Welcome to Bruce’s Blog. You can choose from two lists [below]. One—under the rubric PLAIN TALK—leads to a series of posts critiquing the design offered by the Republican Party in the United States. The second opens to my topical posts. This is best known as my ‘rant blog’.
❄ PLAIN TALK [I]: OBSTRUCT THE REPUBLIC
❄ PLAIN TALK [II]: SUPPRESS THE VOTE
❄ PLAIN TALK [III]: STARVE THE REPUBLIC
❄ PLAIN TALK [IV]: PRIVATIZE THE REPUBLIC
❄ PLAIN TALK [V]: BUY THE REPUBLIC
❄ PLAIN TALK [ VI]: SURVEILL THE PEOPLE
❄ PLAIN TALK [VII]: IMPOVERISH THE PEOPLE
❄ PLAIN TALK [VIII]: THE GREAT EXTORTION

I’ve just moved this blog to WordPress and am only beginning to become comfortable with unfamiliar commands and procedures. If something looks awry, or a link doesn’t work, please be patient. But in reading earlier posts please be careful to discern by context what are my comments and what is quoted (refer to original sources in the NOTES if in doubt). As I tidy up the move to WordPress I’ll render all quotes unmistakably.
