missing demographic
The topic of violence is loud today. Police states have been the characteristic of communist nations from capitalist nation perspectives. Recently people are dying in places that have typically been considered public in our nation.
PROTECT AND SERVE
Is this about policing or the environment? You choose. Some people believe desecration of the environment is promoted within a strong police state.
COMPLIANCE TO A RIGGED SYSTEM REQUIRED
One listened to portions of the US Conference of Mayors discussion as aired on C-Span
STORIES CHANGE WITH THE TELLER
History as taught in the US educational system is written from the perspective of the USA. The globalism that has been about economics has conveniently overlooked FACTS that would more realistically inform about the role of humanity in wars. While admitting that Russia is the enemy and shouldn’t have attacked Ukraine, one would be intellectually dishonest if one didn’t recognize the price paid by Russia in WWII, and that in the USA has been superimposed by a presumption of US supremacy in challenging Hitler.
RESPONSIBILITY AND WAR
Free will implies responsibility. War is a characteristic of neither free will or responsibility.
IS IMPERIALISM WAR?
When those who perpetuate predatory exploitation get to define their actions, many others suffer and are forced to do so in silence.
FRIGGED SYSTEM
In a republic run similarly to a Pyramid Scheme and not a democracy, the euphemism for price gouging appears to be inflation.
INFLATION = PRICE GOUGING
The worry of inflation would feel more easily handled if it was addressed as price gouging or monopoly, for which laws are in place. When it is labeled as inflation, the predatory behavior can be hidden behind the curtain of the wizard. This is one reason one is charmed by the adorable presumption as discussed on C-Span this week, that ubiquitous monitoring of the US public for anxiety should become commonplace. A better policy would be for competent governance that doesn’t undermine Americans and contribute to anxiety.
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.
FREE MARKETS AND WESTERN VALUES
It’s almost as though global oligarchs regardless of nation of origin have found an excellent distraction for the transfer of wealth from the 100% to the 1%
DEMOCRACIES DON’T SUPPRESS POLITICAL PARTIES
Howie Hawkins suggests New York State has the most suppressive rules to permit political Parties on the ballet. This paraphrase used is only that, and the actual phraseology of Howie Hawkins can be accessed at the end of this information. Here’s a fresh bit of thought raised in the Hawkins’ discussion; why do we have a Senate? His answer, we don’t. Listen to be awakened.

https://twitter.com/blackintheempir/status/1535364644847730688 –The U.S. that helped to overthrow the democratically elected President of Ukraine in 2014, is now fighting for the democracy in Ukraine as the democracy in Ukraine bans all of its opposition Parties.

C-Span hosted a call in about gun control and crime in the USA, with open lines broken down into the Republican Party, Democratic Party, Independents, and law enforcement, with the presupposition that callers needed to identify with one of those concepts.

Perpetration of misinformation that US citizens are required to identify with a political Party which is suspiciously close to dictatorship, one notices the context of this presentation that asks the question of which will best deal with crime. Why is so-called law enforcement included as an entity to fight crime, judging from reality in the USA in 2022?
FACTually a case can be made that each of the call-in choices specified by C-Span may be in certain times and places be the origin of criminal activity; or at least the origin of dictatorial presumption toward We The People. To enforce identification with one of those quite-often authoritarian sources may be a part of the problem of democracy that is surely in decline in the USA. In other words, indoctrination is open but clothed in notions of Free Speech.
The dictator feels to be the Democratic/Republican duopoly that is a Capitalist Party that mirrors the actions and control of the Communist Party of the Former USSR.
The acceptance of Sweden and Finland that are enthusiastic to be allowed entrance into NATO, and are wealthy socialist nations that offer universal health care to their citizens, can be a source of funding for the Ukraine military actions defending against Russia, permitting relief to US taxpayers to an extent that permits availability to US citizens the humanity of universal health care——

Some people in the USA mindlessly sweep together all Europeans under one label, the better to promote propaganda more than reality. This makes easier promotion of evermore military action under an inane heading of “protecting Western values”. Life is more complicated—-

GOOD LAW ENFORCEMENT
FACTually speaking, the USA could be viewed as dangerously militaristic and aggressive by some people.
DEFINE NATIONAL SECURITY
Mitch McConnell graced us with his view about expanded funding for The Military-Industrial Complex to enhance national security. The view from Mitch McConnell is predictable when one considers reports of his familial connections to commercial interests in China. National security for American oligarchs is often imagined in terms of “protecting American interests overseas” which is commercial interest in foreign nations.
DO DEMOCRACY AS WE SAY, NOT AS WE DO
Each of the Russian-Ukrainian military action and the Supreme Court confirmation hearing raises important questions about US policy. As we “spread democracy around the world”, how is democracy playing out in the USA?

IT’S LIKE THEY’RE ABOVE THE LAW
Legalized corruption in elections byway of Citizens United seems to have produced the culture in which politicians don’t think they are above the law, they are above the law.
Big-money campaign donors have highly questionable influence over local politicians. One doesn’t suggest money was an influence in the following scenario. But what happened to the governmental suggestion that politicians should avoid the appearance of corruption?
