Worse Than Conflicts in Interest, Is Maniac President Elect Moving Us Closer To Hitler Like Oppression Here In America?

Ugly Trump Neck Matches Personality

So, how do you feel about fascism, Nazi sympathizers and the KKK taking over the White House, and every faction of our Federal Government?  Welcome to a Donald Trump Presidency!  In his latest attempt at stifling our First Amendment Rights, the Orange Menace himself tweeted out that the burning of an American Flag should be punishable by up to one year in prison and/or loss of our American Citizenship.  Let the fear and loathing begin! 

As if this were not enough, his various and assorted picks for his cabinet and other important positions gets scarier by the day.  Trump has drained the swamp and open the valve to the cesspool as his hand picked pieces of shit prepare to take over the task of running this already great country...the harm they are about to cause frightening in scope and vision.  Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, LGBT Rights are all now officially on the chopping block, as well as all those pesky fair housing laws that protect against discrimination.  

As if this is not enough, can we quit white washing (pun intended) Bigots, racists, Nazi's and other malcontents of the far far right by referring to them in the media as the Alt Right?   These monsters of our American Society seem to have but one goal...returning America to the good old days of WHITE SUPREMACY and making any one who is non white, or non Christian second or even third class citizens.

If all this does not bring visions of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich quickly to mind it should.   Trump's rise to power, his use and manipulation of Mass Media are racing down a path the world has seen before, a path that brought us World War II and the Holocaust, and if he is left unchecked, we are on the verge of repeating the darkest period of Human History as Satan's Demon-spawn marches us into a World War that we will not win.  When that war is over and finished, America as we knew it will be gone, and our position as the Super Power of the World will be over, our nation kicked into the dustbin of failed states.

On a separate note.

A simple Google Search or two quickly gives you the addresses of almost every Donald J Trump holding/building in the world.  If every citizen of America can access this information, so can every terrorist in the world who is looking for a target that would hurt America.   Donald J Trump becoming President of the United States of America has made everyone of his properties a target, and all of those who are renting office space in those buildings, who own apartments, condos in those buildings are foolish if they do not accept this very basic harsh truth.     As long as this horrid monster remains in the White House, none of his property are safe from becoming a target of those bent on doing harm to America.

Time For Citizens To Demand A Constitutional Amendment Giving Us Right To Recall The President

This Buffoon is Our Next President?

Less than 25 percent of eligible voters cast a vote in favor of the Orange Orangutan Donald J. Trump; the majority of America's citizens thinking this bigoted, racist misogynistic lunatic could never get elected to the highest office in the land, become the most powerful elected person in the World...yet through voter suppression, FBI and Russian intervention in the electoral process to elect our next president this insidious and insipid pimple on a maggot's ass managed to lose the "Popular Vote" by well over 2 million votes, yet winning enough "Electoral College" votes to be chosen (not by the people) as the 45th President of the United States.   Now we the citizens are facing an unthinkable horror...living under the reign of a fascist dictator who is having a bromance with Russia's Vladimir Putin, the most dangerous leader the world has known since Adolf Hitler.  

Sadly, there is little chance of the Republican controlled House and Senate actually moving forward to IMPEACH this self serving ego-maniacal, self serving, narcissistic mad man who as President Elect is already using the White House and his position to enrich himself,and his family.  Which begged the question, what can "We the People" to to save ourselves and our nation from Donald J. Trump?   Unfortunately, there is absolutely nothing we can do...our forefathers considered giving us the power of the recall, but it never made it into the Constitution.

Which begs the question, has the time come that "We The People"use our power of redress found in the "First Amendment" to petition both houses of Congress for a Constitutional Amendment giving "We the People" the power of recalling all Federally Elected Officials we find unfit to hold office? We could do a two for one amendment, one that grants us the right to recall officials elected to federal public office, and doing away with the Electoral College that gives an unfair weighted advantage to the votes in under-populated states.  How is it fair that say the votes of New York'ers carry far less weight in the Electoral College than the votes of people living in Wyoming or North Dakota?

A "Constitutional Amendment" will not rid us of the most ill-equipped President Elect America has ever seen, but it will give us an out if such a tragic specimen ever to claim the nomenclature of human-being should the voters of the future ever find themselves being duped by a similar set of villains that rigged this election (FBI, Russia, Wikileaks, Voter Fraud and Suppression,   Stupidity and Greed of Mass Media).

Army Corp, Federal, State and Local Governments Sell Out DAPL Protesters, Water Protectors

In what could be the last stand for the DAPL Protesters and Water Protesters, the Army Corp has sold them out, given them just days to vacate Army Corp land and leave their encampment or face Federal Charges.  In what can only be classified as a sell out to BIG OIL, the Army Corp issued the following statement.

