from the series Raise Your Voice…
By PETER MOLENAAR
April 3rd, 1811 Chicago Avenue….
Folks from all around gathered here to protest threats to our Social Security. Democrats listen up: extend the program’s solvency by having millionaires pay the same percentage of income the rest of us pay. SCRAP THE CAP!
April 5th, State Capitol grounds….
About 25,000 protesters expressed a multi-faceted angst. The artistic expression of homemade signs and costumes was unprecedented, as well. For example, a paper mache mutation protruded from the belly of a bearded elder. It was rendered with stars and stripes, outstretched arms, anguished face and gaping mouth… remember Picasso’s Guernica?
Meanwhile, Nukewatch Quarterly:
The transfer of new U.S. nuclear bombs to air bases in Europe is part of a “nuclear sharing program”. Remember the Cuban Missile Crisis? Just for fun, might we cut military spending in half to see who might invade.
One special request:
Open your computer and search: “The target is unmistakable: The shooting of Gaza’s children”. The Israeli soldiers who snipe out Palestinian children with drones will suffer nightmares forever.
Yet democracy will blossom based on public ownership of big business. Sweet dreams…who needs billionaires?
Peter Molenaar advocates a broad united-front, even as he describes socialism as the future solution.
