As is well known, the integrity of the United States is in decline, due to human-rights violations and corruption. Outing perpetrators by naming names might deter American officials from lying, cheating and stealing in the future. A few current perpetrators with conflicts (stock profiteers) include:

Senator Dave McCormick (R-PA)
Representative Michael McCaul (R-TX)
Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK)
Rep. Lisa McClain (R-MI)
Rep Joseph Gottheimer (D-NJ)
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT).

Google seems to be anti-Irish on those Republicans. Anyway, the manipulation of behavioral economics for evil, requires that there be messengers to help the ringleader / strongman acquire power and stay in power. Fox-TV personalities such as Sean Hannity, Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters fit the bill. While “paying their dues” they themselves must behave like strongmen– making high-powered contacts with whom they exchange favors throughout their careers.

In connection therewith, this Bertrand Russell quote cannot be repeated enough:

“There is something feeble and a little contemptible about a man who cannot face the perils of life without the help of comfortable myths. Almost inevitably some part of him is aware that they are myths and that he believes them only because they are comforting. But he dare not face this thought! Moreover, since he is aware, however dimly, that his opinions are not rational, he becomes furious when they are disputed.”

American leaders can’t admit to themselves how much they’re damaging our democracy. See this blog’s post, “In the Footsteps of Mr. Kurtz” to note the similarities between the Congo’s kleptocracy of 1997 and the United States’ kleptocracy of 2026.

Here’s a song about it– what Trump is singing.

I WATCH FOX AND TROLL ALL NIGHT

sung to the tune of “Rock and Roll All Night” with apologies to KISS and to whomever else the rights may concern.

A Google search of “KISS songs” omits this song in the search-results because it’s a bad influence on America’s youths.

I’ll never SHOW you everything I’ve got. I keep on ranting about getting shot.

I drive liberals wild. My record’s amazing.

I am the one who makes the world spin. My party’s just begun to win, win, win.

I drive liberals wild. My record’s amazing.

They keep on pouting. They keep on pouting.

I watch Fox and troll all night, and profit every day.

I know you know I’m your prez for all time.

We’re great again, and I’m in my prime.

I drive liberals wild. My record’s amazing.

I’ll never SHOW you everything I’ve got.

I am great, and it’s quite a lot, and I drive liberals wild. My record’s amazing.

They keep on pouting. They keep on pouting.

I watch Fox and troll all night, and profit every day.

American playwright Arthur Miller wrote that there was uncertainty as to whether the United States could recover from the Great Depression which was plaguing the country when he was in his teens. In those days, though, Americans blamed themselves for their own personal problems.

There was a lot less scapegoating, litigiousness, and self-absorbed attention whoredom than now. Only white men had a sense of entitlement then.

So, how can the United States recover from its latest bout of capitalist excesses?

Well, there but for the grace of science and cooperation was the United States able to recover from the Great Depression, to become the powerhouse it became. Science has:

fueled vaccines, drugs and quantum leaps in medicine;
helped create the atomic bomb that curtailed the Second World War;
helped win the Space Race against the Soviets;
fueled Silicon Valley’s innovations.

So, the United States must reverse the anti-science, anti-intellectual, divisive agenda of the Republicans.
