 Venezuela and the REALITY of American Imperialism
rod, Friday, Jan 25 2019, 8:06pm
The outworn feeble justification the USA utilises to illegally pursue ‘regime change’ (an international crime in itself) around the globe is tattered to ribbons today, the LIE of spreading ‘liberty, democracy and freedom’ -- what a farce/laugh. Now note that when the US-sponsored Arab spring uprising strategy failed to install compliant Washington puppet governments, in Egypt particularly, America quickly subverted the new democratic process and deposed democratically elected leaders in favour of servile to Washington puppet leaders.

 Second US Orchestrated Brazen Coup Attempt in Venezuela
Finian Cunningham via sal, Thursday, Jan 24 2019, 6:33pm
The dramatic events unfolding in Venezuela have “US-orchestrated coup d’état” written all over them. Washington is also giving itself license for military intervention which could spark a proxy war involving Russia and other powerful nations.

Algorithmic 'Collateral Damage' Acceptable to Police, Agencies and Military
lex, Sunday, Jan 20 2019, 9:32pm
Algorithms are simply unthinking computer programs that re-act to the results their initial searches produce, they react to themselves according to programming, a highly problematic process as algorithms REMAIN insentient, unable to THINK intuitively or ASSESS abstractly, which characteristics have earned humans dominance over other species and to a large extent their environments, whereas algorithms are purely self-re-actionary. Therefore, they are prone to fault as they are programmed by faulty human minds not able to assess future outcomes until they happen and as the faults grow (exponentially) and lead to faulty conclusions, due to self-reliance, the more inaccurate and faulty they become; they cannot say wait or slow down, I need to look/think about that result in order to avoid a larger fault as I go, they continue to MINDLESSLY react at light speed until they inevitably fail.

They Spy with Their 5 Little Eyes -- the Entire Apparatus Serves Elites NOT States
Suzie Dawson via jaxie, Saturday, Jan 19 2019, 8:21pm
People are sold the notion that spying is about national security, like James Bond against the villains, however, in REALITY that is myth and popular fiction; spying is about serving elite enterprises and ensuring a competitive edge and increased PROFITS for elite interests, the people and nations are of hardly any consequence as these interests are Global in scope, they care little for States/nations and people. It is already known fact that the USA spies on its allies, the Merkel personal phone scandal made headlines internationally, but what was Merkel's very revealing reaction? She took it as a given, NOT as an affront, simply an overlord watching over its subjects.

'Deepfakes' and the New Disinformation War
Robert Chesney and Danielle Citron via cyd, Friday, Jan 18 2019, 8:21pm
"Thanks to the rise of “deepfakes”—highly realistic and difficult-to-detect digital manipulations of audio or video—it is becoming easier than ever to portray someone saying or doing something he or she never said or did."

FOUR Americans Killed in Syria
stacey, Friday, Jan 18 2019, 6:49pm
American media reports that two soldiers and two Pentagon ‘civilians’ were killed by a suspected ISIS suicide bomber in Manbij on the west bank of the Euphrates river where Americans are illegally occupying Syrian territory. Of course the media is using this event as a ploy to counter Trump’s troop withdrawal but where is the LOGIC in this tissue-thin media ruse, notwithstanding logic is a rarity in America?

The American Shutdown Paralysis
abe, Thursday, Jan 17 2019, 8:02pm
Thousands of public servants are working without pay to satisfy no more than the petty ego plays of politicians that clearly do NOT give a damn for the people -- that is obvious. This shutdown is a standoff between Trump and his political opposition, to which consequences for American families insular politicians are oblivious. (story and 1 image)

The Inevitable Collapse
jake, Wednesday, Jan 16 2019, 8:56pm
Remember Quantitative Easing (QE) which, printing money from air, was supposed to be a TEMPORARY measure to boost the global economy after the Wall St banker induced collapse of 2008? Well, as we know QE became permanent as banks (again) hogged all the money being created from air and did not release it into the global economy at large, the banks continued to use that money to speculate. And so QE became the heroin fix for junkie banks and large financial institutions -- nothing more. (story and 2 images)

Who Do They Really Serve?

