  • Prevention of Dangers: Mark of a Compassionate Society

    If only canes, walkers, railings and banisters were sentient, what would their message be to humans on Earth? “Prevention is the Priority, Dummies,” they would exclaim.  “Look at how many trips and falls we prevent for our users compared to the enormous costs in pain, suffering, family disarray and economic expenses that would occur were […]

  • Poverty in Greece

    New York Times published a news article “Greece, Battered a Decade Ago, Is Booming” by Liz Alderman, with additional reporting from Niki Kitsantonis (Monday, Sept. 25 / in print on Saturday, Sept. 30, Section B, Page 1 with the headline: “A New Era of Prosperity for Greece”). The article informs us that Greece was hit by an economic crisis […]

  • Pronatalism on the Rise to Counter Growing Push for Gender Equality

    There’s an insidious new tactic emerging for selling Right-wing ideology to wider audiences, evident in last month’s Budapest Demographic Summit for “family-friendly thinkers and decision-makers,” the upcoming pro-birth Natal conference in Austin, Texas, and the recent film “Birthgap.” They all peddle pronatalism, a set of norms and policies that exhorts and often coerces women to […]

  • A Daft Policy: The US Economic Strangulation of China

    The broad lament from commentators about global economic growth is that China is not pulling its weight.  Not enough is being done to stir the sinews and warm the blood, at least when it comes to the GDP counters.  And many such pundits hail from countries, most prominently the United States, which have done everything […]

  • Beneath the Polycrisis Is the Singular Dilemma of Humanity Called Capitalism

    Beneath the Polycrisis Is the Singular Dilemma of Humanity Called Capitalism

    Tsherin Sherpa (Nepal), Lost Spirits, 2014. Dilemmas of humanity abound. There is little need to look at statistical data to know that we are in a spiral of crises, from the environmental and climate crisis to the crises of poverty and hunger. In 1993, the philosophers Edgar Morin and Anne-Brigitte Kern used the term ‘polycrisis’ […]

  • Meet the New Normal, Same as the Old Normal: You Are Still the Enemy Within   

    Today, we are witnessing the nudging (manipulation) of the population to accept a ‘new normal’ based on a climate emergency narrative, restrictions on movement and travel, programmable digital money, ‘pandemic preparedness’ courtesy of the World Health Organization’s tyrannical pandemic treaty, unaccountable AI and synthetic ‘food’. Whether it involves a ‘food transition’, an ‘energy transition’, 15-minute […]

    Postmodern Tyranny: States of Deception from 9/11 to Covid-19

    It’s been well over a year now since the health scare dubbed the Covid-19 pandemic has had any widespread impact upon the lives of the vast majority of humanity. Since the “fog of war” has lifted, so to speak, there has been very little introspection regarding the knee-jerk authoritarianism imposed upon humanity in the liberal […]

  • The Three M’s: Mutual Aid, Magnanimity and Meals on Wheels

    The Three M’s: Mutual Aid, Magnanimity and Meals on Wheels

    While August 19 was International Humanitarian Day, just a short stone’s throw from the Waldport Post Office is a hub of volunteers and one director feeding the soul of the needy on a weekly basis. For manager Nicole Person, her 10 years of service with Meals on Wheels in Waldport have been a lesson in […]

  • Western Tales About China are Just Tales

    Introduction Western media never stop warning us of China: it menaces Taiwan, threatens its neighbors and shipping lanes in the South China Sea, and sticks military bases on Cuba. China, we are told, spies on us by the most devious means, through TikTok, Huawei 5G, and weather balloons. And China, say our media, ensnares Africa […]

  • No Let-Up In U.S. Economic Decline

    No Let-Up In U.S. Economic Decline

    As the mainstream media continues to make irrational and diversionary statements about the economy, facts show and experience confirms that people’s living and working standards continue to steadily decline. The economy continues to move in the wrong direction. Poor economic conditions persist, which is why the vast majority remain pessimistic about the economy and recognize […]
