Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism

Posted on by debthumanblog

I’ve been trying to figure out just why I got my Facebook account suspended for violating advertising rules when I never advertised anything.

When it came to profanity, I restricted myself to #(%*@)$_@#%!!! I did criticize the government, something the First Amendment allows me to do. I refer to the top three in the federal government as the nazi, the trailer trash and the psychopath. It’s fair comment and protected by the First Amendment. I reposted from the Jewish on Campus Facebook page. Jewish on Campus came into sharp focus after October 7, 2023 and the attacks on Jewish students that followed on college and university campuses across the country. I posted items from the Anti-Defamation League regarding antisemitic acts. I posted excerpts from articles in the New York Times and The Washington Post making sure credit was clearly given to the appropriate newspaper.

There was nothing wrong with what I did.

I think I figured out why Zuckerberg went after me. A former Facebook employee wrote a book,
Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism. Zuckerberg tried to suppress the book. He failed. In response, I bought the book and encouraged others, via Facebook post, to buy the book. You can find the book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DY9TZD8Z/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_351_o06?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I paid full price for the book and the last time I did that was when Prince Harry’s autobiography came out.

The timing is interesting. Zuckerberg is being sued by the US for anti-trust violations and the trial started this week. I hope he loses. His insistence on silencing dissent and anyone who criticizes him while sucking up to the psychopath in chief is going to bite him on the tush. The president of Columbia University thought giving in would be the end of the psychopath’s interference. The president of Columbia University was wrong. Give in to one demand, and more demands follow. Sucking up will not protect tech companies.

China is only going to take a certain amount of nonsense from the psychopath before cutting off access to all sorts of raw materials the US needs. Try building an EV without rare earth metals – and China supplies 70% of the rare earth metals the world needs. Try building a laptop without computer chips. China is the largest purchaser of soybeans grown in the US. How much nonsense and threats from the psychopath will it take for China to decide not to buy US grown soybeans? Just as it’s impossible, without a whole lot of expense, to turn an auto plant into a plant to manufacture ceramic toilets, it’s equally impossible, without a whole lot of expense, to turn a soybean farm into a tomato farm.

While I wait out my 6-month (and likely permanent) suspension, I’m looking for other on-line social media. I used Facebook to keep up with friends from law school (we live in three states in two different time zones), relatives (four states and three time zones) and friends from high school (three states, two time zones). I’m open to all social media suggestions for a replacement for Facebook.

The Death of Democracy

Posted on by debthumanblog

This land is your land, this land is my land…

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful experiment. It was call the United States of America.

From California to the New York Islands…..

There was no country on earth like it. People could speak their mind. People could worship, or not, as they pleased. People could assemble. People could criticize their government and their leaders. The press were not censored. It was amazing. It was worth dying for. And people did die for this country and for the rights contained in The Bill of Rights.

From the redwood forest to the Gulf Stream waters…

There were free elections and a process was put in place for the peaceful change of power when a new president was elected.

This land was made for you and me.

Don’t look for this country. It no longer exists. Marc Zuckerberg, whose mouth is firmly attached to the narcissistic sociopath’s appendage common to males, has frozen my Facebook account. It’s not safe to criticize the government. It’s not safe to refer to the idiot in the White House as a narcissistic sociopath even though his niece, Mary Trump, a psychologist, wrote in her book that narcissistic sociopath is an accurate diagnosis. It’s not safe to refer to a man who lied to get low interest loans to build exploding cars as a nazi even after he proudly gave a nazi salute.

As I was walking, I saw a sign there…

I’ve been an attorney for 31 years. I began my career as a cooperating attorney for the New York Civil Liberties Union. I’m proud of the work I did for the NYCLU. I’m proud of how I fought my guts out for my indigent clients. I’m proud of how I fought to keep the state from steamrolling over my clients.

And on the sign it said no trespassing…

I know better than to ask the ACLU for help. I’ve been the recipient of two anti-semitic hate crimes. The ACLU couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge my request for help. Instead, the ACLU offered legal assistance to groups financed by terrorist organizations and swallowed the lie about Israel starting a war with Hamas.

But on the other side, it didn’t say nothing…..

Pete Seeger was called before the House Unamerican Activities Committee for signing one song. A famous song written by Woody Guthrie.

That side was made for you and me.

When I needed financial aid to attend law school, I had to sign an oath that I wouldn’t attempt to overthrow the government by violent means. After law school, four times I stood in court – in NY, in NM, in Federal District Court, and in the Supreme Court of the United States, I stuck up my right hand and made a promise to uphold the constitution. I meant it every time. Let me make one thing extremely clear to the narcissistic sociopath, the trailer trash VP, their nazi buddy and all their brainless minions: If you want to shut me up, you need large calibre firepower. In the meantime, I’m going to uphold the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

Here’s the verse that got Pete in good trouble:

Nobody living can ever stop me, 
As I go walking that freedom highway; 
Nobody living can ever make me turn back 
This land was made for you and me.
