Civilization2's JournalNuke power is a money pit and a terrible danger to the future,. our children get the mess!
Nuke power is always a money pit; every construction, every operation, every cleanup = stolen money from the future.
The 'operators' are never made financially responsible for all the future dealings with the mess they are making today. It is foisted on future generations. Those who had no say in what mess is left for them.
Nuke energy is stealing from our children so some 1% arsehole can make a quick buck today!
There is more than enough energy coming from the sun every day to safely run the planet, only corporate tools say otherwise and some ignorant people believe it.
The US military is all about defending CORPORATE INTERESTS,. not the people of America!!!
All the costs that are stolen from the people through taxes, and debts foisted upon us for these wars and mass surveillance systems are purely for the private interests of the 1%, the banksters, and the corporations they control and profit from.
What they want are "Obedient workers",. .
"The real owners are the big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions. Forget the politicians, they're an irrelevancy. The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice. You don't. You have no choice. You have owners. They own you. They own everything. They own all the important land. They own and control the corporations. They've long since bought and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the statehouses, the city halls. They've got the judges in their back pockets. And they own all the big media companies, so that they control just about all of the news and information you hear. They've got you by the balls. They spend billions of dollars every year lobbying, lobbying to get what they want. Well, we know what they want; they want more for themselves and less for everybody else.
But I'll tell you what they don't want. They don't want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking. They don't want well-informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. They're not interested in that. That doesn't help them. That's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly they're getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard 30 fucking years ago.
You know what they want? Obedient workers people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And now, they're coming for your Social Security. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all, sooner or later,. because they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club."
- G. Carlin
Only real security threat is "the security of the state, from its own population"! Nice ;)
"So you can't, seriously on the one hand, be not only carrying out massive terror, but even generate potential terrorists against yourself, and claim that we have to have massive surveillance to protect ourselves against terror. Thats a joke. There should be headlines."
The guy is very clever ,informed, and has made a massive study of the american state, he always gives amazingly clear analysis. He goes on the talk about the war criminals and terrorists the US will not extradite to other countries, and yet the US calls for the extradition of Snowden, Chomsky calls out the massive hypocrisy.
There is loads more out now than just greenwald's disclosures, why keep your head in the sand?
Do you see this simply as an attack on Obama? It is not. Why can't you see this started long ago, well before bush jr. even. 9/11 was jsut a catalyst to the corporate security state buildup,. criticising the corporate coup, is not a partisan critique, it is an issue of elemental democracy.
Sometimes the truth is difficult, however it must be dealt with,. denialism is a lie based reality and leads nowhere but down.
Obama has expanded on the Bush era programs and attempted to codify them in law,. Is this good?
Sorry to bust up your "leakers are all tools of China/Rethugs/??" stroke-fest, however the facts are the facts. This administration is going rather hard at Snowden, and more leakers are coming forward, and more dots are being connected. I get that you would rather maintain your denialism, and continue your complete lack or critical thought, in your partisan party pushing,. but some of us actually do criticise when we see wrongdoing. From anyone!
The spying is egregious overreach, handed over to corporate mercenaries, with ZERO accountability. Do you really see this as a good thing? or do you just puppet the party-line, no matter what it is? Because that is more than a little bit pathetic, and dare I say very much anti-american. Yes the Demos tend to be better for people than the rethugs, but they do not get a free-pass to run rampant over the law and rights, with no accountability to the people.
yup, give seeds to the children,.
Money may not grow on trees, however food grows right out of the ground.
