  1. This is extra funny because Dame Judi Dench is such a sweet looking person. She could get away with a lot.
    391
  2. My sister killed herself. When I was removing her things from her house, I found in a notebook in which she had written: "live life with more meaning." She had a lot of things.
    377
  3. The book is number one. Fantastic to hear.! Go Edward Snowden.
    317
  4. Outstanding segment. I wish every American would see it somehow.
    235
  5. I can't imagine how John Kirby can stand to look in the mirror.
    220
  6. The quote from "They Thought They Were Free" is an apt description for today.
    212
  7. Tom Anderson that seems likely.
    195
  8. My sister killed herself. Studies reveal that a surprising number of people have considered it at some point. After seeing the impacts on different people in my family, I take depression seriously and worry about us all, but that may be partly PSTD. I went to a suicide survivor's group. In every story I heard, the signs were there if we had understood them. Thanks for your awareness-raising.

  9. So this sets a federal precedent that will indeed be challenged. If it's challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court, it will get a public hearing, but will the scales of justice be held evenly? Based on the record of the Supreme Court. It seems excellent that a lot of eyes will be on this.
    146
  10. I find Alexander's analysis the best on the big picture and the New Atlas on equipment and logistics. Thanks for these.
    143
  11. I am encouraged that Aaron Mate was invited to testify at an Arria-Formula meeting. The UN could not focus on something more timely.
    142
  12. You raise some excellent points Compassionate Curmudgeon. Having grown up with a "high conflict" father, I know that game well. For someone with our training, there is a temptation to be a hare-trigger sniper in response to ordinary conflict. If two people are both like this, they either run in opposite directions or see if they could completely change their respective personalities. I have no idea if the latter is indeed possible. Are you sure that you are no longer one of us?
    134
  13. There should be a Palestinian Holocaust museum in Washington.
    124
  14. "Where is the national media on this?" is an excellent question. Thank you, Democracy Now.
    96
  15. Parts of the cold war are still entrenched in American culture. When I became a US citizen, I had to swear that I had not become a communist since my interview. This seemed in conflict with the Constitutional right to free speech, which would include being a communist.
    94
  16. She's so articulate.
    88
  17. Thank you for this. We are being deliberately misinformed.
    85
  18. Rather than calling her a hot bimbo, why not say that she was an attractive, nervous young graduate student at Stanford?
    83
  19. I have a friend who gave up having a normal social life from adolescence in hopes of making the Canadian National Swim Team, GrandAdm Thrawn. She could just stay home and forget about it today, apparently. I imagine how she would have felt.
    77
  20. "If you torture the mathematics, it will confess." Well put.
    73
  21. He probably has tenure and can't be easily fired. I hope he keeps getting invited on TV. What a perfect response he gave.
    73
  22. This is even better than, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." Thanks, Jimmy Dore.
    73
  23. Thank you. What an excellent idea to show this footage; I worry that some have forgotten it and, after all this time, there may be young people who have never heard of Julian Assange.
    71
  24.  @jlbaker2000  To sing this in her 70's is so badass.
    65
  25. I agree that Sisyphus could simply be happy. Some days (since I have been meditating) I choose to see only the positive and ignore the negative. It works. This is powerful. Suddenly, I forget what I was upset about. I wish that I had always had this skill. I once had a major depression that lasted a year. People would say "snap out of it." It was just not that simple. I do not believe that I could have willed it away. Eventually, it simply lifted. That said, my sister chose suicide. it was her life, her choice. Although I do not know what she was thinking, it may have seemed a valid one. I want to be around for people that I love. I am luckier than some in having people I love. In Victor Frankl's assessment, only three things in life provide meaning. These are work love and suffering with dignity. The act of suicide eliminates the possibility for work or love. Unless to suffer in dignity, it is just so senseless.
    64
  26. I always assumed that they were a not much fun married couple..
    64
  27. I used to think of DN as excellent. ON needing to fight against misinformation, my first clue about them was comparing their reporting on Syria and the White Helmets to yours, which was credible and compelling. It was more significant than just that story because it was when I first learned of Wikipedia censorship. I think you are already doing it.
    63
  28.  @renehenriksen1735  I think Frankl had it right. Work, love and making one's own choices give life meaning. I want all three.
    61
  29. Congratulations on the new show, Anya. I look forward to watching it.
    61
  30. Well put together, and amazing. I see more what my sons have been doing with music and computers.
    60
  31. "Oh, Heather..." Thank you, Anya Parampil. This is excellent. It's hard to watch those liars.
    59
  32. Interesting and well spoken. I have an Asian friend whose son did not get into medical school. She said, at a social gathering "I guess he is just not smart enough." A marked cultural difference. My parents always contended that I was smart, even when my grades were abysmal.
    58
  33. Thank you for featuring Dr. West. What a compelling speaker.
    57
  34. I am saddened that this is now years old and Me Assange is still not free. What an injustice. My heart goes out to him.
    57
  35. Excellent segment. Facts are the thing we need here. Is it too apparent that the rest of the world will respond to reality? Not the reality spun by us. It's hard to admit, as I would never have behaved the way we have as a hegemon, regardless of my relative wealth and power. We have evidence of the debt trap diplomacy of the IMF.
    56
  36. I love maps too, Jeff Frank.
    54
  37. Thank you for reporting this. It is jarring to hear someone referred to as a "defendant" when there have been no charges that we know about. Jennifer Robinson speaks well here. I hope that people realize the threat to what we stand for that an action like this would represent.
    54
  38.  @JorshusPrime  It becomes extra complicated if you put yourself on higher moral ground because you don't share the beliefs of people who do that type of thing.
    51
  39. They appeared to behave in a way that was counter to their own interests and would suffer the consequences, 737tech.
    50
  40. Jimmy Dore is correct. I don't think we would be getting this news if it were not for the Grayzone. Thank you.
    49
  41.  @heikkisallinen9012  A college of geography is full of chicks drawing maps.
    49
  42. You should write a book, Nicholas Clark. This is a compelling story. Your grandfather reminds me of my dad. Although there are a lot more real estate developers than notable physicists. Similar achieving, difficult personalities. My dad died twelve years ago. In some ways I am proud of the things that he achieved, although time points to the impermanence of anyone's life achievements. When I think of him, I often think of the challenges of having a father like that and wonder how they shaped my character. It is difficult to see objectively.
    48
  43. I am in disbelief. How is anyone still behaving as if this was a valid election?
    47
  44. I was glad to see a man interviewed who distinguishes between the US government and people, as I worry about how we are hated in the world.
    47
  45. My sister worked with some engineers once to come up with angel wings that flapped gracefully, and it was more challenging than she had imagined.
    47
  46. "The Isreali occupation of Washington, DC." Apt.
    46
  47. Happy Anniversary, Democracy Now. Thank you for presenting these eloquent speakers.
    45
  48. Ms. Omar is a joy to watch here. I love how she looks so sweet and shy and then is brilliantly articulate. I doubt he saw it coming. :) I will be smiling all day today.
    44
  49. Between this and Ben Norton's piece on our disinformation campaign in Syria, the Grayzone is on fire today. Excellent work.
    44
  50. The Chinese government is meeting with the Taliban rather than delegates from the Afgan government. What does that tell us?
    44
  51. He is just a lovely person, dreamliverock. I didn't know there was a sequel.
    43
  52. Thank you for featuring this credible guest.
    40
  53. Yikes. The person I am thinking of's absence bothers me. I hope I would not be a joy to lose. I have said many awful things. I did it first. Oh, how I wish I had not been traumatized in some way that I can't remember when I was a small child and had these horrible impulses in the first place. At least I have learned and changed into a kinder person.
    39
  54. I have listened to many Jordan Peterson videos over the last week, and they are profound. I now realise that a lot of what he says is grounded in Christianity, but he throws in a vast knowledge of many things. It is beautiful.
    35
  55. Has she seen Aaron Mate's interviews with the weapons inspectors and presentation at the UN on the Syria chemical weapons attacks? His work on Russiagate won an Izzy. I am pretty sure he will go down in history for it, as excellent reporting on one of the most significant current news stories. The court should have required her to put that defence as a disclaimer at the front of her show.
    35
  56.  @aaronwilkinson8963 , The war was already won for all intents and purposes. Truman was an idiot. We were showing off our "grand achievement."
    35
  57. There are no wrong questions, Compassionate Curmudgeon. I was joking about the complete personality changes. This would make sense if you knew the long history of idiocy I had in mind. It sounds as if you are confident in your progress. Your analogies seem wise. What do you do when someone makes you angry? Yoga breathing?
    35
  58. We are fortunate that Edward Snowdon was able to extract NSA information and bring it to light. Their spying on us all was recently found illegal by a US court. Peter Theil would rather we didn't know? We have a right to know.
    35
  59. Venezuela citizens reading the Constitution make a compelling case. If the different independent news reporting I have seen today doesn't stop this, what would?
    34
  60. I hope we are laughed at by the Chinese. A remnant of colonial thinking, a "Ripleys...Believe it or Not" annual book has a saying, "Damn clever, those Chinese!" More clever than you knew?
    34
  61. Thanks for presenting this excellent guest.
    34
  62. This is so critical. Thank you for holding this rally. We need a positive outcome to keep any of the Constitutional protections we know.
    34
  63. Aaron Mate is excellent here, an so is Jimmy Dore. Great show. So far, I have watched about ten hours of various coverage, and this is among the best.
    33
  64. Clare Daly's logic seems infallible. If this can't be discussed openly, the UN is not a "respected multi-lateral institution." If these are lies, why not look at the evidence and prove it?
    32
  65. YouTube is not the waste of time that many think.
    30
  66. Same here, Chris Dealny. I was solving the wrong puzzle.
    30
  67.  @spankflaps1365  Do we abide by this court's rules? How about we stop interfering? I am not an attorney but Nordstream 2 was financed and constructed at a cost of $9.5 billion and was proceduraly stopped because "we don't want Europe to be too dependant on Russian oil" seems a more reasonable lawsuit. I was encouraged by Democracy Now at least reporting accurately on the oriigins of this war. I would like to see more on the entire story from 2014 to present.
    30
  68. What a great idea. I hope he wins.
    29
  69. I can see Glen Greenwald's attorney training here in responding to that cretin. Excellent. An excellent journalistic analysis. Thank you.
    29
  70. I had never heard of the Jewish supremacist state until recently and was shocked that there are different classes of people with different rights in their Constitution. Most North Americans would be shocked to learn this, I believe. It doesn't fit with the notion of democracy that we pretend is a core value.
    29
  71. Matt Tiabi's face was priceless. :) She was absurd.
    29
  72. I would rather have the press all riled up at Trump than in his pocket. He has made a show inciting them.
    28
  73. This is the kind of balanced journalism that could stop a war, I hope. Thank you.
    28
  74.  @JacktheRah  Natures design. We are not specifically smart enough to understand.
    28
  75. This is beautifully written. Thank you.
    27
  76. OPCW inspectors must be protected from any ex parte communication. Their integrity was compromised. Bolton and Cheney asked him to resign and threatened his children? This man is courageous. This story should be on the MSM. Thanks for this interview.
    27
  77. Representative Ro Khanna has a refreshingly balanced view.
    27
  78. Thank you for writing "The Shock Doctrine, which is excellent. Thank you for this, Yes. Yes. Launch a bold counter plan. Stop a war before it happens.
    26
  79. He has used this suffering to create beauty. I can imagine him in his work as a hospice physician.
    26
  80. I like this guy and hope that there is at least one like him at every worksite. Too bad, he lost his job over it.
    26
  81.  @florencetown4024  I only learned lately that he was promoting an African currency. To end entrenched colonialism through banking? We heard a different story back then.
    24
  82. For her honesty and courage, this is the most beautiful woman I have seen on YouTube. So moving. Thank you for her truth.
    24
  83. As if our leaders don't play sneaky tricks to bypass the Constitution. Perhaps in a perfect world.
    24
  84. Excellence from Democracy Now!
    24
  85.  @michaelfoye1135 I recently became an American. Immediately before the inauguration ceremony, I was required to swear to the fact that I had not become a communist since the immigration interview. My reading of the Constitution is that I was free to become a communist the second I was sworn in. (Anecdotal. I am not a communist.) I found it a brain teaser.
    24
  86. And he has a family. I wonder if he ever sleeps, @richarddebono7092? What an excellent talk.
    24
  87. "Coerced" may be a better word, @FUCTFINO_.
    24
  88. Some dogs learn words for a few hundred objects, I think.
    23
  89. All You Need to Know About Adolph Eichmann EYES Medium HAIR Medium WEIGHT Medium HEIGHT Medium DISTINGUISHING FEATURES None NUMBER OF FINGERS Ten NUMBER OF TOES Ten INTELLIGENCE Medium What did you expect? Talons? Oversize Incisors? Green saliva? Madness? - Leonard Cohen
    23
  90. When I was young, I thought the New York Times was excellent.
    23
  91. His are such better commandments.
    23
  92.  @spidey6868  I have noticed that this a lot lately. War censorship?
    22
  93. Just get out and start doing things, Zach N. You are so young. It doesn't matter so much what you do, but throw yourself into something. Once you get moving, it leads to other things.
    22
  94. In this case, ir may be more that once someone makes a statement "Why do you beat your wife?," there is the risk of looking like a wife beater in talking about it at all, which is why such ad homenium attacke are such cheap shots. Aaron has absolute integrety, though. And it's not just him they are targeting. If we know about these smear campaigns, we can spot them for what they are, though. This was courageous of Aron, and, I believe, absolute;ly correct.
    22
  95. "Back into thought pens." Krystal Ball has a way with words.
    22
  96. That TV in the background locks this in time for me. My grandmother ("nanny") was of this generation. She remembered horses bringing ice for the icebox, survived the depression with humour and could beat a large group of my teenaged friends at knowing the punchline of every dirty joke ever invented. I wish I could bring her forward in time for one dinner. Damn, I miss that woman.
    22
  97. It is insane that semi automatic weapons can be purchased by a civilian in a store.
    22
  98. Jorge Arreaza has been so articulate through this entire Juan Guaido ordeal. He seems an excellent diplomat.
    22
  99. Right? I had not even thought of the Stoics as badass until I watched the Academy of Ideas. In college, my professor made them sound like people who were ridiculous because they tolerated reality. I imagined them as people who wouldn't have fun at a birthday party. So wrong.
    21
  100. And a national treasure, Peter The Great.
    21
  101. Excellent interview. Sad. Isn't it a blatant violation of international law? What recourse does she have?
    21
  102. What an interview it is, InfinitaSalo! Wow.
    21
  103. I wonder if people understand that, based on the statements of many, the actions of these soldiers were not unique? We drag ordinary people out of their homes in the middle of the night. Many people killed in drone strikes are not the people we intended to die, and we have done it anyway. Our wars of intervention are based on the lie that we are helping people.
    21
  104. This seems more precise than rhetoric. I wish I had watched these videos before I got married.
    20
  105. Go, Linda Sarsour. Thanks for suing. It seems that you should win.
    20
  106. This seems a smart strategy. I am pretty sure that some of those who voted for Trump are beginning to understand that he cares nothing about their interests. Also, congratulations on your new show. So far...stellar.
    20
  107.  @timontide6404 , I hope Aaron doesn't have to go through how awful litigation can be, but I hope they don't just get away with this crap? The main thing we need from Aaron is that he continues to use his gifts as a journalist.
    20
  108. Excellent interview. Many sides are presented. I came to my own conclusion. It makes the host look extremely credible.
    20
  109.  @compassionatecurmudgeon7025  It seems like we also might apply overestimations of loss after actual conflict and loss in adult life and in more prolonged ways. This can be limiting. I may have done it myself. In my case, thankfully, these things have largely faded into the background.
    20
  110.  @Scrat335  After working in government for years, sometimes it is simple incompetance. Out of any hundred people there are varying abilities.
    20
  111. Excellent point that we have also not signed on to not use cluster munitions.
    19
  112. Here he is with meticulous facts and analysis, as usual, Penny Armstrong. We are fortunate.
    19
  113. The Venezuelan Constitution and it looks as if it was expressly written to protect Venezuela's resources for Venezuela.
    19
  114. Agreed, at least to some extent. She tested the waters recently and had a positive result, JordanjamesX.
    19
  115. I thought he was good.
    18
  116. Stoics are the most badass, maxfield painter. A true nihilist would not even care to be optimistic. A stoic actually feels happy even when things are going badly and can care deeply at the same time. If that is not badass, I don't know what is.
    18
  117. This must have taken so much courage. These officers should get some kind of a medal. Thank you for reporting this. Why isn't it all over TV?
    18
  118. Thank you, Noam Chomsky, for changing my view of the world with your many videos.
    18
  119. When my sons were fifteen they had problems as weighty as wondering if their English teacher favored girls over boys. That boy soldier is so young. I can understand why he feels as he does. Thanks for this.
    18
  120. This man is good at being articulate and credible. It makes Pompeo look like a gangster.
    18
  121. As it happens, @rezakarampour6286. Somehow it makes it even worse that the world stands around with its hands in its pockets.
    18
  122. At the risk of sounding like a "fangirl" this is one of the best interviews I have seen. Incredibly articulate guest, and Aaron Mate effectively pulls in the salient complex factors that relate. I watch a lot of geopolitics and find this impressive.
    18
  123. Who are we "protecting" the oil from? I hope it is not the Syrians who own it.
    18
  124. Oddly, I have seen this type of an add be effective enough. I am often astounded to notice that they contain no facts. Still works? Often, yes. I don't think the people themselves even notice it the absence of real information on anything.
    18
  125.  @danielsaenz1325  Excellent comment.
    18
  126. I have seen these clips before. Put together in this way, they are brilliant at providing context, in their own words. That's excellent. I heard that Fentenyl is coming by the boatload from China to Canadian victims. I wonder where it really came from? Or why, in this modern world, there is an opioid epidemic?
    18
  127.  @lillian9221  In order to meet my 18-month old grandson, which they had prevented till then, I was forced to allow the Canadian government to kidnap me and force me to stay in a high-end hotel in Vancouver for two days. It was more expensive than it would have been in normal times, because it included prison guards.
    18
  128. Those who don't care about the crowd choose obscurity. It doesn't usually take striving. I wish for clarity.
    17
  129. How is this woman still in the picture? She looked like a crook in the 2016 primary.
    17
  130. I like how they are proudly flaunting the rules.
    17
  131. We see it, Philippe Santini. I hope many other people do too.
    17
  132.  @danmc3959  I doubt it. My guess, which is as good as yours is that she sat down with her staff and advisors, they talked about and generated ideas, and then the crew did research and analysis.
    17
  133. Medea Benjamin is an excellent spokeswoman.
    17
  134. Thank you for this reporting on the bank deregulation. It is alarming that members of Congress are that corrupt or stupid.
    17
  135.  @Arete37  Also, some of the onlookers had called the police.
    17
  136. She is excellent at voices.
    17
  137. Thom Hartmann nails relevant historical context here. The kind of thing we do.
    17
  138. I am glad that she decided to attend graduate school in spite of the naysayer. I am impressed that she also got a lot of her vast knowledge through self directed reading at the library.
    17
  139. It seems like some sketchy conjecture around the periphery with a generous sprinkling of bias, Wil Dasovich. What can you say for sure about the situation in the reeducation camps from watching this video? I would like to see a list of facts. What does it prove to watch a school and assume that the parents are in reeducation camps because some of the students don't go home? They might be. We could say that children singing "God Bless America" are being indoctrinated. The point?
    17
  140.  @rockets4kids  It's why I don't eat beef. They are as playful, cute and smart as dogs. John Berger had an excellent essay on pets and animals we regard as meat.
    17
  141. After working in government, a lot of what people percieve as "evil" is simple incompetence. Human nature/. Thank you. Excellent.
    17
  142. And what happened to their kids, as a result, Tuomas Holo.
    17
  143. The President's security detail have groupies? Go figure.
    16
  144. I donated funds to Bernie Sanders campaign. The Democrats worked against him during the same period they ran him as a candidate. I feel taken in. Knowing the game was rigged would have impacted my decision. If I get my money back, I will donate the funds toward looking into ways to replace the Democrats with a legitimate political party.
    16
  145. Hands off Venezuela. Their constitution was written to stop the looting. Reread it.
    16
  146. If I were British, I would vote for Jeremy Corbin.
    16
  147. I wonder what he wrote on Venezeula, as we surely made several breaches of international law. If we were not somehow "choosing to opt out(?)" of the international criminal court of justice? And he is chuckling with glee?????
    16
  148.  @stss2442  Under the wrong circumstances, many ordinary people will do things like this. Most of us have it in us.
    16
  149. This is a horrifying story. Thank you for reporting.
    15
  150. San Francisco needs more dispersed affordable housing.
    15
  151. He does have eyes that convey sadness.
    15
  152. I'm Canadian and grew up thinking of it as progress in 1960 when we got a "Canadian Bill of Rights." It offers similar protections to the US Constitution, on the surface and I didn't notice an "unless" clause. I didn't notice it all these years until now. There is no way to operationalize it as a legal instrument. The penalty clause for being inconsistent with the "Constitution" is that the Minister of Justice makes a report to Parliament. The one looking over this. We don't have much of a Constitution. At least it saved me from having to sing "God Save the Queen" every morning. I have lived in the States. Alexander is correct about Canadians who, in comparison are compliant without much thought, usually.
    15
  153. This story stands out. I try to picture how this was in a CBS documentary when the MSM is such a monolith on hiding the truth. There must still be journalists among them.
    15
  154. And Canada, Gnothi Seuton. What an admirable woman. I am sorry she is going through this.
    15
  155. Agreed. Excellent discussion, Mecha Reddy.
    15
  156. I think he is generally appealing as a classy. He fives the person of integtrity vibe somehow. Maybe by really being himself outside of his roles.
    15
  157. Sorry? Maybe you don't know the value of this kind of oral history. Thank you is more what I am thinking. :)
    15
  158. That could be, Megan Elbert. He now has 645,000 subscribers. I never miss a day and have learned a lot about how to track and project an epidemic as it unfolds. The science is fascinating.
    15
  159.  @chadimirputin2282  Some would say god help us, Chadimir Putin.
    15
  160. "God bless America" was a hideous thing to say at this moment.
    15
  161. Excellent research. This answers so many questions that I had not thought of related to the eating habits of piranhas.
    14
  162. I missed the lesbian sex. I watch TSoL regularly, and find them, like this excellent.
    14
  163. Congratulations, Pirate Party. I am impressed by your leader. The world needs more poeticians.
    14
  164. I hope this is all over the news. Thank you. We need to count those paper ballots.

  165. "The problem here?" I am glad that this brilliant Canadian writer has graced us with some insight into her process. However she learned writing, there is nobody like her.
    14
  166.  @fatmurray1  Also, Chris Hedges.
    14
  167. It's so disinformation that can neither be proved or disproved, Daniel Teng.
    14
  168. Thanks for reporting on this impressive work.
    14
  169. Are you kidding  @mbelma6329  ? We don't even get to see the report.
    14
  170. Thanks. I have been wondering how the UK stopped Mr. Bustani from speaking when logic favours hearing everything. Is there some "tipping point" where the MSM would be too humiliated by facts and the importance of not covering a news story? Few could be more significant than this one.
    14
  171. Alexander is intelligent, but there is much rambling nonsense to sift through. Flotsam and jetsam. This is superior in focus, Vali Tino.
    14
  172. Great interview questions too, Finn McCool.
    14
  173. That reminds me of my brother-in-law, who will never be an ex, as my sister never divorced him; even after no contact for forty years. I loved him, and probably still do. He lives in New York and we are not inclined to look one another up. When Lee was fifteen, he lived in Washington, D.C. He never met his dad. When he was fifteen, his mother ran off to Mexico with a boyfriend and left Lee to fend for himself. He was somehow brilliant, made it through and is co-owner of a fashion buying business in New York. I don't know how he did it, yet feel sure that he is deserving.
    14
  174. Thank you for bringing this to public attention.
    13
  175. I disagree with Trump on many things, but this makes me wish I had voted for him. This is excellent.
    13
  176.  @tmawulana  That seems likely. They deliberately have been keeping one hand behind their back?
    13
  177. Oliver Stone's 2014 movie "Ukraine on Fire" which documents the history of these neo Nazi groups in Ukraine can be found on Rumble. YouTube may be treading carefully, as it can still be found, but with a warning that it might offend us. Congress should have been forced to watch this and comment before taking action to support this war. Maybe we can think of that movie as a "indicator species" of truthful journalism. It may be too promotable as famous to be taken down, but think of all the smaller fish of whom we have likely never heard.
    13
  178. I wish I were above name-calling. What a twit our President is.
    13
  179. Living through the Depression gave his generation a humanist elegance that is harder to find today, Meursault. These times may do that for people today.
    13
  180. This video is excellent  @HayesChristina 
    13
  181.  @robertbrowne4049 , I was guessing he didn't get it for the extrajudicial drone killings.
    13
  182. Excellent and credible source. Thank you for this.
    13
  183. I was hoping that Donald Trump would pardon Julian Assange on his way out of office.
    13
  184. Isn't that a conflict, Johan Kotze?
    13
  185.  @Andrewjapaneserees  You need to find a good therapist, not be prayed over.

  186. Parts of this interview reminded me of a friend who grew up in Jamaica and lamented the day they got fast food. People living naturally and eating homegrown wholesome food have a lot of advantages, Pauline Murray.
    13
  187. This man could read a grocery list and stir people to action. Great voice.
    13
  188. If this were better understood, they might, Joseph Amchik. What would that take? If I can help, I will. Also, how stupid to say that the person who revolutionized journalism is "not a journalist." It seems the ultimate in journalism.
    13
  189.  @susan8471  Only some are like that.
    13
  190. They may be disingenuous crybullies, @tigrecito48.
    13
  191. Make them treat it. Find a new model for hog farming. This seems like more than nuisance. They diminish the value of surrounding property. It is likely that they damage public health. Effluent can be treated to Safe Drinking Water Standards (if that is still even a thing) if it is for a golf course in Arizona.
    12
  192. I have a sense that this was not an isolated incident. I wonder what sequence of events occurred that we know of it? How unusual was that?
    12
  193. I only worry about Mike Pence as President. Yikes.
    12
  194. In reading her books, I have sometimes found myself reading a phrase several times in a row, because it was so elegant. What a great writer, @OneSixSun.
    12
  195. I was skeptical that this was politically motivated from a different level than just the complainant, and I am glad I heard this. It seems like too many things to be a coincidence. I am sorry Max Blumenthal has gone through such ordeals.
    12
  196.  @infiniteinfiniteinfi  The best one can do is to find credible sources. Both Aron Mate and Max Blumenthal have done exemplary work with footnotes.
    12
  197. Excellent point on "a pill for every ill." I had a heart attack and initially agreed to take 6 different drugs for a year, and I am being told I will be more likely to have another heart attack unless I take them for the rest of my days. I would prefer to take nothing, and am even prepared to accept some percentage of acceptable risk, but hope I can find a doctor who will give me more of an answer that respects my health decision to look into it.
    12
  198.  @JustAPawnFolks  It would take a lot of people seeing essential journalism such as this, as I don't think people would be as complacent if they saw what we have been doing then and now. I hope that happens.
    12
  199. Vivienne Westwood, as the angel of democracy, is charming. Free Julian Assange.
    12
  200. Unlike the guy who offers proof that Trump is not a racist.
    12
  201. What a jaw-dropper. Excellent interview.
    12
  202. I hope he gave them adequate funding. In my experience, there are things on the ground that we can do on the field to at least somewhat improve the public safety risk of forest health, but they have a price, and it is typical for the state and federal governments to pretend they care while pointing their fingers at each other on who should pay for it.
    12
  203.  @danielcuevas5899  It doesn't matter. We could map residual environmental contamination risks today.
    12
  204. Funny, but not really. A FAX once went out against me to over a thousand machines across Arizona for my work in the public arena. It means, at least, that you are being heard, Max. I am sorry that happened to you.
    12
  205. If the Russians did this, they have done us a great service. We needed to know what a sham our elections are. Who would rather be in the dark? I am glad that Marcy Wheeler made the point that both sides did election hacking. Is this surprising?
    12
  206. Time travel. No wonder he is.called "The Oracle of London."
    12
  207. Why aren't these proceedings televised, with such global interest? It is if they don't want us to see this critically important case for the right to free speech.
    12
  208. "Once it is physically finished, it will be more difficult to oppose?" Does he think he is fooling anyone? Hahaha
    12
  209. What a great idea on who to interview, Pamela Macneil. The Grayzone just gets better and better. I hope they write "The Management of Democracy," on MSM coverage of stories they have also done.
    12
  210. If this happens, there will be impacts on hospitals and schools who are often challenged in having the funds to provide for the "people who do not exist.". I have already seen the impacts on my work as an urban planner. Think of it the next time you sit waiting in an emergency room. It impacts us all. It isn't an exaggeration that it kills people.
    12
  211. Thank you for this. I loved "On Liberty" when I was a young college student and am about to read it again. I am looking forward to it because I recall reading passages and thinking "this is just so good."
    11
  212. I have always had that same thing, and I know what he means by this. I wish that simply having a regular need to be alone would turn me into a great writer like John Irving. I suspect that he also has done a lot of work...just writing and writing.
    11
  213. That poor young woman. I hope that the court process is merciful. This points to systemic problems that should be addressed to provide support for other children who live in this hopeless position.
    11
  214. She does seem pretty and smart. How is it insulting to compliment a woman on her looks?
    11
  215. You have to stop thinking of yourself as a nobody. I think that you are fabricating a difference. If you feel that way, watch the lectures, read the two books and reflect. Knowledge is knowledge.
    11
  216. Your comment seems correct. People invest thought on the political divide and it keeps them from looking at issues objectively. I like this woman's attitude.
    11
  217. Having the biggest balls in the universe, Julian Assange probably is prepared for a multitude of backlash alternatives. Bureaucracy is a fierce defender of itself. The wildcard is that the Trump Team seems insane. My heart goes out to him for the sacrifices he has made and continues to make.
    11
  218.  @diegomontoya796  At least someone's still talking about it. That's something. It's ludicrous that this isn't a major MSM story.
    11
  219. Thank you for this. I hope a lot of people see it, as our MSM did a hatchet job on Julian Assange, and I doubt most people know the truth. It's hard to watch the extradition.
    11
  220. "If my uterus had a gun?" That's an attention-getting protest sign. Hard to forget.
    11
  221. It is fun to watch these journalists speak of this vital work with such excitement.
    11
  222. I have thought that Iggy Pop might take excellent care of himself in spite of his image. He is still in great shape and a fantastic dancer.
    11
  223. It is encouraging that some in Congress want to stop this immoral war.
    11
  224. This is excellent, Jam.
    11
  225.  @iris5678  It's as if they can speak and we can understand them.
    11
  226. There is a strong resemblance, Kay Ade. My heart goes out to this man, who speaks well. I can imagine if something like that happened to one of my sons. Julian Assange is a hero, but there has been such a smear campaign against him that I worry people don't know it. I hope that he is soon free.
    11
  227. I was a city planner for a large city. The attitude from the top was that we would prefer to have homeless people leave. They were given free bus rides to other cities.
    11
  228.  @manbearpig7521  He he has pulled this off with some people for a long time. They don't know the facts.
    11
  229. Thanks for this news. Ironic, a friend recently told me that she had heard that Iran was misreporting the coronavirus, and it was the World Health Organization that had said that. I looked this up this morning, and it was Mike Pompeo that had made the statement, not the WHO. We would do damn near anything to justify a war for the way "Iran treats its people." It is code for, we don't like the government's sovereignty. It looks as if we are the ones mistreating our people.
    11
  230. You are correct, Andrew W. Some may not see it that way until they absorb the facts of these matters.
    11
  231. He comes with a proven track record, Abshir.
    11
  232.  @msdemeanor6039  That was after keeping it private didn't work out. We are lucky this lawsuit was filed.
    11
  233. You should check out his show "Push Back." It is excellent, Oberst Kostlich.
    11
  234. For a year, Adrian Lopez. If the story turns out to be true, that's horrible.
    11
  235. I was more skeptical about this theory until hearing this Halil Greyfalcon. It is excellent journalism.
    11
  236.  @renehenriksen1735 Wouldn't that be something? Some people manage it. At different times, I have had a lot of one and less of others. It can be a trade-off when one facet is compelling or unavailable. Even one of the three can make the difference from being trapped in mundane life with no freedom and satisfaction. A lot of people have none of these things, so it seems lucky.
    11
  237.  @andyb.1026  There are many examples of ordinary men behaving this way in wartime.
    11
  238. I would love to see Noam Chomsky on Pushback.
    11
  239. I think of both of these guys as consistently excellent journalists, peil2451.
    11
  240. Noam Chomsky will be excellent in his testimony, as usual.
    11
  241.  @andrewmccarthy110  The cinematography was beautiful with every scene shot like a great painting. I will probably go back to the theatre and see it again.
    11
  242. This frightens me. I have always assumed that I have Constitutionally protected rights to privacy and free speech. How do these actions of our government meet basic standards of Constitutional law?
    10
  243. I agree. To me, he demonstrated that many people are ready to be activated to promote change. This is important. Unfortunately, he did not succeed. The Democratic Party worked against him. It seems that the demographic that supported him is increasing...there is a potential.
    10
  244. Just a young man hobby. He also plays the violin like Sherlock Homes...in dramatic bursts of music at random times. Entertaining to live with.
    10
  245. Thank you. It does not distinguish me. (Outside of the dramatic visual.) Everyone who has a normal lifespan experiences this kind of loss.
    10
  246.  @Phatkillz  This seems unusually significant.
    10
  247. Thanks for this informative interview.
    10
  248.  @lorimiller623  Some people do this because they want to destroy their marriage. It would be classier to leave instead.
    10
  249. Let's cancel that liar at the Guardian. If he won't answer a direct question on slurs without evidence? Sab Meier?
    10
  250. From what my dad told me, the corporate or government office of the 1960's was a lot like "Mad Men." It is critical that anyone with hiring or fudiciary responsability in government should be fired for compromising it. Regulating sexual behaviour in the workplace is an absurd nightmare of human nature. John Kennedy didn't get fired, but it ruined Gary Hart's career. There are reasons why we think of these two men differently. I preferred it when private lives between legally consenting adults was none of anyone's business. Cancel culture with unverified ad homenim attacks is facism? They can just grab anyone off the street and expel them or take them away? We should think about these distinctions carefully for effects on different segments. "The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor." - Leonard Cohen

  252. Yes, they should be pardoned, except they aren't criminals. Set them free. (Free to travel in the case of Edward Snowdon.)
    10
  253. I was five when the 50's ended. My honest recollection was pretty much "Leave it to Beaver." We had relatives outside the nuclear family who had problems (like being in jail) but it really was innocent and somewhat idyllic. At least until 1965. From this, I may have been lucky to have not reached puberty until the 60's.
    10
  254. He is an outstanding analyst, Johannes de Silento.
    10
  255.  @patrikpass2962  From a public health standpoint, and as we developed our intelligence, he was correct. If people had been able to choose, is a separate issue.
    10
  256.  @charlescarter3867  That is not how I meant it, and you know that. I hope he gets the freedom he deserves.
    10
  257. He has such a way with words, @liveontheverandah. "The Industrial Slaughter of Children" is brilliant, for example.
    10
  258.  @michaelfoye1135  One could argue that we are dangerously close to that precipice already. I view Bolton, Trump, Abrahms and Pompeo as enemies of the people. It is not only the victims of our senseless and misguided wars of intervention that have been thrown away. It is us. As a new citizen, I am thankful for our first amendment.
    10
  259. Also, don't forget Aaron, who knocked it out of the park today, Ronald Wharton.
    10
  260.  @mattnhormann  You sound as if you have a good relationship with him.
    10
  261. I was astounded when his Republican colleagues did not shuffle him out of sight after his first batshit crazy remarks in the debate. I have been increasingly astounded when, with each new travesty nothing happens. How Teflon can a guy be? If this pans out, it's how they got Al Capone.
    10
  262. Wouldn't that be something, GameNGrind? I hope he does it.
    10
  263.  @bryanhendrix1113  A decade ago, I noticed that I had seen the same faces working at my local Costco for a decade. It stood out compared to other stores, even then.
    10
  264.  @stoa7302  It appears so.
    10
  265.  @zacharysilver911  This channel makes me feel like I am king or president being briefed by my top analyst. That's good quality for a random woman lying around in bed.
    10
  266.  @singularitysquaredllc.895  Imagine if your family lived in the same house for generations. Would you believe it was not your home? Forward generations. You and your family have been kept in an open-air prison camp in the general area that used to be your home, and nobody in the world is doing a thing to help you. How do you feel? I have nothing to do with this, and I feel rage.
    10
  267.  @wendysalter  He is excellent.
    10
  268. You are correct, jacksprat418. Women need to take responsibility for their own behaviour.

  269. It may be that I already know that he is one...he just looks like a creep. Great background research.

  270. A giant being tied up by little men who don't like what he is doing reminded me of Swift's "Gullivers Travels."

  277. August Hayek, She sounds like one of those racist colonials. I wonder what the people of Korea thought of their lives at the time or of Ms. Bird?

