This wretched #Labour #Government shouldn't even be talking in these terms, @ZackPolanski, @thegreenparty! We don't need more #defence #spending, & we definitely DON'T need more spending #cuts! If the #LabourParty are SO convinced of the case for higher defence #expenditure, they should put #taxes up instead to pay for it - on the #rich & #bigbusiness!

Media Myopia As We Hurtle Towards Climate Oblivion (Media Lens)

Any aliens who have been monitoring radio and television transmissions streaming outwards into space from Planet Earth over the past few decades will likely be intrigued, bemused or simply horrified at humanity’s headlong drive towards climate catastrophe.

The latest spew of fascism from Palantir was not actually anything new. This from last December.

It should be illegal for any CEO to refer to himself as "the Founder." Get over yourself, motherfucker.

WIST Quotations Apr 20

A quotation from Henry Commager

What is the new loyalty? It is, above all, conformity. It is the uncritical and unquestioning acceptance of America as it is — the political institutions, the social relationships, the economic practices. It rejects inquiry into the race question or socialized medicine, or public housing, or into the wisdom or validity of our foreign policy. It regards as particularly heinous any challenge to what is called “the system of private enterprise,” identifying that system with Americanism. It abandons evolution, repudiates the once popular concept of progress, and regards America as a finished product, perfect and complete.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), "Who Is Loyal to America?" Harper's Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

Every day, #Labour seem more and more like #ReformUK... Whatever happened to the #Socialist party formed to represent working people? It has betrayed its roots, and is now the friend of #Billionaires, #BigBusiness, #Zionism, #Genocide ... and #paedophilia too! 🤬😭

Yet another paedophile convicted from the Labour-right production line

Is paedophilia is an entry requirement for the pro-Israel Labour right? Is there anyone in that group that is not a nonce?

A quotation from Theodore Roosevelt

We […] hold the just balance and set ourselves as resolutely against improper corporate influence on the one hand as against demagogy and mob rule on the other. I understand perfectly that such an attitude of moderation is apt to be misunderstood when passions are greatly excited and when victory is apt to rest with the extremists on one side or the other; yet I think it is in the long run the only wise attitude.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901–1909)
Letter (1899, Spring) to Senator Thomas Platt (R-NY)
