This is just racist nonsense against Jews. Ukraine has a huge corruption problem but blaming it on Jews has zero evidence to back it up. Try reading some actual history.
Fuck you and your Jewish god . . . Jewish messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only come to reinforce the old Jewish narrative. These are the same ideals.
The transnational, transracial, transsexual, transcultural ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond race, people, culture) and that are the daily sustenance of our schools, in the media, in our pop-culture, at our universities, and on our streets have our biosymbolic identity and our ethnic pride reduced to their minimal expression.
MW is misreading the entire geopolitical context. The US/NATO provoked this war, and can end this war through negotiation. Russia will not give up the Donbass and Crimea. Nor should they. Zelensky could have countered the neo-Nazi pressure to not negotiate a resolution, but he required US backing, which was not provided. The US is responsible for what ensued. This is a conflict that was wholly preventable if only the US could abdicate the lust for empire.
How do you see us ending this through negotiation at this point? Putin thinks he's winning. What makes you think the U.S. could get him to sit down at the table?
The U.S. can't bring him to the table, not after having thwarted all previous efforts for peace, not to mention deception regarding the Minsk Accords. Now that Russia is about to put and end to this conflict on the battlefield, despite all efforts by NATO to defeat it, there is talk about peaceful negotiations, even by Zelensky who is asking for "security guarantees " of all things. This is all that Russia was asking for in the very beginning which the U.S. refused!

China executes a coup in Mexico and for the next eight years sends them weapons, trains neo- nazzi Mexicans in combat against Americans, while not forgetting to build approx. 40 biolabs on Mexican territory. Would you still think that if US ask for "security guaranties" that would mean Mexico would be reduced to an American colony? Wouldn't you rather think that China should not have been there in the first place?
Your scenario is based on completely false premises. *None* of those things happened in Ukraine. The US was never there in the first place in Ukraine. There was no coup, the Ukrainian military are not "neo-Nazis", and the "biolabs" conspiracy theory is a farce. (It was in fact *Russia* that put biolabs in Ukraine back when it was still under their thumb as part of the Soviet Union.) And the only reason Ukrainian soldiers were being trained to "fight Russia" is that Russia had already invaded Ukraine on February 20, 2014.
You forgot some other "false premisses," Cal Lawson. US did not bomb the Nord Stream pipeline, because Germany is their ally, and they would never sell American liquified gas to their friends for more that 400% of its cost. All the articles and youtube clips in western media commenting on billions of $$$ pouring into US gas and oil corporations are propaganda - Russian actors are playing the part of big oil/gas CEOs boasting about the unprecedented profits. We all know that America cares about humanity and not about profits. We also know that Hunter Biden never worked for Ukrainian energy company Barisma and that his laptop is not his, but must have been planted by some Russian guy. After all, Joe Biden himself told us so, and he never lies. The compilation of himself laying on the record was all made up by those bad, bad Russians. And Angela Merkel recently admitting that Minsk 1 and 2 were signed to give the west time to train Ukrainians for a war with Russia - well, she must have been recruited by Russia to claim such a thing. Russians also impersonated Victoria Nuland on the phone choosing the next Ukrainian president with US ambassador in Kiev. The bad thing is that she admitted to it. But wait, that also has to be Russian propaganda. Oh, these Russians are so tricky!...They succeeded in building about 40 biolabs in Ukraine, not while Ukraine was still part of Soviet Union, but just in the last 8 years when Ukranian neo-nazzis started burning alive Russians in Odessa and Donbass. But wait, that is also a lie. Those 18, 000 dead civilians must have been killed by their own, just to make Ukrainians look bad. Thankfully, there are non-propagandised and not-brainwashed people like yourself, who see through it all. After all, you know that US brought prosperity to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and so many other countries. It was never about their resources and oil. It was always about bringing them freedom and democracy. Lucky Ukraine. They are the next one. And lucky you, who always knew that.
“Bio labs!” “Neo-nazis!” Lol. I lived in Ukraine almost three years and never saw a neo-nazi. They have fewer nazis in Ukraine than we do in the US. None are elected to parliament. The leading party is not neo-nazi.
A friend of mine worked in one of those American-made “bio lab.” The purpose of it was to check food and meat samples from the local farmers markets for swine-flu, bird-flu, etc.
You have found a wrong person to "educate," William L Brown, if this is your real name. My grandfather was in a concentration camp during WW2, while my grandmother was hiding a Jewish family of four. I was brought up with the real life stories of Germans not seeing or wanting to see how their Jewish neighbours were vanishing during the night, while during the day undesirable books were burned on the streets. And I can certainly recognise nazi symbols when I see them. The whole Azov battalion is tattooed with them and you never saw one? Even the US congress papers from before the war have black on white admission of neonazis resurgence in Ukraine. You can also watch the independent western journalist Eva Bartlett youtube channel for unedited footage of Ukrainian nazzis warcrimes, some proudly shared by the perpetrators themselves. Or go on the Ukrainian "Mirotvorec" site, which ironically means peacemaker. There is a list of people, who deserve to die for not supporting the war. Some of the familiar names from this kill-list include Roger Waters, Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson. The status of those, who do get killed is then changed into "liquidated." As for the biolabs, tell your friend to watch Victoria Nuland in congress admitting to their existence. As I said, you have chosen a wrong person to brainwash with your banal "lol" story. Whoever is paying you, should have prepared a better written "3-years in Ukraine" script.

I fully agree with you, the US refused to even seriously consider what Russia perceived as an existential threat with NATO surrounding Russia. This is all about the neo-cons wanting to destroy Russia, they state this in fact.
The narrative of NATO "surrounding" Russia is a farce. The reality is that it's Russia that is an existential threat to Ukraine, and to the rest of Europe.
1. Nobody is going to fight a war for Biden, he is dumber than Bush.
2. Nobody is marching off to war against the great Russian bear with a cum drunk asshole like you in charge.
3. We Germans are the largest ethnic group here in the USA . . . Germany has been an occupied country since 1947 . . . Don Rumsfeld was right with the comment ‘Europe has shifted on its axis’, the wrong side won WW2, and it is becoming clearer with each and every day . . . What has NATO done to defend Europe? Absolutely nothing . . .
My enemies are not in Moscow, Damascus, Tehran, Riyadh, or in some ethereal Teutonic boogeyman, my enemies are in Washington, Brussels, and Tel Aviv . . . Heil Hitler.
The US *didn't* provoke Russia. Russia treats Ukraine's very existence as an independent nation to be a "provocation" because Russia thinks it's entitled to rule Ukraine.
Grace is always the key to the resolution of problems. There is unfortunately scant chance the US would acknowledge that it did push NATO east. (Note: That does not actually reduce to provocation of Russia however...unless you're Putin). There is even less chance that Russia will "retract its claws"...because Putin is Putin. Both sides need to experience graciousness...and act on it.
The US *didn't* "push" NATO east. What happened is that the nations of Eastern Europe, being historical victims of Russian aggression and oppression, desperately begged NATO to allow them into the alliance.
Fuck you and your Jewish god . . . fight your own wars, you filthy fucking kike.

