Having listened to those who explain that Ukrainian local community members want the war, one must question whether that is FACTual.  Local community Ukrainians may simply be caught between warring oligarchs, considering this seems always the case in war.  —

Her recent brief but powerful speech (with transcript) given to the European parliament on 15 March is worth listening to and is presented below.

‘Ukraine is burning through a generation of men’ – MEP Clare Daly- speech from 15 Mar 2023 – YouTube

“Listening to the cheerleading in here, safe and secure thousands of miles away from the frontlines, I think it would be a useful exercise for us to remind ourselves about what ordinary Ukrainians are experiencing.

C-Span hosted a discussion about the public educational system and its many anomalies in 2023.  As one who was shocked and disturbed in 1970 when decisions began to be made to permit commercial enterprises into public schools because as was ‘splained “it will profit for commerce and public schools”, it seems to have gone downhill from there.  Predatory behavior toward children seems to have increased.   Educational curriculum can be a tool for indoctrination.  It seems that intellectually honest education would adhere to reading, science, math, grammar, etc.  Surely music and art seems logical as part of a curriculum. In other words, teaching the tools for children to embark on their own life-discovery journey.   One supports teaching how to think rather than what to think.  This decidedly includes history aside from Establishment-sanctioned views.  Many callers to C-Span touched upon what seems to be a curriculum referring to gender to children who are pre-puberty.  Can a child at this stage even understand?  Should parents have input into this curious topic?

Why aren’t we comfortable with natural children meandering through life-journey pathways of being that may cross lines without a ripple of concern from said child, if only stereotypes weren’t artificially imposed from outside.  Puberty happens soon enough and then it is clear to the individual.    And on the topic of estrogen and testosterone, we might better investigate the impact of both when maturity happens.  We could recognize and tone down the female enabling propensities while doing the same with the aggressive aspects of testosterone.  No need to change either, to just recognize where some of the……I won’t say BS…..let’s say inanity, originates.  This could temper both enabling and aggression if recognized as anomalies.

We could also recognize the ecstasy after menopause when the pesky hormones settle down and sets one free.  Instead women at that natural stage, are sometimes treated contemptibly as being “beyond their prime”.  

We need to enjoy our hormones, rather than struggling against them.  The same enjoyment should be proffered upon children during their time pre-puberty.  By the way I’m not a parent, but I am a human being who has gone through the stages commensurate with my gender.  Deep respect for each stage results.

One also notices the most enduring education has not been institutional.

Not just because of bullying (although that is significant for many), and not just because of the academic requirements. Many children struggle with school because of the other expectations. Being with people, all day long, with no space to unwind. The constant noise, and the way the toilets smell. The lack of choice, the requirement to comply with adult demands, and the chaotic nature of the playground. Many children find these things difficult, but for some they are intolerable.o go against the grain and take your child out of school. But, for some, that’s when learning really start

Rumors of war are a patriarchal tool for deflection, and it profits well.  Too busy with the important matters of Establishment to worry about nature and Climate Change.

Establishment bears watching, some people believe.  —  https://www.commondreams.org/news/revolving-door-project-hack-watch     –Taking aim at “conflicts of interest and flat-out falsehoods in economics reporting and the so-called experts who perpetuate them,” the Revolving Door Project on Wednesday launched a new website, Hack Watch, to name and shame Wall Street-friendly experts pushing often harmful neoliberal financial theories as absolute truths.

The same neoliberal centrists who’ve guided economic policy since the 1990’s are still the talking heads who most of the mainstream media turn to for explanations of economic phenomena. They’re still serving up the same ideas they had 30 years ago…the ideas that led us into our current polycrisis.

–end of hackwatch info–

Neo-liberal economics may include the transfer of the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%, in one person’s institutionalized-educational perspective.  In other words it’s hidden in plain sight…..forest for the trees…..brainwashing….call it what you will.

****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!
