christ.

  3. Dear Edward and friends:I understand your concerns about people who use social networks, forums, and websites to post insulting comments. While I’m not perfect, I’ve been trying to share positive ideas on how we might create a United Front—a new political organization to serve as a platform for the 80% of Americans in lower-wage, lower-income brackets—to challenge the influence of the 20% representing the upper and upper-middle classes.

  4. Long overdue post, Ed.

    BTW, you have twice told us of a long-ago offer you received from a fellow teacher in the Brooklyn diocese. The offer was to become a military intelligence asset. The first time you relayed this anecdote, you said you responded with “choice words.” Recently, you referred to that encounter, and you merely said you experienced shock.

    My question to you is: What, exactly, were those choice words? You have never made any indication whether you responded in the affirmative or negative.

    1. That’s a very insulting question, Margaret, but I’ll answer anyway. Of course I said no, with these words: “Fuck you, Ray, you lowlife bastard,” and I walked away before I hit him.

  5. I hear ya, Ed! I have the same problem with certain individuals that try to post comments on my site. Of course, I delete them before they see the light of day…

    1. Hello M and Ed and everyone. The irony of this is…., Meaningful communications among the people of this nation is all but ZERO and has been for a very long time !
      If any more limitations, well I think the grand authorities are indicating they want the suppression and oppression of all citizens! Perhaps our communications, as they are limited, are not creating a real community with an understanding of our ‘Sameness’ as civilized human beings who are attempting to transcend all of this social decay, but instead are maintaining our subserviency!

      1. A quote by Jack Kerouac was brought to my attention:
        “One day I will find the right words and they will be simple”

        1. Another great quote about how being honest with others can sometimes lead them to dislike us:

          “The main task of thinkers, intellectuals and philosophers is to make other people feel depressed and sad” -Henry Miller

  6. Dear friends, dear Edward: That’s fine with me; this is your website, where you share your thoughts and feelings. If you don’t like our comments, I suppose I’ll conform to the anti-war, progressive conservative site run by Ron Unz, which is a conspiracy theory–leaning, conservative alternative forum, not a leftist one. Still, I think it’s one of the best places for political debates in the internet, as Ron Unz is very libertarian and strongly committed to the idea of freedom of speech.

    Thank you all

  7. Dear Edward and friends:I know this isn’t my website, but I believe that the more we talk, write, and communicate, sharing and exposing the problems, pains, and struggles people face in their everyday lives, along with the causes of those issues and the solutions to them (like a socialist, anti-war government), the better off we’ll all be. Staying silent is a crime during times of economic and political crisis.

      1. From a historical perspective, the real Jesus was a radical populist revolutionary, much like Che Guevara. In contrast, the Jesus Christ portrayed by the Catholic Church and most Protestant churches is depicted as a right-wing, imperialist, and oppressive figure.

        1. Maybe so, but the Buddha was someone (so we’re told) who gave up the trappings of wealth to live a simple Life. Can’t get more anarchist than that
