Putin may or may not be insane, but what about the rest of us?  Or at least honesty.

As one who gets news from as many sources as possible, including RT, it is remarkable to hear the divergent opinions on MSM passing for journalism and news.https://mailchi.mp/popularresistance/5iu5mczlti?e=1b0a9c0541     —

Disarming Ukraine – Day Four– Yesterday anyone watching Euronews on one screen and Russian state television on another would have been perplexed by the totally contradictory coverage of both with respect to the fate of the armed detachment of Ukrainian border guards on one island in the southeast of Ukraine.

Recalling the unsettling dissimilarity between news coverage depending on outlet, one would suggest more information should be better than less  —    https://us2.campaign-archive.com/?u=2ab5175e797cf44579dae2f21&id=e4e5958d70&e=4e98d8ae27        —

So I don’t normally do this, but I’m going to give you several videos and articles with the truth about the Ukraine crisis, even though some of them are not mine. But obviously these are scary times and I want you to have all the info.

A quick note: You can tell people are not REAL anti-war voices if their response to war is more war. They are simply propagandists for empire.

Another interpretation is that when oligarchs, whether Russian or US, protect their interests, the wealth of the globe is transferred from the 100% to the 1%—-https://socialistproject.ca/2022/02/stop-the-war-appeal-for-europe-peace/#more    –The peoples of Europe know too well what war and its terrible consequences mean. The EU is currently suffering due to the devastating COVID-19 pandemic and its catastrophic management. We mourn more than 2 million dead over the last two years. The pandemic affects the lives of millions and is reshaping the economies. In this conjunction, we consider the increase of military expenses, fueled, and justified by the increase of military tensions and the warmongering rhetoric, unacceptable. It is an outrage that during the current lethal pandemic, military expenses increase from 1.63% to 2.2% of the global GDP. Military conflict is not the only challenge to the security of Europe’s people. The dire consequences of climate change can already be felt in our continent and both these crises are amplifying structural inequalities in the EU, Europe, and the world. Although not included in most of the international environmental agreements, such as the Paris Climate Agreement, the military-industrial complex is one of the biggest polluters of our planet and war the most devastating strike on nature’s integrity. Valuable resources that could help eradicate inequalities in the health and social systems of EU countries, as well as the renewal and resilience of infrastructure, are spent on the prospect of a prolonged war that would be detrimental to the peoples of the EU and Europe. This has to stop!–end of socialistproject info–
C-Span surely attracts vibrant conversations on many topics.9:50AM–paraphrase–caller–Enumerating the following–*NATO wouldn’t let Ukraine in due to corruption*Obama sent the Bidens in to Ukraine to deal with the corruption*Germany worked with Russia to obtain fossil fuel
This caller’s expressed point was that the invasion of the Ukraine was proceeded by years of build up.  Not sure, but one believes this caller also mentioned 8 years of Western Ukrainian and right-wing attacks on the Eastern portion of the Ukraine where resides more left-wing types who by the way are also Russian, not that one sees much of a difference between Ukrainians and Russians.  
The difference seems more based on right wing and left wing.  Oligarchs in Russia, as in the USA, take advantage of ethnic differences to promote class.  Even corporate-owned-state-run MSM and by the way Joe Biden, have expressed concern about expanding fascism in the USA.  Possibly the USA could fix our own problems before doing so elsewhere, in order that a model could be expressed.  
C-Span also showed a clip from the FOX news channel in which Mitt Romney listed the ills of Russia, and in particular the incarceration of Russians.https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/08/16/americas-incarceration-rate-lowest-since-1995/#:~:text=The%20World%20Prison%20Brief’s%20data,564%20inmates%20per%20100%2C000%20people).       –Despite these downward trends, the U.S. still has the highest incarceration rate in the world, according to the World Prison Brief, a database maintained by the Institute for Crime & Justice Policy Research at Birkbeck, University of London. The database compares incarceration rates across more than 200 countries and territories using publicly available data for each jurisdiction.–end of pewresearch info–
The reputation of the USA is that it is better in our judicial system to be rich and guilty than poor and innocent.  
But this view is buried with war that benefits global oligarchs and surely doesn’t help We The People.  We aren’t discussing wealth inequality, health care, or democracy, except as the reason for intervention for the Ukraine in the same way the West has confused capitalism with democracy.  We even seem unconcerned about the threat to bees.  
By the way, money in elections attract corruption.  Why do we never challenge Citizens United, even on C-Span?
Most importantly and a large threat to national security is Climate Change.  The threats in Europe have frightened consumers into calling for increased fossil fuel production.  Let’s call instead for a renewable and sustainable and local energy infrastructure.
We need and do not have a working Free Press.  Call out the corporate-owned-state-run MSM talking heads whether left or right, who support “spreading democracy around the world” when the USA doesn’t have a Free Press.https://www.cbsnews.com/news/local-news-financial-firms-60-minutes-video-2022-02-27/  –The point was made that local politicians are able to get away with corruption due to lack of citizen oversight that is impossible with a Free Press.
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/america-electric-grid-60-minutes-2022-02-27/      —  This reinforces the reason a local, sustainable and renewable energy infrastructure could promote national security.  That politicians purchased into public office via Citizens United haven’t addressed this as yet, is a reason for discussion.

To pretend the USA has answers for world problems is premature.
And by the way, the loquacious and meritocratic Jim Clyburn, who is responsible for the leadership we have, is suddenly quite silent about the Russian/Ukrainian tension.  Where’s the wisdom?

———————–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!
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.
