Jim: Excellent post! Very glad that you highlighted Project Censored "25 most censored stories of 2022/23." I read enthusiastically read Kim Stanley Robinson's novel, THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE -- a remarkable and enthusiastically received novel by many of my progressive colleagues here in Portland, Oregon. For better or worse, Robinson is able to chart a successful resolution to the current climate crisis because he finds a VERY WISE AND COURAGEOUS senior Irish female political executive who is ready and able to "steer Spaceship Earth" in a direction that miraculously escapes Spaceship disintegration in 2040-2050. I was elated! So also, most likely, were you. Unfortunately, we do not have such a leader. And even more important, we do not have a powerful progressive movement capable of supporting her efforts if she were to materialize! That is profoundly perplexing!