Russia is winning; Putin isnt all of Russia. Check it out, there is the Kremlin and many very smart people in the RF. Russia will and should dictate the terms of a peace settlement.
The banksters need a war desperately right now. They’ve tried so hard in Syria, and it just hasn’t worked. Then they got crazy Trump actually saying we should stay out of the Middle East and focus on our own problems, and people were listening . . . What’s a self-respecting globalist financier to do?
So, they sent their puppets like McCain, Kasich, Romney, Clinton, and Biden out to talk up the fight against “evil” and threaten Russia, hoping to fool those dumb white ‘Murkins one more time into sending their sons off to die for God and Country and Goldman Sachs.
I’m about to change my mind about you after having read your comments on Nina Turner. We know the outside (foreign) forces that sabotaged both of Nina’s house runs. It’s political suicide to run with even a hint against those lobbies, so if Nina endorses you and campaigns for you, I’m in. My red lines are neoliberalism, corporatism, warmongering and those other lobbies. I’d hope that eventually you could take power away from lobbies of all kinds. There’s no democracy with lobbies writing the legislation that legislators don’t get a chance to read.
I’d hope you put some thought into your cabinet. Jill Stein is the first I heard speak of a peace department. Scott Ritter is passionate about nuclear arms control. He’d make an excellent Russian ambassador as well. Of course you should pardon Julian Assange, Ed Snowden and John Kiriakou, likely others. We need a whole reset with Russia and China with an era of cooperation, not domination. It will be difficult to rebuild trust with Russia after decades of lies and deception, but I think Putin could be convinced by your sincerity and true desire for making amends, including paying for the reconstruction of the Nordstream pipelines. Of course holding Biden, Nuland, criminally responsible would be an appropriate gesture. Jill Stein’s Green New Deal continues to be a brilliant idea. Someone like her would be an excellent Secretary of State. Trump’s idea of taking out the deep state (the blob) is a great idea, but that will require more finesse than I can think of at the moment, but I’d suggest a private security detail in addition to the Secret Service. I hope you are a genuine proponent of human rights for all people worldwide and offering reparations to those we have harmed with our wars of choice. Americans are by no means the only ones entitled to such rights.
Depending on Nina, you now have my support. Your announcement speech was outstanding. Press forward, and realize MSM is not where most people get their information. I suggest in-person interviews with Scott Ritter, John Mearsheimer, and Col. Douglas MacGregor for better insight into Ukraine/Russia. I wish you the best of luck!
1. Nobody is going to fight a war for Biden, he is dumber than Bush.

Sorry I disagree...Putin would only use the delay in negotiations to give himself time to further his aims at world domination and everything he has said or promised has shown it to be all lies...those NATO countries like Poland would be next on Putin's insane drive for empire...Russia (Putin and his supporters) must be taken out and a new democratic plan instituted for the Russian people...if we give in now, China will see us as a paper tiger and war will follow the invasion of Taiwan...this is a tipping point...

Apparently you think the US and NATO provoked this war by *existing*. Russia won't be given a choice about "giving up" the Donbas and Crimea. Nor should they be. Russia has absolutely no claim to them. It's Russia's lust for empire that caused this war.
That’s just not true. Crimea is by far ethnic Russian, and they voted to remain in Russia, as did the majority of ethnic groups in the Donbas. To assume you can force them back into genocidal antiRussian Ukraine, the people who have killed them in the thousands would be the height of foolishness and cruelty.
The "votes" you refer to were blatant shams. Being majority "ethnic Russian" (due to genocide of the native Crimean Tatars) doesn't give Russia a valid claim to Crimea. And there absolutely is not a majority in Donbas supporting annexation by Russia. (Just FYI, the majority of Donbas is ethnic Ukrainian.) And it's Russia that's committing genocide now in the Ukrainian territories that they occupy.
Just a suggestion: don't waste time on people like Cal Lawson, who have been educated by mainstream media and cannot perform a single check-up on their own, not to mention a proper, independent research. He never explains his claims, because he simply "knows" what is true and what is not. Who can argue with that? I have to give him a credit though. Cal Lawson helped me to understand how Hitler and his chief propagandist Goebbels succeeded in brainwashing the entire German population in late 1930-ies. Just relentlessly repeat the same lie, while ignoring or censoring any evidence to the contrary.

You sound like a Russiagater. My sources are independent with excellent reputations for reporting truth. You should look into Eva Bartlett who has reported on Israel/Palestine accurately, who was an eyewitness and interviewed voters in the Donbas. The referendum absolutely was NOT a sham. Scott Ritter is another excellent source who was sidelined by the Establishment for telling the truth about Iraq’s nonexistent WMDs. Try John Mearsheimer and Colonel Douglas MacGregor. Peel yourself off MSM. They lie, and have lied since the Vietnam War, at least.
Ritter was falsely accused and imprisoned for going against the MIC narrative. The shallowness of your knowledge is stunning. He could not be convinced to admit to something he did not do, and yet he was paroled. Convicts aren’t allowed parole if they don’t admit their crimes. He succeeded in having his file unsealed, and the parole board found that he was wrongfully convicted. Do a little reading.

Володимир Зеленский — израильский оперативник... Украина должна забыть о Крыме и НАТО... Власть на Украине находится в сговоре с олигархами, им никто не противостоит. Армия Украины обстреливает мирные города, украинская армия убивает мирных жителей... и это факт.
Хиллари Клинтон пыталась украсть выборы в России с некоммерческими организациями, как дома в Америке, но Владимир Путин победил ей, поэтому она вызвали все трудности с глупой панк-рок-группой и гомосексуалистами на Олимпиаде в Сочи.
Горькие марксисты ненавидят кавказских людей... Кавказские горы находятся в России? У людей из России и США много общих интересов... Мы должны начать новую космческую программу с новой эрой сотрудничества.
Еврейские банкиры наводнили Европу с мусульманами и замусорили америку мусором из третиьего мира... Евреи нечистые бесы, как турки... ГИТЛЕР БЫЛ ПРАВ.
Volodymyr Zelensky is an Israeli operative . . . Ukraine must forget about Crimea and NATO... The authorities in Ukraine are in collusion with the oligarchs, no one opposes them. The Ukrainian army is shelling peaceful cities, the Ukrainian army is killing civilians . . . and this is a fact.
Hillary Clinton tried to steal the election in Russia with non-profits like back home in America, but Vladimir Putin defeated her, so she caused all the trouble with a stupid punk rock band and homosexuals at the Sochi Olympics.
Bitter Marxists hate Caucasian people . . . Are the Caucasus Mountains in Russia? People from Russia and the USA have many common interests . . . We must start a new space program with a new era of cooperation.
Jewish bankers flooded Europe with Muslims and littered America with Third World garbage. Jews are unclean demons, like Turks . . . HITLER WAS RIGHT.
You are delusional! Putin is a dictator attempting to destroy the Ukraine people and broaden his empire the same as Hitler attempted to do. Fools like you supported Hitler until his crazy brought down and destroyed his own country. In the end he blamed his own people for his greed and stupidity. Putin kills his critics and allows no free speech from Russian people. Putin is the Hitler of our generation.

