What do we mean by national security and is the subject We The People?  When we consider government, does that mean of, by and for The People?  Is our government in 2021 about the public?

10:05AM–paraphrase–caller–Goods transported in from foreign nations need to be inspected but are not currently so handled.
This speaks to our unique position in 2021 where the US consumer is at the mercy of multi-national corporations when it comes to products we need.  The excuse for capitalism is that what we are experiencing in 2021 regarding goods and services, such as high prices and rationing, are the result of communism and would not happen under capitalism.  FACTually communism and capitalism are opposite sides of the same coin of greed and privilege.  The impact on real life from both systems seem similar.
Our national security is at risk when the public is exposed to inability to have access to free markets as we are experiencing currently.  Corruption in governance has exposed the public to monopoly conditions if not outright organized crime as we “run government like a business”.  
Trade agreements over decades and in particular TPP that includes language that permits violation of human rights and environmental rights for profit have been promoted by both branches of the Democratic/Republican duopoly.  Diabolically race has been insinuated as a reason to vote one way or the other, where no integrity actually exist from considering that criteria..
These FACTS carry national security implication.  While discussion veers toward concern that government interferes too much when said government seeks to protect We The People, nothing is mentioned about the overreach in regard to promoting our Pyramid-Scheme economy that transfers the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%.
As the USA squanders a fortune for The Military-Industrial Complex to protect American-oligarchical interests overseas while suggesting this is national security, the interests are ensuring control of American goods and services from overseas placing the US public at risk on a national security basis as is the case today.  This system is ensured by lawmakers who are placed into public office by the corruption of money in politics promoted by Citizens United.

LVC reminded the world that this philosophy of life must guide the principles of our shared living.–end of countercurrents info–

The above post comments on our government wishing to be informed of bank account activity of individuals over $600.   Bureaucrats and politicians are so-called cracking down on people while holding above the law, the hierarchy of capitalistic Establishment.  This feels like a dictatorship.  Meanwhile these same politicians and bureaucrats are taking their orders from capitalistic hierarchy.  We see this as regard, for example, a 1-payer comprehensive public health care policy that a majority of the public want.

How can doctors lead the fight against the increasing corporatization of medicine? How can we hold powerful organizations like the AMA accountable while also building our own independent physicians movement for reform?–end of pnhp info—
Law enforcement seems implicated, according to news reports, in the January 6 insurrection at the Capitol.  Armed force implies having crossed a line of civilization that seems intolerable.  But what are we to make of a judicial system that passes sentencing more severely against those who talk about force as compared to those who actually use force?–            https://theintercept.com/2021/10/16/daniel-baker-anarchist-capitol-riot/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter     —ON TUESDAY, a Florida judge sentenced Daniel Baker, an anti-fascist activist, to 44 months in federal prison for social media posts that called for armed defense against possible far-right attacks on the state’s Capitol in the wake of the January 6 riots. Baker, a 34-year-old yoga teacher and emergency medical technician trainee, had no previous criminal convictions and has already been held for 10 months of harsh pretrial detention, including seven months in solitary confinement. He never brought a weapon near a government building; he amassed no armed anti-fascist forces; he made no threats on a single individual.–end of theintercept info–
Law enforcement could be viewed as a particularly curious phenomenon in the USA.  We could discuss the role of law enforcement, especially considering our laws are passed by politicians who are bought into public office via Citizens United and in collusion with the Democratic/Republican duopoly.  Political parties have less standing in the US Constitution as pertains to the electoral process than does the electorate:  And we should act accordingly.
Is law enforcement becoming ever more eccentric?  While law enforcement is cracking down on the public, should the public question the role of said eccentricity?

Florida has a special style, perhaps due to proximity to Cuba.  The topic surely suggests discussion about how law enforcement in the USA should be used.  Is law enforcement still “serving and protecting” the public in a bottom up manner or do we want law enforcement to crack down on local communities to support laws passed by politicians who may be in office due to campaign contributions from big-money interests?
The public could hear an honest debate on this topic  of law enforcement if the Democratic/Republican duopoly didn’t censor out of Presidential debates, the views of 3rd-Party politicians.  An open debate would feel less dictatorial.

Is law enforcement enforcing the right or left, who are those lefts and rights, or is something else going on?

Why is public health a governmental concern?  It seems to suggest this in the Preamble—-We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.–end of Preamble to the US Constitution——-

A dangerous deviation away from principles of our democratic (small d) Constitutional republic has normalized the abnormality of capitalistic hierarchy and imperialism apparently due to greed and privilege.  If we continue a notion of progress in terms of greed, privilege, and inequality while also wringing our hands over the resultant Climate Crisis, inanity seems to be extant.        –https://socialistproject.ca/2021/10/climate-crisis-degrowth-global-green-new-deal-part1/#more             –In cooperation with Green Social Thought, Znet and Truthout, we present in three parts an exchange between Robert Pollin, C.J. Polychroniou, and Don Fitz. Part 1 is a discussion between Pollin and Polychroniou, the former being the progressive economist that is perhaps most central to strategies for a Green New Deal in the US, and the latter a leading journalist and researcher, both in the US and Greece, on the policy regimes of contemporary capitalism (fuller biographies below). Don Fitz is a university lecturer, and editor with Green Social Thought, and a past candidate for the US Green Party.–end of socialistproject info–
While watching the physical change in our world due to current notions of progress, one cannot help but also watch the accompanying decrease in well-being among people.  Progress as we know it is surely open to investigation and redefinition.
We need progress defined in terms of good health, peace, and equality.

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!
Along with Climate Change, many people oppose the imperialism of the USA under control of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  Use of the wealth of our nation should be to enhance quality of life for We The People rather than for imperialism.  Some people vote accordingly.I———————–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.
