To think we allow these failed talking heads and policy shapers run anything is a sad statement on the lethargy and conditioned ignorance of the mass of U.S. citizens.  The same goes with those who see unlimited capitalist accumulation as logical.

People complaining about the US eviction ban are like, "Oh help me, I am a landlord and my investment property isn't yielding free money. I am a lord, I cannot get a job, I cannot work for my hands are like gelatin desserts."

Rent Is A Scam

And it was seen that there's not actually any reason humanity cannot collectively awaken to this perspective. The ability to awaken from the illusion of the mental self exists within us all, and probably exists for a reason. Every species eventually reaches a point where it must adapt to changing conditions in an ever-changing world, and with egoic consciousness threatening our existence with climate collapse and nuclear war we are most certainly arriving at that point today.

The End Of Illusions

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

In the wake of the Afghanistan withdrawal influential promoters of western militarism have been absolutely fuming about the popular idea of ending the forever wars, and their tantrums are not even trying to disguise it as something else. They're literally using that phrase, "ending the forever wars", and then saying it's a bad thing.

I mean, what a bizarre hill to die on. War is the very worst thing in the world, and forever is the very worst amount of time they could go on for, yet they're openly condemning the "doctrine of ending the forever wars". How warped does your sense of reality have to be to even think this is a view anyone who isn't paid by defense contractors could possibly be sympathetic to?

Warmongers Keep Raging About The Phrase 'Ending The Forever Wars' And We Should Laugh At Them

Pride, praise and celebration are not the appropriate emotional response to the day. The appropriate response to a decades-overdue withdrawal from a war that should never have happened in the first place is rage. Unmitigated rage at an unforgivable atrocity which amassed a mountain of corpses for no legitimate reason, from which the region will probably not recover in our lifetime. Unmitigated rage at those responsible for starting and maintaining this horror all this time.

The Completion Of The Afghanistan Withdrawal Is Nothing To Celebrate

Börsen blev nervös efter förra veckans svaga NFP-siffra som kom in rejält under estimat och faktiskt kvalar in som den tredje sämsta missen någonsin. Men vad är narrativet? Bad News is Good News? Mycket möjligt att marknaden nu börjar tro att FED:s tapering skjuts på framtiden, men oavsett är det ju inte enorma stödköp som skapar långsiktigt aktieägarvärde, även om det skapar brus på kort sikt. Dessutom ett trevligt nyhetssvep.

Delikat lyssning på dig,
Nicklas

LHT 25 noviembre 2021 Visita del Consejo Nacional Electoral – como funcionará el proceso electoral.

This week's Disquiet project asked us to thin k about times when talking doesn't help. I thought about the way corporations are now talking about "mental health" and "mindfulness" and I think that they might be better thinking about how they could pay us better and reduce our working hours. So this is in tribute to corporate "mindfulness".