These PEACEFUL Protesters Are Not The Violent Ones

“This decision is necessary to protect the general public from the violent confrontation between protestors and law enforcement officials that have occurred in this area, and to prevent death, illness, or serious injury to inhabitants of encampments due to the harsh North Dakota winter conditions.”

First, leave no doubt...THE VIOLENCE was not caused by the protesters and "Water Protectors" but by the contractors, their private security, and local/state law enforcement.  Secondly, find it very odd that Oil Field workers can live in campers,survive the harsh Dakota winters,but the Army Corp acts as of those protesting the DAPL are incapable of preparting their encampment for the coming winter season of cold and snow.   Lastly, and most importantly, the Army Corp's decision conveniently would allow  Energy Transfer Partners who merged with Sunoco to avoid financial ruination to complete the pipeline just in time to fulfill their contractual obligations to start pumping product through the line in early January.  Profits ahead of people...specifically, Profits ahead of Native Americans and their rights under Treaty!   Give BIG OIL what it wants,and maybe we will talk about some damages after the project is up and running....PROBABLY NOT.

This people CANNOT GO UNCHALLENGED!  We as a nation only have nine days to prepare, if necessary "A Last Stand" against the DAPL...Doing that means bodies! that means donations of money, food, and WINTER ACCOMMODATIONS...as in heaters, campers, firewood, and warm clothes.  The time has come for "We The People" to rise up in large numbers, time for us to exercise our 1st Amendment Rights to stand up to this rape of a people, stand up to this rape of our environment.

Black Friday Post Thanksgiving Thoughts

First, a special shout out to Dianne, and her fine staff at OD's here in Nyack for making our Thanksgiving Show one for the memory books.   If you are looking for incredible, locally sourced, GMO and Glutin free organic dining, this is the place to be.   Thank you Diane, staff, and our very own "Rockland Forager" for putting out a Thanksgiving spread worthy of the Pilgrims whom we are celebrating.  The show, and all the guests had a great time, and the sense of community share with all the guests is one that brought with it some memories I will carry on though out my life.

Black Friday...early reports are positive for retailers, which saddens this writer.  There were efforts online (Twitter) to generate a "#BoycottBlackFriday" movement, but alas that effort to make a statement about the unacceptability of Donald J. Trump as the 45th President fizzled out, unable to generate enough traction to get noticed.   That said, I will be skipping the day, and also will not participate in the Internet equivalent held this upcoming Monday.    Trump has divided America, he lost the Popular Vote, and I can never accept him as my President, so will be participating in any action to keep the negative focus on this vile excuse for a human being.

The DAPL protests are continuing, even on Thanksgiving.  Sadly, so does the push to complete the project before the end of the Calendar year.   In even stranger news, Energy Transfer Partners has just announced a merger with Sunoco Logistics Partners, another one of the vile partners in this Pipeline Project which is doomed to poison the drinking water in the area...it is noted here, that there is a Pipeline leak of significance every 30 hours here in America.

We here at "Voice of Reason" hope everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving filled with great food and family.   Remember to do something for those less fortunate than you on this special weekend.

NOTE-Just announced that Florence Henderson of "Brady Bunch" fame has passed away of heart failure...she will be missed.

War Declared on DAPL Protestors! 25 Degrees, Police ATTACKING PROTESTERS With Water Cannons!

OMG...just breaking on Twitter...President Barack Obama, you MUST STOP THIS!   You cannot sit on the sidelines your last 60 days in office.   America is turning its lonely eyes to you!

ALL CITIZENS...The Water Protectors are asking every American to call the Morton County Police and file a formal complaint!    Their number is 701 667 3318.   Being attacked by water cannons at night in fridgid 25 degree temperatures is far beyond the pale...PLEASE MAKE A CALL!

OUTRAGEOUS! It's 25° in North Dakota, the police are using water cannons, rubber bullets and gas grenades.

Dakota Pipeline War UPDATE...Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren, "PROFIT OVER PEOPLE"

“There’s not another way. We’re building at that location,” Energy Transfer Partners CEO Kelcy Warren told The Associated Press as the company digs in its feet, plans legal action to force his will on Native Americans...the question is, WHY? 

The Army Corp has not granted an easement under the Missouri River in North Dakota near a Native American tribe’s reservation, claiming more negotiation and discussion is needed to find COMPROMISE between the parties.   

Problem is, Kelcy Warren and his company have contract OBLIGATIONS to fulfill starting in January of 2017 and in his mind, that reality should take precedent over people,and safety.

