NEED TO IMAGINE


Indoctrination may be called the short-circuiting of imagination by outside intrusion.

We need to remember indoctrination by capitalistic hierarchical Establishment means some people have difficulty envisioning a different path.  Other people have been persecuted for hundreds of years due to strength of character that has avoided such indoctrination that is typically softened using cash.  The Sacred cannot be bought and sold.  When it is, the implication is corruption.

Stephen Vladeck on the Supreme Court’s “Shadow Docket”

University of Texas law Professor Stephen Vladeck talked about his new book, The Shadow Docket, on the Supreme Court’s increasing use of emergency actions to change the law without public hearings–end of c-span info–

Dictatorship based upon oligarchy can be suggested considering the lack of concern about perception of self-interest, for example, on the Supreme Court, which notion was buoyed by a documentary aired recently.

https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/documentary/clarence-and-ginni-thomas/   —

As controversy erupts around Clarence and Ginni Thomas, FRONTLINE tells the inside story of their path to power. This investigation from veteran filmmaker Michael Kirk and his team traces how race, power and controversy collide in the rise of the Supreme Court justice and his wife and how the couple has reshaped American law and politics.

As a self-defined 70’s Feminist who is untroubled with the presumption from patriarchy, whether erroneous or not of militancy, which was required in the time and place, another story “swept under the rug” too often is that of the confirmation of Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court without sufficient consideration of possible misogyny as supported by witness by a quite believable person of Anita Hill.  Reportedly other women with similar stories and a desire to witness were ignored by patriarchy, including Joe Biden, presiding over the proceedings.  

Presumption of fairness isn’t always upheld in government as it pertains to the rights of women.

As one who supports the rights of the people in Ukraine, one also questions the ‘splanation for supporting the war by the USA, which seem especially deadly for Ukrainians, as we consider that the ubiquitous reason for said support is the Ukrainian desire for “Western values”.  One watches the same delusion among so many Americans, on the topic of capitalism that has been superimposed over democracy as “our system”.  If Americans who are treading water in this delusion have been so easily deluded, is it possible that Ukrainians have also been deluded in considering “Western values” as living in a veritable Disney World.  In other words, to suggest the Ukrainian people enduring war do so from an enlightened position, is questionable.

In the US, too many local-community people are losing their rights.  Consider a few examples—-

A type of loss of human rights—-

“The Court has completely disregarded the United States’ binding legal obligations under international law, including those stemming from its ratification of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, ever more regrettably at a time when many countries have, in what is a positive trend, liberalized their abortion laws to respect and uphold women’s human rights to life, health, equality and non-discrimination, privacy and freedom from violence and torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment” they added.

Over the past few months, 42 activists have been charged with “domestic terrorism” under Georgia state law. Their acts of “terrorism”? Alleged property damage and trespassing while protesting. These prosecutions exemplify a highly problematic trend of both the federal and state government: using domestic terrorism powers to punish dissent.

The war of oligarchs isn’t safe for local communities.  Some people see military action and in particular in Ukraine as a type of money laundering that promotes oligarchs and The Military-Industrialized Complex.

Ukrainians are not reported to have supported an American 1-payer universal health care system, but Americans are expected to fund Ukrainian lifestyle choices.  This is a topic for discussion.  –Ukraine is transforming its health system so that people can get the quality health care services they need without experiencing financial hardship.–end of who info–

The atrocious type of American health care which is predatory and ineffectual for too many people, can be added to the list of human rights violations in the USA.   If Ukrainians were aware of the FACT of the American health care system, would they still risk war and death to secure said “Western values”?

Currently in the USA discussions are finally beginning about the open corruption in our 3 Branches of government.   Everything we touch?  —  https://mronline.org/2023/05/20/leaked-recordings-expose-shocking-state-corruption-in-u-s-governed-moldova/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=leaked-recordings-expose-shocking-state-corruption-in-u-s-governed-moldova&mc_cid=ec35a0fde7&mc_eid=2833cdb99b   —

The sponsorship of NATO states has persisted despite industrial scale corruption at the highest levels of government. Indeed, as we shall see, foreign corruption in Moldova is actively facilitated and perpetuated with the support of Brussels and Washington, and continues apace with their full knowledge, consent, and even assistance.—-end of mronline info–

We could inform ourselves about other nations.  —  https://www.amazon.com/Gates-Europe-History-Ukraine/dp/1541675649          —

As Ukraine is embroiled in an ongoing struggle with Russia to preserve its territorial integrity and political independence, celebrated historian Serhii Plokhy explains that today’s crisis is a case of history repeating itself: the Ukrainian conflict is only the latest in a long history of turmoil over Ukraine’s sovereignty. Situated between Central Europe, Russia, and the Middle East, Ukraine has been shaped by empires that exploited the nation as a strategic gateway between East and West—from the Romans and Ottomans to the Third Reich and the Soviet Union. In The Gates of Europe, Plokhy examines Ukraine’s search for its identity through the lives of major Ukrainian historical figures, from its heroes to its conquerors.

This revised edition includes new material that brings this definitive history up to the present. As Ukraine once again finds itself at the center of global attention, Plokhy brings its history to vivid life as he connects the nation’s past with its present and future.

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!
