WHY CARE ABOUT NEWS?
Media reports to the public what media wants the public to believe. Does anyone still believe the USA enjoys a Free Press rather than a corporate-owned-state-influenced media? Combine this view with hierarchical capitalism in which Speech is confused with money, Add on the unusual approach to democracy defined as “running government like a business” that feels similar to organized crime on a continuum of which end the USA may be approaching, and questions may come to mind.
https://popularresistance.org/meet-the-ex-cia-agents-deciding-facebooks-content-policy/ —MintPress has found former representatives of the U.S. national security state in virtually every politically sensitive department at Facebook.
There is also considerable overlap with the U.S. government in the company’s front facing staff.
45 years ago, legendary journalist Carl Bernstein released an investigation documenting how the CIA had managed to infiltrate U.S. and global media. The CIA had placed hundreds of agents into newsrooms and had convinced hundreds more reporters to collaborate with them—end of popularresistance info–
One question that may come to mind is how this is different from the State-run news from The Former USSR.

*C-Span–9:40AM–caller–(paraphrase)–How can white supremacy be charged in the January 6th dust-up when a leader of the Proud Boys is Cuban.
Great question. Knowing nothing about the Proud Boys, one has an interest in Cuba. Here’s one’s view—-
*Capitalist USA business had infiltrated Cuba pre-revolution, in particular in the business of gambling
*Some Cubans profited greatly from this hierarchical capitalistic system
*Most Cubans didn’t benefit from said crime and money
*Castro’s Cuban Revolution is labeled as communistic takeover by capitalists
*US capitalists and their Cuban hierarchy fled to the US mainland
*The USA is infamous for embracing capitalists
*In Cuba, although the carrying of guns in public is probably frowned upon by government, some of the public have benefited from the recompense of universal health care and a higher literacy rate than in the USA, and also a cleaner environment
*Possibly that a leader of the Proud Boys is a hero in white supremacy that is increasing in the USA, suggest that white supremacy is indeed a state of mind
*Another peculiarity of white supremacy is the ease by which its principles are used ubiquitously by hierarchy to achieve the end of patriarchy—-https://moguldom.com/298458/cornel-west-takes-off-on-jim-clyburn-for-being-owned-and-pimped-by-big-pharma-industry/

From MRonline — https://mronline.org/2022/07/13/from-junk-economics-to-a-false-view-of-history/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=from-junk-economics-to-a-false-view-of-history&mc_cid=4ab44183b2&mc_eid=2833cdb99b –All ancient societies had a mistrust of wealth, above all monetary and financial wealth in creditor hands, because it generally tended to be accumulated at the expense of society at large. Anthropologists have found this to be a characteristic of low-income societies in general.
Wherever money is involved, fraud is omnipresent.
That’s what happens in unregulated markets–as we can see from today’s bank frauds, tax evasion and crime that pays very, very well. Without a strong government to protect society against fraud, lawbreaking, the use of force and exploitation, societies will polarize and become poorer. For obvious reasons the beneficiaries of these grabs seek to weaken regulatory power and the ability to prevent such grabitization.–end of mronline info–
Consider that indoctrination has made acceptable the nonsense of progress defined in terms of infinite growth using finite resources as being anything other than inane.
We may wish to consider the bait-and-switch by the Democratic/Republican duopoly, using said campaign strategy ploy, of deflection. One possible deflection is use of white supremacy that pits race against race, and misogyny that has recently done the same. One has over decades warned sufficiently, modern-day young ladies that rights to their own body weren’t ensured (ERA hasn’t even been written into law), so one won’t bore others with one’s position on Choice. One will ask others to consider the bait-and-switch from the R&D duopoly played against the electorate.

****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.
