We are the 99%! shared with thanks

Special photo report by Max Hogster

“The new normal is not normal, it’s no kind of normal at all”.

So declares rock legend Van Morrison in “Born to Be Free“, a protest song against the nightmare global police state which the ruling elite are trying to impose on us all.

And another protest song was ringing out in London’s Trafalgar Square on Saturday September 26.

“We are the 99%!” sang tens of thousands of people who have seen through the lies and propaganda with which they have been besieged. “You can stick your new world order up your arse!”

This was another big day for the fast-growing UK revolt against the totalitarian Covid coup.

Is the Toxic Cocktail of chemicals Making Americans Aggressive, Neurotic and Stupid

A parasite carried by cats and known to suppress fear may be the key driver behind the decisions of people infected by it to make bold moves and chronic risk taking, which could include firing workers, destroying rivals, manic mysogyny and other capitalist behaviours, a new study by The Royal Society B has revealed.Related image

Toxoplasma Gondii is a parasite that affects many warm-blooded animals, but cats are its only known definitive host, in which it can reproduce. The parasite is peculiar because it is known to suppress fear and encourage risk-taking in some animals like rats, who thus become more vulnerable to a preying cat.

The new research, published in the journal Proceeding of the Royal Society B, points to a similar effect Toxoplasma has on humans. The researchers found people with toxoplasmosis are more likely to have…

Hell for refugees in Lesbos, Greece

petrel41's avatarDear Kitty. Some blog

Greek policeman kicks out at refugees in the Moria camp in LesbosFrom News Line daily in Britain today:

Abysmal conditions for thousands of refugees in ‘Moria 2.0’ camp

THOUSANDS of people are living in abysmal conditions in a new camp, which was built to replace Moria camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, after it was destroyed by fire last month.

According to the Greek Council for Refugees and Oxfam, conditions are even worse than in Moria, with little or no running water, no sewage management or treatment, limited health facilities and woefully inadequate shelter.

Almost 8,000 people – most of them families with children – have been moved to the new camp, which has been dubbed ‘Moria 2.0’ by residents. Many are living in flimsy tents, some of which are pitched just 20 metres from the sea and have already been flooded and battered by strong winds.

The location of the new camp is on a former military shooting…

Confirmed: Facebook now filters out left news from user feeds while leaving right untouched

SKWAWKBOX (SW) By SKWAWKBOX (SW)19

Social media platform censors left-wing news publishers and relaxed fact-checking standards for right-wing pages

Image

Revelations in the Wall Street Journal have confirmed what the SKWAWKBOX reported in 2017 and 2018: that Facebook knowingly biased its news algorithms against left-wing news sites in order to reduce their visibility in its users feeds and the amount of traffic sent to them from the social media platform.

The WSJ reports that Facebook bosses were worried that they would be accused of bias against right-wing sites (hardly a surprise, since right-wingers claim that even the Tory-run BBC News is too left-wing). So, in changes approved by Mark Zuckerberg, the platform updated its processes to hit left-wing sites hardest.

On Facebook Banning Anarchist And Antifascist Pages and The Digital Censorship To Come

PeterGelderloos@PeterGelderloos·Aug 19Gotta love our racist, Centrist overlords. F-book shut down pages of a few right-wing militias who have shot multiple people, and anarchist news sites like @IGD_News and @crimethinc, which share news articles, promote organizing against fascists or evictions, don’t murder ppl.

A Facebook spokesperson did not deny that the changes had been designed to affect left-wing sites more, but simply said no individual publisher had been targeted.

How indigenous land victories can cool a warming planet..

Your country and mine are suffering from literal floods (1.5 meters of water in my home as I write this!) as well as a flood of bad news, so I want to share some rare good news: It’s about how a big step for my Indigenous community could become a giant leap for all of us.

Since I spend a lot of my time taking photos and making films, I’m going to show, not just tell. This story starts in 1973, just before my parents were born. A group of men representing a Malaysian logging company showed up in our hamlet, Sungai Utik, in Indonesian Borneo and offered our Dayak Iban elders rolls of cash to gain access to our pristine forests.

They knew our traditional lands contained abundant ironwood and other hardwoods as prized and overexploited as the Truffula trees in Dr. Suess’s book The Lorax.

Good people don’t ….. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???.. toxic capitalism.

Filosofa’s Mind Meanderings

I am in a pensive mood tonight, rather saddened and disgusted by what I see people doing.  Y’know … Donald Trump is to blame for a lot … I could spend this entire post pointing out the things for which he should be held to account, but he isn’t responsible for our own behaviour … only we can be held to account for what we say and do, for how we treat others. 

Coronavirus: is capitalism making us sick? - YouTube

It is true that Trump has encouraged much of what is happening, has praised white supremacists, denigrated democrats, Muslims, Jews, women and a whole laundry list of others.  But, at the end of the day, I am responsible for the things I have done … nobody else.
