Interesting insights but I don't agree about your assessment of the Green Party. Most of us are working class. Our slogan is "People, planet and peace over profits." We're for taking corporate money out of politics and instituting universal health care, UBI, and free education for all. We're for shrinking the military down to a mere fraction of what it is now and closing down all the bases overseas. We don't support the fascist state of Israel. (Read Ajamu Baracka's tweet on this subject.) And sometimes we even talk about environmental issues like developing solar and wind power.
If West wants to take PAC money and pay to get on the ballots, that's his problem. He's not a team player.
Sorry, but that's been my experience with them for a very long time. I was on the original Committees of Correspondence back in the 80s, you know, so I've always at least followed the Greens, until they nominated Howie Hawkins when they could have had Jesse Ventura.
I understand Ventura wouldn't go through the internal party process, and there was some indication that Cornel West had a similar issue. Damned near guaranteed to get to that 5% threshold but will turn that down for procedural reasons? To me, that says the party is clubby.
I don't like clubby. I do hope that whoever they nominate run a good campaign and will probably vote for them if they make the Ohio ballot. I mean, in spite of all of my complaints, I DID still vote for Hawkins in 2020. I'm certainly not the Greens' enemy.
I work with people on the "inside" and West's campaign wasn't complaining about "clubby" or anything else "procedural" other than he wants to take PAC/Super PAC monies and checks from billionaires like Harlan Crow. Also, I was informed that when you have left over money from a campaign, it goes back to the party that you're with, but in the case of independents... The candidate gets to pocket the money. I called him a capitalist in my piece, and Dr. West most certainly is one. https://therevolutioncontinues.substack.com/p/why-hasnt-the-revolution-started
Once again, I must give full credit where and when it’s due: When you hate, you really hate. Congratulations.
To continue on the western lies:
After Israel bombed the Gaza exit to Egypt ,Egypt is responsible for human
disaster of Gaza's fleeing population.
Iran is responsible for the actions of Hamas ( It is the NED (CIA subsidiary) and
Qatar who support Hamas. Divide and conquer anyone?) In 2019 Israel paid lots
of money for Hamas as well, but not due to kind reasons. Obviously nobody in the
West read the 1982 Yedid Yinon plan????
Naturally Russia is also involved with Hamas.Please, facts concerning this are
irrelevant. After all, Putin is evil and Hitler incorporated.
The West is concerned about human rights.(Where were they about Palestinian
rights since 70 years ago?) Nakba, anyone?
We abide by the "Rules based international order". Where are those written up?
I can buy the UN charter, but am totally unable to find any written form of those
rules. But, please enlighten me should I be wrong.
The US only interferes to bring democracy and freedom. Where? In Iraq, Syria,
Libya, and, of course in Vietnam? Many nations in Central and South America
would differ as well..
We adhere to the US Constitution. Then were have the bill of our rights gone? Oh
well, I suppose we should not be so picky. The "National Security and Surveillance
state" are far more important.
The WHO is demanding that every member has to abide by its rules, instead of being
just an advising organization. There are only a few months left to resist this intrusion
of sovereign states. Does anyone care? Of course not, we obey.
Sorry, I forgot:
Did we really get informed about Israel's plan to rebuild the third Solomon
temple which is right now placed where the Moschee of Al Asqa resides,
the third important place for all of Islam? Of course that is totally unimportant.
I felt no hatred when I wrote this, and feel none now, so I don't know what you're talking about. Honest.
'"Your silence is noted!", so we're runnin out of ffffn time!'. Best line ever.
Thank you for the updates.
Love this new format! :*)

I wrote about this a couple of weeks ago, but here's the FEC proof of why Cornel West left the Greens--it's the money he wants to raise via billionaires and PACs: https://twitter.com/sahilkapur/status/1714709184846197075
