Thanks so much to all on the Ralph Nader Radio Hour, you are so inspirational with your continuing hard work and news of the world, with expert analysis.... so good.......
Nobody ever said any differently. Got something worth saying? What I'm telling everybody is that they are all delusional, because they believe in things that don't exist, such as democracy, and sanity, etc.
Study some actual history, not the history written by the bullies / profiteers who f*** everybody at their own expense. If you can't see the repeating patterns, you have a lot of homework to do.
Ralph has a long history of service. He is doing what he can do now. It is not up to him to do things for us. If you think it is not enough, just don't listen to him. Easy. I, for one, do learn a lot and apply a lot of his wisdom. I at least try.
That's your opinion, not a set, accept and universal definition of politics.
I don't have to define "service" to you. But I do believe that his work on consumer protection, his presidential runs, his writings, his work on environment, and a bunch of other things he has done are services. I, and many others, benefited from them.
If you think that the focus should be somewhere else, then go there. I don't think any of us who appreciate Ralph are here and only here to wait for his guidance to tell us what to do. Many disagree with some of his points. It is called human interaction. It is normal. And I am pretty sure most of us do listen to other sources
Now, if you are coming here to simply say how wrong he is and that he should have stayed with the automobile manufacturers, that is borderline trolling. It is not intellectually honest. You have your opinion and others have theirs. I listen to people and then I think about what I heard. If I don't agree at all, then I don't go back.
But you do you, I am not really interested in debating what Ralph should be doing. He is capable of making this decision for himself.
Everything you just said is from the script written by the fascist swine who control everything on this planet.
Yes, you do have to define words that you use if you're using them incorrectly. I specialize in teaching people how to recognize bogus terminologies, as well as how to recognizing mental programming operations.
Mr Nader does not understand anything about psychology, which is why he doesn't understand where the global sources from which all wickedness originates. Or does he? If he does, he's just playing along the way all of the other mouthpieces play along.
Until you admit to yourself that everything on this planet is rigged by one fascist global faction, who writes all of these scripts that all of these mouthpieces use, you are perpetuating global fascism. You're not allowed to fix anything, and you're not allowed to opt out of paying for the bodyguards of the fascist globalist swine writing the scripts.
If you continue to discuss everything based on the lie that there's a level playing field, you'll never understand why you can't fix anything. The only thing you can fix is to deprogram yourself.
I have worked for some of the highest level politicians in this country as well as corrupt corporate media, and that's the short list. Don't tell me what I don't know. They're not opinions. They are facts, based on personal experience and literally thousands of hours of study since the 1970s.
So, is it only me or anyone who disagrees with you a fascist? You sound like someone full of self-importance. I will be on the look out for the day you save us all from our ignorance and, following this victory, saves the world.
You are right, I don't know you. You also don't know me. You assume that I have no personal experience of any kind. calling people fascists because you consider them ignorant just ends conversations. And yes, you have opinions, obviously based on your experience. Maybe you are proved right sometimes, and I am sure you are proved wrong. Like all of us. What you don't have, just because such a person does not exist, is monopoly of knowledge.
so, rant away. Since I am hopeless and a fascist supporter, I guess I am doomed to ignorance, so it would be a waste of everything to keep this conversation
What I'm moving is people's perceptions, away from the personalities who do the dirty work for the global faction that controls everything. The establishments wants everybody focused on the personalities so they won't point the finger at the puppeteers.
Where to begin with such a fine program? Paul Rogers is spot on in his assessment of the Iran war and that assessment spells danger in terms of where this war will lead. As I wrote in my recent Substack piece “Stop in the name of love...”, there’s no logical way of knowing where a war carried out by two power-hungry lunatics will go. This war could go nuclear because Iran is inflicting substantive damage on Israel, and Israel would probably consider the use of nuclear weapons if it feels its existence is threatened. In terms of Trump’s ultimate decisions on the Iran war, it’s sort of like riding a bumper car in an old amusement park, and I don’t think this war of aggression is amusing in any way. Just like in the bumper car scenario, we collectively don’t know where this unstable president will go next. Who knows where these unhinged characters will go with their collective or individual lunacy? I agree with Paul Rogers that Trump is unlikely to pick up his marbles at this point, declare victory, and leave. There are too many of his donors who will abandon him, and though he probably will not seek a third term, their abandonment of him now will be a blow to his ego. Narcissists are usually not good dealing with the latter.
