Debt levels are unsustainable. Economic recovery isn't happening. Money is “too expensive”, draining the economy of a substantial part of its production. We seem to have some first voices appearing here that advocate cancellation of the burden which that debt puts on the whole economy… the idea is that of a debt jubilee – forgiveness of debts.

Democracy’s Debt Ladder [Interview with Michael Hudson]

What you’re really seeing right now in the IMF report, in this growth of debt, is that One Percent of the population owns maybe three-quarters of all this debt. This means that there’s a choice: either you can save the economy, or you can save the One Percent from losing a single penny.

His latest book is Killing the Host: How Financial Parasites and Debt Bondage Destroy the Global Economy.

A universal basic income would certainly be a step in the right direction … it would free immense creativity that today is absorbed in doing jobs that, when you really look at it, make little sense.

Universal basic income wouldn’t make people lazy–it would change the nature of work

A New Vision for IR Schools in the Platformed World

Key points:

Whole way in which information and society are organized has changed. From stovepipes to networks — growing power of audience and authentity. This is a threat to the whole Westphalian order of nations (i.e. top-down “because we say so” hierarchical authority). State-owned media now setting the new standard for message delivery while the Western media is collapsing for lack of viability of the advertising – print – broadcast models. Western media is spending too much time on minutia of single events and not enough time on framing, context, and meaning.

“It is time for schools to come down from the ivory tower…and start engaging with the public, doing news analysis, data dives, informing the public [in ways  that] the media cannot.   . . .   This is an opportunity as well as a responsibility.”

Surging “Intercommunity Confrontations” In France Mean “Civil War Is Inevitable”

 

  • In France, the global elites made a choice. They decided that the “bad” voters in France were unreasonable people too stupid to see the beauties of a society open to people who often who do not want to assimilate, who want you to assimilate to them, and who threaten to kill you if you do not. The elite took the side against their own old and poor because those people did not want to vote for them any longer. They also made a choice not to fight Islamism because Muslims vote collectively for this global elite.

“We are on the verge of a civil war.” That quote did not come from a fanatic or a lunatic. No, it came from head of France's homeland security, the DGSI (Direction générale de la sécurité intérieure), Patrick Calvar. He has, in fact, spoken of the risk of a civil war many times. On July 12th, he warned a commission of members of parliament, in charge of a survey about the terrorist attacks of 2015, about it.

A New Level of “Deep State” Exposure – Interviews by Gary Null with public interest attorney, Daniel Sheehan

Activists from all backgrounds would be well-served to gain a thorough understanding of the corporate, military and financial forces that operate behind the scenes and exert control over governments and institutions. Even presidents have had to contend with such forces.

“Since I entered politics, I have chiefly had men's views confided to me privately. Some of the biggest men in the U. S., in the field of commerce and manufacturing, are afraid of somebody, are afraid of something. They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so watchful, so interlocked, so complete, so pervasive, that they had better not speak above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.” –President WoodrowWilson, 1913
