Heal the Planet for Profit – Redux
Heal the Planet for Profit – Redux Giorgione The Tempest 1508“Mankind’s only chance to not destroy its planet lies in diverging from all other species in that not all energy available to it, is used up as fast as possible. But that’s a big challenge. It would, speaking from a purely philosophical angle, truly separate us from […]
Forecast What?
Forecast What? Roy Lichtenstein Woman With Flowered Hat 1963Well, Dr. D is back again. You might want to sit down for this one.Dr. D: In my last article I wrote about cows and hay and unrealistic estimates of production of the land. But surely that is all academic. What could possibly force Americans to once again eat by […]
The Mephistopheles Media
The Mephistopheles Media Ary Scheffer Faust in his Study c1840The essence of the story of Faust is simple: He is a man who sells his -future- soul to the devil in return for short term gain, for riches “now”. But years later, the devil comes to collect his prize. Here’s a modern allegory. In 2015 -or thereabouts- […]
Thank You 2020
Thank You 2020 Eugene Delacroix Greece expiring on the Ruins of Missolonghi 1826A little personal thank you note from the Automatic Earth is in order. 2020 has been an annus horribilis across the world, but we have been blessed with lots of attention and comments, as well as great support from our readers throughout the year, both […]
Virus 1 – Media 0
Virus 1 – Media 0 Salvador Dalí Mi esposa desnuda 1945Over the past 5 years I’ve addressed this numerous times, and it just goes on. When the MSM, WaPo, NYT, CNN, MSNBC, started to feel a real threat to their existence and survival from social media, they changed course radically. They no longer attempted to inform people, […]
COVID Equals Groundhog Day
COVID Equals Groundhog Day Paul Cézanne The Card Players 1892-3When politicians across the globe tell you they listen to “the science” when defining their COVID measures, they don’t really, they are lying. What they listen to is a shred of science as formulated by their local virologists and epidemiologists, which is inevitably questioned by other scientists. If […]
Bring Them Home for Christmas
Bring Them Home for Christmas Pablo Picasso Dans l’atelier 1954“There is nothing in Afghanistan worth the life of a single American soldier.” – Douglas Macgregor I’m having a bit of a problem finding the right format for this essay. I want to highlight a whole number of quotes, but I also would like you to read the […]
Lockdowns Make Time Stand Still
Lockdowns Make Time Stand Still Rembrandt van Rijn Student at a table by candlelight c.1642We would by now have expected the narrative surrounding COVID19 to be simpler to understand, but it’s not. We may understand much more about the disease and everything that has to do with it, but we’re finding there is so much that has […]
Anomalies and Deviations
Anomalies and Deviations Jasper Johns Map 1961I’m sure we all would want to know if anything fraudulent has happened in the November 3 election. Right? Which makes it a little odd that the same media who’ve hounded the candidate for one of the two parties for four years, and then declared his opponent the winner before the […]
Try 2021
Try 2021 Henri Rousseau The Flamingoes 1907Had a little email exchange with Dave Collum this week. We go way back, more than two weeks even. It’s been a while though, Twitter cut me off from Dave’s tweets ages ago for some reason, and that’s just one person I know they did that with; how many others, no […]
FBI = Disinformation
FBI = Disinformation René Magritte The seducer 1953USA Today Headline: “A Tabloid Got A Trove Of Data On Hunter Biden From Rudy Giuliani. Now, The FBI Is Probing A Possible Disinformation Campaign (The FBI is examining whether the material supplied to the New York Post by Rudy Giuliani is part of a disinformation campaign by Russia.)” Seeing […]
Julian Assange and the Conservative Press
Julian Assange and the Conservative Press Rembrandt van RIjn A Woman Standing with a Candle c.1631To be honest, I didn’t think it would ever happen, even though it’s been so obvious for so long. But all of a sudden, the conservative voices questioning the Russia collusion narrative and all the investigations that followed from it, are finally […]
They Only Serve Themselves
They Only Serve Themselves Caspar David Friedrich The Monk by the Sea c1809“The Kremlin” poisoned their “fierce rival” Navalny with the infamous deadly agent novichok. That is the headline. Only, the German accusation in that direction doesn’t say novichok, its says a “cholinesterase inhibitor”, of which novichok is just one example, was used. The news outlets must […]
What? Default? Where? Dollar?
What? Default? Where? Dollar? It won’t come as a surprise to anyone that the first half of 2020 has brought, among many other things, renewed calls for the demise of the US dollar. It’s been pretty much a non-stop call for over a decade now, and longer. But this time, like all previous ones, I’m […]
Lethal or Contagious
Lethal or Contagious There was this comment at the Automatic Earth yesterday that got me thinking. It was sort of wrapped in a bit of -more- innuendo about health officials not getting the results they were looking for in COVID19 numbers, as if the whole virus event is some goal-seeked conspiracy. You’ll be familiar with […]
