LIES OF A NATION
The diversity of targets of types of fraud and predatory practice in the USA reveals less about individual offenses than an overall system of corruption. Please note the youth who are seriously engaged in raising voice that hearkens back to similar involvement in the ’60’s.
Some people see as the best hope for the survival of humanity and protection of our Earth is a system as straight forward and sane as doing the right thing.https://www.onondaganation.org/uncategorized/2022/land_back_1023_acres/ –The public will also benefit from the responsibility-focused stewardship practices of the Onondaga Nation. Numerous scientific studies have established that Indigenous land management practices protect biodiversity and healthy forests, preserve clean soils and waters, and better prepare communities for climate resiliency and adaptation. Across the planet, there is a significant overlap between “biodiversity hot spots” and Indigenous-held lands with Indigenous peoples caring for 80% of the world’s biodiversity on less than half the land area. Indigenous-managed forests have higher levels of understory plants, more natives and fewer invasive species, and more mature forest characteristics than comparable forests managed by non-Native public agencies. Considering this successful global record of conservation, restoring Onondaga-led decisions supports the DEC’s conservation mission.

https://popularresistance.org/lausd-high-school-valedictorian-rips-into-the-erosion-of-public-education-in-graduation-speech-sparking-mass-support/ –Social media posts have been flooded with statements of support for Axel and the content of his remarks, showcasing the overall discontent among students, teachers and parents to not only LAUSD but the present dire state of K-12 public education.
During the speech, the school administration cut Axel’s mic. Immediately the crowd chanted, “Let him speak! Let him speak!” Axel waited on stage, took the microphone off the stand and moved away from the administrator who had come onto the stage. Fearing the opposition brewing in the crowd, the sound to Brito’s mic was switched back on, allowing him to finish.–end of popularresistance info–

https://popularresistance.org/the-disappearance-of-meghan-marohn/ –Over a quarter of a million girls and women go missing in the U.S. every year. Male-perpetrated violence, especially domestic violence, is intimately linked to missing girls and women. The FBI reports more than 80 percent of violent crimes are committed by men. That is 99.1 percent of rapes committed by men and 88.7 percent of murders and manslaughters committed by men.

Economist Michael Hudson explains the inflation crisis and the U.S. Federal Reserve’s “austerity program to reduce wages.” Western so-called economics experts are openly calling to boost unemployment.–end of mronline info–
The players in the Democratic/Republican duopoly enact laws. Laws are passed to suppress 3rd political parties in debate, reporting, and from electoral ballots. Due to Citizens United which is a Supreme Court ruling that legalizes without legitimizing money in elections which is corruption, politicians are purchased by big-money interests. The US military is used less for defense of the USA than about “protecting American interests overseas”, which interests are of bit-money, and supports imperialism. These feel like principles of fascism.
The appearance of choice in elections is the red herring of the R&D duopoly which FACTually support the same system of capitalism that is distinctly uncomfortable with a system of democracy.
A concern is an electorate so deeply indoctrinated into a Democratic/Republican duopoly snare as to appear incapable of independent evaluation and thought.

#GreenSocialist Notes, Episode 79 with Special Guest Blaizen Bloom
On the topic of inflation and this inscrutable problem our government seems incapable of tackling, how about simply removing the Trump tariff that is enforced against consumers on the products that due to globalism are predominantly produced in foreign nations to be shipped to the USA. Tariffs were once used to encourage consumers to buy US-manufactured goods at a time when free trade logically implied that exports were more healthy for the nation than imports. We don’t hear about our import/export ratio anymore; nor does the government care about diminish US-worker wages or the strained supply line. A tariff under these conditions seem to be nothing but a tax on consumers, as the tariff goes to the US government and consumers are unable to choose US-manufactured products because there are ostensibly none to be had.
****As one who would be perfectly contented to retain the Senate if they adhered to Oaths of Office more than to Citizens United campaign donations, one is interested in a topic raised as to the reason we maintain the US Senate—-
This is a reminder of how much we don’t know. This brings one around to Howie Hawkins, who continues to impress with original thought. We also could acknowledge Hawkins often speaks to censored information.
One such topic about which one would never have even considered, is whether the USA needs The Senate. Apparently The Senate is little other than expensive window dressing, promoting hierarchical interests, and too often placed in positions of power by big-money via Citizens United. But the public gets to fund this curiosity of pompous supremacy. Who knew?
The Democratic Branch of the Republican/Democratic Duopoly are especially functional in voter suppression—–https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbdkuU1edw —#GreenSocialist Notes #76
Howie Hawkins brings up the concept of whether the USA needs the Senate. Apparently according to some people, the Senate isn’t necessary. This brings up the blockage from the Senate of many bills that would benefit We The People. Combined with Citizens United that promotes big-money interest choice of Senators, in which laws are passed that benefit big-money interest rather than We The People, and that We The People support economically, the members of the Senate, this seems a good topic for discussion.
The US Constitution doesn’t seem to sanction elections run by political Parties, and to permit control of political debates by political Parties seems equally corrupt.

Centralization is the lifeblood of the R&D duopoly. It’s the way to enforce capitalism onto workers in 2022.
