Somalia’s Horrific Famine Due To US/NATO Overthrow of a Fine Conservative Islamic Courts Gov. and 16 Years of War
In Somalia, already during the 1980s, the US backed a brutal dictatorship without regard to famine on a massive scale resulting in the deaths of more than 300,000 Somalis, mostly children.
“GlobalFoundries secured $30 million in federal funding to accelerate development of chips that will allow devices to … power electric vehicles….
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt….secured the funding in the Consolidated Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2022.”
We pay our taxes to the I.R.S. and then the U.S. Congress (House & Senate) votes to give our tax dollars away as subsidies to corporations to make products which they will sell internationally and they will keep the profits for themselves even though we paid for their subsidies. Where is our share?
In case it is of interest, an essay of mine (based on previous commentary regarding various matters), fyi:
Essay: Questionable Intentions: Reflections on Societal Dilemmas and Political Ethics (via Google Drive):
The Brattleboro Fire Department (BFD) is currently undergoing a strategic planning process, facilitated by an independent consulting firm (AP Triton Consulting). A Sept 21 BFD press release, which you can find on the Brattleboro Town website brattleboro.org states the Department is ”developing an EMS [Emergency Medical Service] study and is seeking community input …. The deadline for submissions is Oct. 31. The Brattleboro Fire Department’s Community Survey can be found here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/bfdcitizens”
There is a long history here that we all need to review.
An Element of Racism?
While it would be expected for Western media to report fully on civilian life taken in the Ukraine by the military of US designated enemy Russia, and for CIA managed Western media[1] to avoid reporting civilian loss of life caused by US/NATO military throughout the Third World, people in Asia, Africa, MiddleEast and Latin America are surly noticing an element of racism with so much media attention given White European lives lost reminding them of the complete absence of compassionate media coverage of the millions of civilian lives lost by peoples of skin of various hues of color during the many US led neocolonialist wars in their nations since the Second World War.
Up first on the Nov. 8, 2022 election ballot in Vermont is Slavery!
Today I made a short video on the subject of modern day slavery. Taxes are taken out of your paycheck and sent to the I.R.S., then the U.S. Congress votes to give your hard earned money to corporations as billion dollar subsidies. The corporations sell products internationally and do NOT give us a share of THEIR profits even though we paid for their subsidies.
MAN who controls debates at VermontPublic.org REFUSES TO ALLOW A WOMAN U.S. SENATE CANDIDATE, Ms. Cris Ericson, to DEBATE with ALL MEN CANDIDATES, U.S. Congressman Peter Welch and Republican Gerald Malloy. No wonder NO woman has ever been elected to the U.S. Senate from Vermont before!

CCTV.org only gave me 15 minutes! I was excluded from the VTdigger U.S. Senate candidate forum, so I appear all by myself on
http://cctv.org at 6:40 PM after the VTdigger.org Debate exclusively promoting only the arrogant male Democrat & male Republican candidates, who by excluding me, prove they are not inclusive and are disparaging of women candidates.

Did you watch the Queen’s Funeral “live” today?
If you can trace your ancestry back to the mid 1700s, the King of Great Britain was keeping track of your ancestors before then because prior to the Declaration of Independence, he was still trying to get tax dollars out of them.
While watching the proceedings of Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, I wanted to trace a piece of jewelry that I had always thought was junk jewelry because great aunt Annie called it a “trinket”.
Hi! Other candidates who are not Democrats or Republicans are now complaining about being excluded from debates.
I brought debate exclusion up before here at ibrattleboro.com. I emailed other non-major party candidates but none of the other candidates responded to my emails, except one, Kerry Raheb told me to lose his number or something like that, but the rest didn’t respond at all.
“As Vermont edges toward a legal recreational cannabis market, everyone paying a power bill is indirectly subsidizing the indoor cultivation of marijuana.
Efficiency Vermont, established by lawmakers in 1999 and funded through charges on residential and commercial power bills, is working to blunt the power demand of the energy-intensive cannabis businesses taking root.”
Why is this an outrage? Because we shouldn’t be forced to pay the electricity bill for any profit making business! No doubt about it, the marijuana / cannabis businesses expect to make millions in profits.
Supporting Brenda Siegel
Last Autumn (2021), when most Vermont residents were able to enjoy having a roof over their heads to stay warm and dry underneath, a comfortable bed to sleep in, nourishing daily meals to eat and proper hydration with which to attempt to stay healthy, Brenda Siegel and others were holding vigil on the steps of the State House in Montpelier on behalf of those most in need who live without such means.
For my part, I joined them there for a single evening and it wasn’t easy or fun by any means. They did so for 27 long days and nights until the governor and his reluctant administration finally relented to their demands.
Brenda Siegel is doing a good job of complaining about the State Legislature because they did not prepare ahead of time for running out of funds for housing assistance.
In January some new State Legisltors will be sworn in, but that might not be fast enough.
WHAT IS YOUR CRITERIA FOR DEBATE EXCLUSION?

RE: report by Vtdigger.org (which reports on campaign activity of major party candidates to the exclusion of most others while claiming to be a non-profit rather than a political action committee promoting major parties)
WHAT IS THE DEFINITION OF ELECTION FRAUD?
It happens many different ways in Vermont!
VtDigger.org is an online news source in Vermont which claims to be a non-profit and may receive funding from the State of Vermont. They are holding a series of political candidate debates which ONLY INCLUDE the Democrats and Republicans and exclude all others.
The last U.S. president has left a trail of crimes that are unprecedented in American history. A reasonable person would expect that such a high level criminal would have already been prosecuted for a few of the more egregious crimes, yet the man who may prove to be the most immoral and unethical person to live in the White House is free and has not yet been charged with a crime.
The American people need some degree of closure. We also need to have hope that Trump never again holds the office of President. The ball is in the court of the Justice Department and it will be up to Attorney General Merrick Garland to make sure that our legal system does not become another casualty in the Trump wars. It will be up to voters to destroy Trump’s political ambitions.
