President Biden, Bernie Sanders, AOC and others are missing the opportunity to inform the public and offer solutions. The first article shows that most Americans believe the economy is rigged. (They are right. It is rigged.)The second article shows that the news media is silent on talking about this. Three Americans have as much wealth as…

A New War Abolition Statement – Ed O´Rourke
Some years back I composed a war abolition statement for Pope Francis to use as a draft for an encyclical. He and the previously two Popes have been environmentalists and increasingly looking for non-violent solutions. I rewrote the statement for the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. I offer the major additions and invite you to read…
David Brooks Has Changed Sides – Ed O´Rourke

Our Leaders Have Failed – Ed O´Rourke
Noam Chomsky observed that the One Percent keep that society´s attention span narrow but intense. There is much fuss about the 2024 elections and DT.
