Rather Than Focus on What You Don’t Control (“The News”), Focus on What You Do Control: What You Grow, Eat and Own
Rather Than Focus on What You Don’t Control (“The News”), Focus on What You Do Control: What You Grow, Eat and Own Now that globalization and financialization are finally unraveling, people are slowly awakening to the national security foundations of localizing production. What exactly is “the news” other than an inducement to passivity, despair and […]
The Media is the Number One Cause of War Since 1898
The Media is the Number One Cause of War Since 1898 In 1895, a 32-year old entrepreneur in New York City bought a failing newspaper and hatched a bold plan to turn it around.

What ‘transition’? Renewable energy is growing, but overall energy demand is growing faster
What ‘transition’? Renewable energy is growing, but overall energy demand is growing faster The rise in the renewable energy that’s available is still lower than the rise in global energy demand overall. The shortfall between renewable energy supply and power demand will only widen as economies reopen and travel resumes, with demand already spiking to […]
Be Your Own Revolution
Be Your Own Revolution I made the mistake of involving myself in a sectarian Twitter spat when I was halfway through my morning coffee today and I instantly felt like an idiot. People from the Left Twitter faction I’d offended rushed in to push back against the offense I’d caused them, and within minutes I […]
What News Outlet Doesn’t Deny Reality?
What News Outlet Doesn’t Deny Reality? ZeroHedge, the successful bad boy financial news reporting site, is shifting to a subscription model. I might subscribe if ZeroHedge knew what the fuck was going on in the world, but they’re as much in denial about human overshoot as the mainstream news outlets. Granted, ZeroHedge is at least willing […]

MSM Promotes Yet Another CIA Press Release As News The Washington Post, whose sole owner is a CIA contractor, has published yet another anonymously sourced CIA press release disguised as a news report which just so happens to facilitate longstanding CIA foreign policy.

The News Churn Memory Hole: How The MSM Lies Even When Telling The Truth
The News Churn Memory Hole: How The MSM Lies Even When Telling The Truth “This goofy ass Trump letter is gonna get more outraged coverage than the bombshell report on the entire Afghanistan war being a lie and frankly I don’t know if I can handle that right now,” popular Youtube commentator Kyle Kulinski tweeted today. The post […]
Fake News? How About No News?
Fake News? How About No News? Trump gets flak for characterizing the mainstream press as purveyors of Fake News. But what about no news at all? Isn’t lack of coverage even worse than biased coverage? Well, how much news have you heard or read about the gilets jaunes – or “yellow vest” – protests in […]
Power Trendlines
Power Trendlines Market action is heavily dominated by algorithmic trading and programs. Nothing new about that and it’s a reality of the market environment. In December algos were blamed for the steep sell-off, nobody is blaming them during the massive bounce off of the December lows. Funny that. Irony aside knowing where these algos live […]
Why One Should Distrust the News
Why One Should Distrust the News An article by the BBC on “The world’s most nutritious foods” ranks the healthfulness of foods on the basis of an article at the supposedly scientific PLOSone journal, titled “Uncovering the Nutritional Landscape of Food”. That study is based on a dataset that entirely ignores antioxidant-content of foods. Antioxidant-content has come to be recognized […]
Selling Fear and Amusement: News as Entertainment
Selling Fear and Amusement: News as Entertainment The news media have contributed to our deteriorating—but entertaining—political situation. Mr. Trump is President partly because he is entertaining. My research on TV news shows that the promotion of the politics of fear is a byproduct of entertaining and sensationalized reports to build audience ratings. Contemporary news practices […]
Trump Derangement International
Trump Derangement International Diego Velázquez The Spinners 1655-60 Dirk Kurbjuweit, deputy editor-in-chief of Germany’s Der Spiegel magazine for the past 4 years, unwittingly put his foot a mile deep in his mouth this week when he reacted to a letter written by US Ambassador to Berlin Richard Grenell. His reaction presents perhaps the most […]
What the New York Times Has in Common with the National Enquirer
What the New York Times Has in Common with the National Enquirer The National Enquirer is in the news rather than reporting it—not for printing that Elvis is alive and well, but for its alleged role as “a dirty-tricks shop for Donald J. Trump in 2016,” as The New York Times put it in an […]
The Perils of Banning “Fake News”
The Perils of Banning “Fake News” When the printing press was invented in the mid-1400s, Europe faced radical and unprecedented changes. Ultimately revolutionizing the circulation of information, the printing press dislodged the monopoly of information and ideas. As Gutenberg reformed the printing system around 1440, the technology quickly expanded. According to some accounts, there were […]