  278. Thank you for this. I had never heard of an Alford plea. It makes the criminal justice system look like a farce.

  279. I am not sure this applies to Anthony Bourdain, shawn6669. I still admire his spirit and work. He loved adventure and exploring different cultures. He had joy...I keep thinking of one random show he did where he went for a flying trapeze lesson in New York. Last time I saw his show, he was articulate and functional. He reminds me in some ways of my sister, who loved life, had an excellent career as an artist, was a heavy drinker and then killed herself. I wish that she had chosen something different, but respect her choice, as her life belonged to her more than anyone. Depression is an illness like any other. RIP, AB...

  281.  JAN III SOBIESKI  We seem to have taken a different direction in international affairs that will make them US look like clowns of history. I hope it is not too late to gain a better option.

  282.  @ancientbear3280  You could be right. How would we even know if it was the biggest iceberg in history?

  283. This is excellent. I would like to hear every war given this kind of a "Smedley Butler" logistical analysis. First, we have to reach agreement on the facts.

  284. Regardless of the circumstances, congratulations to them. The important and beautiful thing about a wedding is the two declaring their love, not the flowers, or the pictures. It might even be more making the decision rather than the ceremony itself. It seems a statement of hope for the future. I hope they will be together soon.

  285. They might prefer a job and a stable life if they could find a path@,ikem669.

  287. I like this interviewer. He is intelligent and keeps it about what the guest has to say without the ego of adding his own personality, which is perfect for this.
    9
  288. It is difficult to imagine how being spied upon would fit any country's definition of the protection implied by the term "political asylum," Sam Cosentino. The UN spoke out against his detention. I hope that you are correct. In most US judicial proceedings, spying on meetings between a defendant and his attorney would result in a mistrial. I hope that the standards are the same in Britain.

  292. I had no idea even Jeff Sessions could be that much of an idiot. He must think of himself as appointed by God and his thoughts (such as they are) as coming from God.

  293. Canada arrested an Hauwei executive for something they claimed was implied in one of her work presentations. She hadn't committed a crime, but the US felt Hauwei would infringe on their market. She had not violated any law. A long-time official was fired for behaving as a reasonable person. Did the CIA threaten us or what? This does not represent me. What can I do about it? I hope my Hauwei phone is grandfathered in, as I want to keep using it in Canada. As a Canadian.

  297.  @thelastowitch  I was a teenager at this time. My parents told me that I should take typing and marry a "nice Ukranian doctor or lawyer." It could be that this was the first thing that popped into her head. Then she started reading? Years later, I wondered what listening to my parents would have been like.

  302.  @byza101  We can put the name of any army and use this kind os publicity to inflame public opinion. My son in the states recently referred to Russians as "shitstains" in response to what he had seen on the news. We need an independant panel of forensic pathologists to evaluate any of these stories correctly.

  314. Such an idiot. I am reading an interesting DOJ study that goes into four of the more famous recent police killings in great depth. When government corrects itself, it often takes time. To me, this study appears objective, and its existence at least can't be denied. Articulate guests. My favourite of the stakeholder groups is usually the citizen activists. Thank you for reporting this in a thoughtful way. I know it has become a cliche, but I am reminded of the rise of the Nazis.

  320. Think of where the trailer parks are in relation to when the parks went in. In many cities gentrification has risen to a next level in parts of town of this age, and they are typically owned by one or only a few people. In southwestern cities (for example) these appeared in the 60's and 70's in these locations. (There are other patterns in trailer park development.) In cities with rising housing prices these present a lucrative development market for higher density upscale urban housing. If we don't have affordable housing close to employment, it can take hours for the poor to get to work on public transit, bikes, etc. When I was Regional Development Manager, there were a father and son who took the time and came all the way accross town to tell me that it took them two hours to get to work and two hours to get back every day. I found their comment touching. Then tried to explain why the government should be involved in housing policy to protect the public health and safety. I used to say to developers, "That's exclusionary zoning, and it's illegal on Constitutional grounds." Even then, it would often be who blinked first. Also, I went to make a donation to support your work and wonder if this is quite functional yet? Looking forward to it.

  330. You sound like my oldest son, who at 19 had dropped out of college and failed the drug test to get into the military. He worked his way up to bartender in a high-end restaurant and has made pretty good money, but has tired of being a bartender and is about to return to college. If he is like me (who did not get my undergraduate degree until I was 32) he is more likely to finish this time. I ended up with career achievements that make me happy. What I am saying (in too many words) is that this may seem critical now, but at 19 your life is only just beginning. Keep the faith.

  336. We need to apologize for healing to take place. Slave labour gave us a leg up to have our advantage in the global economy. Epigenetic public health impacts span generations. I have a hard time imagining getting payments for what Stalin did to my relatives.

  337. Yesterday I heard of one US homeless shelter where they tested everyone and found that 37% had been or were infected. It seems that it might be typical.
    8
  338.  @utubeape  That seems plausible. (I don't know about Ivermectin as a treatment, though.) I have wondered the same thing about the Canadian medical system. We have the reputation of having health care for everyone, but it takes six months to see a specialist. That includes oncologists, where it seems likely that many of their prospective patients would not live that long without potential lifesaving treatments. On waiting to see a specialist on something not as urgent but with risks, I told my doctor that I felt the medical system had set me adrift on an ice floe as the Inuit once did to their elderly. She assured me there was a shortage of doctors, but I am skeptical. We can and do import many doctors from the world over. I believe it to be unwritten broad brush triage, which there are arguments for and against. There should be a public debate, though. A large portion of our collective medical expenses keeps people suffering with what could be regarded as excessive treatment when they will die soon, regardless. Are there likely profit motives?

  348. Bodycam and the recording of his call to the police for help, Kearon O'Brien?

  351. "journalism, the collection, preparation, and distribution of news and related commentary and feature materials through such print and electronic media as newspapers, magazines, books, blogs, webcasts, podcasts, social networking and social media sites, and e-mail as well as through radio, motion pictures, and ..." I contend that is for more than "commentary and feature materials." I think that journalists and planners have a lot in common. When I did something like this, hundreds of people just showed up to help me. It was nothing about me, it is just something they were wishing someone else would do for years. And didn't mention. Great interview. The Espionage Act was written in 1917 for a different purpose, not to put a political structure that gets around the Constitution in place. (It was more something like "snitches get stitches." That's the opposite.) Ironic that Great Britian has redone some of their laws so that this process will go even smoother for them next time.

  356. Great point, Henk Verhaeren. Wouldn't self-reflection on how to design a secure process be more productive? If elections are to be considered "sacred" we should manage them so that they represent the will of the people.

  357. How do they not feel an ethical responsibility as journalists, Cartoon Head? It got my hackles up to hear Mike Pompeo say, "We can't let them use our free speech rights against us." I am not even a journalist.

  358. Articulate guest.
    8
  359. Recently, Scott Ritter made a point about Ukrainian soldiers that could be more quickly trained on unfamiliar weapons if they had a background in training for other weapons. This made me wonder what portion of the Ukrainian fighters have had military training, as I have heard reports that they armed civilians as some other portion of the effort.
    8
  360. Politics are a discourse. Even with Bernie Sanders failure to win the nomination, he changed the thinking of many people. I believe that this was a significant accomplishment. It seems likely that he will do the same thing here.
    8
  361. What about people who challenge me in a way that has caused me to grow? Walking away would have caused me peace at one time. I have changed, and now I would hate walking away. A world where people had no will would be quite peaceful, but would there be a point to it?
    8
  362. Opinions are not precisely lying. I am glad that Aaron Mate had this guest on the show, Laurie Auld. The debate is a great teaching tool. The troll farm is such a drop in the bucket in the scale of a US election. The effect looks negligible.

  363. Excellent show today, Jimmy Dore. It would have added to briefly list who some of the bank appointees were.

  365. On 6, it is pleasant to talk to someone with so much fervour. It could become predictable, unless you are somehow better at it than I. 10 seems excellent advice. It does feel empty to have no one. Thank you.

  366.  @philhampson2120  A public servant could honestly earn millions, but Biden's actions in Ukraine are suspect. A public servant has to take a lot of measures to avoid the appearance of impropriety. That is a separate thing from raising a son to be an entitled knob.

  368. Thanks for this. CBC reported tonight that he was charged with "leaking national security secrets" and that he had been evading trial by "hiding in the Ecuadoran Embassy." This is a deliberate misrepresentation, and I doubt that many people will notice without independent media such as you. I can't recall another threat to the first amendment as significant and worry about what we have become. The reality of these wars of intervention is not reported or understood by the American people. Max Blumenthal's recent book, "The Management of Savagery" is a well-footnoted eye-opener. We have created an enormous mess.

  372. Wouldn't that be something?

  373. "The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty" contends that there was prosecutable fraud in the subprime mortgage disaster. I would like to hear Bethany McLean's opinion on this book. Although I am not an attorney, this seemed well written.
    7
  374. Thank you for featuring these guys who spoke out. This would not have been easy. (If I am not mistaken, the phrase "If they can fog a mirror, we'll give them a loan" made it into "The Big Short.") I don't understand how the wrongdoing discussed here wasn't prosecuted.

  375.  @amandaknopp9032  Extremely brave. I loved him and watched him on tv every chance I had. He would be considered less outrageous now.
    7
  376. Thank you for reporting on the new Cabinet. Also, I have been fondly thinking how much I appreciate an item of news that would use a phrase like "Lying his ass off" in a story about Trump's claiming to have saved jobs at Carrier.
    7
  377. Thank you for showing these things in this original way. I love maps. Everything has a spatial application. I ended up becoming an urban planner because I love throwing data on maps. It can be so revealing. Ian McHarg's Design With Nature is one of my favorite books.

  378. Obamacare seemed like a compromise that would preserve the HMO monopolies and provide health care to more people. These are not compatible goals.
    7
  379. I will need to listen to this more than once and will get new things out of it. There are so many topics touched on brilliantly that I may have been distracted from the overall thread. I don't even care. I wonder why we and other animals are more adept at spotting cheating than altruism? Wouldn't recognising altruism would also be beneficial for survival? I love the prisoner's dilemma.

  380. Thank you. I have read about the hero's journey in Joseph Campbell's books. I had forgotten that he based this on Jung.

  386. This is well spoken. It is different from the history I learned in elementary school. I once worked on a long-range general plan (What does a community want to be in 15-20 years?) for a small newly-incorporated town in Arizona. I was shocked and horrified that one proposed version of the oral history of that town praised one figure for being a good Indian killer. (This was in 2005.) Better minds prevailed. I have worked with three different tribes in Arizona and developed a respect for their connectedness to community, spirituality and the land.

  391. Alexander may have noticed these things, as I noticed things. Not everyone wants to hear these things is more fixed in place than one mught imagine. It's brilliant to keep going.
    7
  392. If there is one story that might break through our politicians and MSM lies, it could be this. I hope it does. If not, you are getting it in the historical record, but that won't change our murderous trajectory. Thank you for this crucial work.

    7
  409.  @kkay3784  I don't find meaning in the terms "right" or "left" anymore. Biden introduced the Patriot Act, is a warmonger and enabler of big banks. Trump seems immoral and has surrounded himself with criminals like Mike Pompeo and is a loose cannon. I have no chance of voting on my three greatest concerns, wresting control back from the banks, reigning in the national security state, and stopping these senseless wars of economic (pretending to be humanitarian) intervention. At least we have not gotten into any new wars under Trump, not that we haven't been trying.

  410. I don't think many people in the west understand that non-Jews are treated differently under the Israeli Constitution? It goes against what we pretend to believe, Maria Turner.

  412. Surely one man cannot be held accountable for the human rights of the entire world, E DVG? Few journalists have made his kind of sacrifices to show us how the world works. Oddly, I don't have the impression that he is a leftist.

    7
  416.  @establishmentdisliker372  Don't assume it isn't sometimes impossible to trace, regardless. The AICP Code of Ethics, which couldn't have been thought over by smart and sincere people more, advises that those in public office should "avoid the appearance of corruption" (Loosely paraphrased.) That seems wise. What has happened to us?

  421.  @Jcastro9444  Say what you will. I have had beloved narcissists in my family of origin. Whatever it is that they are doing, it would be a mistake to paint them as one thing or another. I have felt this way at different times myself. Somehow not lately. The human condition for some. It doesn't necessarily define them (us). They were much more.

  422. Are you sure Jan? You are missing out on Lunchables.

  423. I hope so. Maybe. I had to read "On the Beach" and "1984." We all did. That didn't appear to change history yet, except for our understanding.
    7
  424. This at least is more along the lines of what typically happens in Canada, year in and year out. I liked your comment about his whimsical enactment of "exceptional law." It's much scarier when it comes to freezing people's bank accounts because they are political protesters.

  437. Hey. I quit cold turkey when I found out I was pregnant in 1988, and have been smoke-free for 29 years. You kids have been good for us.

  445. @Iliyan Nedev I haven't been on a date in six years. There have been some minor enlightening observations on relationships and what they mean to me, but I can think of more life-changing things. You should talk to the MGTOW movement, as they seem like they would be more relaxed if they thought of it as a religion.

  452. This is horrifying. We treat women and children this way? What result is this intended to accomplish? Thank you for these stories.
    6
  453. denNicola, denNicola, denNicola. That is a bit extreme. How about, "I love you, but I have so much information that you get on badly with women (including me) that dating would be a miserable experience for both of us?" (There is a lot more to "genetic material" than combining or not combining it.) Or, "I'm gay?" How about, "I like your tats, but I don't think a meth-head would make a good father?"

  454. Botton teaches philosophy to many who would not typically have a reason to hit the philosophy books in a way that is clear, concise, and engaging. Ideally, one would explore many sources to gauge the accuracy of perceptions. I would be in favour of a bogus philosophy video channel where someone did their best to sound factual while spouting lies. This would be a test of how much we had paid attention. I feel like I can establish a broader insight if I hear a variety of divergent interpretations.
    6
  455. I am pleased about this. It is long overdue.
    6
  456. I am a Canadian who recently bought health insurance for my American son who lives in the States. In the course of my discussion with the agent, she mentioned that there would be a financial penalty for not buying health insurance by a certain date. If someone cannot afford to buy health insurance, this seems counterintuitive. Charge the poor for being poor? I am glad that we can afford insurance.
    6
  457. I did not attend a Catholic school but can relate to your comment. Some people are more comfortable conforming. I didn't have that choice, so I had to figure out my values for myself. I am pretty sure that I would not change things if I could because I have loved much of my work and life as a result.
    6
  458. You are not unique.

  459. I have lived in both countries. In my opinion, the Canadian system is better for more people. It is not perfect. There are often long waiting times to see a specialist, even in the case of rapidly progressing illnesses such as some cancers.

  460. Clay I have taken the opposite approach with weed. I deliberately ran out and will now keep my word on the six month hiatus.

  465. Welcome to my life. This was definitely underdiagnosed when I was a kid. I didn't understand why I was getting bad grades even though I was reasonably bright and had good intentions. This can be hard for a kid.
    6
  466. From Canada...our working classes have taken a hit from the recession, but everyone has health care. Working class people are never financially wiped out by medical expenses. Nobody fails to receive treatment because they cannot afford it. It is not perfect (long wait times to see a specialist) but the system costs a lot less without having a middleman (HMO's) extracting money while adding nothing of value. I have lived both places, and we are far better off up here where there is no "health insurance industry."
    6
  467. It's a never-ending process, as it should be. My favorite parts to it have withstood all kinds of crazy tests and discussions for a long time. This might be the real value of the Constitution. It is politically unlikely that someone would say that people should not have the right to free speech (for example).

  470. Here in Alberta, yesterday's evening government-sponsored news informed us that 85% of Albertan's are in favour of the government-sponsored pipeline. This was followed by an ad promoting the pipeline sponsored by the Government of Alberta. I am not surprised that Albertans are not too worried about global warming in favour of the pipeline, the latest science has been absent from our news.

  471. I watched a report on "The New Atlas" that looked at the site and left me thinking that it may have been Ukranians that wrecked the havoc at Bucha. The circumstances remain unclear.

  472. Now that you see it, dance yourself right out of there, Mike Connor. You should not allow anyone to mistreat you.
    6
  473. That seems likely Kal Amu. I was mistreated by an officer over a traffic incident because he felt like it because I was not deferential enough. He later looked me in the eye as he lied in Court about what had happened on a different incident. I was a middle aged white woman on her way to the supermarket, and the arrest was for a data entry mistake over a ticket I had paid. I wonder if we surveyed thousands of people how many would have stories like this.
    6
  474. Joe Biden proudly introduced "The Patriot Act." This doesn't surprise me.
    6
  475.  @Rambleon444  Unless you provide some facts, I will suspect that you made that up.
    6
  476. This is how the UN should work, Desert Mantis. If it makes it into political reality or not. Articulate woman.
    6
  477. I don't agree with every point Jordan Peterson makes. It seems like elements of psychology and Christianity. Regardless of what one thinks about Jordan Peterson, he has helped many people become better. How could that be bad? I bought his book for both of my sons, as it certainly will not hurt them. Unless you have read his more scholarly work, "Maps of Meaning," which I find excellent, it seems arrogant to say "We get the intellectuals we deserve." Unless you meant it as a compliment.
    6
  478. Thanks for featuring this informative guest. I have been struggling to understand this, as it seems wrong to impose our cultural values on other people, yet this should not apply to things we consider criminal. Surely there are practicing Muslims who do not oppress women. I can hardly wait to read Ms. Mohammad's book.
    6
  479. What he did took a lot of career-risking courage, Hocus Pocus. It doesn't seem logical that he would then cave.
    6
  480. It was fun to watch the journalists faces as he spoke. :)
    6
  481. It's a racket, Robert Telford.
    6
  482. I have watched them in the wild, and they deserve their hard-working reputation. The whole family was swimming and placing logs and sticks. It was adorable. How did you end up with a beaver in your house?
    6
  483. Why would they deny flu vaccines if they are donated and available? It seems mean-spirited.
    6
  484. Lawrence Wilkerson is excellent, Bloops Floops.
    6
  485. I think the same about John Mearshiemer, antedaug1
    6
  486. When we don't know, speculation is at least still thinking. It does seem like informed speculation or educated guessing.
    6
  487. @Cool Blue Recharge Also, there may be a gap between what you are expected and paid to do and what seems right. If we were to randomly interview 100 guards, we would find others who enjoyed their role.
    6
  488. @Cool Blue Recharge I was suggesting that if you randomly took a hundred people, some would be the "bad guards," for a variety of reasons. PSTD can be from things people have seen or from things they have done.
    6
  489. Excellent reporting. I had not expected that part at the end that provided the greater context and analysis. Imagine if more news went that extra step in educating the viewer about why this would happen.
    6
  490. It's hard to argue with the precision of air photo interpretation, as used by geographers and the military, Mario V.
    6
  491. This was beautifully filmed, and not just the drone photography. When I see that it is this guy, I know that I will be interested. I love geography.
    6
  492. The bureaucratic reinforcement of academic mediocracy is nothing new. I always think of "Gulliver's Travels" on the topic.
    6
  493. I watched Aaron's questions he would ask Robert Meuller this morning and then the news on today's appearance. Excellent combination for illumination. They look like such disingenuous fools to still be pursuing this.
    6
  494. Are they trying to run us off a cliff, Lee Lilly? That would make us "disappear."
    6
  495. And the universe, A. Esquivel.
    6
  496.  @Rampart.X  You live in a dream world.
    6
  497.  @anonymouscommenter7689  Agreed. He could do it. I hope he does. (Former Democrat.)
    6
  498.  @drumlessons833  I pray that he is, but doesn't end up being punished for doing the exact thing we need to fix things.
    6
  499. I am fortunate that my grandparents were able to move to Canada, work hard, and make better lives for themselves. I wish that any family with could find those opportunities.
    6
  500. As she requested, SuperQuackDuck. What a journalist.
    6
  501.  @OhNoNotFrank  My point was on their authentication process, whatever it is, surely must be accurate. That these documents have never been proven inauthentic. Once in the public domain in any form, it's pretty impossible to deny them.
    6
  502.  @sovietred7371 , Which also starts some wars.
    6
  503. What an example of excellent journalism, Richard De Bono.
    6
  504. I would read it out of curiosity, even if it was a topic that did not interest me, GeckoCkCkCk.
    6
  505. They both are @Bouboule44.
    6
  506.  @martell203  He doesn't have to be right every time to be worth listening to, as he is a walking encyclopedia of what it behind many current events.
    6
  507. Excellent point, Theo Davis.
    6
  508. Same here  @beckythronson4027 
    6
  509.  @namarie325  :)
    6
  510.  @paveldimitrov2830  I too am impressed.
    6
  511.  @johnalbano7362  I wasn't intending to correct you, only thought of some historical examples and was reflecting that it seems human nature that this kind of thing happens. I may not have articulated well.
    6
  512. It seems idiotic for a justice system to file charges against someone in secret. How is that Constitutional?
    6
  513. Excellent segment, Ben Norton.
    6
  514. Some believe the Jewish population was closer to 3.2% before 1948, @thornil2231.
    6
  515.  @lejeurusse1701  At least he is brilliant at international diplomacy.
    6
  516. There was also one in 2019 against the carbon tax and for the pipeline that never got this level of international attention, Gabor Sarik.
    6
  517. I wish she were running in my district in Arizona. I find things too hardwired to vote for anything, I believe. I find Biden disgusting but plan to vote for him because at least we will still have an EPA and not sell off the national parks. I want to stop the war machine and have an economy for everyone. Help! Help!
    6
  518.  @Seldomheardabout  However he does it, this is excellent.
    6
  519. Lucky for us, John Himal. I have learned from him. Thatg man is a walking encyclopedia of geopolitics.
    6
  520. I think it's more Stalinism that needs to be abolished, @Tocktail.
    6
  521.  @scottowensbyable  That sounds absurd. Are the Democrats the cause of industrial pollution?
    6
  522. This is excellent. I loved the "Wallace and Grommet" reference. It's odd how this also applies to fields that are not science, like urban planning. It is not science because there are no controls. It's precisely the same in that fixed guidelines make sense but should be questioned from the minute they are put in place, and it's human nature to resist that for various reasons. We are funny that way. Does Shakleton need any women? I have been drawn to things like that many times.
    6
  523. They have my vote.
    6
  524. Some things are shocking in perpetuity, VN Alexander. Noam Chomsky has been informing us of such things globally for decades, with clinical precision and credibility that could be ignored but not refuted on facts. His books and lectures changed my view of the world. It was a metanoia, as it forced me to let go of many beliefs I had long held dear. Do you have similar items to not being shocked in your CV?
    6
  525.  @swhaster  It would be useful to see how that was measured, as it is a different scale of population, This is not the first time I have heard that China has reduced mass poverty in recent years. We have gone in the opposite direction.
    6
  526. Thanks. I wondered the pattern of this, you oyo. I wonder how many people breathe unhealthy air in the States?
    6
  527. Because he has no inclination to interrupt unless for a good reason, Theresa Barzee. It makes him excellent at interviewing. Way better than me at that.
    6
  528.  @Woodyjims-shack  As if he can, WoodyJim.
    6
  529. No, I am pretty sure it is more your fault, Sentient Unknown.
    6
  530. I worry that the best we can do is to get such things into the historical record and hope that people catch on to the truth. Thank you for doing this work, Grayzone. Excellent guest.
    6
  531.  @isuejehdhxyxyhxhshehwhhebe1120  Any suggestions for us?
    6
  532. I often wondered how it would be to work in a store instead of something that woke me up in the night thinking. I might have been happier in some ways and less fortunate in others, Beata Porgorelska.
    6
  533.  @rodgerasai  They are both awful, but I think she might have killed more people by now.
    6
  534. Same. It was somehow 95% complete for years, William Tell.
    6
  535. Agreed. It's hard to see what that has to do with our temporal nature, which one could just as easily think of as a reason for becoming a nihilist, OpaqueDragon.
    6
  536.  @IamGabrielTorres  Or any?
    6
  537. Great framing of this, Democracy Now!
    6
  538. Who knows where she gets her crazy ideas, Marta K?
    6
  539. Finally, some action by Congress. Have the visiting Australian MP's had an impact? Thank you, Gabriel Shipton and Max Blumenthal.
    6
  540.  @maryanderson2759 , I experienced a metanoia when I realized how we behave and on what scale. "We" are villains. Most of us would not go along with it if we studied it in detail.
    6
  541.  @katechen9958  He is also witty. I like where he compared the coup to an extinct prehistoric animal.
    6
  542. The BBC recently exposed our poor behavior over there. If they mentioned the war logs, we would be reminded of their silence during the last decade. Did they just not care, d1nonyd ars?
    6
  543.  @Swnsasy  Even better put some thought into what you get into in the first place. A cult might find me annoying.
    6
  544. I took a current affair course at Scottsdale college 35 years ago. The orifessor has us read "The Guardian" as an excellent source of alternative news. They appear to have changed.
    6
  545.  @bryanhendrix1113  That and I like shopping at a store where the cashier can tell me she has medical benefits.
    6
  546. Think what you will of him, Catherine White. Trump is funny, having caused me to guffaw many times.
    6
  547. In my case, Tiffany Moore, I wonder if I were a different person, maybe the person would be right for me. He has taught me many life-improving things.
    6
  548. The passengers are being released into quarantine at US military bases. The Canadians among them will be boarding a plane chartered by the government and quarantined in Canada. I wonder the risks to other people in disembarking and travelling to quarantines?
    6
  549. It can be tricky if you show people their shadow, R H. Try showing a "People's History of the United States" to your family, on your family. I did this. They get mad.
    6
  550.  @LH-uh8qn  I would love to go someday. From knowing my grandparents, they do seem lovely.
    6
  551. Wow. I did not realize that Russia and China had tried to get this on the UN agenda. It wasn't put there? What is the point of the UN? Excellent reporting.
    6
  552. I can think of cases where that is right, yet can't picture Bernie instituting a gulag.
    6
  553. He came on the show, Cyrus 369. It is useful to hear and evaluate what he has to say. I concur, though.
    6
  554.  @johnsagar1152 I cried when I saw that he was really out of the running in 2016. I agree with his domestic policy and Tulsi on our war machine. I will vote for Bernie if I have the choice. I would vote for Tulsi if I could.
    6
  555.  @jennifers5930  I would love to vote for them both, Jennifer Sherwood.
    6
  556. So we did these things before, but it was not so publicly known until we had an overt racist talking about them? It seems preferable to shine some light on them.
    6
  557.  @SyNcLife  :)
    6
  558.  @SuAva  You are right. That stands out.
    5
  559. Thank you for presenting this articulate guest.

  560. After 30 years of being a planner, that isn't the half of it, Kollin011. Engineers typically have minimum safety standards specified and accepted by their professional organizations. The more site specific, the greater the potential liability, so this will often create an acceptance for not doing the stupid thing. The bigger the planning and/or the longer the time horizon, the fuzzier what people are willing to accept when the truth is not convenient to them. I spent years fighting against doing everything to codify not doing the right thing for the future, because it could have theoretically impacted their bottom line by a small percentage years into the future. These were issues that would have huge social environmental or economic impacts, but for other people in a different time. It was always a difficult batttle because most people do not have a good concept of these issues or their importance. Once the Homebuilders Associatin launched a massive ad homenem campaign where they faxed negative information about me to every local government planning agency in Arizona. Fortunately, the recipients were planners and I was known to them so it was probably a wash....it did damage, but it also caused many people to support me. I once had a woman fake being shoved by a planning comittee member and a scathing letter calling for my resignation appeared at the top of the editorial page the next day because I failed to protect her. It was a stunt. I have seen hundreds of stunts. I have met "environmental activists" who are actually doing it to extort some favour completely unrelated to the environment. (Also many wonderful environmental activists.) I have some crazy stories. I have always believed that, if people understood these things better, the short sighted tricks would not be so easily done. The complexity is what makes it difficult to get people to understand because there many trade offs between social, environmental and economic values. It is seldom a simple binary question. If the system was not corupted by economic greed, it would be less challenging to encourage more people to demand a sustainable balance.
    5
  561. Maybe I should hang on to that condo in Arizona.
    5
  562. "Force is the weapon of the weak."
    5
  563. Even in the major cities, small groups of like-minded individuals with common goals are a good way to work. My best work has been in this kind of setting. People who respect each other sitting around a table. Sometimes even disagreements can produce the best ideas. That kind of an environment will often spark my own thinking in ways that would not have happened if I were working independently.
    5
  564. I am a retired urban planner. I did not articulate my point well. After doing a lot of work on consensus and also mediation, I think that a consensus is not always a good or implementable policy. It can be. Often what is paraded out as a consensus is actually not. ((Unsurprising when you look at who is running the process and why.) A successful consensus starts with all the cards on the table and everyone with the same access to information. Everyone walks away from the table a and a little unhappy, but they get something out of it. If someone cares deeply and remains disgruntled, they will come back and try to mess up the "consensus.". This was a bit rambling. A consensus is useful, but not without its flaws.
    5
  565. I am speaking of Naomi Kein's 2007 book "Shock Doctrine The Rise of Disaster Capitalism." It is a polemic, but a good one.
    5
  566. Thanks for this. I was not aware, thinking that these kind of things happen in China...not here. If I were in prison, I might want to work to pass the time. It should be a choice, and the workers should be paid.
    5
  567. I am pleased that President Elect Trump is citing Wikileaks.
    5
  568. I appreciate this effort, yet wish that it was not called "our revolution." I appreciate Senator Sanders capabilities, yet I don't see how a revolution can be led from within the Senate. I am glad that he is in the Senate, though.
    5
  569. This kind of "statistic" sometimes skips any reference to the fact that being in the country illegally is the criminal history.
    5
  570. I doubt that the perfect human could ever exist. Oxymoron.
    5
  571. If President Obama responds to this in the way I hope, it will make a lot of Americans feel better about the government being on their side. There is such a crisis of confidence.
    5
  572. I did not hear this part of Jung until now. I like it. Thank you.
    5
  573. I prefer to focus on the fact-based information at hand. I hope that nobody buys this. The lack of response to information on the Democratic party irregularities worries me. Thanks for this.
    5
  574. The first. Good point.
    5
  575. I am impressed by Sarah Harrison. She seems a less-mentioned, yet pivotal player in this story. I wonder what she imagined she would grow up do when she was small?
    5
  576. The Wikileaks cables are online and searchable. There is a massive amount of information. So far, what they seem to reveal is a view of America that most Americans have never seen. Given the sorry state of the politics of this country, it may be wise to look at these critically. Poignant message from Brian Eno and others.
    5
  577. Also, Aaron's questions are excellent, @userbf9ur1hq6v.
    5
  578. What a pathetic display of weasel words from the Minneapolis police. It sounded as if he was saying "only we professionals are qualified to have an opinion" and "20-20 hindsight."
    5
  579. Great interview questions and interview.
    5
  580.  @everready2903  Some call him "the Oracle of London."
    5
  581.  @RyanHorn-fk1sg  I like it except for some of the people.
    5
  582.  @gerardrbain1972  Those working two jobs are unlikely to show.
    5
  583. Treasures to humanity, Yurik.
    5
  584. "Acknowledged to come from the Kremlin?" Those obvious liars, Jebusjoose.
    5
  585. Thank you for this excellent series.
    5
  586.  @deansomers4810  Big Walmart has been awful to local governments in taking the incentives they offer to get the tax revenues that the stores will generate. Walmart often jumps ship, leaves the store abandoned and accepts incentives from a new foolish city.
    5
  587. I am surprised to ever agree with the Rand team. Surprising.
    5
  588. Puzzling, 360 Films Gold Coast. A lot of people have recently been speaking out for him in Europe, which seems newsworthy.
    5
  589. The God of Small Things was illuminating for me, amrit bansal.
    5
  590. There were anomalies that had nothing to do with the vaccine as well, Joe. It may take a while to understand all these better.
    5
  591. Brave is correct. She is more than rising to the occasion.
    5
  592. Maybe people who believe in her values that have the capability will rush in and help her. I hope so.
    5
  593. Our Alberta prices at the pump are suddenly half what they were a year ago, Douglas Helliwell.
    5
  594. From the looks of this, they sure know how to throw a protest, GUZE SPITERI.
    5
  595. What an excellent talk, @nettaleafay9533. I have followed Max's work for several years. He should get a journalism award for this.
    5
  596. Are all of them @wlonsdale1? They are the same age as many young men who have families. We wouldn't know what brought them here without objective study.
    5
  597. Ms. Thunberg is an excellent spokesperson.
    5
  598. Any politician who stands for something against the grain risks disaster, Tommy O Donovan.
    5
  599.  @theonly6359  On the internet? Why wouldn't all biolabs be secret? They have a lot at stake, apparently.
    5
  600. From Alberta, our Premier spoke last week on our government's subsidizing new pipeline capacity, as a defensive move against actions taken by "Putin's Russia." He did not say what they were doing or what Putin had to do with it. I wondered if he thought "Putin's Russia" was all people needed to hear to believe that we should pay for a pipeline that will then be turned over to private interests? I doubt most people were really listening or will give it a second thought.
    5
  601.  @marcillioficino4663  They might like him better. From his voting record on war and the big banks, he will be more predictable.
    5
  602. I am proud of these American protestors.
    5
  603.  @oofballz4328  Hahaha. Because they are jealous of our freedom.
    5
  604. Thank you for your excellent reporting this story. I stand corrected.
    5
  605. That's a block of people and their families who will not vote for Trump in 2020.
    5
  606.  @realisrael5379  We are not all like that.
    5
  607. If he is real or fake, he reminds me of my uncle Ted, Grace White Feather. We don't choose our relatives. He did have a brilliant sense of humour.
    5
  608. I hope you are correct, Norman Q.
    5
  609. It is hard to imagine these psychos worrying "Oh no. I will be judged poorly by history."
    5
  610. Right. But lots of books on Kindle do not remind you to start reading as a giant pile of unread books does. I like having the collection. Time makes one have to sort them.
    5
  611.  @addammadd  My dad was strong, but some things are hard, regardless. He had to learn to walk, talk, and write by hand again. After that day, he never drove a car or walked up the steps to his office again. My mum refused to get him alcohol and cigars, which made him mad at first. Then, they grew to appreciate each other like never before. Victor Frankl included suffering with dignity as one of only three things that give life meaning. It takes strength.
    5
  612.  Jesse Bogdonoff  If the Democrats don't learn from what happened last time, they never will.
    5
  613.  @Roneck888 , It's shorthand for "I also thank you."
    5
  614. Coastal erosion?
    5
  615. You too, Tom.
    5
  616. I can see your point. Recently the Chinese business association came out in force when a safe injection site was placed in their midst. It still makes sense because that area has the high concentration of junkies. Here in Edmonton, we have incorporated 24-hour public washrooms that will be safe for the homeless into the Boyle Street community. The City has adopted a ten-year plan to end homelessness.
    5
  617. That would be the smart design solution, jajjfahisdjoigfe. I got to know this guy once because I walked by him several days a week. He was always in the same spot, near a statue of Jesus standing with his arms outstretched. He was harmless and sweet. (I don't mean his smell.) I started to bring him water and sandwiches. One day I saw that someone had brutally beaten him. I never saw him again. I won't forget him. Why would anyone beat up a guy like that? How could a person be that evil?
    5
  618. Just calm down, Anthony W.
    5
  619. I have become convinced that he could kill a baby on tv, and nobody would blink, Valerie Angell. I doubt he would go to prison.
    5
  620.  @aveirenses  It seems likely that they would if they could. I doubt Wikileaks could claim they had never been inaccurate unless it was the truth, as there are many forces who want them gone.
    5
  621.  @noahholywood8630  I have US and Canadian citizenship and prefer living in Canada.
    5
  622. And the horse you rode in on, E DVG.
    5
  623. I am certain that it's stressful, Koorali esque. That's why I have been supporting the landmark media outlet, the Grayzone. "Victims of Grayzone?" Hahaha. I have seen a lot of this kind of economics in urban planning. If everyone had all the information objectively you would be saving millions. If one sees it.
    5
  624.  @paulgriffithsart  He looks shifty.
    5
  625.  @joeya5438  I WAS GOING TO SAY HITLER!!
    5
  626. To me, this information is shocking and new. After following your work for some time, I find it credible. Wow.
    5
  627. I hope a lot of people read it, Dennis Miller. I had the same experience of reading it.
    5
  628. These are people, though. It's a tragedy. Rebuilding Syria would be excellent.
    5
  629. She doesn't even blink. Also, she sounds like a voice of reason, which is always perfect. With the blithering babel-tower of conflict that both sides have become, I find her refreshing. Others might have the same response.
    5
  630.  @kiwikeith7633  The poem "Everything you need to know about Adolf Eichman" may be applicable.
    5
  631. He is articulate, Dre Williams.
    5
  632.  @tmnt10000  Hope springs eternal. Okay. This is a huge step in the correct direction. The piece I saw after this corrected my thinking. There are two sides to this conflict and misrepresenting the USA on a white horse will only prolong it.
    5
  633. Articulate too, albert sparks.
    5
  634.  Bretton Woods  That is why everyone should always question everything as real scientists do.
    5
  635.  @hershchat  I find his approach as geographically clinical as possible. Maybe I share biases?
    5
  636. It would keep the National Forests and EPA (such as it has become) in place but feed the war machine and keep enabling big banks, Thomas Sirman. I thought about it but can't bring myself to do it.
    5
  637. I had to look up who that was, Nortekman. Definite resemblance.
    5
  638. Except that we crossed that threshold a long time ago. This is how normalized it has become, xnebiax.
    5
  639.  ROBIN WILTON  Nuke you.
    5
  640. .
    5
  641.  @johnwright9372  Then what happens?
    5
  642. All grown-ass people are sometimes like this. This is not good but also not necessarily that bad. Sometimes friends see the flaws in one another, set boundaries and love one another even more for being human. It seems a better foundation than pretending to be perfect. We are all flawed. Also, minor point, but sometimes a thing really is all someone's fault. This talk makes me think I was married to a high-conflict person.
    5
  643.  @terrybuchanan1  Lucky for us.

