The problem with lying is you need to remember those lies.  When you speak truth, it’s easier. The same crowd who lied us into attacking Iraq are now vociferous in promoting military action and economic sanctions against Russia. Does anyone see a pattern?

https://caitlinjohnstone.substack.com/p/on-bushs-freudian-confession?utm_source=email&s=r      — While criticizing Russia for having rigged elections and shutting out political opposition (which would already be hilarious coming from any American in general and Bush in particular), the 43rd president made the following comment :“The result is an absence of checks and balances in Russia, and the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean, of Ukraine.”And then it got even better. After correcting himself with a nervous chuckle, Bush broke the tension in the empire-loyal crowd with the words, “Iraq too. Anyway.” He then quipped that he is 75 years old, leaning harder on his “Aw shucks gee willikers I’m such a goofball” persona than he ever has in his entire life.And Bush’s audience laughed. They thought it was great. A president who launched an illegal invasion that killed upwards of a million people (probably way upwards ) openly confessing to doing what every news outlet in the western world has spent the last three months shrieking its lungs out about Putin doing was hilarious to them.–end of caitlinjohnstone info–

This isn’t to suggest similar nepotism in the Trump Administration isn’t of interest.  The USA is currently, however, enthusiastically funding a “Russia/Ukraine military action”.  This seems to be one way to extract the wealth of the USA into the pockets of oligarchs.  —  https://www.aol.com/news/analysis-hunter-bidens-hard-drive-082903427.html     –From 2013 through 2018 Hunter Biden and his company brought in about $11 million via his roles as an attorney and a board member with a Ukrainian firm accused of bribery and his work with a Chinese businessman now accused of fraud, according to an NBC News analysis of a copy of Biden’s hard drive and iCloud account and documents released by Republicans on two Senate committees.Shaub had previously raised questions about Hunter Biden’s new line of work, selling his own paintings, which created the potential to purchase a painting to buy perceived influence, and also because the White House became involved in the transactions, arranging that none of the buyers’ names be known to Biden, the White House or the public.–end of aol info–
Admittedly selling paintings isn’t deadly toward foreign local community members, as transfer of wealth is considered.

Imagine the benefit to the environment that could challenge Climate Change, if past and current Administrations had worked toward the welfare of US local communities rather than “protecting American interests overseas”.  Our throw-away culture is good for corporations but not for people and the Earth.  One doesn’t imagine answers for the threat of Climate Change other than reconsidering lifestyle.  It seems inane to pursue unlimited growth using finite resources.  This mindset is impoverishing families and destroys Mother Earth.  Some people are awakening——-https://www.treehugger.com/circular-future-fund-winners-5272280?utm_campaign=treehugger&utm_medium=email&utm_source=cn_nl&utm_content=27762232&utm_term=     —

Capitalism thrives on centralization and monopolies but hurts people and environment.  Supply chains are a problem under globalism.  Local-community economic sustainability seems more likely with local-economic values.  This would also preclude interference into the local communities overseas as oligarchs attempt to inflict “Western values” at the end of a gun barrel.   https://ilsr.org/report-why-the-21st-century-antitrust-act-is-critical-for-new-york-small-businesses/             –Small businesses are the lifeblood of the New York economy and its communities. These enterprises — making up nearly all firms incorporated in the state and employing half of its workforce[1] — help foster economic resilience at every scale, from walkable, vibrant neighborhoods to healthy industries. New York’s small businesses create jobs and apply upward pressure on wages, build a healthy tax base, and circulate the wealth they generate within their communities — both urban and rural alike. They offer a clear pathway to the middle class, especially for immigrants and entrepreneurs of color.[2] They help drive innovation and offer distinct benefits to their customers, including competitive products, services, and prices. Small businesses are essential for New York’s economic equality, vitality, and well-being.–end of ilsr info–
Local-community economic sustainability would offer opportunities to young people who would look forward to a respectable place in society, offering goods and services needed, at a living wage, and with the dignity of the entrepreneurial spirit.

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!
