The point behind the walk seems to be to reconnect with reality, people and nature.  Inculcation into the culture of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment nonsense will make one wish to do so.  Preoccupation forced upon We The People at the point of an economic gun distorts perception.

As Establishment fashions an artificial lifestyle into which humanity is to accept, we lose the reality of the world around us that is ever expanding.  Speaking of national security issues, what can be more important than bees?

Because what they discovered are some of the prettiest things we’ve ever seen: Wee nests intricately crafted from flower petals, each one taking a day or two to build to offer a safe haven for a single bee egg.

Establishment promotes a progress based on infinite growth using finite resources that destroys nature and humanity, for cash.  Citizens United is the means by which the Supreme Court legalized corruption and bribery in the electoral process with the end result of politicians who pass laws that violate with impunity human rights and natural rights, in order to secure the end of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment.  —  https://popularresistance.org/federal-court-stops-construction-of-mountain-valley-pipeline/   – Late Monday afternoon, a three-judge panel of 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a stay of construction while it considers arguments that Congress violated the separation of powers doctrine when it passed a law expediting completion of the controversial project.

–end of popularresistance info–Congress is a study in turpitude.  One is pleased the three-judge panel of 4th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals is considering whether this matters, as it applies to local-community devastation.

Surely be aware of the politicians who fume when human rights and natural rights are considered.  —  https://www.commondreams.org/news/court-halts-mountain-valley-pipeline  – Construction of the $6.6 billion fracked gas project—pushed hard by the GOP and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), a coal profiteer and Congress’ top recipient of Big Oil money—has been halted by courts for years due to concerns about the harms it would unleash on people and ecosystems in Virginia, West Virginia, and beyond.

Brent Sadler and Benjamin Friedman on NATO Summit in Vilnius

Brent Sadler and Benjamin Friedman talked about the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, and its implications for global security.

–end of c-span info–

Benjamin Friedman seems supportive of NATO and the Proxy War, as are most people interviewed on MSM.  Even so, though he doesn’t wish to “litigate past wars”, Mr. Friedman mentions that the Russia-bordering nations being invited into NATO, aside from Ukraine, were the same that joined Germany during WWII in challenging Russia.  To maintain clarity, recall that Russia was an ally with UK and the USA in WWII.

Clarity about WWII cooperation between the USA, Russia, and UK is necessary due to the dismal state of US educational systems that are not informative of FACTS, but rather rife with propaganda and indoctrination.

One wouldn’t call it fascism, but…. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/tell-your-congress-members-its-time-to-eliminate-tax-exempt-status-for-major-sports-leagues/?source=group-democracy-for-america-advocacy-fund&referrer=group-democracy-for-america-advocacy-fund&redirect=https://secure.actblue.com/donate/dfa_sports_tax_status&link_id=2&can_id=193d62b237484a25dee2367907a4dd04&email_referrer=email_1987521___cohort_63850&email_subject=tell-congress-eliminate-tax-exempt-status-of-the-pga-tour-and-all-professional-sports-leagues-now&refcodeEmailReferrer=email_1987521___cohort_63850   —

The world’s autocratic, human-rights abusing oligarchs just had another huge PR win — and this one is subsidized by your tax dollars.

The PGA Tour just announced its merger with LIV Golf — an upstart golf league that is funded by the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund. The fund is controlled by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the man responsible for the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. In recent years, the Saudis and MBS have spent billions on LIV Golf in an effort to “sportswash” their reputation around the globe, hoping their affiliation with golf, a respectable sport played by society’s elites, will distract from their history of human rights abuses, brutal political repression, and close ties with violent religious extremists.

Despite all this, the PGA Tour is happy to accept their money. And because the PGA Tour, like many other sports leagues, is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit, the PGA is also happy to continue paying no income taxes whatsoever on the billions in revenue it earns.

Americans aren’t allowed to ask questions about Establishment hierarchy.  This is an odd development in a democracy, and does this characterize “Western values”?–

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.
