The Yellow Vests vs. Vested Interests – A People’s Upwising

An Interview with American Ex-Pat and Marxist-Humanist Scholar Richard Greeman

“We have a deeply-divided body politic. Half the people believe our system is broken, the other half believe it is fixed.” — Swami Beyondananda

We are living in what Tom Paine would have called “soul-trying” times.

While progressives are still baffled as to how Donald Trump became President and continue to be pulled into the very “resistance” that energizes Trumpism, a growing number of Americans are awakening to the political “shell” game. Regardless of which party wins, when it comes to the fundamental focus and rules of governance, those who already have too much money, power and influence seem to have the final say.

Consider that under Obama (and Hillary as Secretary of State) we had the same neocon / neoliberal foreign policy as under Bush and Cheney. And even the Huffington Post has had to admit that income inequality became worse under Obama than it was under George W. Bush.

The narrative playing on the mainstream is still about the growing list of “hopefuls” for the 2020 Presidential campaign, while the condition of the body politic remains “hopeless” unless we do a mass detox off of “hopium” and “deniatol.” What is needed is a true “2020 vision” to help we the people overgrow our corrupt and dysfunctional system, from the grassroots up instead of the top down.

Fortunately, there is true hope on the horizon and it comes from the folks who helped us with the first American Revolution — France. You’ve probably been hearing about the Yellow Vest movement, which has been presented as one of those nationalistic, xenophobic “right wing” movements that seem to be sweeping Europe and the rest of the world.

Not so fast, says my Wiki guest this week, Richard Greeman, an American expatriate living in France and a bona fide leftist. What he has observed first-hand is a movement of ordinary people tired of being told, “Let them eat cake” by a Marie Antoinette sound-alike Emmanuel Macron, who is an investment banker disguised as a “socialist.” As Greeman tells us in the interview, this is a from-the-ground-up movement that has rejected any affiliation with any party, right and left. This is the true “peoples upwising.”

Richard Greeman is a self-described “Marxist-humanist, libertarian socialist and anarchist revolutionary”. He calls himself a red diaper grandbaby because his maternal grandfather was an admirer and follower of socialist presidential candidate Eugene V. Debs. When labeled a communist by a classmate as a child, Richard replied, “I’m a commonist — I am for the common people”. A graduate of Yale, Richard was one of the founders of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). After the fall of the Soviet Union, he traveled to Russia where he deepened his studies of Victor Serge, a Marxist anarchist internationalist novelist. In 1997, he helped establish the Victor Serge Public Library in Moscow and in 1998 co-founded the Praxis Research and Education Center in Moscow. Long story short, he brings a lifetime of awareness and perspective to a vexing movement … the Yellow Vest uprising in France … and the “vested interests” that are looking to dis-inform and misinform us on that topic.

The mainstream press has painted it as a right wing movement, and indeed the press has cherry-picked right wing extremists to interview to “represent” the movement. Tune in this Tuesday, and get a more balanced picture of what is happening in France — and what COULD happen hear if progressives and populists ever got together for a generative conversation.

If you’re feeling that currently the American body politic is stuck inside an unworkable system called “Futilism,” please catch this broadcast to discover how an angry uprising has led to an “upwising” where French citizens are working together for a change, to challenge a toxic and unworkable system that makes the elites richer and richer and the rest of us … not so much.

The Planets This Week: February 4, 2019

Join host and astrologer Kelli Fox as she talks about the planets this week. With love planet Venus moving into Capricorn you may find yourself rather serious in the realm of love, you may be quite shy and reserved, perhaps afraid to demonstrate your affection and risk unrequited love.

There could be a strong sense of restriction in the way you approach your relationships. You may not be quite sure of yourself, or whether the object of your affection will return your feelings; this could make you so nervous, you’d rather say nothing.

During this time, you could happily devote yourself to taking care of a partner and your sense of commitment will be very strong. Work to develop your confidence and your relationships which will improve a lot if you set your mind to it. If you’re artistic, you’ll have a special ability to manifest the results of your creativity which will show the serious message that you are trying to convey.

When it comes to money, there will be no sense in displaying a poverty consciousness at this time. You will be more successful and attract more money with confidence than you will with reticence. You’re not likely to spend your money on anything frivolous; you want things that are not only practical but also of good quality under this influence.

There’s also a New Moon in Aquarius which means it’s time for new beginnings in the realms of science, technology and humanitarianism. Brilliant out-of-the-box thinking and innovative solutions to old problems is a great way to use this energy. New Moons are all about starting a new cycle.

Tune in on Monday 6pm PT/9pm ET to find out more…

Is it Lyme Disease or an Autoimmune Condition?

This week we explore Lyme Disease and how often it is misdiagnosed as an autoimmune condition. As our guest, Dr. Julia Greenspan knows all too well, having recovered from Lyme herself. One surprise she shares is, ‘you don’t have to see a tick on you or the circular, outwardly expanding rash common with infection to have contracted Lyme.’ She also shares her expert insights on:

* How many symptoms are misunderstood in determining is it a microbe or autoimmune.
* How to get beyond the label of ‘trend disease’ and get help.
* The relationship between Lyme disease, other tick-borne infections to autoimmune disease.
* Ways one can decrease inflammation in the body to avoid the autoimmune response.
* Plus much more…

Dr. Julia Greenspan is a naturopathic doctor and author of the book “Rising Above Lyme Disease.” Dr. Greenspan is a Lyme Literate Doctor with a majority of her patients having some form of the tick-borne disease. Her focus in this area of medicine stems from living in New England, one of the most infected and infested areas in the country for Lyme disease and her struggles to recover from Lyme.

She has been listed in the Top Doctor’s Reader’s Poll with New Hampshire Magazine several times and interviewed as an expert on tick-borne illnesses on TV, radio, podcasts and in print media. Dr. Greenspan’s website is www.greenhousemedicine.com. Listen to this compelling interview first on Friday, February 1st and later in a podcast.
