$24 billion of the financing for Ellison’s takeover of CNN is coming from Gulf sovereign wealth funds: Saudi Arabia, Abu Dhabi, Qatar. The same governments Ellison pitched his unified citizen database to in Dubai.

About a hundred pages into the proxy, buried in the subscription agreements, there’s a provision that says the Ellison Trust can assign, meaning hand off, portions of its commitment to other investors after the deal is signed.

The War That Funded A Merger

We are on day 27 of the war with Iran, and somewhere in that fog there is a truth about alliances that nobody in Washington will say out loud: you do not investigate your wartime partners.

Of all the fallout of the Trump administration's assault on truth and vandalizing of institutions, this gets to me.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/top-climate-scientist-kate-marvel-just-resigned-from-nasa-heres-why/

I've been a fan of Kate Marvel's writing for as long as she's been a NASA scientist discovering important things about global warming. A riotously funny tweeter/blogger, she went on to write beautiful essays probing the emotional, existential depths of knowing what we're doing to the only known planet with whiskey.

It's not exactly that most of us Europeans are rich.

But the situation in the USA is more horrible than most of us can imagine. We really shouldn't see the USA as a "developed country". Sure, they have a number of wealthy "islands" where all the amenities are available.

But, well, so has Thailand. And this doesn't change the vast swathes of poverty in between.

Folks, it's a book of parables designed to keep goat herders from eating bad fish and murdering each other over attractive women. It's not science, it's not the law, it doesn't mean anything to the species and it's not a justification for all your nazi bullshit. The bible has no more bearing on my life or how to run a society than the fucking phone book does. Fuck right off.

The Sordid History of State Collusion With the Far Right

During the conflict in the North of Ireland, British security forces colluded with loyalist paramilitaries responsible for hundreds of sectarian murders. The record of collusion should be a cautionary tale for the contemporary US as the far right grows.
