Avoidance of Dr. Phil presentations due to similarity to Jerry Springer-imagined free for all, was short-circuited this week when awaiting the local news which airs just after Dr. Phil, one stumbled onto the following, which was an interesting perspective.

https://www.drphil.com/shows/the-demise-of-guys/   – Recently, parents across America were googling “who is Andrew Tate?” making him number three in Google searches for 2022, right behind Queen Elizabeth and Donald Trump. Tate claims to be helping young men acquire lots of money, drive luxury cars, and pick up hot women. However, in August 2022, Tate was banned on social media for his misogynist viewpoints.

One was almost prepared to hear a discussion about cooties.

Why in the imagination does NATO feel so similar to Andrew Tate?  —  https://mailchi.mp/democracynow/20180813-745439?e=1aa87a4d5a   ————–

https://www.democracynow.org/2023/7/13/china_nato_summit  —  After the closing of a major NATO summit in Lithuania, President Biden vowed to support Ukraine and warned the war may continue for a long time, before flying to Finland, the newest member of NATO, which shares an 830-mile border with Russia.

This seemed to be a discussion about the difference between men and women, and the reason for supremacy by the male mindset over the female mindset.  This is an ages old topic.  The presumption of superiority due to bulk, mass and muscle over intuition, sensitivity and spiritual connection is interesting.  One believes we find this in the imperialist tendencies that personifies in the American habit of forever wars.

Oleg Nesterenko: I see that you are referring to my analysis of the dollar wars, published some time ago… In fact, this is not the first, or even the second, but the third dollar war. The first was the war against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. The second was the war against Gaddafi’s Libya. And the third, against Moscow on the territory of Ukraine, waged on the territory of a third country, simply because you can’t wage war against the Russians in their own country. And it is only the hybrid and proxy war that can be waged against Russia.

The “I can clean your clock” mentality that presumes superiority leaves out merits of such men as, for example, Van Gogh, DaVinci, MLK, JR. Mahatma Ghandi, Chaucer, Patrice Lumumba, Lee Camp, Leo Tolstoi, Thomas Paine, and even Siddhartha and Jesus Christ.

The US pendulum has swung far toward patriarchy and glorification of stereotypes of maleness that can be as annoying as the opposite stereotypes of femaleness.  

The reality is much more subtle.  Open discussion about what may be quite dangerous and verging on criminality seems an apt discussion by Dr. Phil, especially in light of the obvious imbalance we experience in 2023.

A good place for the average American to start is to be aware of the impact of the political candidates they choose to support.  This is a reason I have voted for the President in the last several elections, on the Green Party ticket by casting votes for Jill Stein and Howie Hawkins.

Currently a new comer to the Green Party in the person of Cornel West is equally acceptable.

https://www.aol.com/news/democratic-jitters-grow-over-cornel-093000960.html   —

Cornel West’s third-party presidential campaign is stirring up unpleasant flashbacks to 2016 for members of the Democratic Party, some of whom are starting to grow anxious about the effect it could have on President Biden’s reelection.

West, a philosopher, Ivy League academic and leftist, recently announced he is newly registered with the Green Party as he seeks to challenge Biden and the eventual Republican nominee for the White House.

One most seriously support Marianne Williamson for President.  But incomprehensibly Ms. Williamson clings to the Democratic Party.  The Democratic Party machine will not permit any other than Biden, at this point, to run as the Democratic Presidential candidate.  Any presumption that imagines differently seems like whistling past the graveyard.

While one supports Labor Unions, one is cognizant of a cronyism between some Union Bosses and business leaders.  Politicians of course are inherently prepared to take advantage of campaign donors from any quarter.  —  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oo38pakcnLQ                  —

Amazon Labor Union Organizers SUE to Remove President Christian Smalls, Force New Election

–end of statuscoup info–

Universally the problem seems to be hierarchy.  That in the Dr. Phil discussion of maleness, some of the participants wish to elbow their way to the top of the least essential mouthpieces of patriarchy is not a surprise.  

In the Amazon Labor Union Organizers info above, it is suggested that mediation would be an available path to a meeting of the minds.  Several thoughts about mediation—

*As a one-time volunteer with ACCORD in Binghamton, NY, one shares the concept that one cannot mediate criminal acts such as rape and murder….or domestic violence..

*Mediation is an excellent tool if unencumbered by hierarchical corruption

*In the Southern Tier of NYS during the anti-fracking years, one worked with a mediator married to a lawyer in a locally-prominent law firm

*Said lawyer was suing NYS to permit fracking for his clients

*Said married mediator was concurrently suggesting mediation as a means by which to come to a meeting of the minds of pro-fracking and anti-fracking groups

*Said lawyer was noticeable in so-called news conferences aired on the public air waves news reports in which local politicians, educational representatives, fracking industry experts, and local land owners ‘spalined to the public the reason fracking our county would be good for us

*These news conferences felt more nearly like sales seminars 

*To mediate this fiasco is just another layer of supremacy inflicted against humanity and nature

*The County attorney sent out letters to politicians and bureaucrats to beware of conflict of interest

This anecdotal story seems typical of patriarchy.

Business practice has been indoctrinated into the public as justifiable; but transferred to individuals the practices feel more revealing of criminality.

https://www.aol.com/news/us-sets-grim-milestone-record-044315752.html  —

NEW YORK (AP) — Slain at the hands of strangers or gunned down by loved ones. Massacred in small towns, in big cities, inside their own homes or outside in broad daylight. This year’s unrelenting bloodshed across the U.S. has led to the grimmest of milestones: The deadliest six months of mass killings recorded since at least 2006.–end of aol info–

It is the subtlety of nuance that brings stereotypical female characteristics to the fore, when brute violence is suggested instead.

One shares again the following, due to relevance.  The extremism espoused as stereotypical of patriarchy are applied to conditions inflicted on others that eventually seem harmful to everyone.  Supremacy seems one such vehicle to inflict harmful extreme conditions.

And on the topic of delicate sensibilities of hierarchical Establishment, C-Span offered one such intimation from a Conservative Climate Change Caucus member.–  https://www.c-span.org/video/?529196-3/rep-john-curtis-government-spending-climate-change  –

Rep. John Curtis on Government Spending and Climate Change

Representative John Curtis (R-UT) talked about government spending deadlines and climate change.

–end of c-span info–

8:20AM–guest–paraphrase–when asked the reason Conservatives are late to the table on the topic of Climate Change, the reply was “we are turned off by the extremism”.  Also mentioned was a desire “not to hurt our economy”.

Several thoughts–

*The economy delicately protected seems to be for the obsolete fossil fuel economy

*An economy that is more locally inspirational and less devastating to climate seems too challenging for those in the Conservative Climate Change Caucus

*Incidentally the newly-imagined economy would not be beneficial to big-money interest campaign donors

*Extremism seems more descriptive of the reality of the public pertaining to dangerous weather and wildfires, when a word-trick by Mr. Curtis applies that label to the people in distress

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.
