Assange Exposes The Empire's True Face: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

 Julian Assange is a journalist who's been imprisoned for doing journalism on war crimes, by an empire that claims to defend journalists and oppose war crimes.

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum - even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there's free thinking going on, while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate."~ Noam Chomsky.

The only people who hate leftists more than rightists do are liberals, which is a bit funny because rightists think leftists and liberals are the same.

Obviously there are powerful people looking to exploit global warming to shore up wealth and power; that's to be expected.

One reason it's so hard to set up beneficial systems is because in negotiations manipulators always push for the absolute maximum amount of gain they can possibly grab while good people only push for a normal, human-sized amount of space for themselves.

That's not going to change until normal people stop letting the manipulators set the bar of what's "Reasonable" and start pushing out space for themselves with as much force and entitlement as bad people.

People are going to have to stop coming to the negotiating table with their compromise, and instead show up with the demand to take back everything that was stolen from them - and more - with as much force as necessary.
