Money in politics has made America ungovernable and an irresponsible global citizen
If there is any waring on the streets of America amongst Americans it will be because our own politicians manipulated us there as part of their ongoing effort to serve the rich
And as always, American politicians & the members of their 3 branches of govt pose a deadly threat to people the world over

Biden Nominates Judge from Chevron Law Firm that prosecuted Donziger:
“BREAKING: Outraged to learn that Biden has named @Chevronlawyer Jennifer Rearden to be a federal judge. She was paid millions at @gibsondunn to help jail me, attack Indigenous peoples, and cover up a massive oil spill in the Amazon.
Biden must align with Planet Earth. Corrupt.”

Again, both American political parties consider Charles Koch their leader and will deny the billionaire’s alt-right conservative extremism, including planet hatred, nothing.
Charles Koch’s father, Fred Koch, was instrumental to Hitler realizing his Holocaust. (“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” as Charles is fueling his own Holocaust with his oily climate change denial, a war on wildlife, destruction of the epa, etc. )
Of course, Biden will go to war that favors a neo-Nazi’s regime in Ukraine. It is, after all, it is pretty much where America is headed with its fascist dictatorship. Such governments can be and often are maximally conducive to profit taking:

“We are going to war with Russia to support a NEO-NAZI regime brought to power with a US supported COUP. SMH”

For decades our 2 party system drained our blood and treasury in war after war that benefited the already rich.
We all saw the rich grow their wealth by astronomical amounts during an unprecedented deadly pandemic that 99% of Americans continue to struggle through with relatively little next to no help from the same politicians.
And now the world watches and braces itself for possible war by Americans against Americans fought on American streets. This outcome would be a direct product of our own government sowing and then wafting the flames of ideological differences among the masses for no other reason than manipulating us out of our dwindling vote so that the rich can feed ever more. And trust me, they shall feed like never before as we will have been divided and conquered by their hoped for spilling of our own blood. As our biosphere collapses they will also grow their wealth.
We don’t need a civil war. We need solidarity across all walks of American life. We need the president to give us back our country. We need to dismantle the structural crap that alienates so many American’s from the benefits of our nation and destroys their future in the process.
I’m of the opinion that the entire history of acts “they” cite in support of their oppression and exploitation is wildly in violation of the good faith, spirit and intent of any form of civilized government.
Timothy Mcvey’s purchase of fertilizer was part of a much greater crime. And it sure as hell wasn’t consistent with the fertilizer company’s legal right to sell fertilizer. But seeing as the seller had no indication of its ultimate use, they sold it anyway. Now, when somebody wants to buy a truck load of stuff that is generally know for its use as an explosive I would like to think that most governments would ensure that exploding isn’t an intention the buyer can realize.
So today we have Dark money, gerrymandering, voter suppression, etc. the stated reasons for such laws are irrelevant in view of their effect. But I’m not lawyer

“The Real Methane Monster: Satellites Spot Methane Plumes Over U.S.
Methane charts from CAMS Copernicus at a total column and at 300 hPa (30,000 FT, 10 KM) reveal an unfolding nightmare. Additionally, the chart from NOAA MetOp-B shows pink color coding indicating readings at the extreme high end, while large plumes of methane are being reported over the U.S.
Despite the #ScientistsWarnings, production of oil and natural gas in #NorthAmerica is at an all-time high due to the development and use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, among other things including wanton failure to cap wells and flaring. These plumes are caused by this 'routine work.'
"Methane emissions from the U.S. oil and natural gas supply chain have received much recent attention and are estimated to be ... 41% of the anthropogenic U.S. emissions."
The abundance of stratospheric methane has increased by 13.4%±3.6% between 1978 and 2003. Almost all of this increase is due to human activities, which make up 60% of total methane emissions.”

“Bubbles of methane rising from seafloor in Puget Sound”
“(A) biological source of methane beneath the seafloor seems likely, Johnson said. The source may be in the dense clay sediment deposited after the last Ice Age, when glaciers first carved out the Puget Sound basin. The methane seems to be biological in origin, and the bubbles also support methane-eating bacterial mats in the surrounding water.
Jerry (Junzhe) Liu, a senior in oceanography, helped to analyze the data and participated in a 2019 cruise that contributed data.
“I’m interested in two seemingly parallel fields: fault zones and air-sea interactions for climate,” Liu said. “This project covers all the way from below the seafloor to above the ocean’s surface.”)”

