DELUDED INTO INANITY
As one who is deeply unconcerned with another person amassing financial wealth, one does however object to the violence, aggression and tyranny said person presumes due to that accumulation of finances over human sentiment. Those purchased by that wealth is a personal choice. The harm to unconnected people and nature is another thing. Presumption by hierarchy to influence emotionally the public, and includes efforts of the well-paid entertainment industry, will continue to highlight Russian oligarchs as though there are no American oligarchs, as they protect their own territory of wealth and privilege.
WHAT WE VOTE FOR
A democracy requires FACTual information and this implies a Free Press. Notoriously the news sources in the USA are owned and controlled by only several corporate entities that seem as involved in disseminating reports as they may be in donating to political campaigns. This further implies that commercial interests and governance are closely connected.
YOUR OWN BACK YARD
Establishment has long used the notion of NIMBY to shame and silence local-community members. In FACT, NIMBY seems to be survival and thriving. Local-community members seem to have this right this idea is intrinsic and backed up by the US Constitution.
BEYOND INDOCTRINATION
One may worry that the standing of Jane Fonda may be sullied among the oligarchs of the globe due to her position on exploitation; but then one recalls that Jane Fonda never held an honored position among those with predatory character—
WHEN TECHNOLOGY WORKS
C-Span isn’t coming in this weekend, as it often reacts when there is a heavy cloud cover. The less technologically-touchy NPR, however, is coming in just fine. All the technology required is to plug the radio into the wall, if our local grid is still functioning. Advertising has ignored the FACT that the more complicated the technology, the less dependable it is. And so do our industry-purchased politicians so ignore. But the money is nice.
EGO WANTS WHAT IT WANTS
WHO ARE WE?
Who doesn’t understand the motivation of Zalensky and in FACT who wouldn’t act the same in his shoes? And this may be how history is rewritten to fit the Establishment script. The movement of non-violence that was the foundation of ideas from MLK, Jr. has been white-washed for political expediency by capitalists who are posturing as pro-democracy when an informed person can understand that capitalism is hierarchical and antithetical to democracy.
WHAT THEY SAY, NOT WHAT THEY DO
C-Span showcased US politicians seemingly enthusiastic over having recently listened to Ukrainian President Zalensky.
AFFECTATION NATION
It’s not like there aren’t alternatives to war and Climate Change. Denial and obfuscation aren’t working so well. Let’s try reality.
BOTH HOUSES OF COMMERCE
This morning the host of C-Span, who seems to use all of her faculties to maintain a forum of Free Speech and fairness, seemed to express truth rather than FACT as she reported that Zalensky would address “both Houses of Commerce” instead of using the state-approved label of “both Houses of Congress”.
CLIMATE CHANGE OR WAR?
THESE ARE NOT OUR ONLY CHOICES.
We have more serious topics to consider than interests of individual nations and the ideology of each. The public of the world need to challenge using local communities for the exploitation for the elite. So far local communities aren’t doing so well, but seem to follow the lead from their tormentors.
PERSPECTIVE IS THE SUNSHINE
First, universal perspective

INSTABILITY
To use the jargon of “The West”, one refers to masculine and feminine. This is most emphatically not to imply it is about men and women, it is only colloquial to speak to the audience. One can as easily refer to yin and yang or cause and effect. And so, fewer people would be able to relate. Balance is hopeful and would benefit everyone.
TERRORISTS AND MADMEN
A nation with a military squatting in the Middle East over decades, bombing at their pleasure, suddenly have found moral clarity as it jumps at the chance to position their political opposition as quasi terrorists and madmen. How soon we forget the inanity after 9/11 when W. attacked not the nation of origin of most of the terrorists, but Iraq and the Saddam Hussein who had offended Poppy Bush. The actual effect of that is the deaths of millions of Iraqi’s. The leadership was also changed; and by the way, who is leading that nation now? Who knows?
WHEN OLIGARCHS FIGHT
First oligarchs can be defined as such, rather than in the gently pandering Western phraseology. Crack down on the general public along with indulgence of hierarchy is embarrassingly Western.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
US funds will follow the interests of the American oligarchs….AKA American interests overseas…..Americans are reminded “we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic. Jobs have been sent overseas where manufacturing is controlled by foreigners, resulting in empty shelves and high prices in the USA. Demands for a 1-payer comprehensive public health care system by a majority of Americans are ignored by political recipients of industrial big-money campaign contributions. Most deadly is the Climate Change caused by abuse of nature and our environment. The USA feels like the engine of worldwide military aggression and oligarchical models.
