Today C-Span at around 2:30PM, is airing a Congressional Q&A on the topic of US Drone Strikes.  This is an eyeopener on a topic about which most people have a passing awareness and little more.  Transparency is stressed by such groups as the ACLU, and defended against by some politicians.  That drones are used by one nation against the citizens of another seems to be beyond the pale.

Judging by the authoritarian approach toward the US public by our governing characters, this shouldn’t be a surprise.  But even before such human rights violations as has become commonplace in 2022, what has been done to wildlife and nature should have forewarned people of pending dictatorship on a global scale.

As one who is aware that principles of science and ideas of spirituality meet, and has been so identified by ancient spiritual practice thousands of years ago, and specifically as found in Buddhism, our current violent and aggressive use of nature and humanity, is questionable.

In the past, others have also been aware of harm caused by behavior that seems too inhumane and inhuman.  Perhaps that is a reason hierarchical Establishment via MSM has inculcated a disdain for considering actual history.

Here are a few thoughts about water.https://psyche.co/ideas/what-does-water-want-most-humans-seem-to-have-forgotten?utm_source=Aeon+Newsletter&utm_campaign=2789347d4a-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2022_11_21_05_39&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_-2789347d4a-%5BLIST_EMAIL_ID%5D      —

The scale of our efforts to control water is vast. But control is illusory. Water does what it wants, as we are seeing increasingly often, as people around the world grapple with severe floods and droughts.

Many industrialised societies prioritise human need and, in so doing, cast water as a commodity or threat, leading to single-minded problem-solving. But this ‘us first’ mentality isn’t doing humans any favours. Our domineering approach to water ignores the ways that hydrological systems interact with rocks, soil, plants, microbes and animals – including us. Disturbing these systems causes myriad unintended consequences.–end of aeon info–

Coincidentally it was only this morning that I read about Rudolf Steiner and water.  —  https://www.edinburghsteinerschool.org.uk/news/fllow-form/

The poor quality of water and its limited supply and availability is one of the greatest challenges for our future. Presently, forty percent of the world’s population is unable to find adequate fresh water

https://www.biodynamics.com/steiner.html  –Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), founder of the biodynamic approach to agriculture, was a highly trained scientist and respected philosopher in his time, who later in his life came to prominence for his spiritual-scientific approach to knowledge called “anthroposophy.” Long before many of his contemporaries, Steiner came to the conclusion that western civilization would gradually bring destruction to itself and the earth if it did not begin to develop an objective understanding of the spiritual world and its interrelationship with the physical world. Steiner’s spiritual-scientific methods and insights have given birth to practical holistic innovations in many fields, including education, banking, medicine, psychology, the arts and, not least, agriculture.

In the early 1900s, a highly mechanistic view of nature was beginning to take hold in agriculture, which led to the development and use of synthetically produced fertilizers and pesticides. As they adopted these chemical inputs, farmers quickly began noticing declines in the health and fertility of their soil, plants, and animals. A number of farmers who were familiar with Steiner’s work to renew medicine, education, economics, and other aspects of society asked if he could provide some insights into how they could renew the health and vitality of their farms.

The name of Rudolf Steiner was found in the book Gnostic Philosophy.  This will take the dedicated reader through an absolutely idea-changing journey through thousands of years and right up to the present.  

Incidentally the book also mentioned who they called Prince Charles.  https://www.treehugger.com/king-charles-bans-foie-gras-6832601?hid=4246be665c7c525806e26d15079d974213d256e7&did=878127-20221125&utm_campaign=treehugger-daily_newsletter&utm_source=treehugger&utm_medium=email&utm_content=112522&cid=878127&mid=102859854135&lctg=196461004            —

The new King of England, Charles III, has announced that foie gras will not served in any royal residences. A letter sent to the PETA animal rights campaign group, dated November 10 and signed by Tony Johnstone-Burt, Master of the King’s Household, stated that “foie gras is not purchased by the Royal Household nor served in Royal Residences, and there are no plans for this policy to change.”–end of treehugger info–

When cruelty seems to be the point, we’ve gone too far.

Decolonizing Thanksgiving And Supporting Indigenous Peoples

The Struggle To Keep Water Services In The Public Is Only Just Beginning

In the Southern Tier of NYS we are having a bit of difficulty decolonizing Columbus Day, let alone Thanksgiving, bless our little hearts.

****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!
