Friends, Republican leaders have mastered the art of manufacturing crises to divert the public’s attention from the real crisis of our era — the siphoning off of income, wealth, and power by a small group at the top.
Consider the fake fears they’ve been whipping up:
1. “Woke.” Florida’s governor (and now Republican presidential candidate) Ron DeSantis has declared “war on woke.” Immediately after the mangled launch to his campaign on Wednesday, he claimed on Fox News that “the woke mind virus is basically a form of cultural Marxism.” But what is woke? Can anyone define it? It seems like an all-encompassing term for what we used to consider tolerance — an attribute that in a different age was considered positive.
2. “Trans people.” Former president Donald Trump says that one of his top priorities if he’s reelected in 2024 will be a “sweeping federal rollback of transgender rights.” But why have he and so many Republican lawmakers targeted transgender people as dangers to the public? There’s not a shred of evidence that trans people are threats to anyone. But they’re easy scapegoats.
3. “Critical race theory.” Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s “day one” executive order banned the teaching of critical race theory. DeSantis and Texas Governor Greg Abbott have also banned it from the schools. Here again, though, there’s no evidence of a public threat. CRT simply teaches America’s history of racism, which students need to understand to be informed citizens. Banning it is a scare tactic to appeal to a largely white, culturally conservative voter base.
4. “Couch potatoes.” In the negotiations over a bill to raise the debt ceiling, Republicans demanded that work requirements be added to food stamps and welfare, alleging that too many “couch potatoes” were receiving benefits. Like Ronald Reagan’s claim that so-called “welfare queens” were collecting benefits without working, the “couch potato” characterization is a cruel pretext — and racial dog whistle — for imposing additional work requirements on public assistance for those in need, when the needy often have difficulty finding work that pays enough to live on. The vast majority of poor people who collect benefits already work exceedingly hard.
5. “Out of control government spending.” Rubbish. In fact, discretionary spending has fallen more than 30 percent in the past 50 years as a percentage of the nation’s gross domestic product (from 9.6 percent in 1973 to 6.6 percent in 2022). Lately, rising deficits have been driven by Social Security and Medicare (to be expected, as boomers retire), and by defense spending. But the biggest culprits have been George W. Bush’s and Donald Trump’s huge tax cuts that mostly benefited the wealthy and big corporations — and that will have added $8 trillion and $1.7 trillion, respectively, to the debt by the end of the 2023 fiscal year.
All five of these so-called crises have been manufactured by the GOP. They’re entirely made up.
Why? To deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans.
As the super-wealthy and big corporations pour money into politics — especially into the GOP — they don’t want the rest of America to notice they’re rigging the economy for their own benefit, that their unrestrained greed is worsening the climate crisis, and that they’re also undermining democracy.
So the game of the Republican Party and their major donors is to deflect and distract — to use scapegoating, racism, and outright lies to disguise what’s really going on.
Friends, don’t let them get away with it.

Dear Gregory Vanderlaan,
Hope you're doing well.
Thanks for sharing your concerns with us.
Many factors figure into the price of a gallon of gasoline. In addition to the higher price of crude oil these days, other factors include the competitive conditions in the marketplace, costs associated with fuel distribution, local, state, and federal taxes, and fixed costs of doing business such as the cost of real estate, buildings, and equipment.
The vast majority of our branded stations across the US are owned by independent businesspeople who make their own decisions about the prices to charge at their stations.Thank you for again your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
Sincerely,

The Energy Department sent an invitation to oil industry executives Wednesday night to meet next week to discuss high gas prices, an official familiar with the matter tells CNN.
The official said the invitation went out to the same seven oil companies to which President Joe Biden wrote a letter on Tuesday: Marathon Petroleum, Valero Energy, ExxonMobil, Phillips 66, Chevron, BP and Shell.
Headline: House approves bill to combat gasoline ‘price gouging’ - May 19th, 2022But Republicans Killed the Bill so they Could Continue to Get Bribes from Oil Companies...
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/house-approves-bill-to-combat-gasoline-price-gouging
A closely divided House approved legislation Thursday to crack down on alleged price gouging by oil companies and other energy producers as prices at the pump continue to soar.
A bill backed by House Democrats would give President Joe Biden authority to declare an energy emergency that would make it unlawful to increase gasoline and home energy fuel prices in an “excessive” or exploitative manner. The bill directs the Federal Trade Commission to punish companies that engage in price gouging.
“At a time when people across the country are feeling the pinch at the gas pump, Congress needs to be doing all it can to bring down costs for American families,″ said Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., who co-sponsored the bill.
She called it “infuriating” that spikes in gas prices were “happening at the same time that gas and oil companies are making record profits and taking advantage of international crises to make a profit. This must stop.″
The measure was approved, 217-207. Republicans unanimously opposed the bill, along with four Democrats.

