Corporate-owned-state-run MSM has an easy job in broadcasting news when the public has the focus and memory capacity of a gnat.  A different view can be spewed each day with little to no comment from consumers.  

For those with a memory capacity, notice could occur that the military actions of Russia seem modeled by those of the USA.  Yet the public is shocked…..SHOCKED……at said actions—-https://portside.org/2022-03-24/have-we-forgottenafghanistan       –The US 20-year war and occupation in Afghanistan, waged to avenge the September 11 terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people, has taken the lives of more than 71,000 Afghani and Pakistani civilians.  A massive increase in civilian deaths ensued there in 2017 when the US military loosened its rules of war regarding airstrikes.  The country is left littered with unexploded ordnance, which kills and injures unknowing civilian adults and children as they move through their land.  The war also forced six million people to flee their homes, almost half as refugees to other countries.  –end of portside info–What else have we “forgotten”?–*Homelessness*A 1-payer comprehensive public health care policy*Climate Change*Democracy

Why are we arming Nazis?—https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/03/24/concerning-the-war-in-ukraine-no-love-for-putin-no-guns-for-nazis/    –While the U.S. and NATO would prefer to not talk about it, Ukraine in fact has a serious Nazi problem. In the aftermath of the U.S. supported Euromaidan uprising in 2014 (which fascist elements played a leading role in), the first post-revolution government was quick to install a number of Nazis and fascists to high office from the Svoboda & Right Sector parties including for the positions of Deputy Prime Minister (Oleksandr Sych – Svoboda), Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council (Andriy Parubiy – Svoboda), Deputy Secretary of National Security (Dmytro Yarosh – Right Sector), Minister of Ecology & Agricultural (Andriy Mokhnyk – Svoboda), Prosecutor General (Oleh Makhnitsky – Svoboda), and Minister of Internal Affairs (Arsen Avakov – not a member of a fascist party but a nationalist Nazi sympathizer who would go on to become the patron of Azov).Since 2014, under multiple Presidents (including Zelenskyy) Ukraine has not only armed the Azov Battalion but further funded their activities including the operation of Hitler Youth-like summer camps and “educational” programs in line with their Nazi ideology. Presently the Azov Battalion is actively recruiting Nazis, fascists, and white nationalists from Europe and North America to join their ranks in Ukraine as ideologically driven armed fighters.–end of counterpunch info–

https://www.counterpunch.org/2022/03/24/on-putin-the-ukraine-war-the-united-states-and-fascism/        –But you won’t hear the F-word (fascism) being used much in connection with Putin by US media. Bringing up fascism opens more than a few ugly cans of worms relevant to politics and policy in the United States itself, where one of the two major parties (the Republicans) has gone Amerikaner-fascist and other one (the “lying neoliberal [and] warmonger[ing]” Democratic Party) is its Weimar-like appeaser. It raises questions US authorities would prefer unasked in a time when late capitalism is giving rise to late fascism in the core-state West as well as in semi-peripheral nations like Russia, India, and Brazil. As a result, the dominant US “ideological state apparatuses” (Louis Althussar’s term) run with the ideologically vapid and neutral charges of “authoritarianism” and “totalitarianism” when it comes to Putin and his regime.And that does more ideological work for the American ruling class than just obscuring its own toleration and cultivation of fascism in the United States. It also helps the ruling class demonize those who oppose the United States’ savage regime of empire and inequality from the actual socialist and communist, revolutionary, simultaneously anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-imperialist Left. For, as the RCP leader Bob Avakian explains, “speaking of ‘authoritarianism,’ without reference to the actual ideology and political and social content of the ‘authoritarians,’ allows for the pretense that ‘extremists’ of the ‘right’ and the ‘left’ are essentially the same. Thus, with the label of ‘authoritarianism,’ communists can be thrown into the same camp of ‘very bad people’ with fascists—when, in reality, communists are the exact opposite of, and the force most fundamentally opposed to, fascism.”–end of counterpunch info–

Bound to happen.  Oligarchs are getting restless with each other——https://www.aol.com/news/donald-trump-sues-hillary-clinton-173916750-204215958.html      –The lawsuit covers a long list of grievances the Republican former president repeatedly aired during his four years in the White House after beating Clinton, and comes as he continues to falsely claim that his 2020 election defeat by Democratic President Joe Biden was the result of widespread fraud.–end of aol info—————————-They can only imagine how they are viewed by the public.

A point can be made that around the globe we are watching the head of oligarchical families with control over the military of nations, waging conflict against each other in an ultimate game of supremacy for the position at the top of the Pyramid Scheme.  The general public is pulled into the conflict, used as fodder, become collateral damage, and are expected to sacrifice for the cause in the name of patriotism.  Wasn’t this the presumption of monarchy in by-gone times?
The Founders, by the way, predicted exactly this and warned against becoming entangled in foreign dispute.
Twitter is precious—https://twitter.com/BlackKnight10k/status/1507207621811523584       –Where are all the racist white people when you need them to go after the black guy on the Supreme Court who tried to cover up his wife doing a coup? The one time y’all might actually be good for something, you’re nowhere to be found.–end of twitter info–This s–t storm has so many moving parts as to be mind-blowing—-*Joe Biden stood in defense of Clarence Thomas during confirmation hearings, as this patriarchal pair challenged Anita Hill as she exposed undesirable behavior from CT*”Where were the racist white people” at the time?  Many were women launching careers that were still challenged by patriarchy, and were equally silenced as the guys giggled over the proceedings, rendering difficult, attempts to build careers…..it was a different time….*The same women who watched Biden run his soft-misogyny over years, during the 2021 Presidential campaign, were silenced by a #metoo movement that defended Biden and cast doubt on an accuser*The irony that the same Biden who so badly used Anita Hill during the confirmation hearings for Clarence Thomas was under attack by the wife of Clarence Thomas is simply delightful*That neither of Biden or Trump would have won the Presidential election in 2021 seems FACTual, if Bernie Sanders voters hadn’t been censored out of the picture, seems highly possible*A great question could be “where are all the people who shoe-horned into public office Joe Biden” now that we have a pandemic and could better survive with a 1-payer comprehensive public health care policy?*And speaking of racist, where are all the loud mouths who came up with the “Karen” accusation when there was a tussle between 2 non-white kids, one a boy and the other a girl?  And apparently the girl held her own……

That “we are a 2-Party system” is a fabrication of the Republican/Democratic duopoly and spread by MSM.  In FACT the majority of voters aren’t either registered Democratic or Republican.  The censorship about this info must be envied by bureaucrats of the Former USSR and their simplistic style of 1-Party elections.  

Regardless of which character sits in the Oval Office, We The People have work to do to maintain principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic.  Several items to challenge—*We need the integrity of ranked-choice voting so voters won’t feel compelled to “hold your nose and vote”*Censored debates must be stopped.  The Democratic/Republican duopoly pretends to legitimate debates in what is nothing other than another campaign show.  Independent debates run by uninterested sponsors such as The League of Women Voters, must be restored.  (Access www.debates.org to understand the extent of duopoly control).  The so-called Debate Commission is a corporation to promote the Democratic corporation and Republican corporation, not to inform We The People*Challenge and stop gerrymandering that is a trick especially of the Republican branch of the duopoly.*Stop voter suppression by political Parties, and especially confront and stop Party suppression, which is the over-arching approach to voter suppression.  Party suppression seems to have been the responsibility of the Democratic corporation*Promote by law ranked-choice voting, so we won’t be told again, by D&R duopoly, to “hold your nose and vote”
If these issues are handled, our next elections can be honorable.

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
