The C-Span discussion about the Korean War was ushered in with an apparently government-inspired movie staging the pro-US perspective of our participation.  The movie itself was a delightful reminder of one’s childhood in Upstate NY, where during so many auditorium-movie displays, students were mandated to watch hours of pro-capitalistic views that effectively indoctrinated into capitalism as democracy.

Gregg Brazinsky on the 70th Anniversary of the End of Korean War

Gregg Brazinsky, George Washington University history and international affairs professor, discussed the 1953 Korean Armistice Agreement and the status of North Korea and South Korea today.

–end of c-span info–

9:30AM–guest Gregg Brazinsky–paraphrase–spoke of the value of American intervention in foreign nations such as Korea that while undermining a culture, at the same time blessed (paraphrase) the foreign nations with the benefits of capitalism and a thriving economy.

(This is an interesting indoctrination yet unexplored, considering the military/capitalism devastation of people and nature that seems to be a component in global warming and current poverty of local-community members, including the USA, and the exponential wealth of oligarchs.)

C-Span hosted a discussion this morning as to views about the economy.

caller–paraphrase–first hour of C-Span–Mentions the Trump Tariff that placed a tax on US consumers (while ‘splaining the tariff was imposed on China as though the cost devolved onto them) at the same time Trump provided a tax cut to the wealthy,  The caller said Biden removed this tariff for several nations including Canada, but prices haven’t come down because corporations haven’t passed on the tariff saving to consumers, but instead captured the cost of the tariff into their profits.

Immediately after this call Republican John Thune was shown ‘splaining how Biden caused inflation.

One is aware of the delusion of the Democratic Base about Biden that is no less deep than the same by the MAGA crowd about Trump.

Meanwhile Americans still don’t have universal health care, while we send billions of dollars to Europe via NATO and the Ukraine War, where nations provide for their citizens the well-being of universal health care.

Media indoctrination is evident in so many places.  Aside from school children exposed to capitalist propaganda in classes and ubiquitous misogyny aired by patriarchy on MSM as ongoing “entertainment”, sometime couched in language by “experts”, consider the following.  —  https://www.desmog.com/2023/03/31/lost-decade-how-shell-downplayed-early-warnings-over-climate-change/   –

The 30-minute film makes no mention of the coal assets the Anglo-Dutch oil major had acquired in an effort to diversify in the wake of the 1973 oil shock. Nor does it refer to a topic that was of unequivocal scientific concern at the time: The “greenhouse effect,” or what is now known as climate change. 

Time for Energy is part of a collection of 201 company documents, official correspondence, reports, academic studies, and other materials that cast new light on what Shell knew about climate change — and what it chose to tell the public.

So who funds ALEC?

A review of hundreds of tax filings by the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) has uncovered 39%—or $16.4 million—of the $41.7 million ALEC received in contributions between 2017 and 2021. Most 2022 IRS filings are not yet publicly available.

This investigation into ALEC’s funding builds on a 2021 CMD report that identified over $15 million—roughly one-third of its revenue from contributions—raised between 2014 and 2019.–end of portside info–

One is less inclined  to see 2 incidents that are similar as indicative of anything, than to bring up the notion that in a nation where black men are challenged by law enforcement while innocently driving down the street, such incidents as these are dismissed so easily.  —

Views contrary to capitalistic hierarchical Establishment views are usually MSM-labeled conspiracy theories.  In a wish to remind that hierarchical capitalistic Establishment has been known to traffic in conspiracy theories, one offers the following.  Scott Ritter may not be well known by some people due to censorship, but he spoke of theories put out by the Bush Administration to justify the War in Iraq, that was promoted shortly after the 9/11 attack on NYC, that seems to implicate many rulers in Saudi Arabia, that by the way has insinuated into US sports busness via the PGA/LIV merger.  Anyhoo, Scott Ritter—- https://consortiumnews.com/2023/07/28/scott-ritter-requiem-for-natos-nightmare/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=011679b3-48b0-4181-8c75-4319f21f909d   –

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emerges as a tragic figure in the unfolding drama that is the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

He was asked to sacrifice the lives of his countrymen in order to be seen by the U.S. and NATO as worthy of joining their club. But when the sacrifice did not produce the desired result (i.e., the strategic defeat of Russia), the door to NATO, which had been left open a crack to tease Ukraine into performing its suicidal task, was slammed shut.

One personally doesn’t view Zelensky as a tragic figure, anymore than one views in the same light, the vague MAGA crowd or Democratic Base voters.  

Is the censorship toward the black left a conspiracy?  That some may not be aware speaks of a news blackout  —-  https://popularresistance.org/take-action-drop-the-charges-against-the-uhuru-three/   –

In recent days and weeks both Black Power Media and Revolutionary Blackout Network have received what are called “strikes” on YouTube which ban them from uploading new content for one week. Just as in the game of baseball, on YouTube three strikes put a channel out if received in a 90-day period.  At Black Agenda Report we have long noted that the drive to censor is directed most heavily towards the Black left.

The regime of censorship began in earnest during the 2016 presidential campaign as Hillary Clinton sought to paint Donald Trump as a Russia agent, “Putin’s puppet,” as she said. From that time on she and her friends in the corporate media and surveillance state did everything they could to continue the falsehood. There are many things one can say about Trump but he is no Russian asset. But it was the Democratic National Committee law firm that paid for the Steele Dossier, a phony document meant to make the case against Trump.

–end of popularresistance info——Reasons to deny leadership to the likes of Trump are sufficiently numerous that falsehood is unnecessary.

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.