  644.  @BS_Profile  That seems wrong. My point was that you should think through what the relationship would be like. If you want me to work every Saturday to prove that you are dominant, you want a different woman. This test would inform both of us, and you would fail. If you need me to do it because the work sometimes requires it, I might be perfect. It's mutual respect I referred to. I clearly understand what my ideal employer or man will be like.

  647. My kids (in their 20's) are familiar with and listen to music from the 60's. This makes me proud of them. It's not just music that has dumbed down. Still, Brittney Spears "Work Bitch" cracks me up every time I hear it

  648. Breaking through is an excellent way to put it, as it has been like a wall.

  649. I have worked with politicians and find her refreshing. The ones I know used opinion polls to develop a platform. A lot of people will be trying to discredit her. The thing that jumped out at me was the comment that she didn't finish school and worked at Starbucks, which I loved. After reading your comment and thinking more about it, this adds to her credibility. I would vote for her because it makes her look honest. She has earned her stripes in a far more challenging way than getting a B.S..

  651. I think I know what you mean about Evangelicals after reading Chris Hedges "American Fascists, Citizen Harrison? The people he describes in that book are not Christians by any stretch. They have been pandered to in several obvious Trump administration staffing choices.

  653. In a perfect world, she would fill in the other side of the story and represent the truth to get us out of these wars. I might have thought of voting for her if she had been more honest. We made a hell of a mess over there with no workable strategy. It is hard to be cogent when getting elected is more important than an outcome that results in so much death and destruction. She is counting on the fact that our media has not informed us of these realities.

  656. Except first, where there are assets such as the home they worked for most of their lives, they can be stripped as few people have the time to personally care for their elderly relatives as they once did. Given modern-day stresses, brikfiend. It's a marginal incentive to keep them alive, given that home health care requires no infrastructure, which is not as good for the bottom line.

  657.  @mrvn000  I made this point to someone who thought black people should be paid reparations in America. I see arguments for both sides, but my Ukranian white ancestors faced similar hardships to slavery and had nothing to do with America of a different time.

  672. It still exists at the moment, Jan Behaehel. He may be more concerned with the goals of Diem25 and seems well-positioned to be a realist. He paid a price for his integrity. I am glad he told us about his negotiations with the EU, which many, including me, found eye-opening.

  674. Excellent discussion. I am going to spend the afternoon watching Wag the Dog.

  675. Some of the people I love the most are a challenge at times. I agree if you mean this in the global sense with all things considered. If I spent enough time with anyone, there would be times when their absence brought me peace. An example of loving someone as one should and finding peace in their absence is when my sons were beginning violin players.

  678. After the election, I learned that the Democrats have traditionally put their finger on the scale to pick a candidate in the primary. If I had known that Sanders did not have a chance of winning, I would not have donated money to his campaign. I won't be deceived in that way again. I don't want a legal system that protects the government from the very people it is supposed to represent by fooling them.
    5
  679. John Campbell is an excellent resource. I watch him too. I have heard different interpretations of this. I missed the part where he said that measures should be taken if people don't do this voluntarily. I have too much respect for Noam Chomsky to call him a "scared old man" for saying something that I disagree with, even if it is mistaken. I have sometimes considered Noam Chomsky as "almost always right." Perhaps there are facts I have been missing? I respect Max Blumenthal and almost always agree with him too. What do I know? My kids are double vaccinated and still got COVID,. I had not thought of it in this way. It does seem inconsistent with the anarchist I have adored Chomsky for being over the years. Perhaps he would change his mind if he learned that everyone will get it? If he was talking about cameras that could be used to regulate traffic flows, which is surely a good thing and tracking people every minute of every day to give them a social credit rating, that would be a valid point. I used to work with traffic engineers and there was nothing we would disapprove in what they did. That technology could be misused against us, as surveillance though. I don't understand why he tells people to vote blue, but he does say many cogent things in between.

  689. As a planner, I believed that the city belongs to everyone. After facilitating the siting of some homeless shelters, I learned that it is the neighbours who adamantly don't want them around. It was the politics of the squeaky wheel. We sometimes ended up putting them in industrial districts. This was not ideal for the homeless.

  696. This is unusual advice, IntellectualRickAndMortyFan. My sister killed herself. After reflection, I believe that it was her valid decision regardless of the psychological impacts on our family. It was her life. Her choice. Not without consequences. My sister drove her car out into the desert and shot her head off. This is not something one expects. It becomes difficult for survivors to take even the simplest thing for granted. I think it might be best if both you and I quit the suicide counselling business, though. If someone were unstable enough, your words might sway them, and it is not a decision that should be made impulsively. My sister planned her death for at least a year. That helps me in respecting her decision.

  712. I agree, lydia. Anecdotal, but enough to scare me...I have an architect friend who generally appears to have his head on straight who felt that he was running for his life from the Moonies because he accepted an invitation to a party from a beautiful woman. If it could happen to this guy...yikes. Years later, I went to some psychologically exciting classes. People started inviting me to social events. Each time, I tested them by asking "Is it okay if I bring a date?" The answer was always "no" so I declined to attend. I have always wondered what I would have gotten myself into?
    4
  713. Good point. I am 61. Recently I read "The People's History of the United States." It was a real eye opener. How did I get through school and a major part of my life with such a white washed version of history? I am happy to have a new world view because it seems accurate.

  719. It would be a good idea to draft some code changes to disallow these panels if they were the cause of the fire and have been excluded for safety reasons in other places. Also to study where they have been used if other people are still at risk. Also to look at the fire and building codes that allowed this including how they are implemented, as these may be lacking. Protecting the public health and safety is one of the most important roles of government. I am glad to see this activism.

I hope you also discuss loans that have been restructured after a default so they would not fail and what seems the liklihood; will China trap debtor nations in servitude as we and other colonialists do, or do they have different objectives. A new vibrant economy for many countries and people. If so, would some be treated differently than others in ways that invite speculation? Which do you think? I am about to watch. :)

  738. Thanks for this news. Ironic, a friend recently told me that she had heard that Iran was misreporting the coronavirus, and it was the World Health Organization that had said that. I looked this up this morning, and it was Mike Pompeo that had made the statement, not the WHO. We would do damn near anything to justify a war for the way "Iran treats its people." It is code for, we don't like the government's sovereignty. It looks as if we are the ones mistreating our people.

  740. I sense that your comment is on this latest, woke iteration? I was a young woman breaking into my career, my boss made a pass at me, I turned him down, and for years after that he said things to try to make me look like an idiot at meetings. It was 1988, and I didn't think anyone else would hire me as an urban planner if I complained. We all knew each other. I thought up what work-arounds I could to get by in the office. I never did get promoted, so I figured out that I could do the things I wanted to accomplish in my career if I did them through my professional organization for free. (Nobody expects that. :)) I think this woman is an idiot. What this has to do with experiences like mine is beyond me. I have sons, and it is hard to imagine that all this doesn't make it even harder to be a young man than in previous generations.

  757.  @SteveninTune , I didn't make my point. In "Man's Search for Meaning," Frankl writes of the Nazi prison camp where he met Jews as vicious to their fellow Jews as the cruellest prison guard and a camp doctor who secretly spent his own money on medicines that he smuggled in to ease the suffering of the prisoners. I have met people from many different cultures and found myself responding to their humanity and them to mine. It seems ludicrous to me to think of soldiers on one side being "bad" and the other "good." You don't have to agree with me. Also, it's "mumbo jumbo."

  787. These weapons are most famous for mass shootings of the innocent. I am one of the people who has been saying it because I could not think of a reason why a civilian would need a weapon designed to mow down a crowd of people. If it were my store and I was there alone facing a mob of looters, I might, though. I wonder what would have happened if the looters stormed the jewelry store and were shot in that way? Legal impunity does not seem likely? I can't think of an example like that. It did protect that store without anyone getting hurt.

  802.  @bmurray942 , He would not get this interview if he were not being respectful. A diplomacy is an excellent form. Also, the guest called Aaron Mate a heretic, which may be akin to "when the opposing attorney refuses to shake your hand, you have won."

  806.  @l.w.paradis2108  It's the "free market economy." Which doesn't lie on everyghing. A correction? God help us?

  808. Putting fence around Congress is a also good metaphor for their attitude on Medicare for all. Double purpose.

  809. I believe this was the same day she told the UN, "Do your job." Analytical Reactor. She is an excellent journalist.

  810. They are so young.

  811. It is a complicated thing to fall in love in this profound way and then wonder if the person is real. Especially if they want you to change and change. If they seem unwilling to accept the fact that just like them, you have a full range of human emotions. Is that love? A little fear seems reasonable under these conditions. Still, it is worth waiting to find out. Because if it is real, it is something rare and valuable.
    4
  812. It is down to such small units of time. I had a DHL driver help me out when he waited about three minutes for me to get my emergency package together, but he had to use a trick on the system. That must make this a stressful job.

  817.  @Yobbo14  Cities have social geography, with some areas having resident life expectancies of Botswana and others Sweden. You can tell a lot about a place and its people by the indexes of similarity or difference.

  818. Also, underrated, @GunGirl1776.

    4
  831. Except will we? Are you or I about to go out and do something after we watch Democracy Now as we sip our morning coffee? Yet it does seem vital that someone is doing this. There needs to be something like this seeping into people's conciousness on a daily basis. Imagine if the greater media was not bought and paid for.

  832. This is the same thing that I often tell people bonitaroache73. It is unlikely that you will fool even one person with acting if they have seen you behaving poorly and formed an opinion.

  841. I have thought that he looked like a greedy cartoon villain rubbing his hands together as he does. It reminded me of the character in "The Lorax" who rubs his hands together while repeating, "money and power, money and power." Now also Gargamel.

  843.  @paulmatters2641  When the truth about Julian Assange's "treachery" comes out, he will be exonerated, and we hear a story about our own recent government corruption that is bigger than Watergate. The Edward Snowden revelations were the tip of the iceberg. Congress has been lax in their oversight of the CIA, which has reached directly into the lives of American citizens with deliberate misinformation. If it doesn't break shortly, be worried. For reference, Ray McGovern is doing some excellent work on this.

  846.  @stevebengel1346 I was once mistakenly arrested. Later, I asked the City prosecutor for an apology, and he refused, saying, "The police never know who is going to stab them in the neck with a pencil." That's no excuse.

  852. You raise an excellent point, Wayne Bess. This is on our doorstep. Children taken from their parents has been on network news for days and is the kind of story that people relate to their own lives.

  857. I am not sure, Jake Abbot. This one scared the hell out of me. Your country seems possessed by the devil.
    4
  858.  @nancymesek  It does generate a lot of interest and discussion, at least. Is he their most significant threat, or is your comment akin to WWF ads where different characters discuss how they will smash and eradicate one another? Here In Canada, we are presented with parties and their chosen candidates. There are no primaries. If we think of them as a team, the discussion still shifted many to a progressive way of thinking. If I were making a variety of policies, a centrist has the highest chance of getting through the most mundane and a few unusual ones. Biden has supported wars of intervention and deregulation of banks that got this country in such a mess, though. I worry more about the black heart of the Democratic Party, that hovers over the stage like a puppeteer, and seems controlled by corporate interests.

  859. An increase in the probability is reason enough to act.

  860. To cease feeling is one way to eliminate emotional pain. As someone who developed a pattern of this method, I now think that it should not be done. Emotions are as important as logic. Without feeling, one is not truly alive.

  865.  @DerekDominoes  How so?

  866. Perhaps we only never saw this side of him from seeing him in a movie, Lynn Petti. I was surprised because without other information there is would be no reason to assume that he would stand out as a writer and speaker.

  867. Ben likely did this because his name recognition might get coverage on the news. I hope it was covered on MSM.

  868.  @deborah6298  He is in politics and does it way more than other politicians I can think of. They only do us a little good if they can last. Or they are no good at all.

  869. Thanks for featuring this story. I recall this historic interview on Democracy Now. Sadly, it was so long ago, and he is still not free.

  870. One could argue that the risk to our personal freedoms from having arbitrary mandates is a national emergency. Can citizens enact one?

  872. George Galloway is excellent here. "It's not self-belief. I believe in what I believe in."

  873. He is the President and now has an interest, though. I hope he takes action against internet censorship.

  874.  @katechen9958  This is how he sounds with the right translator. I noticed that he comes across differently when the conversational tone is somewhat like his own than at other times..
    4
  875. I am glad that Wikileaks was in place or we probably would have never heard this story. It seems odd that the Washington Post and N.Y. Times had no interest. Hopefully, they learned something from the experience.
    4
  876. Thank you, my friends.
    4
  877. At least a lot of people (including myself) now understand how primary elections work. I donated money to the Sanders campaign. My friend who supported Clinton told me that primaries are always rigged by the Democrats, and "everybody knows that is what they do." I would not have donated money if I had known in advance. It may not have been technically illegal, but it was fraud. We should change the election law for greater transparency.

  878. I went to an Easter dinner yesterday and was so relieved that there wasn't ham, D-man the captain. If people viewed them as intelligent and playful as dogs, they would see the line between pets and other animals differently.

  887. At least she is publicly saying that they worked on Brexit, eric moss.

    4
  892.  @mrsleep0000  Or when there is a shortage of unskilled labour, which is currently not the case. Migrant workers these days are often the elite fastest pickers you could imagine. So don't assume you could cut it.
    4
  893. Zombie corporations don't seem like capitalism, which would fail in a free market without government intervention. It is the result of corporate interests in owning our government.

  894. @Liberty Cat I can't recall one being this obvious. Maybe I was getting the wrong news.

  901. I send money to the UNHCR every month because my family were immigrants who struggled to build a life and won. When I asked how the funds were distributed, they told me they give them to the refugee families, who can best decide how they need them. I have wondered about the mechanics, but I can't think of what else to do unless changing the refugee-creating system we have in place for war profiteers. I hope this gets through to more people and things change.

  902. Creative work around neutralizing the electoral college. Smart idea.

  903.  @duncanschwebel7264  One way would look at this would be as if it were a vote. How many stayed with Maduro compared to the150 defectors?

  904. Going with the science would accept these results, Super Duper Highlord of Indominable Alpha. My kids, who have had COVID will be glad to hear they have such high immunity.

  905. I wish them luck. Changing government can be difficult.

  906. From the historical record, it appears that climate is supposed to change and that species are supposed to go extinct. We will be gone soon enough. Why not buy ourselves some time, if we have a choice, Hybrid InfoDesk?
    4
  907. Regardless of the truth of your statement, it would look that way after he criticized Jeff Sessions publicly for not recusing himself. It made him look as if he does not understand the rules of government. Recusal from weighing in with a conflict of interest is an important feature.

  914.  Atheos B. Sapien  It is somewhat funny if the person is playing identity politics.
    4
  915.  Atheos B. Sapien  It isn't a slur. In the context, it is a compliment to Native Americans that someone pretended to be Native American. Some people think of it as a prestigious club.
    4
  916.  Atheos B. Sapien  I was not laughing at "Pocahontas," who was really a person. She was a heroine. I was laughing at "Fauxahontas." If I told that joke to Native Americans, I know, I am pretty sure they would laugh. Pay us no mind if you don't like it. It's a free country.

  921. There are similarities, Jim Mooney.

  922. You have a wrong idea on millionaires, who are not all that stupid in raising their children, Artem.
    4
  923.  @thefarmlife4720  From the interview, I liked what he seemed to say with his book, which is "what ridiculously large amount of money do rich people need, and why should they change?" I know little else about him.

    4
  927.  @islamic_thirdposition9466 After the virus was acknowledged, they did an efficient job. It doesn't make me long to be under a totalitarian government, though. The Chinese government is not faith-based, but a religious government is not required to explain any of its actions. One would have to be of the faith to view that as ideal. Western democracies have become a veneer of human rights because much of the truth is never shown on the news, and people are apathetic.

  928.  @cyrus3696  I would like to know what as many of the players think directly as possible. You never know what facts might be useful in learning about something. Background.

  929. @Peter Brown, I hope she chooses to do that. Few are as articulate on this crucial subject.

  930. How my sons had heard of and been impressed by elite sniper teams when they were still small children had something to do with video games, I suspect.

  932. @Babs Kaz That might sound extreme to me if I had not been forced to quarantine for two weeks for not having an app on my phone. Oh, Canada.

  934. Excellent and illuminating. Thank you.

  935. Excellent point to bring up that there could be lives lost if we were to build a more collaborative world. It is difficult to see how it would be more chaotic than what we have now.
    4
  936. Well put. There is an inherent ethical conflict in allowing a system that profits the more people are sick.

  937. Peace seems not that simple, Ayoob Alsharif.
    3
  938. Same here.On BLM, they did get information out and on the news about black people being shot by the police. They informed us on the racist institutional responses to some cases. They lost me when I heard they were having protests where they just stopped traffic. It seems a crazy form of protest to penalize random people trying to get somewhere. From what I read about BLM there are several groups in different cities. These are autonomous from one another with no central leadership. I can see advantages to that structure, but it let some of them go off into the weeds.

  939. Go Wikileaks.

  940. There may have been an Austrailian influence. There are few Kangaroos in California.

  941. Home prices are more reasonable, but more people are living paycheck to paycheck with no savings, so that is relative.
    3
  942. This seems correct, Robert Langford.

  943. It is not as if life as we know it will cease to exist if everyone has an adequacy of what is needed for a stable life. Just get some of the money out of offshore accounts.
    3
  944. This is an easy accusation to make because the election, in general, was run like a circus of ass clowns. There were a lot of "mistakes."
    3
  945. It looks like an organized crime syndicate overseen by the bought and paid for.
    3
  946. I think that some police target and abuse poor people, especially black ones.

  947. This seems to be the Bahai faith. It seems similar to Unitarianism In that it accepts elements from different religions.

  948. "Don't worry too much about saving the others?" Let's save them. Who are they? What should we do?
    3
  949. There is a story in my family that we were never supposed to mention. In the late 1949's, my grandparents built a neighborhood store. A woman came into the store one day and called my grandmother a "bohunk." (I am not sure what this means, but it made everyone mad.) My grandmother was arrested, and later released without charges. There was a small article in the newspaper, and all the relatives were horrified that one of us had been in trouble with the law. I am telling it now, because I admire my Grandmother in this story.
    3
  950. I love the way myths of different people at different times have so many common threads. Actually, he does not seem that similar to Jesus, except maybe that he changed everything. Dionysus seems darker. This reminds me more of Eastern religions that more fully embrace death and destruction as a part of the cycle.
    3
  951. Thank you for this. It reminds me of my career as an urban planner. People will insist on being oblivious to physical realities that do not fit with their plans.
    3
  952. Once, my kids brought a stray cat home when we already had a dog. You are right. It depends somewhat on the personalities of the specific animals.There is a trick to making it work. If you keep the cat confined to one part of the house for a week or two, they gradually become used to each other by scent. They somehow negotiated the interspecies communication.

  955. I am pleased to hear about Canada's new legislation, and that we can play that role.
    3
  956. Thanks for reporting this and including the footage of the Swedish prosecutor. The fact that she will not be finding out anything new was a lame reason to drop the investigation. She didn't have the evidence, to begin with. I agree with John Pilger that she looks bad.
    3
  957. I'm impressed.
    3
  958. Fine. Why do we care, John Doe? If you want to be married in this way, good for you. If you ever want to be married in a different way, you will change. I have not had sex with another person in years, but I would find it difficult to think of myself as "married to celebacy." I think of sex as one of the best things ever. It is the relationships that come with it that have gone south for me and left me without. Once I got used to it, it mattered less and less. Still. :)
    3
  959. If you are, in fact, married to celebacy, you should not put women through a "how to be happily married" seminar. They might get the wrong idea. This must be you in your life coaching role....but I had not planned on getting married or thought much about it until you brought it up. Actually, if you are happy, I am happy for you. It is just difficult for me to find celebacy ideal and your comment reminded me of sex, which I don't have. I am able to manage this by not thinking about if much. I apologise for being snarky. Your commnent made me think of sex and celebacy. I am less thrilled about these things than you. It is a personal choice and I am happy for you.

  960. It seems a cruel joke to pretend that this was a valid election, and that all problems within the Democratic party will be removed by blaming a single person. The bottom line is that the Democrats are putting forth a candidate after pretending to have an election race where one of the candidates was deliberately handicapped. It is not even a question of what candidate won. (I did care.) I will not be "proud to be an American" when my papers come through. It would be ludicrous to feel pride in a political system that is nothing but a farce.
    3
  961. This reminds me of a passage from "The Kite Runner." "I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day n the winter of 1975....That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past....Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-six years."

  966. To varying degrees, David Jones. Also, those who influence others in life, although the trail can be more abstract. Noam Chomsky will, in both respects.

  967. I have met people like this, and seen the kinds of things they can do. There are different degrees of psycopathy though. One enjoyed seeing people suffer. I wonder if this was the pathology combined with something else, because the others were less this way. One was kind to animals and had many pets.

  968. Respect to Sean King. I am pleased that he speaks his mind, even though the New York Daily news endorsed Hillary.

  969. Trudeau's problem here may be that there is a lot of fight back on this from the provinces, who came up with their own plans to meet the goals of the agreement. All but Manitoba have done so. Here in Alberta, a carbon tax recently went into effect. I enjoyed Jane Fonda's comments, but the clips I saw not make clear what she was saying in her protest. Close the oil sands altogether? The reporter may have deliberately avoided airing the parts that might have made this clearer. Our Premier followed her, making a statement to the effect that "She doesn't have her facts straight and she has no business coming up here and telling us what to do." I suddenly realized (from their comments) that many of my friends are climate deniers. Alberta is the closest thing we have to a "Canadian Texas." Yikes.

  970. I was not whining about it, as I think it is good overall. Nonetheless, my mum had to wait seven months for a colonoscopy, even though she had internal bleeding and her doctor suspected colon cancer. The way to pay and get better or faster treatment in a case like this is to go to the States and pay for it. There was no obvious way to pay to "cut in line" here in Canada. Maybe there should not be. Maybe waiting times should just be less. There must be choices in designing a medical system. I have wondered if having long waiting times is a choice to not spend such a high proportion of the funds allocated to health care on elderly people who will (by definition) not live long. This is the example that came to mind, but maybe healthcare is always triage.

  971. From my experience with politicians...when they are not promoting some interest, they go exactly with opinion polls because they think that will get them elected. This results in the belief in everything and nothing, not leadership.
    3
  972. After watching the CNN coverage of Hillary and Bernie, it is interesting to see someone from CNN pretend that it was objective journalism. It was slanted inmore than just the amount of coverage...the questions asked of each candidate were markedly different. How exactly this influenced the election cannot be known, only guessed at.

  973. I have seen elementary schools in Arizona that did not have a library, a science lab, or a working washroom. A lack of money can diminish opportunity.

  975. This does not surprise me. Thank you for reporting it.

  976. Police the police and bring pressure to bear on their employers. This would have been equally hideous if the boys had been white. I have a sense that black people get a lot more of this than white people. Justice is supposed to be blind.

  977.  @pelvis_assley  Someone told me this a few years ago and I was skeptical. My studies have since shown me otherwise. You can be a Kremlin Bot#33 all you want. At my recent US naturalization ceremony, I had to swear that I had not become a communist since my last interview and then listen to a judge yap about freedom of speech for an hour. I felt like raising my hand and saying, "What if I want to say I'm a communist?" I am not one, but I suddenly could not think of anything else. I'm not a communist, but I plan on speaking to all the communists I can find just for the hell of it now and in the future.

  978. It would be useful if he elaborated on the protection of intellectual property. There are components of this that should be the subject of vigorous political debate on the news. Nice work. I hope they do not vote for it. Thank you.

  979. I am a woman. I have women friends without being derogatory toward men. Is that a part of your bonding ritual?
    3
  980. Thank you for reporting on the war in great detail. I remember seeing the details of the Vietnam War every day on the news. It seems hideous that most Americans will be oblivious to how we actually conduct ourselves as they wave their 4th of July flags.

  984. I may be taking liberties to imagine that I am allergic to chemical burns.

  985. Thanks for reporting this and including the footage of the Swedish prosecutor. The fact that she will not be finding out anything new was a lame reason to drop the investigation. She didn't have the evidence, to begin with. I agree with John Pilger that she looks bad.

  989. This is also a successful political strategy in America, where the notion that the government is out to "take our money and give it to the poor" is pervasive in some groups. Corporate welfare is more often called a "stimulus package" in the news.

  994. You are spot on about the most effective belief system for relieving human suffering, valar. I can envision the high tech arc that saves these chosen few. A concept hardly new to religion.

  995. I hope that you are right that this won't be soon.

  996. Well spoken.
    3
  997. Well, there are other forms of exercise. I like it, and the whole idea of World Yoga Day. There are so many forces to drive people apart. I love the psychology of people doing a simple act to feel connected to their thoughts and thus to one another.
    3
  998. Thank you for staying on top of this. I just saw this on the Canadian news. I guess that it came from some US newsfeed. It was short and only said that the operation was initiated by Obama and that it was a "big success." We are in so much trouble.

  1002. Thank you. This is useful. I think that this might be what I know as "indica" and "sativa" strains. Our strains are called things like "Bubba Kush" and "Jack Herer." I will ask my supplier about this.

  1003. Wow. I have thought that I would kill Hitler, but never to this level of detail. Such a precise thinker. I saw this or something like it within the last year and was astounded to learn that there are genes influenced by stress or other factors that can be "turned on" in subsequent generations and influence behaviour. I had never before considered such a thing. My comment was on such a small part of what this excellent speaker covers here.
    3
  1004. Maybe just better regulations. People generally accept the concept of having a fire code. It is just that there are always those who want to get around codes to improve their bottom line. This is one case where the police power to protect the public health safety and welfare is unquestionably legitimate, and there should be no compromises. There is generally a heavy lobby for compromise unless these are set in stone, yet allowing changes to reflect improvements in safety as technology advances.

  1018.  @suzimonkey345  Banning the Burka is dictating what a woman shouldn't wear. Is the woman forced to wear the burka, or did she make that choice herself? There was some discussion in France on banning the burkini, which covers a woman's body but not her face. Is that cultural persecution?

    3
  1045.  @Bittzen  The speaker is intelligent and articulate. It would be informative to ponder his many excellent points. Unfortunately, I have an unfair omniscience in citing what it's like in 2023 but fast forward to what failures of government in the economy have done to the living standards of the commoner. If we restrict the ability of the poor to travel from place to place, in search of employment, for example, we have sold their freedom.

  1048.  @peterbailey6151 I meant that she threw in words that made it sound as if she was praying "for the children," which might be what it will register as to many people asleep or distracted in front of the news. To them, this might sound like motherhood, when her motives are anything but.

  1060. Thank you for watching this so I don't have to. I found the idea of those two debating for our presidency disturbing enough. I wonder how much research went into "I was raised middle-class" instead of answering the question that might get the most votes?

  1091.  @michaelkatz275  That's only legitimate if you state them. Are you Julian Barnes? Journalism presents some quagmires. He showed the world Mai Lai and had many skills, including reading upside down. In my youth, I fantasized about journalism as one of three paths I might be suited to and chose another. "Reporter" was what it was like in my fantasy, and lately, after looking at the MSM, that level of stimulating reasoning and subsequent research to find the truth is rare.

  1116. The city is like a living organism, YepIts ThatGuy. It is all connected. Some think that government should not engage in this kind of social planning. Given that every action has its consequences (intended or otherwise) not doing it is a kind of random social engineering.
    3
  1117. My friend who also works in a shelter has told me that when there are enough people, they form their own systems of policing for protection of the weaker Iamtop. After watching some videos on the homeless in Japan, where the mentally ill are taken care of made me think that it would be interesting to study the homeless by country. I suspect that socialized medicine, for example, would make a huge difference.

  1123. I agree with you on the imprisonment, jesus alvarez. There should have been lockups over bailouts in more than one recent historical incident. I think that Americans rising up with their many guns and making the government accountable is unlikely. There are better ways built into our own Constitution. Being less asleep at the wheel may be a more practical solution. Democracy Now has a left slant (often not far off my own), but I admire what they do immensely. Imagine if the news on TV was this honest in what they chose to report. It would make a difference, I think.

  1148. I am in the States and got a call from my pharmacy last week to advise me that I can come in for a free shot of the vaccine. It isn't just that we don't have the data; governments are still promoting the vaccine while keeping us in the dark. I stopped at the second shot.

  1157. This guest makes some astute observations I had not considered on the timing of these things and in general. I have even wondered if we pay such careful attention to mowing our lawns en masse because we think we are protecting ourselves from native Americans wanting to sneak up on us and take their land back. In some insane way, it has united us. I just noticed that my phytonutrient vitamin c spray is a brand called "my kind," and thought of theories that the fascists rose to power in Germany partly because there had been recent devastating epidemics that caused people to shun outsiders. Tribalism permeates our culture at varying levels of consciousness.

  1166. Idle posturing, delray30. You are no more likely to attack us than we are to burn down the White House. It seems unlikely that a country of our scale has impacted US jobs to any great extent.

  1167.  @shafferd90  Some falsely claim that our Constitution does not support free speech. If we go along, it won't. It sounds cheesy, Daniel Shaffer, but I became an American after reading the Constitution. Planners get their legal authority to "protect the public health, safety, and welfare" from precise things about the way it has been written and interpreted in subsequent precedent setting court decisions. Many people don't see how big that is.

  1179. I heard someone say that it force the vote would not have worked anyway, Julian nairn. Even if it did not succeed initially, it would have been a hit with American people who want and need Medicare for all. That can shift the greater politics. It could have been significant. It's a pretend manifesto.

  1180. That is sometimes required, LibertyMatrix. As an urban planner, I met many types of environmentalists, from the geniuses who thought up the Citizens Growth Management Initiative to the guy who offered us getting his environmentalists to go away for a fee. Even my favorite had a taxidermized desert tortoise that he carried in a bag to pose in the foreground of his slide presentations. I thought that was smart. There are risks to any energy source. If one zooms out and looks at all the factors that influence the future, the risks in disposing of nuclear waste are minimal compared to stopping these wars over energy or global warming. We might develop a better way to do things someday but appear to be on a speeding train.

  1181.  @sunnycheba I suspect that I do it regardless of how much I would rather not. It seems unlikely that I will ever know the truth of it. Maybe I am not repressing memories. If you are intending to tell me that my past was even more brutal than I imagine, what purpose does it serve? I already laugh at realities that most people would find shocking, I think. What does it say about people's lives that we were commonly envied?

You might be a better man for a relationship if you had fewer assets to concern you more than wanting the joy that a loving relationship could bring. Marriage is only for some. Not for you, maybe. I imagine loving someone enough to love them until I die. On the other hand, I haven't been on a date in ten years because I wanted to be single. It's an aspiration. Wish me luck.

  1249.  @mountzod  Thank you. It seems profound to me. There are many different comments that I could make about my sister. It could be my own lens that chose these items. I had to find a way to make sense of it. She drove out into the desert near Phoenix one day four years ago and blew her brains out. She didn't bother to leave a note. It seems to me that she would have fared better if she had put people ahead of things. The last few years of her life, she seemed more a manufactured image than a person. She had many fans but did not know how to connect with people. I could see how it happened from her childhood.

  1259. I worry that this message may not be getting through to a lot of people. I live in Alberta, which has the third largest proven oil source in the world. Climate denial is our official government policy, even though we have a "Climate Leadership Plan," the projections used to plan and finance the proposed pipeline go out thirty years and has an emphasis on selling Canadian oil to Pacific Rim countries; an expanding market. There is an ad campaign sponsored by our provincial government called "Keep Canada Working." It appears on the evening news. In response to criticism that failing to plan for an exponential increase in the global carbon footprint is short-sighted, our Premier Rachel Notley recently appeared on the news extolling the virtues of the pipeline and defending the 23.4 million spent on the ad campaign. She made some fuzzy allusions to an unveiling of "incentives for research into new technologies" that would be unveiled two years from now without hinting at what these might be. According to the same news show, 85% of Albertans support the pipeline. Coverage of the climate accords and protest visits are presented without reference to the proven links to current and increasing environmental disasters. The number of the ten deadliest heat waves in recorded history that have occurred since the year 2000 is nine. That's from Harpers Magazine, which is known for documenting its sources. If it were not for shows like this and the reading that they have suggested to me, I believe that I too would be in the dark.

  1265. Yet understandable. This shifts the blame from the kid taking that first marshmallow. I don't think that this is the way to promote desirable qualities.

I should have called it something different.

Its a fake effort in case anyone asks us if we are doing anything to help and instead of ruining their ecomonies and making the problems work. I bet they mention it at the UN and nobody blinks, because we are the 800-pound gorilla.

  1328. In my experience, it isn't just infrastructure that is sometimes planned in a financially fuzzy way. Sometimes it is engineering contracts, or for any government function, I would imagine after working for some governments as an anecdotal example.

  1331. Judd Hurst, I wonder if my knowledge of these things is about average? I have never heard of corium. I am not implying that you are, but for all I know, you could be making that up. On these matters, most of us are fat and stupid. Are you suggesting that we give up? If the situation were genuinely hopeless, that would make sense. I have been talking to different people I know about global warming over the past few days to find out what they think. It does seem credible that 85% of Albertans support the pipeline, which is not surprising, considering that the" Keep Canada Working" campaign by the Provincial government runs several ads each evening during the news. Global warming is not a topic I have seen discussed. Tonight there was some discussion about a new technology, which made me feel hopeful until I realized it was only to make the oil more fluid so we can pipe it out faster. I am glad for shows like this.

  1332. Peter M. Eggers, I don't think that is it. The voice of the American public is silenced in the political process by campaign contributions. There are supposed to be checks and balances. The US government is in many respects operating on legislation that was put in place to circumvent Constitutional law. How would one bring corium (for example) to the public's attention when we aren't seeing it on the news? You could march straight down to Congress. Would it have a result? Lately, I have been reading Ralph Nader, and his attempts to get politicians to listen and respond are comical in a tragic way.

  1338.  @IliyaOsnovikov  Illegal aliens have a fear of government and tend to avoid census takers even without questions on immigration. That is why we do statistical sampling instead. It is more reliable.

  1339.  @IliyaOsnovikov  My work was in Phoenix, where there are many illegal aliens. We had it to a point where many of them were establishing new communities. Joe Arpaio played a role in chasing that off and decimating those communities, using ethnic profiling enabled by the Arizona Legislature. There are probably fewer illegal aliens in Phoenix now. These people had benefited our local economy in some ways that exploited them. They didn't complain about slum landlords and could be worked like slaves for less than subsistence wages. They rarely complain about poor labour standards. Many lived in overcrowded, inhumane conditions. We studied the more stable Hispanic communities and found that they were calm, with many families having lived in the same homes for generations. In that case, they seemed to be held hostage to a small but particularly savage criminal element. It was especially hard on the illegals who were attracted to those areas by the cultural similarities to their own. For them, complaining to the police is not an option. I met Hispanic people in my own neighbourhood who had built lives for themselves by working hard. Both in my community and in the institutions of higher learning, they are proportionately underrepresented. They do make up most of the landscaping crews, where one could argue, they are chronically underpaid. Cities function like organisms, It is impossible to fool the function of a city because all of the parts, all of the people are interconnected. It doesn't matter how far we put the affluent suburbs from the ghettoes. We lose our souls in that process. Excuse what is commonly known as the "urban planner rant." You should see a group of us in a room. :)

  1345. I thought at first that it was about some archaic law that was not enforced, and was delighted to see what it is about. These things are easily researchable online from U.S. Department of Justice statistics. I always had a sense that things were not equal, but have learned the extent of this only in the last few years. It is also true that men typically receive longer sentences for identical crimes committed by women. The first example took on a hideous "Soylent Green" quality with the advent of privately run for-profit prisons. I wonder what is behind the second?

  1359. I saw the same kind of thing in Arizona. In my work as an urban planner, I did consulting for three different tribes. Each of them placed a higher value on the land than on the vast amounts of money they could have made if they had chosen to allow more development. The connection to their ancestors gave them a strong sense of community. They gained my respect for this. It was the opposite of most of what I encountered in my career.

