Marianne Williamson: ‘The system is even more corrupt than I knew’ | Fox News
Editor’s Note: We love Marianne for her fresh and insightful views originating from as an outsider to mainstream politics. In her appearance in the Democratic candidates debate she pointed out quite astutely that true health care cannot be achieved with the current system in place (whether it’s Obamacare or Medicare for All). The health care system is completely broken and must be rebuilt from the bottom up beginning with prevention and wellness. Thanks for contributing to this most important conversation and acknowledging the important of intelligent debate and civil discourse.
Marianne Williamson, a 2020 presidential hopeful and author, said she’s discovered the political system to be “even more corrupt” than she imagined, during a Tuesday interview with “Fox & Friends.”
“I was known in a world where people loved you and bought things from you. Now I’m in a world where a lot of people hate you,” she said. “I would say that I feel that I’ve learned the system is even more corrupt than I knew and people are even more wonderful than I hoped.”
Williamson also said there is a tendency in politics today to stifle opposing opinions, which weakens democracy and limits genuine debate.
“I have seen on the left as on the right, there are too many people who do not recognize how important honorable debate is in a democracy,” she said.
“You can disagree with somebody’s opinion but that doesn’t mean you should be shutting them down or lying about them or misrepresenting their views. That’s not a left-right issue. There’s a rough-and-tumble in politics.”
Co-host Lisa Boothe asked Williamson if she felt abandoned by the Democratic Party because she didn’t qualify for the upcoming debate, and she said that even if she did, she wouldn’t air her private grievances.
“No, I don’t feel abandoned,” she replied. “I’m a passionate Democrat… My mother always said if you have a problem with your family don’t talk about it outside the family. I’m not going to come on Fox and bad-mouth. The DNC has its rules and, listen, I signed up for this. And I’m playing by those rules”

Justice Neil Gorsuch on his concern for America’s future: ‘Republics have a checkered history’ | Fox News
Editor’s Note: Sadly, we have one of the most ignorant and poorly educated citizenries ever, thus Gorsuch’s affirmation of the importance of an informed and educated public (and a transparent government as well) must be heard and understood. Seems not even our elected representatives know how to govern effectively these days.
In an exclusive Fox Nation interview, Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch revealed his deep concerns for the future of America, which drove him to write his new book, “A Republic, if you can keep it.”
The book’s title is inspired by a famous phrase attributed to Founding Father Benjamin Franklin. As Franklin left the Constitutional Convention of 1787, after the drafting of the U.S. Constitution, he was reportedly asked what form of government had been created. Franklin answered, “A Republic, if you can keep it”, suggesting that the country’s fate lay in the hands of its citizenry.
JUSTICE GORSUCH REVEALS THE TWO RULES HE TELLS HIS LAW CLERKS
Justice Gorsuch told Fox News anchor Shannon Bream in his first televised interview as a Supreme Court Justice that an uninformed public is a danger to the country. “Republics have a checkered history in our history books, and we need to make sure that the people know how to run their own government.”
Gorsuch said, “I am concerned on the civics front when I read that about a third of Americans can’t name the three branches of government. 60% apparently would fail the American naturalization examination — that worries me.”
Justice Gorsuch also believes that an understanding of America’s past is central to the nation’s future success, and he credits the musical “Hamilton” for educating America’s youngest generations.
Gorsuch explained, “You’ve seen a secretary of Treasury and a vice president of the United States have a duel. That’s part of our history. It’s always been a ruckus republic. We used to have Senators cane one another on the floor. I’m glad we don’t have that anymore, at least, but it is a ruckus republic. That is what makes us strong. We can appreciate and embrace different ideas and open ourselves to one another and remember that that person with whom we disagree is coming at it from the same angle, the same hope of making a more perfect union.”
SUPREME COURT JUSTICE REVEALS HOW HIS NOMINATION TRIP BEGAN
“I think democracy is a really hard business and that’s because its strength comes from disagreements and the ability to air — comfortably and confidently — your point of view. Share it with others and have it heard and pick the best at the end of the day. That’s the idea of democracy. But for it to work, we have to listen as well as speak. We have to tolerate as well as expect tolerance for our point of view,” added Gorsuch.

Japan may abandon the development of 5G networks for the health of citizens | Красная Армия
Japan will not develop and invest in the creation of fifth-generation mobile networks. This is stated on the official website of the Ministry of High Technologies of the country. Officials expressed the opinion that the creation of a faster Internet than previously is dangerous for the population and may adversely affect people’s health and labor productivity.
A study by the University of Nagasaki provides figures confirming the increase in the number of mental disorders and fatigue among high-speed Internet users. According to scientists, the more a person manages to conduct intellectual operations per minute, the more he is prone to the development of stress, absent-mindedness and an increase in nervous excitement. The Ministry of Health supplements colleagues and assures that using 5G networks can reduce the average life expectancy in the country for the first time in 60 years, and the impact of high-speed Internet is comparable to the effects of radiation on the human body.
“We need to think about the health of the Japanese. Our country has already accelerated economically so that today we have nowhere to hurry. It is necessary to stabilize this state. 5G is fraught with great danger. So we think not only we, yesterday this information was confirmed by the US ambassador to Japan. If America, China or the EU countries are ready to risk their people for the sake of progress, then such a strategy is unacceptable for our welfare state, ”said Nobunari Kabato, Minister of High Technologies.
The bill to ban fifth-generation mobile networks in the country has already been submitted to the Japanese parliament.