How America’s Bipartisan Elite Lost Our Future, and What It Will Take to Win...
Why is America’s governing class so indifferent to the fate of its people? In his provocative new book, The Global Class War, economist Jeff Faux argues that now that they can find workers and investment opportunities elsewhere, America’s rich and powerful are abandoning the social contract that until recently had united the economic interests of all Americans.
Faux explains how globalization is creating a new global political elite?”The Party of Davos”?who have more in common with each other than with their fellow citizens. Their so-called trade agreements (like NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization act as a global constitution that protects only one kind of citizen?the corporate investor. The inevitable result will be a drop in American living standards that will have dramatic political consequences. Faux concludes with an original strategy for bringing democracy to the global economy beginning with a social contract for North America.
In general, I Oppose Assassination with One Exception... PUTIN... He's going to keep on doing Evil for the Rest of his Life... and Some Other Russian Ought to Make that Life SHORT.
Maybe I'm Wrong... Maybe Just Arresting Putin and Sending Him to a Prison Camp in Siberia Would be Enough... but Maybe He would Escape and Come Back to do Evil Again!

1. Tax the Rich, Cut Taxes for the 99%. All that Extra Money in People's Paychecks will Bubble UP Throughout The Entire Economy.

How to Whip Inflation Now 2022 [FICTION] Since Raising Prices is a Voluntary Choice by Corporate CEOs... WHAT IF?
[Disclaimer]
"What If We Whipped Inflation by USING ACTUAL WHIPS on the People That are CAUSING The Problem? Maybe They Would "Voluntarily" Choose to Lower Prices? Could Happen!" - Said Silly Billy...
.jpg)
"Oh, Baby... You Shouldn't Say Things Like That! You'll get Banished from FaceBorg for Threatening Violins!" Replied Sweet Susan...
"Maybe You're Right... With That New Job I've Got at That High Rate of Pay... Inflation isn't really Much of a Problem... and i Should Focus my Attention on ART! Instead. Look at This!" - Said Silly Billy...
.jpg)
"That's Excellent! You Should Sell That on Your Zazzle Store!" - Advised Susan
Click Here to Shop for Ornaments!"I Remember..." Said Silly Billy "But It Would Work! As I Said in that Top Secret Email to My Weather Underground Co-Conspirator... "
"The Best Plan Would be for Capitalist Leaders to BEHAVE In a Way That Would Benefit Humanity... For Example: What If The CEO of Chevron Reduced the Price of Gas Instead of Making Insane Profits... How Could that be done? I keep on thinking that KIDNAPPING the CEO and Having him Call his Vice president and tell him reduce prices or the kidnappers will cut off one finger a day until they actually reduce prices... I Figure one the kidnappers actually cut off a couple of fingers and Mailed them to the media... Chevron WOULD REDUCE PRICES!
>
and With enough Media Attention... EXXON and BP would Voluntarily Reduce Prices... BEFORE their CEO Gets Kidnapped..."

Here's an Example of REAL "Human Energy" - Chevron's advertising Campaign is Greenwashing in order to Distract the Public from INSANE CORPORATE PROFITS caused by High Gas Prices...
and Then Susan Said: "What If 'The Men Who Stared at Goats' Movie Really Worked? Could We Use Psychic Energy To Get Stuff Done? WHAT IF Instead of Using Kidnapping and Violins to Modify a CEOs Behavior... We Had a Prayer Circle that Focused our Psychic Energy on His Brain... and Maybe Emailing specific instructions... email the plan of Healing Corporate-Corporate Greed Freaks from their Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome... Those Evil People CAN BE HEALED!"
and Billy Said: "That's a Great Plan... Especially the NOT Going to Prison Part!"
"Let's Build a Social Media Marketing Campaign and... MAKE IT HAPPEN!" Said Susan
"Let's Have Our Rag Tag Tribe CONTACT CHEVRON
https://www.chevron.com/about/contact/email-chevron
and Tell 'em that Our People will Post a Worldwide "SELL CHEVRON STOCK" recommendation! on Those All Message Boards...
https://blog.feedspot.com/stock_market_forums/
That Action Can Influence the Stock Price... and It's a Way To Hold Their Stock HOSTAGE Until They Lower Prices at the Gas Pump!" - Said Susan
"Sell Chevron Stock and Buy Carrier or Trane. The Hotter it Gets, The More Air Conditioners People Buy." - said Silly Billy
and This is What She Said in her Email to Chevron Corporate Headquarters: "Please Reduce the Price of Gasoline. I Noticed that When You Raised the Price, Your Profits went Sky High... Basically Stealing Money from Average Americans and Putting it in the Bank Accounts of the Super Rich... That's a Horrible Thing You Did. STOP! No Amount of "Human Energy" TV Ads Will Remove The Bad Taste in My Mouth from Your Corporate Greed... Do You Suffer From Compulsive Hoarding of Money Syndrome? That's a Mental Health Disease That Doctors Can Cure! GET HELP NOW!"

