The tech oligarchs’ world-abandoning project
* "Most people have the capacity for awe, to gasp at the jeweled beauty of a songbird or the otherworldliness of a whale’s exhalation or the intricate latticework of an ancient holy site. Children have the capacity for pure awe; so do 90-year-old actors in suborbital space. To experience awe is to dissolve into the swirl of the universe, to feel small in the best way. This sense of interconnection is also why we grieve when we witness strangers suffering, and feel the great sorrow of extinction. The fact that this capacity seems to be missing from the men who hold our collective fate in their hands is a personal loss for them – and an existential crisis for the rest of us."
"We are up against an ideology that has given up not only on the premise and promise of liberal democracy but on the livability of our shared world – on its beauty, on its people, on our children, on other species. There is something treasonous in this. Treasonous not to an abstraction like a flag or a nation, for we are not nationalists. But treasonous to the unspoken pact made with the web of life that sustains us." >>

"While American tech billionaires fret over the capabilities of Chinese AI, one national security advisor has a brilliant idea to flatten the competition: simply bomb their data centers to smithereens.
In a new report titled “Superpowers and AGI,” former Obama-era national security official Jacob Stokes calls for United States to begin preparing readiness drills in response to Chinese AI development — up to and including military strikes on the nation’s data centers, the South China Morning Post reported.
AGI, or artificial general intelligence, refers to the theoretical point at which an AI model achieves human, or superhuman, levels of reasoning and intelligence. Though the science is still out on whether such a system is even possible, Stokes’ report begins from the assumption that AGI is inevitable, and that if the US can’t get to it first, its military needs to prepare to take drastic action.
Referring to the US as a hypothetical “laggard state” behind China’s achievement of AGI, Stokes — now the deputy director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security, a prominent DC think tank — writes that the country could “try to sabotage the leading state’s AGI systems, either through physical infiltration or offensive cyber operations; that is, cyberattack.”"

@MissConstrue His selected subset of human characteristics seem to include a desire to be a character from a Marvel comic book. That he is where he is indicative of system failure at a list of levels.
Beyond that, he represents a certain fraction of us, speaking for the species as a whole. Whatever he represents, it seems to have found a proponent in this guy. He is into lethality, like a wannabe god, I'm thinking. A demigod, it would have to be. To me it seems that something inside of him is squished, and it comes out like this.
He is like a foil, and highlights the humanity of those he reviles.
To me he represents a case of social "might as well be called" evil, inviting us to take it literally, or metaphorically, whatever works. #democracy #fascism #militarism #evil

@miamiherald“What we’re seeing in Gaza, in Lebanon, in Iran right now, it’s a natural extension of a machinery of death and destruction, spiralling out of control from the status quo of unbridled, unfettered, unregulated militarism. The US military is the world’s largest institutional polluter. 800 to 1,000 bases around the world. Every base is a story of contamination”

‘ #NDP Leader Avi Lewis issued the following statement:
The federal government’s proposed “Defence, Security and Resilience Bank” sounds technocratic and reassuring. It’s not. This is an international war bank to be located in Canada. It will further the militarization of our economy, and it’s a major development that deserves a thorough public debate.’https://www.ndp.ca/news/reaction-ndp-leader-avi-proposed-defence-security-and-resilience-bank

Here’s the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard in my nearly 50 years of life. And I’ve heard a lot.
Netflix has acquired the rights to stream the Russian animated series “Masha and the Bear.” It portrays Russian #militarism and #fascism as fun and harmless (for example, Masha wears an NKVD cap—which is like wearing an SS uniform).
This is a double whammy: the Russians are making a product with #fascist narratives for children, and #Netflix is selling it.
Repost it.

RE: https://mastox.eu/@GazaFFlotilla/116652109082145687
The contradictions between what is claimed and what is actual are reaching record levels. That a populace is able to sustain these levels is an index on its cultural integrity, the integrity of the system that binds the individual to the society. Only "unthinking" people can sustain such contradictions reliably. An unthinking populace is the demagogue's ideal soil. This populace will become the stuff from which empires build their substance. The populace, in such cases, is agreeing to not participate in decision making. It is the innocence of the child in need of a parent. Those who escape this mentality must deal with those who do not escape it. #genocide #militarism

"On April 21, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi officially announced that Japan had lifted a decades-old ban on exporting lethal weapons. The new offer concerns at least seventeen countries as potential buyers for Japanese fighter jets, missiles, and warships.
The move came in a period of strongly rising militarism. Japan and Australia had only days before signed a $7 billion deal for Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to build eleven warships for the Royal Australian Navy. That same week, Japan’s Self-Defense Forces (SDF) began participating as combatants in the US-Philippines Balikatan 2026 exercises for the first time, during which it has since tested its Type-88 surface-to-ship missile, marking the first time Japan has launched an offensive weapon abroad since the end of World War II.
Takaichi’s April 21 announcement also coincided with reports that she had sent a ritual offering to the Yasukuni Shrine, which honors Japan’s war dead, including over a thousand convicted war criminals from World War II. This number includes former Prime Minister Tojo Hideki and general Matsui Iwane, who explicitly ordered his soldiers to carry out mass executions of civilians across Nanjing as the Imperial Japanese Army laid siege to the Chinese city from December 1937."

