            A lexicon dedicated to apt reality based definitions of many American political terms

 

Clean Money-Clean Elections:

a particularly devious means for counter-revolutionary retrograde reformers to keep elections focused upon candidates raising money from contributors, rather than having society sensibly provide equal public access for all candidates to freely contribute ideas

a sure way for the corporate-state to cheaply purchase emerging political entities, ensuring that they will obediently collaborate in protecting and preserving the state, and never disobediently produce any real systemic change

a corrupt bureaucratic-minded scheme designed to preserve the problem, by creating a bureaucracy to manage money in elections, instead of removing money from elections

an alternative corrupting policy championed by the "progressive" conservatives who are opposed to getting all money out of elections

a "progressive" effort to organize the corruption of money in elections, so money can corrupt candidates more efficiently

a policy with Orwellian labeling advocated by those desiring some dirty money spread around in their campaigns

 

public funded elections:

the public financing the corporate party's (R) & (D) candidates in every election pre-determined by districting, so private money can focus upon massively funding the corporate party's candidates in any possibly contested elections

a dishonest advocacy intent upon maintaining a problem — money in elections — in opposition to the only honest solution, which would be no money in elections

tthe public giving money to candidates the public doesn't support, who believe that their having more money is the only answer for too much money in elections

a desperate means to keep money deciding, keep money deciding, keep money deciding

policy keeping money contributions more important than ideas contributed

the public providing the money to fund the corruption of candidates

 

reform:

paint over rot

a liberal means of preserving rot that should be removed

liberal measures taken to prevent a solution, with intent to protect and preserve the problem

— Graphic by David Cyr, using energy stacks provided by David MacKay

"Please don’t get me wrong: I’m not trying to be pro-nuclear. I’m just pro-arithmetic."

David J. C. MacKay is a Professor of Natural Philosophy, in the Department of Physics, at Cambridge University. He is also the Chief Scientific Advisor to the British government's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).

In his book, Sustainable Energy (without the hot air), MacKay has provided an indispensable tool for the people who want humans to get fit... rather than remain unfit to survive.

Voter Consent Wastes Dissent
Written by David Cyr

Does it make any sense for people to keep voting for what they protest against?

In these Corporate States of America, elections function as a barometer for the corporate-state to frequently measure the actual level of societal dissidence. No other polls matter.

Street demonstrations and civil disobedience haven't had any effect — haven't produced desired change — because near all the demonstrators have later corporate obediently supported the corporate money manufactured Republican and Democrat candidates. Elections have only been serving to provide proofs positive that a supermajority of participants (voters voting) either affirmatively support, or they meekly acquiesce to having "our government" continue to do unto others and to themselves whatever the sociopathic corporate persons decide.

The Devolution of Liberalism
Written by David Cyr   
Saturday, 23 July 2011

 de·vo·lu·tion

noun: retrograde evolution: degeneration: a lowering of effective power, vitality, or essential quality to an enfeebled and worsened kind or state

With every election, the corporate party's great wall imprisoning the minds of Americans has gotten longer, taller, and stronger. The Republicans have provided the rigidly inflexible bricks, and the Democrats have provided the flexible mortar that has hardened itself tightly around those bricks, binding conservatives and liberals all together in solidarity as one immobile mass confined together within a virtual gulag.
