What is the message that is sent either accidentally or intentionally sent by John Lennon as he mimics the stance of our Lady Liberty?  Can we manifest both liberty and peace?

From countercurrents       —  https://countercurrents.org/2022/04/forever-war-on-a-burning-earth/       –During the 20th and 21st centuries, with the rise of Fascism and climate change denial, many humans remained preoccupied by brutal wars and propagation of suicidal weapons, entertained by sport circuses, celebrity cults, frivolous showbiz, gratuitous hubris, homicide movies, canned laughter and the share market. While large parts of the planet were becoming uninhabitable, billionaire cowboys kept throwing $billions into space. Small pockets of humanity survived in remote regions of the planet among the wretched of the Earth, strafed by drones by the forces of empires.–end of countercurrents info–
The USA has legalized money in politics which exposes if not invites the system to corruption.  A C-Span caller on 4/5 suggested that Biden may be exposed to blackmail due to family-member accusations pertaining to the Ukraine.  Blackmail and the extraordinary role of money in politics comes to mind in so many instances in which the public is asked to accept policy that is contrary to the national security interests of the USA from bureaucrats and politicians who may or may not be compromised.  When motivation of the CDC is called into question by reasonable people, should explanations from sources touched by the possibility of blackmail about the Ukraine/Russia War be naively accepted?

FACTually speaking we have diseasecare rather than healthcare.  The profit is from disease rather than from maintaining the best possibility for good health.  Millions of American voters supported Bernie Sanders and his ideas for Medicare-For-All.  Little is heard lately from Jim Clyburn, high-level medical-industry campaign recipient, who stepped in to assure millions of American-voter voices were silenced in compliance with a pay-to-play diseasecare system.  The 2020 Democratic-Party campaign strategy of racism was the smokescreen to avoid policy discussion about our complicated and expensive, not to mention exploiting system of managing disease rather than upholding good health to the extent possible.
As Obama and Biden grandstanded on the topic of ACA, one missed a character instrumental in maintaining this system who is Jim Clyburn.  In FACT since his Supreme Court choice Childs didn’t get the Presidential nod, one has heard little from him.  And so Biden’s pre-election promises to do as he was told seem to diminish.

Question politicians supporting armed conflict in foreign nations while demanding expansion of fossil fuel use.  This oxymoronic approach feels purely political and self-serving.

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!
