The Humans Are Waking Up
The Humans Are Waking Up You run into a lot of despair in this line of work. The more you learn about the mechanisms of power, the more hopeless things seem at first glance. The political system is totally locked down, with anyone who tries to upend the status quo being aggressively sabotaged by the mass […]
Climate Crisis Means the Ruling Class has Failed. Can the Working Class Inherit the Earth?
Climate Crisis Means the Ruling Class has Failed. Can the Working Class Inherit the Earth? The climate crisis is proof positive that the ruling class is an utter failure — but it will not fall on its own. Can the working class rise to the challenge? It sure will help if we understand that our class […]
The Just World Fallacy: Why People Bash Assange And Defend Power
The Just World Fallacy: Why People Bash Assange And Defend Power I write a lot about how important it is for political dissidents to research and understand cognitive biases, the large number of well-documented logical glitches in the way human brains process information. I do this because the science of modern propaganda has been in research and development for more than […]
Monsters with Human Faces: The Tyranny of the Police State Disguised as Law-and-Order
Monsters with Human Faces: The Tyranny of the Police State Disguised as Law-and-Order “But these weren’t the kind of monsters that had tentacles and rotting skin, the kind a seven-year-old might be able to wrap his mind around—they were monsters with human faces, in crisp uniforms, marching in lockstep, so banal you don’t recognize them […]
‘Modified’: A Film About GMOs and the Corruption of the Food Supply for Profit
‘Modified’: A Film About GMOs and the Corruption of the Food Supply for Profit Parts of the documentary Modified are spent at the kitchen table. But it’s not really a tale about wonderful recipes or the preparation of food. Ultimately, it’s a story of capitalism, money and power and how our most basic rights are being eroded […]
You Are Fighting In The Most Important Battle Of All Time
You Are Fighting In The Most Important Battle Of All Time If you are reading this, it’s most likely the result of a series of events in your life which have drawn your interest and attention to the fact that our world is quite a bit different from what we’ve been told by our school teachers, […]
Loving a vanishing world
Loving a vanishing world I want to talk about power — how much we have, and how we can use it meaningfully. But I’m going to start with despair. At a beach in British Columbia’s Gulf Islands recently — on my first real vacation in almost three years — I felt much of the loosening that I often feel at the […]
Chapter 8: Negotiable Debt, A Bit of History
CHAPTER 8: NEGOTIABLE DEBT, A BIT OF HISTORY This chapter is a quick summary and clarification of what happens when debt becomes negotiable. The focus is on money, but other aspects are referred to, highlighting the general undesirability of making debt negotiable. There will be some repetition of material previously covered, for the sake of […]
Will Our Domination be Our Downfall?
Will Our Domination be Our Downfall? For those of us who’ve been paying attention to the general state of the world and human society, it’s readily apparent that we as a species have sent ourselves hurtling into the depths of a global crisis that has the potential to wipe ourselves out along with many of […]
Julian Assange’s Victory
Julian Assange’s Victory Throughout history, dark and reactionary forces have always attempted to control the world; by violence, by deceit, by kidnapping and perverting the mainstream narrative, or by spreading fear among the masses. Consistently, brave and honest individuals have been standing up, exposing lies, confronting the brutality and depravity. Some have fought against insane […]
The geopolitics of oil in the Trump era
The geopolitics of oil in the Trump era The United States have become the leading world producer of hydrocarbons. As from now, they are using their dominant position exclusively to maximise their profits, and do not hesitate to eliminate their major rivals in oil production, plunging their citizens into misery. Although in the past, access […]
The Path To Liberating Humanity Is The Same As The Path To Liberating The Individual
The Path To Liberating Humanity Is The Same As The Path To Liberating The Individual The path to enlightenment is the process of becoming clearly aware of all the different aspects of the way you operate inside, which enables you to relate to life as it’s actually appearing instead of through the filters of old […]
The Federal Reserve: A Failure of the Rule of Law
The Federal Reserve: A Failure of the Rule of Law “Money is power.” We’ve all heard this aphorism many times before. Too often it’s a lazy shorthand dismissal of the finding of mainstream economics, which show that the pursuit and possession of money often entails innocuous or even beneficial consequences for society. Dr. Johnson was […]
Al Gore’s Global Warming Deliberate Fraud to Increase Governmental Power
Al Gore’s Global Warming Deliberate Fraud to Increase Governmental Power There is a serious question that no one wants to address. How did Al Gore create the global warming scare and earn hundreds of millions of dollars in the process? Before Al Gore, science was worried deeply about what we are experiencing today — global […]
