Have you felt blacklisted or blackballed on Social Media recently? Is this abuse on the rise?are things getting better?e SHARE
Russian trolls first began arguing with me on several of my blogs, including this one and my OpEdNews site. This was around 2014 when observant investigative reporters first noted them playing with progressives and conservatives trolling and picking fights with readers and authors.

THE DCCC again fails to focus on the most wasteful part of America's budget--over-expanded military SHARE
In a coincidence, the day after I received a monthly DCCC-which again disappointed me, I ran into my Democratic congresswoman and raised my concerns. Over-spending on defense and military over expansion costing our infrastructural development trillions annually.

What led to My Lai & how many more have there been since 1968? SHARE
Paul Cox, a veteran from Vietnam, indicates, "The vast, vast majority of GIs that went to Vietnam neither witnessed nor participated in anything such as this, although, you know, you have to say that the pilots that ran those B-52s and the guy that pushed the button that opened the bomb bay doors and dropped B-52 bombs did far more damage than any individual who looked his victims in the eye while he shot them. So, the war itself is an indictment of our country, and should be seen as such. And the air war and the artillery and the naval fire should all be seen as equally as horrendous and as criminal and as inhumane as those men that pulled the triggers in My Lai or the ones that, in my unit, that pulled the trigger on those civilians."

Here is why I voted Third Party--and here is why most of you need to vote for alternative parties this election SHARE
From REAL CLEAR POLITICSREAL CLEAR POLITICS one can observe that currently the Greens are only polling between 2 and 3 percent nationally even though they appear to have the best and most progressive platform. If you decide to not vote for either the venomous Donald Trump or the toxic Hillary, you can at least show up, vote progressive, and then elect better senators, congressmen, and governors. Think of your kids.

There are some Omanis who are hardworking--I just met one SHARE
Too often, we generalize about Arabs, Gulf Arabs, Muslims and others. I share this anecdote in order to make clear that living in other countries enables Americans to distinguish between image and realities--or between generalities and particulars. I encourage others working abroad to share about the places they live and work.

As the USAs investigative and information agencies remind us more and more about what life was like in Communist Central and Eastern Europe prior to 1989, I am preparing to write more about how to connect the past and present--while also tearing down some myths about the past that are already in too many textbooks.
