Real wealth consists in things of utility and beauty, in things that help to create strong, beautiful bodies and surroundings inspiring to live in. But if man is doomed to wind cotton around a spool, or dig coal, or build roads for thirty years of his life, there can be no talk of wealth. What he gives to the world is only gray and hideous things, reflecting a dull and hideous existence,–too weak to live, too cowardly to die.
You can’t fix stupid. And yet, we don’t have to consume it, cheer it, accept it, tolerate it, obey it, worship it, support it, fund it, or justify it.

New film, In Symbiosis, looks at what’s gone wrong with food and farming (including the GMO and pesticides treadmill) and points to ways we can put them back on track towards greater sustainability and resilience.

Every sign could have said NO WAR WITH IRAN – END THE GENOCIDE but there is a reason those signs were few and far between if at all.

We ought to be more interested in whether this tool is more likely to be used by a desperate and inevitable loser, as we see in the case of Ukraine versus Russia, or it is more likely to be the tool of the imperial authoritarian state against the rebels?
Palantir, long criticized for its role in powering ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raids and predictive policing, is now poised to become the brain of Trump’s surveillance regime.
Beneath the antibody narrative lies a simpler truth, long championed by traditional healers and echoed in Stone’s critique: the body’s health stems from natural cleansing networks, not militaristic immune warfare.
A bankrupt liberal class, by signing on for the Zionist witch hunt against supposed antisemites and refusing to condemn Israel for its genocide, provided the bullets to its executioners.
