Hollywood and Broadway rule the World. All "meaningful" and "important work" in the World is "juiced" in the vegetable juice extractors of Hollywood and Broadway and secondarily through Rome. Gays, Lesbians, Blacks, and Women, by Holy Decree, are the "problem solvers" of Planet Earth. Whites, Intellectuals and Existentialists are the trash.
But isn't this worn, hackneyed, dystopian, and dysfunctional "Social Justice System" more broken and frayed than the Antebellum System it pretends to battle? The fact that Hollywood, Broadway, The Pope, and his Holiness's minions fight "The Antebellum South" in the year 2025 shows you how forward-looking all of these "futurists" are.
In 2024-2025, Hollywood is focused on addressing diversity, representation, and labor rights, particularly with ongoing strikes for fair pay and working conditions. Broadway is tackling racial equity, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental sustainability, while the Pope continues to advocate for global peace, refugees, and climate action.
Frankenfood Laced With Chain Molecule Toxins - Ultra-Cheap to Them, Expensive For You

Biotech companies Bayer, Syngenta, BASF, and Corteva argue that GMOs will help solve world food insecurity and climate change. Their claims of 'equivalency' to real food hide a much darker reality. These companies have used GMOs to consolidate immense power over the agricultural industry, governments, and the populace. While they assure us that GMOs are 'safe,' they are also fostering a system of chemical dependency, environmental degradation, and public health risks all hidden behind expensive PR campaigns and political lobbying. The urgency of this issue cannot be overstated.
Monopolistic Control of Global Food Systems
But there are alternatives. Organic farming and alternative sustainable agricultural methodologies would overcome the crisis in diversified forms to keep up with biodiversity and reduced use of chemicals for safety in food. Such a wide, across-the-board adoption of organic methods may create a healthy alternative market and threaten to displace such biotechnology giants and move toward truly healthier, more sustainable systems.

Where there is no vision the people are lost.
The latest report is that Israel has carried out 480 air strikes on territory of the former Syria and Israeli troops are moving deeper into the country. Netanyahu claims credit for Syria’s overthrow which he said is “a historic day in the history of the Middle East.” It certainly opens up the Middle East to Greater Israel.
Israel said that Syria’s fall has isolated and weakened Iran’s position and now is the time for Israel to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities. https://www.rt.com/news/609279-israel-iran-strikes-report/
The NATO secretary-general has instructed NATO members to cut spending on social services and divert the money to military spending. Security matters more than social welfare , said the secretary-general, and Europe must prepare to defend itself from aggressive Russia. Of course, it is Russia that is failing to defend herself and her allies from the aggressive West.
AI Authoritarianism: The Faceless, Bodiless Enemy Within
Chris Spencer
Is it open season for CEOs? Or did the wrong culprit get shot? CEOs and Doctors don't deny us medical care; bots, robots, and network AIs decide who lives and dies. Luigi Mangione shot the masthead avatar and left the mast intact…
Network bots and algorithms-the new jack-booted stormtroopers? Until recently, AI making "medical mistakes" for profit would have seemed almost dystopian in their implications. Yet, today, digital authoritarianism is no longer a theoretical concern. It is here now, and it is remaking our world's social, political, and economic fabric in ways that are far more insidious-and far more dangerous-than many realize. The tools of this new form of control are not soldiers or tanks but algorithms, bots, and artificial intelligence systems. The threat is not from visible power structures; it's the invisible hand of technology, controlling and manipulating people from within the very systems they use daily. Your perception is no longer your perception.

In November, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze announced the ruling Georgian Dream Party’s decision to pause all accession talks with the European Union until 2028. This led to widespread public outcry in the small Caucasian nation, drawing support from Georgia’s President Salome Zourabichvili.
The protests show no signs of slowing down. With a large section of the country’s populace out on the streets, the Georgian police have cracked down on the protesters. Countries such as Lithuania have called for wider sanctions against the Georgian PM and various other key figures associated with the Georgian Dream party.
That said, why did Georgia suddenly take a U-turn regarding its potential EU membership?

Mining for lithium in the Salton Sea: a double-edged sword. As the demand for clean energy rises, the push to extract Lithium brings new risks - ntroducing radium and uranium pollution to an already toxic landscape. The environmental cost of faux-green energy comes into sharper focus.
When Gavin Newsom was elected Governor of California in 2018, he inherited the largest agricultural economy in the United States, with the potential to lead the state-and the country-into a new era of environmental sustainability. As a progressive, Newsom espoused bold promises of "green" innovation, aiming to revolutionize California into a beacon of climate-friendly technology. Yet, as his time in office has unfolded, the governor has become embroiled in a series of socio-economic debacles that have raised serious questions about his vision and leadership. From the loss of businesses and residents fleeing the state, to misguided "green" policies now seen as producing more harm than good, Newsom has squandered numerous opportunities to create a truly sustainable, self-sufficient California. This is a critical moment to ask: is Newsom a visionary leader, or has his unbridled ambition for higher office led him to trade one form of pollution for another?

