"Of the $319 million Bill Gates gave to media outlets by November 2021, NPR received $24,663,000 and PBS got at least $4 million.
In return those “public interest” broadcasters aired flattering reports on Gates’s corrupt self dealing and profiteering on his global vaccine projects and his hostile takeover of WHO. Gates’s climate strategy is top down social control and geo engineering projects for which he owns the IP. While shorting Tesla, he has invested heavily in fossil fuels, rail ,private jet companies and chemical pesticides and petroleum based AG.
He accurately characterizes his approach as “ philanthrocapitalism”-a strategy of amplifying his billions by appearing to solve social problems with technologies that he controls and profits from."

Something tells me this person couldn't care less about her perceived adherence to social norms..
Good for Rowling.
Narnia is better in every way but the themes are garlic to Hollywood.

These days, you'd probably do your kids the biggest favor by naming them "John Smith" or "Sarah Smith" or anything generic to give them maximum anonymity.
> But if Xi thinks seizing the factories that make 90 percent of the world’s high-end chips means he would control that piece of the supply chain, he does not understand the nature of free-market ecosystems.
If the author of this article thinks chips are the only reason China would invade Taiwan, then they dont understand China.

Attacking our institutions from the inside has been going on for a long time:

> Later dubbed by 1960s German student activist Rudi Dutschke as “the long march through the institutions,” Gramsci wrote in the 1930s of a “war of position” for socialists and communists to subvert Western culture from the inside in an attempt to compel it to redefine itself.
> Gramsci viewed churches, charities, the media, and schools as organizations that needed to be invaded by socialist thinkers.

Big think:
What would happen if everyone upset about the state of things stopped complaining online, and used the time to get active locally

So.. slightly above where it was just before the conflict started, and after playing all their financial sanction cards and causing blowback against dollar homogeneity in the process?
I think that counts as a Pyrrhic victory..

One thing that strikes me about conspiracy theories is that they aren't coming about because people are becoming unmoored from reality but because they've lost trust in an establishment that isn't interested in the truth, isn't interested in fair play, isn't interested in following the rules.
In such an environment, rumor and conjecture becomes the way we try to make sense of the world. I've seen it in non political contexts when a workplace doesn't have good communication but people need information to try to figure out what decisions to make. Obviously some of the conspiracy theories turn out wrong or are self-evidently wrong, but as the song goes: "just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you" -- many of the conspiracy theories end up being totally correct.

Bingo.
I literally trust what I see on the fediverse than any mainstream news organization.

Two kinds of people:
The kind that think more laws can fix everything, and the kind that understands everything is downstream of culture.
Maybe everything isnt "left" and "right"
Maybe it's "culture" vs "laws"
