https://www.ecowatch.com/childrens-iq-green-urban-cities-2647073226.html?rebelltitem=3#rebelltitem3---The latest study to examine the positive impacts of nature on children found that children living in greener urban areas had higher IQs than children living in less green areas.
“There is more and more evidence that green surroundings are associated with our cognitive function, such as memory skills and attention,” study coauthor and Hasselt University in Belgium environmental epidemiology professor Tim Nawrot told The Guardian.

A symbiotic relationship has developed between big-money campaign contributors, wealthy people, and politicians. Transparency is attacked. One supposes presumption of integrity that isn’t real, is a reason for nondisclosure — -https://sirota.substack.com/p/rep-richie-neal-sends-threatening?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjoyMTU0NTE0LCJwb3N0X2lkIjo5MDI4MjgsIl8iOiJuM0t3QiIsImlhdCI6MTU5ODUzODEwNiwiZXhwIjoxNTk4NTQxNzA2LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItMzc3NzgiLCJzdWIiOiJwb3N0LXJlYWN0aW9uIn0.bDYfBvXOuOcTzjHvJM5GqqLit-rV6WLhxFWeyL08t_E---Neal’s counsel called the commercial “defamatory” and implied that the station could face legal consequences: “Because you need not run this ad, you enjoy no immunity from liability for its false claims, and are fully responsible for the defamation and any other torts that might result from their dissemination.”
Although corporate PACs do not draw funds directly from corporate treasuries, they are typically managed and directed by company executives. The groups are even required to include the corporation’s formal corporate name in their name.
In February, Sludge reported that Neal had been the largest congressional recipient of money from corporate and business-affiliated political action committees (PACs) in 2019. Neal has received nearly $2 million from these PACs this cycle, and it accounts for more than 53 percent of his total fundraising, according to OpenSecrets. — -end of sirota.substack info — This is a reason in a nation of citizens beginning to crack the conditioning of pay-to-play health insurance policy ownership over demanding a public and comprehensive health care policy, it is crucial to own the FACTS that Biden specifically supports the capitalism that embraces transfer of health care dollars from the public to insurance companies in place of a comprehensive and universal public health care policy.

In a government “run like a business”, money is the goal. Money is also a component in greed and together lead to corruption. One has wondered at an entertainment industry that is held up as the model of the meaning of life in America, that is paid obscene amounts of money for their participation in the indoctrination, with members gathering at Awards Shows to self-congratulate each other, and often use this forum to opine at the state of life in America.
In desperation we are watching law enforcement and local community members playing out their programmed role similar to gladiators and prisoners in a Roman Coliseum during the Roman Empire. This plays out across the nation while those so privileged and wealthy watch the show from a distance. A laudatory first step by NBA players to short-circuit the circus can remind everyone that we are not helpless in the face of capitalistic hierarchical Establishment circus ringmaster Show presentation — -https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/nba-boycott-live-updates-lakers-clippers-push-to-end-season-after-bucks-protest-jacob-blake-shooting/live/--Milwaukee's walk-out ahead of Game 5 against the Magic came in response to the shooting of an unarmed Black man named Jacob Blake in Kenosha, Wisconsin, on Sunday. Shortly after the Bucks made a statement by not playing, the Rockets and Thunder decided to also not play Wednesday, as well as the Lakers and Trail Blazers. — end of cbssports info —
Of interest will be whether those inured into wealth, privilege and adulation have the stamina to endure to a victory in human and civil rights. Also, will other sidelined circus watchers (the wealthy and privileged among us) also use serious tactics that challenge capitalistic hierarchical Establishment that sustain the local-community-member/law-enforcement Show.
Many watchers to this Establishment Show become wealthy thereby. They are often those we hear decrying the violence most loudly.
As welcome would be actions of integrity from capitalistic-privileged individuals will be rejection by the majority of the public from division inflicted by capitalistic hierarchical Establishment — -https://countercurrents.org/2020/08/forging-unity-within-the-working-class-an-interview-with-michael-d-yates/--In its desperate race to survive its series of crises, capitalism keeps clinging onto its old tool of dividing the working class. But, since commencing its political fight, the working class has uplifted a different call: Workers of the world unite! More than one hundred years ago, the proletariat in Russia trampled over all the divisions among the working class created by capital and achieved a historic victory — the Great October Revolution. But, today, more than a century after the October Revolution, the working class remains divided. In this context, Michael D. Yates, author of Can the Working Class Change the World? (Monthly Review Press, 2018) among other works, longtime union activist, labor educator, and editorial director of Monthly Review Press and former associate editor of Monthly Review magazine, focuses on the question of working-class unity in the following August 2020 interview with Farooque Chowdhury, author and editor of a number of books on working-class history, capitalist crisis, the environment, and microcredit. Chowdhury writes from Dhaka, Bangladesh.

And many of the most non-Establishment voters are in the Green Party.

Lost in the fog of political corruption over several decades, is the fact that the Presidential debates were once in the capable hands of the League of Women Voters — --https://www.lwv.org/newsroom/press-releases/league-refuses-help-perpetrate-fraud----Most objectionable to the League, Neuman said, were conditions in the agreement that gave the campaigns unprecedented control over the proceedings. Neuman called “outrageous” the campaigns’ demands that they control the selection of questioners, the composition of the audience, hall access for the press and other issues.
“The campaigns’ agreement is a closed-door masterpiece,” Neuman said. “Never in the history of the League of Women Voters have two candidates’ organizations come to us with such stringent, unyielding and self-serving demands.”
Neuman said she and the League regretted that the American people have had no real opportunities to judge the presidential nominees outside of campaign-controlled environments.

https://straty.com/controlling-outcomes-controlling-table-stakes/---After studying the election process in 1985, the bipartisan National Commission on Elections recommended “turning over the sponsorship of Presidential debates to the two major parties”. The CPD was established in 1987 by the chairmen of the Democratic and Republican Parties to “take control of the Presidential debates”. The commission was staffed by members from the two parties and chaired by the heads of the Democratic and Republican parties… (wikipedia)

https://www.debates.org/---The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 to ensure, for the benefit of the American electorate, that general election debates between or among the leading candidates for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States are a permanent part of the electoral process. CPD’s primary purpose is to sponsor and produce the quadrennial general election debates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates. The organization, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, 501(c)(3) corporation, sponsored all of the presidential debates in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, and 2016

They call this educating the public, others may see this as brainwashing. The CPD would profit by hearing from We The People, as to concerns about censorship. The censorship seems to have become so blatant, that petitions to the CPD have reached into the hundreds of thousands.

This also filters out any other than Democratic Establishment and Republican Establishment views. This means We The People have nothing to say in our own governance.
Consider the large number of voters who do not embrace the policies of either of the Democratic Establishment or Republican Establishment, and the fact that the Democratic Establishment and Republican Establishment have swindled the American electorate out of unbiased information directly from possible Presidential choices; often outside of the Capitalist Party D&R. Since these disgusting events in the ‘80’s, state-run/corporate-owned MSM has consistently indoctrinated We The People into accepting the falsehood that “we are a 2-Party system”. This has had the effect of rending illegitimate, the deeply legitimate tradition of free, clean, and fair elections.
In other words, politicians are now choosing their voters, rather than voters choosing their politicians.
Acting on the human frailty of ignorance combined with arrogance, and using as an example the Democratic Establishment, one recognizes what is called a Democratic Base that believes in their right to dictate to others, their voting choices.
