One supposes the moral is that it isn’t so safe to be a meteorological fence sitter during a Climate Change crisis.  One commiserates as one who was a financial adviser during an economic meltdown.  FACTS must be faced and personal responsibility explored.  These are thorny roads when one’s livlihood is involved.  Indoctrination into compliance to hierarchical Establishment complicates ability to discern.

One has noticed we have become deeply mired in Climate Change catastrophes with little or no commentary from said meteorologists.  We may wish to touch upon this tip of the capitalistic iceberg, as it melts.

In the same way that wealth requires poverty, supremacy requires hierarchical distinction.  To acknowledge Affirmative Action requires reasons for the need to be included in supremacy projects in order to so-called thrive in capitalism.  https://portside.org/2023-07-09/ambitions-civil-rights-movement-went-far-beyond-affirmative-action?utm_source=portside-general&utm_medium=email  – But the demands of the civil rights movement went far beyond affirmative action—a policy that was effective in altering the racial composition of the elite, but left the conditions of most African-Americans unchanged.

The Freedom Budget marked the next stage of the civil rights movement; having won civil and political rights, the movement was now demanding social and economic rights. Had it been adopted, the Freedom Budget would have moved the United States several steps towards a Scandinavian-type social welfare state; in so doing, it would have massively improved the life conditions of not only black Americans, but poor and working-class Americans of all races.–end of portside info–

Supremacy seems apparent in a system that demands complicity to hierarchical Establishment parallel to Establishment challenge to self determination for the public.

https://www.npr.org/2023/07/09/1186690457/tulsa-race-massacre-reparations-lawsuit  – The lawsuit was brought under Oklahoma’s public nuisance law, saying the actions of the white mob that killed hundreds of Black residents and destroyed what had been the nation’s most prosperous Black business district continue to affect the city today.

Supremacy requires the ever-present reminder to stay in your lane.

Capitalism rewards and exploits the fence sitters who are too frightened to expound human and natural rights.  Those who do are often derided with labels such as socialist.  That a word can send millions of otherwise thoughtful people back into the capitalistic traces seems indicative of extreme indoctrination.  —

https://popularresistance.org/solidarity-economics-a-path-away-from-capitalist-exploitation/  – Professor Jessica Gordon-Nembhard explores the potential of cooperatives and solidarity economics as pathways towards economic democracy and justice. Drawing on historical examples from the civil rights movement and the Knights of Labor in the 1880s, Nembhard demonstrates how cooperative economics can counteract the exploitation inherent in capitalist systems. She underlines the importance of communal ownership and shared decision-making as mechanisms for wealth redistribution, arguing that such models can liberate communities from economic exploitation. In this alternative approach, power inequities are challenged, and economics becomes a system where everyone can participate and benefit, realizing possibilities through pooled resources and collective action.

I can’t even imagine the reason, considering life in 2023 in the USA, reluctance toward change.  What else would we do?

Surveilling of those labeled as activists by Establishment isn’t new.  A decade ago during the NYS anti-fracking actions and particularly in Pennsylvania, such monitoring was ubiquitous and frightening.  Reports in a local newspaper that a local Sheriff was “moonlighting” with a fossil fuel company didn’t reinforce confidence in justice.

Another reason I love NYS is the Palyul Retreat located around the block from my Upstate NY home-on-a-mountain on a dirt road.  —  https://www.facebook.com/palyulretreat/videos  – We wanted to let you know that we do have practices from our retreat in the morning on Zoom and Facebook Live. Practice will be daily at 7 AM and 9 AM New York Time (Eastern/US).

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.
