‘Tech’ Is Political—How We Respond to It Needs to Be Just as Political
New technologies will not solve our problems: People acting collectively will.
By Leah Hunt-Hendrix and Astra Taylor
The Internet and associated technologies reflect and amplify the winner-take-all economy in which they are embedded, inseparable from the political and financial revolution that has been unfolding since the 1970s.
Here is a potential game changing infrastructure technology, once again from the Dutch. And very good news. Road construction and maintenance using recycled plastic is a brilliant idea.

Rethinking the Concept of Global Coverage in the U.S. Intelligence Community

Here is the truth about the U.S. everyone should know, yet almost nobody does. Certainly you would be hard pressed to learn it from corporate media. Tuesday, when I am writing this, and for most of the preceding week, there has only been one story on news programs, as I am sure you have noticed: Donald Trump. I find it fascinating, Trump is the personification of the Randian worldview. And part of it is he has enough money to be a candidate simply because he chooses to be. He is a brilliant marketeer and leads in the polls because he appreciates that only about 11 per cent of Americans support and approve of our government. The great majority have nothing but contempt for it, as all polls show, and can appreciate a television character plutocrat come to life, who says what they think. But while we are lost in this opium dream of the national ego, a deeper uglier truth thrums. This is the America profit as the first social priority has created.As this report makes clear, it is a failing model. The data is equally clear that we must make wellness at every level our new social priority. We must reorder our world. This is what my friend Rick Ingrasci calls “The Decisive Decade.” The 2016 election is going to seal our fate. The decisions made over the next five years are going to set our path into climate change. This is who we are. It is up to us to decide who we want to be. Let me also note that this report came out in Fortune, an iconic example of conservative mainstream corporate business media. That's a message by itself.
12 signs America is on the decline
African governments sell out their farmers in secret seeds protection deal
African governments, ignoring the protests of their farmers and civil society, this week agreed an oppressive ‘plant variety protection protocol' that will open up their countries to commercial seed monopolists, while limiting farmers rights to save, use, exchange, replant, improve, distribute and sell the seeds they have developed over countless generations. The Arusha Protocol for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants regional legal framework gives intellectual property rights to breeders while restricting the age-old practices of African farmers to freely save, use, share and sell seeds and/or propagating material.
ISIS: The Latest Bean Counter's Folly
That problem is establishing self-reporting systems that only encourage and reward reports that indicate progress is being made and fit the established politically correct scenario. . . . The analytic problem is the models used for predicting outcomes of conflicts are woefully inadequate at best.

“The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
In my view, the two-party tyranny — the criminal cabal that has blocked 60% of the eligible voters in America from ballot access and meaningful participation in our national political process — a process Princeton and Jimmy Carter have both declared to be far removed from any semblance of democracy — is the enemy.
Among all the candidates now running for President, all of whom Thomas Friedman has famously and recently declared unsuitable to be President — I find ONE candidate who has the combination of money and moxie necessary to defeat the two-party tyranny and restore integrity to the electoral process of the United States of America, and hence to the government, the economy, and our society.
That candidate is — no surprise — Donald Trump.
Here is how he can do it.
