This short essay was written in September, before the election, but the analysis still holds, and the points made are still relevant, and in fact, extremely important to understand. The only thing I would add now, in December, is that revolution is overdue. * In the USSA Presidential Reality Show

Writings of J. Todd Ring: Russia, Fascism & The West
Whatever problems Russia has, and every country has problems, as does Russia, two things are clear: Russia is not trying to take over the world. Davos and Washington are doing that. The West is in no position to criticize any nation over human rights. We have imported the Chinese totalitarian
Continue readingViews from the Beltline: What I learned from Trump
Up until four years ago I assumed that democracy was not only strong, it was invincible. At least in the Anglosphere. Why wouldn’t I? During my lifetime, democracy had survived the Great Depression, the Second World War complete with Fascists and Nazis, and the Cold War against a totalitarian state.
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Compromise or Collapse
The elite always do the same thing. They have repeated the same failed patterns for millennia. They never learn. They could be wealthy and powerful, virtually in perpetuity, or at least, for a very long time – if they were willing to compromise. They are not. Instead, they fall into
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Government and Corporations Care About Your Privacy: That’s Why They Support the Bi-Partisan Global Fascist Coup
Western governments and their criminal friends in big tech pretend to care about citizen’s privacy, while secretly destroying it. But privacy is a misnomer and a red herring. The central issue is whether the people should be spied upon by their government and its big business allies. That is the
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Are We Serious About Human Health? The Rhetoric and Gestures Say Yes, But The Evidence Says No
The government pretends to care deeply and profoundly about human health, using police state measures in a time of crisis, justified by their supposed great concern for health. Yet, the federal government has repeatedly slashed health care funding for the past 40 years. The blatant and extreme hypocrisy and deceit

Letter to the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives I used to consider CounterPunch, Canadian Dimension, DemocracyNow! and the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives among my most trusted sources for news and analysis. No more. The last issue of CCPA’s Monitor confirmed the total loss of confidence, as did the general

Share this article: The American democratic experiment is stuck in gridlock. It has become clear that Joe Biden will be the next president with a lead of over 4 million votes. More importantly, Biden has passed the 270 electoral vote threshold needed to win. However, Trump-style politics are still in
Continue readingViews from the Beltline: Donald Trump is now as American as apple pie
Donald Trump is for real. His victory in 2016 was no fluke. He got more votes this time, including more support from Republicans, the party he was predicted to shatter, than he did last time. He even got more votes from Latinos and Blacks. For half the U.S. public, Trump

Share: Today is the day where we get our first glimpse of whether or not our neighbors to the south choose to vote out fascism. This new, 21st-century style of fascism has emerged in various places across the planet such as Brazil, Poland, Russia, Turkey, and others. Make no mistake,

We must educate and inform ourselves and others; speak up and stand up for both compassion (ie: public health) and freedom; sow non-violent democratic revolution to dethrone the sociopathic corporate oligarchs; nourish ourselves, our families, and our communities in body, mind and spirit; build networks of community, solidarity, cooperation, mutual
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Corporate Fascism 101
We do not live in a democracy. We now live in an oligarchy, or plutocracy, or corporatocracy, if you prefer, as ivy league studies and systems analysis have confirmed, in a case of science confirming the obvious. Most people are now aware of that obvious fact, but sadly, most people
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Freedom of Speech vs Fascism
If free speech bothers you, get a soother. Fascism and Maoism are not acceptable here. If you don’t understand that, then you don’t understand the black liberation movement, which is based in the principle of freedom, as well as equality; you don’t understand liberation movements generally; and you don’t understand
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Team Biden: Democrats Represent A Continuation Of Neoliberal Corporate-Fascist Elite Rule
What, in reality, would Team Biden and a Democratic White House represent? Let’s cut through the noise and fog and illusions, and deal with reality here, for a change. Team Biden would mean, above all, a continuation of the clearly authoritarian, deeply Orwellian drive of both major US political parties,

Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, YouTube, and the MAGATs – Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon and Twitter – are all now embedded and engaged in censorship, data mining, privacy invasion, the new global surveillance and police state, and/or state-corporate propaganda, and manipulation of elections and the public mind (ie: the Facebook and Cambridge
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Big Exodus from Big Tech
Time for the exodus to begin in earnest from the now confirmed to be fascist and deeply Orwellian Big Tech giants. At the least, we need to begin the migration and the shift, by supporting and using the alternative social media, search engines, email, browsers, etc., which do not data
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: Bitcoin, Fascism, Economic Collapse & Revolution
Fiat currencies are without question going to collapse. There are easily understandable, undeniable, structural reasons for that. That means the ordinary money people use daily, for those who are unfamiliar with the term: US dollars, Canadian dollars, euros, etc., are set to collapse into worthless pieces of paper. When that
Continue readingWritings of J. Todd Ring: The Shift Festival – or is that, “Lemmings Unite”?
The Shift Festival and Conference – this looks interesting, and worth checking out. However, the fact that freedom is not mentioned in the tag line, considering what is happening globally, is worrisome. Mind you, most activists and intellectuals have their heads firmly up their asses in 2020, along with virtually all

Fascism is rising – here is how to avert it. A short video talk, linked below, sparked these thoughts, which I will share. May they bless us with the courage, and the presence of mind, to avert the rising of fascism once again – which, make no mistake, is indeed

I don’t enjoy bringing bad news, but I feel a duty to help others, and to protect them when I can, which includes warning them of danger, as well as pointing out the ways to better health, happiness, freedom, peace and joy, and a better world for all. The signs
