BEYOND INDOCTRINATION
One may worry that the standing of Jane Fonda may be sullied among the oligarchs of the globe due to her position on exploitation; but then one recalls that Jane Fonda never held an honored position among those with predatory character—
WHEN TECHNOLOGY WORKS
C-Span isn’t coming in this weekend, as it often reacts when there is a heavy cloud cover. The less technologically-touchy NPR, however, is coming in just fine. All the technology required is to plug the radio into the wall, if our local grid is still functioning. Advertising has ignored the FACT that the more complicated the technology, the less dependable it is. And so do our industry-purchased politicians so ignore. But the money is nice.
EST. CHAUVINISM
Similar to the history of Jesus, the Establishment interpretation of the ideas of The Founders are quite different from what can be understood by reading their words. Not only The Founders had a diverse and sophisticated view of government, but also what in 2022 could be called “influencers” also could be eye-opening. For example, having heard but never read the ideas of Thomas Paine, who is said to have influenced views for liberty, to read his ideas is fascinating and heartening.
EGO WANTS WHAT IT WANTS
WHO ARE WE?
Who doesn’t understand the motivation of Zalensky and in FACT who wouldn’t act the same in his shoes? And this may be how history is rewritten to fit the Establishment script. The movement of non-violence that was the foundation of ideas from MLK, Jr. has been white-washed for political expediency by capitalists who are posturing as pro-democracy when an informed person can understand that capitalism is hierarchical and antithetical to democracy.
WHAT THEY SAY, NOT WHAT THEY DO
C-Span showcased US politicians seemingly enthusiastic over having recently listened to Ukrainian President Zalensky.
AFFECTATION NATION
It’s not like there aren’t alternatives to war and Climate Change. Denial and obfuscation aren’t working so well. Let’s try reality.
BOTH HOUSES OF COMMERCE
This morning the host of C-Span, who seems to use all of her faculties to maintain a forum of Free Speech and fairness, seemed to express truth rather than FACT as she reported that Zalensky would address “both Houses of Commerce” instead of using the state-approved label of “both Houses of Congress”.
CLIMATE CHANGE OR WAR?
THESE ARE NOT OUR ONLY CHOICES.
We have more serious topics to consider than interests of individual nations and the ideology of each. The public of the world need to challenge using local communities for the exploitation for the elite. So far local communities aren’t doing so well, but seem to follow the lead from their tormentors.
IMAGINE LIFESTYLE THAT DOES LITTLE HARM
Some corporate-owned-state-run MSM views are heard to call lifestyle with consideration of inflicting as little harm on the environment and each other is “Pollyanna-ish”. This is an extraordinarily violent perspective. Yet we seem sufficiently indoctrinated with hierarchical violence to submit to this mindset. A thoughtful person simply cannot accept this aggression and violence as being normal. This view is surely a choice, but a very bad choice.
PERSPECTIVE IS THE SUNSHINE
First, universal perspective

DEFINE AMERICAN INTERESTS
First define American interests. So far, oligarchs seem to have defined American interests for a silenced American public.
INSTABILITY
To use the jargon of “The West”, one refers to masculine and feminine. This is most emphatically not to imply it is about men and women, it is only colloquial to speak to the audience. One can as easily refer to yin and yang or cause and effect. And so, fewer people would be able to relate. Balance is hopeful and would benefit everyone.
BLINKEN ‘SPLAINS RUSSIA…’NUFF SAID…
Revolting is the idea of Blinken ‘splaining the views of Russia; especially since the USA and “Western concerns” have been instrumental in actions within the Ukraine when the USA has described Ukrainian government as the most corrupt in the world. Equally revolting has been the habit of corporate-owned-state-run MSM talking heads with little understanding of recent history, equate Russia with fascism when Russia was instrumental though brutal in challenging Hitler and Nazis during WWII. To understand other people is essential to be intellectually honest. This isn’t about the level of governmental corruption peculiar to any one government; but more about the corruption of oligarchy.
THE OTHER RUSSIA….LIKE THE OTHER USA
Patriarchy lives in world oligarchs. The aggression and violence are endemic with most of these people, to gain supremacy and power.
WHEN STATE RUNS NEWS
As a 70’s Feminist, skepticism would be the attitude with which to hear the views of an Iranian Ayatollah. But to understand how others view the USA only seems intellectually honest.