In terms of Bruce Fein’s talk, really, what high crime or misdemeanor is Donald Trump not guilty of? As Bruce Fein delineates, the crimes, from threatening individuals who disagree with him, to wars and acts of military aggression, could easily be brought before Congress if Congress weren’t so full of Trump sycophants and Democrats who are either weaklings, or on board the corporate military-industrial complex train to nowhere.
The current landscape is likely more dangerous than the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962.
All Americans should be aware of JFK's June 10, 1963 commencement address at American University - his 'peace speech'. That a sitting president gave this speech is significant. He was also assassinated five months later.
I don't think that Trump will leave as long as he can manipulate the market and get his family to make money with bettings and the such. He is a grifter, he will grift
A couple other observations to note. First the collective anti civilian siege on Gaza following Oct 7 and continuing to this day is not a war. It’s an extermination, a genocide, anticipated and planned for many many years before this revenge action to Oct 7. But throughout the discussion it is referred to as a war. Language and the facts behind language are important.
Second point is the repeated mention during the exciting discussion and actions moving forward on impeachment the speaker rightly said that the focus is on constitutional crimes, not ad hominem attacks on trump personally. Agreed! BUT I was offended and disturbed that the impeachable person could do whatever ever he wants outside of that focus including Epstein activities. Our settler colonial country’s constitution was written by and for rich white men and did not include the same rights for poor white men, any women, indigenous people, Africans abducted from their homes and enslaved to build the country’s economy. All these groups continue to claw their way toward equality. The Epstein gang physically, sexually and psychologically abused women and girls. This is well known so dismissing sexist and pediphilic crimes as ok to be involved with vs the constitutional crimes mentioned instead of placing them in another crime category only because of the mistakes committed in the constitution is not a good idea. Distinguish the two criminal activity groups or choose something less dismissive of women and girls PLEASE! If I have misunderstood these remarks please explain.
Let's use the power provided by the Constitution to "impeach" ALL the big money politicians.
Even if we get the big money politicians to impeach Trump it will not solve the problem that led to Trump.
Big Money controlling our political process is the Weapon of Mass Destruction that led to Trump and is destroying democracy.
We need to harness our Weapon of Mass Construction (our votes) by demanding small donor candidates and enforcing that demand with our votes starting in 2026 so that we can "impeach" the big money politicians in 2028 and future elections.
Otherwise all we will accomplish is reacting to the symptoms and not doing anything to address the cause of the problems.
Ralph has said that politicians want our votes more than the big money to run their campaigns.
So let's use that basic principle of democracy instead of repeating the same mistakes of the last fifty years of voting for big money candidates starting in 2026.
It's been over ten years that I have been asking Ralph to discuss using the principle that Ralph implies with his statement on politicians wanting our votes more than big money and Ralph has not been able to find one hour to discuss this strategy with me.
What hope can we have if we can't even get Ralph Nader to discuss implementing the principles he espouses?
I disagree with Ralph when he says that Israel prefers that the numbers of deaths in Gaza remain low. The government of the place is committing genocide, occupying several other countries, committing ethnic cleanse, destroying hospitals everywhere, using the tactic of double hits every single time, and passing laws that mandate death by hanging only for Palestinians who dissent form Israeli narrative. All this with the world watching and doing absolutely nothing.
80 to 90% of the Jewish/zionists in the occupied Palestine agree with the genocide and only protest the war with Iran because the bombs are falling on their side. They don't really care about appearances, they know they will not be punished. Even the UN has cowered and let the Iran illegal attacks pass as if Iran is the rogue part.
I thought that he instead said that Hamas preferred to keep the numbers low — so as not to invite protest by Gazans about its failure to defend them. I’ll go back and listen though. A lot of important information to absorb.
He said that too, andI also disagree. Everyone in Gaza and beyond knows that it is Israel, with the US backing everything, that is causing the genocide and that there are many more than the official numbers. They might even want to protest but they are too busy trying to survive. I don't think anyone thought that Hamas could defend the population against the wrath of a genocidal state either
Glad to see that you are live-streaming the impeachment conference, but disappointed in your choice of venues - Facebook? I don't do "social"media, and U-tube? owned by "don't be evil" Google - would need to open up account (:
Why not on Zoom? it is a good medium, records proceedings and provides an e-mail link to them so one can watch again or if one misses it live, and can be added to "calendar" apps which reminds people when it is soon to start ... have watched many webinars on it ...
