On a MSM Team Red/Blue “show” last night, one heard a “reporter” announce that among “democracies”, the USA was a baby.  Not having verified but remembering info from years ago, it seems the USA has the oldest continuous government in the world.  This is to the benefit of the USA, if only politicians and bureaucrats could act accordingly.

The following tweet from Rema Loeb was coincidentally the same day one read from https://www.amazon.com/Gates-Europe-History-Ukraine/dp/0465094864#:~:text=Situated%20between%20Central%20Europe%2C%20Russia,Reich%20and%20the%20Soviet%20Union.https://www.facebook.com/rema.loeb/posts/pfbid02hfafVkzFePHZ2JDH7aUgB3C459FvK2W7nvY4AWTh1U4vU5Q5bHoQz5uMW1UNd5Z3l    —

Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine was shaped by the empires that used it as a strategic gateway between East and West—from the Roman and Ottoman empires to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. For centuries, Ukraine has been a meeting place of various cultures.

UNESCO highlighting importance of Indigenous languages in 10-year plan      —-end of amazone info—

Taken from The Gates of Europe, A History of Ukraine—From page 233—While Ukrainization was central to the indigenization policy in Ukraine, it did not involve only ethnic Ukrainians.  Russian, Jewish, Polish, and German ethnic regions were created in Ukraine with their own administrations.  Publishing houses printed books in national languages and school children were educated in the language of heir ethnic groups.  But the effects of this policy remained limited mainly to the countryside.  In the cities, ethnic minorities were being Russified even more quickly than Ukrainians.

A 10-year action plan by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) speaks to Rigney’s concerns and addresses the need to preserve and grow Indigenous languages internationally.

UNESCO has declared 2022-2032 a decade of Indigenous language and detailed its global action plan at an event last week in France.

Indigenization policy is an interesting concept and seemed to have been tackled post Russian Revolution.  Several thoughts on this—

*One has recently heard about Russian bureaucratic aggressive behavior toward “Siberian Indigenous” people

*This is FACTual, but feels like an implication that Russian bureaucrats are not Indigenous.  This is an American-chauvinism view.

*Most people involved in the Russian Revolution could be called Indigenous

*One has heard of the fear from “white people” in the USA, of slave revolts in that era

*The Russian Revolution was an ostensible slave revolt

*American Indigenous people were discouraged from retaining their culture and language in contrast to the described Indigenization policy post Russian Revolution

*Those revolted against were dictators running Russia for their personal benefit (known as Whites, coincidentally) in a highly hierarchical system that seems similar to capitalism

—end of thoughts about language ad Indiginization—

These distinctions should be understood as we condemn Russia for invading Ukraine.  Also, anyone seriously interested in FACTS could start by reading the history of Ukraine, that will clarify distinctions between reality and history in that region, and the broad-brush propaganda that demands the region accept “Western values”.

Perhaps an honest discussion could include thoughts from Native Americans, considering a few of the realities suggested above.

Relentless bait-and-switch feels to be the purview of MSM.  Some people choose to research FACTS.  —  https://mailchi.mp/67e818149bc3/green-party-of-st-louis-meeting-wed-april-19-2017-recent-and-future-elections-6221509?e=d624642c9f               —Emergency Solidarity Webinar:

Another type of bait-and-switch feels obvious from one who studied via industry educational courses sufficient to earn the designation CLU and ChFC, in the labeling of Social Security Earned Benefits as Social Security Entitlement contrary to years of industry education.  One is curious at the silence from fellow ChFC and CLU designation holders on this topic.  The courses were offered along with the less prestigious LUTC industry courses, all of which referred to Social Security Earned Benefits, not Entitlements.  The bait-and-switch for political expediency is an assault on American workers, in one person’s opinion.  Silence from Bryn Mawr is equally troubling.

On Dec. 30, Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation, earlier approved by the state Assembly and Senate, officially legalizing human composting and expanding the list of eco-friendly burial methods available to New Yorkers after death.

****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!
