DEFINE AMERICAN INTERESTS
First define American interests. So far, oligarchs seem to have defined American interests for a silenced American public.
These are American interests—–https://ndncollective.org/newsletters/march-2022-newsletter/?link_id=2&can_id=193d62b237484a25dee2367907a4dd04&source=email-in-the-spirit-of-indigenous-matriarchs-march-newsletter&email_referrer=email_1474436&email_subject=in-the-spirit-of-indigenous-matriarchs-march-newsletter —Read NDN Collective’s Position Paper, Demilitarization is Decolonization:

https://twitter.com/GeorgeMonbiot/status/1502174010632671232 –1. One of the big lies used to impede our transition to a low-carbon economy is that householders couldn’t afford the renovations. But there’s no reason why they should carry this cost. Let me introduce you to the Italian Superbonus scheme. It’s astonishing. Thread/–end of twitter info—https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/italy-will-act-fix-superbonus-refurbishment-scheme-2022-02-17/#:~:text=Under%20a%20scheme%20introduced%20in,and%20replacing%20old%2Dfashioned%20boilers. –ROME, Feb 17 (Reuters) – Italy’s government will bring forward urgent measures to remedy problems with subsidies offered for energy efficiency and anti-earthquake work on buildings, Industry Minister Giancarlo Giorgetti said on Thursday.Under a scheme introduced in 2020 the Italian government pays 110% of the cost of work on green measures such as insulation, solar panels and replacing old-fashioned boilers.The scheme has proved hugely popular but concerns over potential fraud have seen a brake put on the distribution of funds, hurting the building trade, and raising concerns about the impact on banks that have lent money for such projects.–end of reuters info–
The USA is sending large amount of funding to Ukraine. Meanwhile, absolutely nothing of Biden’s campaign promises have been fulfilled. American-public interests are a joke. The American public seems to function as fodder for the oligarchical machine.
As in Italy, refurbishing of American residents could be completed easily to challenge Climate Change, with the funding sent overseas over decades. Corruption in the system would as usual be of concern. But if our police force was used to maintain integrity in commercial and political activities, it should be easy to handle. Instead the police force and quite notably local Sheriffs, especially in the Southern Tier of NYS, would prefer to “crack-down” on “activists”.
The voices of pro-fossil fuel and The Military Industrial Complex is rising. Consider the reality of the following 2 links—-

***From brownedu—https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/costs/human/civilians/iraqi –No one knows with certainty how many people have been killed and wounded in Iraq since the 2003 United States invasion. However, we know that between 184,382 and 207,156 civilians have died from direct war related violence caused by the U.S., its allies, the Iraqi military and police, and opposition forces from the time of the invasion through October 2019. The violent deaths of Iraqi civilians have occurred through aerial bombing, shelling, gunshots, suicide attacks, and fires started by bombing. Many civilians have also been injured.–end of brownedu info–
Machismo may be a reason for expanding pro-war voices that are so often delivered to the American public as “protecting American interests overseas” …AKA interests of American oligarchs, and in FACT oligarchs worldwide. It is the local communities that are harmed to protect said interests.
In Solidarity with diverse voices that should be heard over hierarchical Establishment indoctrination—-https://events.cornell.edu/event/reuven_abergel_lecture?mc_cid=6c2e5f10b5&mc_eid=825724e81a –In his lecture, Abergel will discuss the oppression of Jews from Arab and Muslim countries in Israel, and on the Mizrahi struggle. He will do so by referring to a new translation of one of the most innovative and important documents produced by the Israeli Black Panthers: “The Israeli Black Panthers’ Haggadah.” Written in 1971 by Abergel and a few other Black Panthers, the Black Panther Haggadah uses the original Haggadah text (a text that is traditionally read by observant Jews during the Passover holiday and recounts the Exodus story, and the Israelites’ struggle to go from slavery to freedom) to express the radical message of the Black Panthers in Israel against the Israeli establishment’s racism and discrimination against Mizrahi Jews.–end of cornell info–

The economic sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies are causing widespread, severe hunger in this desperately poor country.

