  1. Indeed, and it was shown in this report which is rare.

  2. The high precision weapons of all super powers are precise about hitting innocent civilians and that to me is a force of subjugation of civilians that superpowers use force to maintain their respective spheres of influence.

  3. The only story western audiences will be given is the story written by the powers that be. I seriously doubt General Electric who owns NBC will broadcast news that will damage their interest as a Defense Contractor for the Pentagon would be one small example of a conflict of interests. The other two sides of the story you will have sort out through social media where the same retired generals and government experts are not interviewed and where the camera shows what is happening on the ground. If you do this it will become as clear as day to you that national commercial media is pure propaganda and lies.

  4. Workers are owners. Society consists of many owners in battle with few owners. You paint a picture of reality that is not accurate. Its not workers and owners. Its owners against other owners.

  5. You can blame it on the form of wealth chosen in American culture and society. As a value a coastal residence is worth ten times more than an inland piece of property in most cases more than that. Trump is a product of that real estate, landed property culture.  He will level against climate science the way Christianity levelled against paganism if it means he cannot turn a profit on land. The husband who voted for Trump has been betrayed by now two parties not one. His next choice is an independent candidate and hope he is not betrayed a third time.

  6. We, as a people of the same species, will never solve the UK and the US question of inequality unless we change the way we ask questions. It is useful to us to compare the rise of poverty and the collapse of democracy in two countries than it is to examine to death developments in one country the same general laws of capitalism. Even though you and I are different people we are individual members of the same species. And, as a whole, it is the development or lack thereof, of the species that forms the individual. In the same way, the UK and the US are different manifestations of social inequality but are of the same economic system. In that system the economic laws of accumulation of capital (ostensibly called "tools" in the modern lingo) as carried on through exploitation in both these countries producing an extreme polarization of capital and labor, -----and the antagonism between these two social classes is absolute! Not relative. By what means does this law operate so that the conflict is revealed? Putting aside what we know about the opinions and intentions of the participants, how are these economic tools used in such a way as to create an a-political working class? The point is not to be mechanistic or find a solution that takes politics out of the hands of working people but to expose what is operating behind our backs that makes us a conscious, semi-conscious, and unconscious, instrumentality for capital.

  7.  @alrightyru  practice, practice, practice. The better life inside our hearts and minds is trapped and must be freed.

  8. You cannot have an independent media if it is owned by a corporation or several corporations have controlling interest in that media organization.

  9. Reading the comments I am pleased that people are beginning to identify the mainstream media as morally and intellectually bankrupt. But this is only possible when a intellectual giant with ease ploughs through and navigates the tight and limited preconceived questions aimed at drawing out thin black and white answers, so typical of propaganda. The contrast between smart and stupid is glaring forces a viewer and listener to think. There is no question in my mind this woman does not even know who David Hume was. Chomsky wrote the book on the media's function in a command economy as fltering what information the American and British people are permitted to know. He breaks through the filtering process. Without a script this poor woman cannot think on her own cringe a viewer like me. Like watching Trump shut down verbally searching for words if the teleprompter is cut off. The tragedy is the under development of the female mind that is enforced by the corporation employing her that corporate feminism is all form and no substance. I watched a beautiful video of a beautiful town or city, I really don't know how big it is, but it appeared to be a town off the Atlantic coast called Cornwall. So I wrote a comment remarking on a well done video of a georgeous place and my immediate worry was how this town could be invaded by Trump International Resorts now that the UK will be standing on its own. Whereas the EU has something in the order of 27 nations, a Trump Resort or an American corporation would have to wait eons before it can sell its commodities in the UK. Easier to break down the standards and regulations for products when a country stands on its own than if it was part of a union. Divide and conquer.

  10. Government counter terrorism policies does not recognize home grown white middle class terror as terror. White violence does not rise to the level of Terror to kick start counter terror agencies and crush white violence.

  12. Astonishing the British people interviewed are that shallow and selfish about this conflict. They bury their heads in the sand.

  13. Two choices given to the British Public is more of the same at a higher cost: borrow more money at higher rates to run a government as, we already know what to expect from the political parties, they would push cuts in social spending and austerity. The whole economic order offers no other alternatives for a decent life is an economy that I would consider useless and ought to be replaced with an economy that stabilizes for the many not grows for a specific class in society.

  14. Part of the problem of being a billionaire in America today is being surrounded by people who do not tell you how you come across to the Public. They instead tell you how connected you are because the Public to the people surrounding the billionaire are a narrow and small number of people who live and have absolutely no connection to the Public. This is the case with Trump and Bloomberg. John Steyer is a billionaire of another mold as he is connected to the public by contracting with black firms and advisors in the process of making his money and will probably get a good percentage of voters for that reason. Biden is simply the older democrats living in a world of a by-gone era, they are the people who suggest WWI trench warfare for 21stcentury warfare, vestiges. The billionaire question on the minds of people, practically sick of the status quo, propelled, Buttigieg, Klobachar, Sanders and Warren in particular to the foreground of the political scene. The question is: Why do we need them when we actually do not?   The other part of the problem of being a billionaire in America, apart from living in a bubble, is that the real Public will have no access to all of the innovations in science, medicine and industry but the billionaires will. All of us will be living in the 1970s while the plutocrats live in the 21st century.  On innovation, the phenomena that has perplexed all economic thinkers on the era of modern industry is the effect of machinery to displace labor, this constitutes an economic paradox! The effect of machinery, science and technology on the worker is a self-evident law between the intensity and duration of labor prolonged indefinitely. But increasing the intensity of work, at some point, becomes complete inefficiency, and the shortening of the work day is a loss to capital strives for a solution. Piece work becomes the solution, what young people call the "gig economy", is piece work to the classical economists. The gig economy intensifies work because the worker is dependent on the machine to make a living. The machine back in the day of early modern industry was a sewing machine; today a cell phone and the data of personal lives harvested through the cell phone is the machine by which profits are accrued for a handful of billionaires. The more people use the cell phone or its applications the more profits are earned. In the early days of modern industry, the more the worker produced a given product they were paid by the weight and the quality of the product, the work intensified. Value was reduced to the quantity of labor. Time as the measure of labor.

  15. Russian oil Oligarchs are rich and we can compare their material wealth is less than the material wealth and standard of living of American Oil Oligarchs.
