SUICIDAL NATION
One feels enough hasn’t been stressed about the underlying rot of authoritarian governance that permeates the USA. Having lightly mentioned a topic that should be prominent in the concern of We The People, is the habit, as in addiction, of products foisted upon the public without assurance of safety.
FERCY JERKY DEMOCRACY
So how is banning action by AI different from the following——fantasies that included spreading disinformation, engineering a deadly virus, and… stealing nuclear access codes.——–different from current foreign policy and military action in the service of oligarchs? Is the deflection to reining in AI meant to take the pressure off of the dictatorial hierarchy of oligarchy? Technology has outpaced human ethics, but to target technology instead of ethical behavior is absurd.—–
WILL RULE BY AI BE WORSE THAN BY OLIGARCH?
A point can be made that we as a people are forgetting how to be human. Pockets of remembrance happen. Consider organic consumers
NATURAL OPULENCE
C-Span hosted a discussion about water this morning. Water is as important as are bees to the survival of everything.
NATURE AND MENTAL HEALTH
Some people have consistently recognized the association between good mental health and nature. A reason is that people are of nature. American re-education of the public into a consumer mindset has artificially substituted Establishment interests in place of nature to the extent of mental health harm to portions of the public and society in general.
COMMUNISM AND CAPITALISM
Censorship by capitalistic proponents doesn’t permit ideas to infiltrate into the notice of Americans. As one who has as little use for communism as for capitalism because they both seem hierarchical, yet censorship of ideas seem the danger.
WHEN LEGISLATORS ARE THE OBSTRUCTION
In the US democracy has been associated with capitalism. This is an erroneous framing by hierarchical Establishment that supports the capitalistic interest in power and control as opposed to the democratic local-community participation by the public. In the USA the authoritarian governing style of hierarchical capitalism is a foundation for dictatorship. In other words, the USA has lost the ability to lead or innovate. And so we need to notice success in other nations pertaining to public self-empowerment.
DID WE FORGET WE’RE HUMAN?
Mental health seems prominent in MSM recently. Who will define good mental health?
MENTAL HEALTH
Unstable mental health in the USA has been a topic of conversation lately. Perhaps we should speak of individual instances of inanity along with the societal attitudes that support instability.
LISTEN TO YOUR GRIFTER
Apparently grifters will say it as often as possible, hoping it will begin to sound true.
COMMON SENSE
Analytical thinking may be nothing more than common sense.

House Speaker McCarthy at the N.Y. Stock Exchange
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave remarks at the New York Stock Exchange on the U.S. economy and negotiations to raise the federal debt limit. This event experienced technical difficulties.–end of McCarthy stock exchange info–
A big-money interest-financed politician (byway of Citizens United) speaks to the NY Stock Exchange on the topic of the Reagan inspiration of Trickle Down Economics to presumably some of the same players who were bailed out by the US taxpayer after said players engineered the 2008 Financial Meltdown. McCarthy seems to imply (paraphrase)…”We couldn’t have done it without ya”.
And how are corporations, devoid of Corporate Character Revocation abilities by local community members, functioning in the new normal of lack of government regulation? Please consider thoughts from Status Coup.

MSM didn’t report on the decade-long NYS anti-fracking advocacy in which local citizens learned much more than they wanted about corruption. A few personal and untutored views. One welcomes correction where warranted—
*Fracking uses proprietary chemicals that are secret from local communities
*Proprietary seems to mean the chemicals used on people and nature are none of our business
*Pollution of several types are found in areas that are subjected to this industrialization
*Many local communities are protected by volunteer fire departments that understand common brush and house fires, but not so much industrial chemical fires
*Some local politicians seem more intent on courting big-money interests into local communities with the excuse of economic advancement than supporting local volunteer groups
*One may suppose a part of the draw may be big-money campaign donations to politicians
*The NYSEG Stadium absorbed curious amounts of local taxpayer funding for renovations when perhaps volunteer fire departments could have benefited from said funding
*NYSEG Stadium is now Mirabito Stadium
*https://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/news/politics/albany/2017/12/21/fracking-landowner-sues-new-york-seeks-compensation-ban/973209001/
*Local municipalities also needed to fend off LG fueling stations, one locally proposed next to a neighborhood school
Capitalism surely benefits from the Trickle-Down Economic system, but that either are beneficial to local communities is highly questionable.