“[You] Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk
Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk
You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread
You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed

... you're gonna have to serve somebody... “ -- Bob Dylan

It’s Time to Force Tech Giants to End the Digital Panopticon
Duncan McCann via claire, Monday, Jan 14 2019, 12:30am
Today we are living in a digital panopticon, a world where our every interaction with digital technology is being recorded and analysed. The rationale for much of this collecting, selling, and sharing of data is often based on the need to monetise it through the provision of personalised adverts. (story and 1 image)

Psychopaths in the Whitehouse
Jessica Corbett via jaxie, Sunday, Jan 13 2019, 8:05pm
Resurrected neocon John Bolton remains as he always was, totally nuts, the WSJ recently published a report clearly indicating that John Bolton, and to a lesser extent Mike Pompeo are a danger to the USA and world at large -- these men cannot understand that pre-emptive wars create more problems than they try to solve, simply view the handiwork in the Middle East and North Africa, functional states reduced to anarchy, perpetual violence and factional infighting in the form of sectarian tribalism. Not one war the USA and its vassal allies have instigated is a success, they are all abject failures that have cost $trillions and created massive destabilisation/destruction and YET known madman Bolton sits in the inner circle of the Trump administration -- have we learned nothing from the failures of Bolton in the George W Bush regime?

Understanding Contemporary Political Power
nano, Saturday, Jan 12 2019, 8:43pm
“That’s not the way the world really works anymore. We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you’re studying that reality — judiciously, as you will — we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors… and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” -- Karl Rove, adviser to George W Bush.

Why Are We Working to Support Our Oppressors?
Edward Curtin via jane, Thursday, Jan 10 2019, 8:55pm
Ever since I was a young boy, I have wondered why people do the kinds of work they do. I sensed early on that the economic system was a labyrinthine trap devised to imprison people in work they hated but needed for survival. It seemed like common sense to a child when you simply looked and listened to the adults around you. Karl Marx wasn’t necessary for understanding the nature of alienated labor; hearing adults declaim “Thank God It’s Friday” spoke volumes. (story and 1 image)

Mainstream Strategy to Neutralise Influence of Alternative Media
Whitney Webb via shirl, Thursday, Jan 10 2019, 8:28pm
MINNEAPOLIS — Soon after the social media “purge” of independent media sites and pages this past October, a top neoconservative insider — Jamie Fly — was caught stating that the mass deletion of anti-establishment and anti-war pages on Facebook and Twitter was “just the beginning” of a concerted effort by the U.S. government and powerful corporations to silence online dissent within the United States and beyond.

The Tax INVERSION Con
lex, Wednesday, Jan 9 2019, 9:58pm
Indeed, those that have more than enough to pay fair taxes pay little or mostly no tax, as their wealth enables the mega-rich to utilise various tax evasion structures which they invented for their own use, such as various no taxation zones [tax havens] in which the mega-rich register companies and thereby avoid local taxes. Which contemporary situation is the diametric opposition of how taxation was originally structured, ie, taxing those that have more than enough to pay higher taxes DUE TO THE FACT that the wealth created was/is derived from the nations in which everyone is supposed to pay fair taxes for the maintenance of infrastructure and general up-keep, which RESPONSIBILITY the mega-rich NOW shirk. The huge cost of these necessary projects now falls on the shoulders of those that can least afford to pay.

Scientists have established a link between brain damage and religious fundamentalism
Bobby Azarian via jaxie, Wednesday, Jan 9 2019, 8:50pm
A study published in the journal Neuropsychologia has shown that religious fundamentalism is, in part, the result of a functional impairment in a brain region known as the prefrontal cortex. The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term that describes a personality trait which involves dimensions like curiosity, creativity, and open-mindedness.