Jack Matlock is a shill for Russia, peddling the Russian narrative that Ukraine isn't a real nation and insisting that Russian imperialism is somehow completely reasonable.
You think everyone is a shill for Russia. Your brain is poisoned by the Russiagate scam. IT DIDN’T HAPPEN. It was a Hillary Campaign/Security State scheme. Russia has no imperialist ambitions. They do have a vital interest in their own security, and the US and NATO provoked them, over decades, to finally take action. Hands off Ukraine and Russia. It’s their conflict to resolve. Our pouring more arms in to Ukraine serves only to spill more blood. Enough.
Disappointing. We are the only power that could stop this -- either thru force or negotiation. And we're not doing it. Why? This slow play is more profitable. If one believes it's because our leaders are so wise and are playing 4-D chess...that our efforts will not push Putin into a nuclear response because we know just what we're doing...all I can say is look how well our military gamemenship has turned out over the past 70 years....so, so sad.
The situation is messy. I presume negotiators would have to agree that Ukraine not become part of NATO. The rest would have to be worked out in the negotiations.
That’s for the near term. The US is now well down the track of provoking China as well. So the deeper issue is the attitudes (and money) that drive US policy.

I was an officer in the Navy but that was long ago. And 'm not a tactician, but, If we couldn't stop it by force what a ridiculous amount of money we've spent over the past 70 years - true enough. For me, certainly with 200 bases around the world and a military budget 12 times Russia's it would be only rational to assume we could indeed stop them. And that's not even counting NATO's forces. It would have been much simpler a year ago I would imagine...but not as profitable. I was also a diplomat once upon a time but I don't pretend to know what would conclude a peace...but we should be visibly at the table. I don't know of course but it appears we're not even quietly conducting negotiations. What we should at a minimum offer in my opinion is 1) no further expansion of NATO and 2) withdrawal of missile systems from Poland and Romania. If we did that and it wasn't sufficient it would prove what we've been saying - that this wasn't about Russia's legitimate national security concerns. Which I tend to believe was the cause of the invasion. It would hurt sales though and we can't have that. Closing anectdote - a late-20s Russian woman was biking thru the USA last summer and thru a hospitality website where folks offer a place to camp and a shower some friends were hosting her. We had dinner and I asked her why Putin was doing this. She said no one really knows of course -- but many there in Russia believe that our placement of missiles now barely gives him time to get into a bunker...missiles in Ukraine would mean he couldn't take cover...and so it goes. - thanks for asking -- I so hope that you run and I would be a tireless volunteer.
We should never have put those missiles in Poland or Romania. That's totally our bad. Regarding expanding NATO, all this has made MORE countries want to be part of it now! And from their perspective, you sort of see why. It's totally a catch 22. Thanks for your post. And thank you for the support.
Marianne, not only are we in a catch 22 situation but on the precipice of something far worse: nuclear war. When I was in college, we used to talk about French philosopher Nostradamus--he predicted that eventually Russia and China would join together and turn against the Western world. I pray this current tragic situation in Ukraine doesn't manifest something that awful. And your right to say we have been complicit in partly provoking this situation since we've been dabbling in war profiteering there since the takeover in Crimea. So now we are in a mess but the defense stocks keep raking in money while the Ukrainians are harmed; plus, hired paramilitary make more money than Ukrainian soldiers too. So what's missing is a collective gathering of people from around the world to object to this madness. And we must move into a new paradigm, whereby a Department of Peace, as you propose, gets more financing than military weapons! Your on the right path. Blessing to you, Joan
Hi Joan. As well as a Department of Peace we need to make World Peace Day on Sept 21 significant. At the moment it passes by each year like an unnoticed little cloud. I have tried to do something about this in my local community in Australia but we need the U.S. to lead the way because it is a super power. Imagine if everyone on earth stopped for a few minutes at the same time to be at peace. Sept 21 should be the most important day on the calendar. Perhaps a global public holiday? We need unity. I mention this to you because I know you care and may be in a position to promote this day in your country. Phil 😊✨😊✨😊
Hi Phil, I think your idea has merit. Americans should be asking their local, state, and national lawmakers to speak out on September 21 in favor worldwide peace! It's the least they can do. War is the old paradigm and they can promote a new one of peace and justice for all. Let's encourage all on Marianne's substack to join with us in this quest whether one lives in the U.S. or anywhere on our planet where one is safe to express their views. Peace! Joan
Marianne I was a Bernie volunteer. I want to support you I am very inspired by the economic justice message and targeting corporate tyranny. But I am a lifelong follower of Dr. King and am too well read in Chomsky. I can't join you if you are just with the Ukraine chorus. Please - make a more distinctive policy than you have. Be courageous. Propose peace. Propose something that distinguishes you from the Neocons and the Clintons! Obama opposed escalation against Russia in Ukraine. Was he wrong? We are in a warmonger media consensus at the moment but this will change as the peace movement grows. Articulate a clearer politics so that Trump isn't running to your left and you are in the position of defending the military industrial complex. FDR and the New Deal political faction faced huge pushback from the corporations and military in the McCarthy era culminating in the coup against Kennedy, who was trying to break with the Dulles imperialist faction and pursue peace. You are in the FDR-JFK tradition but you are not seeing how Ukraine is an excuse for war against Russia. Read the Rand corporation report. Read Aaron Maté.. Read Devils Chessboard. Become more aware of this. It's not worth it to just follow the herd on Ukraine. The peace movement is growing. I can't support you if you are standing with Clinton and Kristol and Nulland and the rest. As Chomsky makes clear, the moral argument the humanitarian argument has been a cover for imperialist adventure since the NATO war in the Balkans. Don't fall for it. I want to join your campaign as a supporter I really do. But it breaks my heart to see you not articulate your own maverick renegade position on this!
Will Hall, I think you have valid concerns on what's behind the debacle. I concur that Marianne be more specific than she has currently been regarding this topic. I think she has much more to say in the weeks ahead on it and other tipping points as well.
The GOP candidates have come out almost unanimously against the Ukraine war, with the exception of Christie. Many are hawkish on China, but it is going to be very difficult for Marianne to be to the right of the GOP on this. That's just insane. Marianne's Twitter is a lot more nuanced than this essay, and the interview with Kyle and Kristal was pretty good about not putting neocon hawks in the room with her foreign policy decisions, but I am hoping that we will see a real peace plan from Marianne soon. Perhaps Marianne is waiting for the media consensus to break up? Which will definitely start to happen now that we have so many GOP primary candidates against the Ukraine war. Then her position as a peace voice could be more acceptable - though there is no way, as she knows, her candidacy won't come under attack from the corporate Dems. Whatever happens we need Marianne's integrity and consistency as a pro-peace candidate, not positions like the one in this essay. Hoping she has the humility to take her position in a new direction, where it needs to be - the wing of peace and honoring the anti-war politics of Dr. King.