New Brunswick, N.J. — Here are some of the senior administrators I did not see joining us on the picket lines set up by striking teachers and staff at Rutgers University. Brian Strom, the chancellor of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, whose salary is $925,932 a year. Steven Libutti, the vice chancellor for Cancer Programs for Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, who makes $929,411 a year. Patrick Hobbs, the director of athletics, who receives $999,688 a year. The president of the university, Jonathan Holloway, who is paid $1.2 million a year. Stephen Pikiell, the university’s head basketball coach, who has received a 445 percent pay raise since 2020 and currently gets $3 million a year. Gregory Schiano, the university’s head football coach, who pulls in $4 million a year.
Here is who I did see. Leslieann Hobayan, a poet and single mother with three teenage daughters who makes $28,000 a year teaching creative writing as an adjunct professor and could not afford health insurance last year. Hank Kalet, who, by teaching seven courses a semester at Rutgers, Brookdale Community College and Middlesex College as an adjunct professor (a full course load for a semester is normally four courses) as well as teaching summer courses, can sometimes make $50,000 a year. But even he only has health insurance through his wife’s employer. Josh Anthony and Yazmin Gomez, graduate workers in the history department who serve as teaching assistants, and who each struggle to survive on $25,000 a year, $1,300 of which is deducted by the university for library, gym and computer fees.

One is seriously interested in those who have degrees from institutions of high learning and pose as educated, who also carry un-payable levels of debt to finagle said degree.
Common sense would be better.

DEFINE WAR CRIME
Is it only a war if the destruction is against foreign governments, or does it include humanity and nature as the targets?
VITAL HUMANITY
Humanity is a much more interesting topic than capitalistic hierarchical Establishment wishes to acknowledge. “Western values” wrings out to cash, and that which must be removed is the heart and soul of people and nature, for profits. The system is effective because who doesn’t want cash, until you realize the cost is your soul and heart. Capitalistic hierarchical Establishment characters have recently alluded to the concern that AI would be dangerous to humanity, and one suggests also to nature. Better late than never to acknowledge.
AMERICANS MIGHT GET IDEAS
Open interest by politicians of the Poverty Draft emphasizes the reality.
This seems a response to those who notice anti-war protesters siding with Kiev without noticing ani-war protesters also have different views. Ultimately to stop military action is primary. War is a dust-up between groups of oligarchs with the pain inflicted upon humanity and nature. Some people believe systems that are hierarchical la the foundation for such competition that escalates into military action.https://mronline.org/2023/03/27/anti-war-protests-in-deutschland-and-the-need-to-change-course-on-kiev/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=anti-war-protests-in-deutschland-and-the-need-to-change-course-on-kiev&mc_cid=242fdb6a0b&mc_eid=2833cdb99b —
The protests are being spearheaded by figureheads such as Sahra Wagenknecht and veteran feminist campaigner, Alice Schwarzer, who are sending a clear signal that peace, amity, absence of hostilities and eschewing Cold War mentalities needs to take hold for a stable continent and world order. In a speech at the protest, Wagenknecht stated that a citizen’s initiative was the need of the hour as well as a new, strong and impactful peace movement across Germany. She also pointed out how demonstrators were united over grievances such as isolation and lack of representation by the Olaf Scholz administration. On the foreign policy front, the German public is also disillusioned by Foreign Minister Anna Baerbock’s doctrine of providing unfettered access to weapons.

American chauvinism seems a reason for attempting to insinuate NATO wherever possible. That the following fossil gas lobby was in Austria seems routine to those who understand the history of the region the USA is, in 2023, attempting to “dominate”.
https://popularresistance.org/hundreds-of-people-disrupt-fossil-gas-lobby-conference-in-austria/ —
Vienna, Austria – More than four hundred people protested against the European Gas Conference (EGC), blocking streets around the Mariott Hotel Vienna, the conference venue. The European Gas Conference is a three-day ‘high-level’ event where representatives of fossil fuel companies such as Shell, Total and BP meet with financial investors and political representatives to take decisions on major energy projects. Despite massive police presence trying to keep the conference behind closed doors, hundreds of people blocked the streets. The protesters demand an end to the fossil exploitation being planned behind closed doors at the EGC and call for comprehensive changes in order to create a just energy system.

What does it mean when Rachel Maddow and Lee Camp air views that are similar? Are they collaborating in Conspiracy Theories? Last night Maddow aired clips of protesters in Georgia (the nation) and also one believes Israel. Maddow seemed to suggest somnolent Americans might wish to take heed and follow suit due to authoritarian actions in
Georgia the state.
So why is Mr. Camp censored but not Maddow espousing similar sentiments. Could it be power and money? Actually Camp/Maddow are a fetching team.
