COMMON PROSPERITY AND DEMOCRACY
While the USA is experiencing rising chaotic episodes that too often include violence, we could discuss whether a leveling of prosperity could short-circuit aggressive tendencies.
FREE MARKETS AND WESTERN VALUES
It’s almost as though global oligarchs regardless of nation of origin have found an excellent distraction for the transfer of wealth from the 100% to the 1%
DEMOCRACIES DON’T SUPPRESS POLITICAL PARTIES
Howie Hawkins suggests New York State has the most suppressive rules to permit political Parties on the ballet. This paraphrase used is only that, and the actual phraseology of Howie Hawkins can be accessed at the end of this information. Here’s a fresh bit of thought raised in the Hawkins’ discussion; why do we have a Senate? His answer, we don’t. Listen to be awakened.

https://twitter.com/blackintheempir/status/1535364644847730688 –The U.S. that helped to overthrow the democratically elected President of Ukraine in 2014, is now fighting for the democracy in Ukraine as the democracy in Ukraine bans all of its opposition Parties.

C-Span hosted a call in about gun control and crime in the USA, with open lines broken down into the Republican Party, Democratic Party, Independents, and law enforcement, with the presupposition that callers needed to identify with one of those concepts.

Perpetration of misinformation that US citizens are required to identify with a political Party which is suspiciously close to dictatorship, one notices the context of this presentation that asks the question of which will best deal with crime. Why is so-called law enforcement included as an entity to fight crime, judging from reality in the USA in 2022?
FACTually a case can be made that each of the call-in choices specified by C-Span may be in certain times and places be the origin of criminal activity; or at least the origin of dictatorial presumption toward We The People. To enforce identification with one of those quite-often authoritarian sources may be a part of the problem of democracy that is surely in decline in the USA. In other words, indoctrination is open but clothed in notions of Free Speech.
The dictator feels to be the Democratic/Republican duopoly that is a Capitalist Party that mirrors the actions and control of the Communist Party of the Former USSR.
The acceptance of Sweden and Finland that are enthusiastic to be allowed entrance into NATO, and are wealthy socialist nations that offer universal health care to their citizens, can be a source of funding for the Ukraine military actions defending against Russia, permitting relief to US taxpayers to an extent that permits availability to US citizens the humanity of universal health care——

Some people in the USA mindlessly sweep together all Europeans under one label, the better to promote propaganda more than reality. This makes easier promotion of evermore military action under an inane heading of “protecting Western values”. Life is more complicated—-

QUESTIONS, ANYONE?
Marija Gimbutas is an archaeologist who expresses controversial views. Controversy seems to originate from views of past cultures that aren’t embedded in patriarchy, or one may say yang. In the following LA Times story about her, you will find many said criticisms. Many women, however, could be interested to consider that women throughout history were vital members of society. That aggression and violence have often defined “the winners”, one shouldn’t be surprised that history is written by said “winners”.
MISSING EXPLANATIONS
Does anyone else need more explicit explanations about the actions of government and hierarchical Establishment?
DEFINE WEIRD
It’s like oligarchs bear no responsibility in a society called open, where the 1% can “pocket $1.1 billion” and then express disdain for the “closed society” of other nations.
COOPERATION AND COMPETITION
How workable is it to have both cooperation and competition? This feels like the message inherent in current Establishment rhetoric that is embedded within capitalistic hierarchy. The oxymoron of urging competition and cooperation provides space for authority to lightly skip from one message to another in a way that confuses and controls. Competition is the message to explain free market principles within capitalism which itself is an oxymoron, proven by run-away inflation. Cooperation is the message of required patience by the public as hierarchy sends our manufacturing and good-paying jobs overseas for maximized profiteering.

CRISIS OF DEMOCRACY
What else seems unusual?
https://popularresistance.org/connecting-the-dots-the-rulers-are-losing-narrative-control/ –Something strange is going on with the narrative put forward by the ruling elite. They seem to be admitting to a lot of very unusual things over the past couple years. Everything from UFOs to the culpability of Saudi Arabia in the planning of 9/11, the US government seems to be letting loose. Have they lost control of the narrative or are they trying to intentionally muddy the waters? Lee Camp has a theory as to why.
AS ABOVE SO BELOW
AS ABOVE SO BELOW
As above so below. So far we haven’t tried it but we could attempt an experiment in improving lifestyle pertaining to infrastructure which may uplift attention to humanity that may incidentally address the insanity that is expressed in the violence and aggression on our streets. Not only is gun safety an issue that needs attention, but so is vehicular safety. One notion sees the promotion of both guns and vehicles by commercial interests as filling a deficiency in the characters of some people who have not received the validation that could otherwise do so by society based upon principles of humanity rather than hierarchy.
UNBALANCED NATION
Patriarchal hierarchical Establishment conveniently turns to mental health as an excuse for the anomaly of gun violence in the USA without explaining the reason the suggested presumption thereby, that young men are mentally unhealthy but young women enjoy superior mental health. This isn’t the case, but patriarchy doesn’t benefit from speaking to the obvious.
