We Need a Global Pro-Democracy Movement (TL-541) show art We Need a Global Pro-Democracy Movement (TL-541)

Charles Bursell Presents

The madness of the Iran nuclear dustup brings into harsh focus the need for a worldwide people-to-people democracy movement that shuns so-called ‘leaders’ and reduces the power of profit and borders, eventually abolishing them altogether.

The Resistance for Dummies (TL-539) show art The Resistance for Dummies (TL-539)

Charles Bursell Presents

Hey Democrats, do your job or get out of the way for those who will. Also, nobody except numbskull neocons favor Netanyahu’s illegal war, and political violence is not only immoral, it’s downright stupid.

Charles Bursell Presents

The week was particularly violent, both in the real world and in the cosplaying Chickenhawk In Chief’s fascist reality TV show. Still dangerous, the Regime is backpedaling while the resistance ascends.

Defund the Despots (CBP-100) show art Defund the Despots (CBP-100)

Charles Bursell Presents

Show Notes: The Resistance has room to grow. Don’t ask, demand. American Fascists are miles ahead of their Twentieth Century counterparts. The press fails to cover Hegseth and covers for him. The Regime’s ideological purity test includes a pro-Capitalist pledge. Turn off the video, audio is superior. Harvard’s free online classes. How to unplug the Tech-Bro Monarchs forever: abolish money.

The ICE Man Cometh (TL-537) show art The ICE Man Cometh (TL-537)

Charles Bursell Presents

Some needed context in the cold and lawless attack on immigrants: The Regime bolsters its cruel authoritarian project, who the police swore to serve and protect, for-profit media lies, the discipline of nonviolence, the difference between protest rallies and direct action, and corporate Dems usurp the resistance.

Standing Up (TL-536) show art Standing Up (TL-536)

Charles Bursell Presents

LA protesters stand up to ICE, Elon Musk’s political rapid unscheduled disassembly, the German Chancellor schools the Orange Clown in front of the world, and in a victory for due process, Kilmar is back on US soil to face down trumped-up charges.

Kill the Bill (TL-535) show art Kill the Bill (TL-535)

Charles Bursell Presents

The big bill is as bad as you’ve heard – transferring wealth to the rich while gutting essential health and safety regulations – and much, much worse: like guaranteeing certain death for hundreds of thousands who rely on subsidized health or international aid. Oh, and it “legalizes” American Fascism. Think I’m exaggerating? Read the bill. Then kill it.

Populism is here to stay and it’s time for the Left to embrace it, or else. Also: startling poll results on low/no information voters, and the macroeconomic numbers don’t match consumers’ lying eyes. www.charlesbursell.com