  1362. We need a democracy in America movement. It became evident that we had been taken hostage by pirates when the decision was made not to prosecute acts of deliberate bank fraud that created the housing crisis.

An example may be aid contracts for disaster in Haiti being given priority if the contractor was a "friend of Bill Clinton." Were these government contracts, that have specific and public criteria for how they are awarded? (In the private sector this kind of quid pro quo is more common.) If true, is litigation an option? I would say prosecution...we already saw an example of how that went. What have we become?

  1379. Pathologically insane is a good way to put it, reflections observer. People continually choose to ignore unpleasant realities. They live on the fault line, in the hurricane belt, houses slide off cliffs, and buildings flood because it is inconvenient to think about these things if there is some competing goal. I see it more as a lack of public education and political will. There are many examples of exceptional planning that involves all kinds of stakeholders, and then the political decision goes a different way because it was all wired behind the scenes from the outset. This doesn't usually get a headline. It can discourage people from thinking that they can change public policy. I have also seen brilliant innovation from surprise activists cause change nobody expected. It is exciting to see something like that pickup allies and take off, as this is not the usual scenario. Pulling off such a thing takes a lot of planning to work. This has always been my favourite kind of planning.

  1391. To say that traits, based on correlational and other procedures are highly predictive is powerful. I had never thought of just using technology and large data sets to find things and correlate them as something with the power to open doors we have never thought about before today. It will generate the research questions in the forms of answers we figure out how to find. Wow. Don't laugh if this has been apparent to you all along. Or if I am actually making it up as being so fantastic. Will sleep on it.
    2
  1392. You are in a muckraking mood. In your world, the private sector is a model of ethos and effectiveness? To me, the private sector is more of a model for getting things done, but there is an amorality encouraged by the profit motive. On the other hand, some percentage of people who go into government do it for the reasons I did...the potential for positive change through collective action. Oddly, this is often not a prescription for advancement in the public sector. Both are staffed by humans, naturally inclined to seek comfort. Both are impeded by corruption and the fact that large numbers of people show up each day to fart, shuffle papers and put in the time required to receive a paycheck. I think that if President Trump had his team looking at the costs of healthcare and the results...especially why do Americans pay more for less treatment, there could be some positive results. What we have now fails as a business model unless one accepts that the primary goal is huge profits for a few people. The primary goal should be better public health. For every person. This requires some kind of collective action. There are models of effective public health care in other countries. These are private, public, and combinations in between. To me, it seems that the key is to not turn over the system to a band of pirates.
    2
  1393. I agree that there are statistics that point to the ineffectiveness if the US system. This could be an austerity budget. We don't understand this term as widely in the US, but I do think that the average person may have some sense that the gradually declining quality of life is at least in part a result of kleptocracy.

I wonder if you have had some particularly bad experiences that give you a bias to not notice this as much. It seems true that many colleges have been taken over by idiots who think that our behaviour should be legislated as much as possible. They remind me of the thought police. I like the idea of being aware of both, because I don't believe that one sex is morally superior to another. We need both sexes.

It sounds simplistic, but slowing down the process at the beginning can sometimes have a big payoff later (in policy development). If the one facilitating listens carefully. she will begin to have ideas of what to expect from whom. Opportunities can emerge.

  1415. Thank you. As an urban planner, I love this. Canadian geographer William Bunge took US cities, mapped life expectancies and compared them to those of countries. I was surprised to learn that the same cities will include that of Switzerland (for example) and that or Botswana. Often only a few miles apart. In the extremes, differences can be far more than 14 years. This work was so lucrative that he was also a cab driver.

I give this my best shot by visiting the ranch where the animals are raised once a year, and I know the ranchers. Many people find this ridiculous or unaffordable. For some reason, it is a priority.

  1431. I thought the same. This is clearly an environmental disaster of some kind, but showing us pictures of children he drifts into polemic. I would like to see the environmental impacts quantified. Has the water and soil been tested on site and at different distances from the projects? How vast is the boreal forest and would the entire ecosystem be damaged?

  1434. To me, morality is doing what I perceive as the right thing. My ideas about this were formed by things I have experienced. Although we were not religious, my parent's thinking was consistent with the Judeo-Christian tradition. Because they were humans, also the Pagan tradition. Add in whatever random things life exposed me to and my intrinsic personality. This is a lot fuzzier than something like the law. I would have no qualms about killing Hitler if I had the chance. Squeaky Fromme had no qualms about shooting Ronald Reagan. How are we different? These examples of morality do not seem related to the social contract. They are more personal. My version of the social contract, which I may be taking liberties with...I restrain my impulses toward things that would be pleasant for me and unpleasant for other people in exchange for the belief that this will keep people from doing similar unpleasant things to me. That is somewhat like the golden rule in Christianity, but the idea that it is a contract implies that it could be broken. Because it is a contract, there are even times when it should be broken. It seems like this thinking is behind many laws, even behind the idea of police protection. (I am not saying that this is not a component to this in Christianity, which espouses an "eye for an eye.")
    2
  1435. Just look at who we hang out with. I'm Canadian too and oppose CETA. Why contractually obligate governments to represent existing and future corporations that may or may not represent our own views? This seems dangerous.

  1436.  @JDMaya  Because they are nutty is the answer?
    2
  1437. Twits.
    2
  1438. How is everyone proceeding as if this was a valid election? As if this collusion had not occurred? How does this not change everything?
    2
  1439. Thanks for reporting this idiocy.
    2
  1440.  @ExploreLearnEnglishWithGeorge  ?
    2
  1441. Why? Why? Why do I do it?
    2
  1442. It does give them a competitive edge with the other florists.
    2
  1443. You are right. I keep coming back because I find their research skills impressive.
    2
  1444. Thank you for this. I have never understood Nietzsche in this way. He was brilliant.
    2
  1445. I wonder what the fallout has been on the subjects of these revelations? The link between Stratfor, business interests and a criminal justice agency? The war crimes and violations of international law? How have these players and their activities been addressed?
    2
  1446. ...or at the moment, America.
    2
  1447. Police forces need to have strong codes of ethical conduct and any officer who breaks them should be fired. This thing with the 14-year-old boys on the ground (one saying "what did we do" is hideous.
    2
  1448. There are other categories of white people that should be included. There are a lot of white meth heads walking around. Also, don't laugh, but I have been treated badly by the police and I was a suburban white person. They did not pull a gun on me, but they threatened to shoot my dog just because they could. (When it was shut in my yard.) My son has stories about some of his friends being treated brutally just for having weed. There is a prisoner guard mindset that can be nasty. Last week, I was detained by US immigration because I forgot to carry my green card into the States. Right off the bat, they yelled at me. I could not restrain myself from saying that they had been needlessly rude, and they seemed to get a charge out of taking an extra long time to let me through. The Stanford Prisoner study demonstrated this phenomenon.
    2
  1449. When I saw those few cases that BLM got on the news, I thought they were really exposing something. Tip of the iceberg.
    2
  1450. This makes sense.
    2
  1451. Right. Except that they are probably about to pull a Pavlov. That is the trump strategy. That is why it is the trump strategy.
    2
  1452.  @manuelwitrago6511  Great point, yet some people dislike all Muslims without knowing a thing about their views as individuals. There is such a thing as Islamophobia. I say this as a woman whose grandparents were Russian Orthodox, another culture that has historically repressed women. Every family is different, depending on the views of the people. There are shades of gray.
    2
  1453. :) I was just about to ask you "What is an elbow ration?"
    2
  1454. I have seen a similar thing with the capital facilities that are linear in Maricopa County. It makes no sense to have a street that belongs to multiple jurisdictions.
    2
  1455. This makes me think that threads of both story lines may have been erased by time from my memory. I remember liking "Brazil" and that it had some plastic surgery humor. I may watch it again.
    2
  1456. I remember finding it entertaining.
    2
  1457. Fan club? Sounds like he has a cold here.
    2
  1458. Thank you for this. I read this book at least 100 times out loud some 20 years ago. This brings back some memories. I wonder if Sendac was thinking of Jung?
    2
  1459. You are more a scientist and I am more a dramatist, but we are both right. One definition of "allergic" is "having an aversion to." We both agree that if bitten by fire ants, one is screwed. :)
    2
  1460. OK then. I won't help.
    2
  1461. When I was a child, most of my games involved killing imaginary Nazis.
    2
  1462. Even with medical insurance, there are many cases of families having devastating fincncial consequences.
    2
  1463. If we look at the "before" and "after" of the countries where the US has intervened for "humanitarian reasons" it has little to do with human rights, Evolutionism Is Anti-Science Lie.
    2
  1464. If Camus said it first this is not a misattribution.
    2
  1465. What we know now looks like a criminal activity that cannot be substantiated. On ethical grounds alone, the evidence of corruption should result in dismissal from being considered for public office. Let's hope that increased media attention will result in the public reaction that these disclosures deserve. Thank you for reporting this.
    2
  1466. This seems correct. I thought about sex pretty much all of the time when I was 16.
    2
  1467. Maybe something like this could happen in the US. There are some of the same political sentiments that may be expanding. Interesting that they consulted with someone who worked on the Sanders campaign.
    2
  1468. I think that you have to wait until it happens to say "I told you so."
    2
  1469. Existing companies may not relocate elsewhere if employees have first right of refusal and the government would lend them the money to buy. That could stimulate a different kind of enterprise. It does not seem wise to fawn over the feckless.
    2
  1470. I think that the banks were gambling that these people would default. It paid off. They were allowed to keep the profits.
    2
  1471. I have found that this supports cultural exchange.
    2
  1472. I don't understand nihilism. I simply need meaning. To each hos own, though.
    2
  1473. I wonder if he views meditation as an algorithm, valar?
    2
  1474. Horrible news. I hope we don't.
    2
  1475. Perhaps she is waiting until something actually happens. If it was my show, I might have said it was coming.
    2
  1476. You do not have the correct personality for happy relationships with women. Too bad you're not gay. Maybe you should be.
    2
  1477. You will miss them. I wouldn't make this point to the women in question. You know how they are...they will probably be bitchy towards you for all eternity.
    2
  1478. I wish that network news did the same.
    2
  1479. If this were verified, I might believe it. Until it is, my opinion that this is a hoax will not change.
    2
  1480. I will listen to this, which came out during my apathetic phase. There is no question that each band member is really talented.
    2
  1481. This is what it would take to change things, so he is the only one here who points to a solution.
    2
  1482. Thank you. I will have a look.
    2
  1483. cbd? Will do, as I have made some fuzzy-headed mistakes lately.
    2
  1484. He was awful. Julian Assange handled this well, though. I would have felt like punching him.
    2
  1485. In the metaphor of a man who finds his mistress wildly exciting until he leaves his wife...The man is still in a different place. Perhaps that is where he should be and he could not understand this on a conscious level. Or maybe it was all a terrible mistake. I am completely making this up but "Why be rational when you could be interesting" also works. This is just how we are.
    2
  1486. Maybe I will try writing after my yoga class to see if it works for me too, How High Can You Fly.
    2
  1487.  @quranandhadith7475  She is excellent here because you barely notice her, and she draws out the truth of what she wanted. I like that interviewing style. It's the story of what happened to Mr. Aamer that the world needs to see so that it will stop happening to others.
    2
  1488. You may see things as simpler than they are.
    2
  1489. I thought that about the title too, Anssi Korhonen. I doubt that they felt liberated at this moment.
    2
  1490. We won't have the subprime mortgage catastrophe, at least. That was criminal, and many people should have been prosecuted yet were not. The Canadian housing bubble seems more typical. If one can afford to hang on for a decade, values will likely creep back up after it bursts. This is what happened after previous bubbles. The hardest hit may be those planning to sell their homes in the short-term to finance retirement.
    2
  1491. Astute comment, bonitaroache73. I hope that the groundswell of resistance is harnessed into an important political influence that endures beyond this moment. It seems like it will.
    2
  1492. I had not realised that he was this articulate. Wow.
    2
  1493. So sad about Aleppo. Too late for Damascus, once beautiful.
    2
  1494.  @robsmythe3308  Do you mean "fighters for the truth?"
    2
  1495. Thank you for reporting this. What the hell is wrong with these people? Again, accusations with no facts.
    2
  1496. So, have they been counted yet?
    2
  1497. It doesn't help if you cry, IndustrialBonecraft.
    2
  1498. I have to believe that most people would not want this if they understood. Hp to make that happen? Thank you for reporting this.
    2
  1499. I am glad to not worry about them functioning optimally, 1.618033. If we can see them only in this way (which is stunning) I have a feeling they are getting along fine without our attention.
    2
  1500. I did not mean to imply that I view life as a joke. I am not sure what you are saying. I like the sounds of it nonetheless. I am all for self-knowledge and change.
    2
  1501. They do. Also, joy wouldn't exist without the sadness. I like your attitude. (I wish I could do it 100%. I am pretty sure that I have suffered and that this could have been my state of mind.)
    2
  1502. It probably is not. I am not wild about pondering it, though.
    2
  1503. I feel that the universe may be telling me to get a job.
    2
  1504. How does become trapped in the Southern Hemisphere?
    2
  1505. Poetic interpretation.
    2
  1506. True as that may be, it keeps us from turning into "Animal Farm", somewhat.
    2
  1507. There have been some questionable Supreme Court decisions, at times. I agree that judges should not lean.
    2
  1508.  @henrygarciga  Mr. Tul is correct. The cold war is so entrenched in American politics that I had to swear that I had not become a communist since the interview in my naturalization ceremony to become an American. Really? What were the odds. Have they ever approached you? Would that have something to do with Russia?
    2
  1509. It is disturbing that the Ecuadorian Embassy admits to cutting of Julian Assange's internet access. It seems unlikely that this would keep Wikileaks from publishing further information that could be relevant to the US election. Journalists should be free to publish any information that they see fit. Also, I will curtail my use of the phrase "circus of assclowns" in reference to the 2016 election. It had not occurred to me that this could be taken as offensive to clowns.
    2
  1510. Good example of crime prevention through environmental design. Beautiful. Make the City their City.
    2
  1511. I like this. There are at least four psychopaths in my family of origin. Funny. It does seem dim to have pathologies instead of people. Nonetheless, they do (or did) fit the pathology.
    2
  1512.  @kurtknispel9170  We shall see?
    2
  1513. I can't recall them being this blatant, RD Patterson. Does it mean they are feeling defensive? Are we that far gone that this passes for normalcy?
    2
  1514. He might stop these wars.
    2
  1515. I am not as worried that this indoctrination will happen to scientists or engineers, Me First. Don't they teach objectivity in journalism schools? I always had the impression that it was one of the main features.
    2
  1516.  @KevinDoyle-r1w  That sounds character-building.
    2
  1517. Yet again. Yikes.
    2
  1518. What an inspiring crew. Unfortunately, the virus has brought to light that some conditions in some care homes in Quebec were awful. People died in horrible conditions. Maybe the silver lining is that they will be fixed and the lives of people who live in them improved.
    2
  1519. He is brilliant, pschreiber71.
    2
  1520. There would surely be a backlash among those who are annoyed about their behaviour in the 2016 election, I hope? Bingo for Bernie, I hope. They deserve to be cast out once and for all, alexandra itzhaki. If not, I agree that Trump will win.
    2
  1521.  @johnnyrvf  It would be funny if it didn't have results on our politics. Democracy at work.
    2
  1522. You must be a newbie, Andrew B. So did Dr. Campbell.
    2
  1523. Alarming.
    2
  1524. Once, the women had been expressing a desire to be helped up the ladder, so Joy started a monthly "women's lunch." I think we met about three times. Chris hood asked, are any of us ever going to be promoted? As I recall, Joy said nothing. I never heard of the "women's lunch again.
    2
  1525.  @BlondeManNoName  It doesn't even seem like a sin. I just never want to date a man who treats me that way, TheManWithNoName. As I have said many times, you do seem to deserve her. Good for you.
    2
  1526.  notimportant  It had a hook with the public. When I speak of these wars to some of my friends, they say, "Do you know how they treat women over there?" As if this will change that after all this time.
    2
  1527. I don't know your context? The Muslims I know here in Edmonton do not need this kind of talking to from Jordan Peterson, as they seem to have developed a lovely Mosque community that looks out for it's people with a vibrant social network.
    2
  1528.  @hersirnordic2814  That's harsh. Jamie Rosario could write a letter to Congress? Urging them to start WWIII. What are you going to do?
    2
  1529.  @hersirnordic2814  I am frustrated that all I seem to have are my comments, as I have found writing my representatives and not getting a response my only other means. Do you ever feel that way? What else can we do?
    2
  1530.  @paulg444 , I would not call FOX unbiased. It may be different? I would love to see Sharyl Attkisson analyze FOX so we could compare from an informed perspective. Maybe she does. I may need to revise my comment by the time I get to the end. I like that she included Wikipedia, in which I have found several errors that look deliberate.
    2
  1531. Corn Pop might be there, Diecast 1/64 and More.
    2
  1532. Aron Mate told us this. I believed him. Now way more people will. The FBI shoud adopt a code of ethics under public scrutiny, then be closely observed.
    2
  1533.  @suzimonkey345  You raise some excellent points. The government should not be involved in these matters. It makes me wonder if there is a relation between the banning of the Burka in France and Bill 21 that was recently passed in Quebec. Is it something about French culture, or is this happening in other places? Since last March, new hires in public positions "of coercive authority" are banned from wearing religious symbols. Also, faces must remain uncovered to receive some public services. I wonder how this will impact the display of Catholic icons that permeate Quebec? It will preclude (for example) many Muslims from obtaining jobs in public service. I wonder if someone wearing the Burka will be given tax exemptions for the public services that they do not receive, or how that will work? There is a rise in fascism in many places throughout the world. I think of people who have lost their rights of citizenship for being Muslims in India or current examples of ethnic cleansing as in Palestine or Mynamar. In the west, we have Donald Trump, who has made statements about Mexicans and people from "shithole countries," which seems code for "countries with dark-skinned people." On a personal level, most of the people I know seem tolerant and compassionate. Anecdotal?
    2
  1534.  @norskawarrior1919  How do I know the truth of your assessment of Islam? I know a few Muslims who have emigrated to Canada or the States, and they are lovely people. The men do not seem to abuse women. I don't care what people wear if it is their choice. I think you may be a bigot.
    2
  1535. Except, during that war, the masses saw the war in all its gore on the nightly news, BluesImprov. I'd like to see a survey of what we have done that might surprise the average US citizen because they only know a little.
    2
  1536. Such impressive geopolitical knowledge and analytical skills he has, MrSticklife.
    2
  1537.  @mckennayoutube8211  Not the people who live and work there.
    2
  1538.  @criticalthought7527  That's like saying you had a dream you were mad at someone and being angry over it.
    2
  1539.  @5818fa1  You may have that backwards.
    2
  1540.  @douglassanders8040  Everything I know is wrong.
    2
  1541. So she is a Chinese asset, Liberum Oratio? That's about as plausible as Russiagate.
    2
  1542. I am precisely as confused as I was before watching. It is a good question, though, Finn Jacobsen. I was hoping to find the answer.
    2
  1543.  @johnnysparks44  Gift giving and reciprocity is a human universal. Now that I think of it, so is genocide and exchange. Who could argue with either?
    2
  1544.  @johnnysparks44  There is a segment of us who agree that the life we understand hints at things beyond our understanding and is all we could ever hope for. Theory geeks may have fun at what they do. Good for them. I hope they have parties about it.
    2
  1545.  @johnnysparks44  That could mean so many things.
    2
  1546. ​ @johnnysparks44 Are you mocking my fear of math? It's a long story how I got this way.
    2
  1547.  @johnnysparks44  Thanks for all the crime-fighting.
    2
  1548.  @johnnysparks44  Thank you. I don't know if there is a cure, so I am glad you and conceivably others feel that way.
    2
  1549.  @patherron3247  Hahaha.
    2
  1550.  @douginorlando6260  It's people, I tell you.

  1551. I'm never eating beef again, milkamilla.

  1552.  @Dylan-pt1iv  Growing up in the texas of Canada, I used to think that. I didn't see this other side.
    2
  1553.  Playfulpanthress  Thanks. I failed to consider that impeachment would likely take a while.
    2
  1554.  Playfulpanthress  Then paraded through the streets of major American cities in a cage.
    2
  1555. There were pro-pipeline protesters at the Alberta Legislature recently. They may have been authentic.
    2
  1556.  @earthman6700  As an earth man, you don't mean the natural environment or what's left? I am Canadian and American, and I concur.
    2
  1557. It is likely no coincidence that our news networks receive Federal funding, SASBETA.
    2
  1558. Thanks, SASBETA. I will check it out.
    2
  1559. I have not even heard about this until now, SASBETA SQUADRON. I lived in Jasper for several years when I was young, and it was beautiful. I wonder if the CP derailment did any damage to the ecosystem? If so, we need to know about it.
    2
  1560.  @roryross3878  We are using every pretext to start a war with Iran and should be watched closely.
    2
  1561. We have such little control over many things that happen. That is liberating to realize, Victor Trandafir.
    2
  1562.  @desireebyerly6661  I wish I could know the facts on everything.
    2
  1563. This thinking might not be universal. Many Albertans see oil as our cash cow. On the other hand, we have had pro-pipeline protests in front of the Alberta Legislature, but I wonder who funded their uniform professionally-made signs, gold steven?
    2
  1564.  @Salty_Legionnaire  Not a real person?
    2
  1565. It's probably inconsequential compared to the likely scale of bodies in the Arizona desert. I have often wished I had a way of knowing, @andrewdow1609.
    2
  1566. Self-help bot?
    2
  1567.  @scottluthy5828  He was a pretty good Governor of Minnesota. I trust him more than Biden or Trump.
    2
  1568. And quickly, Jason Kelly.
    2
  1569. That seems like shoddy reporting, wakaisgood.
    2
  1570. Can you define "it", dan c. I don't doubt what you are saying.
    2
  1571.  @jarjarbinks4744  That's ridiculous. We have many smart, ethical people. They seem to be asleep.
    2
  1572.  @Ghostshadows306  You should listen more closely
    2
  1573.  @craffte  We wouldn't do these things if we did not feel imprevious.
    2
  1574. I'm just pretending to know what you said. I have some reading to do, @RecoveringTheorist. Except we should listen to the universe.
    2
  1575.  @Summernightsandneonlights  Guliani said that he will be releasing this information and told us how to find it. Maybe wait and see?

  1577.    You should read "The Management of Savagery,: and you might see things differently. There are ample footnotes.
    2
  1578.    Max Blumenthal.
    2
  1579.  @ewalker1057  Agreed. It seems a waste of time and energy to be pointing fingers when we need to examine every component of how we got into this mess; It might lead to the best way for us to get out.
    2
  1580. If people were informed, it seems likely that we would put our heads together, study existing conditions like a team of scientists and take back the government so that the people have more standing than corporations. For the people, by the people.
    2
  1581. The Geneva Convention does not regulate drone footage. Af anyone were paying attention Deandre Dunbar. I wonder if that's one reason it's used?
    2
  1582.  @SG-ct2tb  I have the impression that it's so engrained in their financial agencies and processes that it is still true today. I had thought for a long time that the vestiges of colonialism would surely be "thrown off" with the "end" of colonialism.
    2
  1583. It's starting to look like we're all screwed, Al Demir.

  1584.  @aldemir6127  Let's get drunk.
    2
  1585. Contrived as hell, Al Demir.

  1586. The aftermath of the savings and loan crisis went somewhat like that, Marvin Gershowitz. It makes sense, but Detroit also lost its economic base, so there are also unique causative factors.
    2
  1587. MOnetizing the highway system would be regressive, Randy Stanley.
    2
  1588.  @faner5302  The best thinkers I have met are self-educated if they went to college or not.
    2
  1589. Thank you for this, which I am groping to understand. I have friends who are Muslims, and many seem to be lumping them all into the same category as these extremist factions. We would not do that if we had a clearer picture of the distinctions. One of my friends wears a burka and lived in Saudi Arabia for twenty years. I plan to ask her the right questions to learn something but have a lot to learn first. We are friends because we talk about things like what it was like to hold our children for the first time. Wahhabism sounds dangerous. Muslims who have functions and choose not to have LGBTQ booths that are offensive to their religion may be legitimate. I wonder if there are a few things that are better in their culture?

  1593.  @youtubesucks1499  Wrong. These stores typically draw their markets from the adjacent 5 miles of development, depending on urban form and density. They often move only across the street, as it's the most central to the market.

  1594.  @PlasmaBurns  Talk often precedes action.
    2
  1595.  @PlasmaBurns  What are you doing, for example?

  1598. One of my parent's best friends lost his ability to walk and almost his life in the early fifties. Understandably, they embraced the concept of this vaccine, Jet Petty. We have to stay on top of science even all these years later.

  1599. This brings a whole new meaning to "The personal is the political." That George Orwell sounds like quite a character. I love this because Max Blumenthal is so correct.
    2
  1600. I enjoy how Dr. Mearsheimer appears to enjoy springing his brilliant intellect. He's a joy to watch. "Zero evidence" reminds me of him naming his theory of "offensive realism." Excellent.

  1609.  @1977dolla  I believe they ended up there as a part of their work and met the girls by accident. Both parents practice family law in Phoenix.
    2
  1610. I hope Biden hears this.
    2
  1611. "Republican operative." Good one, Aaron Mate.
    2
  1612.  @whynottalklikeapirat  Talking like pirates, for example.
    2
  1613.  @ProleCenter  We don't have to agree with every thought he has ever had to find his work amazing.
    2
  1614. It's excellent, nay nay. So is "Reporter."
    2
  1615.  @thekiddo115  Same.
    2
  1616. I saw a Russian spokesman proactively making a statement that they have abandoned their use of chemical weapons on YouTube last week. Why would they use them, jumbo shrimp? Aaron Mate is an excellent guest on this after his interviews with Scott Ritter on chemical weapons as a false flag. We should look closely at what happens next.
    2
  1617.  @greekre  Maybe "Corn Pop" was following him.
    2
  1618. It doesn't have to be strictly one thing or the other chan tzu kit. Sometimes one can follow interests without knowing the result, and this will open doors to new potentials that would not have been seen otherwise.
    2
  1619. I hope that this one does not think we should obey the government even if we don't like what they say because it was appointed by God.
    2
  1620. I think that you are correct, Winston Posegate. France's system is a combination of public and private and some consider it the world's best. In the States, medicine is like the banking system. Basically, taken over by pirates with the cooperation of our corrupt lawmakers.
    2
  1621.  @likklej8  Respect to you.
    2
  1622.  @pshay1214  Free speech is more significant.
    2
  1623. Asking questions that vaguely imply that there may have been improprieties is not evidence of them. When it is a case of "case not closed," it may be better to start without an opinion one way or another and rely only on facts.
    2
  1624. There is compelling evidence that Syria was not the one to use chemical weapons. I am mystified as to why Syria would bomb her own civilians and would like to hear more about the details of this assertion. I suspect that there is more to it. We too have committed atrocities in Syria, in regards to the fighters we cultivated as allies to use and abandon.
    2
  1625.  @skyzhar4100  So opposite.
    2
  1626.  @robdixson196  Also, movie listings, classified ads and the "sunshine girl."
    2
  1627.  kev googlestein  Nobody accused us of being strategic.
    2
  1628.  @tedsu7523  Those bastards. We have to stop them.
    2
  1629. We played a role in the instability of many of the countries from which people have been forced to flee for their lives.
    2
  1630. That would be good in the case of war. It seems as if too much happens, @stylaaaniki.
    2
  1631.  @danecrawford2658  Some wouldn't think of that.
    2
  1632. For calls to regional customer service, I have spoken to many people in India over the years. But, recently, I was surprised to get a young woman speaking English with an African accent and wondered if it resulted from the BRI plan for Africa. It will bring many people to the internet for the first time. So, please think of the opportunities it will provide the African people compared to the colonialism they have endured. The Chinese will inevitably protect their infrastructure investments from us. When I think of the most likely saboteurs of Nordstream 2, they are correct in defensive thinking. The BRI includes 43 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, 35 in Europe and Central Asia, 25 in East India and the Pacific, 20 in Latin America and the Caribbean, 18 in there MIddle East and North Africa and 6 in Southeast Asia. It seems delusional to imagine that the world won't be dotted with Chinese military bases. We don't know the results yet, but it could prevent many conflicts we see today.
    2
  1633. They did come out with recommendations for isolation standards more stringent than what some countries adopted, so they must have saved some lives, BeatingTracksOutOfBabylon.
    2
  1634. Thank you for presenting this. The video and comments section illustrate the conflict.
    2
  1635.  @Abdirahman_Mohamed  I thought it was an abbreviation for "mainstream media," which deserves so much criticism that I am sick of typing it out. I guess I should if I want people to understand what I am saying.
    2
  1636.  @Abdirahman_Mohamed  I did the same and found a health supplement. :)
    2
  1637.  JustMemes  That seems terrible, but nothing compared to the fact that she was Secretary of State and her husband was accepting hefty fees for speaking, and there may be a link to being granted access to her power. I know what I would have looked for in those emails if they had not been destroyed without penalty.
    2
  1638. He stood at the entrance of a school defending segregation in defiance of the Federal government, Luke Roman.
    2
  1639. I am used to that term, but you are right, pablopolski. What precisely does it mean?
    2
  1640. You are not alone, Jeanne Brauher Trible. People are staying away in droves.
    2
  1641.  @ytjepool  I was hoping someone would chime in with how they have done this. I have no clue how. I guess I could learn. When I was young, I used to find the news on tv credible and believe it. We had horrific images of Vietnam unfolding that were not consistent with what we were being told.
    2
  1642. @Buttguage Illegals can't vote.
    2
  1643. Jake Dinger, You seem cynical.
    2
  1644.  @gmmonko  I didn't realize. If the ICC had some teeth, it would not matter.
    2
  1645. They might accidentally get it right? The golden age of American furniture design was 1947-1957. It was low cost design, and it was brilliant. I have noticed that in some products at Target. I am certain there is money to be made in low cost excellent design.
    2
  1646. Maybe, Arizona Animal. In the words of Tammy Fay Baker, though, "God wouldn't want us to have junk."
    2
  1647. Thank you. Quite, anti-cointelbro_.
    2
  1648. Excellent show. The question that weaves in the actions of Democrats in Congress that helped this happen is on target. One news outlet that I used to think of as independent today made them sound like a crew of anti-war activists. We will never understand these things unless we correctly identify the causes. There is a lot of posturing at the moment because there is no political cost.
    2
  1649. @BoulderPM Nobody needs a billion dollars, especially when they remove the money from the economy altogether.
    2
  1650. @BoulderPM I was being rhetorical. The ones who have corrupted our political system and economy have more money than they or their families would ever need even if they chose to live like kings. I say we should ask a team of economists chaired by Dr. Wolff what we should do about it.
    2
  1651. @BoulderPM You misunderstand me. I was speaking rhetorically, but also as a policy analyst. Now you are being rhetorical. What do you think? Is it?
    2
  1652. @BoulderPM You must be a great tap dancer. Let's see it. This would take some essay thinking on my part. I will start thinking about it now.
    2
  1653.  @WEARE--HAIKU  Ethically, no. Legally, maybe. We are watching what they do, though.
    2
  1654. I doubt that is why they are refugees, Michael Anderson.
    2
  1655. Subpoenaed material smashed with a hammer and then nothing happens?
    2
  1656.  @evni6208  That might be a good idea. When I tell people I have a degree in cultural geography, they seem to regard it with confusion and suspicion that it is not a real field of study. I like it the best, though.
    2
  1657.  @isunlloaoll  That's not how it works. Cities do not spring up in random locations, but with resources and trade routes.
    2
  1658. In the US, the Grand Princess will soon disembark even though only a small percentage of the passengers have been tested.
    2
  1659. Hear. Hear. I'll believe it when I see it, Stephen Nee.
    2
  1660.  @ResearcherofArabPagans  They don't all wear Birkenstocks.
    2
  1661. An excellent question on The Belt and Road Initiative.
    2
  1662.  @johnnysparks44  Do you throw rocks at the guy who comes around to pick up your trash?
    2
  1663. If that is code for "you are good, and your partner is bad," it may not work. I was in a marriage where that was a thing.
    2
  1664.  @jiacov  Carlinian.
    2
  1665. I hope it's something like that, Margaret Greenwood. They don't have a legitimate case.
    2
  1666.  @SteveninTune , History isn't the morality play some people make of it. Any random group of a hundred people will include many kinds.
    2
  1667.  @hannahabdi8236  Gets money from America and then buys much of its Congress.
    2
  1668.  @tonyrmathis Your views are not in response to anything that I think. I wasn't talking about taxation or expanding inefficient government, but of control of the US government by powerful corporate criminal interests at the expense of people at home and abroad. The deregulation that allowed the 2008 mortgage crisis or our endless wars of intervention are two examples.
    2
  1669. They snuck out of some of the bases in the middle of the night and are now saying, "We've got your back. Let us know if you need anything. Maybe we'll send a drone." Why do they bother?
    2
  1670. I have changed.
    2
  1671. As he has said, "Man is a wolf to man."
    2
  1672.  @hotstixx  I tend to recall things I recently saw. It is his dust jacket comment for "Disaster Capitalism."
    2
  1673.  @Lee-yd3og  Care to elaborate?
    2
  1674.  @jan-paulkleijn5131  At least a few of them must be regular people. Definitely the children.
    2
  1675.  @jan-paulkleijn5131  I know that is also a factor. I believe that US wars of intervention also play a role in the instability and there is no accountability on that either. There is probably no one answer. All of these things and possibly others need to be addressed to bring stability and peace in any sustainable way.
    2
  1676.  @onebeardman3407  You have that right. I can't do anything, though.
    2
  1677. Thanks, Grayzone. Excellent to see you have so many subscribers. This interview should be on the internet and seen by a lot of people, I hope. Alarming news stories.
    2
  1678.  @Kritdblue2  Well, "Happy as country burns?" They probably are rubbing their hands together and going "muahahaha." I would not be surprised.
    2
  1679. Forthwith, Black Ceasar.
    2
  1680. Excelent idea getting a climate change expert to comment on Huston. I was wondering abut this.
    2
  1681. I read this book and then sent a copy to each of my sons. Excellent analysis and advice. Next "Maps of Meaning."
    2
  1682. Summer Camp BUs - Sharon OLds?
    2
  1683. I heard her say once that she often feels that her life is in danger for political reasons as well, but she chooses to speak and not hide away from it, Hunt Slither.
    2
  1684.  Bas Smith  In many places they already are.
    2
  1685. I had a moderately wasted youth. I made the best of it by working harder than my colleagues in my 30's. I can't say that I regret one of the few times of my life where I felt like a bohemian. It is harder to do that once compelling goals kick in.
    2
  1686. @ Except chance at what? Being a kidnap victim?
    2
  1687. It could be a jealousy rant, but on the other hand, shouldn't people look within to form their ideas about sexuality, gender, and disrupting the system?
    2
  1688. Timely. I heard that South Korea recently accepted Iranian oil and then refused to pay for it, which is theft and not a sanction. Perhaps they feel they can get away with it because of their relation to the US and US sanctions.
    2
  1689. This may be "the crack in everything." I hope.
    2
  1690. That is what I thought. Ask him if he did it and believe him if he says "no?"
    2
  1691. Worrisome that it was censored. I am glad I found it here. "There has been no show of a conflict." That explains it—what a politician. Facebook is a publisher. I wish journalists would pull together to develop a professional fact review board to straighten some of these more egregious things out for us. Isn't that an ethical responsibility?
    2
  1692. @Sandy Jones We see it, so that is not impossible.
    2
  1693. I wish he didn't seem like the lone voice in the wilderness on this D VDV. He has the perfect demeanour and has presented credible witnesses on these lies on "Push Back." I hope people will listen. It is excellent that Jimmy Dore is featuring this critical story.
    2
  1694. I hope that these witnesses get a public audience when they step forward.
    2
  1695.  @sandraelsmaterialoblivion7201  It's better to have zero sandwiches than not enough.
    2
  1696. He seemed to love life and embrace humanity. In that respect, he reminds me of my sister who chose suicide. I will respect and never understand.
    2
  1697.  @synthealien9093  Sycophants and bosses.
    2
  1698. @Joe Nicholson It would be hard to find a person who did not make any mistakes. I doubt one exists.
    2
  1699. He changed some mass thinking to some degree, I think  @gretagoode2965 
    2
  1700.  Beowulf Battenberg  Naive question, but are they talking? Perhaps they could reach an agreement?
    2
  1701. Occams razor? She must be a scientist?
    2
  1702.  @RichRich1955  Thanks for the recommendation. This is a tough one because people will always find food and shelter more compelling than the future.
    2
  1703. Okay. I don't actually hate myself.
    2
  1704. Why would anyone need a billion dollars, Brian Tyson?
    2
  1705.  @kerripendragon4888  It would solve a lot of problems if there were fewer people in the world. Yesterday, I enjoyed having half the people missing from my yoga class and thought briefly, "If they were people I had never known, would I care if they existed?" Some basic morality then pulled me back into realizing that I would as they are real people with families. Like my family and me.
    2
  1706. THat doesn't sound like a free market economy, Henry Wallace's Ghost.
    2
  1707. The CDC? Doing their job. What does that tell us?
    2
  1708. Last time I voted, it was paper ballots, Patricia Actis.
    2
  1709. Any country in China"s position would do this for self-defence, especially if making global infrastructure investments.
    2
  1710. They should peak to whoever stocks the shelf when they buy groceries. THey may find that locals can't afford food and have resorted to stealing. It started to rise sharply in my city about a year ago. That may make them see what is happening and about to get a lot worse?
    2
  1711. Can you imagine doing that job? It must be problematic in some ways, @hayatk2192.
    2
  1712.  @GKProBets  My grandparents were economic immigrants more than a hundred years ago in a time and place when they were needed to build the Canadian economy. (In the aggregate.) They worked hard and found a place in the "new country." There are so many people for whom there is no place now. Every side of an issue deserves representation.
    2
  1713. Hopefully, the book, petition, protests and recent flurry of independent news stories will help. I believe that if people understood this story instead of the smear campaign, they would want to support him, Joe King.
    2
  1714. I had that same thought, Simte. I have learned a lot from YouTube.
    2
  1715.  @nickpeterson6647  ...and is only making himself look like more of a weasel.
    2
  1716. @ I am like that while needing a lot of alone time.
    2
  1717. "All fun and games?" George Oneal?
    2
  1718. I had not thought of it as either engineering or science, Neville Lusimba. As engineering, I have been impressed because it was debatable if we could emulate human speech very well only decades ago. I have wondered if this will increase our understanding of language, but I may have been oversimplifying.
    2
  1719. ​ @jamesmccaul2945  I meant more that people who had been forced into desperate situations and struggled might be more inclined to take a dim view of those middle-class kids who had their needs met yet chose to be beggars. It might have been hard to understand. If I were a beggar by choice, I would feel shame, but if I struggled for survival because of circumstances and had to beg, I would be less ashamed. Why would anyone want to be in a subordinate, thus humiliating, position of being a beggar?
    2
  1720. Excellent to hear, joeconsumer.
    2
  1721. I am curious about what "futile second rate emotions" are and why Jung would have associated these with the feminine?
    2
  1722. Yikes, johnny bennett.
    2
  1723.  @grahambird2208  It fits with the pretend good and evil morality play.
    2
  1724. Are those women entitled to their choices, Anita Dubey?
    2
  1725. Leading to @cindys1819?
    2
  1726.  @0verfiend  I saw so many tricks like that in the Arizona Legislature that I think it may be typical. A late-night striker is often nothing like what the innocuous title sounds like. If this is true, it is disappointing.
    2
  1727. Go code pink, Edward Kim.
    2
  1728. No discussion on the death penalty would be complete without the extraterritorial ones included in our drone program, David Herrarte.
    2
  1729.  @kateoneal4215  Some allies.
    2
  1730.  @johnfaulkner6776 , He is good at what he does.
    2
  1731.  @JO-mu1ol  Well? Now that you have shown it to us, why not interview George Galloway to get his context.
    2
  1732. What is it that they want, Leanyse Alvarado?
    2
  1733. I am no Pelosi fan, but that is just stupid, Alan Conlan.
    2
  1734. @Just Me, His work transformed a lot of thinking on addiction. I loved "In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts."
    2
  1735. We can't know that from here, but the discussion is articulate and more credible than the "news" we see on TV, Dr. Behzad Motevallian. It seems likely that she might. Well done.
    2
  1736. He would make a great university lecturer, Red Tide.
    2
  1737. Well put, Marina A. After living in the States, everyone having access to medical care without being financially ruined can be huge, though.
    2
  1738.  @OMGAnotherday  It nullifies the idea of a social contract.
    2
  1739.  @ewalker1057  Pardon them for what?
    2
  1740. ? She is an excellent interviewer, Lin Burns.
    2
  1741.  Jesse Bogdonoff  Fools!
    2
  1742.  Proud Goy No Soy Boy  If you are right, I will be disappointed. She has been one of my favourite candidates so far. I had to look up hasbara.
    2
  1743. We are sending in forces in response to protests of our presence, Steven Nur Ahmed? We should get out of there.
    2
  1744.  @ohmyblindman It is a massive thing to "forget." Now, we justify our presence there out of a "concern" for the Iraqui people? Iraq is a sovereign nation, and we should not ignore the "theatrics" of a bill to get us out.
    2
  1745.  @ohmyblindman We are still doing it, apparently.
    2
  1746. Get the popcorn. In "Crippled America" which he had ghostwritten before the election (modeled after "Absurdity of Hope?") The main premise was "Elect me because I am a winner." As evidence was appended a statement of his vast holdings. I wonder if these things will match up?
    2
  1747. I hate Verizon.
    2
  1748. Not for him, C Mavuso.
    2
  1749.  @frepi  It's a device of art or propaganda that these men do not look like soldiers to us.
    2
  1750.  @KingCaribe  NATO did this on our behalf. Unfortunately, I am American, and it didn't represent me.
    2
  1751.  @KingCaribe  We view this differently.
    2
  1752. So you think the extradition hearing is just a formality, hoodiewoman louisiana? I had read that there is a legal history of not extraditing from Britain to countries that have the death penalty.
    2
  1753.  @VidarrKerr , I had to look it up. What a great word. How did I never hear of it before?
    2
  1754.  @Baker.Matthew  It's people, I tell you. Soylent Green is people.
    2
  1755.  @Georgia-Vic  Also, it's why I loved being an urban planner.
    2
  1756. Same, Nudge.
    2
  1757. It has that potential, jodi houts.
    2
  1758.  Nelson Giles  I hope it does the trick.
    2
  1759. "Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine" came out in 2006, Malene Dietl. It seems like a book that could change everything. What needs to happen to get people to respond and change this?
    2
  1760.  @duczman76  Or that they only pretend to like us. Nobody can tell me that.
    2
  1761. Thank you for reporting this important story, which is difficult to understand as presented on MSM, when it even is. We have a right to know what our own government is doing. They are supposed to represent us. Excellent reporting.
    2
  1762. Articulate, right Jacob Maxey.
    2
  1763. Another way of seeing paxwallacejazz....everyone gets to be young only once. :)
    2
  1764. The Clintons have no one left to lie to, Caleb.
    2
  1765. Dr. Brar is an excellent guest on the urgency and politics of this subject, The Truth - Love It Or Hate It.
    2
  1766. I find that reassuring, MrChillerNo1.
    2
  1767.  @MrChillerNo1  I thought it was my idea. Truly nothing is new.
    2
  1768.  Helen Kim  How can that be repaired?
    2
  1769.  Helen Kim , I agree. I recently watched a 1960 Presidential debate between Kennedy and Nixon. It was illuminating that it was discussed as a top issue. We have clearly drifted away from those values at an institutional level.
    2
  1770. You write well, Andrea. In some ways, we are all alone. We die alone even if surrounded by people. The connection of realizing we are understood and loved is one of the more beautiful human experiences.It seems sad that Nietzsche, in all his brilliance, could not have this. It may have saved him or not.
    2
  1771.  @julieo6266  From this, it looks like you might not have to as the weapon would deter the criminals.
    2
  1772.  @uponreflection7336  Thank you. Can semi-automatic weapons can be converted, or just some of them?
    2
  1773. Same here, Alvaro Ramos. It is challenging not to tyrannize oneself.
    2
  1774. They have the same hair colour. Adorable video. I love that she once had a weight issue and adopted him to rehabilitate. I have helped some dogs through things I once experienced myself. It's a poetic reason.
    2
  1775.  @stevenhenry4127  Good, thanks.
    2
  1776. I put this moment here.
    2
  1777.  @glennhubbard5008  Esoteric clickbait, though.
    2
  1778. David I will always help you if I can. I am about to focus on working on myself.
    2
  1779. Thanks for tracking the latest research for us. I will now wear a mask at the supermarket.
    2
  1780.  @audie2064  I never knew the relatives who were starved to death. It is abstract to me; time and distance. I once tried making reparations personally to see what it would feel like. It was a few months after I read Mr. Coates compelling article in the Atlantic. I sent two thousand dollars, I believe in helping with early childhood support and development in Chicago. I felt happy about it. It's abstract, though.
    2
  1781.  @blackelephantintheroom9616  Wrong. "My people" had nothing to do with the white people who had slaves, and they didn't inflict anything on "your people." It was a thought experiment for me. You can feel how you want to about me giving $2,000 to neonatal care and education in Chicago. If you resent it for some reason, I have to find it funny.
    2
  1782. However you got your hands on this think tank study, excellent find. Thanks for reporting.
    2
  1783.  @TheLinuxYes , It's all bullshit.
    2
  1784.  @well-8814  I have wondered if the fact that she is Irish when (at least in my imagination) the Irish would favour going against the busybody English gives her a unique political position, at which she is brilliant.
    2
  1785. Truth, Earla Weese. The situation is obscene.
    2
  1786. We could learn about cultures by studying their homeless.
    2
  1787. Think where these governments might be putting their resources if they had not made their original tragic mistake in policy. There will be sacrifices in other things people need to live. This could change the way even they think of America.
    2
  1788. It will take that and some resulting action, omar rana.
    2
  1789. Imagine science if we outlawed peer-reviewed papers. Why bother with it, then? If there is anything we need free speech and thought on, it's this.
    2
  1790. OMG. Now, they have turned me into a facist too, because I would love it Abel Gonzalez.
    2
  1791. Also, not much of a friend, Leticia Cortez.
    2
  1792. D Outcast, after living in the States for thirty years, I think that it is more accurate that the majority of Americans are America fanatics. I think it might have something to do with football.

