Retired organizational psychologist.
Author of "911!", The Devil's Marriage: Break Up the Corpocracy or Leave Democracy in the Lur ch; America's Oldest Professions: Warring and Spying; and Corporate Reckoning Ahead.

If they wrongdoing and evildoing are not stopped there will be no humanity later this century. My newest book, "911!" explains why America needs rescued from the death grip of the power elite and proposes a detail plan for rescuing America and creating a new People's America.

This brief article is about President-Elect Donald J. Trump and my expectation that he and his appointees will evict the bulls in the U.S. China Shop.

But there is one land that is the most lawless ever in favor of the few from the beginning of time and evermore, the United States of America (US)! The few, of course, are the few thousand, the power elite of America's corpocracy, its industry chieftains and subordinate poohbahs in government. The miniscule few rule and ruin the world and are taking billions of human beings to extinction.

This brief article shares with readers the deafening and deadening silence that met me when I have tried to persuade the super-rich whose wealth was not ill-begotten and a few good NGOs to launch a comprehensive strategy to replace America's corpocracy with a true democracy.

Americans a few days ago were subjected yet again to the annual charade, the Fourth of July celebration of the American Revolution. Americans are perpetually "dumbed down" by the superior power elite of industry and the subordinate power elite of government to believe that America's first war was necessary and successful. This article examines the wrong kind of patriotism.

From time to time, I read articles defying any semblance of rationality. I squirm to respond but the online journal allows no comments. OEN is broadminded and kind enough to allow me its outlet for my responses to absurdities.
I bear no malice toward the authors of absurdities. I honor their right to express their views publicly. Goodness knows, I am sure many people have considered my published views to be absurd...

Merriam-Webster defines growth as "something that has grown or is growing." It is obviously a very broad definition that encompasses all "somethings." The matter piqued my curiosity so I looked into it a bit and then wrote this brief piece. It examines growth on a continuum from good through bad to calamitous.

My recent articles have delved into the nature of human nature covering the subjects--
thinking, believing and seeing, making choices, human life, and forgiveness. This brief article explores the human nature of wishing. As before, I will consult various "authorities" on the matter of wishing.

"Always wanting more" is an operational definition of "hedonism." This brief article is my "mea culpa." Inexplicably, I overlooked hedonism per se as a trait in my "psychoscope" of the evil superpower elite in America's corpocracy. This article seeks an answer to why our species is always wanting more.

What is our very nature as human beings? Philosophers, poets, psychologists and other human beings ad nauseum down through the ages have addressed that question. Is it presumptuous or arrogant of me to chime in with my two cents? Or make it three cents since I will "only" tackle three attributes of human nature; thinking, believing, and seeing. To be sure, though, they comprise a big chunk of our human nature.

This article explores making choices, a subject that is not nearly as simple or commonplace as it may seem. You will learn to calculate your own "liberty quotient" to give you an idea of how free you are to make choices. You will read about a silly psychological experiment in which the experimenters incorrectly concluded that "hubris," or being elated about having made a good choice, is not possible!
SHARE Saturday, March 4, 2023 Human Life Dissected
This short article discusses the author's non-mathematical equation of human life involving the person, the context on the left side and the resulting behavior and its consequences on the right side. The author then contrasts "dissection" with the late and famous psychologist B.F. Skinner's explanation of human life.

I was prompted to write this article after reading an article by a very distinguished law professor, Martha Minnow. [1] She is a proponent of forgiveness as a substitute for vengeance. I am NOT a proponent of forgiveness for any purpose! I have thoroughly researched and pondered the matter. This short article gives you my day in court so to speak.

Neither protestors, even millions of them, and certainly not a civilly disobedient public could ever overthrow America's evil and unrivalled power elite and establish a new America with a true democracy serving the common good and at peace with the world.
This article shows a way to avoid Doomsday for humanity including any readers' descendants later this century.

Despite spiraling gun violence and deaths, Congress remains chained to the gun and ammunition industries and their lobbyist, the National Rifle Association. Recently, though, Congress allowed funding of studies on how to reduce gun violence. What has followed is a charade of "silly science' studies, such as seeing whether turning vacant lots into civic gardens, e.g., will reduce firearm violence in Detroit.

This article briefly reviews the current human condition caused by the US corpocracy; recommends a prescription for philanthropists to follow toward improving dramatically the human condition in America; and proposes that philanthropists Bill Gates and/or Warren Buffett launch initiatives that would immeasurably improve the human condition in America, with overflows world-wide and would prevent Doomsday later this century.

I wrote this article after reading Ellen Brown's article in this journal on the need for a "reset that serves the people." She knows that I have promoted her Public Banking Institute initiative enthusiastically in my books. What I want her and readers of this journal to know is that I disagree with her excessive concerns about national debt, her misreading of U.S. history, and her proposed solution for a reset.

Hardened beliefs are equivalent to hardened ideologies cast in immovable stone. Ideologies serve as useful rationalizations for people to act immorally. This article briefly examines theism, fascism, communism, economic isms, and racism.
