Denial must be the official mindset to forget North America is colonized.  The result seems to have been destruction of nature and and acceptance of Climate Change.  The latest “breaking news”?  Little Rock, Arkansas.

Is a colonization mindset responsible for abuse of nature when occupation is the reality, rather than living on ancestral land?

Yesterday, the Vatican formally responded to centuries of Indigenous peoples’ demands to rescind the founding documents of colonization and slavery. Despite its age, the Doctrine of Discovery is not ancient history. It lives on in modern laws that continue to oppress Indigenous communities and culture, rape the natural world for the profit of the few, and fill the coffers of the Church.

That the Democratic Obama/Biden Administration seems to have set up the reasons for the Russian/Ukrainian military actions doesn’t diminish the role of the Trump Administration/family in questionable cronyism with Saudi Arabia  That neither Ukraine’s Zelensky or Saudi Arabia are friends of We The People flies in the face of the FACT that neither seems to be the Biden family or the Trump family friends of We The People.  In other words, world-wide oligarchs are exploiting humanity for profit, as they always have.

Mob Boss….oligarch…..tomato…..tomoto…..”Running government like a business” can be a definition of organized crime….

From portside–     https://portside.org/2023-03-31/act-mob-boss-be-indicted-one?utm_source=portside-general&utm_medium=email   –Comparisons of former President Donald Trump to a mob boss bubble up often: Trump runs his life and businesses like a mobster, per former Trump fixer and personal counsel Michael Cohen, who is on record saying that Trump “used mafia-type tactics to battle foes and advance his personal agenda.” Former Manhattan D.A.’s Office prosecutor Mark F. Pomerantz wrote in his recent book when referring to Trump: “In my career as a lawyer, I had encountered only one other person who touched all of these bases: John Gotti, the head of the Gambino organized crime family.”

The question is even more complex because it is almost impossible to point to a single factor, party, or personality that is leading these decentralized protests. And while there is no lack of funds behind them — whether through crowdfunding or donations — it is not money that has motivated hundreds of thousands to take to the streets so spontaneously because they believe that they are doing the right thing.

It would seem the worldwide public, many of which are protesting vehemently against their own oligarchs, are on to something that Americans take meekly as our due, which is oligarchy or meritocracy.  It is an embarrassment that US leaders use the smokescreen of ‘spreading democracy” to wage oligarchy against local communities  The so-called foreign aid given to the governments that their own people recognize as corrupt, can be imagined as money laundering by US oligarchs.

Humanity can break free from the worldwide oligarchy and return to local-community values.  Good news from movementrights.org     —  https://www.movementrights.org/   —

water has a memory

From MRonline —(Mass murder inflicted openly can be defended by saying “accidents will happen”)  The only way this can be acceptable is byway of wholesale denial.  For those who have become desensitized due to White Supremacist education, if the pain of the Ponca’s doesn’t resonate, this morning, 4/1/2023, consider Little Rock, Arkansas and the tornado, if Rolling Fork, Mississippi isn’t enough.

We in the USA are graced with the example of Native Americans whose spirit we haven’t been able to annihilate.  May we never do so.

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!