  1793. It's all fun and games until they grow pin feathers and crap all over your basement, John Control.
    2
  1794. Agreed. He sounds smart, SparkyonPC.

  1795.  @indianextinhindi8280  I find him an excellent analyst.
    2
  1796. It is excellent.
    2
  1797. Here in Alberta, I have found the coverage of opposition to the pipeline lame, until today. They did an excellent job of reporting this and even took it a step further to busting R.C.M.P. who illegally removed protest signs from tribal land. These signs were later put back.
    2
  1798.  @bobfowler393  Free him. It's long overdue. I hope he is okay and will be back with his family soon.
    2
  1799. Your comment reminds me of a friend who gave up having a typical youth for training in hopes of getting on an Olympic swim team, John Ryan. I am glad she didn't compete against a man who had done the same thing and then transitioned. And a detransitioning trend is newsworthy regardless of what people think of it going against a narrative.

  1800. This show has been excellent lately. Jimmy Dore is on fire.
    2
  1801. Peace is more dangerous than war? Insane.
    2
  1802. You don't think prison guards could be incompetent, Michelle Thomas?
    2
  1803. For all women? What about the women who support the coup because they want that oil?
    2
  1804. We have to do something.
    2
  1805. Waiting in the locker room would be a different form of protest that might be even more noticeable. I wonder if there will be penalties?
    2
  1806. That poor woman. My heart goes out to her and against the monsters that did that to her. She is brave.
    2
  1807.  @adamwatson6916  Is our government as totalitarian? Is it an illusion that we could?
    2
  1808.  @NellieKAdaba  That's what I think, too. It's hard to shelter in place if you don't have a home. On the other hand, the ones who had it and survived are now immune. They didn't say how many people died.
    2
  1809.  @NellieKAdaba I have heard that too, but I think it is rare.
    2
  1810. I will be interesting to see how Democracy Now! reports this, as the White HOuse denies it. However, after reading Seymour Hersh's biography "Reporter," I find him admirable and credible.
    2
  1811. Were you wanting to go?
    2
  1812. Arizona has such a sad legacy in school funding. It really is more hideous than people from other places would imagine.
    2
  1813. I wondered about that too, E Walker. It sounded like maybe censorship is doled out based on what country your IP address appears to be from. I wonder how that is administered (if centrally, yikes) and what the rules are for every country? It seems like maybe in our case, these would be established by the deep state and classified. I wonder if they also might play a hand on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube censorship? At the least, we should make them publish the rules.

  1817. My 26-year-old son introduced me to the concept of "bullshit jobs" Jan E. Elliot. David Graeber must have reached many people.
    2
  1818. I bet a lot of journalists will or would be "erasing and smaskng servers?" Or will be? We have to document the "before" precisely. :)
    2
  1819. Our wars of intervention are the cause of the destabilization that forced these people to flee from their homes. We clearly didn't do it for those people, Doc Will. Some doctors without borders are of a different opinion.
    2
  1820.  @thegentlegibbon  You must know my kids.
    2
  1821.  @Melton80  I think of Venezuela as having a large Mestizo population. Maybe it's hard to buy a plane ticket with that hyper-inflated money of theirs.
    2
  1822. I like the melting Eiffel Tower for the climate change item.
    2
  1823. For some reason, I am surprised that they advertise on Linked-in. How isn't there more outrage in the States? "Bold-faced" is a good term for it.
    2
  1824. He seems more like a born journalist, @sharond7355. He couldn't have given a better speech, though.
    2
  1825.  @hypercept  There are notable exceptions.
    2
  1826. People often fail to get all excited about it. As an urban planner, I would be horrified if the census was even less of a snapshot of people on the ground. Illegal aliens have the same impacts on the function of roads and transit systems as other people. These systems can be planned for and run well or poorly. It takes accurate information. I hope that people who want the immigration question on the census think about this next time they are stuck in traffic.
    2
  1827. It's hardly a grand gesture, stonecoldmurphy.
    2
  1828.  @utubeape  I am skeptical because how would a global pandemic not impact the perpetrator's people? It seems idiocy if correct.

  1829. I have been wishing someone would do that, Fiddler Tipsy.
    2
  1830.  @marblenerdjones4630  Don't have too many drinks when one goes out is useful. I have no idea if I frightened or disgusted anyone, but I was left with a pang of vague, unspecified guilt.
    2
  1831. Canada's slight increase likely reflects the first phase of easing the restrictions. There will be effects for all three phases planned for my region.

  1832. Isn't broadcasting captured soldiers speaking against their homeland against the rules of war?

  1836. @Co Ragoo Who? Do you have details?

  1837. I have no clue how I got so lucky, but this is typical of what I find on the internet. In general, excellent content, Paula Landhart. :)

  1838.  @jasperrafols750  I didn't write as much as I planned, but I read twice as much. Maybe tomorrow I will write two essays. I will write to them.

  1839.  @griffydz1789  He has the viewers, right?
    2
  1840.  6BillionSilencedAccounts ByAntiFreeSpeechYewtube  I wonder, what were their options? Was it this, or suspend the Grayzone account as they did with Trump. If they pushed back, it might get more publicity than this?

  1841. Some people love music like this.

  1842.  @Winnertthefallen  DN is from New York, where there are crazier things on every block that nobody bats an eye over. They didn't notice, I think.

  1845. I would like to see Bernie Sanders in a debate with Donald Trump. I am not sure I agree that he would be "steamrolled."

  1846.  @thalesnemo2841 , I became a citizen to vote for him if I had the opportunity and ended up not voting.

  1847. You must be insane, Justin Trushell. "Rewriting the Rules of the American Economy" is genius in its simplicity.

  1848.  Peace Be Upon Me  Pants on fire. Nobody could emerge from child alcoholism with that kind of a brain.

  1849.  @mrfuzztone  Good comment. Some days I am prone to dramatic thinking.
    2
  1850. Thanks for covering this. I have been giving UNHCR $100 a month since I saw "The Human Flow," made by Ai Weiwei, which is a compelling documentary on the migrant crisis. At the very worst, I thought, it would be ineffectual. The person on the phone told me that they were giving the money to the families of Afgan refugees, as they would best know how to help them. I wonder if I ask them for an accounting of what they have done with the money I sent them, what they will say? It hardly seems worth it? I have been a chump, I think, though.

  1852.  fynes leigh  It seemed useful to point out that there are more than millions of people in China. It was the first number I pulled off the internet and appeared to originate from the World Bank. I have heard the population of China as 1.3 from many sources over time, so I had that general sense. According to the World Bank, there are some 1.38 billion people in China. It is more an easily looked-up fact than statistical skullduggery. Numbers will vary slightly, but Wikipedia puts the number at 1.428 billion. I stand corrected. There sure are a lot of people in China.
    2
  1853.  @kashifmalhan4384  In October 2003, Khamenei issued a fatwa forbidding the production of weapons of mass destruction. Later, in 2005, this was cited in an official statement by the Iraninan Government at International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna.
    2
  1854.  @danmc3959  My guess is as good as yours.
    2
  1855. Perhaps. I thought if I tried it, it might work anyways. When I think of how that heroic man and his family have suffered, it seems so cruel.

  1856.  @michaelmisquez5794  Perhaps something different will change and he will get his life back. I hope so.

  1859. Michael Moore is not actually doing us many favours on the correct facts/ I wss reasons for polemic, but don't like it much? Scucci Tedescucci.

  1860.  @rhythmicmessenger  Could be.
    2
  1861. @Lazer Benabba I am from the west, and it looked like the main thing they wanted was not expanding NATO. Isn't that reasonable?
    2
  1862.  @cattreeoflife980  It is not unreasonable for us to feel some responsibility.
    2
  1863.  @Nuclearcx  Excellent. If she had Bernie Sanders as a mentor, she knows a few tricks.
    2
  1864. Thanks. I have been looking forward to Aaron Mate's comments on this "breaking story." It created an excellent opportunity in meta-journalism, though.
    2
  1865.  @jaelge  IDK. With my dog, I sometimes feel like a slave.
    2
  1866. Given the history of Korean experience with America, it is easy to understand, Ernest L. Pena. It does look like he shook things up with this visit. Trump seems quite an idiot here.
    2
  1867. I wonder how these numbers compare with the population averages? It warrants looking at the numbers in other places as people are still getting the vaccines. If the results are confirmed by the peer review, it seems urgent. It makes me wonder, why wouldn't this be a part of the ongoing epidemiological study from its inception? I hope it is, and we find out the facts quickly in the interest of public health.
    2
  1868.  @MikeYurbasovich  The executives will walk with huge profits and Moderna will take the hit on it's way down. We have corporate personhood under the law. Why not treat corporations as the overriding personhood and make them liable in a way that supercedes the lizards seeing a path for themselves?
    2
  1869.  @illusionarytactic  You could ignore the parts you don't like and take in some theatre.
    2
  1870. I wonder if the industrial big farma agricultural production system in the States would have precluded any notion of a farmers protest? Hypothetically>?
    2
  1871. It does not seem impossible that some of them enjoy inflicting the misery, Ked Kangaroo.
    2
  1872. It was easy to miss. Amy Goodman made a brief statement of the fact without further comment. Then, nothing about the subsequent use of this action to ban RT from White House press briefings. I am disappointed. I used to think of Democracy Now as a defender of freedom of the press.
    2
  1873. I admit that the concept of a "Disinformation Governance Board," looks heinous, but if, for some reason, it actually went for transparency and public comment, it might work if the press and public showed up for it. Then it would represent us. In most cases, if you worked this out and went for it, your boss would give it the kibosh, because he is bound to corporate interests.
    2
  1874.  @IceyJones  I often notice this channel having a way with words.
    2
  1875.  @SamJohnson-us2br  Yeah. Sure. I don't believe you.
    2
  1876.  Lúzia A Morta  3 or 4. For example, they misrepresented the failed coup in Venezuela to us and promoted costly wars of intervention instead of investing in this country. I believe that they represent corporations at our expense.
    2
  1877.  @LukeDeeDoo  It does look like cheeto dust.
    2
  1878. Noam Chomsky is in his nineties. It is difficult to know why he changed, but based on what I know about him, it was not for careerist reasons. Of course, we don't know what happened, and I no longer think of him as a pundit, but that doesn't negate his work. We stand on his shoulders in our work, regardless of things he may say in his nineties. I am not sure if you know many ninety-year-olds, but I have recently engaged with several of them I learned years ago, and they seem to have diminished mental capacity.
    2
  1879. @Albo alt I don't doubt it.
    2
  1880.  @philipharris-smith5889  I knew he was a warmonger and beholden to big banks. It sounds like I don't know half of it.
    2
  1881.  @nofinn1044  Pit bulls can have a strong prey drive. The key, I think is for them to get used to one another's scent for several weeks. I once got a dog and cat used to each other that way. It went from, "This will never work," to them cuddled up together.
    2
  1882.  @felipe-vibor  Didn't think they would go even that far. It looked different for a minute.
    2
  1883.  @jimmysparks315  In a sense, they are correct. South America is physically within our sphere of influence compared to the other two superpowers. It is immoral to disregard their sovereignty, though.

  1884. These are anomalies with more occurrences in on some forces than others and MUST be stopped, Azch Dancy.

  1886.  Darius A  It seems that vitamin d may be useful to some people.

  1887. Maybe it's something with the military., Andrew W. Colonel Wilkerson often appears with a picture on the wall behind him that appears to represent courtly love; with the man on bended knee becoming a knight.

  1889. Definitely a man of the year face, colossal shift.
    2
  1890.  @Jean-rg4sp  I have a hard time believing I wouldn't refuse. It's hard to imagine having things like that on my conscience or wanting to do them in the first place. It makes me wonder if any people I know would do these things. The desk killers were ordinary people.
    2
  1891.  @Jean-rg4sp  I recommend the book "The Desk Killers."
    2
  1892.  @Jean-rg4sp  I agree.

  1893.  @noobt2464  Much as I enjoy that image, they need to answer the questions.

  1894. We have united against the US, but only to be mildly annoyed. Sticks and stones. What are we going to do, burn down the White House again? Not worth it.
    2
  1895. What we are not talking about much yet, Anonymous; we won't like what comes after America. Our days as the global superpower are numbered.
    2
  1896. I recognize that my feelings on the topic are ridiculous in a historical context. I won the lottery in the time and place of my birth. It always shifts.
    2
  1897. It was the most comprehensive and objective analysis I have seen, vojta limr. I love how he zooms out to the big picture.
    2
  1898.  @nicolasdelaforge7420  That sounds far-fetched. That's awful. But that reminds me of the far larger picture you told me you were about to paint for me years ago. I will look into this, as much as I can from a house in Canada. Thanks for the tip.
    2
  1899.  @daddyleon  It would help me. :)
    2
  1900. An apt description, P.A. Andrews. From here, it looks grotesque.
    2
  1901. Increasingly. No country will continue to act against its interests without at least a commensurate payoff for long. Zeil Siez. They appear to have relied on historical agreements similar to those in the past?
    2
  1902.  @Mengung-vz3lq  It looks that way so far. Will we continue to incite an Iran that houses Chinese investment?
    2
  1903.  @jinndoe7068  The Grayzone is excellent.
    2
  1904. @Anita Raise Let me know if you need help or if you could use my service. I was pretty good at working on a thing like that once.
    2
  1905. Yikes, Louis.
    2
  1906. It's not just in the States. I received a mailer with this same propaganda last week. They called it the "CCP Virus." If it was a bulk mailing in my Canadian neighbourhood, at least a quarter of the recipients were Chinese of Chinese descent.
    2
  1907.  @m0-m0597  Hard to say. Libertarians believe in a wide variety of things.
    2
  1908. @Mars Falcon Good thinking. You too.
    2
  1909. Being in litigation is like having a dark nebulous cloud over one's head, though, Queen Street Systems. It may not be worth it.
    2
  1910. The Venezuelan Minister is exceptionally well-spoken. I can't believe some people think of government work as boring.
    2
  1911. Same here, Sammy Stone. Change for me this minute.
    2
  1912.  @brandonwhite4992 I don't know about you. I needed to hear it.
    2
  1913.  @blackcoffeebeans6100  True. Unfortunately, our education, employment benefits, and healthcare are abysmal. We spend our fiat currency on other things.
    2
  1914. Simone Smit, I know some excellent simple people I am fond of who value different things. I don't hold it against them. Not everyone has to have my values.
    2
  1915.  @simonesmit6708  Cretins. I agree.
    2
  1916. If this is like the banking debacle, the executives will get huge bonuses and move on, then the companies will be left in place with no changes in the regulations because it might be bad for the economy.
    2
  1917. I doubt change will come from the top, when our Congress is owned by corporations. We have no option to get policy that represents us by voting on that. I have no clue what to do, and am happy attending to my family, but we can't accept that as "the way it is." I was an urban planner, and it is correct that it is easier to make changes at the local level. If I think of something that I could do that would make any difference in (for example) stopping our wars of economic intervention, I would. Writing my Congressional representative was less than satisfying. It's not that I give up, I haven't seen a path.
    2
  1918.  @johnlewis9158  Russel Brand may in fact be an idiot, but he has a lot of followers, and has made tangible small changes. Like that time he got the US asset management firm Westbrook Partners to back down from evicting dozens of families from the New Era Housing Estate in London. He is humble about it, having said "that he "inadvertently wandered into the heart of a truly exciting moment to oppose tyrannical government and big business." I wonder who has shifted more thinking in the world?
    2
  1919. If you want someone to hear you, maybe don't say "people like you?"
    2
  1920.  @A_Discipline_Problem  I saw Amy Goodman speak in Phoenix some twenty years ago and was impressed. From my busy life perspective, this was the answer to a MSM. I thought of DN as some kind of a saviour alternative media. I retired a few years ago, have had time to read and followed independant media, and now think they are a mouthpiece for the Democratic party. They are every bit the corrupt war mongers the Republicans are. I realize that nobody is unbiased and I could always be wrong, but I like to hear as many sides to a story as there are and form my conclusion without help.
    2
  1921.  @Will_Moffett  I think they are about my age. Do you mean that they choose not to use open source intelligence? It's probably a lot harder to gague for accuracy and might result in false leads? Surely on some of these stories there is enough conjecture by others to suggest the likely valid counter narratives and follow up on them?
    2
  1922.  Hussein Abdulmalik  I donated a few thousand dollars and would not have if I had understood how the Democrats have worked for a long time. It nauseated me to think that my donations to "Act Blue" might have been funnelled to Hillary's campaign. I have never been inspired to donate money to a political campaign before Bernie's because I wanted what was in his platform and would not have voted for Hillary.
    2
  1923.  @pbrooksart  That's so awful. I am impressed.
    2
  1924.  @elton7425 What is wrong with us? We are going to go too far one of these days. Or stop, I hope.
    2
  1925.  @jackwilhelm9551  Anecdotal, but I have met racists who were not wealthy.

  1926. Either that or he shares our bias, jaffari kawende. An excellent analyst.
    2
  1927.  @richardwicks4190 I can't argue that he wasn't brilliant. He could have used what he saw to promote educating the masses to their interests rather than keeping them in line. Apparently, he saw control as the greater good. When I look at what's left of our culture and think about if these should be our norms, maybe he was correct. It seems that those who have it within their grasp to influence these things are mindless, soulless idiots, though.
    2
  1928.  @richardwicks4190  Perhaps "brilliant" was the wrong word. Unfortunately, he made his mark on the world. We have heard of him, and his ideas have been somewhat pervasive. He believed that the masses should be manipulated in these ways.
    2
  1929.  @dudeman5303  Excellent point. I was making up a story based on the fact that Dr. Gabor emanates a kind of calm, balanced energy.
    2
  1930. Excellent writing. Thank you. This "security theatre" is sometimes intentionally used as an excuse to start wars for economic purposes and warp the intentions and where the money actually goes in rescue efforts. (See "Disaster Capitalism")
    2
  1931.  @MesoMan77  That would be excellent.

  1932. Ben Norton is an excellent journalist. It is hard not to get caught up in his enthusiasm for the truth.

  1933. I am American. Please, how can we make our country stop this genocide.
    2
  1934.  @afghanniaz1929  I have read that many of the soldiers on both sides do it because they lack other economic opportunities.
    2
  1935. It makes me wonder as it is undoubtedly beyond our design skills. But, it is impressive, norma casino. I sometimes wonder if nature is god.
    2
  1936.  @AhmetHabsa  Yes. Except because the existence of God can neither be proven nor disproven, it makes me strongly suspect rather than believe. The fact that so much of nature is and always will be far beyond anything humans could conceive or design is another compelling argument.
    2
  1937. Thanks from Canada. Another excellent segment.
    2
  1938. Excellent guest today, The Truth - Love It Or Hate It.
    2
  1939.  D Das  That isn't what I meant. The other ridiculous extreme that is more often the reality is that all the poor people live in one place, and everyone else lies somewhere else. I am a retired urban planner and fought to change this even if only a little (because it is difficult) for my entire career. I became a planner when I began to think of great cities as one of the highest achievements of mankind. As much as people may have moved to the suburbs and feel that they like the classes being isolated, their favourite places are cities that belong to everyone who lives in them. Trails and pathways, parks and libraries are as important as where the housing is, but certainly not to people who lack housing. You will feel a great city when you see one.
    2
  1940.  Symon Mailhot  So in a confederacy, the provinces would be autonomous, and they are not? I am Canadian too and think that he nailed our basic geopolitics in this one.
    2
  1941.  @hershchat  I suspect some of that might go into the construction of a Caspian report. Throwing in the opposing viewpoint to consider usually results in a more reasoned opinion if you use it or not. Hegel would approve.
    2
  1942. I liked when he trash-talked Donald Trump, Joe Blow. Small consolation to those with stab-wounds.
    2
  1943.  @72marshflower15  It will be easy to pull from the ranks of soldiers who responded to the recent Memorial Day online survey, "What has serving in the military meant to you."
    2
  1944.  @arablumenfeld2994  I have found him fascinating lately, as he has been illuminating the dynamics of why we have the MSM we do. Journalists understand this in a way novices to the field may not.
    2
  1945. This writing is crisp and concise. Good job.
    2
  1946. This reminds me of the many people in the States who have full-time jobs and still do not have enough money for basic needs. It would be interesting to compare the two and how much of the problem is due to migration, globalization and fiscal and political policies.
    2
  1947.  @MrBoDiggety  A lot of us are on to this now? I hope.
    2
  1948. Identifying the problem and having people find you credible is a monumental first step, Tobi Kief. There is nobody better at this than Noam Chomsky. He changed my world view.