Dear Gregory Vanderlaan,
Hope you're doing well.
Thanks for sharing your concerns with us.
Many factors figure into the price of a gallon of gasoline. In addition to the higher price of crude oil these days, other factors include the competitive conditions in the marketplace, costs associated with fuel distribution, local, state, and federal taxes, and fixed costs of doing business such as the cost of real estate, buildings, and equipment.
The vast majority of our branded stations across the US are owned by independent businesspeople who make their own decisions about the prices to charge at their stations.Thank you for again your feedback and allowing us the opportunity to respond to your concerns.
Sincerely,
Jhun Concepcion
Consumer Connection Center Specialist

I Noticed That in The Letter From Chevron Corporate, the one factor Missing from their list of Causes for High Gas Prices was... WAR PROFITEERING or CORPORATE GREED...
Headline: Biden accuses oil companies of ‘war profiteering’ and threatens windfall tax. President pleads with energy firms to invest profits in lowering costs for American consumers...
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/01/biden-oil-companies-war-profiteering-windfall-tax-ukraine
Headline: Big Oil’s Second-Biggest Profit Haul Poses ‘Awkward’ Problem. Oil majors’ third-quarter earnings set to top $50 billion. Companies are holding back on new investment as cash piles up...
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-25/big-oil-s-profits-just-keep-rolling-in-as-world-economy-sputters
Headline: Exxon and Chevron Made Record Profits as Gas Price Gouging Hit Californians...
https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/10/28/exxon-and-chevron-made-record-profits-as-gas-price-gouging-hit-californians/
https://www.chevron.com/about/leadership/michael-wirth
I saw Michael Wirth on a TV Interview Program and The Lame Excuses He Made for High Prices/High Profits Made Me Angry... I Had to Change the Channel... He Kept on Saying it Was Someone Else's Fault... and I Don't Believe That! Wirth serves on the board of directors of Catalyst. He is also chairman of the board of the American Petroleum Institute, and is a member of the National Petroleum Council, the Business Roundtable, the World Economic Forum International Business Council, and the American Society of Corporate Executives. SO... If There Ever Was a Man Responsible For High Gas Prices... Mike's The Man!

Save That for Later Emails... When We Threaten to Deploy a DDOS Attack on their Website... That Would Get the Attention of the Corporate-Corporate Wankers that Work There... A Distributed Denial of Service would Interfere with their Business Model... and One Thing Those Greed Freaks Fear is Bad Public Relations! Look at How Much they Spend on the "Human Energy" TV Ads... What The F*CK is That Supposed to Mean? The Matrix? Using People as Batteries? or maybe Converting Human Fat to Electricity using Exercise Bicycles Driving Alternators? THAT'S Human Energy!" - Said Silly Billy

[Author's Note: The Movie was Based on the True Story of the US Army's Exploration of Using Psychic Powers as a Weapon of War. Soldiers Lead by Lt Colonel Jim Channon "Dare to Think the Unthinkable." - Some Ask Why was This Project Ended? and the Answer is... It Never Really Ended... The US Army Just took Everything They Learned and Started Training ALL SOLDIERS to be SuperSoldiers... Is the Slogan: "Be All That You Can Be." is Rather Similar to The Conclusions of Lt. Col Jim Channon. and He Wrote a Book, Moved to Hawaii... and Started Giving Training Retreats for Corporate Executives... In Other Words... He Created Heaven on Earth and Lived There!

A closely divided House approved legislation Thursday to crack down on alleged price gouging by oil companies and other energy producers as prices at the pump continue to soar.
A bill backed by House Democrats would give President Joe Biden authority to declare an energy emergency that would make it unlawful to increase gasoline and home energy fuel prices in an “excessive” or exploitative manner. The bill directs the Federal Trade Commission to punish companies that engage in price gouging.
“At a time when people across the country are feeling the pinch at the gas pump, Congress needs to be doing all it can to bring down costs for American families,″ said Rep. Kim Schrier, D-Wash., who co-sponsored the bill.
She called it “infuriating” that spikes in gas prices were “happening at the same time that gas and oil companies are making record profits and taking advantage of international crises to make a profit. This must stop.″
The measure was approved, 217-207. Republicans unanimously opposed the bill, along with four Democrats.

Accusation of lying to Congress
In 2021, Woods denied that Exxon had covered up its own research about Big Oil's contribution to the climate crisis. The chair of the Congressional committee taking Woods' testimony likened Woods' denial to the decades' long lies by the American tobacco industry denying that nicotine is addictive.[11] Woods also declined to make a pledge to stop lobbying against climate initiatives.[11]
