One wonders how many people see nature as sacred, and have been indoctrinated into silence by Establishment.—-

Hundreds of Indigenous sacred sites across the country — places of Indigenous foods, medicines, ceremony, burial sites, and creation stories — have been threatened and desecrated by the climate crisis and by harmful development projects like pipelines, mining activities, and resource extraction.

All without the consent of Tribal communities who have traditional and spiritual connections to the land — and in violation of federal treaties.–end of nativesacredspaces info and PETITION—–

A reason history in FACT is important is explained in the phrase that those who ignore history repeat history.  Consider 3 examples—-

Example 1–https://history.hanover.edu/texts/mm.html  –Burr’s note: [Page 10]Even when armed with the papal bull, the German Inquisitors found their preparation incomplete. Soon after their return from Rome they set themselves at the compilation of a hand-book which should leave no judge an excuse for laxity on exposition of witchcraft and a code of procedure for the detection and pun-ishment of witches. This, completed in 1486, they called Malleus Maleficarum, “The Witch~Hammer.” As a specimen may serve a part of its [sic]. [Page 11] Directions for the Torture of a Witch. Malleus Maleficarum, pars iii, quaestio 14. Latin. Editions are many. :

Example 2–http://ili.nativeweb.org/sdrm_art.html                     –When Christopher Columbus first set foot on the white sands of Guanahani island, he performed a ceremony to “take possession” of the land for the king and queen of Spain, acting under the international laws of Western Christendom. Although the story of Columbus’ “discovery” has taken on mythological proportions in most of the Western world, few people are aware that his act of “possession” was based on a religious doctrine now known in history as the Doctrine of Discovery. Even fewer people realize that today – five centuries later – the United States government still uses this archaic Judeo-Christian doctrine to deny the rights of Native American Indians.–end of nativeweb info--(https://twitter.com/AmericanIndian8/status/1591185246669737984      –The language they were forbidden to speak saved the United States

–end of tweet—-)

Example 3–https://www.cathar.info/cathar_inquisition.htm    –The Inquisition set up in the Languedoc was not the first Inquisition set up by the Roman Church.   Bishops’ Inquisitions had existed for centuries, but being local, never had the impact of later Papal Inquisitions.   The Inquisition which is the subject of this page was the Medieval Inquisition, established informally by Dominican under Pope Innocent III in the early thirteenth century and formalised by later popes.

A reason one continues to speak of Establishment patriarchy and use of women as the problem is that this stance assumes that women’s rights are not human rights, which seems to be a perspective of misogyny.  Established institutionalized religion has been used to reinforce and ‘splain this odd view, that then is expanded to other people who don’t comply with……one won’t say white supremacy……let’s call it patriarchal Establishment for the sake of conversation.  At the bottom, it is about money and power, and Citizens United seems to be the tipping point back toward Medieval darkness.

If there was any wave, it was a blue one, victorious for direct democracy ballot measures raising the minimum wage in Nebraska, Nevada and Washington, DC. Even in GOP-ruled South Dakota, voters overwhelmingly approved Medicaid expansion via a constitutional amendment.

Speaking again about the Fox talking head who suggested unmarried women voted for Democrats, perhaps so did young men along with young women.  One is thrilled to see a new generation of citizens involved in our democracy.  This will strengthen our Constitutional republic with Representatives of The People who genuinely do so.

Honor veterans and military personnel by peace  — https://www.veteransforpeace.org/take-action/armistice-day?emci=9ef0650f-0a61-ed11-ade6-14cb6534a651&emdi=ecfe83cf-e361-ed11-ade6-14cb651ee1db&ceid=10527506               –Over one hundred years ago the world celebrated peace as a universal principle. The first World War had just ended and nations mourning their dead collectively called for an end to all wars.  Armistice Day was born and was designated as “a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be thereafter celebrated.”

After World War II, the U.S. Congress decided to rebrand November 11 as Veterans Day. Honoring the warrior quickly morphed into honoring the military and glorifying war.

A caller ‘spalined that Germany and Russia invaded together, Poland in 1939.  As many people understand WWII, Germany and Russia were directly opposite each other as enemies, with Russia fighting alongside the USA and UK.  George Beebe let this view stand, which feels like an abject rewriting of history that seems to be the foreign policy for the USA.

Read your history again to remember that Russia fought against Nazi Germany in WWII, and lost more souls than most other nations combined.

****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!
