- We need to recognize that the environmental crisis of climate change is a direct result of this global political/economic system of neoliberal capitalism.
- Said system needs to be replaced with one that eliminates the hierarchical inequalities that created this and other crises - one that rids us of greed, competition and pursuit of profit and money.

What does the species of human civilization need, now more than ever?

You know ... when someone contacts me and uses the word 'stalk' as it's meant, I'm generally not inclined to view that positively.
Judge for yourself this statement -
'I don't usually stalk profiles, but when I do, I probably have a career opportunity for you'
I'll pass.
It's pretty obvious why the US establishment media doesn't really want to talk about the true relationship between Epstein and various politicians and others in power and business.
It would reveal that -
- Epstein was in the employment of Israel.
- The entire operation that he and Maxwell ran, was designed to keep those ensnared under their control.
- Blue No Matter Who leads to the same shit as MAGA Red. It would establish once and for all, that the United States isn't a democracy, and never was.
Should I be concerned for South Africa?
After all, they are (I believe) the 'S' in BRICS.
Somehow I have to wonder if US Hegemony is behind all of this.
On the other hand ... maybe's it's just plain ole' neoliberal capitalism at work ...
The ANC’s abandonment of the socialist policies it espoused in its iconic 1955 Freedom Charter for a pro-business, neoliberal approach in government has left apartheid more or less intact, materially speaking. With an official unemployment rate that has hovered above 30 percent for much of the 30 years, two of every three Black South Africans remain mired in poverty, or roughly 30 million people out of a total population of 52 million; the percentage of white South Africans living in poverty is about 1 percent.
Similarly, whites account for 7.3 percent of the population but continue to own nearly three-quarters of all farmland while Blacks account for 81 percent of the population yet own 4 percent of the land.
Meanwhile, ANC politicians’ penchant for living high off the hog while their constituents suffer, combined with a series of corruption scandals has turned public opinion against the ruling party. In 2022, a former intelligence officer accused South African President Cyril Ramaphosa of attempting to cover up the theft of $4 million in cash from his game farm in the northeastern Limpopo province.
Who doesn't like US military bases on their land? Ecuador, that's who!
Big Loss for US Empire: Ecuador Votes To Reject Foreign Military Bases
Ecuadorians reject Daniel Noboa’s attempt to change the constitution
One of Noboa’s key goals has been to change Ecuador’s constitution, which is one of the most progressive in the world.
Ecuador’s constitution bans foreign countries from creating military bases in its territory.
Noboa held a referendum on 16 November to try to change the constitution to permit the US to open military bases in Ecuador.
The measure was rejected in a landslide, with 61% of Ecuadorians voting against it, according to the official results from the National Electoral Council (CNE).
Hmm ... really?

Why are countries like China and Russia not being called out for weasling out (aka 'abstaining')?
It sure is a stain on humanity. A very bloody one.

Another month, another Saturday of work.
This time it'll be a little longer than normal.
We'll see how well things go. After all, it does apparently keep me employed.
As touched on before, to Zionists 'ceasefire' just means everyone ELSE stops fighting.

Inducing poverty and starvation is the worst form of terrorism, because it acts so slowly and day-by-day.
Those Zionists committing these crimes know this.
But this is no surprise to most black and brown people of world.
Before countries like India can truly move forward, they need to make their air breathable.
I mean seriously - AQI-400?
https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/11/12/delhi-chokes-as-pollution-rises-to-severe-levels/
Delhi chokes as pollution rises to severe levels
Delhi is officially recording AQI levels higher than 400, but many suspect that the real levels are much higher. According to the WHO, an AQI level above 50 is unhealthy to live in.
In India an AQI between 200 and 300 is considered “poor”, between 300 and 400 is “very poor”, and beyond 400 is “severe” for health.
For the World Health Organization (WHO), any AQI level above 50 is considered unhealthy.
The AQI remained above 400 on Wednesday as well and has been recording above 200 daily since mid-October.
Unofficial sources claim AQI levels in Delhi are even higher, with allegations emerging that the government is trying to manipulate and suppress the actual figures to avoid accountability.

America, a Banana Republic?
Gee, ya think?

To me, it's simply the next step in the collapse of US Crapitalism. Nothing more.

Boycott establishment media.
https://mondoweiss.net/2025/11/why-writers-must-boycott-the-new-york-times/
No, the New York Times isn't enough. It's all establishment media that must be cut off from attention and support.
That's the only tool the establishment has left - propaganda. Once that's gone, it's down the shitter for them.
The beginning of yet another fun week at work.
I feel like every time I arrive there (we're supposed to be there more than few times a week, and we're tracked for attendance, like school kids), I have a target on my back and every person is after me for things that aren't done.
Never mind the fact that all of this is part of a an effort that's supposed to launch in the not-too-distant future, 'or else'.
Yeah - as if I don't have enough problems - I'm also working next week Saturday (my day job),
Hooray.
It does make me wonder how much longer I can last in this business.

How did I miss this?

The US's 5 options for Attacking Venezuela.
Which one will they choose? Here's what Vijay Prashad suggests.
https://consortiumnews.com/2025/11/07/vijay-prashad-5-options-for-attacking-venezuela/
Scenario 1: The Brother Sam Option
Scenario 2: The Panama Option
Scenario 3: The Iraq Option
Scenario 4: The Gulf of Tonkin Option
Scenario 5: The Qasem Soleimani Option
Not sure about that last one, as Iran's government is still here, and has been since 1979.

Dick Cheney is dead.
May his legacy be that capitalism is a fundamentally broken sysyem; in that the victims of his actions - on behalf of his donors - never received justice while he was alive. And that system made all this possible.
Remember that.

Imagine if we tried this here in the US.
Of course to do that, we'd have to replace crapitalism with a system the prioritizes the needs of all, over the greed of a few.
Left-ruled Kerala becomes the first Indian state to eradicate extreme poverty
The Communist Party of India (Marxist)-led Left Democratic Alliance (LDF) government achieves a unique feat in India which, according to the World Bank, has the world’s largest number of extremely poor.
