That women have been trained to suspect our own viability is the practice of patriarchy.  For instance, the demeaning way Trump speaks about women bolsters his personal ego at the cost of female vitality.  We find this attitude sometime violently so and sometime mired within religious restraint, from too many places in hierarchical Establishment.  Women can fill their requisite space as intended by the Creator without defining from others.

Religion too often has been abused into control of wild women.  —  https://wildhunt.org/2023/05/religious-freedom-commission-releases-2023-report-of-worsening-world.html — Iranian authorities’ systematic use of sexual and gender-based violence against them represents a purposeful weaponization of religious conceptions of purity, modesty, and gender hierarchy in an effort to shame Iranians out of peacefully asserting their fundamental right to religious freedom.”

To listen to Trump seems a reminder that in the USA, disparaging attitude toward women is a familiar pattern of Supremacy that is too often accepted as somehow legitimate.  It is not.  The behavior of a man is his own responsibility and isn’t the mirror of another.

They want the university to function as a breeding ground for creation of a docile, technically skilled workforce that they can control, and as a laboratory for the development of new weapons systems and testing ground for those weapons that can help them dominate the world.

Some people wouldn’t call the highly processed edibles as food.  The less processed the more nourishing, in the view of some people.  Speaking of liberty, the ability to grow one’s own food seems fundamental.  This raises the expression heard on MSM on the topic of minority communities doing so, as curious, that this “reminds of slavery”.  And with one stroke, liberty is removed from the mindset of those so referenced.  Hmmm…..

This is a reminder that government bears watching—

There was absolutely no truth to the claims, but the disinformation campaign was effective. The Ford administration’s use of the Welch murder to discredit the Church Committee was a model of propaganda and disinformation; an internal CIA history later praised the “skillful steps” that the agency and the White House “took to exploit the Welch murder to U.S. intelligence benefit.”—end of theintercept info–

One warns Americans to be aware of any information from RT because Russia is our enemy.  At the same time when wide swaths of MSM censor relevant information, to research said info found on RT seems sensible.  C-Span aired the GOP news conference about investigation into the Biden family.  Oddly the GOP is less concerned with the Trump family organization as it impacts the US government and the interests of We The People.  And so to string together news from diverse origins seems wise, in order for the informed practitioner of democracy to get the fairest view of what’s going on.https://www.rt.com/news/576101-fbi-republicans-biden-bribery/    –Last week, citing information received from a whistleblower, US House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Kentucky) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) requested that the FBI produce unclassified records detailing a potential “criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.”

The integrity of Mr. Comer and Mr. Grassley in protection of American governance is tempered by ignoring corruption from their own practitioners.  So goes the ping-pong game of the R&D duopoly.****

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!