I see no reason to concede anything to Putin as a precondition to talks. We should express our complete support for the Ukrainian position which is status quo ante 2014 and secure borders guaranteed by NATO, of which Ukraine would be a member along with Sweden and Finland. No bully has ever been deterred by giving him even a bit of what he wants and there's no reason to believe that Putin would be the first. I'd also expedite the delivery and training for the Ukrainians to use F-16s and main battle tanks to clarify that our support isn't just verbal. Peace, whether departmentalized or not, is much more secure from a position of strength, moral rectitude and self-confidence than otherwise.

It’s too late to stop this by force without causing a nuclear response. It’s too late to stop it by negotiations because the U.S. and NATO have lied to Russia for so long and in so many important ways that they know they do not have an honest partner with whom to negotiate. Russia will have what they want in Ukraine-- they will be demilitarized and denazified, and they will take the ethnic Russian regions of the Donbas and Crimea. The people there WANT to be part of the Russian Federation. There’s nothing to be done but to stop arming Ukraine. That will only prolong the pain Ukraine will continue to experience. The war will be resolved on Russia’s terms, not ours. I hope we can learn our lesson that we are no longer the world’s hegemon. Other nations are no longer willing to be forced to follow our lead. We have “managed” the world badly since WWII. A different power structure is required.

What does Israeli operative Volodymyr Zelensky have in common with Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX), Secretary Janet L. Yellen (U.S. Treasury), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Larry Fink (BlackRock), and Benjamin Netanyahu???
This country has made too many bad decisions with imperialist goals. By continuing to fund this war and others (“Israel”/Palestine) we extend the suffering of Ukrainians and Palestinians. Russia is entitled to a zone of neutrality on its borders. Palestinians are entitled to their own nation, free of Zionist land grabs and a continuation of the Nakba. Ukraine is not our business. Without US interference, provocation and ignoring the legitimate need for Russian security, this war would not have happened. Only the Ukrainians will suffer if we keep pouring in arms, unless we push Russia into a corner, at which point it’s likely to become a nuclear holocaust. Start practicing what you preach. Love doesn’t bomb other countries.
Marianne, I would say the best way to end the war in Ukraine is to end the deepest reason empires invade their neighbors namely, their economies always become destabilized by PRIVATE debt so they think invading and stealing their neighbors' assets will solve that ever recurring problem. Except it doesn't of course...because we haven't recognized the new monetary and economic paradigm and how to most efficaciously apply it. Hence the deepest problems of modern economies are never truly resolved. Well, I've written a book that identifies that new paradigm and how it could be best implemented. It's Called Wisdomics-Gracenomics: The Monetary Paradigm and Its Policies. I'd love to engage you and others here and elsewhere regarding it. Its policies integrate the economic self interests of traditionally opposed political constituencies while forwarding and better enabling an underlying liberal agenda that I think is actually inherent in everyone.
The title is derived from the fact that historically, new paradigms are always integrative, transformative phenomena.
Wisdom is the superlative human mental discipline, not science...because even though science is wonderful, deliciously interesting and NECESSARY...good, open minded, breakthrough science exists entirely within the mindset/digestive tract of Wisdom. In other words it (Wisdom) is the larger inclusive of science set.
Also historically, it can be shown that every new paradigm's effects have been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in love in action, and as policy is the action of systems, bringing the gracious policies of Wisdomics-Gracenomics is the deeper and transformative economic solution.
I might add that the major economic reforms of UBI, MMT, Steve Keen's Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis and Ellen Brown's Public Banking all align perfectly with the new monetary paradigm...they just haven't cognited on the specific new concept and how to best apply it in the economy so as to integrate and further their separate agendas.
Again, would love to engage you and any others here.
John Fullerton could be an ally. He was a executive at J.P. Morgan and went on to found Capital Management, a kind of think tank for a different way. My podcast with him: https://SueSpeaksPodcast.com. Here's John: "I discovered reading Evelyn Underhill's "Mysticism" (now a couple years ago) that there were three types of Christian Mystics - the pilgrim in search of God, those who fall in love with God and commit to a marriage with God, and the third type where it's more about inner transformation. This third type were the Alchemists, and to quote Underhill, 'Regeneration was their watchword.' As the one human on this planet (to my knowledge) who has dedicated his life work to give birth to Regenerative Economics (aligned with the patterns and principles of living systems) in order to inspire and catalyze the transformation of our global economic and financial systems to become a constructive part of and not apart from the evolutionary process of (it turns out) the entire universe, this blew my mind."
Thanks for replying Sue. I'll listen to the Fullerton podcast. Your quote from John above aligns with my goals for the economy and for human consciousness raising. Graciousness is acting with love and that ought be the personal goal of everyone. And if we could create a continual temporal universe opportunity to feel/self actualize gratitude every time we went to the store to purchase something, which the policies in Wisdomics-Gracenomics effectively do...just how beneficial could an economy of such grace be, both personally and economically?
"We [=US] are the only power that could stop this....And we're not doing it. Why?"
The answer is simple - because "we" [=US] have started this 'conundrum' by not respecting the promise given to Gorbachov after the unification of the East and West Germany. Instead, US expanded NATO to the Russian border and in 2014 organised a successful regime change in Ukraine, but the real goal is a regime change in Russia. Good luck with that. Putin's approval is about 80%. Our western leaders can only dream about such numbers.
The plain fact is that the US provoked Putin for two decades by expanding NATO towards Russia, with the determination to make Ukraine a heavily armed hostile power on the Russian border as the last straw. Although not widely reported in the US press, prior to the incursion the Russians proposed a treaty that would have diffused the situation. The proposal was ignored. Putin demonstrated how seriously he took the threat of having native on his border by sending troops into Ukraine.
Thus, if we were to ask. “Who initiated the aggression first?” it is the US. If we were to ask, “Why has the small cadre of leaders in the US who have driven NATO policy been aggressively hostile towards Russia for so many years?” I’m sure I do not know. At one point Putin suggested that Russia should join NATO.
Both sides are intransigent. A likely outcome, I think, is nuclear war.
But since Russia is obviously the active aggressor, then obviously we should not let them get away with it even if the outcome is nuclear annihilation of San Francisco, New York, London, Pine Gap (the US military intelligence base here in Australia), and Sydney. Better that than to admit we were wrong.
Years ago I made a heartfelt presentation to a NYS legislative subcommittee hearing, as a subject matter expert. When I finished, a reported pulled me out of chamber to interview me. He said that he loved my presentation, but was I for the proposed legislation, or against it? Similarly, I am now not sure of sarcasm, even my own.
Perfectly said. Thank you, Marianne.