Rather than having dialogue it seems Energy Transfer Partners is counting on their own very not so SECRET WEAPON, one "NOT MY PRESIDENT" Donald J Trump who is HEAVILY invested in the project.   That coupled with CEO Kelcy Warren's heavy investment of over $100,000 in Donald J Trump's Presidential Campaign suggests pay to play and corruption at the highest levels of our political process, and the corporate fossil fuel industry.

Pretending an interest in finding compromise, Ceo Kelcy Warren suggests he wants a PRIVATE MEETING with Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault in the hope (one has to think) of buying him off with a few beads and trinkets...sorry Kelcy, but those days are gone forever.  Preferring to have dialogue through proper channels that will give ALL STAKEHOLDERS THEIR PROPER VOICE, Dave Archambault has so far declined a request for a private meeting.

We at "Voice of Reason" will continue to update our readers on this important news story.

NOTE-Forbes lists CEO Kelcy Warren as the 150th richest man in the world with personal wealth of over $4 BILLION, making him, like Trump part of the upper one percent of the one percent.

NOTE-Contrary to Kelcy Warren's claims, pipelines are not near as safe as he would have you believe!  Independent analysis of federal records found that since 1986, oil and gas pipeline leaks, spills and other safety incidents have resulted in nearly $7 billion in damages, more than 2,000 injuries and more than 500 deaths. 

Voice of Reason Show for Tuesday November 15th, 2016

Please enjoy this weeks episode of the "Voice of Reason"  Key topics were the Fallout of a Trump Presidency,  Dakota Pipeline and who is funding it,and a brief touch on the topic of the Militarization of our local police departments...a subject we will be covering in a more in-depth fashion in the coming months.   Please join in the conversation, or start one by leaving a comment.   

Did Alexander Broadcasting, Inc. Dupe Local Citizens, and The FCC?

  

Where'd our LOCAL PROGRAMMING on AM RADIO GO?

If you listen to local AM Radio station 1700AM you have noticed what is, at the very least, some very ODD PROGRAMMING...especially when you look at all the reasons they stated in their request to have the FCC to put out a much stronger signal.   Here is what we here at the "Voice of Reason" know so far:

1.  All the programs the station had that had ANY KIND OF AUDIENCE have been ripped off the air, and now are only available via online streaming of these shows.

2.  The owners of the station have ODDLY and EGREGIOUSLY taken a local AM Signal and decided to dedicate it over solely to Indian Language programming from Radio India for the next 12 months...one has to wonder if this in the best interest of OUR COMMUNITY, or were the owners given a deal TO SWEET TO SAY NO TO by Radio Indie?

3.   We are not sure the FCC knows about this odd change that runs contrary to the expansion of their license from this writers perspective, but we will be filing an inquiry with several state and federal agency on this matter.

The station press release says,  “We look forward to serving our current audience and future listeners with great local, general interest and niche-specific programming.”  Would love to hear them explain how Indian Language programming and music from Radio Indie is consider GREAT LOCAL programming...STAY TUNED!

In the meantime, we are investigating this, and look for this to be a topic on "Voice of Reason" in the VERY NEAR FUTURE!  AS an aside...for those who do not know it, Rockland World Radio is starting its fourteenth year of broadcasting, is the most experienced truly local Internet Broadcast station in our area...something all of our Rockland County advertisers should remember when planning their advertising budgets...go where the listeners are, and go with the experienced local Radio Station to get results.

Kelcy Warren of "Energy Transfer Partners" Now Stooping To Bullying

We here at "Voice of Reason" have been giving extensive coverage to the Dakota Pipeline protests, humbled by the efforts of the Water Protectors and those who are supporting them as they stand up against the egregiously neglect corporate monsters who are putting profits ahead of environmental protections, and what is best for the communities being forced to play host to another dangerous pipeline.  Too often, despite false assurances that these projects are safe, a horrendous accident is not a question of if, but a question of when.

The money changers who have funded this project want the pipeline up and operational by the beginning of the New Year...in an attempt to meet this goal, and to thwart the will of the people it seems that Kelcy Warren  CEO of "Energy Transfer Partners" based out of Texas has decided to BULLY the opposition by going into Court, asking a Federal Judge to force the Army Corp of Engineers to approve the last permit needed to complete the project and make it operational.   He is claiming the permitting delay is a direct result of the "Obama Administration and their political interference in the process, calling it "a flagrant disregard for the law.

Take action...give Energy Transfer Partners a piece of your mind by calling their corporate headquarters and leaving Kelcy Warren a message!   Their number is (214) 981-0700

You can also send them your thoughts via email:  Vicki.Granado@energytransfer.com

For those who can afford it, would also suggest sending them a chunk of coal as an early message from Santa Claus!
