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.
TERRORISTS AND MADMEN
A nation with a military squatting in the Middle East over decades, bombing at their pleasure, suddenly have found moral clarity as it jumps at the chance to position their political opposition as quasi terrorists and madmen. How soon we forget the inanity after 9/11 when W. attacked not the nation of origin of most of the terrorists, but Iraq and the Saddam Hussein who had offended Poppy Bush. The actual effect of that is the deaths of millions of Iraqi’s. The leadership was also changed; and by the way, who is leading that nation now? Who knows?
WHEN OLIGARCHS FIGHT
First oligarchs can be defined as such, rather than in the gently pandering Western phraseology. Crack down on the general public along with indulgence of hierarchy is embarrassingly Western.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
US funds will follow the interests of the American oligarchs….AKA American interests overseas…..Americans are reminded “we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic. Jobs have been sent overseas where manufacturing is controlled by foreigners, resulting in empty shelves and high prices in the USA. Demands for a 1-payer comprehensive public health care system by a majority of Americans are ignored by political recipients of industrial big-money campaign contributions. Most deadly is the Climate Change caused by abuse of nature and our environment. The USA feels like the engine of worldwide military aggression and oligarchical models.
DEFINE PEACE
What do we call peace under the influence of Climate Change caused by profiteering by hierarchy?
Fundamental refining of approaches to existence are needed in order to enhance quality of life for everyone. Dependence on hierarchy to initiate remedies inevitably will lead to the same system we now endure, due to corruption. Quite plainly when economic excellence is the priority, as inviting as this seems, in the end division will prevail as to who benefits and who pays the price.
WHAT CAN BE DONE NOW?
To lead by example is preferable to dictating. The USA can do this with the involvement of We The People; in FACT there is no other way. Politicians have over centuries been recognized for what they are. Money in elections has not burnished their image.
Electronic Communism
One is no more impressed or distressed by communism as one is with capitalism; because each seems opposite sides of the same coin of authority and hierarchy. One prefers principles of our democratic Constitutional republic. One dares to mention democracy as we are flirting with a world war under the banner of supporting democracy in the Ukraine, even as we are reminded that the USA is not a democracy by some authority/hierarchy characters. What could be their purpose?
