The American public deserve democracy in our Constitutional republic rather than the cesspool we have.  China is also a republic that is communistic while the USA is a republic that is capitalistic…..Hmmm….

But the larger question – beyond whether Hunter Biden correctly met tax obligations during a period in which, by his own telling, he was being paid $50,000 a month by Ukrainian firm Burisma – are Biden’s financial ties to foreign figures and businesses while his father served as Barack Obama’s No 2.–end of the guadian info–

Here are a few reasons we can’t have a 1-payer universal health care system that would be more equitable and far more cost effective for We The People.  Vote accordingly.

A previous caller spoke of business deals of Trump children with China and Saudi Arabia.

Coincidentally this event in the following link happened at a gulf course.  Gulf courses are traditionally where business deals are negotiated.  Gulf courses are where women were not allowed until only recently.  When women are excluded from the traditional arenas of business deals, this specifically undermines performance in business.  Aside from gulf courses, many country-club memberships are cost prohibitive for people who don’t excel in business; and hierarchical exclusion of others may promote this system.  The character of those so blessed with inclusion, may be a matter for discussion.

So many intermingled FACTS that can describe a type of dictatorship known as oligarchy.

Coincidentally gulf courses have also figured in the “business model” newly manifested in the PGA/LIV merger.  Several thoughts–

*Defense of this merger is about the access to ever greater wealth for the players

*A PGA rep suggested during a Congressional hearing questioning this monopoly, that he refuses to participate in the racism he has identified by said criticism

*Saudi Arabia is implicated in the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers in NYC

*Saudi Arabia is also questioned about use of Arizona water—- https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/16/fondomonte-arizona-drought-saudi-farm-water/

*Insinuation of Saudi Arabia into US gulf business may be as much about water as about sports enthusiasm– https://www.twl-irrigation.com/how-much-water-does-a-golf-course-use/#:~:text=Depending%20on%20the%20location%20of,%247%2C000%20and%20%24108%2C000%20per%20year.

*The price of gas in the USA rises while MSM reports little about the business decision in Saudi Arabia to pull back on gas production in order to generate higher prices of gas

https://theintercept.com/2022/02/23/ukraine-russia-gas-prices-saudi-arabia-biden/  – AS RUSSIA ORDERED troops into Ukraine on Monday, gas prices soared to their highest levels in over seven years. While the media focuses on the conflict in Ukraine, a major cause of the gas price spike has gone overlooked: Moscow’s partnership with Saudi Arabia has grown dramatically in recent years, granting the two largest oil producers in the world the unprecedented ability to collude in oil export decisions. The desert kingdom’s relationship with the U.S. has chilled in the meantime, as demonstrated earlier this month, when President Joe Biden pleaded with the Saudis to increase oil production — a move that would not only have helped to alleviate rising inflation and gas prices, but also reduced Russia’s extravagant profits amid its aggression against Ukraine. The Saudi king declined.

Interesting words are collusion, racketeering, capitalism, communism.  None of religion, ethnicity, or race seem to play a part as do greed, self-indulgence, gluttony, and exploitation.

If the USA begins to feel like a Saudi Arabian colony, is this because we are?

One finds communism to be as awkward and harmful as capitalism.  That the 2 have been in stark opposition for so many years seems to model the good-cop-bad-cop strategy of the Democratic/Republican duopoly.  It controls humanity.

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/02/trumpism-the-proud-boys-and-the-extremist-allure-for-people-of-color  – At its core, the prosperity doctrine of white supremacy is a function of the American idea of meritocracy—that success comes to those who work hard enough. Anyone can buy into that, regardless of whether the system truly works for them. “Think of America from its founding as having a sort of dual state,” Wasow said. “There was a rights-granting democracy for white men, and in particular, white male property owners, and for Native Americans and African Americans there was a sort of predatory state. Native Americans were dispossessed of their land and African Americans of their labor. So you have these two different regimes coexisting in the same political unit of a country.”

There was a dark side to this story. As the Cuban exiles fought Castro’s repressive regime from abroad, many committed acts of terrorism. There were illegal incursions into Cuba, assassinations, bombs, and plots — some involving the U.S. government, such as Operation Mongoose. The burglars who broke into the Democratic headquarters at Washington, D.C.’s Watergate complex were Cuban Americans. The terrorist who placed the bomb that killed Chile’s ambassador to the United States, Orlando Letelier, was Cuban American. But the most shocking act committed by Cuban Americans took place in 1976, when Orlando Bosch and Luis Carriles Posada placed a bomb aboard a Cuban civilian airliner, killing dozens of innocent victims including young athletes returning from abroad.–end of pbs info–

T. J. English, a best-selling author of books about organized crime, caught the Cuba bug as a child watching Fidel Castro on newscasts. Later he fell under the spell of Cuban music. His book Havana Nocturne: How the Mob Owned Cuba … and Then Lost It to the Revolution takes readers to the underbelly of Cuba in the 1950s, when mobsters like Charles “Lucky” Luciano and Meyer Lansky turned the island into a criminal empire and unwittingly launched a vibrant Afro-Cuban music scene that continues to this day.–end of smithsonianmag 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.
