More on the ones who know
Bill McKibben gave a revealing speech two years ago. The video above was shot in early 2016– Bill McKibben was speaking to people getting arrested for blocking a new pipeline. Hint(if you don’t have nine minutes to waste): McKibben knew by 2016 that the fight to save the earth was lost. and accidentally spilled the […]
Is the crash coming now that September ended?
From Forbes, on Friday: “Earlier this week, Verizon confirmed that it offered a voluntary severance package (VSP) to about 44,000 employees and that it will transfer over 2,500 IT staff – some rumors suggest the figure to be closer to 5,000 employees – to India-based Infosys as part of a $700 million outsourcing deal.” I had […]
THEY ALL KNEW
I open this post with a picture of a video confrontation from nine years ago. DAILY SHOW host Jon Stewart took on the people who appear on CNBC, a 24 hour network that (mis)advises people on their finances. CNBC celebrity Jim Cramer was upset, so Stewart invited him on to defend himself. It was probably […]
Trump administration admits we’re doomed
What a sucky, shitty week. Everyone has been so transfixed by the battle over Trump’s SCOTUS pick, Brett Kavanaugh, that we’ve ignored my favorite existential crisis. (Understand–there are reasons you should be concerned about Brett Kavanaugh becoming a Supreme Court Justice, including this one, but Kavanaugh’s ascension to the nation’s highest court does not constitute […]
Come see me in a Movie!
It’s called THE COFFEE ADVISORS. It’s about 9/11. I’m in this film. It’s an episodic series based on journalists investigating the truth behind 9/11. We’ll be screening the first three episodes. I’m in the first episode A LOT. Directed by Lander Pressure, who has made a great-looking series. It will be on SATURDAY! September 29 […]
“Trump is our last president”
There are currently two sources to the TRUMP LAST PRESIDENT bromide. The one that’s famous is from Michael Moore, film-maker who just released his anti-Trump film titled FAHRENHEIT 11-9. In the round of interviews leading up to the release, he popularized the scary (though credible) notion that TRUMP will not ever leave the WH. You […]
‘Lucy’ at 17–the unanswered questions
Today is September 11, aka 9/11. It’s an anniversary I’ve been cursed with since that day back in 2001. I’ve written about this several times, but the basics–it was my first day at a temp assignment on Wall Street. I arrived at 8:45 and there was something looking like confetti as I stepped out of […]
Seventeen years gone– 9-11 and Michael Ruppert
From Collapse, a documentary about Michael C. Ruppert. Worth your time. Below is a link to a document put together in the crazy days immediately following the 9/11 attack on the US. Michael C Ruppert, an individual I’ve written about here, was on the government’s radar for most of his life–both of his parents […]
A Meme on the Nike/Kaepernick protest
Someone reminded me of what it means to stand up against evil (or in Colin’s case, kneel down). If you’ve managed to avoid all this, NFL star Colin Kaepernick started ‘taking a knee’ during the National Anthem in order to call attention to the young men and women of color being killed by police under […]
“What If It’s Already Too Late?”: Being an Activist in the Anthropocene
This is an amazing article. I circulate it because this is among the first writers who makes a case for a planning mechanism for a time when everything melts down. I’m also sharing it because there’s an assertion here that one of the ‘mainstream’ climate activists knows that the game is already lost, based on […]
