IMPLEMENTING OF DIALOGUE IN A BROAD PUBLIC CULTURAL BASE TO RE-ESTABLISH HEALTHY HUMAN COMMUNICATION in our present fake 'money' (Greek 'mnemosis' = 'memory' Oligarch controlled media with Censorship, Shadow-banning, Cancelling, Banishing & other MONOLOGUES.

RE: Arrest & Persecution of Telegram's Pavel Durov, WikiLeaks Julian Assange, Edward Snowden & many millions of other Truth Tellers worldwide. HUMANITY NEEDS INDIGENOUS CULTURAL EMPOWERMENT

DIPLOMATIC PAIRING of BEHIND-CLOSED-DOORS NEGOTIATIONS with OPEN, PUBLIC BOTH-SIDES-NOW, EQUAL-TIME, RECORDED & PUBLISHED DIALOGUES for the public & specialists to be able to review & align with the issues, sincerity & complementation of parties for holistic solutions. How we as citizens & residents, implement whole culture negotiation as the norm for our businesses, institutions & governments to follow as the norm.

The Right to Free Speech as the 1st Amendment was ill conceived (Half-baked, immature) in its wording. There are always issues of Slander, Libel, Defamation, Mis-representation, Miss or Dis-Information or impinging upon one's reputation, which must be responded to upon request. Free Speech must be paired with RESPONSE-ABLE SPEECH. i.e. Citizens have right to speak freely but also a responsibility to provide others the ability to respond to our acts & our speech in formal Dialogue or 'Debate' (French 'de' = 'undo' + 'bate' = 'the-fight') upon request.

All humanity's worldwide 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') ancestors & 1st Nations provided for COUNCIL PROCESS or the opportunity for Both-sided, Equal-time, Recorded (aka witnessed) & Published (shared) Dialogue. When we openly offer our readers the equal opportunity to respond to what is said before, after or during the publication, then legally, we’ve satisfied any claims to Slander, Libel, Defamation etc. As well, we make our writing, media, audio or visual much more interesting to the average person. indeed Debates are the most viewed, listened to & read media events because human mind prefers to contrast & compare facts, figures, arguments, perspectives etc. in the dialectic way our mind forms meaning & actionable memory. India's 'Swadeshi' (Hindi 'Indigenous' = 'Self-sufficiency') movement with Mohandas Gandhi's leadership implemented 'Satyagraha' (H. 'Truth-search'). BOTH-SIDES-NOW, as an easy to use meeting, negotiation, contracting, contract-agreement, & conflict resolution recording program. People don't realize how powerful we are at the bottom for reaching constructive creative agreements among our families, friends, colleague at home, in Multihomes (eg. apartment, townhouse & village where 70% of people now live in an average of 32 dwelling-units = ~100 people) at work, school, commerce, industry, organizations, institutions etc.

1st Nations here & all humanity's worldwide 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') ancestors cultivated COUNCIL PROCESS FOR REDUCING THE ODDS OF VIOLENCE THROUGH COMMUNICATION.

At all interpersonal LEVELS, from individual, family, extended-family, ~100 (50-150) person Multihome-Building-Complex (eg. Apartment, Townhouse & Village-cluster where 70% of people live today.) city, region, state, national, continental, hemispheric & international levels. Any person at any time could raise an issue both positive for Constructive-partnership & negative for Conflict-Resolution with any person who affects them with a statement or an action.

The person so addressed for their statement or action is responsible to meet the issuer in a Both-sides-now, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogue. Typically when more than one person or stakeholder group is involved at any level, these groups must 'debate' (French 'de' = 'undo' + 'bate' = 'the-fight') amongst themselves & choose a spokesperson, even debate among other stakeholder groups to finally choose a spokesperson. The spokesperson enunciates the issue & helps set the date & time for meeting in person or on-line in public (or private if the issue involves certain intimate parameters) debate.

IN-PERSON 2500 years ago Socrates based in Greece's ancient Council Process, called this 'Dialectics' ('Both-sides') with the right & responsibility of every student, teacher, administrator & townspeople to raise issues in 'Academia' (Held in the Athens 'Garden of Academus'). Mohandas Gandhi recalling India's 'Swadeshi' (Hindi 'indigenous' aka 'self-sufficiency') Council Process called this 'Satyagraha' (H. 'Truth-search') https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues

ON-LINE CONVERTING SOCIAL MEDIA FROM MONO TO DIALOGUE During the Oligarch rollout of Social-Media, we missed the opportunity to implement 'Debate' buttons to online articles & Comment Sections, enabling an individual & collective process for challenging statements made, for convening written online debate among diverse stakeholder groups, choosing Spokespersons, Engaging with Authors & Commenters & publishing together. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1communication-converting-social-media-from-mono-to-dialogue-libya Libya’s mentioned as to our responsibility never to forget the atrocity we commit there & in 100s of other subject states & continue to commit in following unilateral executive Oligarch mandates for lack of economic sovereignty.

If we learn from our ancient indigenous heritage, such Council Process will expose those with tendencies towards violence at a level, they can understand & engage with. Its a far more effective 'Field-of-Engagement' to dialogue details of one's issues & perhaps receive a necessary loving & growing 'Character-Assassination' we can all learn from, than to physically assassinate the spokesperson such as Trump with LAWFARE & have to go through the whole issue, recreated with another unexpected apparition of the same spirit. Its far more effective in human resolution of life-issues, to include the other in our equation of understanding than to eliminate one character or enemy & to find ourselves subject to the 'Throws of Karma'.
