IS THE U.S. ESTABLISHMENT CONFIDENT?

Is the Establishment still terrified of Trump?
Why are the Democrats continuing with this exercise in vengeance?
You can smell the fear.

Black community and women to HAVE MORE INFLUENCE under Biden – Axios Poll

A survey by Pew Research of 5,360 US adults has been looking into how power and influence might shift in Washington DC under the Biden Admin.

The results show a big gain for: black people, women, plus gay and lesbian people. Almost two-thirds of Americans believe they will gain influence under the new president.

Just under half thought that the big losers of influence under Biden will be - evangelical Christians, business corporations, and the military.

Two out of every three Republicans thought ‘people like themselves’ would lose influence, whilst 50% of Democrats when asked the same question stated - they would not be affected.

URGÊNCIAS: SOBRE A REALIDADE DOS FACTOS

Fui desenterrar um meu texto de 6 de Junho de 2019 que, parece-me, é muito actual e muito oportuno:
«
Atendendo à nossa experiência de ontem – de minha mulher como paciente, minha como acompanhante alguns comentários sobre Urgências, Hospitais Estatais, Serviço Nacional de Saúde e questões correlacionadas.

NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE COLLAPSING?

In conclusion,
the NHS is overwhelmed but not because the public are being hospitalised with SARS-CoV-2 at an extraordinary rate.

The NHS is overwhelmed because
(1)
it is already an overwhelmed system and
(2)
the hospitals are working at a reduced capacity.

El Poder y la Verdad en Foucault

Es innegable la capacidad que tienen los medios de comunicación para imponer la verdad, en la medida en que, al no existir los "hechos, sino las interpretaciones", y al estar esta en las manos de los medios, tales interpretaciones les permiten delinear la verdad a su antojo, y luego repetirla tantas veces hasta que termine por ser la verdad de todos. Los "medios nobles" como fueron llamados en el pasado, son después del legislativo, el judicial y el ejecutivo; el cuarto poder, y quizá el primero de todos.

COVID-19, FOUCAULT, PODER E VERDADE

A Verdade é o Poder que a determina.
A Falsidade é o Poder que a determina.
O que não é Verdade é Falsidade.
Quem nega a Verdade é Criminoso.
Quem afirma a Falsidade é Criminoso.
Os Criminosos Serão Implacavelmente Punidos.

Dançamos todos também.

Why were big investors such big babies over GameStop?

Small investors took on big investors at their own game and manipulated markets by boosting stocks in companies like GameStop and Blackberry.

This upset the big investors, who used their wealth and power to try to stop it happening - like a kid taking his ball home just because he was losing.

Hardly seems fair, right?

Our man seeks wisdom from above.
