A point can be made that lawfare has been perfected against the US public over decades, as laws are passed that support transfer of the wealth of the nation from the 100% to the 1%. 

https://popularresistance.org/lawfare-a-weapon-of-war/        –In response to progressive politicians winning at the ballot box across Latin America, oligarchic elites have been forced to regroup and deploy new strategies to maintain their hold on power. In collusion with the US Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigations, a new form of hybrid war, Lawfare, is being unleashed across the Americas to destabilize and stop the wave of progressive governments.

“Lawfare achieves what political elites fail to achieve at the polls –  a monopoly on political power. Through a perversion of the judicial system, elites use the cover of judicial legitimacy to undertake what amounts to nothing less than a Lawfare coup d’etat, ” says Raul Burbano – Program Director at Common Frontiers.

“In accordance with the president’s plan, the transition to our national payment system is proceeding smoothly. We expect that very soon it will become widespread, including within state-owned enterprises,” CNBC Indonesia quoted Kartikoyono saying.

The official added that the country had made “a very timely” choice to initiate its own payment system. Kartikoyono thinks that Southeast Asian countries should move towards establishing “a safety cushion that will protect businesses and ordinary citizens” amid growing financial uncertainty in the West.

Record inflation in the West has pushed countries around the world to find alternatives to the U.S. dollar (USD) and its financial institutions.

Reports suggest that many foreign nations are beginning to extricate themselves from the terrorism of “Western values” pertaining to financial interests, to a extent that Americans have not as yet raised to the occasion of attempting.  Similar to the USA funding the foreign military actions of nations that provide 1-payer comprehensive public health care to their citizens, Americans continue to bear the brunt of the liability for the transfer of wealth from the 100% to the 1%.   —                https://popularresistance.org/escaping-debt-slavery-ethiopia-africa-and-the-imf/    –Concerning Washington’s claims of Ethiopian government atrocities, Washington is well aware that the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) tried to regain power militarily and failed. The TPLF has essentially been Washington’s proxy in the region.

This was a two-year war, and in war, unfortunately, atrocities are committed, but most of the documentation that I have seen places the atrocities on the TPLF side of the fence, and they have been, quite frankly, horrific.

The Republican/Democratic duopoly speak to everything other than changing the system that keeps duopoly hierarchy wealthy and in control.  We need public officials speaking to the well being of the public.–  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wjKbtP_enU               —

LIVE: Democratic Presidential Candidate Williamson Calls for Standing Against ‘Corporate Tyranny’

–end of mariannewilliamson info–

Questions arise as to how either of Marianne Williamson or Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. expect to gain a space on the Democratic ticket when capitalistic hierarchical Establishment have pre-ordained that they won’t.

James Carville said the quiet part out loud when he said (paraphrase) elections must be honest but anything goes in political campaigns.  No it doesn’t.  That’s corruption.  And we watch the Republican branch of he duopoly use the national debt as a campaign strategy while the Democratic branch of the duopoly has used abortion as a campaign strategy, which Democrats could easily have codified Roe v Wade.

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!