  1949. Just the facts, Maam.

  1950.  @Amilakasun1  Why guild a lily? Content over flash. It stands out.
    2
  1951.  @mknoxjackson  Even from watching one, you get that he is quite an analyst.
    2
  1952.  chindoo  I think it's like drinking too much coffee. I like that Abby Martin is passionate about her subject matter. For me, dramatics can be distracting from the content, though. My taste may be an extreme minority opinion; as it wouldn't be the first time. Overall, I am impressed by Ms. Martin's reporting.
    2
  1953.  @janicewilson9813  If you think I doubted her integrity, you put words in my mouth.
    2
  1954. This is excellent. You are extra articulate when you're mad. Have you ever thought of being a candidate? Thanks.
    2
  1955. Is it deliberate if the biometrics have more standing than a flesh and blood young person wanting to learn to read? Regardless, it's bizarre.
    2
  1956. The American government should honour the Constitution, Vaelsung1. If they don't, they are behaving illegally.
    2
  1957.  @kirklandday  He seems like he was born to do this. He gets so caught up in it that it makes him compelling to watch.
    2
  1958. Wouldn't that make these comments by other people irrelevant, Pensive? Are they insane? Excellent show, Kim Iverson.
    2
  1959.  @jakjac645  There are probably many factors. There was a correlation between poverty and enduring industrial contaminants. I wonder if the trend for "dirty" industries is still to locate them in poorer areas.
    2
  1960. As a representative of old people, I am not quite sure about mollycoddling either. It was generally used in reference to overprotective parents. This news today is like watching a horror movie, but thanks for reporting it.
    2
  1961. I like that too, except then I wonder if any of the comments could be made up@TheWaller.
    2
  1962.  @WeighedWilson  Yes. That and "but only if they adapt to changing conditions."
    2
  1963.  @bekeneel  I heard a rumour that several of them have been stopped.
    2
  1964. Exactly She may have noticed this recently  @tamilly7941 
    2
  1965. I will write a letter to the editor about Canada's involvement in this. I feel helpless. At least this will be something.
    2
  1966. There are people who don't see it, Mockracy. They believe him.
    2
  1967.  @denisebilby4947  Me, either. A lot of people are still fooled.
    2
  1968. At least, it would have been all over the news, as it should have been. He travelled to Ukraine for business on Airforce Two. His father was Vice President. How does that not look like selling government favors, Joe Stanley?
    2
  1969.  @JohnSmith-nz2yq , There is often more to it than that. I wanted to be single for years after my divorce. Now, I would like to find a companion. It has nothing to do with funds.
    2
  1970. Cheers You  @pennyfulton3418  ! I have seen how things can go. They have a way of changing.
    2
  1971. You're a psychologist? That sure isn't how I envision being in love with a man. I am a woman.
    2
  1972.  Philip Murphy  I hate to agree because I have respect for Amy Goodman and Democracy Now's history. I do, though.
    2
  1973.  @stanattaphia24  You could be correct on that.
    2
  1974. My parents had apartment buildings. Even in normal times, the laws in some places make it difficult to evict people who don't pay their rent or damage property. It can take many months and they still had to keep the lights on even if they lost money.
    2
  1975. Unfortunately, there is no silver bullet, mreshadow. This is tragic, but a story from time immemorial. The fact that we now have a school shooting something like every three days is something new. Saroya Chemali raises some excellent theories. It would be interesting to look at the internet histories of these shooters.
    2
  1976.  @Sandwich13455  It would be a big step toward bringing our troops home.
    2
  1977. I am sorry that the Ecuadorian government is planning to withdraw their asylum for Julian Assange. He failed to appear and sought shelter for a crime that prosecutors have since said he did not commit in the first place. Where is his own Austrailian government weighing in on this treatment of one of its citizens?
    2
  1978. Disband NATO, Rob Drake.
    2
  1979. I wondered about how our system compares to that in the States and had a candid discussion with a Canadian GP about a year ago. He lamented the change over the past decade...He could get a cancer patient in to see an oncologist the same day and now it can take months. I asked if he thought our shortage of specialists was a result of the higher wages of doctors. He said he thought it more a lifestyle choice. Many Canadian doctors only work three or four days a week.
    2
  1980. I am sure that a lot of cancer patients die before they can see an oncologist.
    2
  1981. I just saw a video like this on YouTube, PanzerBuyer. I guess they haven't put the rules of engagement into their algorithm.
    2
  1982. In Arizona, many full-time State employees qualify for social assistance. It is probably the same in many states. This is an unfortunate model of government.
    2
  1983. sad cat, ne sois pas triste mon amour.
    2
  1984.  @KaffeeMM  Hahaha. It doesn't have to be sad, though.
    2
  1985. If it promotes this, it is excellent, Claire W.
    2
  1986.  kingpest13  I will too.
    2
  1987.  @lomborg4876  It's difficult to see what either would gain?
    2
  1988.    Yikes.
    2
  1989. Disappointing. I was hoping for a Bernie and Tulsi ticket and thought they could win. His domestic policy and her foreign is pretty close to what I believe would be the best. It's my first chance to vote as a citizen, and I may pass.
    2
  1990.  @mikeherschel8924  I have been watching videos by Dr. John Campbell in the UK, and a variety of other sources and am not so sure that the sickness is overblown. We don't know yet. It seems that we should keep a close watch on its spread. The decline of cases in China may be encouraging?
    2
  1991. I think "yes," Ruben Verheij.
    2
  1992. Infrastructure, not bombs, keff. Chinese investment in Africa could solve a lot of poverty.
    2
  1993.  @Mosely2007  At what cost? She is an idiot for valuing the wrong things.
    2
  1994.  @createx1751  I usually find the Caspian report factual, but it sounds like he almost said "They hate us for our freedom." Source? Other than that, excellent.
    2
  1995. Bob Miller, after your first sentence I wondered if your co-worker had checked his facts. Politicians are usually smart in avoiding the flack that would come with such a likely controversy.
    2
  1996. You may be putting words in the mouths of at least some Trump supporters, Ahman Ahm.
    2
  1997. I heard that this is a growing industry in Germany, buzzkillean.
    2
  1998.  @piconano  Another possibility would be indifferent to good and evil. That is central to some religions.
    2
  1999. Hahaha.
    2
  2000. I want that, too. It is possible.
    2
  2001. Thank you so much.
    2
  2002. For a while I was not sure. This was after asking a meteorologist. I was fooled by a scientist.
    2
  2003. You sound like a climate denier, Mike B. Not planning on having great-grandchildren? :)
    2
  2004. Mine too, Bridesbiscuit. Excellent and timely.
    2
  2005. Having never had the urge to kick a cat, I prefer Stoicism.
    2
  2006. Wrong. I know how it looks. Maybe I have just never had a bad encounter with a cat.
    2
  2007. vanillahapynis TM so was I. A winky face didn't occur to me. Most cool.
    2
  2008. "Can't get over?" Our collective lack of introspection is astounding.
    2
  2009. Thanks for the information, Chicago Turtle. I wonder how related these numbers are to the fact that we have the world's largest prison population and for-profit prisons?
    2
  2010. How to say something and nothing at the same time.
    2
  2011.  @JeremyUllmannTravel  I do. You will have a hard time convincing me that wasn't an amusement of hers. I liked it, at least.
    2
  2012.  @drnoahjuvalhararihackableanima  Co-ercion? Oversensitive to criticism? Touchy? Does that tell us anything?
    2
  2013.  @drnoahjuvalhararihackableanima  Mandators and dictators are the same. I prefer to call them dictators.
    2
  2014.  @Mtaalas  If they are smart, they will distinguish between expectation and need. We don't need people in our lives who would deliberately hurt us. Also, it may be useful to look at the finite number of triggers of anger (Threat to life or limb, Insult, Family, Environment, Mating, Order in Society, Access to resources, or being Stopped from doing something we want to do). If the expectation set up by an asswang was unrealistic, picture it as a soap bubble and extinguish it with a pin. Hahaha. The key is to not let people who would do that into your life, and to get rid of them if you realize that you have done it on accident, because it didn't occur to you how mean and awful some people can be. Who needs those people?
    2
  2015.  @330wiz7  I bet a lot of old people get taken in, as he has been in their homes for decades.
    2
  2016. There is room for improvement, but it could be worse. In part because of federal regulations and the EPA.
    2
  2017. I thought the point of the internet was that it was not the MSM and that the consumers would have more choice? I use Youtube, read books and cross-check to find in-depth news that I can believe. It is often factually different than the MSM. This includes news from your garage, which has always checked out as credible.
    2
  2018. "...by the light of the past." I might feel pretty disoriented in that setting. It could make one afraid to do anything. It reminds me of the First Nations childred we kidnapped to de-indian them. That caused a lot of damage over time. My family inhabits two different countries. I am not sure how to process it?
    2
  2019. Was that photoshopped  @terrimabrey93  Hahaha. Or maybe it's real. Oompa loompas were a colour.
    2
  2020. Haven't we had enough reality television @Ian Johnson
    2
  2021. Which is more salient? That they were tricked into covering up nothing; Or how egregious they were in doing it.@Ian Johnson I'm no attorney, but these are both ideas in our legal system. Richard Nixon did know about Watergate. Al Capone did cheat on his taxes. It is true that he was prosecuted on the cover up. Hmmm.
    2
  2022.  @jamescarrington9320 Wouldn't that be something? I will keep my fingers crossed.
    2
  2023. Luke Harding is a hack.
    2
  2024.  @BoydGilbreath  They shouldn't pretend to select the candidate democratically. It makes them look bad.
    2
  2025.  @tesscot  I watched one of the inspectors interviewed on the Grayzone and found him believable. They have been doing excellent work on Syria lately.
    2
  2026.  @OhiohammerPodcast  I would trust the news on this more if they included data and projections. Perhaps we are waiting for it?
    2
  2027.  @ostost6400  Excellenht point. When I made my comment I had forgotten that in America, the approval rating of a President goes up every time one goes to war. There is a perception that Americans must unite against a common enemy, anyone who isnt "us."
    2
  2028. Where do your maids and doormen live? Your corner grocery store owners? How long does it take people to die of horrific commutes? Maybe decades. It makes it harder to see?
    2
  2029.  @tammygallant6004  Which you do stomping in cowboy boots. I feel your pain.
    2
  2030.  @Will_Moffett  I have a theory that it's a calling. It is if he was born to be an excellent journalist.
    2
  2031. I have only watched the first ten minutes so far. It's uncanny. The day before, I was groping to come up with the right term. I started with "territorial dominance hierarchies,' and it seemed wrong for being too simplistic. I ended up at "territorial prerogative hierarchies." Brian Eno said what I was getting at more articulately already. Scenious.
    2
  2032.  @helenafrasiabi8594  Unless he is fooling us somehow.
    2
  2033.  @phatplates  Maybe that would do it?
    2
  2034. Smart. My next phone will be Huawei. Quashing competition by trying to stop technological improvement is not in our interest as a human race.
    2
  2035.  @georgemubanga1878  Except don't make her work Saturday to assert your dominance if you don't need that. Or she will quit. If you really need that, and it isn't a case of you being a lousy employer or bad planning (unless it's an occasional mistake), and she cares, she will do it. If you care, you will be reasonable. You are being tested too. If you can see it wouldn't be sustainable, both of you should reject it from the outset.
    2
  2036. Especially now that he has taken a position on foreign affairs, @deandeo0369. I am glad he is there.
    2
  2037. I came back to this to find a link in yesterday's comments, and I can't find it. It was to what might have been a well-researched piece on the history of US aggression in Syria.
    2
  2038.  @rachelpickens6025  Think William Whyte's "The Organizational Man."
    2
  2039. Thanks. Excellent interview.
    2
  2040. This was openly discussed in Congress, but this is the first time I have heard this account. I can't recall how it was portrayed on the news in North America, but it seems likely that it was different from this. Excellent interview.
    2
  2041. I didn't hear that, Phil Corbett-Butler.
    2
  2042. I can hardly believe that she exists. It's like she is magic or something. At last, a sane person, Calvin S.
    2
  2043. There are exceptions within as well.
    2
  2044. You might be listening to the wrong music, Marethyu.
    2
  2045.  @dirtbag227  Americans are among the most frightened people in the world.
    2
  2046. Me: Operating with each branch of government needing the other to get things done as in the US Constitution. That should work.
    2
  2047.  Bronco 48  I wonder if we could magically have the same forms of world governance but shuffle the players around to different countries, would different people placed in the same roles behave differently, or the same. I suspect that there will be a trend for different people to behave in similar ways when placed in similar circumstances.
    2
  2048. It is a red herring that works for many people.
    2
  2049.  @AlexandreEdison  Same as us, it seems. I hope I get the opportunity. I haven't seen a politician who thought instead of being bought for ages.
    2
  2050. MrMooemoney, are you a dairy farmer who sells your wares over the internet?
    2
  2051.  George AKA Dad  Canadians are more likely to do as they are told. It has both good and bad features.
    2
  2052.  @brunobgl  If true, that will be excellent.
    2
  2053. Think you can run from democracy Griffith? Amy Goodman sure is good at her job. She must train at a gym. Catchy "keep it in the ground" chant. I am going to do it at fitting times myself.
    2
  2054. Don't see it as a monolith, Laurelyn Day. My sons live in the States.
    2
  2055. I sometimes miss hour-long videos when I see too many of them because of time, not that I don't want to watch them, Johnnyc drums.
    2
  2056. Could you wait until you are 68, like me? :) At your age, I found turning 30 profound.
    2
  2057. I hope that informing the authorities has the result it will if our government is not completely corrupt, Mr K.
    2
  2058. I am pleased to see Democracy Now cover the extradition hearing and protests for Julian Assange. The CBC yesterday said only that some think he put lives in danger by his publications and made no mention of the war crimes that Wikileaks exposed. This is likely the only news many people will see on the subject, so it will probably be widely believed. Public opinion will then be fine with Mr. Assange rotting in an American prison. Not one person was ever harmed by these disclosures, and the war criminals have never been prosecuted.
    2
  2059.  @beatapogorzelska1241  War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, and Ignorance is Strength? You do as you please, running roughshod of whomever you may encounter because you are "special?" Hahaha. We are friends. I still love you.
    2
  2060.  @beatapogorzelska1241  Without question.
    2
  2061. Although this seems correct, there are also other features that attract the sexes to one another.
    2
  2062. Love, hate...it's all the same Robert Glidewell.
    2
  2063.  @GuacamoleyNacho  Those bastards.
    2
  2064. We shouldn't encourage this, but Dr. Meirsheimer sees conflict with other Asian countries in China's sphere as inevitable, given that China is rising as the next global hegemon.
    2
  2065.  @s._3560 , I misspoke because I was referring to the theory of offensive realism, so in a theoretical sense. I should have said, "there will be forces toward." It may be both things.
    2
  2066. That reminds me of the Twilight Zone where they read "To Serve Man," and it turned out to be a cookbook, Axis Galaxis.
    2
  2067. I wish I had the link to him boo hooing to emphasize sadness, Richard Atkinson. It stood out.
    2
  2068.  @MathUDX  You sound like you have studied this matter and have recommendations?
    2
  2069. I swear I have seen him in Dr. Suess, though, Bill Johnston. I will find the image.
    2
  2070.  @renehenriksen1735  Same here. I had never heard of the performer, and a friend invited me. I found out that the singer is famous for having a song in a Disney film? There were quite a few kids there, dancing. Seeing them was good for my soul, which was lucky. Otherwise, I would have felt trapped in an auditorium. I went with three other women and enjoyed our conversation. All in all, it was okay. The music was so-so. Not high culture, but Disney. Bland mass culture. I would have preferred beauty. If every day were one's birthday, the party would not be as fun. I still danced. Everyone was already standing, and the ticket was free.
    2
  2071.  @hmp5952  :)
    2
  2072.  @hmp5952  If it doesn't work this time, let us be friends? You will always be treasured by me.
    2
  2073. @Wheat Water & Fire Excellent ideas. I had never thought of and loved the concept of punitive taxes. There would be the potential for the intent to be corrupted in implementation. The key would be in how they were administered and enforced, though. In implementing environmental regulations, for example, governments often deliberately make a show of impacting the little guy, so it looks like something is being done with the larger-scale culprits going unimpeded because of the economic grip they have on the political system. We already make them provide their own infrastructure in some cases, but if they are expected to add significantly to the tax base, we are just as likely to offer them incentives. It would take a different mindset.
    2
  2074. @Wheat Water & Fire I think that what it would take is that the politicians who are the ones to make the decisions would have to believe in the public good, which should be the purpose of government. There will always be attempts at corruption and imposters among them. Such is the nature of bureaucracy. I never thought of it as an argument against socialism because it would be hard to imagine what would more corrupt than what we have now. I was an urban planner for many years, so I tend to think of implementation as equal in importance to the policy after seeing many gaps between them.
    2
  2075.  Jay Blake  A year later, after watching Dr. Wolff and doing some supplementary reading, I have changed my thinking and am all for it. It would be a mistake ever to consider it done because these things tend to drift off course. (Former g-woman.)
    2
  2076. Would they still be in NATO,, Vito o?
    2
  2077.  @gilliesiut2332  You should write an essay, please.
    2
  2078. I did not know that turtles like pancakes.
    2
  2079.  @CháleloTheAtheist  When I made the comment, I was responding to turtles eating pancakes? It is hard to remember nine months later.
    2
  2080. Good comment, eh John H.
    2
  2081. That coincided with the beginning of the decline of America's golden age, George Sais.
    2
  2082. This excellent interview is typical, Vegan Lion. Agreed.
    2
  2083. Why would they bother, herne777? They tell us when they do similar things, and we say and do nothing.
    2
  2084.  @extradimension7356  If I am an example of the average viewer, it is not uncommon on a day like today to feel as if one's head is about to explode at the horror of the scene unfolding before our eyes as we watch helplessly. It must be why we have religion or philosophy.
    2
  2085.  @extradimension7356  It is hard for me to think of the cause of concentration camps as being logistical problems. They seem more the result of degradation.
    2
  2086.  @Brad-pc3bi  She is a good soul. Now that you mention it.
    2
  2087. It would make us leave them alone, but they have a Fatwa against developing them. They decided this, not us.
    2
  2088.  Loam Bart  It is more typical to see speakers who have no connection to Hamas speculate on their views than to see a representative.
    2
  2089.  @billkattkatt1693 I am glad to hear you were able to do this. In my career, I saw a lot of wins or losses that were purely determined by who had the deepest pockets. For-profit prisons and the numbers, we incarcarate further corrupt things. It isn't a justice system if that's how it works. "The new attorney" will be people who figure out ways to do this kind of thing for themselves and developing collaborative support for it, I think.
    2
  2090. Our body/brain's unconscious feelings are often correct. Does this mean that we are meant to be depressed, CampingforCool41?
    2
  2091. I can picture this guy saying, "It's only a flesh wound" if he were shot. It takes courage to do this kind of meaningful work. I tend to think of "important" and "meaningful" as the same. Good point. I hope it proves crucial.
    2
  2092. I worry that Tulsi Gabbard will be hampered in stopping our wars of intervention if she is beholden to AIPAC, and am looking forward to the video where she explains her vote.
    2
  2093.  @DerekDominoes  Thank you. I have it on my bookshelf and will put it at the top of my pile of books.
    2
  2094.  @timwalsh6283  There are exceptions in these things that actually are good, but rarely. Haha. A lot of these are "plannerese" nonsense terms.
    2
  2095.  @davem5308  It usually is, but if tied to quantifiable sustainability measures (something many governments won't do), it can alert people if they are on a sinking ship unless something changes. It's in the indices.
    2
  2096.  @KingMickeyMouseOoO  That is often true. For all you know, a few of them might be changing the system from within, though.
    2
  2097.  @KingMickeyMouseOoO  I was an urban planner before I retired. So it can be telling if we look at different public health measures over time in this and other places. Sustainable for who and what?
    2
  2098.  @KingMickeyMouseOoO  I hear things are better in Norway.
    2
  2099.  @KingMickeyMouseOoO  I may have made up my impression that people would not be ruined by government economic policies in a neglectful economy in a socialist country, and that makes them sustainable without knowing much about the country. If I am right, good guess.
    2
  2100. I wish there were a companion video on what happened next and how their lives went. There were likely profound tragedies and maybe successes? These seem like ordinary kids facing extreme challenges after not getting the modicum of support to thrive.
    2
  2101. Articulate talk.
    2
  2102.  @jairolinares9869  It makes sense. I was guessing why they might have written it as they did. We never had that right, but we do use language to get around our own Constitution to do these things.
    2
  2103. It only takes watching the Grayzone a while, reading "The Management of Savagery" or Aron Mate's reporting on Russiagate or the chemical weapons hoax in Syria to see the Grayuzone as deadly serious. I find them one of the most credible sources.
    2
  2104.  @TheZodiacz  What if it was a transgender dance interpretation of the god of the underworld and Mickey Mouse's dog?
    2
  2105. Hillary is crooked, though. We don't know about Biden.
    2
  2106.  @Jmjdit  Yeah, but it's not the same thing. I always would have done better with someone else's work—except my own. I was seeking radical change.
    2
  2107. We can make up plausable stories all day, a walk, but either we know or we don't. It seems that we deserve a more definitive answer on many of these questions.
    2
  2108. I wonder how other governments feel about doing business in our fiat currency. It seems irresponsible.
    2
  2109. I had a heart attack a month after having the Pfizer vaccine, and have wondered if the two could be related. I exercise and eat healthy, so it might have been genetic? I had a blood clot in my heart. It seems unlikely I will ever know.
    2
  2110. The odds of a person who is not old and has been vaccinated dying is less than 1%. There has been a lot of money made of this. In Canada, I am troubled about the government response, which may have kidnap[ped me and putting me in a Covid hotel. I had to pay for three days as a government policy when everyone told me that the tests comd back the second day. In my imaginatio, there were "kickbacks" for this. Covert of overt.

  2116.  @Marxist2  Good idea. Also, I am glad that he is getting publicity over this. It might make other employers think twice about taking their worker's safety so lightly.

  2119.  @austenhead5303  Also, the scale is more prominent because there are many more people.

  2124. I take it that what you have done here is cast out a wide net of people you can feel superior to after some ambiguous virtue-signalling and a mixed passive-aggressive message that seems to say "You are an idiot, have a good day," R-Type.
    2
  2125. I can't help but wonder if your "Have a good day..." is a passive-aggressive jab of some kind. R-Type. I don't think you want us to have a good day and feel superior in the moment for it?

  2134. I thought this same thing about hierarchy Andrew Walker. To say that people should be equal is not the same as saying that they could all have the same value. I also agree that these sets of traits are not mutually exclusive.

  2149. Several huge bailouts were made to banks that may or may not have failed without them on the premise that they would. If we had left these banks to fail, it would have been a free-market correction, Frank Hynd.

  2151.  @psychoprosthetic  This may sound crazy, but for me, in both my work and life a shortcut way of getting out of a thought loop that is not productive is to throw in confounding factor. The first time I discovered this was for a class. My assignment was to do something that made my palms sweat, and my face turn red that would shock me into a new thought pattern. I was dubious, but I chose singing in public because I don't have an excellent singing voice. I decided "Singing in the Rain" because I couldn't remember all the words and am obsessive about knowing everything. After singing this song walking around a shopping mall, I was exhilarated, and it did change my thinking for weeks. In my work, this could be done for a collective process by throwing in something that has nothing to do with anything, but could. It reminds me of David Bowie's random number generator because it sometimes results in a burst of inspiration. You can't use it all the time or people will think you insane. Confounding factor.

  2153. It's not that simple. One could make fun of my claim to suspect that a breakdown of a battlefield on The New Atlas cast doubt on the MSM of what happened in Bucha. I had seem the same earnest young reporter do another of these, track the serial number on two missiles found in different locations as sequential and Ukranian. It's limited, but some analysis can be done using areal photography.

    2
  2156.  @pyotrkropotkin406  It seems likely that you have a better understanding of the injustice system than me. Although I understand your point, it still seems a bit of a stretch to mention President Trump specifically unless there is some documentary evidence connecting him to this case. Many of our current problems can be blamed on the 1%. It seems an overgeneralization to blame every one of them personally for this child sex trafficking.
    2
  2157.  @debrayancey2855 , I think a lot of people feel as we do. I hope that means he doesn't get to weasel out of the trouble he deserves this time.
    2
  2158.  @warrenholly2200  Thanks. I was missing the point that blackmail and/or coercion may be involved and that we will likely never know what happened in a legal sense. Perhaps that is the main point. I was thinking more of the fact that men are sometimes railroaded and that a lot of people are gunning for Trump. It's a problem.

  2159. Once, I had a $100,000 FHA grant on a project with significant environmental implications. Their representative came to all the meetings but didn't make a peep when local politics dismantled the project, and some of the money was shifted to an internal agency money laundering operation. Government is a lot like journalism in that it is what motivates people. Many get into it because of their idealism, but children and mortgages often play a role. Thanks for doing this essential work.

    2
  2164.  @valgehiir I see it differently. I prefer to have all the accurate information I can get on anything that is relevant. If how the Democrats behaved in the lead up to the elections was not newsworthy, what would be? I would not have donated money to the Sanders campaign if I had seen that the primary was a fraud. The news changed my opinion. Isn't that the kind of thing journalists are charged with doing for us? I will never again have faith in the idea that a political party is aligned with my interests because they appear that way on the surface. I think we should change from the two-party system because it seems deliberately structured to not reflect the will of the people. I would rather not be in the dark on these items.

  2169. Patrick that is not what I meant. It takes a lot more effort to come up with structural innovation when one's basic needs are a (food, clothing, shelter, etc.) are a struggle. More of a heroic effort.
    2
  2170. Could be. I suppose also that a methodical person about to become homeless could develop a plan. I could be making this up, but putting up solar panels makes it look like the resident expects some degree of stability. My reaction might be because the homeless encampments I have seen in N. America contain sectors of the mentally ill and substance addled. This makes stable homeless life more difficult for others. Sometimes there are sophisticated structures for ad hoc "self policing" to protect people and their things.
    2
  2171. So true. Without that, you don't have a Westphalian system, Elke Summer.
    2
  2172. There are distinctions in government-funded projects. Under U.S. Constitutional law the long-held test of a public purpose is that it protects the public health, safety and (god help us) welfare. What I think of as public infrastructure fits this measure. This project will likely be turned over to the private sector upon completion. For this reason, it seems the kind of blurring of the role of government that could be considered corruption. Canadian law may be different.

  2187. One mismatch between me and probably anyone would be that, even when I try, I often leave a trail of clutter behind me. When I am busy and thinking about something else, I do not even notice clutter. On the other hand, I am scrupulously clean. Anything that would cause an infection or make a smell, I have no tolerance for. I have varying degrees of clutter lately, but when I was more busy, having weekly or biweekly house cleaners was a big help. This has been the way I live with others and share a space withour conflict. The other four things....mauybe good on, but impossible to know without trying it. At times, I wish I was like the many people who can tolerate sex without involvement (most men and quite a few women). I need to be in a committed, caring relationship or it just would not work for me.

  2190. From Alberta, thank you for this. On the second day of the climate talks, an ad appeared during the nightly news. It was "brought to you by the provincial government," and recommended a link: Keepcanadaworking.ca. In a democracy, how is this a valid role of government?

  2192. I disagree, Colonel Angus. Motherhood bills are the easiest to pass. They are generally nothing but farting in shuffling papers in what they achieve.

  2193. I had not realized that it was so close. Being North American, I don't know how your system works. Based on what I have learned from Mr. Veroufakis, it seems that the administration of the EU is corrupt and exploitive. I can see why some voted for Brexit, but it seems like it will probably create economic hardship for Great Britian. Could there be a referendum?
    2
  2194. This reminds me of what happened in the States, Big Baby. The politics of opposition, where people vote against what they don't want rather than for something they do. This is less likely to result in rational policy. Maybe things going all to hell can pave the way for something better.

  2232. Yes, but that isn't enough to make the change that we need, Paul Granato. Without it, we don't have hope in hell.

  2233. I think the closing of the American frontier must refer to there no longer being a threat by Indians in land disputes. The Homestead Act provided a potential economic fresh start. This is excellent on how some of these systems were put in place.

  2234. The Nord Stream 2 cost over 10 billion Euros, some of which was put up by German energy compaies. She is probably just rattling her cage to appease some interest. It can be difficult to stop an infrastructure project once it is constructed.

  2237. ​ @ArtemMuze  Same here. Not entirely, as they became wealthy when I was a teenager and my immigrant grandparents, who came to the new country with nothing were, by then, middle class. Of my peers, the ones that got new BMWs for their sixteenth birthday did not turn out (on average) to be anyone worth knowing. Some of the others with better values went on to greatness in the arts, commerce or government. In my family, discrediting the poor would have been tangibly us. I think that was excellent, as it kept some from becoming idiots.

  2238. I have the same reaction to people like that, Elisa.
    2
  2239. Ads just appeared on Canadian television suggesting that we do not buy GM products because the company is moving its plants from Canada to Mexico and that we need to build a pipeline so that we can sell our oil to other countries than the States. This is about the amount of time that it would have taken to create those ads after the signing of NAFTA. From this, it looks like other countries are doing economic policy marketing to their citizens. This seems inappropriate in a democracy because many Canadians are against the pipeline for reasons that they find legitimate. The government should produce another ad describing the effect that amount of oil will have on our future even if we are forced to make some economic sacrifices. It would never sell in Alberta, but it would be representative.
    2
  2240.  @gitbint  I don't disagree. I live in Edmonton and wonder how much of this would even be here, were it not for oil. A lot of people are employed in the oil industry. Our economy has been down since the world oil price drop. (World oil prices are controlled by the Saudis.) We are already seeing the consequences of global warming and pretending not to. Massive forest fires, rising sea levels, extreme weather events such as we have never seen before have been on the rise over the past years and science has only recently made definitive links.  All of these things are true. Our news devoted about a minute to the recent Climate Summit in Poland and skipped many of the details. The science is there that global warming will be irreversible and long before that unless we reduce our carbon consumption and that this will result in our extinction. In Alberta, we have the world's third largest proven oil reserve, and we have projected increased sales for the next thirty years. We have a "Climate Leadership Plan" that does not address the fact that we will need to reduce our oil production, and we will at some point when the devastation becomes too great, have no choice. Our government should not be advertising for the pipeline without also adopting a plan to reduce our oil sales at some realistic point. The Federal government paying for the pipeline to get it through in the face of protests in B.C and elsewhere and then failing to address the truth of climate change is short-sighted.

  2242. They are no longer obligations if the contract has been broken, JOHN CHER. Good thing they took the time to figure out what could work.

  2243. I am sorry to hear that, Peter M. Eggers. I have seen Federal EPA and DOT grants used to fund some progressive research. One could argue that it is always politicized; that is how things are accomplished or not. When U.S. environment regulations were set in place, it was in response to public outcry for environmental protection. Now, it does not seem like the government is responsive to the people; It is in many ways closed to us.

  2252.  @z.s.7992  It is great to be appreciated, but every urban planner worth his or her salt doesn't care how people respond. Often we are viewed as annoying nut-cases.

    2
  2283.  @jenkuc1797  Right. Neither do I. I think Ralph Nader had a book about rats reforming Congress, or something like that. Trump was at least metaphorically correct on January 6. If we want a Congress that represents the American people, we need to eject the Congress we have now. If we can't get the election thing down, we could have a lottery and come up with a true random sample, which would represent the opinions of the American people. Not exactly, but sort of. It seems like the best we could do?

  2285.  @deanerhockings-reptilianhu8701  This worries me. I have watched a lot of YouTube in the last five years and learned many things. In this process, my political views have changed. Could this be done deliberately based on my personality? When I think of how the Trump campaign used algorithms to identify some people's neurosis and target ads that were effective in scaring them to vote a certain way, it seems like there are potentials for manufacturing consent or revulsion to control the masses. I may be unduly paranoid. After learning about the surveillance state on YouTube.

There is nothing in place to protect us from another economic disaster like the housing crisis. If the only choice is between Hillary and Donald, I would vote for Hillary if she at least restores this protection. I would not feel happy about it, but which is the worse disaster?

  2290. I would agree with Aristotle, except that if one regards the masses as rude and unlearned does not emphasize that something can be learned by every person and that it is a noble thing to teach other people. Also, the definition of excellence seems narrow. I prefer Taylor's view. I wish that philosophy 101 had gone the extra mile and discussed Taylor with Aristotle. Thanks for doing it here.

  2301. I agree. I was recently looking into insurance for my son...and there is a financial penalty for not having coverage. I suspect that one reason for not having coverage is an inability to afford it. I had no sooner bought insurance than I found out that provider is withdrawing from the market and similar coverage from a different company will be $200 a month more. Somehow, this has worked out to be just a different way for HMO's to squeeze even more money out of people. We have a single payer system here in Canada. It costs less, and everyone is covered.

  2314. Current affairs may inspire people to become journalists. Perhaps everyone should be their own journalist. Jobs, kids, busy lives...most people do not have the daily life space for this as a vocation. We need more objectivity in the media. With some 90% of news outlets in the hands of only a few corporations, this will probably have to come from independents.

  2315. It would be so much easier to just turn on the tv and find credible news and opposing viewpoints to frame thinking. Even if I saw that for one day, it would take me a while to trust it because that is when it would revert. This has probably always been true, but only evident to me recently.

When I worked on forest health, we looked at the possibility that insurance companies would stop underwriting in high danger areas.

  2325. I went to Unitarian chruch for a few years. The philosophy was "avoid dogma and creedalism, study things you are interested in, keep an open heart and mind and draw your own conclusions." I left because it seemed comical to me that some of the people roped themselves off as doing this in the more correct way than other people. In some ways, I wish that there were no such thing as religion, but it does give some people "order out of chaos" that they might not find another way. Also, the Vatican may be the greatest existing repository of art and culture. I am glad somebody did this.

For a long time, it had not occurred how out of whack with reality the MSM was. I am glad for breakthroughs like what free speech we still have on Youtube, and will surely notice if one day I don't see it. Jimmy Dore has a lot of subscribers.

  2345. I don't usually watch Fox News, ardvarkkkkk1. After seeing hearings in Congress from that period, watching this news and reading part of "Clinton Cash" (I have not checked out the footnotes but found it somewhat credible.) it seems an egregious failure of our justice system that nothing has happened. I have the impression that much of our Congress is also "pay to play," and are probably controlled by the same puppetmasters? If the Clintons went down, it would be more than the Clintons that might be changed by it.

  2346. I have anecdotal evidence that has convinced me of these truths. I divorced, changed jobs to a big corporation that wanted me to do unethical things (and quit after 2 weeks), moved, and had a conflict that left me estranged from my sister (who had been one of two best friends for the prior 20 years) and my father died. All of these things happened within 6 months. I started drinking between one or two bottles of red wine a day and continued for 3 years. I withdrew from friends and family. This could have continued, as I made some poor decisions out of a feeling of anomie. Now, five years later...I am back to enjoying an occasional glass of red wine, as I have for the rest of the adult part of my 60-year existence (when my life has been mostly interesting and productive.) Also, thank you for pointing out that the intervention model can be destructive. Friends of a family member once asked me to stage an intervention. The psychologist I consulted told me that I would have to vow to never speak to the loved one again if they backslid. Statistically, most addicts who go through rehab do backslide. I was unwilling. This person died young a few years later, and I have occasionally wondered if I made the correct decision.

  2356. If you are doing OK with your household budget, you sound like a kind person. If not you may want to look at all of your options. Some would advise you to charge fair market value in rents if you are not and look into selling or giving a home to your children. It sounds like you could be getting more income from your rental homes, but if your finances are in good shape, sometimes there are more important considerations than money.The world would be a better place if more people were like you, I think.

  2357. You are passionate on the topic of real estate. I should have said "the going rate for rent." I have been walking around this afternoon wondering what compelled me to respond to that comment. It struck me that this person seemed kind and it depended if they needed the money for themselves.

  2367. The TV news that I saw yesterday claimed that First Nations people had been consulted without going into the details. Perhaps not true? Generally, we Albertans have had oil prosperity for a long time. We are currently experiencing a recession, as our economy fluctuates with world oil prices. Alberta Oilmen had a conference last spring where they paid tribute to our Premier (Racheal Notley) by putting her face on a target and hitting golf balls at it. (I think because she came out with a climate control plan.) It is difficult to generate the will to do the right thing when people are worried about their livelihood and futures. To me, the answer seems in figuring out a different economy that works. We don't have much time.

Without paying much attention, I had always thought that I would have been a Democrat if I could vote. I can not relate to identity politics because I have lost my political identity. (Such as it was.) Maybe I'm a Sophist.

  2402. Either way, the money comes from somewhere or it does not. For me, it is useful to start from a more global perspective. First, define the problem. (if 45,000 people died in America because they did not have access to medical treatment, that seems like a good start (unless your objective is to kill the poor.)) It may be useful to envision what a well-functioning system of health care would do, think about how that would work and research the potential costs and opportunities of several alternatives. Have even your worst enemies involved in the process from beginning to end. Have all the people in the room and agree on something. Everyone may be at least a little unhappy with it. If someone is still very unhappy, they will probably try to come back and mess with things in the future. Going through such a process is (at least) a way to learn quite a bit about something.

  2416. Zenn Exile Agree...except I am not sure about most Native Americans being affluent. I once helped with planning for a casino. The economic projections were that it would generate $100,000 a year for every man, woman and child on the res. 5 years later, it had actually generated much more, yet most of the tribe still lived in some pretty extreme poverty. I have my guess about where the money went.

  2424. I am pleased about this filibuster. My sister walked into a store, bought a gun and killed herself within two days. Most people considering suicide are ambivilent, even in the last moments. Why is it so important to be able to purchase a gun easily and quickly? There is no legitimate purpose for a semi-automatic assault weapon, other than war. Why can someone walk into a store and buy one? How is it that most people want gun control, and the politics for are still so difficult to align? Something is amiss.

Then turned into Brief Interviews with Horrible Men and suggested that she is probably a witch anyway. A woman may not view "You can meet me" as an amorous advance. Your amorous feelings seem more for yourself.
    1
  2429. I agree with you. A side note: You are thinking of Christianity and Islam, I think. The separateness of mind and body is not as big in some eastern religions. Most religions threw in some law and order and survival components in addition to God's will, for good measure. In Islam and Christianity, this was done in a patriarchal way, so it's the separation of mind and body with the women receiving the harsher punishments. (God may have done that too when he came up with childbirth, but this is an event of short duration.) In any case, I agree with you.

  2430. You keep me on my toes, Marcello Lanza. Now I need to learn who Whitehead is.

  2431. The quote makes more sense to me if it is spirituality.
    1
  2432. I hope that you are correct and that people choose the right things. This would have to occur on an individual level. It seems like it could. An example might be that there are some 42 million black people in the States. There would be a lot of influence in politically considered buying choices.

  2433. What are they? Are there commonalities in governance for times we have flourished?

  2434. I am neither an introvert or an extrovert by nature scoring close to the middle of some likely bogus test. I have functioned happily as both, depending on what the situation called for.

  2435. I like your concept of God. The quality of your life seems robust, compared to a hikikomori.

  2436. I am not sure what this has to do with atheism or religion. Paedophilia is wrong because it victimises an innocent child in ways that are psychologically damaging to development. This taboo is fairly universal between cultures.
    1
  2437. I like "This gestalt of nature is incorruptible." It is possible to live a life of quiet desperation outdoors, though.
    1
  2438. I may not mean this in a bad way, how do I know? You sound like a physicist. What the hell does this mean? Sometimes I think, as I am listening to a physicist that I might understand if only they used different words or something. Maybe I wouldn't. Experience is our perception. We can perceive things that do and things that do not happen.

  2442. I do this, too. It is interesting how people will open up and become warmer and more likable just to realize that you see them. I try to appreciate anything that anyone does for me.

  2450. I have seen the definition of a "public purpose" stretched beyond belief. In many cases, this should be tested. Even then, it sometimes does not go as one would think.
    1
  2451. How worrisome is this?
    1
  2452. I don't see why even one Sanders supporter would vote for Clinton after the Democratic Party rigged the game. It would be like..."You tricked me. Duh. OK. That's fine."

  2473. I would at least like the money that I donated to the Bernie Sanders campaign returned to me. I would not have donated if I had known that he did not have a chance regardless of how much support he earned. I want a refund. More importantly, if the suit is successful, the Democrats may not try to pull off a farce of an election like this one again soon. I sit in disbelief that our own government does not see a need to step in and call this for what it is. Orwellian.
    1
  2474. This is hideous. In the historical context of men and wars, it is probably not so unusual. When my sons were young, they viewed the Navy Seals as heroes. I am pretty sure they learned this from a video game. Thank you for speaking out.

  2475. I don't see how this could get the lacklustre coverage as other general newsworthy items on the Clintons have to date. :)

  2478. Sometimes the process of a group like this can be productive even if a consensus is not reached.

  2481. It is less than 37 Million people in Canada, Basil Hinhas.
    1
  2482. You raise some good points. In these cities, it seems likely that it is an immigration wave, especially in Toronto and Vancouver. There was recently a surtax on foreign housing investment enacted in Toronto. People from China have paid high prices in a soaring market fueled by an abundance of Chinese investors. Many of these expensive homes sit empty. Even people who could afford to stay are sometimes tempted to leave for what must seem like a windfall of profit.
    1
  2483. Do you think I would get laughed out of town if I proposed "Canadians for Bernie Sanders?" OK, I have no standing, yet I lived in the states for 30 years, have a home there, a green card and my sons are Americans. I worry. Maybe I will go back for a while and become a citizen so that I can vote.

  2484. The news this last week seems like a bizarre dream to me.

  2485.  @juggernaut316  Or a man.
    1
  2486. What they usually do is play off one city over another for incentives and then abandon the building and move if they get them from the town across the street. It's stupid because the jobs for people they use to sell it are low paying service jobs with little security, XionMarco. The employees can walk across the street though.

  2491.  @Yodadrinkzoda1  I find him illuminating on Jung or Nietzsche, but he leaves little room for the lives of artists and poets in the advice. It seems like he has helped some lost young people.

  2492. Thanks. I hope he does, and that other officers who need this do as well.
    1
  2493. Give me a break! When "W" won, I marvelled that everyone admitted that he did not have the "popular vote." Is all this just OK with us? How is this not an actual crime?

  2499. One speaks English. I have never heard of them. One can't help be intrigued about how they protested Putin. On first glance, I like them. They seem sassy.
    1
  2500. This is a disgrace. The huge numbers of children who cross the border each year are already at risk. A society is judged by how it treats the most vulnerable.
    1
  2501. There were full-time officers and security teams at my sons elementary and high schools in the suburbs. There may have been things not visible to me...I could not see danger at a level that warranted full-time police. I wonder if this also applies to children of Hispanic immigrants, this being over-policed? In my sons Arizona schools some 40% of the students were Hispanic, and I am pretty sure that this has increased since. I still do not understand why the elementary school playground looked like social apartheid. High school was somewhat better.

  2502. That and his perpetual smirk make him super hateable, regardless of what he is actually like, Idle Caption.

  2503.  Fihlippe Luhis  You could be right. In that case, his mannerisms probably didn't do him any good.
    1
  2504.  @Kunosachiaka  That must be awful.
    1
  2505. That poor woman. I wish this had never happened. It does seem like progress that what looks to me like damning evidence was filmed on police cams and released to the news. This is often not the case.
    1
  2506. A priest of science?
    1
  2507. This seems both true and somewhat untrue. In my opinion, many newsworthy stories do not appear on the news, which you mention. This seems like a huge deal to me. I know some excellent reporters.
    1
  2508. Run by people?

  2509. This may be the opposite of hygge. It worsens the quality of life.
    1
  2510. I hope he was gay, Gryffix for the same reasons you mention. This may be a bias of the opposite kind. If he liked sleeping in the same bed as men, it sounds like he may have been. Most of the people I know don't give a second thought to gayness. Here in Canada our top politicians make a point of going in the annual pride parades. This is how things should be.