Jewish Corruption in Ukraine . . . by Andrew Joyce, Ph.D.
❝. . . the present conflict is a huge distraction from the fact that, for decades, the biggest threat to Ukraine hasn’t been Russia, but financiers and speculators operating with impunity within Ukraine’s borders to exploit ethnic Ukrainians and plunder their resources.❞
https://www.theoccidentalobserver.net/2023/02/17/jewish-corruption-in-ukraine/
This is just racist nonsense against Jews. Ukraine has a huge corruption problem but blaming it on Jews has zero evidence to back it up. Try reading some actual history.
Fuck you and your Jewish god . . . Jewish messianism has been spreading its poisonous message among us for nearly two thousand years. Democratic and communist universalisms are more recent, but they have only come to reinforce the old Jewish narrative. These are the same ideals.
The transnational, transracial, transsexual, transcultural ideals that these ideologies preach to us (beyond race, people, culture) and that are the daily sustenance of our schools, in the media, in our pop-culture, at our universities, and on our streets have our biosymbolic identity and our ethnic pride reduced to their minimal expression.
MW is misreading the entire geopolitical context. The US/NATO provoked this war, and can end this war through negotiation. Russia will not give up the Donbass and Crimea. Nor should they. Zelensky could have countered the neo-Nazi pressure to not negotiate a resolution, but he required US backing, which was not provided. The US is responsible for what ensued. This is a conflict that was wholly preventable if only the US could abdicate the lust for empire.
How do you see us ending this through negotiation at this point? Putin thinks he's winning. What makes you think the U.S. could get him to sit down at the table?
Honest question.
The U.S. can't bring him to the table, not after having thwarted all previous efforts for peace, not to mention deception regarding the Minsk Accords. Now that Russia is about to put and end to this conflict on the battlefield, despite all efforts by NATO to defeat it, there is talk about peaceful negotiations, even by Zelensky who is asking for "security guarantees " of all things. This is all that Russia was asking for in the very beginning which the U.S. refused!
The "security guarantees" that Russia was demanding in the very beginning involved Ukraine being reduced to a Russian colony.
Thus the problem.

What about this scenario:
China executes a coup in Mexico and for the next eight years sends them weapons, trains neo- nazzi Mexicans in combat against Americans, while not forgetting to build approx. 40 biolabs on Mexican territory. Would you still think that if US ask for "security guaranties" that would mean Mexico would be reduced to an American colony? Wouldn't you rather think that China should not have been there in the first place?
Your scenario is based on completely false premises. *None* of those things happened in Ukraine. The US was never there in the first place in Ukraine. There was no coup, the Ukrainian military are not "neo-Nazis", and the "biolabs" conspiracy theory is a farce. (It was in fact *Russia* that put biolabs in Ukraine back when it was still under their thumb as part of the Soviet Union.) And the only reason Ukrainian soldiers were being trained to "fight Russia" is that Russia had already invaded Ukraine on February 20, 2014.

You forgot some other "false premisses," Cal Lawson. US did not bomb the Nord Stream pipeline, because Germany is their ally, and they would never sell American liquified gas to their friends for more that 400% of its cost. All the articles and youtube clips in western media commenting on billions of $$$ pouring into US gas and oil corporations are propaganda - Russian actors are playing the part of big oil/gas CEOs boasting about the unprecedented profits. We all know that America cares about humanity and not about profits. We also know that Hunter Biden never worked for Ukrainian energy company Barisma and that his laptop is not his, but must have been planted by some Russian guy. After all, Joe Biden himself told us so, and he never lies. The compilation of himself laying on the record was all made up by those bad, bad Russians. And Angela Merkel recently admitting that Minsk 1 and 2 were signed to give the west time to train Ukrainians for a war with Russia - well, she must have been recruited by Russia to claim such a thing. Russians also impersonated Victoria Nuland on the phone choosing the next Ukrainian president with US ambassador in Kiev. The bad thing is that she admitted to it. But wait, that also has to be Russian propaganda. Oh, these Russians are so tricky!...They succeeded in building about 40 biolabs in Ukraine, not while Ukraine was still part of Soviet Union, but just in the last 8 years when Ukranian neo-nazzis started burning alive Russians in Odessa and Donbass. But wait, that is also a lie. Those 18, 000 dead civilians must have been killed by their own, just to make Ukrainians look bad. Thankfully, there are non-propagandised and not-brainwashed people like yourself, who see through it all. After all, you know that US brought prosperity to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and so many other countries. It was never about their resources and oil. It was always about bringing them freedom and democracy. Lucky Ukraine. They are the next one. And lucky you, who always knew that.
Well said!
“Bio labs!” “Neo-nazis!” Lol. I lived in Ukraine almost three years and never saw a neo-nazi. They have fewer nazis in Ukraine than we do in the US. None are elected to parliament. The leading party is not neo-nazi.
A friend of mine worked in one of those American-made “bio lab.” The purpose of it was to check food and meat samples from the local farmers markets for swine-flu, bird-flu, etc.
You have found a wrong person to "educate," William L Brown, if this is your real name. My grandfather was in a concentration camp during WW2, while my grandmother was hiding a Jewish family of four. I was brought up with the real life stories of Germans not seeing or wanting to see how their Jewish neighbours were vanishing during the night, while during the day undesirable books were burned on the streets. And I can certainly recognise nazi symbols when I see them. The whole Azov battalion is tattooed with them and you never saw one? Even the US congress papers from before the war have black on white admission of neonazis resurgence in Ukraine. You can also watch the independent western journalist Eva Bartlett youtube channel for unedited footage of Ukrainian nazzis warcrimes, some proudly shared by the perpetrators themselves. Or go on the Ukrainian "Mirotvorec" site, which ironically means peacemaker. There is a list of people, who deserve to die for not supporting the war. Some of the familiar names from this kill-list include Roger Waters, Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson. The status of those, who do get killed is then changed into "liquidated." As for the biolabs, tell your friend to watch Victoria Nuland in congress admitting to their existence. As I said, you have chosen a wrong person to brainwash with your banal "lol" story. Whoever is paying you, should have prepared a better written "3-years in Ukraine" script.
Volodymyr Zelensky is an Israeli operative.
That’s not accurate. Russia is demanding Ukraine’s neutrality only. Stop being dramatic.
Their definition of "neutrality" is for Ukraine to be disarmed and submissive. And it's not up to Russia whether Ukraine will be neutral.

I fully agree with you, the US refused to even seriously consider what Russia perceived as an existential threat with NATO surrounding Russia. This is all about the neo-cons wanting to destroy Russia, they state this in fact.
The narrative of NATO "surrounding" Russia is a farce. The reality is that it's Russia that is an existential threat to Ukraine, and to the rest of Europe.
Ukraine wasn’t even requesting NATO membership until they were attacked. And as a separate country they had every right to choose their own allies.

