 Surveillance Capitalism a New Despotism
Prof. Sam Ben-Meir via jane, Friday, Mar 22 2019, 7:51pm
There is a fascinating chapter toward the end of Alexis de Toqueville’s Democracy in America titled “What Kind of Despotism Do Democratic Nations Have to Fear?” in which the author attempted something truly extraordinary – to describe a social condition which humankind had never before encountered. We find him trying to put his finger on something which does not yet exist, but which – in his extraordinary political imagination – he was able to foresee with startling clarity.

 Western 'Democracies' are a Farce
ned, Thursday, Mar 21 2019, 10:48pm
Very few people in the west labour under the old misapprehension that their sell-out political leaders represent them. Indeed, the opposite is true, one of the world’s richest companies Amazon, paid ZERO tax in 2018, think about that while you, average citizens, are slugged with an average of 30% tax rate. So is this GROSS unfairness a fluke or anomaly? Not on your life, it is the way of today’s world, a world that has abandoned, fairness, JUSTICE and its people in favour of minority, unrepresentative, criminal elites. (story and 2 images)

Bezos and DoD Dream of AI, but Invoke Terminator Nightmare
Emily Manna via claire, Thursday, Mar 21 2019, 12:54am
Amazon, headed by Jeff Bezos, the richest man in the world, has received its fair share of negative attention recently, and it’s no surprise: the company is a master at racking up tax subsidies and maximizing loopholes. It paid $0 in corporate income taxes for 2018, while reportedly maintaining abominable working conditions for many of its 613,000 employees in the United States. (story and 1 image)

Global Kids Strike -- the kids are all-right
Binoy Kampmark via stacey, Thursday, Mar 21 2019, 12:35am
Children’s crusades do not necessarily end well. During the years of armed missions to the Holy Land, when Jerusalem meant something to the sacredly inclined in Europe, children were encouraged to take to the rough and dangerous road as it wound its way towards Palestine. In 1212, a boy of 12 is said to have begun preaching at Saint-Denis in France. God had supposedly taken some time to communicate a pressing wish: Christian children were to head to the Holy Land and liberate it from the Infidel. How they would do so was not clear.

The SOLUTION -- We are ONE!
darcy, Wednesday, Mar 20 2019, 10:37pm
The elite propaganda apparatus has FAILED, the feeble attempts of the nefarious global elite to divide -- tribalism, racism, class etc -- and conquer, designed economic debt slavery -- is failing as I write; with minimal effort anyone who desires to know the truth is able to source it today by peeling back the feeble methods and machinations of the elite to maintain their monetary rule over the global masses, today they are TRANSPARENT. It is over for them, they are indeed a dead man falling.

Those Responsible
Michael Brull via darcy, Saturday, Mar 16 2019, 8:45pm
The mass media today is a means to an end, it no longer responsibly serves the masses, betraying its original commission; it serves a mass murdering unrepresentative elite as will easily be proven with particular attention to Australian born Rupert Murdoch, media mogul and member of the New York CFR, which entity is directly involved in shaping all western 'news' as its members include ALL the owners of major media outlets in America.

Obligatory Apathy
Tamara Pearson via jane, Saturday, Mar 16 2019, 7:22pm
We live in a society that despises any sign of caring about just how bad things are for most people. The planet is corroding and smoldering, and time and resources are going into nuclear weapons and sending humanity into its own carefully prepared hell. The unequal global economy is efficiently stimulating the starvation and hunger of 815 million people, and the Internet is a plutocracy where money buys the biggest microphones. The thriving communities of Syria and Yemen are being turned to moonscape, while corporate corruption and consumerism are being cultivated instead of culture. We continue to build a hierarchy of human worth that relegates certain classes, ages, genders, sexualities, and races to shit status, and while millions of refugees are being put On Hold for ever in camps. But society is collectively rejecting even the mention of politics and having an opinion.

Israel’s Stranglehold on America
Chris Hedges via claire, Tuesday, Mar 12 2019, 10:44pm
The Israel lobby’s buying off of nearly every senior politician in the United States, facilitated by our system of legalized bribery, is not an anti-Semitic trope. It is a fact. The lobby’s campaign of vicious character assassination, smearing and blacklisting against those who defend Palestinian rights—including the Jewish historian Norman Finkelstein and university students, many of them Jewish, in organizations such as Students for Justice in Palestine—is not an anti-Semitic trope. It is a fact. Twenty-four state governments’ passage of Israel lobby-backed legislation requiring their workers and contractors, under threat of dismissal, to sign a pro-Israel oath and promise not to support the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement is not an anti-Semitic trope. It is a fact.

Crowd Management in Large Societies
reg, Tuesday, Mar 12 2019, 9:40pm
The formation of large societies required that former tribal and small group leaders refine their methods and skills in order to manage what today and in the past was considered to be, collectively speaking, a dumb frightened mass of disorganised people. From the earliest historical records ruling elites developed various methods/strategies/tricks to manage the masses and effectively nose-ring them as dumb beasts or a resource to be led by their crudest emotional instincts (flight-fight/FEAR) to serve ruling elites.

Leopards Spots and Oil
cyd, Sunday, Mar 10 2019, 9:50pm
The common denominator with all the 21st century’s American wars is of course OIL and other resources with some geostrategic considerations. Indeed, all the so-called ‘humanitarian,’ ‘right to protect’ and illegal ‘regime change’ wars are primarily concerned with resource THEFT on a grand scale. Spreading democracy (which doesn’t exist in the USA) and ‘Liberty’ is a pathetic joke if one connects the obvious DOTs. Which reality signifies that the offending nation is lawless and morally bankrupt, as it kills millions of innocents and ruins stable nations to achieve its nefarious ends. (story and 2 images)

Trump Absurdly Asks Germany and Japan To Pay For Being Occupied
Moon of Alabama via steve, Friday, Mar 8 2019, 10:00pm
Trump's lunatic proposition will be fun to watch FAIL. However, due to the crumbling paper petro-dollar hegemony, the USA is now forced to extract payments anywhere it can, so it has chosen 'allies' which it thinks are easily managed/intimidated and are 'safe' extortion targets; well America may be in for a rude shock -- the world is steadily dumping un-viable paper dollars as this piece is being posted and allied leaders are loath to sacrifice their careers to absurd US demands.

"I will stand by my principles" -- Gutsy Chelsea Manning
Julia Conley via lex, Thursday, Mar 7 2019, 7:29pm
Indeed, it is character, conviction and principle that have served Chelsea Manning throughout her tortuous ordeals at the hands of the most corrupt, mass murdering, criminal State in the world today, America. Anyone that has followed her case from the beginning could not help but admire this modern hero/heroine, her character and courage in this modern corrupt age are exceptional.
