PREDATORY DICTATORSHIP


Almost like child trafficking, one might say.   Nonpartisan involvement is noted.

Last year, the feds spent $2.7 billion – roughly $18,000 per unaccompanied child at the border.

Roughly 260,000 unaccompanied minors were encountered at the southern border in fiscal years 2021 and 2022.

Today, reports indicate that up to 85,000 “sponsored” children are missing – their locations and whereabouts are not known.

C-Span aired a hearing on the cost of pharmaceutical drugs in the USA.  5/26/2923–Republican Clay Higgins of Louisiana expressed a thought on the topic of pharmaceutical price gouging “We want someone put in jail”.

Some people share this notion about “running government like a business”.  Some people see this as a thinly-veiled predatory dictatorship.

Mariannewilliamson expresses in plain language her platform of a health care system rather than a disease profiteering system.  —  https://marianne2024.com/issues/whole-health-plan/?emci=377c2ac3-19fc-ed11-907c-00224832eb73&emdi=942275f1-1dfc-ed11-907c-00224832eb73&ceid=755594     –Today’s healthcare system puts an unbalanced focus on treating the symptoms of illness at the expense of treating their cause.Until we ask why so many of us experience chronic illness to begin with – far more than citizens of comparably wealthy countries – then we will continue to experience unsatisfactory results in health care.The WHOLE HEALTH PLAN expands the health care debate, tackling not only how to pay for health care but also how to provide greater opportunities for health. The problem in America is not just that our current healthcare system fails to adequately treat sickness. The problem is our current economic system, based as it is on an inordinate focus on short-term profit, actually increases the probability of sickness.

Hierarchy-speak is a jargon that tends to say little with exquisite words.  Those speaking outside of this speak are liable to be labeled blunt.  It’s the language that excludes the target from the conversation of the predators.  We need more judges who can hear such speech and call it out.–

So that’s the case and its importance. But what was equally compelling was the judge’s lack of deference to airline executives and expert witnesses, which is something I wish we’d see more often, since these parties have a strong incentive to mislead. Throughout his opinion, Sorokin called out the executives for lying, but he reserved his true venom for the consulting team from Compass Lexecon, composed of economists Dennis Carlton, Mark Israel, and Darin Lee. Sorokin dubbed their testimony in turn “unnuanced,” “glib,” “misleading,” “bias,” “not soundly reasoned,” littered with “false assumptions,” and “absurd.” He wrote, “based on their historical ties to powerful airlines and the manner in which they expressed their opinions from the witness stand, the Court finds the defense experts’ testimony was tainted by bias.”–end of mattstollersubstack info–

Roger Waters is in the news again—–https://twitter.com/johnpilger/status/1662413039210237954?cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email    –Roger Waters is under fire from the German state for exposing its support for apartheid Israel’s racism. Waters is being threatened by the German police basically for defending the rights of Palestinians. How ironic. Speak up for him, German people.

Extraordinary hierarchical Establishment management of everything is possibly a reason for the yearning toward the wild that is growing.  —  https://wildhunt.org/2023/05/healing-the-land.html               –Who knows how long this land has been yearning for the return of plants that feel just right in her soil? I do not have the answer to that question, but I know she has been whispering to me about it since I met her. She was nearly naked at that time and unhappy about that state of affairs. Humans have occupied this area for over 12,000 years, but it was a rich and fertile river valley long before the first people appeared, and long before it became farmland and residential neighborhoods. Our presence here has caused great harm, which we must continue to work to heal.

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!
