HONOR YOUR VOICE

Posted by: admin | on October 18, 2020

In the Southern Tier of NYS, where local citizens are involved in politics, as suggested by principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic, the view of both of capitalistic-leaning politicians and the public are discussed.

Full disclosure requires one’s bias against risk exposure to quality of life for local community members in order to support economic viability for a municipality. Especially consider that effort of local politicians to imagine and pursue safe and ubiquitous economic ideas should be the burden of those asking for election to public office—

In fact, any timidity if it exists may be based upon the corporate-trained conditioning of people in the Southern Tier, where indeed IBM was responsible for a culture of compliance to capitalistic hierarchy. The Southern Tier isn’t known for its wild-eyed extremists. That the Southern Tier, a decade ago, became ground zero for the anti-fracking advocacy, and along with the history of IBM having pulled out of this area leaving inordinate pollution as their legacy, the local-citizen somnolence pertaining to human, civil, and environmental rights seemed lifting. Exposure to derision is a price a citizen pays for involvement. If any pro-incinerator advocates are reticent to speak out, that seems to be a personal issue. It should not be therefore placed upon the shoulders of anti-incinerator advocates to be blamed for the timidity of any pro-capitalistic citizens. Here’s a news flash….it isn’t easy for anyone to speak truth to power.
In NYS, the possibility appears that domestic violence may be acknowledged. The citizen involvement in NYS is commendable. For example in Endicott, NY, citizen-supported information about political candidates is helpful—-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm76r3yklGA–Burlingame & Dorner explain why they oppose the SungEel Incinerator in Endicott NY.

Wind project criticism ‘never heard’

The application for the tax deal culminates a more than five-year-long process to win approval for the controversial project.Sanford residents mounted a vigorous fight to derail the installation, saying the 60-story-high towers are incompatible with the rural, forested environment. Wildlife experts said turning turbine blades represent a hazard to migrating and resident bald and golden eagles.New York utility regulators turned aside objections, approving the project last December even as the two local representatives on the Public Service Commission Sighting Board criticized the initiative.Bill Mirch, whose wife sat on the state’s siting board as an ad hoc member from Windsor, said her concerns about the project were dismissed by the chief of the Public Service Commission and other state agency heads.”In my view, her voice was never heard,” he said. “Not one peep.”Tax proposal: Wind farm in New York wants $21 million tax break for 2 permanent jobsProject approval: Over objections, eastern Broome wind farm gets green lightControversy brews: In upstate New York, wind farms are rising rapidly.

If politicians and commercial interests continue to impose offensive industrialization rather than imagine a better way, We The People should challenge their predatory behavior that seems more for convenience and profit than quality of life—–https://www.nbcnews.com/video/the-newest-wind-turbine-looks-like-a-tree-378050627890—–A French startup called NewWind has developed a new kind of wind turbine: it looks like a tree and needs less wind than a traditional turbine to to create power.
That politicians acquiesce to the least viable economic option for their local region begs the question of the reason. Campaign funding seems to be a reason, by which politicians beg middlemen for attention, when said politician can forego the middleman funding, and go straight to the action of good governance by which action citizens would e motivated to cast a vote, rather than to depend on corporate-sponsored ads to attract votes. This would imply politicians would spend less time dialing-for-dollars, and invest more time in good governance.

It is easy to project ideas of prosperity from the top of the Pyramid Scheme that is capitalism, while ignoring reality of those at the base, without whom hierarchy would fail—–https://wildhunt.org/2020/10/opinion-love-light-and-spiritual-bypassing.html?utm_source=Wild+Hunt+Subscribers&utm_campaign=23f3846b7d-DAILY_RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_684818cea6-23f3846b7d-238028410–Only by facing the darkness within ourselves, and channeling it into goal-oriented actions, can we ever hope to heal what ails our collective heart.Sometimes, we need our anger, and our pain, and even our fear to help expose the hypocrisy and even the abuse that causes so much pain and suffering. It’s not easy, or fun, and it’s certainly not painless, but it is work that desperately needs to be done.-end of wildhunt info–
For those who don’t recall the ’60’s and ’70’s, corruption is nothing new and it can be challenged by people who work from their heart for the greater good. Amy Coney-Barrett is personally viewed as an enabler for Establishment—https://portside.org/2020-10-17/amy-barrett-and-corporate-crusade-control-supreme-court–A corporate lawyer for Big Tobacco — Lewis Powell — had an answer. In a memo, he implored the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the corporations and ideologues in its ranks to organize a new campaign to influence government in corporations’ favor. In particular, Powell wanted corporate interests to focus on the judiciary.The courts, he said, are possibly “the most important instrument for social, economic, and political change” in American government. Weeks after Powell wrote that memo, President Richard Nixon appointed him to the Supreme Court as Justice Powell.