“A pole shift could be close, check out the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49NPdyUEos8 The result of the Western Antarctic ice sheet dislodging would exacerbate the Earth's rotational wobble (Chandler’s Wobble). The Crust presents the earth with an unbalanced distribution of weight, even a small (10 centimetres) displacement of the crust would cause the earth to wobble more (which ironically could induce more crustal displacement, thus causing more wobble, thus causing more displacement, etc.) Severe seismic activity on or near Antarctica would precipitate crust instability. Added bulges from the expansion beneath the crust would worsen the imbalance. The diameter at the equator is 43 kilometres more than the rest of the Earth’s surface, due to centrifugal forces.”

Let’s be clear of just what the voting rights theater is actually about:
From Lakota People’s Law Project:
“Almost as important is what the bill would not do. It would not make participation in elections compulsory, as it is in Australia.
It would not require automatic voter registration for federal elections upon turning 18, leaving it up to individuals to go through the process themselves.
It would not offer voting to noncitizens at any level, as recent legislation in New York City has provided for residents in Municipal elections.
And it would not set up a nationwide universal vote-by-mail system akin to the ones states like Colorado and Washington have successfully managed for years.”

Getting America to fail was a deliberate act by America’s own Government and it benefits the rich (who benefited astronomically from the pandemic and foreign wars). History is full of examples of how to do it, of what circumstances you have to create in order to make it possible. It is divide and conquer’s crowning moment. Once America is no longer a collection of united states the rich – who already control multiple state governments will feed at will:
“America is a nation whose governing philosophies failed. It is now a nation caught between sets of failed governing philosophies. Unable to move forward, it has little choice but to move backwards, to regress — right into authoritarianism, fascism, and theocracy.”

She is making a play for money from rich conservative special interests.
It doesn’t really matter anyway, sufficient damage has been at the State level and judiciary to finish the conversion of American into a Fascist Dictatorship:
“BREAKING: Kyrsten Sinema reiterates that she will not support ANY effort to get rid of the filibuster, even to pass voting protections, despite the fact that 66% of Arizona voters support election reform.
Even Joe Manchin has not ruled out changing the rules on the filibuster so that we can protect the right to vote!
If Senate Democrats are unable to reform the filibuster before this year’s midterms, it will be nearly impossible to pass voting rights legislation (or really any important pieces of our agenda).
That would be disastrous for swing state Democrats, including Sinema’s fellow Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, who’s up for re-election this year. And it could even lose us the House and the Senate.
But that’s really just the tip of the iceberg. If Democrats don’t pass federal voting rights legislation this year, democracy experts are saying that the damage from GOP-led attacks on our elections could be permanent.
Our message to Sinema is clear: If you keep endangering our democracy, we’ll make sure you lose your job. If you’re with us, chip in now to become one of Primary Sinema Project’s founding donors. Your donation will go to organizers in Arizona who are laying the groundwork to oust Sinema.”

“No data, no problem: At the same time the news stresses urgency regarding the omicron variant and how hospitals struggle to keep up, you’ll come across a think piece from a wealthy, comfortable pundit who calls for a return to normalcy from the comfort of his own desk. Meanwhile, beginning on February 2nd, the United States will no longer be requiring hospitals to report covid deaths to Health and Human Services.”

Biden’s mind is infirm and he is easily convinced of playing a part in atrocities. Here he indicates that he thinks he is performing admirably. History will judge President Joseph Biden harshly.
Sadly, the coming social murder and other deaths that are foreseeable as part of America’s conversion to a fascist dictatorship is on Biden, and all members of both political parties together with their judges, heads – period.
Social Murder: I guess Washington just got too comfortable killing American citizens for profit by participation in all the wars. So now they’ve extended the “privilege” to the non-military
“I am sorry Bernie people, but If you give your allegiance to the Dems and "Vote Blue No Matter Who" as Chomsky instructs, you have surrendered any leverage you might have.

Pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers:
“Study: Eating organic food linked to better cognitive development in children. Researchers in Spain examined levels of children’s “fluid intelligence”, which is the ability to solve reasoning problems and use “working memory” – the ability to retain new information while it is needed in the short term. The team said their findings suggested healthier diets could have a direct impact on the development of children’s brains. Scientists also said factors such as eating junk food, living in overcrowded houses and exposure to domestic tobacco smoke were associated with reduced levels of fluid intelligence. They said their aim was to analyze the influence these factors could have on the development and maturation of the human brain. “During childhood the brain is not yet fully developed for efficient defence against environmental chemicals and is particularly sensitive to toxicity, even at low levels that do not necessarily pose a risk to a healthy mature brain,” the researchers said.
Organic food should be the norm, not just for those that have access and can afford them. We should stop giving billions in taxpayer subsidies to farms and producers of pesticide-laced GMO and conventional crops.”
