The rhetoric from Establishment is often to pray for peace.  Would we be more in tune with reality to vote for peace?

Forever war can only continue with complicity.  And by the way, shouldn’t Congress approve wars?—-

30 Dems RETRACT Statement For Peace!

–end of leecamp info—–

The following 60’s anti-war reminder is timely because this week heard from a young local-news reporter, an innocent statement that hid a lie.  She mentioned that someone had “volunteered for the Vietnam War.  I’ve heard military personnel on MSM use the phrase volunteer, with pride at the large number of youngsters who signed up to go to Vietnam in the ’60’s.  This is a FACT that hides the TRUTH.  Youngsters out of high school were drafted o fight for capitalism in Vietnam in the ’60’s and this meant being drafted into the army where apparently was the highest risk.  The death rate in Vietnam was high.  If one “volunteered” one could choose the marines, air force, or navy which were also risky, but slightly less so than the army.  The 2022 youngster reporting FACTS rather than TRUTH isn’t indicative of a Free Press, or for that matter an informed education.

https://www.movementandthemadman.com/     —The MOVEMENT and the “MADMAN” shows how two antiwar protests  in the fall of 1969 — the largest the country had ever seen — caused President Nixon to cancel what he called his “madman” plans for a massive escalation of the U.S. war in Vietnam, including his threats to use nuclear weapons.

No one in their right mind would not agree that war is a patriarchal construct that is a fundamental threat to the safety of children and women.  Because war is profitable it is  beneficial to patriarchy to maintain an undercurrent of subservience from those who are not a part of patriarchy.  To that end patriarchy is about this business of repression.

This is an apt moment to mention that Herschel Walker warns patriarchy that if they come after me, they’ll come after you (paraphrase).  This feels like a referral to the following—

https://shenandoahliterary.org/blog/2017/08/first-they-came-by-martin-niemoller/   —

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—

Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

 — Martin Niemöller

Several thoughts—–

*Of interest is mention of socialists being targeted first….hmmm…..

*Walker is sounding resoundingly like a victim

*And why are the mean women (good place to use the “b” word, patriarchy) picking on Herschel Walker and the Republicans?

*What have the Republicans and HW done to women?

*Oh, wait, you mean the human rights violations against women when patriarchy demands rights over women

*It’s almost like the war mongers understand the advantage of control over half the population who is harmed in patriarchy, including advantages of  predatory economies and war

One is aware of those who hold in their hands women’s human rights are those officiating within a war machine.  Vote accordingly.

Portside offers perspective on the Proxy War with Russia at the same time any underlying rationale is ignored, as pertains to US-public interests.  One cares nothing about the personality failings of Putin.  One recognizes the destruction of war.  

Has the public been deluded into believing what is good for patriarchy which includes a rigged economy and imperialism, is also good for local-community members?

The results have been disastrous—and in some cases, helped lead to the most recent crisis. While these partnerships differ from privatization because the city still owns the utilities, they are a harbinger of what privatization could entail.

Water is a topic of concern across the nation.  https://wnbf.com/binghamton-johnson-city-sewage-plant-lawsuit-settlement/        

Some people have spoken of priority placed on a growth too defined in terms of greed, privilege, and politics rather than on the health of local community interest.

Infinite growth using finite resources seems harmful.

Native Americans And White Farmers Form An Unlikely Alliance–Farmers have long supported oil pipelines, Fischbach told NBC News, because “we all need fuel and gas to run. But now they’re realizing that maybe, maybe the Native Americans weren’t all wrong.

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!
