What Do The Rich Know?

The billionaires of Silicon Valley and government people are scared and building bunkers and islands in anticipation of society’s collapse. The danger of government people and the very rich having these new 500,000 to 1.5 million bunkers is that they now think they will be safe if and when the big boom drops or the 99 percent comes after them with pitch forks. They may think nuclear war or severe climate change will not effect them and that in the event either of these should occur, they will be better off than the rest of us. These are not just a couple of fringe groups. There is real money behind this movement, hundreds of millions of dollars. These are the richest and smartest people who are probably in the “know” so what do they know that we, poor people, don’t know? Then there are all the so-called rich preppers are buying islands and land in New Zealand. If all government and the 1 percent rich are safe, then do you think they fear earth’s ruin by climate change or a nuclear war with North Korea or Russia, and would these people want to push the button first? There is, at this time, rich people refurbishing 575 munition storage bunkers in South Dakota, a 700-acres $330 million mostly subterranean developments, called Trident Lakes in Ector, Texas, equipped with DefCon 1 preparedness. It will have amenities, like a hotel, an athletic center, a golf course, and a polo fields with 600 condomeniums. People do not spend this kind of money unless there is some type of worry. The 99 percent must keep vigilant or start digging their own holes. What would start this kind of panic? Perhaps taking people’s healthcare, busting all the unions, taking away Social Security, using technology to eliminate jobs, striping pensions away from people, striping people’s voting rights, eliminating the minimum wage, forcing women back into a subservient roles, taking women’s choice away from them, and threatening a country that is in possession of a bomb. If is just the poor with pitchforks, they will have retired Navy S.E.A.L.s or Special Forces just shoot us, which, ironically, we, as taxpayers, paid for their military training. A lot of former military personnel have gone to work for the likes of BlackWater, which became Xe, which became Academi, and were established as a private military company originially founded in 1997 by former Navy S.E.A.L. officer Erik Prince. This is just one of many private military companies. If a bomb drops, these oligarches think they will just ride the consequences out in Trident Lakes and again shoot us if we try to get in. They’ve already said this by hiring their their own army. But what if their army turns against them. I wonder if these people have even thought this possibility since the hired army is already among them with evrything they need so why keep feeding and protecting the spoiled rich? History has shown the private armies work for the most advantagous for the hired hands. Should we all be preparing for the apocalypse?

Time for an Offense

There are three phases of a general strike and unions must plan for one. Those three phases are: 1. general strike in an industry 2. general strike in a community 3. general national strike We need to move away from being on the defensive and move toward a good offensive. The American Federal of Labor (AFL) could not have held a general strike if it wanted to because they had thousands of different contracts that expired at different times of the year. This was done deliberately so that there is no consolidation of power for a general strike. Also, nowadays, there is no law agency that will support labor, except the National Labor Relations Board (NLBR), which has been under attack and in decline for years. This leaves the burden of change up to unions, and unless unions work together, little will change. We essentially have a combination of job trusts, which are not as strong as contracts, and the courts can break easily because the NLBR will be further weakened and essentially elim...

If Gompers Could Do It, We Can Do It

Labor must vote for the person who will support and vote for labor’s best interests. And in turn, labor members have to support those who are running for office who support labor unions and vote down ballots. Voting down ballot gives the person at the top more power to do what’s best for us. This includes elections for city, county and state positions, as well. If you think a four day work week is wishful thinking, remember workers had to fight for an eight-hour work day and a five-day work week. We, labor members and supporters, need to find people who can fight and win. We need to clean the Congress and Senate of the old Democratic guard who have voted repeatedly to hold the working class back while enriching themselves. This would rebuild solidarity in a magnitude greater than anything either party has seen or offered in the last fifty years. If we can bring about the change in the ruling class we can improve all of our lives. This would be the start of the end of the tyranny of the...

Shock Troops

Gerrymandering is the only legal form of voter theft. Workers, our long range plans should involve 1. crushing Citizens United; and 2. getting rid of the Electoral College. We have been trying to get rid of the electoral college since 1876, and we are still waiting for the revolt. Our unions need to start training some members to be our shock troops and if all unions would do this and work with our local Labor Councils, it would be a good start. Our members need to know our labor laws, local laws, and learn how to protest in the streets if necessary. The antiunion people like Trump, Musk and his billionaire friends work together to crush the working people and convince workers they’re doing them a favor and then use them as shock troops against unions and their workers. All union and nonunion working people must come together and work together to protect what we have now. Labor Councils have retired union members and they could work together to prepare to bring the movement forward....
