Where do we go from here?

The peasants are getting fat, and they are breeding!
Oh no.

What is “the Great Reset”?

The Great Reset is a massively funded, desperately ambitious, internationally coordinated project led by some of the biggest multinational corporations and financial players on the planet and carried out by cooperating state bodies and NGOs. Its soul is a combination of early 20th century science fiction, idyllic Soviet posters, the obsessiveness of a deranged accountant with a gambling addiction—and an upgraded, digital version of “Manifest Destiny.”

Society is no longer regarded as a living community but as a business, whose profitability is the sole valid aim of human activity.

The mathematical reason for the Great Reset is that thanks to technology, the planet has gotten small, and the infinite expansion economic model is bust—but obviously, the super wealthy want to continue staying super wealthy, and so they need a miracle, another bubble, plus a surgically precise system for managing what they perceive as “their limited resources.”

Thus, they desperately want a bubble providing new growth out of thin air—literally—while simultaneously they seek to tighten the peasants’ belts, an effort that starts with “behavioral modification,” a.k.a. resetting the western peasants’ sense of entitlement to high life standards and liberties (see awful “privilege”).

The psychological reason for the Great Reset is the fear of losing control of property, the planet. I suppose, if you own billions and move trillions, your perception of reality gets funky, and everything down below looks like an ant hill that exists for you. Just ants and numbers, your assets.

Many readers will remember how Republicans rigged the elections in Florida in 2000. A violent mob prevented volunteers from completing the recount in contested southern counties. 

Is the fix in?  Amy Coney Barrett worked with John Roberts and  Brett Cavenaugh on Bush v Gore in 2000 when all were in private practice

As a result, the recount could not be completed in time to meet the deadline of December 20, 2000 for legally choosing the state’s Electoral College delegation. The Bush campaign sued and took the case, Bush v Gore, to the U.S. Supreme Court, which by an infamous 5-4 decision, handed the presidency to Bush.

Twenty years later, a Republican challenge ending up in the Supreme Court could happen again, only this time three sitting justices –Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Brett Cavanaugh, and now Justice Amy Coney Barrett –will be well primed. All three were involved (then, as private attorneys) in giving Bush legal advice on how to handle the case, Bush V. Gore, in 2000 .

How might another Florida recount get challenged this time?

By Republicans failing to retain the images of ballots cast, as required by federal law, through electronic scanning.

members of Yorum before the hunger strikes

Ankara’s crackdown on Grup Yorum, a folk collective with rotating band members, is continuing to expand even after three of its members died as a result of hunger strikes protesting the Turkish government’s treatment of the band, Turkish Minute reported.

Ibrahim Gökçek of Grup Yorum at the funeral of Helin Bölek who died first for the right to sing her freedom songs. Ibrahim – himself on hunger strike, died shortly after.

Known for its leftist stance and songs about human rights violations and freedoms in Turkey, Grup Yorum has been banned from performing since 2016, with some of its members having been jailed. Turkish authorities have accused members of affiliation with the Revolutionary People’s Liberation Party/Front (DHKP-C), considered a terrorist organization by Turkey, the United States and the European Union.

The latest police raid on the İdil Cultural Center, where Grup Yorum members have been conducting their activities, resulted in the detention of 93 people out of 120 for whom warrants had been issued, including the band’s lawyers and background singers in addition to its soloists and musicians, as part of an expanded crackdown in October.

Italy: State of resuscitation – An article about the recent situation and the revolt in Naples

Naples. Italy. The general crisis – health, economic, institutional–continues to tighten its grip. We are just at the start. And the stench of the spectre of semi-lockdown, which will be worse than the first, is starting to be felt.

Originally published by Malacoda. Translated by Act For Freedom Now!

WHY A HALF LOCKDOWN IS WORSE THAN A WHOLE ONE

The newspapers are now saying it for certain: maximum 7-10 days. It should be noted that every prediction, in recent weeks, has been “revised” in advance of the facts. But what will semi-lockdown be?

It will still be the old mass quarantine, like last spring, with the difference that we will keep going to work.

In this permanent dystopia reality will continue to surpass the most perverse fantasy of science fiction writers: not just a virus that reduces humanity to house arrest, we are now facing a society in which people only leave their domestic cells to go to be exploited.

Gunfire, tear gas and threatening hordes mounted on ATVs

By Claudia Rafael and Silvana Melo Posted on Oct 31, 2020

(APe) .- Minutes before four in the morning it was black night. The dreams of the inhabitants of the Guernica estate were violently interrupted: some girls and boys were ran outside, in a race against time, against the inevitable.

Hundreds of families had been living in shacks on the land in the area of Guernica for more than three months, in a reflection of the growing poverty and lack of housing for many people in Argentina. The pandemic and lockdowns aimed at stopping the spread of COVID-19 have aggravated the country’s economic problems.

A warning of what would come shortly after allowed some to escape. Others, the majority, had to stay there. The images of horror will be tattooed by fire in her memories. Of the human hunt. “They entered at 4 in the morning, the boys were sleeping, people running with the boys. They left us stranded, the children were crying and running.

Alternative Media Network from the testimony of a woman in the territory. The succession of photographs of flesh and blood will accompany them for all their lives. The burning of boxes at the steady pace of the police that swept everything away.

Far back in time, trampled, buried, shattered, remains the hope of a promise of paradise.

On August 13, the children said – for the judicial presentation of the lawyers Laura Taffetani and Carolina Vilchez, from the Lawyers’ Union – that “this land means hope for us, to stop changing all the time and know that we are going to sleep there every day without anyone kicking us out.

We also want a beautiful neighborhood, with places to play, with streets as our mothers and fathers wanted ”.

And the parents – with the wisdom of the historically overwhelmed experience of childhood – “we come to say that we want a place to live and we also want it for all the boys and girls who live on the land where we are.”

Today the experiential photo is another. It is dressed in gunshots. Tear gas. Of menacing hordes mounted on quadricycles. Of 7, 8, 10 policemen surrounding each detainee in a long line, simulated army in action.

Girls and boys keep crying. There is no way to sweeten tears and fears. The terror of the screams. The terror that broke in, as terror tends to break, during the early morning. When darkness rules. When nightmares, real, concrete, all-consuming, feed with panic.

Hope stripped 4,400 people of utopia, in numbers that have been oscillating since that July 20, when a group of families settled in the July 20 sector. And that was completed with the arrival in the sectors called “San Martín”, “La Lucha” and “La Unión”.

And with what happened to the history of these months as “the taking of Guernica” they dared to do the forbidden. Their mere presence outraged the real estate trades of large financial operators and certain political powers that negotiate under the table.
