Shrinking the Technosphere, Part VI
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part VI Suppose your situation is such that you need to effect a swift change of venue. The circumstances that prompt this relocation can be quite varied, but the common and foreseeable ones are: 1. There is no fresh water where you are. The reservoirs are dry and dusty, the artesian wells […]
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part V
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part V Before we proceed any further in describing how political technologies can be used to bring about the sort of dramatic social change that might grant humanity a new lease on life on planet Earth, let’s describe what “naturelike technologies” might look like. By “naturelike” we mean something that is in […]
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part IV
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part IV In the previous parts of this series, we started picking away at a very big subject: what a successful strategy for bringing about rapid social change would look like, such social change being necessary if we were to avoid the worst ravages of catastrophic climate change. This change must introduce […]
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part III
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part III [Part I] [Part II] Previously in this series of posts we outlined how inside the US special interests use political technologies to keep the population fooled. We also showed how these efforts will eventually fail, either through internal contradiction or because the parasites eventually end up killing the host. We […]
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part II
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part II [Part I] Political technologies have three main goals: 1. Changing the rules of the game between participants in the political process. 2. Introducing into the mass consciousness new concepts, values, opinions and convictions. 3. Direct manipulation of human behavior through mass media and administrative methods. Political technologies pursue these tactical […]
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part I
Shrinking the Technosphere, Part I On September 28, while addressing the UN General Assembly, Putin proposed “implementing naturelike technologies, which will make it possible to restore the balance between the biosphere and the technosphere.” It is necessary to do so to combat catastrophic global climate change, because, according to Putin, CO2 emissions cuts, even if implemented […]
The World’s Silliest Empire
The World’s Silliest Empire I couldn’t help but notice that over the past few weeks the Empire has become extremely silly—so silly that I believe it deserves the title of the World’s Silliest Empire. One could claim that it has been silly before, but recent developments seem to signal a quantum leap in its silliness […]
America’s Latest Foreign Policy Fiascos, Part I
America’s Latest Foreign Policy Fiascos, Part I Some 15 months ago I published a piece onAmerican Foreign Policy Fiascos, in which I summarized the significant negative progress that has been achieved through American involvement in Afghanistan, Iraq and Georgia, among others, and then went on to boldly predict that the Ukraine is likewise going to […]
Eventual Consequences
Eventual Consequences Mark Bryan The US empire has murdered some 40 million people since World War II (according to John Stockwell), has suppressed popular social change in dozens of countries, has overthrown and assassinated their leaders and has organized and trained right-wing death squads that murdered and tortured their citizens. Both Al Qaeda and ISIS […]
Peculiarities of Russian National Character
Peculiarities of Russian National Character Zimnik [Em português] [V slovenčine] [По-русски] [En français] [čeština] [In italiano] ← Ancient Slavic god Zimnik: a squat old man, long hair the color of snow, wears a white coat, always barefoot. Carries an iron staff, one swing with which instantly freezes everything solid. Can summon snowstorms, ice storms and blizzards. […]
Leveling the Playing Field of Death
Leveling the Playing Field of Death In April 2015, the Washington DC-based Physicians for Social Responsibility released a landmark study concluding that the death toll from 10 years of the “War on Terror” since the 9/11 attacks is at least 1.3 million, and could be as high as two million. However, Nafeez Ahmed begs to differ, writing that western […]
It’s really very simple
It’s really very simple There are times when a loud cry of “The emperor has no clothes!” can be most copacetic. And so, let me point out something quite simple, yet very important. The old world order, to which we became accustomed over the course of the 1990s and the 2000s, its crises and its […]
So you say you don’t want a revolution?
So you say you don’t want a revolution? Over the past few months we have been forced to bear witness to a humiliating farce unfolding in Europe. Greece, which was first accepted into the European Monetary Union under false pretenses, then saddled with excessive levels of debt, then crippled through the imposition of austerity, finally did something: […]
The Care and Feeding of a Financial Black Hole
The Care and Feeding of a Financial Black Hole A while ago I had the pleasure of hearing Sergey Glazyev—economist, politician, member of the Academy of Sciences, adviser to Pres. Putin—say something that very much confirmed my own thinking. He said that anyone who knows mathematics can see that the United States is on the […]
Crazyland
Crazyland A long time ago—almost a quarter of a century—I worked in a research lab, designing measurement and data acquisition electronics for high energy physics experiments. In the interest of providing motivation for what follows, I will say a few words about the job. It was interesting work, and it gave me a chance to […]
