War, inflation, pandemics, and obsession over Russia are the fog hiding the US for-profit health care system that isn’t.  Not only was Bernie Sanders censored out of view, so was health care.  We need a 1-payer comprehensive health care policy.

But in my job reporting on the people left behind by our country’s absurdly complex health care system, I’ve written about how insulin’s steep cost leads to deadly rationing and about patients protesting to bring those prices down.–end of khn info-While meritorious Jim Clyburn postures as powerful, in FACT he worked effectively toward retaining a for-profit health care industry in place of a 1-payer comprehensive health care policy.  Now he’s pushing for an expansion of the same.  Anyone wonder why?Oligarchical interests of US politicians including present and past Presidential Administrations in Ukraine and quite specifically due to energy resources may be a reason American local communities can’t have a 1-payer comprehensive health care policy—–https://twitter.com/medeabenjamin/status/1487588076419522566?cn=ZmxleGlibGVfcmVjcw%3D%3D&refsrc=email      —@SpeakerPelosi Pls explain to us why you are reportedly fast-tracking (H.R. 6470) shipment of $500 million in weapons to #Ukraine to risk a military confrontation with Russia.

National security could benefit by attention from the government to support local community commercial interests that could return the US to ability to manufacture the products required such as, for example, computer chips while increasing the ability for US workers to earn a living wage.  ——-  https://mailchi.mp/a2d9a0f63fa6/save-the-date-webinar-small-businesss-big-moment-457829?e=fa2c3ddca6       –Please join ILSR and Main Street America for a webinar about how communities can use federal American Rescue Plan Act funds to support small business growth and development.Small Business’s Big Moment:

Add the word “fear” to the search and the agenda becomes even clearer. In a search for mainstream media articles on Russia conducted on January 26th, nine of the first ten articles that appeared contained the word “fear” in the headline. China fared a bit better than Russia, but not by much. Better than half of the headlines referenced the word “fear” or “worried” to describe affairs relating to the world’s second largest economy.–end of chroniclesofhaiphong info–Received from popularresistance  —  https://mailchi.mp/popularresistance/t51b5s1gb0?e=1b0a9c0541    –Fascism’s ‘Legal Phase’ Has Begun Politicians Are Papering Over Social Problems Caused By Capitalism

The first responsibility of the US government is national security and the economic globalism from policies that have protected US oligarchs in foreign nations seems to have undermined national security.  https://soaw.salsalabs.org/2022castillowestpoint?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=440c36cf-f1c3-460c-934b-cb8ee2772d8c   —The above is a short excerpt from an exposé in The Guardian about how the U.S.-financed West Point education received by Roberto David Castillo empowered and benefited him. U.S. military training bestows prestige and power on its recipients when they return to their home militaries. Drawing on a report by SOA Watch and other human rights organizations, the article describes how after graduating from West Point, Castillo became an officer in the Honduran military and used his military and government positions to directly benefit his corporate pursuits.–end of schooloftheamericaswatch info–https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/28/berta-caceres-honduras-military-intelligence-us-trained-special-forces

WITHDRAWS SUPPORT FROM FINAL PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE–end of lwv info–Murray Bookchin, who founded social ecology, a theory that strongly influenced early Green Socialist thought, strongly advocated the discussion and study group as the first step of any revolutionary movement. A group of individuals meets to expand their knowledge of radical thought and form a radical intellectual community; through the give and take of discussion, can eventually form ideas for next steps in organizing and political activity. According to Bookchin, study groups help create solidarity and a shared language — with a shared coherent vision — for building a mass, organizing, political movement!
Along with Climate Change, many people oppose the imperialism of the USA under control of the Republican/Democratic duopoly.  Use of the wealth of our nation should be to enhance quality of life for We The People rather than for imperialism.  Some people vote accordingly.I———————–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.
