                               Saving Democracies from International Antagonists is Crucial! Why?  Because Anti-democratic Antagonists want Democracies to become extinct and “replace them” with Authoritarian rulers [Dictators, Putin in Russia], or with Religious Rulers [Theocracies, religious leaders in Iran and Afghanistan].  Antagonists purposefully activate political and religious destabilization Internationally to accomplish these goals, with Wars, with fascistical Nationally inclined Political Parties [The Brothers of Italy], and Extremist Religious-Right Fundamentalists [ISIS, the Islamic State].  Communist and Autocratic Leaders are Antagonists, as they govern within Authoritarian governmental systems which despise the principles of a Democracy, such as civil rights, freedoms, equality, the rule of law and much more.  The U.S. Antagonists are the Extreme Right-Wing ideologists, w...

The Insurrection and attempted Coup d'etat of the U.S. Capitol Last Wednesday, January 6th, 2021, an insurrection by an extremist-mob attempted a “coup d’etat”  to over-throw the Congress and even to kill some U.S. Capitol Representatives, Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and Vice-President Pence who, as President of the Senate, had oversight of the counting and could confirm the Electoral College Votes out of each of the 50 U. S. States.  The mob's intent was to stop the Capitol Representatives from counting the Electoral College Votes, which is the final Official process in the confirmation that President-Elect Joseph Biden “is” the next President of the United States!  This Coup was the result of continuous lies and incitement by President Donald J. Trump since the Election on November 3, 2020, stating: "... the election was a fraud", [and encouraged his followers to go directly to the Capitol at a rally on January 6, 2021 and take back the election.  Nevertheless, aft...

  Hello United States’ Voters living or working in Europe or Elsewhere,      We only have a bit more than four weeks until the U.S. Election, TUESDAY, November 3rd, 2020. I hope each of you will vote in your designated State, or as  an absentee voter per mail, or fax your vote in.  No matter. Please vote!    This  election is beyond important.   It is imperative to our Democracy and future! Here are just a few reasons why:      If you want to maintain a Democracy in the United States that protects  Liberties and Rights for all under the U.S. Constitution, Federal and States’ Laws,  and you realize the significance of the loss of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader  Ginsburg recently, and her tireless work and advocacy for women’s Rights and  Equality, then your votes are more important than ever!      If you want to stop Authoritarianism, Divisiveness, and the increasing  Xenophob...

Hello Everyone, Finally, my posting and proper functioning of my blog domain seems to be now in order.  Let's hope it continues. As everyone, I very much wanted to see the Muller Report.  The information from Special Counsel Robert Muller and staff on both the possibility of whether or not the Trump Campaign colluded with Russian operatives is well and clearly stated. Also:  whether President Trump has committed blatant acts of "Abuse of Power" or not, is likewise clearly itemized systematically in this Report. Here is a direct link to CNN's entire Muller Report at the following website, and I hope you read it: https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/18/politics/full-mueller-report-pdf/index.html The Muller Report at CNN   Let me know your thoughts. Best always, Angela Oberbauer, M.A. https://www.angelaspoliticalforum.org

Hello Everyone,                                                                            May 5, 2018 The 7 U.S. Supreme Court Justices ruled yesterday, June 4, 2018, with a 7-2 Ruling   in favor of a devout Christian [artist] baker Jack Phillips vs. two Gay men, Charlie Craig and David Mullins in Colorado (  Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission  at Scott Lemieux, June 5, 2018, www.nbcnews.com).  The Court stated  that, "... a Colorado [Civil Rights Commission] panel’s decision against him  [Phillips] had been infected by religious animus (Zach Gibson, June 4, 2018, in the www.nytimes.com).   Cited as:  584 U. S. ____ (2018)   SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES _________________ No. 16–111 _ ______...

Hello Everyone, It was interesting to see CNN's Maggie Lake's Money Express, Money Pit show this morning from Wall Street make critical remarks with a U.S. journalist about an article in the New York Times today on German car makers having used monkeys and humans as ginny--pigs in research about the possible reactions to nitrogen oxide in diesel engines (Jack Ewing, NY Times, January 29, 2018 at www.NYtimes.com; and at:  Netflix, Dirty Money Series, January 27, 2018).    Is CNN trying to push U.S. car stock sales and diminish German car stocks, by pushing this one-side story?  Let's look at our U.S. car industry and see what the other U.S. car manufacturer's use to show how they get their positive results relevant to chemical testing on the materials in their cars focused on protecting the U.S. consumer.  No one can agree more than yours truly that the cited testing noted by Netflix's Dirty Money Series and the Times' story on this issue is horrific, and r...

Hello Everyone, I am back, now teaching in Europe.  You will be hearing from me a lot now. First off, this horror in Las Vegas: Why Stephen Paddock chose to annihilate 59 human beings and injure 527 more is beyond anyone's imagination. Paddock strategically planned this massacre.   We will find out how he acquired these powerful weapons and massive amounts of ammunition to execute his plan, and to no one's surprise, because the laws in so many states allow such access. The NRA must be proud of how the Nevada officials who faced the TV cameras yesterday, and spoke only about unity, thankfulness to all first responders, but not one of the officials, neither the Mayor of Las Vegas, nor Congress members, nor Governor Brian Sandoval of Nevada had the grit to speak out about the fact that U.S. Gun laws allow easy access to such weapons, causing this kind of carnage.  The Republican representatives, including President Donald Trump, whose political campaign ches...