Shocking! "...four months after its establishment, the board’s financial fund set up by the World Bank has received no money from donors, according to four people familiar with the matter. 'Zero dollars have been deposited,' one said."

Paywalled (sorry!) but final paragraph is interesting: "America’s sway over the Middle East is broken. #Iran will probably emerge as a regional force with which others must come to terms. #Ukraine will at minimum be a key partner of any post-US #Nato. In very different ways, Kyiv and Tehran are showing the world how to bring a colossus low. #Taiwan is not the only country that is studying these lessons closely." #Politics #USPol #Militarism https://www.ft.com/content/c42e90d2-063a-4bd1-b6b3-4c34db482ed8?syn-25a6b1a6=1

"Trump could have adhered to the JCPOA, and had Iran tried to sprint to a bomb—and no evidence exists that Tehran was doing so in 2026—he could have blamed Obama, made the case to Congress for war, and launched military action. Faced with the ticking clock of an imminent Iranian nuclear test, even Trump’s most dedicated opponents at home and abroad would likely have lent their support. Instead (...) he decided that he would seek glory as the liberator of Iran.
(...)
Now the president will end up having to sign off on a set of terms that will likely make the JCPOA look demanding by comparison. Trump began this war assuming that all other issues—nuclear weapons, terrorism, Iran’s regional adventurism—would vanish when the regime was toppled. When that didn’t happen, he had no plan for what to do next, and he seems to have settled on preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons as the central explanation, not only for why he went to war, but for why Americans must now suffer the economic effects of the conflict. The Iranians may well promise to forswear a nuclear program—as they did to Obama a decade ago—but for now, they are not only presenting themselves as the aggrieved party, they’re behaving like the victors: setting demands, making the Americans negotiate the status of the Strait of Hormuz, and kicking the nuclear question down the road.Yesterday, the president told Axios that the chance of reaching an agreement with the Iranians was a “solid 50/50,” and that he either would accept a “good” deal or “blow them to kingdom come.” Neither of these things is going to happen. Instead, a piece of paper will, at some point, come out of a meeting room in Pakistan. It will certify that the United States must accept a major strategic defeat in the Middle East. And Donald Trump, who brought America to this point because of his ego and his incompetence, will sign it."

As Election Nears, Kelly Warns #Trump Would Rule Like a #Dictator
#JohnKelly, the Trump White House’s longest-serving chief of staff, said that he believed that #DonaldTrump met the definition of a #fascist.
By Michael S. Schmidt
Oct. 22, 2024"In response to a question about whether he thought Mr. Trump was a fascist, Mr. Kelly first read aloud a definition of fascism that he had found online.
"'Well, looking at the definition of fascism: It’s a #FarFight #authoritarian, #ultranationalist political ideology and movement characterized by a #dictatorial leader, centralized #autocracy, #militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy,' he said."

#ApacheStronghold at #MartinLutherKingJr's #MontgomeryAlabama Dexter Avenue Baptist Church
"We ask you to please keep us in your prayers as we move East to continue our prayer journey to the #SupremeCourt to stop the shattering of the human existence and to protect #MotherEarth. It’s time to wake up the people of this country to stop the desecration of all our spiritual connection to Mother Earth and #Usen (God)."
By Apache Stronghold, #CensoredNews, September 1, 2024
MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- "The Apache Stronghold made a stop on their Journey of Prayer to the Supreme Court in the city of Montgomery, Alabama, the birthplace of the civil rights movement and home of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church where Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. first served as a full-time pastor.
"This church and Dr. King played a central role in uniting the local community in the struggle against what King called the evils of #materialism, #militarism, and #racism.
"The Stronghold was reminded that in 2013, Dr. #WendslerNosieSr., in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, received the Presidential Award from the National Progressive Baptist Convention, becoming the first #NativeAmerican to receive the award.
"Dr. Nosie remembered how humbling it was that people in the East thought of him in the West and that these struggles for civil and human rights are connected to what this whole journey to the supreme court is all about.
"The struggle for freedom continues as Dr. Nosie reflected, 'It’s time to use all our combined voices for civil and human rights to fight for Mother Earth, the greatest gift God has given us.' So far on this journey we are happy to see that the churches are bringing in the importance of protecting Mother Earth. We have to make the air, the water, the earth a priority because we will only be able to stop the shattering of human existence by protecting God’s greatest gift, our Mother Earth."

From VU for Palestine:
"After thee days and three nights protesting the ongoing Dutch military complicity in genocide, apartheid, occupation, and colonization in Palestine and around the world. Al-Jaouni encampment has been evicted ‼️🚨 this morning at 4:40 the military police chose to forcibly and violently evict. They all of a sudden encircled the camp, enclosing us, with barking dogs. Ordering us to leave within 5 minutes while people still were asleep. This is unacceptable. End dutch complicity! We will not stop, we will not rest. Free Palestine, stop the genocide!"
