Quite simply stated, Indigenous wisdom is veritable.  In a conversation presented in the organicconsumer link toward the end of this story, Russell Brand offers a conversation between a FOX talking head and a down-home farmer that’s for real.  To listen is time well invested.  Ultimately the message as stated by said farmer is “complex systems have too many unexpected consequences”……that’s right…..

One has heard comments about “white people” that suggest the misconception that “white people” aren’t Indigenous from somewhere.  A point can be made that “white people” were the original and most violently targeted group by institutionalized religion.  In FACT, signs of Indigenous “white people” customs remain even in the USA  and in 2022.  One suspects some Eastern European Americans retain memories of family forays into forests to gather bushels of mushrooms.

If you were to wander into a Lithuanian forest today, you might see people hunched over, looking closely at the ground, perhaps with baskets tied to their backs. They are treasure hunters, seeking the delicate and decadent mushrooms that sprout up at this time of year. —-end of treehugger info—

The consequences of making a wrong guess or a misidentification about whether a mushroom is edible can be severe. What’s even more challenging is that some edible and poisonous mushrooms look quite similar.–endof treehugger info–

Treehugger Tip

When searching for mushrooms in the wild, inexperienced foragers should search for mushrooms alongside an experienced and trusted mycologist.

To journey into Eastern European history untrammeled by hierarchical Establishment perspective will reveal interesting conflict between “Indigenous” and commercial ideas.

Institutionalization in government seems logical; trouble for humanity begins when government collaborates with religion or commerce.  https://countercurrents.org/2022/09/at-least-31-killed-as-anti-government-protests-spread-across-iran/?swcfpc=1  —

Norway-based, Iran Human Rights Organization says that they can confirm that at least 31 protesters have been killed in the on-going anti-government, anti-hijab protest across Iran. Iran’s state-run media acknowledged on Thursday that at least 17 people have been killed in anti-hijab protests which have spread across the country. The protests have spread to more than 80 cities and towns across Iran. In Tehran and some Kurdish cities, protesters torched police stations and vehicles on Thursday as public outrage over the death of Mahsa Amini showed no signs of easing, with reports of security forces coming under attack.

Presumption that corruption is the calling card for “white people” may be a hierarchical Establishment red herring.  –https://popularresistance.org/a-land-deal-benefiting-a-billionaires-soccer-team-is-muscled-through-despite-objections/        –Chicago, Illinois – Citing years of broken promises to build affordable homes, a Chicago City Council committee rejected a plan to lease public housing land to a professional soccer team owned by a billionaire ally of Mayor Lori Lightfoot.

That was on Tuesday. Less than a day later, allies of the mayor called a do-over and reversed the vote.

$11 Million Per Minute! —      Sep 22, 2022 The world’s governments subsidize the fossil fuel industry with a mind-blowing amount of money. Lee Camp reports on an IMF study from 2021 that found that Big Oil receives $11 million per minute in subsidies. In other words, we’re all paying for ExxonMobil, Shell, British Petroleum, and their peers to continue doing business by polluting the land, water and atmosphere.

C-Span hosted a call-in at 7:00AM on the topic of policing in the USA along with support for or de-funding of police. Who wouldn’t wish for local law enforcement that are serving and protecting? On the other hand few people wish for robo-cops on their corner.

Why do police arrest jay walkers but not white-collar criminals? Isn’t that rather obvious of a 2-tier justice system? The difference may be lack of arms in white-collar crime, except for availability to high-paid lawyers. Reports suggest the joke may be on high-paid lawyers, as one hears rumors that they also get filched by some white-collar criminals. Co-dependence isn’t just for substance abuse, one supposes.

****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.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQ7kn2-GEmM       —

Ross Perot in 1992 on NAFTA and the “Giant Sucking Sound”

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!