From popularresistance—-https://popularresistance.org/victoria-nuland-ukraine-has-biological-research-facilities-worried-russia-may-seize-them/ –Claims that Ukraine currently maintains dangerous biological weapons labs came from Russia as well as China. The Chinese Foreign Ministry this month claimed: “The US has 336 labs in 30 countries under its control, including 26 in Ukraine alone.” The Russian Foreign Ministry asserted that “Russia obtained documents proving that Ukrainian biological laboratories located near Russian borders worked on development of components of biological weapons.” Such assertions deserve the same level of skepticism as U.S. denials: namely, none of it should be believed to be true or false absent evidence. Yet U.S. fact-checkers dutifully and reflexively sided with the U.S. Government to declare such claims “disinformation” and to mock them as QAnon conspiracy theories.Unfortunately for this propaganda racket masquerading as neutral and high-minded fact-checking, the neocon official long in charge of U.S. policy in Ukraine testified on Monday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and strongly suggested that such claims are, at least in part, true. Yesterday afternoon, Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland appeared before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), hoping to debunk growing claims that there are chemical weapons labs in Ukraine, smugly asked Nuland: “Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?”Rubio undoubtedly expected a flat denial by Nuland, thus providing further “proof” that such speculation is dastardly Fake News emanating from the Kremlin, the CCP and QAnon. Instead, Nuland did something completely uncharacteristic for her, for neocons, and for senior U.S. foreign policy officials: for some reason, she told a version of the truth. Her answer visibly stunned Rubio, who — as soon as he realized the damage she was doing to the U.S. messaging campaign by telling the truth — interrupted her and demanded that she instead affirm that if a biological attack were to occur, everyone should be “100% sure” that it was Russia who did it. Grateful for the life raft, Nuland told–end of popularresistance info–
One would put the Monroe Doctrine on the side of American interests defined by oligarchs—–https://mronline.org/2022/03/10/the-u-s-uses-double-standards-in-international-affairs-sanders/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-u-s-uses-double-standards-in-international-affairs-sanders&mc_cid=7469a44081&mc_eid=2833cdb99b –On Thursday, Senator Bernie Sanders argued that the United States behaves hypocritically when it does not accept Russia’s need to control the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) towards its borders.“For the last 200 years, the American foreign policy operated under the Monroe Doctrine, which gave the country the right to intervene in any nation that might threaten its alleged interests,” Sanders recalled–end of mronline info—————–As one who voted for Bernie Sanders and then Howie Hawkins for President, one regrets the Americans who voted into office against their interests, where we could otherwise have a President protecting American interests defined as We The People, rather than Ukrainians. One wishes the best for Europe, but am more interested in the health and welfare of Americans. I do not wish to watch Americans back-burnered any longer.
I trust the intellectual honesty of Medea Benjamin as much as that of anyone—https://www.nationofchange.org/2022/03/10/how-the-u-s-has-empowered-and-armed-neo-nazis-in-ukraine/ –The reality behind the propaganda is that the West and its Ukrainian allies have opportunistically exploited and empowered the extreme right in Ukraine, first to pull off the 2014 coup, and then by redirecting it to fight separatists in Eastern Ukraine. And far from “denazifying” Ukraine, the Russian invasion is likely to further empower Ukrainian and international neo-Nazis, as it attracts fighters from around the world and provides them with weapons, military training and the combat experience that many of them are hungry for.Ukraine’s neo-Nazi Svoboda Party and its founders Oleh Tyahnybok and Andriy Parubiy played leading roles in the U.S-backed coup in February 2014. Assistant Secretary Nuland and Ambassador Pyatt mentioned Tyahnybok as one of the leaders they were working with on their infamous leaked phone call before the coup, even as they tried to exclude him from an official position in the post-coup government.
–end of nofc info–Corporate-owned-state-run MSM talking heads have worried on-air about Nazis in the USA, but seem to deny the possibility in Ukraine. How does that make sense?
The Military-Industrial Complex has surely had a field day marking all over their presumed territory.
We need to hear from more peacenics, to use a Vietnam-era phrase.
