One is grateful for a perspective relating to wildfires that include the FACT of Climate Change.  The Central NYS region experienced AQI of far over 400, and this is dangerous.  As much as one appreciates the local news reporting that focuses on capitalism as our savior, to insinuate that “experts” he has heard inform that wildfires such as the one in Canada are normal seems to do a disservice to intellectual honesty.

The views on C-Span broadened the discussion to include Climate Change as a cause of that which 140 million people experienced in the Northeast this week, along with other causes generated from human beings.  

Wildfires are natural but our unusual weather systems that seem actual, seem to be a part of Climate Change that some people wish to ignore due to capitalistic pursuit.

Curious is also a non-story of deaths or harm to individuals within the 140 million-people count, that must have been experienced in the Northeast this week.  Meanwhile a dedicated counting of harm to Ukrainians continue.  Funny that….

El Nino is predicted to exacerbate Climate Change issues….or is Climate Change exacerbating El Nino issues? …..tomato tomoto…. https://countercurrents.org/2023/06/el-nino-returns-could-lead-to-new-records/       —

The natural climate system comes as the Pacific Ocean experiences “warmer-than-average” surface temperatures. When that happens — every two to seven year — the system returns, generally spawning more rainfall in South America, winter storms in the U.S. West and South and droughts across Asia.

Michelle L’Heureux, a climate scientist at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center, says that climate change can influence those impacts.

Humanity needs to face a few realities on the topic of disregard for generation of Climate Change.  To watch MSM promote capitalistic hierarchical Establishment disregard for the need for a different lifestyle must be challenged.  —

News reports about so-called local development promotes indoctrination into Establishment-think, when simply leaving nature alone could be a better alternative for nature and people.   —   https://www.treehugger.com/riparian-planting-restore-river-and-stream-banks-7504265?hid=4246be665c7c525806e26d15079d974213d256e7&did=9374787-20230612&utm_source=treehugger&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=treehugger-daily_newsletter&utm_content=061223&lctg=4246be665c7c525806e26d15079d974213d256e7         —

The correct riparian planting scheme for a particular setting can improve water quality, manage flood risk and boost biodiversity. 

In certain situations, it may be beneficial to create special riparian buffer zones along the banks of a river or stream. The idea is that these zones are protected zones, free from too much human intervention, protected from overgrazing, kept free of traffic or machinery, and so forth.

Cop City Forced Upon Citizens-The Approval of Cop City Proves This is NOT a Democracy

Environmentalist move from “Debby Downers” to “domestic terrorists” in Establishment definition buoyed by MSM indoctrination—

The movement to Stop Cop City in Atlanta has brought environmental defenders and police abolitionists together to fight a mega-project that would demolish the historic Weelaunee Forest to create a massive urban warfare training facility. For standing up for people and the planet, more than 40 Cop City activists have been struck with domestic terrorism charges. Will Potter, author of Green Is the New Red, joins The Chris Hedges Report to place the repression of Cop City activists in a longer history of labeling environmental activists as ‘domestic terrorists.’

For those who don’t remember, Scott Ritter was an inspector in Iraq pre-W-War who sounded the alarm that there were no WMD’s as described by Bush/Cheney.  And by the way, the “War in Iraq” was the response to the 9/11 attack on NYC, when Saudi Arabia seemed to have hosted the perpetrators.  —–https://www.scottritterextra.com/p/finally-the-bull-charged?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email&utm_content=share     – The long-awaited Ukrainian counter-offensive has finally begun. After months of handwringing and speculation, the western investment in Ukrainian military might has been put on display for the whole world to see—billions of dollars of advanced weaponry, drawn from NATO stocks, manned by Ukrainian soldiers who have been trained by NATO instructors, and whose actions have been shaped by NATO intelligence and directed by NATO planners. Let there be no doubt—this is a NATO offensive, a sad reflection on the reality that what was once called a simple proxy conflict has morphed into so much more—direct force-on-force combat between the collective west and Russia.

C-Span hosted a call-in session about whether the electorate would wish a 3rd-Party.  By the way, the USA has a number of Political Parties outside of the corporate Democratic/Republican duopoly, but MSM censors the views outside of the R&D duopoly.  Add to that the difficulty of gaining a place on ballots, due to big-money-owned lawmakers who have passed laws to exclude any other than the D&R duopoly, and one fails to see how the USA can call itself a democracy.  Indeed we are a Constitutional Republic that supposes representation of We The People, but corruption and greed have negated principles of that system into authoritarianism.  —

#GreenSocialist Notes #129

—-end of green info–****

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!
