10 Years (Or Less): Orwell’s Vision Coming True
10 Years (Or Less): Orwell’s Vision Coming True In the wake of all of the Brexit vote, a chilling blurb made headlines and it went largely unnoticed and uncommented upon. The line was couched within comments made by Boris Titov, an economic policy maker for Russia’s Kremlin. Actually all of the following merits attention, but […]
First Post-Brexit Bailout Looms As Bank Of England Mulls UK Property Fund ‘Measures’
First Post-Brexit Bailout Looms As Bank Of England Mulls UK Property Fund ‘Measures’ Who could have seen that coming?

Outside the Hall of Mirrors
Outside the Hall of Mirrors The outcome of last week’s vote concerning Britain’s membership in the European Union has set off anguished cries and handwaving across much of the internet and the mass media.

Death to All Zombies!
Death to All Zombies! Wait a minute. They’re already dead. Brexit just reveals that not everybody’s brains have been eaten.

Thoughts on the Media and the EU Referendum 190
Thoughts on the Media and the EU Referendum 190 Al Jazeera’s Listening Post programme on the EU referendum media coverage was just broadcast.

Brexit and the Crisis of Capitalism
Brexit and the Crisis of Capitalism If you collapse these extractive, debt-dependent crony-capitalist cartels, you collapse the entire status quo. Thousands of commentaries have been issued about Brexit in the past week.I’ve written four myself. Most discuss Brexit as the result of immigration issues, class war, political theater, a reaction against the European Union’s bureaucratic […]
There’s No Place Called “TransNationalProfessionalistan”
There’s No Place Called “TransNationalProfessionalistan” Under the relentless thrust of accelerating over-population and increasing over-organization, and by means of ever more effective methods of mind-manipulation, the democracies will change their nature; the quaint old forms—elections, parliaments, Supreme Courts and all the rest—will remain. The underlying substance will be a new kind of non-violent totalitarianism. All […]

Italy Just Bailed Out Another Failed Bank, May Use Pension Funds For Future Bank Rescues Despite – or perhaps due to – Italy’s failed attempt to slide a state-funded €40 billion recapitalization attempt past Angela Merkel while blaming it on Brexit, and coupled with a bailout proposal to provide €150 billion in liquidity to insolvent […]

The Elites Have Lost the Right to Rule – Part 2 In the end, the elites will be overthrown and a power vacuum will form. The transition period will be extremely difficult as the elites will fight their demise to the end. For you see, they care nothing for you they care about their power […]
European Union’s Imperial Overreach
European Union’s Imperial Overreach Exclusive: The European Union’s haughty and hasty expansion into low-wage Eastern Europe may be its undoing, as the Brexit vote shows popular resistance to the westward migration of workers that followed, writes Jonathan Marshall. While few analysts are putting it this way, the European Union suffers from a self-inflicted crisis of overexpansion […]
Brexit is Only the Latest Proof of the Insularity and Failure of Western Establishment Institutions
Brexit is Only the Latest Proof of the Insularity and Failure of Western Establishment Institutions THE DECISION BY UK VOTERS to leave the EU is such a glaring repudiation of the wisdom and relevance of elite political and media institutions that – for once – their failures have become a prominent part of the storyline. Media reaction to the Brexit vote falls […]

BREXIT is Watershed for Europe
BREXIT is Watershed for Europe Merkel admitted that: “There’s no way around it: Today is a watershed for Europe and the European unity process.” Of course, people like Schulz are the entire problem.