Well, yes, grace is required. Grace for the US to acknowledge that it provoked Russia, and for Russia to retract its claws.
The US *didn't* provoke Russia. Russia treats Ukraine's very existence as an independent nation to be a "provocation" because Russia thinks it's entitled to rule Ukraine.
More likely that you're on the GRU payroll.
Grace is always the key to the resolution of problems. There is unfortunately scant chance the US would acknowledge that it did push NATO east. (Note: That does not actually reduce to provocation of Russia however...unless you're Putin). There is even less chance that Russia will "retract its claws"...because Putin is Putin. Both sides need to experience graciousness...and act on it.
The US *didn't* "push" NATO east. What happened is that the nations of Eastern Europe, being historical victims of Russian aggression and oppression, desperately begged NATO to allow them into the alliance.

I’m about to change my mind about you after having read your comments on Nina Turner. We know the outside (foreign) forces that sabotaged both of Nina’s house runs. It’s political suicide to run with even a hint against those lobbies, so if Nina endorses you and campaigns for you, I’m in. My red lines are neoliberalism, corporatism, warmongering and those other lobbies. I’d hope that eventually you could take power away from lobbies of all kinds. There’s no democracy with lobbies writing the legislation that legislators don’t get a chance to read.
I’d hope you put some thought into your cabinet. Jill Stein is the first I heard speak of a peace department. Scott Ritter is passionate about nuclear arms control. He’d make an excellent Russian ambassador as well. Of course you should pardon Julian Assange, Ed Snowden and John Kiriakou, likely others. We need a whole reset with Russia and China with an era of cooperation, not domination. It will be difficult to rebuild trust with Russia after decades of lies and deception, but I think Putin could be convinced by your sincerity and true desire for making amends, including paying for the reconstruction of the Nordstream pipelines. Of course holding Biden, Nuland, criminally responsible would be an appropriate gesture. Jill Stein’s Green New Deal continues to be a brilliant idea. Someone like her would be an excellent Secretary of State. Trump’s idea of taking out the deep state (the blob) is a great idea, but that will require more finesse than I can think of at the moment, but I’d suggest a private security detail in addition to the Secret Service. I hope you are a genuine proponent of human rights for all people worldwide and offering reparations to those we have harmed with our wars of choice. Americans are by no means the only ones entitled to such rights.
Depending on Nina, you now have my support. Your announcement speech was outstanding. Press forward, and realize MSM is not where most people get their information. I suggest in-person interviews with Scott Ritter, John Mearsheimer, and Col. Douglas MacGregor for better insight into Ukraine/Russia. I wish you the best of luck!

Sorry I disagree...Putin would only use the delay in negotiations to give himself time to further his aims at world domination and everything he has said or promised has shown it to be all lies...those NATO countries like Poland would be next on Putin's insane drive for empire...Russia (Putin and his supporters) must be taken out and a new democratic plan instituted for the Russian people...if we give in now, China will see us as a paper tiger and war will follow the invasion of Taiwan...this is a tipping point...

Apparently you think the US and NATO provoked this war by *existing*. Russia won't be given a choice about "giving up" the Donbas and Crimea. Nor should they be. Russia has absolutely no claim to them. It's Russia's lust for empire that caused this war.
That’s just not true. Crimea is by far ethnic Russian, and they voted to remain in Russia, as did the majority of ethnic groups in the Donbas. To assume you can force them back into genocidal antiRussian Ukraine, the people who have killed them in the thousands would be the height of foolishness and cruelty.
The "votes" you refer to were blatant shams. Being majority "ethnic Russian" (due to genocide of the native Crimean Tatars) doesn't give Russia a valid claim to Crimea. And there absolutely is not a majority in Donbas supporting annexation by Russia. (Just FYI, the majority of Donbas is ethnic Ukrainian.) And it's Russia that's committing genocide now in the Ukrainian territories that they occupy.
That just isn’t true. Where are you getting your information? MSNBC???
Just a suggestion: don't waste time on people like Cal Lawson, who have been educated by mainstream media and cannot perform a single check-up on their own, not to mention a proper, independent research. He never explains his claims, because he simply "knows" what is true and what is not. Who can argue with that? I have to give him a credit though. Cal Lawson helped me to understand how Hitler and his chief propagandist Goebbels succeeded in brainwashing the entire German population in late 1930-ies. Just relentlessly repeat the same lie, while ignoring or censoring any evidence to the contrary.
You personify the propagandized rubes. You blindly believe the lies told to you by the Hitler of the 21st century.
It absolutely is true, no matter what you've been told by RT and TASS.

You sound like a Russiagater. My sources are independent with excellent reputations for reporting truth. You should look into Eva Bartlett who has reported on Israel/Palestine accurately, who was an eyewitness and interviewed voters in the Donbas. The referendum absolutely was NOT a sham. Scott Ritter is another excellent source who was sidelined by the Establishment for telling the truth about Iraq’s nonexistent WMDs. Try John Mearsheimer and Colonel Douglas MacGregor. Peel yourself off MSM. They lie, and have lied since the Vietnam War, at least.
Eva Bartlett is an RT employee who's lived in Russia for years now. She's far from independent, unless you mean independent from reality.
Scott Ritter (a twice-convicted pedophile) is far from credible, and the same is true of the treasonous Russia shill Douglas Macgregor.
It's no surprise that you believe the nonsense that you're posting, given the sources you've been relying on.
Ritter was falsely accused and imprisoned for going against the MIC narrative. The shallowness of your knowledge is stunning. He could not be convinced to admit to something he did not do, and yet he was paroled. Convicts aren’t allowed parole if they don’t admit their crimes. He succeeded in having his file unsealed, and the parole board found that he was wrongfully convicted. Do a little reading.

Mr. Gannett,
You are delusional! Putin is a dictator attempting to destroy the Ukraine people and broaden his empire the same as Hitler attempted to do. Fools like you supported Hitler until his crazy brought down and destroyed his own country. In the end he blamed his own people for his greed and stupidity. Putin kills his critics and allows no free speech from Russian people. Putin is the Hitler of our generation.

I totally agree with you, this truth is evident by reading many people who have knowledge, including Jack Matlock, former US ambassador to Russia.
Jack Matlock is a shill for Russia, peddling the Russian narrative that Ukraine isn't a real nation and insisting that Russian imperialism is somehow completely reasonable.
You think everyone is a shill for Russia. Your brain is poisoned by the Russiagate scam. IT DIDN’T HAPPEN. It was a Hillary Campaign/Security State scheme. Russia has no imperialist ambitions. They do have a vital interest in their own security, and the US and NATO provoked them, over decades, to finally take action. Hands off Ukraine and Russia. It’s their conflict to resolve. Our pouring more arms in to Ukraine serves only to spill more blood. Enough.

