Direct governmental transfer of cash to fraudulently-intended individuals is only one type of abuse by our government for the big-money campaign donors.  We The People could use some TLC, as suggested in the Preamble.  

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America….

A caller expressed his appreciation to Ivanka Trump who he said was spotted in Maui “helping out”.  Some people see such help from imperialists and oligarchs as a reason such Paradise as Hawaii was spirited away from Indigenous People in the name of progress.

Such angels of mercy as Ivanka have been spotted working their magic in a region where predatory disaster capitalism can so easily be waged, and we could remember about the American addiction of land development.

One presumes to interjection an old post due to relevance—-

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.

Robert Edward Moore Jr., 76, was charged with one count of aggravated manslaughter on an elderly person on July 27. The victim, 87-year-old Dean William Zook, died weeks after the confrontation due to the injuries he incurred.–end of aol info–

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

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

—end of old post—–

So New Orleans is having water problems.  Perhaps we could buy some of the Saudi water rights in the USA to help We The People in the neighborhoods.

More people seem to remember reality over oligarchical indoctrination.  Hope reigns.  —

Another reason for hope is that the Libertarian Party and RFK, Jr. are talking.  Reality may have set in for RFK, Jr..  The Democratic Party like the Republican Party are wedded to their elderly, low-caliber, eminently easily handled white corporatists.  

We The People require a change.****

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.