  2511. Regardless, many view him as an icon, David A.

  2515. I saw him perform this. It was so good.
    1
  2516. This is embarrasing to admit, but I could have signed away my children for all I know. Many otherwise smart people sometimes feel too busy to read those things. I wonder if this could be solved by some kind of a "do not be a horrific creep" clause in the agreement?
    1
  2517. I thought that you were going to say sheep.

  2518. It is also possible to both agree and disagree with this at the same time. I agree with this intellectually, but it is exciting to watch a good hockey game nonetheless.

  2519. Are you sure that you are not just doing it to be popular?
    1
  2520. Being religious or not has little to do with morality.
    1
  2521. OK Judaism, Christianity...but this does not exclude Christianity. The reason I mentioned an eye for an eye is that it is the closest thing I can think of as a penalty clause for human on human crime. We apparently have God's permission to be horrible to people who treat us badly. Do you think that there is a God in Heaven who thought up our ideal moral code and wrote it on stone tablets? I don't see how either is not just something we made up. It sounds like murder and slavery do not fit your concept of "good." Mine either.
    1
  2522. This all makes sense to me, I just don't agree that life is pointless. I have felt that way before. I like the second line. To me, that seems like purpose.
    1
  2523. I remember seeing this on the news. I didn't understand what was happening or how significant it was until recently when I saw it explained in various YouTube videos. This commentary makes it clearer still. This may have been poorly reported because reflects so badly on the US military. Ethan McCord (?) speaking is so effective in this excellent documentary.
    1
  2524. I don't think that is right, Nigel Maund. I believe that many people are oblivious to these things. The rest of us need to tell them.

  2525. You have to admit, Bretton Ferguson, jazz hands are an original response.

  2526. Good point. Isreal did not result in a peaceful solution. What a mess.

  2527. It seems positive that the video of the man being shot taken on a police camera has been released.
    1
  2528. Phoenix would look similar to Las Vegas.

  2529. To me, Senator Sanders meagre measures to regulate Wall Street were important components of a meaningful platform. These are gone. It could still happen if some portion of Democrats care to make it happen.
    1
  2530. This would not work for me, Strategic Thinker I don't even have a poker face, so I am too poor of a liar not to tell the truth (or what I think is the truth) almost always. Also, what I did as a profession would not have been good work if I had not always been as objective and truthful as I could muster. Unless it was a farce. Just as there are "fake scientists", there are planners who lie for political power, wealth and social respect. The results are usually plans hardly worth implementing.
    1
  2531.  @IHLWonk  On a different scale, perhaps. Selling weapons generates income for the weapons companies and their minions. The more war, the more profits.
    1
  2532. Thank you. Glad to hear it.
    1
  2533. Increasingly employees are "temporary, " with no unions, benefits, or job security. The lack of job security makes it all work.

  2534. I don't recall him even mentioning being a descendant of Herman Melville. No grandiosity.
    1
  2535. There must be a point after revenge when trust is no longer possible. If this is not overcome, game over. Participants may later ask themselves, "What was my objective in online dating in the first place?" and "Did I represent my objectives honestly?" The latter is sometimes referred to as the Asswang game. It may have been possible to avoid games altogether by exhibiting compassion at the first misstep. People who try to outdo one another in round after round of revenge may find in it an ancient form of entertainment, but it is unlikely to result in dating.

  2539. The satiric coverage is much better. Also, it would be ridiculously daring to get the facts wrong in satire.
    1
  2540. It would make sense.

  2541. I agree but would prefer if they simply vanished.

  2542. Thank you. I am pleased to see an online course like this, as I have some questions about my own behaviour and that of some people in my family.
    1
  2543. Right, Tim Stahel. But could multiple or strong correlation(s) be used to find out how individuals and groups of people work? Yesterday, I saw a speaker imply that in these big data sets, correlations practically find themselves. Even lead us to surprising knowledge on things we had not imagined. I wonder if this potential was overstated?
    1
  2544. He seems nervous. He does sound like he cares about this. You are right...this same information could have been more compelling.
    1
  2545. In most ways, this seems similar to any authoritarian family. My family of origin was a high demand group. I wonder if it is often the case that someone growing up in such an environment becomes ruthless in their efforts to see their own truths? If so, it would be an upside.
    1
  2546. I suspect that the latter is more reflective. I feel like I have been desensitised by watching thousands of murders acted out on TV as a child. I would feel the same way about seeing a real murder. I would rather not. Also to seeing animals slaughtered, which I was never desensitised to.
    1
  2547. Or my sister, J Guzman. Sorry to hear it. You have my empathy.
    1
  2548. This is a good question for a discussion of "Beyond Good and Evil," Rahell Omer. I am in the middle of this book and am finding it dense reading too. Some paragraphs, I find myself reading several times and something is added to my understanding each time. It is an incredible book.
    1
  2549. Also, being drug-free eating healthy and doing yoga every day is useful. I have been getting a lot read lately, Power to Truth. It is best not to retain information from people who don't maintain a consistent, rational thread from one moment to the next because they are thoughtless and cruel. Don't believe everything you read. Some things, are better forgetten.
    1
  2550. You are correct, Power to Truth.
    1
  2551. This would be valuable if two people were looking one another in the eye to see if they could understand the other, regardless of if they ultimately could or could not.

  2552. So, he reads a particularly insightful sentence and changes it to be more precise and then compares the meaning? That would be a way of honing in thought and using language with precision.
    1
  2553. He may be one of the lunatics.
    1
  2554. Doesn't this deny those people due process compared to other people? Also, "aliens" is an odd term, but the American way. My kids used to tease me because I am an official alien with the card to prove it.
    1
  2555. Based on what I have seen on the news and YouTubeI have thought that what Bradley Manning did was ethically correct. This more detailed account l generates more empathy than the other versions.

  2556. I love the reference to Marlon Perkins. It seems interesting that he, then Jaques Cousteau and then the Crocodile Hunter reflected the philosophy of man's relationship to nature in different decades.

  2560. You may be right. She is beautiful, but she looks like she is scared to move her face.
    1
  2561. This is horrible, and it seems like it may have been a hate crime. On the other hand, New York. Once, a guy seemed to throw a brick at my sister as she passed walking on the street. She thought that it seemed random. You never know when people are messed up.
    1
  2562. Well put, Bertram Hagindash. Are we Puritans?
    1
  2563. Perhaps he will, Tyler Schuler? His viewership has been growing. I believe that if more people saw this, they would watch it too.
    1
  2564. Also, there is something satisfying about saying "piss like a racehorse."

  2565. After seeing this, I absolutely would like to see the show. Quite a "hook."

  2567. This says (to me) that Bernie would change Wall Street. I am pleased that at least Hillary threatens to annoy Wall Street, the more centrist position.

  2568. I am glad that Barrett Brown won an award. "A Visit to the Sweat Lodge" (if that is any example) is so beautifully written.

  2569. If this is a trend, how about one that ends, "He owed me money."
    1
  2570. It seems incredible to me now that I was so easily taken in. Peripheral interest in the news. Other things to do. It probably came to me in three-second sound bytes. "He was careless and endangered lives." Now I understand what this has shown us. It is alarming how easily it could have been missed. It seems that this realisation by many may create a human cry for a media that is not corrupt. Thank you for this interview, Democracy Now.

  2578. That bitch.

  2579. At first, I thought you meant Corbusian superblocks. I like this new approach of retrofitting existing blocks for this by limiting cars. It seems accurate that planners in North American cities have had the greatest success in creating mixed-use, walkable development projects in upscale areas with some affordable housing where mandated. I hope that this approach is successful and spreads. This would take political will. One thing that may encourage the spread of this is that people generally love this kind of a place. These areas are typically vibrant and lend a wonderful quality of chance human interaction that somehow connects people.

  2580. Hear, hear.

  2581. This seems worse than religion in some ways.

  2582. That might be better than religion or opium. I have never lived in a utopian socialist world. Isn't Utopia by definition unattainable?

  2583. :)
    1
  2584. It wasn't an illusion though because someone could show up with nothing, work their ass off and conceivably become a millionaire. This would be difficult to impossible compared to past decades. I hope it doesn't take decades for people to realize how things have changed and take action.
    1
  2585. It is not so much that there is a top 1%. It is more that they have a disproportionate amount of the wealth.
    1
  2586. Good choice.

  2587. Would you point out her location to the Nazis, Arturo Po?
    1
  2588. What a rediculous woman.
    1
  2589. Thank you for this. To me, it seems an important distinction that the actions revealed by Edward Snowden were illegal. Too bad about the espionage act. I hope it gets changed.
    1
  2590. Good point. Someone like Debbie Dooley is more likely to generate change than people talking about the "other side" in respective caucuses. Someone stepping out of the boundaries is often that thing it takes to move policy forward. Thanks for this.
    1
  2591. I don't think Black Lives Matter has quite gotten the word out. An unarmed black person is shot and killed once every nine days in America. White people are also victims of police shootings. I am not sure why I haven't easily come across statistics for this. It seems the thing to do would be to step back, define the problem as people are being shot or mistreated by the police who have important jobs protecting all people that are crazy dangerous and stressful, often without adequate benefits and public support. Study all of these things, and maybe others that become apparent as we go along, get representatives (never perfect) of each stakeholder group at a table and develop some alternative solutions. Like it or not, all these people live in the same cities. Probably the majority of people would like to feel safer. Yes?
    1
  2592. Generally correct. I would not go that far. There are still ambiguities. I think that "some cops hate everybody."

  2595. This seems promising. Couldn't the gerymanderers claim that anything is circumstantial, though?
    1
  2596. "Caress their fears." Good one. Sounds extra creepy, for "going along with what they want because they financed your campaign," John Jancar.
    1
  2597.  @johnjancar6152  "You people?" I don't apologize. Anyone who would come up with a pervy phrase like "caressing their fears" deserves literary criticism. I can't help finding it funny.
    1
  2598.  @johnjancar6152  If you wanted to give someone the full treatment, you could caress their fears and also torture the angels of their better nature.
    1
  2599. We don't know who killed this young man. The combined rewards offered by the police and by Wikileaks total $45,000. This reward money might help the police find the killer and/or know the truth. Whatever it is. How could that be bad?
    1
  2600. That seems correct. @billbixly4332

  2601. I have noticed him doing that before, Paul Hirsh.
    1
  2602. I am pleased to hear of the interest in this work. Once I worked on state planning legislative reform. I said things that I thought might get me booed out of the room. To my surprise, all kinds of people quickly appeared to kelp me. Sometimes many are thinking something, and it comes out in the discussion. It takes people to be willing to be the one who says it first. I hope that this movement takes off. It does seem like there is potential in this moment.

  2603. Do you have evidence of this? I don't know everything this man has ever said and done. I like this.

  2605. I am otherwise occupied doing something of importance to me. If you have any suggestions to offer of something I could do, I will think about it. This seems to suggest going out into the community and speaking to groups, like at high schools. Is there some overall strategic plan? Maybe that is something that I know how to do that might apply. I am not saying "no." My priority right now is looking after my Mom, and her dementia has gotten suddenly worse. I need to have things set up so that I know she will be safe.

  2608. Same here, except without the "h." With a touch of Asperger's. I wish I had understood this before I was an adult. From here, it looks like your brain works exceptionally well. I suspect that for people my age (62) this was usually not diagnosed in childhood, if ever. I am a person, not a pathology...but my life would have been a lot easier if I had understood what was different about me. It was confusing. One adapts. There are some advantages to being able to hyper-focus.

  2612. My office at the Legislature used to be in that building behind the dancers. I am so glad to see this. I have seen the impact of Sheriff Joe on people in Arizona. A few things I have witnessed: Women chain gangs routinely picking up trash amidst the bustling offices of downtown Phoenix. (I used to watch them from my office window.) Women released from his jail in the middle of the night in a dangerous part of town with no money not being allowed to call for a ride and being sexually assaulted by men waiting expectantly. Stable communities of Hispanic working people permanently "chased" from their homes by relentless profiling and sweeps. Part of Arizona's prosperity was built on the backs of denying people citizenship so that they will have no option other than waiting at curbside each day hoping to be picked up as "day labourers." What many people don't see is their poor families in overcrowded living conditions, afraid to complain about slum landlords or call for police or fire protection because of their immigration status. There are a few ironies. The Arizona/Mexico border that has recently become so militarised is only this far north as a result of historic American military conquest. Hispanic people comprise roughly a third of the people of Arizona. I am pretty sure that it is more than a third, but I have only the Census to go on.

  2613. This is impressive. I had not thought of someone like the Pope getting through to people on climate change. There is Debbie Dooley again. I love how she advocates taking partisan politics out of thinking about the environment. Culture Strike seems a genius idea. This could also be used as a model to advocate for economic change.

    1
  2618. No. I apologize for saying that you meet your physical needs with sex workers. It was a (perhaps crazy but effective) proxy for reality, to cushion myself from romantic disappointment. I was never actually thinking that. If you do not want to meet me, I don't care about your sex life. One way of doing that is to imagine it in some mundane form. This would not have been required if you had not spent time over months pretending that you wanted to have a romance with me. I had sexual feelings I suddenly wanted to be rid of. It did the trick. I prefer not to think much about the sex lives of those I will never be involved with. This now includes everyone, apparently.

  2619. There is no Hell. Stop it. I hope that we can resume what I have regarded as a wonderful friendship. This is how it always goes for me.

  2629. Thank you for this, and thank you for including a discussion of suicide. My sister shot herself two years ago. I believe that her crisis might have passed and she might be alive if she had not been able to easily buy a gun in only a few days. I wrote this a year ago and have changed my thinking. She had planned her death for at least a year, and would have found a different way.
    1
  2630. Maybe this is correct. She could have found another way to do it. Looking back, I think that she may have methodically planned her death for up to year. This could be an emotional reaction to the fact that it is difficult to think of her driving her car out into the desert and blowing her head off. This has run through my mind now a thousand times. I do know for certain that I hate guns. On the other hand, why do people often call suicide hot lines right as they are killing themselves? I speculate that they must be feeling ambevilent.
    1
  2631. My sister was not a usual person. After, I realized that there were many guns in her art. I am glad that you mentioned this because, no...I do not actually think she would not have killed herself without a gun at all. It is confusing that I will never understand, can never understand because it is just unknowable. I just realized that I have thrown every vague possibility into the mix, hoping to get around this. This has been an obsfucation. I feel calm with this realization. Two years elapsing has also been helpful. Glad you mentioned this. Thank you.

From "The Case for the Corporate Death Penalty" (2017, available only in digital form on Amazon) "No economy can prosper without a sturdy rule of law applicable to all actors, and granting indulgences to the most powerful in no way serves economic growth and stability."

  2680. I may already be able to do this with meditation, I can turn meaning into abstraction for the time I am doing it. The rest of my life is defined by values I place on things. It gives my existence form and defines what freedom is. You seem to like "freedom" and "happiness". Would if you value these things did if you did not give them meaning? I wonder if this mode of thinking would be useful to someone who had lost the things that were once important to him as in cataclysm and war. It reminds me of the psychological state "disassociation."

  2702. These are some jarring images. I have seen recent incidents reported on Democracy Now. I wonder about the global view for Syrian refugees. What is the scale of the crisis?

I am going to start looking for this information. If anyone knows of something that may point me in the right direction...

  2710. I don't disagree. Wouldn't it be useful to force the use of their tool for our purposes? Regardless of what happens next, I love the idea of asking a question that can be answered, answered with lies, or ignored. I want someone on the record admitting that the US Government illegaly spies on it's on and other people. Or not. No response is a response. This could be useful even for the parts that may have been legal in a convoluted way. I am abstract here. Who knows what would be accomplished in asking this?

  2711. Interesting. It seems that there is some kind of madness (in varying degrees) in every person. Some of my favourite people have a lot of craziness. I do, and I am not a genius. It is sometimes hard for me to think inside the box. In my case, this could also be thought of as a personality type. ENTP in the Meyers-Briggs. I sometimes wonder if I have a slight touch of Aspergers. Is that craziness, or just a different kind of person?

  2717. An interesting example is being tried by a young friend of mine who is starting a coop and sees having a percentage publicly traded as providing the checks and balances.

  2725. Good idea. A high proportion of conflict occurs at borders. How about the adjacent US / Mexican border towns of El Paso and Juarez? In 2000, the bodies of 400 women and girls were found in the desert around Juarez. These crimes went unsolved. From what I have heard, this may have worsened. Along the riverbed at the border crossing is a tall frost fence topped by razor wire. I wonder if the maquiladoras that funded a 2000 "Vision Plan" for Juarez in cahoots with the World Bank are still there? I think that there might have been cheaper labor that drew the profiteers somewhere else. El Paso looks like a city without a soul, lined with strip malls. Juarez has some beautiful old buildings. It must have been lovely at one time. Now it is an unusually violent place.

  2733. A well-maintained home should hold its value for some time. I knew something was screwy when our home in Phoenix tripled in value over a single decade. I somehow would rather be me than the people who bought it, but when we sold was also the time that we needed to purchase new homes in the same market. It crashed a year later. It seems likely that home values will rise to comparable highs in a decade or so. There are legitimate reasons that homes rise or fall in value, like original construction materials, maintenance standards, amenities, new technology, etc.. After adjusting for inflation, and when there is no intrinsic qualitative change in the property, rising values indicate a problem. When things get out of whack, the neoliberal tradition is to sit back, because the occasional market correction is to be expected and will occur naturally. This may have an impact, yet does not take into account that there may be other reasons for price changes. Institutionally and politically supported criminality was the greater factor in the 2008 American mortgage debacle.

  2734. This seems smart. What accomplishes the best result in furthering good policy is sounding like the voice of reason. This is not to say that one should not speak the truth to avoid alienating anyone. Noam Chomsky has a way of sounding sensible because it would be pretty hard to dispute his facts.
    1
  2735. This may be why Noam Chomsky says that he has no use for him. I like that he raises the point that there are likely more causes at work than the one.

  2770. This is not the concept that I had of heavy metal lyrics (which I have never quite listened to). This explains why most of the comments here did not make much sense to me. Those longer lyrics are well written. By who?

  2771. I have a sense of humour, yet I am a 60-year old woman who has never listened to heavy metal. It is an intriguingly worded joke, that I will leave for you and your in crowd. :) I enjoyed reading it, in an abstract way. Thanks for posting. It cracked me up to read it with a pseudo primal screaming poorly-imagined heavy metal voice.

  2775.  @JackLewis2012  He was smart and funny enough to be great but did himself a disservice by becoming a polemicist. I couldn't take him seriously as a journalist after seeing too many examples of exaggeration.

  2776. @1234 abcd This is correct. We could do some good if we were better at strategy? Except we are already in this up to our necks and have made some egregious mistakes. After looking at the chartered mission, I believe that in not removing Turkey or admitting Ukraine seems suspect.
    1
  2777.  @argotcalo5575  Absolutely correct, Argot Calo. It is critical to understand the realities to do that. Not dwell on the past, but to look at the present with fierce honesty. It is challenging to do that without knowing the facts as they exist. Without adequate knowledge of how things are one could be placed in an inappropriate position and act wrongly. I have even heard of someone that this happened to. I hope for that person's sake that they do land in a universe they can believe in.

  2780. That is a good point that people are one category or another even if they fall right around the middle. In thinking about how this applies to me, I took the test 3 different times about a decade apart and got the same results. It may indicate some personality tendencies. I would not rely on it for more than that.
    1
  2781. I don't quite agree. For a flourishing 4th estate, it is important that journalists not be required to reveal their sources. This is one of the foundations of our Constitution. Surpressing freedom of the press is involvement with affecting the election of another country. I am guessing that Julian Assange has more than one internet connection, within the Embassy or elsewhere.
    1
  2782. I may have misspoken in referring to our own Constitution in relation to Wikileaks. Julian Assange is Australian, trapped in the Equadorian Embassy in Britian under threat of extradition to Sweden. The United Nations has declared this detainment a violation of international law. To me, the only relevant thing is the accuracy of the information that Wikileaks has published. Nobody has denied that these documents are as stated. We should take this seriously because there is some damning evidence. Some of it should warrant criminal prosecution. Hillary Clinton did not respond to direct questions on these items in this evening's debate. Does that make the questions go away? Is that the kind of country we want to be? I have lost faith in the prospects for representative government unless people take note of this apparent whitewash and stand for change. I have a sense that many are, and many more will.

  2783. I have ADD (which is an actual thing). I used to take Adderall. It made me anything but compliant, yet overall you have a point. It does have worthwhile uses A small dose might (for example) enable me to pay attention long enough to learn algebra or French (where it can be difficult to understand with even the occasional 5-minute daydream lapse (actually a thought about something more interesting in the moment)). This is not to be discounted as a choice that I like the idea of having. In choosing not to take Adderall...I may start our to clean the kitchen, work 5 hours and realise that I have reorganised the closets instead. In my retirement, I do not mind this.

  2786. Watch your mouth, PickerLee. You raise a good point as I don't know the details of why he went to jail, think of his jolly face in the context of a conversation on a $700 EpiPen (of which I forget the details) and have thought of that face as a poster boy for corporate greed. It seems likely that he is guilty of something, but I don't know exactly what.
    1
  2787.  @mhmhm5337  Correct. Yet if we surveyed people, they hate him for the EpiPen price hike.

  2845.  @nationalistcanuck7800  That is awful in many ways. I once had a boss who came on to me sexually and then spent the next two years making my life a living hell. Not with further sexual harassment, but trying to drive me out of my job as revenge. I didn't file a complaint, as it was the early 90's and I thought it would put a label on me that would impede my career. Things have changed to this other extreme. Over my career, I worked with hundreds of men and often went to lunch with them. It would have impeded my career if they had been afraid to know me. Why can't we all live in peace?

I once heard a Chinese traffic engineer describe greater flows without regulation that work based on "critical mass." Whichever stream has the greater number of cars, bicycles, or people walking will have the "natural" right of way. I have yet to see this work efficiently myself, but he claimed that it could.

  2856. His sentiment is nothing new. Albertans have felt for decades that the rest of Canada takes advantage of us economically. We have the third-largest proven oil reserves in the world. Oil provides our livelihoods and heats our homes. Phasing out the oil sands will end life as we know it in Alberta. At the same time, global warming already has devastating consequences for people in other parts of the world, and we need to change. All of these things are true.

Not that there would be anywhere to effectively lodge a complaint.

I saw a brief ad once to visit the Fort Chipweyan website, but this information might have compelled me to do so to find out what the issues are. I hope that you write about it. The industry should be made to remediate any problems that are caused by the extraction and transport processes. Sadly, even if a link can be proven, it would be impossible to pay enough for giving someone cancer.

  2940.  @zippyparakeet1074  Offered the chance to defect, many wills. In such a situation, wouldn't you?

  2941.  @AdmiralQuality  Maybe. I have a lot of respect for Jeremy Scahill if he is still there.
    1
  2942.  @AdmiralQuality  I haven't followed them. Sorry to hear that. I have read and admired two of Jeremy Scahill's books, though and will always think of them as excellent journalism.

  2943. This limits the potential of the internet. Excellent talk. This is significant, regardless. Can you use a Wikileaks document in a court case? What if I want to sue the government over this. Could those emails be used as evidence?
    1
  2944.  @GeorgiaBoy1961  I hope you are correct. Who are our police? Do we think of them as protection?
    1
  2945.  @mikewade386  Yikes. A whole new spin.

  2946.  @alanmacification  It might have had a decidedly different slant.

  2947.  Les Awkward  That would be such a burden.

  2948.  @curtcoller3632  Fact-checking? The stories they won't touch? A new hyper-documented major network reviewed by independent panels of journalists?

  2957.  @appleslover  Intelligence fusion?

  2958.  @GeorgeCee  Mostly, I have recently heard people talk about who they feel is responsable for this war. You raise an excellent point. This is strategically more important than assigning blame. For anyone with a brain.

  2959. What did she say, Jeff Poehl?

  2960. People who asked, "how is it different" were on the right track, DynamicUnreal.

  2964. Yikes. After reading "The Management of Savagery," that guy makes me cringe. I can imagine how you feel after having written it.
    1
  2965. Seems like a factor, GeoEconomics. Also I imagine that we are nervous about Russia going off the SWIFT system, which would weaken our position as the global currency. China and other countries are most likely rooting for that.

  2968.    In this case, China is the higher power.

  2969. The wall between El Paso and Juarez is like the tall one with razor wire depicted here. An ugly scar on what, under different conditions could be like the Portland River Walk, a shared public space to promote human interaction and a sense of place. It is still extremely dangerous. Sad.

  2970. I first saw her wagging her finger at Wells Fargo and was impressed. I didn't realize her lack of professional ethics, though. I hope everyone finds this as character-revealing as me and don't consider her.

  2977.  @Nick-t9t1s @Nick-t9t1s  Using her platform and speaking out risks her personal security and peace of mind, as many people will react in unpredictable ways, and she will need to be more security-conscious. I have a hard time imagining what life is like for the many people trapped in the hell of war. The world does seem dreadful in many ways. There must be ways we can do better.

  2978. I am glad, The Phenomena. Those sanctions have really hurt the Iranian people.

  2987.  james c  I wonder how the world would have been different if we had read some different books? Even our cultural revelations were standard.
    1
  2988.  james c  It does sound like things have gotten worse. I wasn't being critical of those particular books. It was more than those were the exact set of books I read in high school too.

  2989. Fake news. Fake news.

  2990. I know that, Rolling. I wish I knew the details of what was done.
    1
  2991. Matt Taibi is only getting started on this, and it will likely result in more than tweets. He mentioned censorship in a recent interview.
    1
  2992.  @youtubesucks1499  I'm a retired urban planner. In my street alone, I can point to several sites where a city provided these benefits and tax breaks, then a few years later, they were abandoned for a Wall Mart, collecting these benefits from an adjacent town and leaving an empty store. They don't give benefits to employees and pay low wages, which is another drain on municipal funds. It's a zero sum game.
    1
  2993.  @youtubesucks1499  It isn't, exactly. However, the stress of poverty exacerbates such trends.
    1
  2994.  @youtubesucks1499  The cities and towns are often lured by the promise of sales tax revenues.
    1
  2995.  @youtubesucks1499  My parents are excellent examples of that. Also, one of them had a psychologically adverse childhood. You would never know these things by how they lived their lives.
    1
  2996. Nationalist Canuck, Seymour Hirsh reported this story too. It should have been on the regular news.
    1
  2997.  @kystars  Several years ago, a drunk driver in my city had an accident that killed a four-year-old boy and refused to take a breath test. He got off, but vigilantes later kidnapped him and cut off some of his fingers. He should not have gotten off for killing a boy.
    1
  2998.  @FugueSt4te  Because there is no rubric of a functional system of international justice. These things are easier to change locally on things that impact people personally. In my work as an urban planner, I've seen them with the correct information to get out and force the government to be responsive a few times. Not that that's easy, either.

  2999. What is this world coming to?

  3000. Maybe that is just wishful thinking, steve sterback.

  3001. This is probably a common reason for torture.
    1
  3002. Excellent, Hairtrigger83. It's why Alexander's analyis is crucial. It's funny, though. I only decided to sell my house immdeiately the other day. In the middle of this, which I consider truth, there was an ad about selling houses. I cant even recall how I gave the internet a clue about this. I want this work supported. That's how it works. Insidious, at first.

  3003. You are such a good writer, George Galloway.

  3004.  @BCNeil  The two might be related?
    1
  3005. It may take a while to fully understand what seeing people, not in the immediate household with facial expressions obscured for the first two years of life did to their psychosocial development. A grade four teacher I know recently told me she has kids of the same age at distinctly different reading levels. So we will have to muddle through these things as best we can.

  3006.  @Faye_Liu  It's the code of the west. We like it that way.
    1
  3007. This is the third thing the algorithm has sent me that contains both the words "brothel" and "filthy." Do those two words together generate demographic interest, and amongst whom?

  3008. I wish I could vote for him, @sonjac5941.

  3009. Don't piss him off. He could be very useful in the correct moment  @waynebreivogel1742

  3010. When you put it that way  @uzziake  I will never exactly understand politics.
    1
  3011.  @andrewlilley3660  Because he is so organized. I wouldn't say I like hero worship, but he is an excellent scientist.

  3012. An immediate family member chose suicide, and that is exactly what it was like, she had turned into a robot. She would look at us and speak but it was if, behind her eyes, the same person was no longer there. My condolences to her family.

  3013. It does not seem reasonable that he could be arrested for seeking asylum when he was not charged with a crime.

  3016. !

  3017. Jimmy Dore's comment on this seeming China-esque may not consider that China has raised the most people out of poverty in the last decades than has ever been accomplished in human history. Those who rely on their jobs at MacDonald's and expect to have food and housing often work two jobs these days. My cousin, the teacher, doesn't fault them for sometimes not having books or time to read to their children. Maybe OSHA could develop standards for "will this life create fatalities?"
    1
  3018.  @LorimaRBG  Is that a cryptic comment on German politics?

  3019. It's a duopoly, amulla. The sooner the better.

  3022. I have wondered that same thing, Chris Dietrich.
    1
  3023.  @wz7730  I have no way of assessing if that is correct or not. Anyone who votes to escalate this war should be punched in the face, though.
    1
  3024. I am stunned that Bernie is spouting the Russigate narrative. Aaron Mate has done some excellent reporting on that hoax. Is it some form of self-defence from the DNC? I have always found him to have integrity before.

  3025. And the children. @doloresforino9585. Bless them.

  3028. The General looked sincere when he said that he expects international law to be followed. I wonder if he was? Nobody says that as a "bolstering argument" lately.

  3030. "I feel your pain" indeed goes down in history as cringe-worthy. Great example.

  3032.  @wanebaaijurgen6699  How would they know?
    1
  3033. There is video coverage of White Helmets bullying people? How do juornalists verify these things? It looked real to me.
    1
  3034. I have been diagnosed with ADD and took my online test to a therapist who thought I didn't have ASD. I wish she had looked at the test results and had taken the time to explain why she thought I didn't. I may do the same thing with a different therapist. Thanks for this.
    1
  3035. I don't think that a Dual Citizen can be President, branden burks. It might keep the two countries out of wars if they could, though.

  3036. Perhaps China is protecting her interests.

    1
  3040. This video was beautifully done.

  3041. Radacalize them to care for the sustainability of all citizens? It would be better for the Iranian people than sanctions that take away what they need to live?

  3042. At least we can't hate him and everything he stands for, IdeasOfIceandFire.
    1
  3043.  @blessingjohnchelliah4317  He sounds like a candidate I would endorse. It did not jump out at me from this clip. He could use the interview to get his own talking points out there a bit more. Maybe he should watch Tulsi Gabbard talk about US wars of intervention as a model.
    1
  3044. Can these emails be authenticated? Guliani may welcome that or not? Would he have spoken out if he would not? Time will tell?
    1
  3045. There are some excellent ideas in your comment, Nikola Pilpovic. If you think you can have an economic system that doesn't have a political or moral component, try implementing one. They pop out at you.
    1
  3046. It would be interesting to see the pro forma on how much money this will make over time. To get an idea of the scale of these things, Alberta's GDP is 331.9 billion with about a quarter coming from the energy sector. 4.5 billion is a drop in the bucket.

  3053. These are most likely to fight for survival.
    1
  3054. I agree, Ben Larsen. I once found myself in the States without health insurance. I knew I needed some labwork so went online to check prices. When I said that I wanted a particular lab because they charged less. They sent my tests to a different lab, and I paid half the cost. Although what we have now is not a free market, maybe in some small ways consumers becoming their own advocates could be popularized?
    1
  3055. There are laws against US citizens buying their drugs from Canadian pharmacies, where prices are about half, for example. That is hardly an example of free enterprise.
    1
  3056. How many transexuals are there? Science provides the answer, but why not leave them alone? If there was a "drag queen story hour" for kids at the library, I guess it would have to be one of the most original and brilliant story hours the library had ever had, as the drag queens would really be out to impress. And they aren't usually invited. They should be.

  3059. If you live in the States, kids...fireworks, how would you not? It is one of those things we will always remember, regardless of the standard interpretation. It is worth it just for that.

  3062. I have wondered if the drug that lowered my heart rate that is making my heart pound going off, was thought of by the Pharmecutical industry, and if it could have been avoided.

  3065. @Jusmeeeeee Trash media.
    1
  3066.  @MrFrinZy  Probably.
    1
  3067. I wonder if any of them are related to the toung Phillipino gig workers who staff our Alberta home health care workers. I don't think they are nurses, but they were fast, kind and hard workers. One in particulat was lovely and kind to us? Maybe she saw us just as a person? As my mum and I see her>.

  3068. Why did we have to? Were we being somehow blackmailed or coerced? What are US trade agreements to us?

  3069. I wish that didn't remind me of, "Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage." I speak for myself here, but if I feel that way. It must serve a purpose.

  3074. Aaaaaaahhhh. Crappy time to lose my audio.

  3075. Mind blown. In a horrifying way. I did not know that NATO was planning on expanding further which seems insane. It sure doesn't represent me.

  3076. How did they not see this from the start, though? Did it seem that it would not become real?
    1
  3077. If this is true, based on the evidence, he should be locked up. Even if it isn't, he would be the Presidential candidate who voted for the repeal of Glass-Steagall and who initiated the Patriot Act. I won't vote for him.

  3078. Might help and can't hurt, Hillbilly Liberal. I will, too.

  3091. A part of me agrees with you, B Smith. I would have been angry if I had been on that train to the Superbowl with a ticket. This is different. (Maybe because I saw the not specifically related video on the Baltimore Police yesterday.) I'm am afraid that we are turning into a facist state.

  3099. These automated human supervision systems do seem to take the humanity out of work. I recently had a DHL driver trick the system so that he could wait less than three minutes for my letter that had to be delivered the next day. The legal concept "right to work" is based on how much time things would take if every job were done as well as possible, which would add a lot of costs. Balance is somewhere in between.

  3100. We can't quantify chaos, Tony Person. We can study it. I don't agree on some of his conclusions, but he does present a pretty good snapshot of our politics.

  3113. Available in audiobook too, Tim Mullen.
    1
  3114. It's similar to the regional government in that the little ones are less pinned down by the powers that be because nobody expects that they can do much damage. I heard the most truths from them or those already 100% developed, so out of the game. If you want an urban planning analogy. It seems the same.
    1
  3115. Same here, Luke Roman. The gist of this is more about poverty and the State response.

  3165.  @Joseph-uv2ud  It would make you spatial, but you probably found another path to that through your natural inclination. I was sucked right in, and the parts of it that were geopolitical did not seem like work, as they were so exciting. Maybe everyone who hits the right major feels that way? It is often surprising and informative to throw data on a map. It made me decide to be an urban planner, and I did that for thirty exciting years. Everything has a spatial component. People do it for different reasons, social, environmental or economic. Learning the social geography of a city, then designing different elements that promote improvement that will integrate them to create opportunities for people, then getting the ideas through the political process and eventually seeing them implemented can be very rewarding.

  3181. Planners can only do what is not precluded by state enabling legislation, which is often subverted by business interests. People often do not want to face reality. I once lost my job because I hired a consultant to do a regional open space plan and the mapped topography of hillsides and floodplains resembled an "urban growth boundary." (I had no idea in advance, these were just the physical features.) This frightened the homebuilders, even though I took the politically neutral stance "There has to be some standard for an area that should not be developed", without recommending a standard.
    1
  3182. Every state has disaster management plans that are done with varying degrees of participation by the military and local governments. You raise a good point. In the case of forest fires, for example there is no precedent for the damage caused by extended draught and bark beetles. There are miles of areas of dead or sick forest which are measured annually with infrared photography. The situation has gotten much worse in recent decades. These are poised to go up like tinderboxes. This was not thought of when people built homes in the forest because it had not occurred to anyone as something that might happen. It is likely that people who wanted a house in the woods would disbelieve and ignore a warning from planners for something they had never heard of or experienced. A local fire department has a few fire trucks, there is no fast capability to fight a hundred house fires at once. Often it takes repeated disasters for people to realise the consequences of their incredulity. Then the legislation and planning can change quickly, even though it is still opposed by any lobby that has been making money with the status quo.

  3188. From the latest "Harpers," We were involved in the 2009 removal of democratically-elected Honduran President Manuel Zelaya. Wikileaks released a classified cable where our own ambassador called the removal an illegal coup. Hillary's 2014 book revealed her strategy of holding elections quickly to "render the question of Zelaya moot." She thought twice, and the statement and removed it by the time the paperback came out. She gets some things, crooked Hillary.

  3222.  @tonyrmathis  People on YouTube have been putting words in my mouth that I would never think. Ben Carson? I am a dual citizen, but I live in Canada, and although our system is flawed, I am convinced that it makes Canada a better country for its citizens. We have longer specialist wait times, but everyone can visit a doctor. Anyone who wants a flu shot gets one. It costs about half per capita, as the US system is based on powerful lobbying HMOs.
    1
  3223.  @tonyrmathis  I am fine with not being trusted by you. I won't lie that I know of but am sometimes wrong. I have lived half my life in each country and base my thinking on what I have observed. Fewer working people have benefits of any kind in both countries, but I will stand by finding our socialized medicine better. Most Canadians consider it one of our top achievements. I wonder if you have visited a big-city county hospital emergency waiting room in the States lately? It might modify your thinking.
    1
  3224.  @tonyrmathis I was more thinking of people working more than one job to support their families and living below the poverty level. We are imagining different people as patients. It seems likely that there is some truth in both of our thinking.