Disappointing. We are the only power that could stop this -- either thru force or negotiation. And we're not doing it. Why? This slow play is more profitable. If one believes it's because our leaders are so wise and are playing 4-D chess...that our efforts will not push Putin into a nuclear response because we know just what we're doing...all I can say is look how well our military gamemenship has turned out over the past 70 years....so, so sad.
How do you think we could stop this by force? And how do you think we can stop this by negotiation?
The situation is messy. I presume negotiators would have to agree that Ukraine not become part of NATO. The rest would have to be worked out in the negotiations.
That’s for the near term. The US is now well down the track of provoking China as well. So the deeper issue is the attitudes (and money) that drive US policy.

I was an officer in the Navy but that was long ago. And 'm not a tactician, but, If we couldn't stop it by force what a ridiculous amount of money we've spent over the past 70 years - true enough. For me, certainly with 200 bases around the world and a military budget 12 times Russia's it would be only rational to assume we could indeed stop them. And that's not even counting NATO's forces. It would have been much simpler a year ago I would imagine...but not as profitable. I was also a diplomat once upon a time but I don't pretend to know what would conclude a peace...but we should be visibly at the table. I don't know of course but it appears we're not even quietly conducting negotiations. What we should at a minimum offer in my opinion is 1) no further expansion of NATO and 2) withdrawal of missile systems from Poland and Romania. If we did that and it wasn't sufficient it would prove what we've been saying - that this wasn't about Russia's legitimate national security concerns. Which I tend to believe was the cause of the invasion. It would hurt sales though and we can't have that. Closing anectdote - a late-20s Russian woman was biking thru the USA last summer and thru a hospitality website where folks offer a place to camp and a shower some friends were hosting her. We had dinner and I asked her why Putin was doing this. She said no one really knows of course -- but many there in Russia believe that our placement of missiles now barely gives him time to get into a bunker...missiles in Ukraine would mean he couldn't take cover...and so it goes. - thanks for asking -- I so hope that you run and I would be a tireless volunteer.
We should never have put those missiles in Poland or Romania. That's totally our bad. Regarding expanding NATO, all this has made MORE countries want to be part of it now! And from their perspective, you sort of see why. It's totally a catch 22. Thanks for your post. And thank you for the support.
Marianne, not only are we in a catch 22 situation but on the precipice of something far worse: nuclear war. When I was in college, we used to talk about French philosopher Nostradamus--he predicted that eventually Russia and China would join together and turn against the Western world. I pray this current tragic situation in Ukraine doesn't manifest something that awful. And your right to say we have been complicit in partly provoking this situation since we've been dabbling in war profiteering there since the takeover in Crimea. So now we are in a mess but the defense stocks keep raking in money while the Ukrainians are harmed; plus, hired paramilitary make more money than Ukrainian soldiers too. So what's missing is a collective gathering of people from around the world to object to this madness. And we must move into a new paradigm, whereby a Department of Peace, as you propose, gets more financing than military weapons! Your on the right path. Blessing to you, Joan
Hi Joan. As well as a Department of Peace we need to make World Peace Day on Sept 21 significant. At the moment it passes by each year like an unnoticed little cloud. I have tried to do something about this in my local community in Australia but we need the U.S. to lead the way because it is a super power. Imagine if everyone on earth stopped for a few minutes at the same time to be at peace. Sept 21 should be the most important day on the calendar. Perhaps a global public holiday? We need unity. I mention this to you because I know you care and may be in a position to promote this day in your country. Phil 😊✨😊✨😊
Hi Phil, I think your idea has merit. Americans should be asking their local, state, and national lawmakers to speak out on September 21 in favor worldwide peace! It's the least they can do. War is the old paradigm and they can promote a new one of peace and justice for all. Let's encourage all on Marianne's substack to join with us in this quest whether one lives in the U.S. or anywhere on our planet where one is safe to express their views. Peace! Joan
My cat’s birthday would be World Peace Day? ☺️🐈
Marianne I was a Bernie volunteer. I want to support you I am very inspired by the economic justice message and targeting corporate tyranny. But I am a lifelong follower of Dr. King and am too well read in Chomsky. I can't join you if you are just with the Ukraine chorus. Please - make a more distinctive policy than you have. Be courageous. Propose peace. Propose something that distinguishes you from the Neocons and the Clintons! Obama opposed escalation against Russia in Ukraine. Was he wrong? We are in a warmonger media consensus at the moment but this will change as the peace movement grows. Articulate a clearer politics so that Trump isn't running to your left and you are in the position of defending the military industrial complex. FDR and the New Deal political faction faced huge pushback from the corporations and military in the McCarthy era culminating in the coup against Kennedy, who was trying to break with the Dulles imperialist faction and pursue peace. You are in the FDR-JFK tradition but you are not seeing how Ukraine is an excuse for war against Russia. Read the Rand corporation report. Read Aaron Maté.. Read Devils Chessboard. Become more aware of this. It's not worth it to just follow the herd on Ukraine. The peace movement is growing. I can't support you if you are standing with Clinton and Kristol and Nulland and the rest. As Chomsky makes clear, the moral argument the humanitarian argument has been a cover for imperialist adventure since the NATO war in the Balkans. Don't fall for it. I want to join your campaign as a supporter I really do. But it breaks my heart to see you not articulate your own maverick renegade position on this!
Will Hall, I think you have valid concerns on what's behind the debacle. I concur that Marianne be more specific than she has currently been regarding this topic. I think she has much more to say in the weeks ahead on it and other tipping points as well.
The GOP candidates have come out almost unanimously against the Ukraine war, with the exception of Christie. Many are hawkish on China, but it is going to be very difficult for Marianne to be to the right of the GOP on this. That's just insane. Marianne's Twitter is a lot more nuanced than this essay, and the interview with Kyle and Kristal was pretty good about not putting neocon hawks in the room with her foreign policy decisions, but I am hoping that we will see a real peace plan from Marianne soon. Perhaps Marianne is waiting for the media consensus to break up? Which will definitely start to happen now that we have so many GOP primary candidates against the Ukraine war. Then her position as a peace voice could be more acceptable - though there is no way, as she knows, her candidacy won't come under attack from the corporate Dems. Whatever happens we need Marianne's integrity and consistency as a pro-peace candidate, not positions like the one in this essay. Hoping she has the humility to take her position in a new direction, where it needs to be - the wing of peace and honoring the anti-war politics of Dr. King.
Thank you Brother. There's WAY more going on here than what's reported in the "news". Zelensky is not a nice man.

