Imagination…..the true home of reality.   As quoted by Tobias Churton. In other words, departures from reality as suggested by Establishment may too often be another style of indoctrination.  To build a reality it first may need to be imagined.

Here’s a reality from which hierarchical Establishment say we shouldn’t depart.  —  https://www.mississippifreepress.org/27465/in-depth-how-brett-favre-secured-6-million-in-welfare-funds-for-a-volleyball-stadium   –“Multiple prosecutors” are still examining the facts and making decisions about criminal charges in Mississippi’s sprawling welfare scandal that saw millions in funds meant for poor families go instead to wealthy celebrities, Mississippi State Auditor Shad White said on Thursday, Sept. 15.

The auditor made that remark on CNN after court documents filed on Monday, Sept. 12, revealed dozens of text messages showing how retired-NFL star Brett Favre, former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant and nonprofit leader Nancy New coordinated on procuring welfare funds to finance an $8-million volleyball stadium.–end of mississippipress info—

https://wnbf.com/binghamton-johnson-city-sewage-plant-lawsuit-settlement/     —A settlement has been reached to resolve long-running litigation stemming from a catastrophic wall collapse at the Binghamton-Johnson City Joint Sewage Treatment Plant.

The proposed $30 million deal between the municipal owners of the facility in Vestal and companies involved in a construction project at the plant was first reported by WSKG.

A concrete wall on the west side of the massive treatment facility collapsed on May 16, 2011. Binghamton and Johnson City officials decided to go to court

Meanwhile in the Northeast, lest we feel morally superior, similar ineptitude seems to happen.  https://spectrumlocalnews.com/news/2017/02/22/binghamton-ballpark-gets–2-5-million-upgrades- –“I was confident from the very beginning that baseball would stay in the city of Binghamton,” Mayor Rich David said, “and once we had a new owner who shared that vision, it’s really about how we work together to accomplish our common goals.”

The bulk of the funding was secured from the state. Senator Fred Akshar hopes the new investments will turn the team’s poor attendance around in 2017.

“We want to attract and retain young people in our community, families in our community, and we have to provide them with opportunities. Baseball is a staple of American life, and these upgrades are going to be great,” Akshar said.–end of spectrum info–

A question that seems relevant but has yet to be addressed is the reason a baseball stadium has received so much TLC from local bureaucrats and politicians while volunteer fire departments and EMT go begging.  That the TLC is hoped to enhance attendance indicates a sports stadium may never have been high in interest to the locals.  So who was instrumental in instigating this project, and to what end?  Taxpayer funds were used to some extent to fund the stadium.  If asked, would attention to local volunteer fire departments have been more important?

This is a reason for granular consideration when choosing the representative for whom to vote.

She advances to the Nov. 8 general election where she will face Republican Richard David, the former two-term mayor of Binghamton, who did not face a primary challenge.

One believes in FACT, both the Democrats and Republicans have worked together to keep of the ballot, 3rd-Party candidates who have the imagination to build a reality worth living, and unafraid to state the same.

Howie Hawkins hosts a call in that is typically quite fascinating and that bring out imaginative ideas to challenge and Establishment-indoctrinated reality.

An example of a hierarchical-Establishment so-called reality is the requirement for the Trump tariff placed upon products manufactured in foreign nations after hierarchical Establishment sent US manufacturing overseas.  This Trump tariff, under these conditions in which products cannot be made in the USA, seems to be a direct tax on low-income families that was instituted at the same time as was the Trump tax cut to the wealthy.  And this is reality from which the public is admonished not to depart.  I think we need to imagine a different reality.

C-Span hosted a call in discussion about confidence in the US electoral process.  As important should be the campaign process, which seems to have become a free-for-all.  The words of James Carville echo through years from a time he stated that elections need to be free and fair but anything goes during campaigns.  Really?  I don’t think so.  I think integrity should be supported throughout governmental action.  Perhaps we should discuss this.

https://consortiumnews.com/2022/09/22/scott-ritter-reaping-the-whirlwind/        –History, however, is a harsh mistress, where facts become inconvenient to perception. When viewed through the prism of historical fact, the narrative being promulgated by Biden becomes flipped. The reality is that since the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, the U.S. and its European allies have been conspiring to subjugate Russia in an effort to ensure that the Russian people are never again able to mount a geopolitical challenge to an American hegemony defined by a “rules based international order” that had been foisted on the world in the aftermath of the Second World War.

Because everyone aggrieved is not able to speak up for themselves, it is important that those with the ability for whatever reason, do so.https://mailchi.mp/nader/practice-the-one-percent-movements-people-rwx2wgsvcr?e=cfd1bea9b5   —     

What are some reasons for a sedentary citizenship in a country? Remember our Constitution starts and ends with “We the People,” not “We the Corporations.” You, the readers, know all the ways powerful forces keep people down, feeling powerless and distracted with 24/7 so-called entertainment, plus everything in between. Many aggrieved people have a hard time just getting through the day.

I wrote a small book, Breaking Through Power: It’s Easier Than We Think, to explain how optimistic critical masses throughout American history worked together to improve our society.  I described the kinds of changes that one percent of the people could advance to revolutionize politics for the common good and “the pursuit of happiness.”—-end of nader info–

****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!
