  The Massive Failure of Julian Assange posted by rikki, 2018-11-06 19:56:12
From the outset it became abundantly clear that Assange pursued a personal agenda, it was all about him and HIS pursuits of exposing state corruption and crimes, not that that corruption wasn’t previously known. People -- with the exception of Americans -- are not stupid, it was/is universally known that elected ‘democratic’ governments do NOT represent the people/majority, they serve powerful minority interests, the media plutocrats and oligarchs that placed them in ‘power’ though the real power rests with the oligarchs that install and depose national leaders like they change shirts, historical FACT!

 Losing Users: Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook Problems posted by Dr. Binoy Kampmark via james, 2018-11-03 18:33:46
His detractors and enemies have been waiting some time for this, but it must have given them moments of mild cheer. Facebook, the all-gazing, accumulating system of personal profiles and information, poster child, in fact, of surveillance capitalism, is losing users. At the very least, it is falling to that mild phenomenon in business speak called “flat-lining”, a deceptively benign term suggesting that the fizz is going out of the product. (full story)

The Triumph of Evil posted by Paul Craig Roberts via jane, 2018-10-27 20:58:40
The murder of Jamal Khashoggi inside the Saudi Arabian embassy in Turkey is unprecedented in its audacity. The response from Washington and the Canadian government is to sell more weapons to Saudi Arabia, weapons that are being used by the Saudis in their destruction of the Yemeni population. The Russian response, if the report I saw was not fake news, is to sell the Saudis the S-400 air defense system. (full story)
