    Upcoming Shows and News View this email in your browser ~ Please share this with friends who may be interested ~ THE NEAL SHOW ~Community, Architecture and the Individual~ “The world will change drastically between 2020 and 2024. Trump’s second and last mandate coincides with Putin’s last mandate as President of Russia. There may never be another coincidence like this for a long time, and both know that it’s now or perhaps never. Together, they have to end NATO, Swift, and the European Union should crumble. Terrorism and anthropogenic global warming will jump in the vortex and disappear with their creators. Trump will have to drain the swamp in the CIA and Pentagon, and he has to nationalize the Federal Reserve. Along with Xi and Modi, they could put a final end to private banking in public affairs, by refusing to pay a single penny of their debts, and reset the world economy by shifting to national currencies produced by governments, as private banks will fall like dominos, with no more Obama-like servant to bail them out at your expense. Once this is done, unbearable peace and prosperity could roam the planet, as our taxes pay for the development of our countries instead of buying useless military gear and paying interests on loans by bankers who didn’t even have the money in the first place. If you still don’t understand Donald Trump after reading the above, you’re hopeless. Or you might be Trudeau, Macron, Guaido, or any other useful idiot, unaware that the carpet under your feet has already slipped away.” ~Sylvain LAFOREST {{ https://orientalreview.org/2019/11/15/about-trump/ }} *** “These so-called progressives treat politics as their religion.

  • November 3 2020 Voter Guide
    Democratic Socialists of America Los Angeles November 3 2020 [email protected] Voter Guide Contact us DSA-LA 2020 Voter Guide 1 Introduction Thank you for using the DSA-LA 2020 General Election Voter Guide. This guide was written by members of the DSA-LA Electoral Politics Committee with contributions from the 2020 primary guide produced in collaboration with the Future Left. Authors approached writing this guide with socialist values and a progressive, pragmatic lens. We see this as an opportunity to share information with fellow DSA-LA members, LA voters, and other community members about political forces shaping the many communities that make up Los Angeles. The candidates in this guide are recommended by DSA-LA’s Electoral Politics Committee, not the entire DSA-LA chapter. DSA-LA as a chapter votes for endorsements. Endorsed candidates are the candidates or campaigns DSA-LA commits to working for. Only Konstantine Anthony, Fatima Iqbal-Zubair, Nithya Raman, and Prop 15, are endorsed by DSA- LA. Voting for the President this year might not bring us Medicare for All, but voting in municipal and state races arguably has more impact on our daily lives. Voting for Konstantine Anthony will get Burbank residents closer to rent control. Voting for Fatima Iqbal-Zubiar will be a start to putting an end to energy companies’ blatant environmental racism in South LA. Voting for Nithya Raman will bring a candidate demanding strong housing policies and advocating for renters and our unhoused neighbors onto our virtue- signalling, do-nothing city council. Voting for Prop 15 is voting to tax billionaire companies like Disney to properly fund our schools, public services and vital resources to fight the pandemic.
