Most of their apparent bulk actually consists of dense layers of feathers — a necessity in the frigid environments they inhabit. A large appearance can also fool potential predators, making them think twice before attacking.

Views from Indigenous communities that include Native Americans and Natural Way proponents buoys hope that humanity and nature can remain connected as seems to be intended from The Creator in whatever way one sees He/She/Cause-and-Effect.  Contributions from Native Americans haven’t flagged over so many years of repression.

It opens with effusive praise for Biden’s interventionism in Ukraine and condemns the Russian government unequivocally throughout, offering only the humble suggestion that he “pair the military and economic support the United States has provided to Ukraine with a proactive diplomatic push, redoubling efforts to seek a realistic framework for a ceasefire.” Its authors make it abundantly clear that they support making sure such diplomacy is agreeable to Ukraine at every step of the way.

C-Span hosted several relevant discussions today.  —  https://www.c-span.org/video/?523894-5/washington-journal-david-nir-david-beard-discuss-podcast-the-downballot   –OCTOBER 29, 2022  | PART OF WASHINGTON JOURNAL 10/29/2022

David Nir and David Beard on Their Podcast “The Downballot”

Daily Kos political director David Nir and Daily Kos Elections contributing editor David Beard discussed their podcast, “The Downballot.”–end of c-span info—–

9:25AM–caller–paraphrase–voters may not know the function of the office for which they vote into power a candidate.

This is a spectacularly important observation.  How would the public know functions of many offices for which they vote in an election?  Here’s a thought……local news media could present this information as news.  Currently in Upstate NY and around the local news reports in particular, the public is bombarded with paid political ads that frankly are an embarrassment to the public.  But they are possibly lucrative to the news media outlets.  FACTually, information isn’t involved.   Somewhere in one’s memory was the notion that airwaves needed to function to the benefit of the public.  This  is not currently the case and seems to be used as a vehicle for public indoctrination devoid of information relevant to governance that should be of, by and for The People.

And so elections currently feel like a formality preparatory to installation of a dictatorship.

C-Span hosted a call-in hour at 7:00AM on the topic of the Paul Pelosi attack.  The “where is Nancy” attack recalls the “where is Nancy” 1/6 insurrection.  Some MAGA callers spoke of the possibility that this Paul Pelosi attack was perpetrated by (in the words of many of these callers) an illegal Canadian who was homeless and possibly has mental incapacity.  This may or may not be FACTual, but what is the point as regards distinction by action from the 1/6 insurrectionists?  Callers, point well taken; take it to heart.

And back to evidence of intelligence.  Climate Change is probably the most immediate National Security risk faced by the USA    —     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4eA0zMPOgk                         –Streamed live 21 hours ago In this episode of Fire Drill Fridays, Jane Fonda is on the ground in Port Arthur, Texas, a frontline in the continued fight against environmental racism and the climate crisis. Jane and John Beard, Jr., Founder and CEO of Port Arthur Community Action Network, will get an on-the-ground look at oil wells, refineries, and petrochemical plants that are inundating the community with industrial pollution. They’ll discuss what’s at stake, and the continued legacy of strong resistance, including the current fight to stop new and expanding crude export infrastructure. It is critical that we support and fight alongside frontline communities like Port Arthur in our campaign for real climate justice, be sure to tune in to learn how.

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!
