Caitlin and Tim discuss the global consequences the US-Israeli war on Iran is set to have on the weakest members of the poorest countries, the latest Trump assassination attempt, BBC headline shenanigans, and more.
Talk HOPE please? Could this be a reset of the common people - who see what is coming and return to family farms? The Elite might be afraid of our ingenuity, for we are resilient as humans, and creative. Can we encourage people to be self-reliant? How do we exit the cities? We never belonged in cities, moving paper from one desk to another.
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) with organic farming practices can feed the people without relying upon fossil fuels and the fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides derived from them.
Much of the corporate industrial farming exists to support a growing population that should not be sustained on a finite planet.
Its too late for the US. We are cooked. I look around, and if anyone at all has any “there” there, they’re hiding it well. We should’ve been dragging the bastards down ages ago, but… nothing. It’s like there’s no fight left in most people. Tragic. And unbelievable, really.
In my own amateur read of history, the time to do this was 1991-1992 after the fall of the Soviet Union. The Boomer generation of policymakers could have recreated the US after the Cold War, but instead of acting as a respected member in the family of nations they decided to accelerate the US toward global hegemony. They enriched themselves at the expense of all other generations with their neoliberal economic policies and neoconservative foreign policies. I don't know what economic policies work best, but I know the ones we took did not.
But we can't time travel back in time to prevent our current corrupt system from becoming reality. Therefore, we've got to deal with the system we got now, right now in the hear-and-now. Tear it down, burn it down, fix it , revise it or totally ignore it... Whatever we do, we have to take responsibility for our actions and not give up. Our children deserve our best efforts.
The Westerners are against the violence concerning the elite but are complicite in all what is going on in Gaza, in the Westbank, in Libanon, in Iran, in Cuba etc. Can there be more violence ????
Our "owners" (Carlin), the ancient lines of royalty, nobles and financiers, are the apex-predators of the global ecosystem, as most of us humans have become grazing animals since developing agriculture. They use war, famine and disease to control our herd sizes.
Fossil fuel use in the last 300 years has vastly increased the support capacity of the Earth for our human herds, but fossil fuel net production peaked late last year, so the support capacity will decrease from here on, and they need to reduce our herd sizes.
Things make sense in that context, but not in most other contexts.
Our owners look to their own long term power by optimizing their herds to produce and fight for them.
They are now forced into resource war between competing elite factions, which rapidly and destructively destroys resources and industry, but there is nothing else to do when it gets to this point, is there?
Re-arranging power-coalitions seeks to minimize the destruction and depletion that is "necessary".
There are other ways to gently and covertly cull the masses now, like junk-food and "vaccines", right?
Starvation always works, but is a big, blunt instrument at the continental level.
The central principle of the Trump administration is hatred of foreigners. So if foreigners starve to death that's a very good thing. It cheers up the base.
Which is ridiculous when his grandfather (the man who ran from Germany to avoid being called up, and then ran again when he was about to be tried for having run the first time. Drumof followed the family tradition of using whatever means to get out of being called up to fight.) and mother were migrants, as was his first wife and his third is. By his latest law, he should be sent to Germany because of his grandfather being a migrant, that could also ause problems for his children whose mothers were migrants.
It is rather reveling to read the entire article. Can't have enough "security" ya know. Hey... How about "security" status in Gaza and Iran? Pfffttt...
Same here. I find it really hard to make out the intention of what is being said without all the words being printed out to follow along. Without faces, there are no lips to read and expressions to make clear what the speaker is meaning by his/her words.
All wars eventually lead to ruin. All wars start at the alter of Money and servitude. The first bullet that is fire at comes from a rifle made in a lender’s factory… I.,e., your mortgages, rents and total ownership of your time, in most cases for a 30 year stint.
The common theme is ‘ I owe, you owe, he/ she owes, we owe, you owe, they Own. By the time we’re done/cooked, we’re gray, burned out, credit scored, dictated and fractured.
Civilian deaths are *always* the target. Civilian deaths. Civilian infrastructures. Civilian histories. ALWAYS. As long as civilian populations embrace military enforcement of governmental policy, the stage will be bloodied with the carnage of war.
Corporate dictate has been THE modus operandi for at least the last 400 years. See: East India Trade Company... As long as civilian populations support and embrace extortion and racketeering, their futures will remain chaotic and deadly. No one seems to *notice* these connections...
Updatin’ prices, we keep improvin’
Creative lingo for pernicious greed
Deep in boardrooms the Ollies are groovin’
Demons of insatiable need.

Everything’s about a deal
But in balance, it’s somebody’s bleed
Kitchen issues comin’ real
Souls and bodies needin’ to feed.

REGENERATIVE Agriculture
And perennial grains.
"Hope" was the last and perhaps worst curse out of Pandora's box, no? Hope makes people keep suffering, persisting in misery, does it not?
One can do what needs to be done when one sees the tasks, and do so without hope.
Don't get your hopes up.
;-/
Hope is a drug. A soma. Intervention is required to break the addiction to hopeium.
"Hugs, not drugs..."
;-}
Also works against mopeium.

Hope is not a strategy. Heed the words of Bob Marley.
As a Native American grandmother and great-grandmother, I do HOPE for my grandkid’s grandkids that they may Walk in Beauty as I have.
Hope is a 'lie' of positive thinkers.
When reality kicks in, you can hope all you want but if reality says no, then no it is.
People can hope harder
Vote harder.
Scream to imaginary saints harder.
But if reality is hopelessly Trumped into oblivion. Then hope is nothing but an illusion.
Doomscenario?
Probably...

There were countless opportunities. We are ruled by psychopaths. That’s the problem.
For sure. I give younger generations more grace tho. If they fuck things up worse when they are in power, I'll bitch at them.
It’s all the same shit. This type of system should have never came into being. The real blame goes way back.

Best efforts… I think they deserve better. I just don’t know how many humans are capable of better.
The Westerners are against the violence concerning the elite but are complicite in all what is going on in Gaza, in the Westbank, in Libanon, in Iran, in Cuba etc. Can there be more violence ????
If you can’t move them with your brilliance, baffle them with your bullshit, is that the approach here?
?????????
Unless and until Trump and Natanyahu themselves personally starve, they could not care less.
99.99% of the problems humanity faces today were and are created by the judeo-nazi "western culture" in their unlimited zeal to rule the world.

I quit CANVA the second they started demanding phone numbers.
please allow me to also read your thoughts as well as your speaking of them. i can read much faster than i can listen to you talking.

Remedy? A complete and total BAN on all forms of Corporate Charter, and criminalization of all forms of corporate syndication and franchise.
