Hierarchical capitalistic Establishment has espoused the concept that capitalism is democracy and that the foundation of this system is fair-market principle. And so Establishment has implemented a system of surveillance of “consumers” to ensure control of actions of citizens to the whims of marketing. Corporations and big-money interests seem to have a questionable access to the privacy of We The People. Therefore it feels only fair that the public, in self defense, be aware of and consider the motivation and profiteering by such entities.
Fair markets require transparency. Not only should the seller know the buyer, the buyer should know the seller. In that spirit, we should be informed.

On Friday the Atlanta Police Foundation began clear-cutting a section of the Weelaunee Forest as they attempt to push forward the Cop City project. We cannot let this destruction continue. Organizers on the ground in Atlanta are asking people to urgently mobilize solidarity demos, actions, and rallies for next week. Any size demonstration, rally, flyering event, or action has an impact.

An offshoot of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment profiteering is surely waste that is presumed to be the liability of the public, for some unexplored reason.
https://popularresistance.org/water-defenders-protect-guatemalan-lake-from-mountains-of-garbage/ –Residents have gathered each month to clean up the shores and waters of the lake since 2009 following the outbreak of cyanobacteria. This critical work has fallen on locals and community associations because the Guatemalan government has shown little interest in cleaning the lake.

Aside from the religious fervor among portions of the US society, FACTually the bosses are corporate business. One has watched people acting toward business entities as though they are the controlling entity. They aren’t, of course, but presumption to the contrary is enough to give control into the lives of We The People. A good start is to inform oneself about the character and process of corporate idols, that may have feet of clay.
Organized crime has their enforcers. Capitalistic hierarchical Establishment has its AI. — https://wildhunt.org/2023/04/what-does-ai-think-of-us.html —
The internet has been all abuzz over artificial intelligence (AI) creations like ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence chatbot. For the uninitiated – or those who wisely avoided the tech hype of the last few months – ChatGPT was created by OpenAI, an American artificial intelligence research laboratory. The software was launched in November 2022 and uses a type of pre-trained software that tunes itself using human feedback. Users essentially up or downvote responses, thereby optimizing the software’s ability to form interactive dialogue. The latest version of ChatGPT was released on March 14, 2023.–end of wildhunt info–
Capitalistic hierarchical Establishment also, so far, controls police to its own end.
One is happy to see light shined in the US corners of concern, before waging military-action promotion against foreign nations, for a change. —

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!
