Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations. Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind.
Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 3 “Reading” (1854)More about this quote: wist.info/thoreau-henry-david/…

Maybe you don’t see yourself as a role model… but someone else might be living a part of their life because of the way you live yours.
You never know who is watching, learning, and quietly being inspired by you.

"In 2023, 60 per cent of Australians rejected a constitutionally recognised Voice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A body that could only make representations, only on matters concerning the people whose ancestors have been here sixty thousand years.
"Too much, the No campaign shrieked. Division. Privilege. Special treatment.
"Nine months later, Anthony Albanese handed Jillian Segal what the Voice never dreamed of asking for. Not a right to be heard. Power. No election. No parliamentary vote. No hearing. A three year commission reporting personally to the Prime Minister, with a mandate reaching into every campus, newsroom, classroom, gallery, charity, arts contract and visa file in the Commonwealth."Andrew Brown writes: https://michaelwest.com.au/the-segal-state-the-office-australia-never-voted-for/

China builds roads, railways, bridges, airports and the rest across Africa!!
What does the US Imperium do? Engage in psyops!
F*cking typical!
“Collapsing Empire: US creates new African psyops unit”
Kit Klarenberg in Al Mayadeen English
@[email protected]
@africacenter
@[email protected]“The Pentagon has activated a new psychological operations unit targeting Africa, tasked with ‘expanding the military’s ability to influence foreign audiences’ across the continent. The heavily hyped launch occurs against a backdrop of dramatically and irreversibly waning Western influence and power in every sphere across the continent. As Africans steadily rid themselves of unwelcome foreign occupiers and oppressors, the US is forced to rely on strategies of manipulation to stem the tide, which have already failed spectacularly. They will surely misfire yet again”

The #FCC’s commissioners voted 2-1 to replace the cap, which prevents a company from owning broadcasting stations that collectively reach more than 39% of #US households, with a case-by-case review. The agency has said that the new process would “empower the FCC to approve deals that promote the public interest while allowing the agency to reject any deals that do not meet that standard.”

Where China Undermines Its Own Influence
中国如何削弱自身影响力
By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News
Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — August 3, 2026 — 17:35
China’s greatest challenge is not external opposition.
It is the gap between what it builds and how it behaves.
That gap is where influence is lost.
Strength Without Alignment
China has demonstrated the ability to build long-term influence through infrastructure, trade, and industrial capacity. These are durable foundations. They create opportunity and interdependence across regions.
But influence is not built on capability alone. It depends on whether others feel secure engaging with that capability.
When actions introduce uncertainty, the value of long-term investment is reduced by short-term risk.
This creates a contradiction.
Countries see benefit. They also see exposure.
Mixed Signals
In many parts of Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, China’s presence is defined by two competing realities.
On one hand, there is economic engagement—trade, investment, development.
On the other, there is sustained pressure in contested areas, particularly in maritime zones.
These signals do not align.
One invites cooperation. The other creates caution.
Countries respond accordingly. They participate where it is beneficial, and they protect themselves where they feel vulnerable.
This is not rejection. It is adjustment.
The Cost of Ambiguity
Ambiguity can be useful in strategy. It allows flexibility and avoids commitments that limit options.
But when ambiguity affects how actions are interpreted, it creates instability.
If neighboring countries cannot clearly determine where boundaries exist—legal, operational, or strategic—they assume the worst-case scenario.
That assumption shapes behavior.
It leads to increased coordination among states, stronger external partnerships, and a steady shift toward balancing strategies.
Ambiguity intended to preserve freedom of action ends up narrowing it.
Perception as Reality
China often frames its actions as defensive, administrative, or historically justified.
Those internal explanations are consistent within its own system.
Externally, they are interpreted differently.
Perception is not controlled by intent. It is shaped by observation.
When actions appear coercive, they are treated as coercive, regardless of how they are described.
That disconnect matters.
It creates a situation where China believes it is acting within reason, while others believe they are responding to pressure.
The Regional Response
The response across the region has been consistent, even if it is not always coordinated.
Countries maintain economic ties with China while expanding security relationships elsewhere. They increase defense cooperation. They participate in multilateral frameworks that provide balance.
This is not escalation for its own sake.
It is a reaction to perceived risk.
The more persistent the pressure, the more persistent the response.
The Taiwan Signal
Taiwan remains the most significant indicator of how this pattern could evolve.
If China chooses to resolve Taiwan through force, it will not be seen as an isolated action. It will be interpreted as confirmation of how China applies power when faced with limits.
That interpretation will extend far beyond Taiwan.
It will influence how every country in the region assesses its own position, its own vulnerabilities, and its own future relationship with China.
The impact will not be temporary.
It will redefine alignment.
What This Means Going Forward
China does not lack the tools to build influence. It has already demonstrated that capability.
The issue is whether those tools are being used in a way that reinforces or undermines the outcomes they are meant to achieve.
Long-term investments require long-term confidence.
If actions create doubt about future behavior, that confidence erodes.
Influence becomes conditional instead of durable.
The Bottom Line
China is building a system of influence.
At the same time, it is taking actions that cause others to build systems to manage or resist that influence.
Those two processes cannot continue indefinitely without conflict between them.
The question is not whether China can project power.
The question is whether it can align its behavior with the kind of influence it is trying to build.

Calling works.
Most people believe politicians do not listen. BUT
'The thresholds that move these offices are correspondingly small:
- 10 calls in an hour catches attention
- 50 calls in a day pulls the senior team
- 100 calls in a day clears every other item off the docket
- 1,000 calls creates a record the office cannot ignore, and will surface in the next election cycle.One real phone call outweighs hundreds of templated messages.'

@UKLabour“Exclusive: Since July 2024, donors have paid for MPs to go on some 658 overseas junkets, at a cost of £2.2m. The majority were funded by private companies, charities or wealthy individuals.
But we found 165 trips were either funded by the foreign government concerned, or by UK-based ‘Friends Of’ groups dedicated to promoting the country in Westminster.
In total, these 165 trips were valued at almost £695,000”

Amnesty International had a report that accurately called out J.K. Rowling's institutional attack on trans women. The success writer successfully bullied the human rights organization into taking down the report.
The move is so repulsive and such a display of her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.
The decision also makes me wonder how the most settled NGO responds to pressure.https://www.thepinknews.com/2026/07/13/amnesty-international-uk-jk-rowling-beiras-place/

This summary seems broadly accurate and demonstrates how pathetic curbs on the funding of politics are within the UK. We have to change it. And I don't just mean from overseas. Why the FUCK can large companies buy influence on the NHS, or energy or. host of other things.

@thenewoil Thinking that Meta would choose to keep users thoughts/emotions read only would be naive.
If their AI's can access and read users emotions, they can use their outputs to influence emotions, as Meta's much cruder 2012 study showed.
That pales in comparison to what would be possible now.
The importance of transparency in what the algorithms show you and why has never been more important.

Nos pensées et nos émotions
Nous aimons croire que nos pensées et nos émotions sont uniquement générées par nous. Avec l’expérience, nous devons reconnaître qu’il faut du travail et l’entraînement de l’esprit pour savoir reconnaître celles-ci que nous croyions intimes, mais qui ne nous sont pas propres. Beaucoup d’image et de sensations nous sont dictées par la publicité, et, dans les faits, ils sont implantés en nous.
Par l’entraînement de l’esprit, du travail et de la patience, il est possible de rejoindre notre vraie nature, notre chemin personnel.
C’est simplement une démarche de réappropriation de notre pouvoir d’agir.
