STRANGE LOVE

strangelove posterDr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a political commentary, disguised as a satire black comedy film, that reveals the “Cold War” fears of a nuclear conflict between the USSR and the US.  The story concerns a psychopathic United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear bomber attack on the Soviet Union.

It follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 bomber as they try to deliver their payload of nuclear bombs to destroy a Russian nuclear missile and begin the Global Nuclear Holocaust when Russian retaliates by exploding their a “doomsday device“, which consists of many buried bombs jacketed with “Cobalt-Thorium G” connected to a computer network set to detonate them automatically should any nuclear attack strike the country. Within two months after detonation, the Cobalt-Thorium G would encircle the earth in a radioactive cloud, wiping out all human and animal life.

SUFFER-RAGE

Republished by Blog Post Promoter

The Theory of Suffrage is often conceived in terms of an egalitarian election of representatives by ALL citizens.  Theoretically, Suffrage applies to initiative and referendum.

Suffrage describes not only the legal right to vote, but also the practical question of whether a question will be put to a vote. The utility of suffrage is reduced when important questions are decided unilaterally by elected or unelected representatives.

Until the nineteenth century, many Western democracies had property qualifications in their electoral laws; e.g. only landowners could vote or the voting rights were weighed according to the amount of taxes paid.

In the modern United States, as it has been throughout almost all of human history, voting to pass or prevent Legislation is bought and paid for through bribes from professional “Lobbyists” who represent private (corporate) interests.  This form of government can also be known as Tyranny or Dictatorship or Oligarchy, or Privateering or Profiteering or Legalized Theft.