One compares Bernie Sanders favorably pertaining to intellect, wisdom, and courage, as matched to the clown-car of Democratic Establishment Presidential candidates by whom his ideas were disrespected due to self-interest and campaign funding from big-money interests. That Sanders was capable of standing in support of We The People against the cabal of capitalistic politicians makes one grateful. And as Sanders said, not me, us….and so we carry on—https://socialistproject.ca/pamphlets/the-sanders-moment-and-after/–Bernie Sanders’ campaigns were seen as an apparent breakthrough for the left, allowing the widespread delegitimation of neoliberal ideology to be expressed within the parameters of the party system. Their failure compels socialists to return to difficult organizational and strategic questions – and the answers are as uncertain as ever. As contemporary analyses of this period, these essays both shed light on the forces that led to the present conjuncture, and illustrate the political and organizational challenges that are relevant in the post-Sanders moment.

And many of the most non-Establishment voters are in the Green Party.
**************************************As a Green Party registered voter routinely, one re-registers every 4 years into the Democratic Party to be able to cast a vote in the Democratic Primary for Bernie Sanders. One is positive one is not alone in doing so.Lost in the fog of political corruption over several decades, is the fact that the Presidential debates were once in the capable hands of the League of Women Voters—-https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-refuses-help-perpetrate-fraud—-Most objectionable to the League, Neuman said, were conditions in the agreement that gave the campaigns unprecedented control over the proceedings. Neuman called “outrageous” the campaigns’ demands that they control the selection of questioners, the composition of the audience, hall access for the press and other issues.”The campaigns’ agreement is a closed-door masterpiece,” Neuman said. “Never in the history of the League of Women Voters have two candidates’ organizations come to us with such stringent, unyielding and self-serving demands.”Neuman said she and the League regretted that the American people have had no real opportunities to judge the presidential nominees outside of campaign-controlled environments.—-end of lwv info—In other words, (paraphrase) patriarchy says, “we’ll handle it from here, little ladies”—https://straty.com/controlling-outcomes-controlling-table-stakes/—After studying the election process in 1985, the bipartisan National Commission on Elections recommended “turning over the sponsorship of Presidential debates to the two major parties”. The CPD was established in 1987 by the chairmen of the Democratic and Republican Parties to “take control of the Presidential debates”. The commission was staffed by members from the two parties and chaired by the heads of the Democratic and Republican parties… (wikipedia)
—end of straty info—https://www.debates.org/—The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 to ensure, for the benefit of the American electorate, that general election debates between or among the leading candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States are a permanent part of the electoral process. CPD’s primary purpose is to sponsor and produce the quadrennial general election debates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates. The organization, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) corporation, sponsored all of the presidential debates in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016
—end of debates info—The Commission on Presidential Debates, replacing the League of Women Voters, controls who can debate and on which topics. They call this educating the public, others may see this as brainwashing. The CPD would profit by hearing from We The People, as to concerns about censorship. The censorship seems to have become so blatant, that petitions to the CPD have reached into the hundreds of thousands.

This means We The People have nothing to say in our own governance.Consider the large number of voters who do not embrace the policies of either of the Democratic Establishment or Republican Establishment, and the fact that the Democratic Establishment and Republican Establishment have swindled the American electorate out of unbiased information directly from possible Presidential choices; often outside of the Capitalist Party D&R. Since these disgusting events in the ’80’s, state-run/corporate-owned MSM has consistently indoctrinated We The People into accepting the falsehood that “we are a 2-Party system”. This has had the effect of rending illegitimate, the deeply legitimate tradition of free, clean, and fair elections.
In other words, politicians are now choosing their voters, rather than voters choosing their politicians.
Acting on the human frailty of ignorance combined with arrogance, and using as an example the Democratic Establishment, one recognizes what is called a Democratic Base that believes in their right to dictate to others, their voting choices. —–https://www.haudenosauneeconfederacy.com/influence-on-democracy/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pIDtvTydkU&t=638s
