Pittsburgh and North Allegheny Water Polo Squads meet up on Sunday afternoon
City middle school water polo confab with North Allegheny Tigers on Sunday afternoon.
Fwd: Understand this chart?
Forward message from John H.
Sometimes the obvious is too confounding for most of us to grasp easily. In the video linked below Professor Stephanie Kelton graphically and elegantly explains how money actually works in the American economy and why most of what people believe is simply wrong. So set aside some time for this presentation, it is something every American taxpayer and voter should see and understand.

Water Polo is happening at MACS
Love the energy and improvements with the water polo. Next, I am excited to take the squads to the next level and really COMPETE. Those lessons open up new chapters to learning, discovery and understanding in how to play well with others. Games are scheduled in the days and weeks to come.

Mothers and Government Reporting
The research reported, ... "that most women wanted 2.2 kids in their lifetime, the researchers said this is down slightly from a 2002 survey."
We have two kids. But, I'm not sure my wife is like most women who desire 2.2 kids.
Go figure.

Who's really supporting Donald Trump
John posted to me and others:
I urge everyone to read the attached ARTICLE from The Guardian newspaper as it is both timely and, I believe, very important if we are to come to grips with who we as a people really are.
The author examines just who the Trump supporters really are; and, at the same time, excoriating main stream media both for its failure to identify the breadth of Trump’s support and claiming it is comprised mainly of poor “white trash” uneducated folk who just aren’t smart enough to see what’s really at stake in the election. The article supports my belief that much of his support is coming from middle and upper-middle class mainly white folks with a rather different perspective on the state of the nation as well as a very different viewpoint on how things should be run. It also discusses the fact that many more elements of society were and still are impacted by the financial crisis than is commonly reported or believed. One of the most important elements addressed in the article is who really is racist in our society and how this is not the subject of media coverage. This is not a trivial point and should be examined in greater depth than is offered when filtered through the biases which dominate main stream media.

Fwd: Something new, Saturday Swim School at Oliver High School, Northside
Hi Friends in and around Pittsburgh,
Time to invite you to join in with a new venture of mine, Saturday Swim School. Let's gather at the pool, get in some fitness, enjoy some aquatic games, to teach and learn with kids how to play well with others,
Saturday Swim School activities are on the Northside at Oliver High School, 2323 Brighton Road, 15212.
Enter the swim pool area of Oliver High School from the door by the gym past the loading dock. Easy parking in the lot.
9 am = Triathletes & Varsity Swimmers (especially adults & high school ages)
10 am = Disk-based, aquatic games, cross-training, (think easy water polo and fun) for high school and adult participants.
11:30 - NOON = Swim Lesson for All Middle school students should arrive.
Noon to 1 pm = Middle School aquatic games with mentors welcome too.
1 pm to 1:45 pm is Underwater Hockey for Rookies, Adults, and Varsity Swimmers. (No Underwater Hockey this weekend, 10/15/2016, as the Pittsburgh team is traveling to an out of town tournament.)
No fees. No transportation. No web site yet, but it is coming.
This is a labor of love as a proof of concept to display how quality programs among citizens can and should occur at our schools in out-of-school time.
Join in.
I'm interested in establishing a sustainable programto bridge engagement for kids throughout the winter who have experienced SUMMER DREAMERS with us in the past. But, there is plenty of room for more students and families. Plus, we'll be training lifeguards and swim instructors for future summer program expansion.
---
FYI: No Saturday Swim School on Halloween weekend (as I'm going to a college parents weekend) nor on Thanksgiving weekend.

Feel free to pass along the invite and call, text or email me if you have any questions.

Well, we'd better be getting prepared for Hillary to ascend to the throne of the Empire next January. Her neocon allies are already hitting the pavement pushing for the removal of Putin as President of Russia – if not a direct military attack on Russia (see second attachment). Hillary has pretty much indicated that this sort of policy is right in her wheelhouse. She'll likely begin with the establishment of a " no-fly zone" in Syria. This will almost certainly bring the U.S. or one of our surrogates in direct conflict with Russia. The U.S. propaganda ministry has been operating overtime to convince our citizens and the rest of the world that Russia is the criminal aggressor in Syria. And we should all be aware that, no matter how we may feel about the Assad regime, it is still the internationally recognized government of Syria; and, as such, has invited Russia to lawfully be in the country fighting the so-called rebel forces sponsored by the U.S. and NATO countries (see first attachment). Thus, the U.S. and all of the rest are in the position of being international war criminals operating in clear violation of international law such as it is these days.
In Syria as in other areas of the Middle East the U.S. has been operating in an effective alliance – supplying arms, ammunition and other support to al Qaeda and its various offshoot organizations such as the al Nusra front in an illegal effort to overthrow the Assad regime all the while claiming that we are fighting against ISIS. This is a proxy war that does not bode well for either the U.S. or for the world. There are now multiple high ranking military officers, up to and perhaps including the Secretary of Defense, strongly advocating a direct assault on Russia. This would, of course be the height of folly and might well result in the termination of human life on earth – although perhaps quicker and less painful than waiting for climate change to play out in a century or two.
In this the collective hubris of the neocon crowd is beyond measure and belief, but that has never stopped them before. They were, after all, the primary force behind the illegal war on Iraq in 2003 and continuing, as well as Libya and now Syria. The fact that it also generates vast wealth from government coffers to the defense industry and multitudes of private contractors taking advantage of the virtually bottomless pit of welfare being dispensed provides political momentum. It is also enabled by very fact of a volunteer military which is also incentivized by endless war in which promotions are frequent and, for senior officers, lucrative positions with contractors, lobbyists and as "color commentators" for cable TV are sure to follow.
Unfortunately little attention is given in the media or otherwise to the massive death, destruction, displacement and terror which is imposed on those in the countries we choose to assault in the name of freeing them from terrible dictators and imposing democracy – whether or not anything like democracy ever follows. Nor is any real thought given to those American volunteers sacrificed to the Empire's war machine. The only time casualties really seem to matter is when they can be blamed – whether true or not – on the supposed enemy whoever it might be this week. The important condition is that the wars must go on. Too much is a stake for peace to be permitted to break out; too much wealth to be forfeited.
This is the price of Empire. The boundaries must always be expanded and defended; and the enemies are always at hand. More importantly, if there are no convenient enemies some must be found or created otherwise the populace might become restive and revolt. In this empire, just like many in the past, the real fruits gradually fail to be distributed to the masses at home as the oligarchs and plutocrats hoard the spoils to themselves. But this Empire is even more different from most past empires in that there don't really appear to be many spoils from battlefields and conquered provinces. The wealth that is accumulated is mainly taken from the citizens of the "homeland" and therein lies a potential fatal flaw. Once the mass of the people figure out just how they are being scammed and abused by their leaders they are likely to refuse to cooperate – and empires, no matter how powerful do not survive forever.
We are, I believe, now seeing the beginnings of such anger arising in the current election cycle. Most of those long frustrated at being left behind still haven't come to realize why exactly their situation is as it is, but they at least recognize that the deck is stacked against them by their putative leaders and they don't want more of the same. Most of us still remain victims of the Empire's propaganda machine which incessantly inveighs us to blame and fight one another. Still, there is just a glimmer of recognition beginning to develop that the real problem is not down here among the "little people", as our politicians are fond of terming the rest of us, but up there among those who serve the masters of the machine as well as the masters themselves.
Unfortunately the neocon space cadets, none of whom have ever served their nation in the military, may manage to get us all annihilated before there is enough sentiment aroused to take down the Empire and return the nation to the people. But, until that time, we must work to resist and overcome these forces of death and destruction. It is not much hope, but it is all there is.
