Military applications at centre of Britain’s plans to be AI superpower
20 October 2021 — Drone Wars
The UK government published its National AI Strategy in mid-September, billed as a “ten-year plan to make Britain a global AI superpower”. Despite the hype, the strategy has so far attracted curiously little comment and interest from the mainstream media. This is a cause for concern because if the government’s proposals bear fruit, they will dramatically change UK society and the lives of UK Citizens. They will also place military applications of AI at the centre of the UK’s AI sector.

Amazon and Google: partners in Israeli apartheid
19 October 2021 — Jonathan Cook
Electronic Intifada – 19 October 2021
The best-selling Irish novelist Sally Rooney is openly shunning Israel after recent reports from human rights groups warned that Israel practices apartheid, systematically oppressing Palestinians under its rule.

The Unvaccinated Are Looking Smarter Every Week
18 October 2021 — Waking Times
Thomas T. Siler, M.D., American Thinker
There is a massive propaganda push against those choosing not to vaccinate against COVID-19 with the experimental mRNA vaccines. Mainstream media, the big tech corporations, and our government have combined efforts to reward compliance and to shame and marginalize non-compliance. Their mantra says that this is a pandemic of the unvaccinated. Persons who choose not to vaccinate are characterized as unintelligent, selfish, paranoid people who don’t read much and live in a trailer park in Florida (or Alabama, or Texas, or name your state). Never has there been such an effort to cajole, manipulate through fear, and penalize people to take an experimental medical treatment.

Mike Healy: ‘Marx and Digital Machines: Alienation, Technology, Capitalism’
8 October 2021 — Marx and Philosophy
by Thomas Klikauer (October 12, 2021 ) |
Mike Healy
Marx and Digital Machines: Alienation, Technology, Capitalism
University of Westminster Press, London, 2020, xi+156pp., £ 19,99
ISBN 9781-912656790Ever since German philosopher Hegel discussed alienation and Karl Marx converted it into the sensible framework of the economics of capitalism, alienation isn’t really a new subject–many might even think all has been said. Yet, Healy’s exquisite book applies several recent frameworks of alienation to two groups of workers–IT workers and academics. His book delivers surprising insights and results. Healy has divided his book into eight short and very readable chapters starting with a conceptual chapter on “alienation”. The book’s key empirical chapters are on IT professionals.

Covid Totalitarianism: The Deification of Error
7 October 2021 — John Waters Unchained
Belgian psychologist Dr. Mattias Desmet may be the most articulate voice on the most clear and present danger facing us: the mob-baiting now being pursued by formerly democratic governments.
The most significant obstacle to our developing the necessary capacity to fight back against what is engulfing us is an imaginative block preventing us conceiving of the possibility that what seems to be happening could actually be happening. These things could not be happening here, now, for the very simple reason that they are the kind of thing that used to happen far away, in different times, to people who were not as ‘intelligent’ or ‘educated’ or ‘advanced’ as we are.

The Climate Bomb: Failures to Confront the Unspeakable, and The Way Ahead
14 October 2021 — Global Research
Part II
In the last 50 years there have been two major threats to life on our planet. The first, the nuclear arms race and its near disaster of 1962, was narrowly averted by President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy, who then set a course for peace. [There’s a PART I to this essay but I have been unable to locate it. WB]The second, the ticking climate bomb on its short “business as usual” fuse, has no solution in sight.

Capitalism has no endgame besides collapse & feudalistic warfare
15 October 2021 — See You in 2020
I got the image above from hereIn the future that capital and empire are creating, the ones with the power will be people like Erik Prince. The ultra-wealthy oligarchs that have created private armies, and can hold a monopoly on violence in a world where even the imperialist countries have largely devolved into failed states. This type of dystopian vision for what could come after capitalism collapses has been called techno-feudalism. A reversion to the socioeconomic system that produced capitalism, one where the new feudal lords have the powers of modern weaponry.

US Writes Belarus into Its Familiar Regime-Change Script
14 October 2021 — MintPress News
MINSK, BELARUS — Quietly, the U.S. national security state is turning up the heat on Belarus, hoping that the ex-Soviet country of 9 million will be the next casualty of its regime-change agenda. This sentiment was made clear in President Joe Biden’s recent speech at the United Nations General Assembly. Biden announced that the U.S. would pursue “relentless diplomacy” finding “new ways of lifting people up around the world, of renewing and defending democracy.” The 46th president was explicit in whom he meant by this: “The democratic world is everywhere. It lives in the anti-corruption activists, the human rights defenders, the journalists, the peace protestors on the frontlines of this struggle in Belarus, Burma, Syria, Cuba [and] Venezuela,” he said, putting Belarus first on the list of states in desperate need of a change in government.