I am a chemist. I think about the thousands of missiles that Iran is storing and all of the solid and liquid fuels they use, and about all the explosive warheads, and I cannot understand how Iran managed to get the millions of pounds of chemical explosives that they apparently did without alerting some monitoring force. It must have taken multiple shiploads of chemicals. Is there actually no monitoring of conventional explosives?
lets an Extreme Zionist party 'wag the tail' of Israel's Coalition Govt by threatening to leave the Coalition if the Govt doesn't abrogate the civil-human rights that originate in Hebrew history.
Instead, they try to restore the slaughter of the OldTestament to steal land from people who have lived there for centuries.
"Engaging in these murders on the high seas…these paramilitary attacks on people (in the Pacific and in the Caribbean) is unique to Trump." Mr. Bonifaz should get behind calls for an investigation of the USS Liberty, which is required under Article 1 Sec 8 of the Constitution. See Sgt. Bryce Lockwood's speech at the National Press Club on March 26. Such an investigation would also determine that Israel is an enemy of the US & also violated international law with unmarked airplanes used in the attack on the USS Liberty.

The US under Joe Biden, funded a GENOCIDE in Gaza. Where were the calls for impeachment then?
Thanks so much to all on the Ralph Nader Radio Hour, you are so inspirational with your continuing hard work and news of the world, with expert analysis.... so good.......
Mr Nader you have always been a hero of mine,a fighter for the people!!!
Thank you, Mr. Nader, for your tireless and long term service.
You are truly a national treasure.
Thank you also for everyone else on this podcast, including your great guests.🙏🕊️
What service is that? He talks the talk but he doesn't walk the walk. He should have stuck with criticizing automobile manufacturers.
He knows what to say but he has no idea that he's supporting the very machinery he's complaining about.
Ralph can talk about whatever he wants to. Sorry (but not sorry) if you don't like that.
Nobody ever said any differently. Got something worth saying? What I'm telling everybody is that they are all delusional, because they believe in things that don't exist, such as democracy, and sanity, etc.
Study some actual history, not the history written by the bullies / profiteers who f*** everybody at their own expense. If you can't see the repeating patterns, you have a lot of homework to do.
Your reply is Gaslighting.
Sorry, you don't know the definition of gaslighting either. Try to get an education.
You are welcome for me handing you a love offering that you didn't recognize as such. Now do something useful with it.
Don't patronize me.
Ralph has a long history of service. He is doing what he can do now. It is not up to him to do things for us. If you think it is not enough, just don't listen to him. Easy. I, for one, do learn a lot and apply a lot of his wisdom. I at least try.
Talking the talk is not the same thing as walking the walk.
He's still addicted politics. Politics is all a farce, and is always criminal activity.
That's your opinion, not a set, accept and universal definition of politics.
I don't have to define "service" to you. But I do believe that his work on consumer protection, his presidential runs, his writings, his work on environment, and a bunch of other things he has done are services. I, and many others, benefited from them.

@Kathryn R Titus Moving the goalposts.
What I'm moving is people's perceptions, away from the personalities who do the dirty work for the global faction that controls everything. The establishments wants everybody focused on the personalities so they won't point the finger at the puppeteers.
You did not answer my question. You haven't defined "service."
What he's serving is continuing to deflect attention away from where all wickedness originates. That's what everybody should be focused on.

Look forward to April 8. The 17 articles of impeachment give me a good talking base when I call my reps again.
Fuck Israel
I don't think that Trump will leave as long as he can manipulate the market and get his family to make money with bettings and the such. He is a grifter, he will grift
Obama participated in extrajudicial assassinations even of American citizens. Embraced and expanded bush’s crimes of torture etc

"Impeachment" does not mean removed from office. How do people not know this? It simply means you're being put under scrutiny.
Yes, its a long process. His crimes would feel as if the “Law” could cover. One would think raping children would put a person in prison.
People with a moral compass would think so. But this fourth-world nation doesn't have a moral compass.
And the reason for that is that people erroneously believe that we have a government, which is in fact an organized crime racket.
Impeachment for All. Great idea.
Let's use the power provided by the Constitution to "impeach" ALL the big money politicians.
