American small business have been harmed in our capitalistic system that functions like a Pyramid Scheme while “government is run like a business”.

https://mailchi.mp/1438083acc50/wjypmchggt-458677?e=fa2c3ddca6   —A Groundbreaking Speech on Antitrust Enforcement: At an event hosted by ILSR and Open Markets Institute last month, Alvaro Bedoya, the newest commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission, made a powerful case for a “return to fairness” in antitrust. “Five times in 60 years,” he explained, “Congress passed antitrust laws that in letter or spirit demanded fairness for small business.” Yet since the 1970s, antitrust enforcement has instead focused on “efficiency”—with dire consequences for independent businesses and the communities they serve.

The premise of “running government like a business” seems to describe fascism if not organized crime.  Acceptance of the words by the public with insufficient perception of the meaning thereof is a curious anomaly from sanity.

Some statements from some politicians seem more nearly to be stand-up comedy routines than dignified statesmanship.  Shortly after 10:00AM today, a politician Gallagher–R–Wisconsin, began ‘splaining with the insinuation in support of military action as the best path to peace, including an inculcation that as yet “everything other than war has been tried and failed” (paraphrase).  

Meanwhile, connecting the dots of the capitalistic undermining of American small business, mention should be made of recent efforts by American politicians D&R who have outsourced US jobs and manufacturing to foreign nations, which feels like a national security risk.  This advances the excuse to use imperialism and US military action while simultaneously throwing Americans into poverty and obeisance to foreign nations.  

FACTually speaking, peace would best be secured when the USA is self-sustaining, renewable, and not obligated to foreign nations’ better nature.  

One’s interest in comparative religion pre-dates one’s concern over American politics, and has grown with the inculcation by the D&R duopoly of Christianity into politics.  Listening to the tossed salad of words by Gallagher–R—Wisconsin about “we’ve tried everything to advance peace, not let’s try war” (which itself seems to be a lie), brings to mind recent thoughts while reading The Gospel of John by William Barclay..  This seems to be an institutionalized religious view.  One must assume the “gospel” is translated from Aramaic, although that’s just a guess.  But William Barclay openly alludes to the writing by John who was a disciple of Christ, that was transformed from language of Christ which (he suggests) would have been immersed in Jewish culture about which Gentiles would be incomprehensible, into Greek in language flowery and seductive (my interpretation) to Gentiles.  And even within this additional word salad, William Barclay translates for the reader, the Greek word used by John, into English which, by the way, could have definitions 1, 2, & 3, as explained by William Barclay.

This verifies what one has always thought about the “gospels”.  And so Jesus has been “lost in the sauce”, to borrow a phrase coined by Howie Hawkins.

Religion is a personal matter, and we can all understand it as we wish.

The same, one suggests, is not true about war.  We don’t get peace by waging war.

From www.hawkinsmattera.org           —     Despite efforts by the New York State Democratic Party and their functionaries to silence us, we have broken through to the media with this campaign’s message of Inclusive Democracy, a Green New Deal, and an Economic Bill of Rights. We ask that you share this important news coverage to your community, families and allies:

• Capital Tonight Video: Green Party wages daunting write-in campaign to win back ballot access in New York
  
• Albany Times Union Op-Ed: Kathy Hochul, Lee Zeldin and nobody else
  
  “Walk into any supermarket and you’ll find a variety of breakfast cereals to match nearly any taste. Shop online and you can select, say, shoes to meet your idiosyncratic preferences.
  
  This is what we’ve come to expect in this age of choice. Almost everywhere there are alternatives to the same-old boring whatever. Nearly everywhere, we have options to satisfy every niche, variety that feels infinite and empowering.
  
  Everywhere, except at the ballot box…”
  
• The New York Times: For First Time Since 1946, New Yorkers Have Just 2 Choices for Governor
  
  “…this year, for the first time in over 75 years, the state ballot appears destined to offer only two choices: Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, and Representative Lee Zeldin, a Republican.
  
  The paucity of options is largely due to former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who championed changes in election law two years ago that made it far more difficult for third parties to get on the ballot. The changes to ballot access law tripled the number of voter signatures required for groups to get on the November ballot and forced political parties to qualify every two years instead of four.”
  
• Focus on Albany Video: A conversation with Howie Hawkins about the campaign for Governor

The Times nails the issue: Cuomo, Hochul, and their Legislature Lackeys have brought democracy in New York to a 75-year low. And the bar was already disgracefully low.

But we can beat this and make our elections more fair and equitable than ever — with your help. We ask that you donate to this campaign today so we can continue fighting through Election Day.

And, speaking of Election Day, we ask that you take a moment to look at how you will need to write in our names for Governor and Lt. Governor, and to share this information with voters:

****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!