The U.S. national debt just passed $36 trillion, only four months after it passed $35 trillion and up $2 trillion for the year. Third quarter data is not yet available, but interest payments as a percent of tax receipts rose to 37.8% in the third quarter of 2024, the highest since 1996. That means interest is eating up over one-third of our tax revenues.
Total interest for the fiscal year hit $1.16 trillion, topping one trillion for the first time ever. That breaks down to $3 billion per day. For comparative purposes, an estimated $11 billion, or less than four days’ federal interest, would pay the median rent for all the homeless people in America for a year. The damage from Hurricane Helene in North Carolina alone is estimated at $53.6 billion, for which the state is expected to receive only $13.6 billion in federal support. The $40 billion funding gap is a sum we pay in less than two weeks in interest on the federal debt.
The current debt trajectory is clearly unsustainable, but what can be done about it? Raising taxes and trimming the budget can slow future growth of the debt, but they are unable to fix the underlying problem — a debt grown so massive that just the interest on it is crowding out expenditures on the public goods that are the primary purpose of government.

Opednews.com resembles Goerge Orwell's Animal Farm
In this time of manipulated truths, sites like OpEdNews.com have cropped up as alternatives to the corporate-controlled mainstream media. Initially, these sites posed as havens for independent journalism and free speech, affording space to those marginalized by the traditional outlets. As OpEdNews grew, however, it increasingly mimicked the structures it initially positioned itself against, taking on an increasingly authoritarian stance towards editorial control, censorship, and ideological purity at the cost of a very substantial erosion of trust from readers.
Despite Rob Kall, the founder of OpEdNews, presenting himself as a champion of free speech and alternative voices, the website's editorial policies and treatment of dissenting writers reveal a more insidious reality. As OpEdNews has grown, its tactics bear uncomfortable similarities to those employed by the U.S. government in historic operations such as COINTELPRO, CIA's Operation Chaos, and the more covert Project Mockingbird. These operations were designed to suppress, control, and manipulate political dissent. The parallels with the censoring activities of OpEdNews, in contrast with such state-oriented surveillance and control activities, raise serious concerns about its commitment to free speech and independent journalism.

The Making of Genocide on Screen
Is PM Netanyahu an egomaniac leader to Israelis? Most would question his delusional hold on power and demand his resignation but agree, he made Gaza inhabitable and delivered impunity from foreign dictates to the naked eyes of the conscientious world. To a rational observer, human understanding cannot be tempered with impunity for crimes against the civilian population. His arrest warrant by the ICC is often a puzzle as nobody would enforce its implementation. The latest report by Amnesty International confirms the ‘crime against humanity’ and Genocide’ were committed by the Israeli forces on Gaza. “Hell on Earth” – The UN Secretary General warns the conscientious global community of appalling and catastrophic conditions in Gaza from all spectrum of reason with more than 44,000 civilian massacred, more than 100,355 injured, more than 16,000 children and women massacred and 16,000 or more women and children still buried under rubble and unaccounted for, and the rest of humanity under continuous bombardment by the Israeli war machines supported and aided by the US supplied weapons of mass destruction. Even the hospitals, places of worship, schools, graveyards and safe zones are not spared by the Israeli war machines. Israeli leaders reportedly have dropped more than four equal to Hiroshima nuclear bombs on Gaza. International observers spell out the tragic events: words cannot describe the humanitarian calamities and sufferings of the besieged people of Gaza and the West Bank.

The most disturbing phenomena within global political discourse are genocide technologies, manipulation of media, and Precrime strategies. These mind-control critical junctures between ethics, power, and technology affect the lives of billions of individuals and broader societal structures. Whereas surveillance has gone beyond governments into private enterprise, media manipulation has moved way beyond with big data and algorithmic AI precision.
Precrime- the notion of acting before violence or terrorism occurs - began in science fiction but has increasingly found its way into real world abusive, rights-denying security and policing strategies. Intelligence agencies at the center of such developments include Unit 8200 and Mossad of Israel, whose use of surveillance technologies has international ramifications. This essay examines the intersection of surveillance, media manipulation, and Precrime intelligence, focusing on Israel's operations in Gaza and its international relevance.
