The current Color revolution doesn't have adequate answers.

Consider the Oak Gall Wasp. It flies up to an Oak tree, injects it with an hormone and the tree makes it a home and start bringing food to it. That's the sort of rebelution needed.

Architecture is the container for all human's activities. Let it be natural architecture.





Indoor hydroponic farming needs less water and real estate that traditional.

It pays to poke your head up once in a while and look around.

Peace is breaking out all over the Middle East, due to the USofA not needing other people' oil. Fuller predicted the military shift from 'killingry' to 'livingry' (distributing medicinals).

The unnamed alliance of sovereign Islamic states joining Isreal gets bigger almost weekly.
This is bad news for Iran and Russia.

Re: "Peace breaking out in the Middle East due to more domestic oil production"

I don't buy it. I deleted the overtly political commentary I was writing. For the current administration the warfare is much about r _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (the other subject we're not supposed to talk about here).

Fuller's predicted outcome is nowhere to be found.

I suspect the military standing by to deliver the first vetted vaccine is theater.

100 million doses? I don't know how many doses in a cubic foot or cubic meter but
Fed Ex could likely do the job, or those Piggily Wiggily trucks like in Close Encounters.*

Peace is breaking out all over because the military counter-coup against the corrupted Washington establishment and their 16-year plan is beginning to bear results. Shadilay.

Re: Last, cryptic paragraph

You buy that swamp cleaning rhetoric?!

That fringe nonsense, again? I think you're very much risking your 'membership' here. Either way, you should keep that where it belongs.

I don't know what can and can't be talked about because I don't run nor own this site.

Noam Chomsky is good. Economist Richard Wolff is interesting. But you seem like a mixed bag or right-libertarian, which seems like an oxymoron.

I couldn't agree more. I try to poke around in the corners of the box we're in.

I really appreciated Manufacturing Consent, but Chomsky seems less compelling lately.

Don't know Richard Wolff but Wikipedia says:
Quote:
In July 2015, Wolff endorsed Massachusetts physician and Green Party candidate Jill Stein for President.
So did I! But I voted for Jill Stein because I knew who was going to win and I didn't want people slagging me for aiding and abetting. Didn't help. One guy accused me of personally causing the Hill-gal to lose because I threw away my vote.

As for mixed bag/right-libertarian, maybe... I haven't taken the Moral Compass test because I think it's a data mining ploy. In my own mind I'm center-center.

'No I don't need to take a stand. I can disappear into the mean/mode/average of the bell curve.'

I listened to Chomsky on Alternative Radio (show) on Pacifica Radio (network) very recently and it was very good. As were Jeremy Scahill (The Intercept) on Democracy Now!, and Abby Martin (critical of both candidates) and Eleanor Goldfield on Project Censored. AR is usually not free; the others are.

I've been Green since I could register Green, but changed temporarily to vote for Sanders in a primary. The Greens have the best platform. The blues and reds platforms and/or voting records overlap quite a bit. I kind of think Nader was ~better than Stein. The systems are rigged and corporate and dark $$$$$$$ buy power and places at the table.