I see no reason to concede anything to Putin as a precondition to talks. We should express our complete support for the Ukrainian position which is status quo ante 2014 and secure borders guaranteed by NATO, of which Ukraine would be a member along with Sweden and Finland. No bully has ever been deterred by giving him even a bit of what he wants and there's no reason to believe that Putin would be the first. I'd also expedite the delivery and training for the Ukrainians to use F-16s and main battle tanks to clarify that our support isn't just verbal. Peace, whether departmentalized or not, is much more secure from a position of strength, moral rectitude and self-confidence than otherwise.
There's more to think about. Here's David Remnick in The New Yorker: https://www.rsn.org/001/how-the-war-in-ukraine-ends.html
thanks for sharing -- a worthwhile read

Try this, too, from Jill Stein -- a good running mate for her political savvy and also being likeable and GREAT if it were two women. Marianne, why don't you get together with her for a deeper dive into your policy about Ukraine? "Jill Stein on the war in Ukraine and how to end it": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kaJpOC59x7g

It’s too late to stop this by force without causing a nuclear response. It’s too late to stop it by negotiations because the U.S. and NATO have lied to Russia for so long and in so many important ways that they know they do not have an honest partner with whom to negotiate. Russia will have what they want in Ukraine-- they will be demilitarized and denazified, and they will take the ethnic Russian regions of the Donbas and Crimea. The people there WANT to be part of the Russian Federation. There’s nothing to be done but to stop arming Ukraine. That will only prolong the pain Ukraine will continue to experience. The war will be resolved on Russia’s terms, not ours. I hope we can learn our lesson that we are no longer the world’s hegemon. Other nations are no longer willing to be forced to follow our lead. We have “managed” the world badly since WWII. A different power structure is required.
Jeopardy contestant:
Ukrainian money laundering for 500, Alex . . . ding ding ding . . . it's the DAILY DOUBLE!!!
What does Israeli operative Volodymyr Zelensky have in common with Sam Bankman-Fried (FTX), Secretary Janet L. Yellen (U.S. Treasury), Mark Zuckerberg (Meta), Larry Fink (BlackRock), and Benjamin Netanyahu???
This country has made too many bad decisions with imperialist goals. By continuing to fund this war and others (“Israel”/Palestine) we extend the suffering of Ukrainians and Palestinians. Russia is entitled to a zone of neutrality on its borders. Palestinians are entitled to their own nation, free of Zionist land grabs and a continuation of the Nakba. Ukraine is not our business. Without US interference, provocation and ignoring the legitimate need for Russian security, this war would not have happened. Only the Ukrainians will suffer if we keep pouring in arms, unless we push Russia into a corner, at which point it’s likely to become a nuclear holocaust. Start practicing what you preach. Love doesn’t bomb other countries.
Marianne, I would say the best way to end the war in Ukraine is to end the deepest reason empires invade their neighbors namely, their economies always become destabilized by PRIVATE debt so they think invading and stealing their neighbors' assets will solve that ever recurring problem. Except it doesn't of course...because we haven't recognized the new monetary and economic paradigm and how to most efficaciously apply it. Hence the deepest problems of modern economies are never truly resolved. Well, I've written a book that identifies that new paradigm and how it could be best implemented. It's Called Wisdomics-Gracenomics: The Monetary Paradigm and Its Policies. I'd love to engage you and others here and elsewhere regarding it. Its policies integrate the economic self interests of traditionally opposed political constituencies while forwarding and better enabling an underlying liberal agenda that I think is actually inherent in everyone.
The title is derived from the fact that historically, new paradigms are always integrative, transformative phenomena.
Wisdom is the superlative human mental discipline, not science...because even though science is wonderful, deliciously interesting and NECESSARY...good, open minded, breakthrough science exists entirely within the mindset/digestive tract of Wisdom. In other words it (Wisdom) is the larger inclusive of science set.
Also historically, it can be shown that every new paradigm's effects have been an aspect or aspects of the natural philosophical concept of grace as in love in action, and as policy is the action of systems, bringing the gracious policies of Wisdomics-Gracenomics is the deeper and transformative economic solution.
I might add that the major economic reforms of UBI, MMT, Steve Keen's Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis and Ellen Brown's Public Banking all align perfectly with the new monetary paradigm...they just haven't cognited on the specific new concept and how to best apply it in the economy so as to integrate and further their separate agendas.
Again, would love to engage you and any others here.
John Fullerton could be an ally. He was a executive at J.P. Morgan and went on to found Capital Management, a kind of think tank for a different way. My podcast with him: https://SueSpeaksPodcast.com. Here's John: "I discovered reading Evelyn Underhill's "Mysticism" (now a couple years ago) that there were three types of Christian Mystics - the pilgrim in search of God, those who fall in love with God and commit to a marriage with God, and the third type where it's more about inner transformation. This third type were the Alchemists, and to quote Underhill, 'Regeneration was their watchword.' As the one human on this planet (to my knowledge) who has dedicated his life work to give birth to Regenerative Economics (aligned with the patterns and principles of living systems) in order to inspire and catalyze the transformation of our global economic and financial systems to become a constructive part of and not apart from the evolutionary process of (it turns out) the entire universe, this blew my mind."
Thanks for replying Sue. I'll listen to the Fullerton podcast. Your quote from John above aligns with my goals for the economy and for human consciousness raising. Graciousness is acting with love and that ought be the personal goal of everyone. And if we could create a continual temporal universe opportunity to feel/self actualize gratitude every time we went to the store to purchase something, which the policies in Wisdomics-Gracenomics effectively do...just how beneficial could an economy of such grace be, both personally and economically?
"We [=US] are the only power that could stop this....And we're not doing it. Why?"
The answer is simple - because "we" [=US] have started this 'conundrum' by not respecting the promise given to Gorbachov after the unification of the East and West Germany. Instead, US expanded NATO to the Russian border and in 2014 organised a successful regime change in Ukraine, but the real goal is a regime change in Russia. Good luck with that. Putin's approval is about 80%. Our western leaders can only dream about such numbers.
The plain fact is that the US provoked Putin for two decades by expanding NATO towards Russia, with the determination to make Ukraine a heavily armed hostile power on the Russian border as the last straw. Although not widely reported in the US press, prior to the incursion the Russians proposed a treaty that would have diffused the situation. The proposal was ignored. Putin demonstrated how seriously he took the threat of having native on his border by sending troops into Ukraine.
Thus, if we were to ask. “Who initiated the aggression first?” it is the US. If we were to ask, “Why has the small cadre of leaders in the US who have driven NATO policy been aggressively hostile towards Russia for so many years?” I’m sure I do not know. At one point Putin suggested that Russia should join NATO.
Both sides are intransigent. A likely outcome, I think, is nuclear war.
But since Russia is obviously the active aggressor, then obviously we should not let them get away with it even if the outcome is nuclear annihilation of San Francisco, New York, London, Pine Gap (the US military intelligence base here in Australia), and Sydney. Better that than to admit we were wrong.
What? The US should admit it is wrong? Antartica will melt first before that blessed day!
Black humor: Well, there is reason for hope. Antarctica IS melting – at least one of the major ice sheets.
Better to end the human experience than to admit we were wrong?
I believe that was sarcasm Richard.
Years ago I made a heartfelt presentation to a NYS legislative subcommittee hearing, as a subject matter expert. When I finished, a reported pulled me out of chamber to interview me. He said that he loved my presentation, but was I for the proposed legislation, or against it? Similarly, I am now not sure of sarcasm, even my own.
