DEFLECTION NATION
In other words while capitalistic hierarchical Establishment is indoctrinating that “we are not a democracy”, some environmental-health advocates are reminding that governments don’t do democracy, people do—
https://www.aol.com/news/greta-thunberg-playing-inside-outside-172033349.html —“Inside COP, they are just politicians and people in power pretending to take our future seriously, pretending to take the present seriously of the people who are being affected already today by the climate crisis,” she told reporters and fans. “Change is not going to come from in there.”

Representative Keller on President Biden’s Agenda and Congressional News of the Day
Representative Fred Keller (R-PA) talked about President Biden’s “Build Back Better Agenda,” upcoming fiscal deadlines, and congressional news of the day.——end of c-span info–Fred Keller shared his reason to support private-industry health care funding (private health insurance). His anecdote revealed the favorable outcome for his gravely ill son in which his health insurance permitted the happy outcome that would not have been available under universal government-funded health care. Several thoughts—*Everyone must be grateful for the favorable health outcome of Mr. Keller’s son*What is the source for expression that government-funded one-payer healthcare would be less favorable?*Perhaps Mr. Keller, at the time, owned a private-industry health insurance policy, but currently Mr. Keller avails his family and self of government-sponsored health care paid by the taxpayer (socialism)While Democrats are politically clumsy and immature, Republicans are smooth to the extent of snake oil salesmen. Good cop, bad cop, perhaps?Too many politicians seem reluctant to face honestly the topics relevant to our democracy.An example of questions strangely unanswered are high in number. Consider the RFK data–https://www.portable.tv/series/redactedtonight?v=0229cb6b-9459-4589-a53d-fc1008f0fe9d—–https://twitter.com/LeeCamp/status/1455672577712664585?cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=emailhttps://www.justsecurity.org/75795/federal-agencies-face-april-deadline-on-secret-jfk-files/–end of RFK data info———The above sounds far-fetched to me, too, except for the censorship that shines a spotlight on the censorship that is the dark corner.C-Span hosted Brenda Lawrence—Representative Lawrence on President Biden’s Agenda and Congressional News of the Day. Representative Brenda Lawrence (D-MI), a member of the House Appropriations Committee, talked about President Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda, upcoming fiscal deadlines, and congressional news of the day.–end of c-span info–9:30AM or so–caller–paraphrase–Are you willing to grant reparations to Native Americans and should black and white Americans give back the land taken from Native Americans?9:32AM–Brenda Lawrence–spoke eloquently about everything but justice for Native Americans. In FACT, nothing was answered about Native Americans. The topic was deflected slickly.Deflection is the policy of the Democratic/Republican duopoly that poses as diversity byway of political Party when in FACT they consist equally by the same capitalistic hierarchical Establishment using the same inanity as policy—https://www.commondreams.org/news/2021/11/02/cant-frack-our-way-safe-climate-biden-condemned-approving-fossil-fuel-lease-sales?utm_term=AO&utm_campaign=Daily%20Newsletter&utm_content=email&utm_source=Daily%20Newsletter&utm_medium=Email—“While President Biden is talking a good talk on climate action, the reality is his administration is actively working to fan the flames of the climate crisis by selling more public lands for fracking,” Jeremy Nichols, climate and energy program director for WildEarth Guardians, said in a statement. “This isn’t just hypocritical, it’s outright deceitful and it truly calls into question whether the Biden administration’s climate agenda is nothing but broken promises.””The truth is, we can’t frack our way to a safe climate,” said Nichols. “With all eyes on Glasgow this week, the Biden administration seems to be turning its back on reality and throwing climate leadership into the toilet.”—end commondreams info–The capitalistic hierarchical Establishment controlling the Republican/Democratic duopoly is conveniently ignoring the FACT of Climate Change. The deflection doesn’t change the FACT. This deflection can be deadly.In a democracy such as is the USA, so far, actions are necessary from the public over and above the government, as one watches in many strengthening coalitions of safety-minded citizens—-https://mailchi.mp/790977c951cc/green-party-of-st-louis-meeting-wed-april-19-2017-recent-and-future-elections-1130962?e=d624642c9f–Agriculture as a Weapon of Domination
Webinar at 7 pm CT, Wednesday, Nov 3, 2021
The webinar will begin with Wes Jackson explaining the 10,000-year-old
problem of agriculture: cultivation of annual grain crops which compromise
soil ecosystems and organic matter. Perennial grain crops and cropping
systems can make food-producing ecosystems as resilient as natural
ecosystems. Asa Anpu will cover what colonialism means to the colonized,
especially with regards to food deserts imposed by settler “farmers” on
Black people within South Africa and how the Uhuru Movement is
challenging this. Nely Rodriguez will share how a small group of
farmworkers joined with the Fair Food Program to completely change
conditions of their labor, from eliminating wage theft to modern-day slavery.
US allies can support farmworker rights through the Boycott of Wendy’s.
Jaideep Hardikar will address problems facing small and marginal farmers
who comprise 83% of India farm households, commercialization of the
countryside due to steady withdrawal of state support, and the growing
network of people’s collectives and agro-ecological approaches. –end of Agriculture as freedom info–
At least the public is beginning to pay attention. — https://wildhunt.org/2021/11/texas-lawmaker-investigates-850-books-he-says-makes-students-uncomfortable.html — In reference to authoritarian control of non-physically-dangerous personality differences, it wasn’t so long ago that the remedy was to burn at the stake, women who were unmarried, old, successful in business, or just plain pissy. Interesting is the FACT that this is left out of educational curriculum. That could explain a lingering defensiveness that may be deemed as unladylike.Received from popularresistance—https://mailchi.mp/popularresistance/c60qonr8wy?e=1b0a9c0541 —
