The way people are acting like trust in media-sanctioned narratives should be a given after those institutions literally JUST discredited themselves in front of everyone is insane. You don't have to believe anything odd about the virus or the vaccine to understand the distrust.

After Russiagate, Why WOULDN'T People Be Skeptical About Covid?

Don't let elitists use the illusion of complexity to cow you out of talking about what's going on in your world. You can see what's going on well enough to begin speaking out, and the more you learn the more detailed the picture will become.

The Oligarchic Empire Is Actually Simple And Easy To Understand

Military members who support imperialism get promoted. Those who get to the top go on to work for war profiteers. The war profiteers fund think tanks which promote more wars. The mass media report "news" stories citing those think tanks. These stories manufacture consent for more wars.

The war industry reinforces itself. Those who get to the top of the war machine move on to the private sector and spend their time lobbying for more wars which create more eventual Pentagon officials who go on to lobby for more wars. Peace should be easy. This is why it's not.

The System Is Rigged For Endless War

The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change has posted a lengthy essay by the former British Prime Minister who led the United Kingdom into two of the most unconscionable military interventions in living memory. Blair criticizes the withdrawal as having been done out of "obedience to an imbecilic political slogan about ending 'the forever wars'," bloviating about “Radical Islam,” and asking, "has the West lost its strategic will?"

Bush-Era War Criminals Are Louder Than Ever Because They've Lost The Argument

The billionaire CEO of the multibillion-dollar corporation that recently purchased the news media outlet Politico has said that its newly acquired employees will be required to support Israel and the capitalist world order.

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Mathias Döpfner, CEO of the German publisher Axel Springer, said that Politico staffers will be required to adhere to a set of principles which include "support for a united Europe, Israel’s right to exist and a free-market economy, among others."

“These values are like a constitution, they apply to every employee of our company,” Mr. Döpfner told WSJ. People with a fundamental problem with any of these principles “should not work for Axel Springer, very clearly,” he said.

I mean, how refreshing is that? How often does a billionaire corporation buy up a media property and just straightforwardly tell you they're going to be using it to push propaganda? They even say what the propaganda will be. It makes you feel like your intelligence is being respected.

Refreshingly Honest Billionaire Says Media Purchase Will Be Used For Propaganda

This weeks assignment was to remix a trio from an earlier disquiet project.

I very much enjoyed the Campos track https://soundcloud.com/campos-1/on-their-way-with-krakenkraft-and-morgulbee-disquiet0527, So I attacked it with delays and fx and added a more repetitive beat, creating a more washed out remix of the original. Heavy usage of Permut8 with lfo's for the noise barrages.
