Capitalists remind the public that “we are not a democracy but are a Constitutional republic” at the same time Citizens United has legalized without legitimizing money in elections wherein big-money interests buy politicians who pass laws that protect their own interests of campaign fund raising—-https://www.pogo.org/analysis/2022/01/the-pentagons-revolving-door-keeps-spinning-2021-in-review/?utm_source=2022-sub-nd&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=eng-ethics-20220120&utm_content=link2&emci=cc968410-377a-ec11-94f6-c896650d4442&emdi=67f5eea0-407a-ec11-94f6-c896650d4442&ceid=42183 –The revolving door is commonplace at the Pentagon, where many government officials tasked with overseeing the purchase of weapons systems and equipment go on to work for companies in the private sector — the same companies that design and build this equipment for our armed forces.–end of pogo info–
A war justifies the Pentagon revolving door process—-https://www.veteransforpeace.org/pressroom/news/2022/01/18/release-veterans-release-nuclear-posture-review?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=5c8b4537-e466-4641-a6b7-c7b4b4a92c89 —“Veterans have learned the hard way to be skeptical of our government’s military adventures, which have led us from one disastrous war to another,” said Ken Mayers, a retired Marine Corps major. “Nuclear weapons are a threat to the very existence of human civilization,” continued Mayers, “so the U.S. nuclear posture is too important to be left to the cold warriors at the Pentagon. Veterans For Peace has developed our own Nuclear Posture Review, one that is consistent with U.S. treaty obligations and reflects the research and work of many arms control experts.”–end of vfp info–

http://healthjusticemonitor.org/ —Summary: A new study of all Medicare beneficiaries examined health system factors associated with “low-value care” – medical services that are contra-indicated (shouldn’t be done) because they hurt patients far more than helping them. Low-value care also wastes money. The study found that investor ownership is linked with more low-value care, while higher primary care physician presence predicts less low-value care. We need fewer investors and more primary care providers!——-
Voting Rights and Single Payer – Strikingly Similar

Summary: The Freedom to Vote Act now facing a filibuster defeat in the US Senate specifies rules to implement fair elections. It is a desperately needed cure for systematic efforts to subvert the principle of one-person-one-vote in order to profit the GOP. Similarly, single payer specifies a set of rules to implement fair (and efficient) health care, a desperately needed cure for our system’s subversion of the right to health care in order to profit the rich. Both reforms enjoy majority support; can they prevail?–end of hjc info–
It seems a few of the Democratic voters are experiencing buyers remorse. They can only imagine the feelings of Bernie Sanders voters who were denied the right to a free and fair electoral process. But then as Democratic-stalwart James Carville said, elections should be honest (paraphrase) but anything goes during campaigns. Really? And so the result is inferiority in leadership. All better now, as they say.
Occupation by colonizing isn’t limited to physical means. Too much of educational systems is dedicated to promoting hierarchical privilege and power. Combine this with religious chauvinism and too many voices are censored. This can be countered when people challenge occupation byway of information.https://wildhunt.org/2022/01/the-18th-conference-on-current-pagan-studies.html –TWH – The 18th annual Conference on Current Pagan Studies took place from January 15 to 16 over Zoom. The conference is one of the few opportunities for Pagan academics or Pagan-friendly academics to engage in scholarly discourse on modern Paganism. The conference had 25 sessions. Some were experiential. Below are brief summaries of ten sessions from the weekend conference.–end of wildhunt info–
The treasure of the Bernie Sanders in mittens photo is that after an honest political campaign with policies relevant to the health and well-being of the US public, and being deprived of rights of a fair and clean electoral and campaigning process, by a meritorious Democratic political hierarchy, Sanders participated with dignity in the installation of our sub-par leader, compared to the tantrum of the Republican Party and Trump who, by the way, has never won a popular vote.
Quality shows.
We deserve better. https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-refuses-help-perpetrate-fraud–LEAGUE REFUSES TO “HELP PERPETRATE A FRAUD”
