  Face To Fasces Evil-doers do evil Radio Far Side "Destiny’s powerful hand has made the bed of my future, and it’s up to me to lie in it. I am destined to be a superhero, to right wrongs, and pound two-fisted justice into the hearts of evil-doers everywhere. You don’t fight destiny. No sir! And you don’t eat crackers in the bed of your future, or you get all… scratchy. Hey, I’m narrating here!" —  The Tick , 1994 As a freelance writer and editor, I work on a lot of high-level international documents. Though they are freely available on the interwebs, very few of us actual humans ever read them, and with good reason. If I didn’t get paid to do it, I would rather pull my own teeth with tweezers. These reports, roadmaps, frameworks, and studies clearly lay out the machinery of global governance. They go into excruciating detail on the legal and regulatory foundations for how governments blend with NGOs, blend with financial institutions, blend with “stakeholders” (how I detest

  Countless Conspiracies New World Orders are a dime a dozen Joe Allen It’s easy to imagine a One World Conspiracy to control the entire planet. This idea slides right into the “Evil” slot in the human mind. When your cognitive evil-detector goes off, an imagined human cabal—perhaps wearing black robes—is liable to appear in your mind’s eye. These shadowy Bad Guys either merge with the demons in your head, creating a satanic cabal; or else the human element shoves the supernatural entities aside, bringing the “demons” down to earth as a One World old-boys’ network. You either get a conspiracy of devil-worshipers or a conspiracy of devilish humans. As with peas and mashed potatoes, it all ends up the same place. If ye ain’t careful, thar bound to get’che. I’m as prone to imagine a unified front as any other paranoiac. But that doesn’t make it true. After careful consideration, I think it’s much worse than that. A single conspiracy is an easy problem to solve—you just neutralize the cons

  Useless Eaters of the World, Unite! by Hans Vogel Hans Vogel argues that the arrest of Telegram CEO Pavel Durov by French authorities illustrates the growing surveillance state in Europe, where governments, under the influence of the declining American Empire, suppress free communication while neglecting rising migrant violence and the dumbing down of education and public discourse. The recent arrest of Telegram boss Pavel Durov by the French police has sent shockwaves over the world. Rightly so, since it brings additional evidence that our rulers are determined to keep tabs on everything we say and think, and who we communicate with. Governments, especially those of the decaying American Empire, are paranoid. Their officials are lamentable, but vicious. These are men like Gerd Wiesler, the East German Stasi Captain from Florian Henckel von Donnersmark’s masterful movie  The Lives of Others  (2006). Fully convinced they are actually protecting their fellow citizens against evil thoug

  Here's Why the World is Falling Apart  (and What You Can Do About It!) THE CORBETT REPORT by James Corbett Do you ever get the feeling that everything is breaking down all at once? Forget about starting a family or buying a house. It's becoming harder and harder for young men and women just to put food on the table. And those lucky ones who defy the odds and manage to start a family sure aren't spending their time at neighbourhood barbecues while the kids play a game of pick-up street hockey. Today, they'd be lucky to pry the kids away from their device long enough for them to notice that there  are  other kids in their neighbourhood. Not that the parents are any better at living life. What's everyone  doing  on those devices? Scrolling through their never-ending social media feeds of doom porn and ragebait, of course! They're busy watching Israel holocaust Palestine and NATO inch closer to nuclear war with Russia and people at home engaging in  public freakou
