Indoctrination seems to mean people reject if each even understood one’s personal humanity.  To be human seems to imply the connection between each and The Creator in whatever way one sees He/She/It?Cause and Effect.  A deep connection of this type may interfere with advertising and business concerns.  One has recently mentioned a frightening concept spoken of perhaps 35 years ago, pre-globalism and pre-fascism.  That was an idea of what was called subliminal advertising in which indoctrination would occur without the individual being aware.  One idea of what was meant was that words would be flashed on screens of media without the individual being aware, but that the idea would be internalized.  This sounds as nonsensical now as it did then.  But a point can be made that media take-over of culture and news is less subversive than that notion suggests, but much more aggressive and openly arrogant in transmission of indoctrination.  And the public doesn’t even challenge the ethics of this indoctrination as it did 35 years ago.

A deflection seems to be use of books by those who enjoy watching opposing groups argue over nothing, while media plays havoc with the psyche of children…..and adults….Seemingly indoctrination by book reading, due to time invested and context, is less likely than media indoctrination.  One can’t imagine a better conversation starter between children and a parent than the ideas in books, be as they may.

Several thoughts about the following lawsuit against Hawaiian residents—-*The precedence of language in the TPP that puts in jeopardy local-community members when said members get in the way of hierarchical Establishment may originate in TPP*The US military is supposed to protect American citizens, especially within our own borders, not put them at risk*Should we discuss the legality or at least the human rights implications of The Military-Industrial Complex suing US citizens who support the military with extraordinary taxpayer funding?*Should we wonder about treatment of foreign-nation local communities when US local communities are treated so cavalierly?—https://popularresistance.org/tone-deaf-navy-lawsuit-challenges-hawaii-shut-down-of-leaking-jet-fuel-tanks/   –Late in the afternoon on February 2, following the filing of the two lawsuits, Hawai’i State Department of Health issued a statement on the lawsuits:  “This appeal demonstrates that the Navy is unwilling to do what’s right to protect the people of Hawaii and its own service members. Despite the Navy claiming time and again that it would comply with the DOH emergency order, its actions consistently prove otherwise. We look forward to taking our fight to court to protect Hawaiʻi residents and our environment.”

Bernie Sanders started the revolution for a 1-payer comprehensive public health care system in the USA similar to all other industrialized nations.  Nina Turner has been uncompromising in promoting the interests of the public.  Eventually politicians of all stripes will need to follow the sanity to protection of the public over the interests of big-money campaign donors who support privatized sick care over public health care.

While we’re standing up to bought-off politicians, another crucial topic is that an armed insurrection, even with pitchforks, is not “legitimate political action”——PETITION to sign if you wish—–Subject: I just signed this petition — will you?This is outrageous: the Republican National Committee just called the deadly January 6th insurrection “legitimate political discourse.”

This attack cost several people their lives and left many others seriously injured. It was a horrific attempt to overturn the votes of millions of Americans through violence and intimidation – and any efforts by Republican officials to downplay it are outright dangerous.
I just signed a Common Cause petition condemning the RNC’s claim –​ and I hope that you will, too:

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.
