CENTRALIZED HAUTEUR

C-Span would be of service to offer ideas about a peace budget. We don’t have one at this time.  We do however have a very expensive Pentagon budget that seems a prerequisite to maintain business as usual.

GDAMS 2022 Appeal · Give Peace a Budget 

This year, the world reaped the horrors of its investments in tools of war.  The violence being perpetrated on people around the world at the hands of militarized states has had devastating impacts on humanity and the environment.–end of demilitarize info–

Jonathan Haidt on the Impact of Social Media

New York University Stern School of Business social psychologist Jonathan Haidt talked about his piece in The Atlantic looking at the impact of social media.—end c-span info–
9:40AM–paraphrase–guest–peers and social media are more influential to youngsters than parents.  (This is a warning about the harm that can be done to young people who over-use social media, and about which one agrees)
But on the topic of influence of parents, several thoughts—*Parents may never be aware of the overriding influence young people feel from their parents*When parents are actively involved in the lives of their children this is a good reality and when parents lack the maturity or interest for parenting this is negative*Even interested parents may be so overburdened with keeping together the entirety of responsibilities including family economics as to be unable to do the best they otherwise could*Insinuation by Establishment sycophants who pose as experts may usurp the natural autonomy that belongs to parents*On top of other burdens of modern-day life, to be made to feel incompetent by self-labeled experts diminishes natural parental confidence*With these possibilities of modern-day parenting, it is sometime easier to permit media to step into the place of parents
C-Span discussed taxes this morning.  7:00AM–caller—paraphrase–Drill baby drill across the land would lessen the inflationary prices of fuel and forestall “buying oil from our enemies”
Several thoughts about globalism–*Pretense that drill-baby-drill to address “buying from our enemies”, forgives the same on topics of American shortages and inflation about other products, including but not limited to ….almost everything…..but frighteningly vehicle parts, medication, computer chips and many other necessary items to maintain a technological imposition upon citizens by commercial interests*Along with product shortages, globalism has been legislated by politicians resulting in jobs moving out of the USA*Speaking of experts and media, drill-baby-drill was a bureaucratic phrase used in the Southern Tier of NYS as self-defined experts collaborated into so-called news conferences to sell fracking to the public, which were more nearly sales seminars devoid of SEC compliance than they were news reports*Media influence isn’t just for youngsters and not only from social sources.  *Corporate-owned-government-influenced MSM posing as journalism vies with the social media of teens to engage mindset
Environmental-safety advocates have kept the threat of Climate Change in the forefront as capitalistic hierarchical Establishment deflect by ongoing so-called news about war, famine, and devastation; much of which coincides with Climate Change politics.  Exploitation of both human resources (people) and natural resources (environment) for profiteering may lead to Climate Change.https://www.facebook.com/tracy.carluccio/posts/5052595731489973            –Dear NJ Allies, Thanks to everyone who’s marched, rallied, signed petitions, called their elected officials and spoken up at public meetings over the past year to stop the PVSC fracked gas power plant!

Centralization has been cause for concern by some citizens of the USA.  A form of centralization could be defined in some parts of the USA as gentrification.  Benefits are suggested of rising property values and introduction of a better class of people; which can translate into Establishment-friendly neighborhoods.  Draw back include dislocation of traditional neighborhoods who in their own right have veracity to a greater extent than they have respect.  This can be seen as hierarchical hauteur that may or may not be desirable.
The same may be unfolding around the globe.

As MSM report about ongoing worries of cyber attack during the Ukraine-Russia War, a case can be made that centralization is a national security risk.  De-fanging of cyber threat happens when an energy grid is local rather than centralized.  Have we created the conditions from which fear is generated?  Who does this benefit?
Fear is a tool of centralization and one dares say of patriarchy.  Gentrification can happen in many ways.  https://aeon.co/essays/why-are-women-philosophers-often-erased-from-collective-memory               –Many names that have faded from history were women’s. That’s no coincidence. Women aren’t just missing. They have been made absent, as the historian David Noble argued in A World Without Women (1992). The overwhelming absence of women in intellectual history is constructed. And we won’t prevent the fading of women from future history simply with an occasional reminder about the existence of a few remarkable individuals throughout the ages. What really causes our collective forgetting is the stepwise removal of their names from ongoing conversation.–end of aeon info–In a broader context, silencing of other than hierarchical voices seems a form of gentrification that is easily accomplished under the explanation of ideas from “experts” that can be a quasi-innocent appellation applied to patriarchal views.
One uses the concept of patriarchy in conjunction with Establishment hierarchy, and most certainly not in terms of gender.  —  https://psyche.co/ideas/what-aboriginal-people-know-about-the-pathways-of-knowledge?utm_source=Aeon+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&&utm_campaign=launchnlbanner          –But as this modernisation narrative hits the wall that is planetary finitude and environmental emergencies, new pathways are opening up for Indigenous knowledge transfer. It seems that looking after Country is a good idea that is leaping from one Indigenous community to another across the globe, and convincing a lot of erstwhile modernisers in the process. Westerners are realising that their knowledge, too, was once situated, and not always relevant. It was good for living in one place, while living off another. Let me explain. When multinational corporations arrive in that frontier country of Australia’s North-West to drill for gas and oil, they claim what they are doing is ‘good for the country’. But they don’t mean the local territory, they mean something more abstract, such as Australia and its GDP – or, more specifically, their shareholders, whose lives might be marginally improved as they live in cities or on yachts in the Caribbean. That is the difference between living in one place while living off another. This is why Latour argues that we have to come ‘down to Earth’, a sustainable territorialism that Indigenous peoples are now making some progress in getting the moderns to understand.–end of psyche info–
Centralization of desire may be the foundation of advertising and the brainchild of middlemen—-https://aeon.co/videos/wry-animations-expose-the-gap-between-anxious-aspiration-and-real-life?utm_source=Aeon+Newsletter&utm_medium=email&&utm_campaign=launchnlbanner    –‘I work hard. I work very hard’: a female voice describes herself using language that seems to conform to societal expectations of what a modern person – and a modern woman especially – ought to be. As the narration unfolds without context, her words use stock phrases you might read on a resume or hear aloud as self-affirmations. –end of aeon info–

Fossil Fuels and Unanswered Questions”

7 pm CT USA, Wed, May 4, 2022

What does the Ukraine War tell us about the challenges of humanity’s
urgent need to reduce fossil fuel usage?  How does the war reflect
colonialism and racism?  How well is President Zelensky coping with
opposition political parties and the Azov Battalion?  Join us for a
discussion of Ukraine’s history, Joe Biden’s role in that history, the 2014
coup, the risk of nuclear weapons use and NATO’s actions, as well as
how the media affects our perceptions of the war.  What is the key for
bringing peace to Ukraine?–end of gatewaygreens info–
Democratic spokespeople on left-messaging MSM have been rather put out that the Republican branch of the duopoly announces it will not participate in the typical debate in the Debate Commission.  Please recall that the Debate Commission was organized by Republicans and Democrats to the exclusion of the many other political Parties in the USA, that was once hosted by the League of Women Voters.  This feels like censorship of other voices that are other then the D&R duopoly.  
The reason was that Independent Ross Perot was gathering support from too many voters in 1992, similar to the same happening in 2020 from Bernie Sanders.

Centralization is the lifeblood of the R&D duopoly.  It’s the way to enforce capitalism onto workers in 2022.
———————–We can do better———-

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!
Along with Climate Change, many people oppose the imperialism of the USA under control of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  Use of the wealth of our nation should be to enhance quality of life for We The People rather than for imperialism.  Some people vote accordingly.I———————–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.
