Coping Mechanisms and Rebranding The New World Order
John Fraim
“All of these arguments are a coping mechanism for the public to deal with evidence they cannot otherwise refute.”Brandon Smith
Denial and disbelief to the earth-shattering events of the past two years might largely be a psychological “coping mechanism” for many people rather than an expression of political views or attitudes.
But any psychology behind events of the past few years is the last thing the “powers-that-be” want people to think about.
As a result, the absence of a psychological perspective on world events is stunning.

The Normalization of The New Normal Reich
CJ Hopkins
I know, you’re probably sick and tired of hearing about the Rise of the New Normal Reich. You want it to be over. So do I. It isn’t over … not by a long shot.
It might seem like it’s over where you are. I imagine it does if you live in Florida, or in Texas, or the UK, or Sweden, or Croatia, or in some other country or state in which the majority of the “Covid restrictions” have been lifted, or perhaps were never introduced in the first place.
If that’s the case, I’m happy for you.…...

New Normal Newspeak #5: “Recession”
Our new series of micro-articles deals with the newly everyday occurrence of the modern media simply changing what a word means. Today’s word is “recession”.
The United States is not in a recession. The government want to be very clear about that.
Yes, it’s true that a “recession” is generally defined as…
a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters.

From Bill Gates to the Great Refusal – Farmers on the Frontline
Colin Todhunter
Prior to the Industrial Revolution, most humans were engaged in agriculture. Our relationship with nature was immediate. Within just a few generations, however, for many people across the world, their link with the land has been severed.
Food now arrives pre-packaged (often precooked), preserved with chemicals and contains harmful pesticides, micro-plastics, hormones and/or various other contaminants. We are also being served a narrower menu of high-calorie food with lower nutrient content.
It is clear that there is something fundamentally wrong with how modern food is produced.

Spies Like Us: The Assange Indictment
Suzie Halewood
The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia indictment of Julian Assange is a curious document. By the end of it you can’t help feeling that if anyone is to be indicted, it should be the US Government and the CIA.
Assange is accused of conspiracy to receive national information, obtaining national defence information, disclosure of national defence information and conspiracy to commit computer intrusion. Which is just a regular day at the office for any one of the alphabet agencies such as the CIA, FBI and NSA or for that matter, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook,…...

In September 2021, Bob Moran – then busy balancing his unlikely dual roles of Chief Political Cartoonist at the Daily Telegraph and Unofficial Cartoonist Laurette of the Great Awakening™ – got into trouble.
This trouble ultimately resulted in his losing his job (the Telegraph one, that is), forcing him think of new ways to support his young family.

Digital Authoritarianism: AI Surveillance Signals the Death of Privacy
John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead
“There are no private lives. This a most important aspect of modern life. One of the biggest transformations we have seen in our society is the diminution of the sphere of the private. We must reasonably now all regard the fact that there are no secrets and nothing is private. Everything is public.”

The BBC’s “Unvaccinated”: Propaganda with Professor Fry – Part 1
Iain Davis
In my previous article I committed the journalistic sin of predicting the future. I anticipated that the BBC’s proposed documentary, “Unvaccinated with Professor Hannah Fry,” would be little more than propaganda.
The BBC said it would place seven ordinary unvaccinated citizens in a house and then try to convince them that everything they thought they knew about the jabs was based upon mis/disinformation.
The BBC claimed it wanted to provide viewers with an “eye-opening investigation” that would “fully explore this complex and deeply divisive debate.”

Moscow to expand “safe & convenient” biometric payment system
Riley Waggaman
“Pay by biometrics.” Don’t tell me what to do.
Your Still-Very-Stranded-In-Tbilisi Correspondent mused at the end of June that the West’s never-ending barrage of sanctions might disrupt digital cattle-tagging efforts in Russia.
This is probably true in “backwards” regions that can’t boast a single Smart or Safe City—how embarrassing.
But it is definitely not true in Moscow, which is lorded over by a dancing Boston Dynamics robot named Sergey Sobyanin.
Last week, Sobyanin’s robo-deputy, Maxim Liksutov, who is also a friendly automaton, announced Moscow would be expanding its “safe and convenient” Face Pay system.