  3227.  @tonyrmathis I am not a liar. You are an oddly confrontational person. I am tempted to say, "You prove it," but we could both do research, write essays and still disagree. I don't think of myself as a "liberal," though. In my career as an urban planner in Phoenix, I saw a lot of needless poverty and the effects it had on people. It's not quantitative, but those impressions will be with me forever. If you saw what I may have been inarticulate in describing, you might understand my position of preferring a social safety net.
    1
  3228.  @tonyrmathis I get the impression that you are responding more to your ideas on these things than to me, as this is not how I think. I care about government accountability and am not wishing for more mediocrity in the world. Maybe the difference in our thinking is that I believe that the very wealthy should not control and pillage our economy as they do. Changing that would not likely impact your quality of life.
    1
  3229.  @tonyrmathis I do my best to never turn a blind eye; I am not a leftist or a partisan. I blame public apathy and the loss of real journalism to ignite people more than the wealthy. I don't think it would have been either a leftist or rightist policy to allow banks to lend money to people for mortgages they could not realistically afford. I did not say that all deregulation is bad, but I am glad that we have the Environmental Protection Agency (such as it is). What do you think about global warming?
    1
  3230.  @tonyrmathis The only difference between us might be semantic. You think of them as "the left." I think of them as "corporatist oligarchs." These terms are about as useful as "idiots run amok." We both see it as a globalist agenda. Of all these things, overpopulation may be the real Moriarity. We should be collectively smart enough to solve these problems, yet somehow we are not. When I say "we," I lack the imagination to see how I can make the world a more peaceful place and put us back in accord with nature. I wish to be different and suspect that the way I feel must represent the common man.
    1
  3231.  @tonyrmathis I meant politicians controlled by oligarchs. Governments can be different but tend not to be. My problem with the term "leftist" is that the way we think of it has changed. I used to think of myself as one and thought of it as interchangeable with "humanist." Excellent comment. At first, I thought you were a crackpot. Do you have ideas on how to change things for the better?
    1
  3232.  @tonyrmathis  I thought "crackpot" because people on welfare who don't want to work may offend your ethic, but are such a small part of the overall problem as to be insignificant.

  3246.  @Kit-se3zs  Thank you. I missed it. I just found something from the University of Edinburgh that estimated global deaths from "influenza" (which must be generalized to some average of typical strains) at 2%, so it may or may not be more virulent than average. If it has a similar mortality rate to the Spanish Flu, which is close to that of most cases of flu circulating the globe today, I wonder if it indicates that we have advanced our treatment options since that pandemic. What did cutting that program mean? Was it one guy or a whole department? What did he or they do? It sounds like the scary part is that we don't know yet and should have been more on top of it, and there is a chance that we can attribute that to Donald Trump?.
    1
  3247.  @jansonshine9082  I wonder how many were elderly? Vaccines help in some number of cases depending on how closely that year's vaccine matches the cases of flu that take hold. There is a big difference between two and four percent. It sounds as if we don't know the statistic yet?

Given all the other allegations with few consequences, I have been thinking about how blackmail, coercion and/or bribery would influence victims and shield these hateful men. I may have criticized some news on this as being too vague for me to find credible. I am only learning that a journalist may know facts and have professional reasons not to disclose.

It seems likely that only a few news companies have corporate policies, and those eager young reporters are often sidetracked by mortgages and children to support.

  3340. Excellent! I did my scientific best as a planner to understand the housing market before I wrote my article. That turned out to be wrong, because only one economist of the top ones was telling the truth. Dean Baker. I am not an economist, so a consensus representing economists revealed in my research. They were, in a sense, lying. People need to hear it at a grade six reading level, so that it is widely understood. Whow would a troop of people working on this and thinkiing in a reality based way.

  3343. Richard Monroe, You are correct. This would impact some places more than others. I live in Alberta where vast numbers are in denial about what it means for us to expand our oil production because they need the jobs. There was a protest at our Legislature on the first day of the summit in Poland, but it was three "protesters" with bags containing 7,000 identical printed letters of support for getting the pipeline through. Small, but that was it. There were no opposing marchers, at least that arrived on the news. We have a provincial "Climate Leadership Plan" that will provide us with rebates for energy efficient light bulbs and a carbon tax. The plan is silent on the environmental devastation of the tar sands. Maybe economies will become more local and change in other ways. There are a lot of things that we don't need in the marketplace. We spend energy producing things that people don't need. The FIRE sectors seem not to build anything and perpetuate the system that we have.

  3357. ​ @pixelside  Once in a while, that's called for. The APA COde of ethics leaves room for some original thinking. There is the consensus that is written at meetings and quite a bit of "wiggle room" in how the planner could (as a thought experiment) could write up the facts, and come up with many alternate different "findings and recommendations." My dad always told me "bullshit baffles brains." He didn't mean lying, but there are a lot of presentations one could do. Like that model. The information was correct and we knew it without a model, but the model convinced the DVV Planning Committee by using a model that they didn't understand but assumed that Leslie and I did. The PD could have saved a lot of money by just doing a fake model (as a thought experiment), but there were always those few intellectuals watching. Mistakes like that can be quantified.

I can't think of a better example of something that should be made available to any scientist doing research. The rest of what was stolen was left somewhat fuzzy. There were two criminals mentioned, and the implication was that they represent "China." Maybe they do. Many people will likely accept this as a news story, but there are a lot of missing details. Our President has been trying to turn us against China for a while now.

  3379. Through much of human history, excluding wartime, desease or famine (which probably generates different statistice) people often had as many children as they could for survival. As Darwin noted the instructions for? Some of them died, but maybe some lived to promote a greater chance of economic stability to ward off factors like "starving," or having the young girls hide in the woodbox until the approaching hoofbeats had left. YOu play the odds and will accept higher risk as your longshot at family survival Its the selfish gene that makes us do it?

  3439. I always learn from these but found this one especially illuminating. China is planning to invest in China with its silk road initiative. From the wording in the introduction to their plan for Africa, they will do it to free the continent from colonial interests. If that is their real intention, it could free Africans from France. (It seems doubtful that America would state such a plan.) For me, this puts a new spin on that and on the attitude many in France have toward African migrants. This is the best channel on geopolitics I have seen. Thanks for filling in my knowledge of how the world works.

  3464. You say "probably." I wonder what the ratio of natural v anthropogenic is? It is true that we face a cataclysmic threat and that our contribution is exponentially increasing with population and economic changes that bring more oil consumption and meat production. Are natural increases static or on the rise? My guess is that there has been no big change in natural sources, but I might be wrong. I hope we find a solution.

When Jane Fonda came here to protest the Tarsands, it was impossible to tell what she did not like about them. It seems likely that she would have stated her position in the interview. If she did, we heard a different clip. I have thought in the past that it was being kept from us. Our news is sponsored by the government. They did report the recent protests, so I live in hope.

  3487.  @jonathancale2545  That's nutty. I was just online trying to figure out which is correct. I can verify that I found this, "Sept. 22, 2014: Obama launches a U.S. air campaign against the Islamic State in Syria, one month after launching airstrikes in neighboring Iraq. To date, the U.S.-led coalition has launched airstrikes on at least 17,000 locations in Syria since the start of the operation." Are you thinking that the Syrian government approved?

  3498. Ben Shapiro raises some good points, yet may discredit his argument by putting words in the mouth of the left. I recently left the left, and have never thought "all that matters is equality of outcome." I have believed that the thing that matters is that anyone willing to work hard can have viable opportunity to find a better life. There is a lot of evidence that generations of people who do not see opportunities to improve their lives or create a socially viable future for their children are likely to give up and turn to crime. Why wouldn't they? In a perfect world, we would have equality of opportunity. As those born with a leg up will always have greater opportunities this will never be. I think we need to fight hard to keep things like a chance to get an education and a way to physically transport oneself to a job viable for anyone, so that nobody is cast as an untouchable by birth. It is difficult to argue that the possibility for anyone to advance through initiative and hard work has not eroded dramatically during the past few decades. We need to preserve at least the slivers of opportunity or we will pay social consequences, even if the slums are ten miles away and we never see or think about "those people."

  3593. If you are referring to my "Why have a constitution?" comment, what I meant was that the Constitution (if we lived up to it) is brilliant. It requires thought to interpret.

  3607. "The science media center?" Facts? Doesn't sound like it. The irony if you listen to his man, who sounds very credible to me. I want to hear what everyone really believes. I am not sure that I didn't make one minor error or another, but I am willing that any planner asked to do this would come up with a different method. Some of them would be excellent, so me not. Some would have been liars, though. We would have at least proven what was correct subjectively though. Look at the source data get everyone in a room and talk about how to do it. Logic will usually sin in that discussion, but they will lie to you about what they believe. And give you bad projections that were no accident. This is excellent and does not surprise. Our models helped us to understand these things only if everyone tells the truth like a scientist. They are only a theoretical construct. Why do it if you don't put in real data? You can calibrate assumptions, but not facts. Challenging the assumptions would have been revealing in the projections model to begin with, as it sometimes reveals through both covert and overt lies. With an adequate peer review process this may not have happened. Let me guess. They pretend to have one?

I am against animal cruelty and the environmental costs. I may eventually become a vegetarian, with grass-fed organic cheese made from raw milk as my only remaining animal product.

A man who is upset years later that his wife cheated on him does not seem a polyamorourist. after taking a break and then saying of another woman who says "No. No. No. No. No." in thinking of a woman getting with another man who calls himself a polyamorous is ridiculous. For some perplexing reason, he even claimed to be a Christian. This is a man who has extrinsic values only loves himself. I hope people who think this way find each other and knock themselves out. Please be upfront about who you are from the outset, though. To me, it seems like this kind of a man or a woman who sleeps with both the father and the son do it to create drama and then imagine that the drama is a testament to their hotness.

  3711. As a thought experiment, if we had a functional system of international law that included everyone and had penalty clauses, even if these areas would have voted to join Russia before the conflict, might a desperate interest in stopping the conflict be interpreted as coercion? However, with the Ukrainian government under Zelinsky, these people are not under the protection that should a given in a sovereign nation, so that is a likely incentive.

  3755. I am an American and Canadian retiree who has spent the last several years reading and watching geopolitical videos on Youtube. If there is one positive thing we can do for the future it is to humiliate and (especially) get rid of the United Nations. A good news show might be interviewing all the United Nations representatives on their experiences on how the United Nations functions. I recommend reading "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics" first. I used to be a planner in a regional government, and cities function about the same as countries. Once you see it, it can be corrected in some way where the weaker countries (global south) are not being held hostage by both their interest in survival and the existence of the regional government (UN). The regional government has to give them just enough to get them to the table, but it's sad compared to what it could be. I am no journalist, but to me the critical item in this story is that people were killed.

It seems unlikely that the plane would have been shot down if we had not killed Soleimani and put Iran on high alert for war.

  3776.  @johnkesich8696  I have, along with some supplemental reading of Stephen Cohen and John Meirsheimer. Additionally, I watch independant news channels and cross-reference them. I recommend a channel called "The New Atlas," (a young former marine who methodically explains his interpretations of battlefield scenes we have been seeing on MSM, Scott Ritter, former UN weapons inspector, Ben Norton and Chris Hedges. It's all there for anyone who looks. Aaron Mate, who used to work at this channel is also excellent.

  3777. Politics ruins everything. I watched Robert Reich tell us how the economy could be fixed as a part of the run-up to the 2016 election. He made sense to me. I still believe that if we put back a system of law and order capitalism could work for everybody. I grew up in the fifties and sixties when it seemed to, without being an economist, it seems possible. When Bernie was out of the running, Dr. Reich suggested that we vote for Hillary. It made me question his credibility. The Democrats would rather have things as they are now.

  3814. This reminds me of the 1989 film "Weekend at Bernie's." At 68, I followed Ralph Nader's advice to determine what Medicare without a supplement would get me. I haven't reached a conclusion yet. If I were poor, I would be in trouble with all the $23 expenses I have to pay because they are not covered, but I wonder if I am still covered for more things than I would be if I added one of the federally encouraged HMOs. I am running out of cash and can quickly get a reverse mortgage where I can live about as I have for six years, and some company in California will get anything left when I die instead of my kids. There is a $19,000 buy-in fee, probably put in place by these geezers and that company. It doesn't seem to be in the interest of the people. It isn't what the government is supposed to be. What if we pool our resources and start old people communes, except without becoming hippies? Help! Help!

  3847. You are correct, C Dream. Well put. I frequently annoy my American sons with these kind of truths. It is only to be expected that much of the world fears and hates America. I am dismayed that my country (Canada) ignored the treaty to ban nuclear proliferation signed at the UN this week.

  3848. There is the appearance of the real debate. I wish to see Congress have a discussion of the life-altering positive things Americans would have had if the money had not been spent on war.

  3887.  @Will_Moffett  They fall short on being an "establishment mouthpiece" by also doing excellent journalism that nobody else does. A few days ago, they reported aggression on Palestine, which is good to keep our eyes on even with a war in Ukraine. I don't know if anyone else is doing that. I wonder if it's a philisophical difference? If I believed that we could stop mass suffering while increasing the GDP, it might be worth a fib or two. Except when you look at the results of all the times we have done that (corruption and death), it is not worth the massive suffering it has caused.
    1
  3888.  @philmitchell91  I am easy to make fun of on this, but suggesting that we did one thing that might have been provocative to Russia is more than I have seen on MSM and (before now) on DN. Russians are falsely portrayed as sadistic bullies who are too barberic to obey even the basic rules of war and bury their victims in mass graves. We do this to dehumanize them as scapegoats. I trust the Grayzone. Yesterday, they had a reporter on the ground documenting the Russians operating in accordance with the Geneva Convention in burying bodies individually. It was jarring and credible.

  3913.  @AhmetHabsa  There must have been a first mover. It seems plausible that it could be god. I feel the same, and I don't mean to be strident, but that's my conclusion. What is god? We can't know, but we can choose to believe. I can't get past my logic. There is something that puts me in a state of awe.
    1
  3914. Some religions see God as a benevolent father, and others see him as indifferent to us. The logic is trickier here, as they can't both be wrong or right, as far as we know. That wouldn't preclude one from giving herself to God, except it's difficult to have an expectation. It doesn't hurt to do my best to be good, and under the latter, God might be about to throw me off a cliff regardless. So, it would be a stoic acceptance of fate.

It will likely involve trying many things to observe the result of each. Some will fail, yet this is the way to find openings that can lead changes nobody thought possible. It is often human nature to be stoic about things that could be changed because we do not see a way. I admire the stoics, but this is more a time to think about Nietzsche.

  3958.  @benwilson1088  Planners in Phoenix often recommend natural desert landscaping. An important feature is that if the natural washes are preserved, desert washes can remain corridors for wildlife to sometimes coexist well with development. It's a small portion of the development costs. Sometimes developers prefer the bottom line, but there are negative externalities. If planners make too many demands in this arena, it can negatively impact housing affordability. It's always a trade-off.

  3985.  @ba94845  I once worked with a team of scientists and firefighters to develop recommendations to improve forest health in Arizona. Making homes safe in this way will increase their odds of making it through a fire, but it doesn't solve the problem. Local fire departments are equipped to put out one or a few house fires at a time but have no way of fighting a hundred or more fires at once. Our forests are in abysmal health as a result of historic grazing and forest management out, extended drought and bark beetles. An easy way to recognize a forest in this state is that it will have a lot of spindly trees close together. In a healthy forest, there will be trees of various ages with some space in between. The scale of this problem is monitored with infrared areal photography, and each year there are more dead trees. As a result, we see more significant fires of a hundred acres or more. These forests need to be thinned and restored to health, but the more significant problem may be linked to global warming.

If I ever see that guy in person, point him out to me. Also here is a tip to younger women from an elder. In that situation, if he then asks you your name, try saying, "Breasts, but my friends call me boobs." Oh, wait. Forget it. Then, oddly you could become the one in trouble.

  4048.  @dashx1103  Funny, I was able to access the Minneapolis Police Code online shortly after the killing, and now find that I can't. If that was a response to the riots, it seems like a critical mistake of governance. The code references one of the other black men killed by police in recent years. I believe it might have been Eric Garner, and I was trying to go back to check what the code says, precisely. I thought, in my cursory skimming, that putting that in a police code might have been a token action instead of doing nothing about these crimes, and might be useful now from a legal perspective.

On the other hand, I once saw him say something to the effect of "women who wear makeup are "asking for it."" He is a clinical psychologist and not a climate scientist.

  4112. What is unethical about using this information to target potential voters? It is new because of the advent of the internet and social media applications. A candidate would have an advantage over one that did not use these methods. Doing something that the other side did not think of is not unethical in competition. There are ways that this could be unethical. None of the things their "associates," which sound unethical do for them are new to politics.

  4115. I had not thought of it that way, PB S. I have just been schooled. Thank you. My first thoughts were that the court sketch artist is not there to see that justice is made. They create these sketches to portray these events to a curious public. The court should not be influenced by public opinion. On the other hand, journalism that looks for tears is clearly corrupt. Even if the sketch artist attempted to be a realist, there would be the potential of an added filter of their own bias. The journalist code of ethics requires that coverage be "fair and comprehensive." This raises a different question. Why aren't cameras allowed in the courtroom to provide a documentary record? There must be a prevailing interpretation of the Constitution that allows this to happen.

Watch out that you don't have a prepayment penalty, though. If I had to guess the 1% the first year and somewhat low rates for at least the first few years is a result of government regulation. If you don't get that, your government may be less helpful than mine on this.

Because it is impossible to build chaos into a model and it exists in the world. By nature. I wish the general plan updates were handled a tad differently? It isn't even a useful thought experiment if we go out too far or don't really bse it on existing conditions. It then becomes a Potemkin Village.

  4150. My sister easily bought a gun, then drove out into the desert and shot herself in the head a few days later. At first I blamed how easy it is to buy a gun. Later, on reflection, I realised that she had been planning her suicide for at least a year. If she had not purchased a gun easily, she would have found a different way. I wish that fewer people had guns, but it would be difficult to retract now. I have read that there are more than two guns per person in the US. We may not like gun culture, but it now seems like a given.

Instead, I walked away with one that implied on the cover that I am the kind of a person who would rather take a zip line over a gorge. I wonder if I fooled anyone?

It can be difficult to see their motivation or what they get out of it.

If they are like Arizona, there will be a disaster mitigation plan concieved by at team of experts and already in place.

In their oblivion, they were complicit, but there is no hope unless those people teach others the horrors that have been done in their names. No person with humanity could see these things and continue. Either that or somehow nuke them off the face of the earth. The problem is, they have the biggest nukes.

  4273. "We don't see the need to do that at this time?" Screwy that there is a state law that overrides a Federal law, when States get their power from the state. How was that Constitutional? A Texas thing?

  4275.  @insomniacresurrected1000  Thanks for correcting my spelling my mistake. My grandfather surely had relatives affected and I have never heard of them. He wouldn't ever talk about his family to his family in the "New Country." I recently read "Read Famine" by Anne Appelbaum, and wondered how many of us may never know horrific things that happened in our family histories because of relatives who wanted to shelter us from harsh truths.

Are therre additional complications when those having the conflict are in two separate legal systems under soverign jurisdictions? Is there an objective system of international justice on issues like this? This is more important than one story that these supposed journalists are trying to surpress? It may be one of the biggest stories of the decade, if we hear it so we sure had better?

  4308. That's incorrect, FeralSpirit. I have slipped in and out of it and had relatives who were psychopaths. I had narcissists in my family of origin, and I learned to love them without getting hurt. The times when I was one were some of my most productive periods. Having seen both sides. It's excellent, right?

  4309.  @plwpahi  I lost respect for a different reason. I once saw him crying his way through an episode.

  4313. That's what I said before hearing Seymour Hirsch's story. This is the strongest statement you can make but isn't he iconic by reputation and accuracy on critical stories that tell a counter-narrative? I have difficulty taking you at face value after I stopped watching Democracy Now over misinformation several years ago. President Biden said we would do what it took to get rid of the pipeline at the podium on TV. I'd like to see some independent engineering reports on these theories, or how will I know you are not the ones presenting disinformation? What about the independent study the British parliament accidentally voted to do? Do you know if it ever happened?

  4325. @Wheat Water & Fire That sounds like the only antidote to the VERY BIG carrot that we have now. It has been my experience that often, no other options do present themselves. From my training, it is useful to have a plan b,c,d, and e. It does seem like economic security has become uncertain to so many people, and this is a sharp contrast to our "upward and onward" expectations (which were validated after WWII through the sixties) that we might make the dramatic change that is needed. The 2016 Bernie campaign indicates that potential. I have had my fingers crossed ever since then.

  4366.  @boko-u8k  It's both. When I was little, I sometimes spent hours taming squirrels, so they would come up and sit on my hands to eat nuts. It involved a lot of sitting very quietly and still. I don't know if establishing relationships with squirrels is good, but it was enjoyable. It took a fondness for squirrels.

  4367.  @boko-u8k  I am as realistic as you. It wasn't that. I am sure the squirrels were in it for the nuts. I was so young I had never heard of Disney, but I was in awe of them. I remember those afternoons 63 years later.

It's a short-term strategy and seems likely to backfire. He is acting as if there is no tomorrow. Other countries will soon have more of choice not to play along with American global domination. Let's face it; We break our contracts and have made the concept of international law a farce. There must be better business partners.

  4372. We can blame the BBC, but maybe the public really is too dumb and disinterested.

  4415. If I remember correctly, Columbus has an at-large school funding formula, so at least you can build a case for all school infrastructure and service standards to be equal. In theory. Must some schools be better? Or would that thinking drive down all performance standards? Here, I am thinking of Arizona. The funding formulas have since changed, but when schools were funded by commercial revenues within the district, there was an elementary school without a working sewer system or a library. This is bad, but it could be even worse, I think.

  4490.  Strelok  Perhaps I am retired after a thirty-year career (which, sadly contained years where I did nothing but work) and looking after my dying mother, who has dementia. A lot of the second is in being around. Sometimes I have used weed as an escape. I could and would easily quit if I had compelling work again. I am retired from urban planning and have not figured out the next thing I will do. I study a lot, as that is my nature. As a self-help worker, you may want to be more reflective on where your victim is in life. I feel lucky to have what I need and don't think that I deserve something different from what I have. I was never very greedy, and I indeed think of people with superficial, materialistic values as unimportant.

  4509. I think it was Jeremy Bentham who developed the concept, and John Stuart Mill who named it. I also thought that OP was a dick for saying that. To develop compassion is not weakness. If morality comes from within as an honest effort in scientific thought, it is a strength. This is hard to do without being sure that there is not self-delusion, but it is essential and worthwhile.

The modern "left" is nothing like that.

  4531.  @frankrosemeck9898  No, it doesn't. I use the word "equity" as aspirational. I worked in government and made a point to treat everyone who walked in the door with the same care. It often created a path to a "fighting chance." In knowing them, they were the ones I felt best about helping, as they had a lot going against them
    1
  4532.  @frankrosemeck9898  It was. I became frustrated with how hard it is to make these changes. Politics and economics against them are so entrenched. In general, young Turks are young. It takes "fire in the gut." I still think of my career as rewarding. It's funny in human nature that the young think they are being innovative and creative, which is intellectually sexy. There is usually an old man in the back corner who surprises everyone by having tried something similar with mixed results. Planning isn't science, as there are no controls.

  4536.  @lastfirst3659  I'm pretty sure a university has heard of the dictionary. Their definition seems flawed, unless there are unlimited resources. When I look at their mission statement, I would be curious to see how they implement it. If it's motherhood to appease some segment, it is one that does not care so much about excellence, or they Also for educational attainment. My son's elementary school let anyone who wanted on the basketball team and lost to other teams all over town. These problems are not solved merely by throwing money at them. How would we calibrate the needs of each student as we should? Like it or not, the greatest predictor of academic achievement is family income. When I think of my family, who came to Canada as immigrants, they worked their asses off and defied the odds. They became strong, had character and ambition. I admire them for becoming that way by overcoming obstacles. It is a different world that we live in today.

  4537.  @monotech20.14  I doubt that Dore is anti free speech. Editing a show to support its thesis is not the same thing as censorship. If I had a show, I might include some debates, but people should cross-check multiple sources to form conclusions.

I think I had better get someone else to talk to them instead of me, because I have a hard time holding myself in when I am mad, expecially when I believe I am right.

  4552. What I meant by "coin toss" is that in the poem the decision is not clear as he ponders it. There is no evidence that one will bring more happiness. I have chosen the road less travelled before and probably will again, as it was one of the best things I have ever done. This is not for everyone. There are often both rewards and consequences. For many people, security is more important. Some are heard animals and lack the inclination. There is nothing wrong in that.

  4559. He is correct on local news. It should be calibrated to the correct degree of "local." When I first moved to Phoenix, there were several young men shot and killed in south and west Phoenix every day. Mostly young black and Hispanic young men shooting each other. After the paper shifted to a more specific local section, I could easily have believed that all of Phoenix was just like the Princess resort. It isn't.

It made me think of a speaker I heard yesterday who mentioned that conditions have been steadily improving for many people in poverty over the last several years as more areas get electricity. From here, it is difficult to have a concept of what that might mean to someone because I lack an image of what daily life is now. Looking at parts of this, I could imagine.

  4578. See the Geneva Convention. There is usually a lot of crime in war. It is the responsibility of the military to keep the more base tendencies in check. This will be challenging at times. What is worrisome about this video is that the language and actions of the shooters reveal a culture of total disregard. When a war is a unilateral action based on a hoax, this takes on an even worse context.

  4584. I wonder if this is a made-up story? It sounds as if Nuland left the details fuzzy. Given the timing and the source, it seems suspect. She may be tapping into the psychology of starting a war, which establishes an "us" and "them" that we must be protected from, like a contagion, Erik Parsels. The 1918 flu may have helped the Nazis considerably. Xenophobia would be harder to establish when the victims and attackers look and sound alike to us. If bioweapons were formed as a contageon, they would be difficult to direct and control. If they are formed to act more directly, how would they have advantages over more conventional weapons that could be more easily used?

  4585.  @RemembranceRugGuy  Because we can make this stuff up and we don't have a way of knowing the truth. It's like a chemical attack in some ways. If we could put one anywhere, why not here and now to start a war? There are sales to be made.

  4616. Once, I met a woman in the waiting room of a rescue that had taking the dogs back when it didn't work out. I don't know a thing about her life except that she was covered with bruises, crying and leaving town. She had a lot of the typical dog indulgences and toys. All I could think of to say was, "Such a cute dog will find a home quickly." Later, I wondered if the woman would find a good home.

Expecting them to adhere to the First Amendment puts a new spin on American exceptionalism. America ignores international laws we have all heard of that have more impact on the world than what people can watch on Netflix in Saudi Arabia. This comedian raises some excellent points.

Why not focus on the actual bad guys? I usually agree with Jimmy Dore and find it hard to believe that Dr. Chomsky supports "shitlibs." He has taken a "lesser of two evils approach" a few times. I have heard him decry our lack of medical coverage for all for years, so this is perplexing. Agree or disagree, but it doesn't diminish his body of work by a small fraction.

  4650. There is some interesting work by Christopher Leinberger, once President of the Urban Land Institute. Malls and their environs can be considered as urban cores. These have specific states of decline or expansion (as with offices and other commercial development) depending on which generation they are from, and these pretty much fit the same patterns for most North American cities. I found this interesting because I did not think of it on my own, most planners do not know it and it is fairly good at predicting development patterns.

I had her make what I thought was a framework of every medical choice that might need to be made. I see now that I was missing information. The framework I downloaded was lame. For example "Would you want antibiotics for an infection?" seemed obvious, innocuous. It isn't he same question when the mind has mostly left. She still reacts to the straight man lines I feed her with creative jokes that make it easier. Elegant woman. I may be biased. It is not madness to rage against the machine at such times. You have always been there for me. work and love give life meaning. Sometimes I find myself spending time in pleasant pastimes to counter the realities of providing home hospice care to my mother and defending myself from cretins on the internet. (The last one is easy after seeing two normal boys through their teen years. I find most of what they did funny.) You don't see much of my life. I am working out, eating healthy, using a lot of weed for its' soporific effect and somehow dealing with constantly searching for soiled depend undergarments that I find in all kinds of odd places. My Mum looks like she has been worked over by goons from her recent falls. She tells the same three anecdotes, sometimes five times in a row. The weed is temporary. With the way I am wired, hard core nursing has made me lose my appetite for food and even with the respite physical and mental and nutritional focus, I find myself puking at least once a week because it is one humiliation after another for her.

In fact, he has expressed that sentiment many times and every time you have told him to fuck off and leave you alone because you never want to be with him, but then he didn't. I honestly do not want to be romantically involved with a man like that. So I love him as a friend, but then there is "romance creep," which he appears to have engineered only to quickly turn back into the man you never want to be involved with as a lover. I have begged him to think of me as something other than a woman many times. To please be a friend because I find him essential. It would then be irrelevant what an Asswang he is.

It looks like I lost you around the time we never met.

  4745.  @jimmascaro2456 It is excellent. If it brings you peace, you did not lose them. As an experiment, be careful of it, though. I tried walking away from someone many times, and that used to bring me peace. I thought of us as friends or colleagues for years. Now, walking away and coming back has made me realize I love him. I might have lost him from all my previous walking away. I hope not.

  4746.  @makhnig3150  I am not sure what you mean? I have grown up, which is not trivial. Going through a dark time and having difficulties with it is not the same thing as being immature. I feel myself emerging. I have had mysterious help, for which I am grateful. What would be the point of acknowledging someone as a wife and not telling her? She is, in fact, not your wife.

(Even though I am secretly pleased that they did turn out average in this respect because of the difficulties life throws at people who are different.) You are such a humourist, Tony Fat.

  4789. I understand your thinking. If someone were knocking your door down in a home invasion, it is typically unlikely that the police would get there fast enough. My initial comment was about submachine guns and accessories to modify them, which are most suited to mowing down many people at once.
    1
  4790. Maybe not. There might be exceptions. Your example sounds like a kind of war. How would exceptions be incorporated into law, though? It seems like they wouldn't. I was thinking of people who face a more average amount of risk. Semi-automatic weapons have been used in several mass shootings. Thank you for removing a flaw in my logic. I just came back to do it myself.

  4795. Jordan Peterson downplays the notion that there could be Nazis in Canada. It seems likely that there are people like this in any group of over a thousand people, or is it a hundred? Here in Edmonton, we have many connections to Ukraine, both historical and current. There have been a series of what look like racially motivated violent crimes, especially associated with the light rail system. I think it would be a useful study to see if there is a connection. If there were, understanding would be the path to fixing the problem in any real way. My grandfather was Ukranian, having emigrated around 1914-1917. He didn't talk about the "old country" much, except to say that the borders shifted a lot. My grandfather couls speak six languages and was once a Seargeant managing a cavalry in the Austrian Army. He left before the Holodomor, but recent leaps have been made in the science of epigenetic changes to populations. These can be caused by experiences like starvation, and they can also be caused by trauma. I was surprised to learn that these are mulltigenerational. What could it mean to us if we understood these things well?

  4822. Abstract and anecdotal; I interviewed last week to become an American citizen like my sons. The woman who questioned me had nails painted like American flags. She asked me why don't I bring my 87-year-old mother who has dementia and other pre-existing conditions to the States rather than spend most of my recent time in Canada caring for her. After I replied, "She could live another ten years, and we can't afford the medical insurance," the interview turned on me. I didn't lie. Even though I was willing to swear that I would defend America over other countries, it would be untrue to say that on a mass scale life is better in America. I shook her hand on my way out and it felt like a dead fish.

  4901.  MEN56  Noam Chomsky does not endorse Biden, here making him sound malleable, so much as he doesn't want another four years of Trump. That is his opinion, apparently. He is one of the most honest men I have heard. I am pretty sure that if someone asked his advice on Biden's historic choices on deregulating the economy for banks and wars of intervention for our economy, he would tell us the truth. I am confident that he would say to us what he thinks of the bipartisan COVID relief measures that will be yet another money syphon from the people to corporate America. Democracy now still does some excellent reporting but appears to make more and more unsubstantiated claims to support their political agenda, so you have a point. I prefer news that can be fact-checked to sweeping allegations.

  4937. Manuel Castro, You raise an interesting point. It's like we often have to be our own reporters to have an inkling of what is going on in the world. I get a lot of my news from YouTube, and much of it might be wrong. Much of what I learn is in the comments section, which is full of lies but then has some surprising truths. Cross-referencing can help somewhat, but fact checking could turn into a full-time job if I wanted to be sure of every detail. Most people can't do this. I am still glad for the internet. Christina Briano and I may be very well informed on the news but with a few mistakes. I would choose that over not having alternative news sources. I guess that professionals (Jimmy Dore) are careful with their facts.

  4944. Who would find that appealing @TooMuchDramaInTheMilkyWay Galaxy ? Nobody is watching your silly little morality play. Feels like you are not getting enough love, doesn't it? Get that part of you that I didn't invite off my computer.

  4945. I am careful who I accept hugs from@TooMuchDramaInTheMilkyWay Galaxy Twitter is the opposite of a pleasant distraction to me. It floods my senses with extraneous information when a huge part of my focus is always to not be distracted.

  4946. Why don't you send your uncle that clip where you said "no, instead" or the Valentines montage you prepared in 2017@TooMuchDramaInTheMilkyWay Galaxy This was all you.

  4947. So you would tell the truth except if you thought the listener would not like what you said@TooMuchDramaInTheMilkyWay Galaxy ? I can give you a few suggestions on how you could avoid the absurd dramas you tend to create. If you are interested.

  4948.  Dylan Stewart  I will go back to my wiser statement that I made earlier and not make up facts. Stop leading me in those directions with partial facts then. Table it until I can know the facts.

  4950.  @thesuperdoge2476  I love it, too. A lot of bears are killed for getting too close to people, though. They are both right. I wish I had seen this in my backyard.

  4952.  @mmedefarge  They may need a more captivating leader and platform. I wish Bernie Sanders in 2014 had been running Green Party, as he may have had a different result.

  4953.  @mmedefarge  I like how you phrase that as still in the future. Something has to change.

  4954.  @mmedefarge  Impossible, unfortunately. I didn't vote because nobody touched on my top two concerns; ending our "wars of economic intervention" and establishing an economy that works for everyone.

  4980.  @ogzbyrktr1  You wouldn't if it were one of the many other forms of love, but in the case of romantic love, there would be an initial disappointment phase that they didn't choose you. That's nature's design, as it makes us move on. To find someone who might be right.
    1
  4981.  @ogzbyrktr1  I meant a Greek philosophical system that describes the different forms of love. Search on "Greek forms of love." The one discussed was eros. The highest form of enlightenment, some believe, is "agape," the ability to love all things in people. I will never get there.

  4989. One of my friends went to Greece and ended up taking large bags of dog food to a beach on a rented motorbike every day for the two weeks she was there Dr. Who 107. Those poor dogs. That would not be everyone's dream vacation, but I love her for it. In my imagination, they will be taken in by this man.

  4992. Why were no stipulations put on those tax breaks? There should have been performance standards with the bailouts. This makes me so mad I can hardly watch it. Good work.

  4993. One has to be careful to not make up traumas, Strazzy Steak. In a small study (valid?), adults were told by a parent of an experience of being lost in a shopping mall and then interviewed. Even though the "memory" planted by the parent was false, childhood memories of being lost in a mall were generated more often than not.

  4994.  @BigMacc  Same. Traumas in my case.

  4995. I was shocked to recently learn that we still prohibit people from Islamic countries from travelling to the US. I was told by a woman whose mother is Jordanian.

  4996.  @Rhaspun  Many people don't look at the links. Another scenario is that opinion is deliberately represented as fact without a serious look at the evidence.

  4999. The last time I went into the States, the customs agent said, "Want to see a trick?" So he put my passport face down on the counter as the computer pulled up my passport information just from a camera looking at my face.

  5000. It is so ridiculously easy to smear someone these days, BANKO007. I am waiting for "He winked at me" to get on the news and ruin a man's career. Who knows? To be clear, I am not rooting for Joe Biden.

  5002.  @LeChristVraiDieu , I wish it were more catchy. Just because it is noteworthy as being the oldest. That must be a particular kind of bias. Wishing we were funkier as a species.

  5013. Parents, but mine are gone. They were both excellent and terrible. In times of stress, I respond to the awful as if that is all there is. I have to learn not to do that, but it will take trusting people to be on my side. That didn't always work out when it came to my parents.

  5020.  @furqanasif3989  One could argue that they now do appear to represent the majority of Afgan people. Will the theocracy or a more moderate popular will prevail? We should listen to what they say.

  5023. Bernie has read the latest public opinion polls. He had me taken in in 2016. Just another courtesan. If only that 2016 moment in politics had taken flight, though. Not on foreign affairs, but if you fix domestic policy, your resources are pointed in a different direction.
