US incursions around the globe are explained by saying it is “spreading democracy around the world”.  Which nation in the last 50 years subjected to US benevolence by military action, is better off?  In FACT, the USA is not better off and in FACT has incredible problems that need attention yesterday.  These problems are ignored by US oligarchs/politicians.  And why are oligarchs and politicians so often one and the same?

Politicians insist on protection of democracy with the implication of the public, while exploiting for profit the US public.  Around the globe we are watching a growing struggle between the majority of humanity and oligarchs.  The USA is not exceptionally excluded from this farce—-https://portside.org/2022-02-19/theranos-verdict-us-it-fine-lie-consumers-not-investors     –The media, including those who are disturbed by the trial focusing on fraud of investors, not of the patients who got erroneous results, do not understand bourgeois law. Protecting private property is central to bourgeois law, not people. It is the task of regulations to see that the public is protected from harm by companies acting to maximize their profits. These regulations have been systematically weakened to help capitalism against the interests of the consumer, as seen during the hyper-capitalist regime starting with the 1990s, which we call neoliberalism.

The corporate-owned-state-run MSM news blackout about the involvement of many anti-fracking and anti-exploiting advocates in NYS is a reason said efforts go unacknowledged and so a model of how to challenge local-community abuse by capitalistic hierarchical Establishment is not broadcast.  Prescience is often necessary to forestall Establishment exploitation; and by the way, an iron shell of dignity should be assumed to avoid being cowed by hierarchical charges of NIMBYism.  The NYS fracking ban wasn’t achieved by sprinkling fairy dust.  Although more than a little of individual internal fortification possibly happened in order to maintain rectitude over so long a struggle, by some individual advocates——–https://portside.org/2022-02-19/brooklyn-residents-protest-pipeline-passes-white-neighborhoods-beelines-through-black   –The areas the pipeline has mapped have fallen victim to environmental racism. According to The Guardian’s report, areas like Ocean-Hill, Bushwick and Brownsville have battled the burdens of toxic hazards and most neighborhoods in the city struggle with high rates autoimmune issues like asthma due to high levels of pollution.
–end of portside info–Otherwise the neighborhood will house a pipeline and will be nothing but another Democratic campaign strategy slogan for the next election.

Joe Biden and Jim Clyburn seem to have collaborated in favor of for-profit sick care and surely seem uninterested in a 1-payer comprehensive public health care policy.  If my opinion is incorrect, I look forward to clarification from either or both.
http://healthjusticemonitor.org/      —Summary: Today we summarize what single payer offers, and the challenges to achieving it, using the arbitrary framework of 20-item lists. (With President’s Day on Monday, perhaps Lincoln’s “Four score …” sent a subliminal message.) The incredible advantages justify continued struggle to overcome the daunting obstacles.–end of healthjusticemonitor info—-

Corporations have been ‘multinational’ for quite some time. In the 1970s and ’80s, before Ronald Reagan’s signature tax cuts took effect, approximately 60 per cent of manufactured imported goods were produced offshore, overseas, by US companies. That percentage has risen since then, but not by much.Chinese workers aren’t the problem – the homeless, aimless idiocy of corporate accounting is. That is why the Citizens United decision of 2010 applying freedom of speech regulations to campaign spending is hilarious. Money isn’t speech, any more than noise is. The Supreme Court has conjured a living being, a new person, from the remains of the common law, creating a real world more frightening than its cinematic equivalent: say, Frankenstein, Blade Runner or, more recently, Transformers.–end of aeon info–
Zelensky called a bluff as he asked the USA to sanction Russia before Russia invades the Ukraine rather than after.—https://www.cbsnews.com/news/ukraine-president-volodymyr-zelensky-sanctions-against-russia-before-possible-invasion-not-after/     –Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Western leaders gathered at a security conference in Munich on Saturday that he wants sanctions to be imposed against Russia before any potential invasion of his country, not after.”You’re telling me that it’s 100% that the war will start in a couple of days. Then what [are you] waiting for?” Zelensky said. “We don’t need your sanctions after the bombardment will happen, and after our country will be fired at or after we will have no borders or after we will have no economy or parts of our country will be occupied. Why would we need those sanctions then?””So when you’re asking what can be done, well lots of different things can be done. We can even provide you the list. The most important is willingness,” he said.–end of cbsnews info——–The world needs more relevant questions and we need direct answers from so-called leaders.  What was the response, directly, to this question?

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———————–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.

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!
