Hand embossed cards, fully hand made from twisting the rings by hand to full assembly allows for a measure of control in imbuing the piece with the needed conditioning and spellwork.

This is the recent artwork that I've been working on since having gotten some good quality art supplies including my technical pens and a white pen. I'm working on a tattoo commission and my eventual sacred geometry coloring book.

I know, I know....I am supposed to fall in line now. I am supposed to tap the dance and sing her praises. And be party first. But I cannot. Because of #fracking Because of the #tpp Because of Tim Kaine's past legislation on women's reproductive rights. Because of Debbie Wasserman Schultz leaving the #DNC in shame and being rewarded by Clinton with an honorary position on her campaign team. Because of mass #incarceration of people of color. Because of the #profiteering on that mass incarceration. Because of prominent positions within her circle being given to known racists and warmongers. Because of drone strikes killing innocents. Because of #henrykissinger Because of #marijuana Because of #studentdebt Because of #indigenousrights Because of her #superPACs Because of #votersuppression Because of a $15 #minimumwage I don't believe she will deliver Because of a need for #healthcare as a right Because of student debt Because "Trump" as a reason is not a qualifier for Hillary as a solution Because of #incomeinequality Because of millions of dollars in income from speeches to Wall Street firms that we cannot read #transcripts of Because of the #DamnEmails and what they revealed about the #collusion within the DNC to force her down America's throat as the presumptive nominee Because she lied to Congress and the American people when she said none of the emails sent from her private server were classified Because of the fucking private SERVER....not email....entire system.....hidden in a basement bathroom in her home Because of the Hillary Victory Fund, which was supposed to be a joint fundraiser with downticket dems in participating states but delivered less than 1% of the funds to the state parties to support downticket races Because of abulita and hot sauce Because of her abysmal, and still sinking, approval ratings Because of a $12,000 jacket worn to a speech about income inequality Because of the Iraq war Because of too many lies, scandals and too much baggage I will fight hard for downticket democratic candidates. I will work my ass off to make sure that if elected Clinton is a one term President. I will not lock step with #corruption. #berniesanders

Authoritarian or populist activist... Fascinating!!

The Volcanic Core Fueling the 2016 Election

Not a day passes that I don’t get a call from the media asking me to compare Bernie Sanders’s and Hillary Clinton’s tax plans, or bank plans, or health-care plans.

I don’t mind. I’ve been teaching public policy for much of the last thirty-five years. I’m a policy wonk.

But detailed policy proposals are as relevant to the election of 2016 as is that gaseous planet beyond Pluto. They don’t have a chance of making it, as things are now.

The other day Bill Clinton attacked Bernie Sanders’s proposal for a single-payer health plan as unfeasible and a “recipe for gridlock.”

Yet these days, nothing of any significance is feasible and every bold idea is a recipe for gridlock.

This election is about changing the parameters of what’s feasible and ending the choke hold of big money on our political system.

I’ve known Hillary Clinton since she was 19 years old, and have nothing but respect for her. In my view, she’s the most qualified candidate for president of the political system we now have.

But Bernie Sanders is the most qualified candidate to create the political system we should have, because he’s leading a political movement for change.

The upcoming election isn’t about detailed policy proposals. It’s about power – whether those who have it will keep it, or whether average Americans will get some as well.

A study published in the fall of 2014 by Princeton professor Martin Gilens and Northwestern’s Benjamin Page reveals the scale of the challenge.

Gilens and Page analyzed 1,799 policy issues in detail, determining the relative influence on them of economic elites, business groups, mass-based interest groups, and average citizens.

Their conclusion: “The preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically nonsignificant impact upon public policy.”

Instead, lawmakers respond to the moneyed interests – those with the most lobbying prowess and deepest pockets to bankroll campaigns.

It’s sobering that Gilens and Page’s data come from the period 1981 to 2002, before the Supreme Court opened the floodgates to big money in its “Citizens United” and “McCutcheon” decisions. Their study also predated the advent of super PACs and “dark money,” and even the Wall Street bailout.

If average Americans had a “near-zero” impact on public policy then, their impact is now zero.

Which explains a paradox I found a few months ago when I was on book tour in the nation’s heartland: I kept bumping into people who told me they were trying to make up their minds in the upcoming election between Sanders and Trump.

At first I was dumbfounded. The two are at opposite ends of the political divide.   But as I talked with these people, I kept hearing the same refrains. They wanted to end “crony capitalism.” They detested “corporate welfare,” such as the Wall Street bailout.

They wanted to prevent the big banks from extorting us ever again. Close tax loopholes for hedge-fund partners. Stop the drug companies and health insurers from ripping off American consumers. End trade treaties that sell out American workers. Get big money out of politics.

Somewhere in all this I came to see the volcanic core of what’s fueling this election.

If you’re one of the tens of millions of Americans who are working harder than ever but getting nowhere, and who understand that the political-economic system is rigged against you and in favor of the rich and powerful, what are you going to do?

Either you’re going to be attracted to an authoritarian son-of-a-bitch who promises to make America great again by keeping out people different from you and creating “great” jobs in America, who sounds like he won’t let anything or anybody stand in his way, and who’s so rich he can’t be bought off.

Or you’ll go for a political activist who tells it like it is, who has lived by his convictions for fifty years, who won’t take a dime of money from big corporations or Wall Street or the very rich, and who is leading a grass-roots “political revolution” to regain control over our democracy and economy.

In other words, either a dictator who promises to bring power back to the people, or a movement leader who asks us to join together to bring power back to the people.

You don’t care about the details of proposed policies and programs.

You just want a system that works for you.
