DE-INDOCTRINATION
Maybe not forever or for everyone, but surely this seems a lifestyle that should be available. What if more communities offered de-indoctrination spaces? Would mental health improve? Could spiritual health be remembered?
THE “C” WORD
Lee Camp speaks of the delicacy with which capitalistic hierarchical Establishment avoids using the word capitalism, as the public begins to awaken to the reality that capitalism isn’t synonymous with democracy. Capitalism is an economy theory. Monetary systems are useful when We The People feel encumbered with hauling around a cow to trade for a barrel of apples, for example. Capitalism is a perfectly valid system of economy. In contrast, capitalism as a governing principle, in other places and times, were more honestly called fascism, communism, or perhaps dictatorship.
EQUALITY IN THE EYES OF DICTATORS
Aside from the obvious reality of the transfer of the wealth of the planet from the 100% to the 1%, a commensurate diminishing of equality and justice….surprise, surprise…..has happened. Why is it legal for the upper echelon to put at risk US national security while members of the general public are incarcerated for, for example, jaywalking?
YOU CAN DEFINE THE 21st CENTURY
Language matters especially from bureaucracy that can shape the lives of We The People. This change in language in NYS reminds of a decades-old sit-com called Designing Women. Included in the characters was a handyman who was imminently likable and dependable but wore a perpetually worried look on his face while often punctuating his conversation with reference to his “unfortunate incarceration”. This seems to have been a subtle political statement about the times of such policies and laws as stop and frisk.
DIMENSIONS OF CHANGE
As some of the public lose grip of reality by acceptance of indoctrination into capitalistic hierarchical Establishment definitions of life and economy, a good idea may be to remember that the media harangue as to what constitutes reality is only one facet of an incredible diamond of truth.
SPEAKING OF PRIVACY
Privacy seems to be a value that straddles legislation and human rights. We could benefit from a public discussion of these topics. Laws are governmental and human rights are intrinsic.
AUTHENTIC INSPIRATION
It can’t be bought.
We could begin with a voice from people with inherent rights to the Americas.
BE MINDFUL OF THE RED HERRING
Some people notice globalism isn’t about local communities as much as it is about upper echelon world oligarchs. This feels like dictatorship on a whole new level.
LAW OF THE JUNGLE
As toxic Supremacist patriarchy spreads in the USA, living conditions for women and perhaps the elderly seems to become dangerous. One can’t help but recall that in Medieval Europe, elderly women were also ostracized and hunted down by toxic patriarchy.
DOOM IS TOO EASY
Bernie Sanders has seen a few things. Consider his views at www.berniesanders.com and listen to his thoughts about doom.
WHEN RHETORIC BECOMES OBVIOUS
C-Span touched on several topics today, one being welfare as we know it. Hierarchical rhetoric is taking on a tediously nonsensical tone, some people think.
TAKE THE KEYS OF THE FAMILY CAR FROM JUNIOR
In other words, should the US public underwrite joyriders?
AWAKEN
Most students in civics classes noticed a paragraph in government-approved textbooks about a scandal in the Warren Harding Administration called the Teapot Dome. One doesn’t remember anything about this scandal other than it was about kickbacks. FACTually speaking, that this scandal was included in textbooks seems to assuage any notion that this system continued unabated, but the insinuation was that this scandal was an anomaly. One’s eyes popped open after reading the following about which one recently commented—–
This book reminds that the past can warn those who have the awakening to notice..
Incidentally reading the following—-https://www.davidgrann.com/book/killers-of-the-flower-moon/—In the 1920s, the richest people per capita in the world were members of the Osage Indian nation in Oklahoma. After oil was discovered beneath their land, they rode in chauffeured automobiles, built mansions, and sent their children to study in Europe.
Then, one by one, the Osage began to be killed off.

Librarians are said to be under attack from bureaucrats. No wonder.
The infamous Teapot Dome Scandal may have reached over decades unabated and hushed into a system known as “running government like a business”.
https://www.history.com/topics/roaring-twenties/teapot-dome-scandal –In 1920, Warren G. Harding, a senator and Ohio newspaper publisher, won a long-shot bid for the White House with the financial backing of oilmen who were promised oil-friendly cabinet picks in return. As Laton McCartney wrote in his book The Teapot Dome Scandal, How Big Oil Bought the Harding White House and Tried to Steal the Country, the back-slapping Harding was a consummate “go along to get along man.”

—-end of recap——
An argument can be made that the bribing of government officials was dealt with after the Teapot Dome Scandal, not by challenging corruption legislatively and judicially, but by legalizing without legitimizing corruption in the government by such determinations as Citizens United. In other words, laws were passed to legalize “running government like a business”, which may be defined as either fascism or organized crime.

Can these governmental anomalies add to Climate Change? Perhaps…..https://theintercept.com/2022/07/18/joe-gayle-manchin-condo-climate-canaan-valley/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=The%20Intercept%20Newsletter –But while Manchin has sabotaged federal efforts at combating climate change, he has used federal dollars to preserve his own corner of the world. Public records reviewed by The Intercept show that even after Manchin’s decadeslong efforts to upend environmental policy that would undercut the fossil fuel companies funding his political campaigns (and the waste coal industry generating his personal fortune), he and his wife, Gayle Manchin, have directed millions of federal dollars to a small, pristine valley in West Virginia where the couple owns a condo. Hundreds of miles north of the coal communities decimated by the mountaintop removal mining that Manchin fostered in the state, the Manchins’ Canaan Valley residence sits in an unadulterated watershed, surrounded by the Dolly Sods Wilderness, the Canaan Valley National Wildlife Refuge, and Blackwater Falls State Park.

But don’t blame Joe Manchin for acting true to his character. He won’t be the first.
https://portside.org/2022-07-20/joe-manchin-symptom-its-senate-thats-sick?utm_source=portside-general&utm_medium=email –Two-hundred and thirty-five years later and the United States Senate still works to stymie and stifle the “pernicious innovations” that might help ordinary Americans, or preserve the planet for their children and grandchildren.
–end of portside info–
As one who is fairly informed and curious, still I was shocked to hear Howie Hawkins inform that the Senate is not a requirement and is not a part of the 3 branches of government. And so if it feels like the function of the Senate is to maintain supremacy by a certain group of people, it may be a FACT.
If the Senate isn’t a requirement, maybe this should be discussed.
One has watched a concept of American exceptionalism that to some people seem like hubris, pretend to supremacy by being woke, to an extent that has blinded Americans to real-time democratic (small d) actions that predominate just South of the borders of North America. Could this be a type of racism? Could Northern chauvinism be another excuse for imperialism inflicted under the excuse of “spreading democracy around the world” that promises privilege to those who support this system? Could the North learn anything from the South, as pertains to the Americas?—

CLIMATE CHANGE AND CHOICE
Disingenuous Conservatives who hypocritically attack Choice which is an innate human right of women as apparent by biology from The Creator (you can’t challenge FACTS) would better build a society that enhances the life of women and children, if said Conservatives wish to cut down on abortions, rather than forcing women through a filter of patriarchal control that implies human rights violations, with said violations based on the mechanics as preordained by The Creator.
WHAT WE COULD HAVE LEARNED FROM THE TEAPOT DOME SCANDAL
A definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing while expecting different results. C-Span hosted a discussion about electoral reform, while basing the discussion on reliance to corporate political Party duopoly control, rather than on control by We The People.
