Soylent Green is, well, WEF and Davos and UN and Bill Gates and Greta Thunberg Food
I’ll put in my response to honorable Caitlin Johnstone’s most recent Substack, The News Has Nothing To Do With Newsworthiness.
She looks at how the mainstream media has consistently played the same game, the same headlines, the same shit that ramifies Empire, Consumerism, Exceptionalism, Elitism, Manifest Destiny, the Shining City on the Hill, God’s Great Land.
Then, she brings up Noam, and well, that’s a hell of a guy, no? Groupthink, she mentions is one effect of the mainstream media playing the same fiddle as Rome burns.
Since that time I’ve learned about the groupthink effect that working in the mainstream press tends to have on people’s minds according to those who’ve made careers there, and the fact that journalists who either don’t know how to or don’t care to dance to the the agenda-setting task of the plutocratic media don’t find themselves promoted to news editor.
I don’t think righteous folk like Caitlin really know what’s going on, way beyond shit show journalism and lock-step reporting (sic).
The Tech Fascist Titans, they are now ruling the world, and the lock-step Wall Street, Black Rock, CEOs, the lot of them, are all in line to get rid of dirty, stinking, defecating, urinating, burping, complaining, accident prone, boozing, eating, fornicating WORKERS.
You think there is a complete admonishment of these freaks? Again, the die has been cast. People are either checked out, accepting, throwbacks to the lament, “if it’s capitalism, technology, to help us, then, it must be good . . . sit back and accept it, Luddite.”
The Photo is of a INHUMANE piece of shit that will continue to get more and more and more $$, power, say, prime time bullshit stories.
Tech bros aren’t always known for their sensitivity.
In a recent profile in the New Yorker, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman compared his vision of AGI — artificial general intelligence — to a “median human.”
He said: “For me, AGI…is the equivalent of a median human that you could hire as a co-worker.”
It’s not the first time Altman has referred to a median human. In a 2022 podcast, Altman said this AI could “do anything that you’d be happy with a remote coworker doing just behind a computer, which includes learning how to go be a doctor, learning how to go be a very competent coder.”
Then, here, the great prognosticators:
These fast-growing startups are on a hiring spree—many pay $100,000 or more and are remote

Oh, the Oppen-Monster-Heimers, those Sam Fascist Altmans:
In a review article published in the journal Trends in Microbiology on September 26, a team of bacteriologists and plant scientists discuss the possibility of using genetic engineering to facilitate mutualistic relationships between plants and nitrogen-fixing microbes called “diazotrophs.” These engineered associations would help crops acquire nitrogen from the air by mimicking the mutualisms between legumes and nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
“Engineering associative diazotrophs to provide nitrogen to crops is a promising and relatively quickly realizable solution to the high cost and sustainability issues associated with synthetic nitrogen fertilizers,” writes the research team, led by senior author Jean-Michel Ané of the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Diazotrophs are species of soil bacteria and archaea that naturally “fix” atmospheric nitrogen into ammonium, a source that plants can use. Some of these microbes have formed mutualistic relationships with plants whereby the plants provide them with a source of carbon and a safe, low-oxygen home, and in return, they supply the plants with nitrogen. For example, legumes house nitrogen-fixing microbes in small nodules on their roots.
You see, this is the future of food — “vaccines in lettuce.”
You haven’t gotten your flak jacket out and the repeater pistol? Oh, let’s learn how to make napalm and C4 just to take a few of these fuckers out? First do no harm? Precautionary principle? DOn’t play g-d, GOD, goddamn god?
The future of vaccines may look more like eating a salad than getting a shot in the arm. UC Riverside scientists are studying whether they can turn edible plants like lettuce into mRNA vaccine factories.
Messenger RNA or mRNA technology, used in COVID-19 vaccines, works by teaching our cells to recognize and protect us against infectious diseases.
One of the challenges with this new technology is that it must be kept cold to maintain stability during transport and storage. If this new project is successful, plant-based mRNA vaccines — which can be eaten — could overcome this challenge with the ability to be stored at room temperature.
The project’s goals, made possible by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation, are threefold: showing that DNA containing the mRNA vaccines can be successfully delivered into the part of plant cells where it will replicate, demonstrating the plants can produce enough mRNA to rival a traditional shot, and finally, determining the right dosage.
“Ideally, a single plant would produce enough mRNA to vaccinate a single person,” said Juan Pablo Giraldo, an associate professor in UC Riverside’s Department of Botany and Plant Sciences who is leading the research, done in collaboration with scientists from UC San Diego and Carnegie Mellon University.
I was showing this documentary in 2004 through 2010. And here we are, who would have predicted?
The Future of Food by Deborah Koons Garcia tells the story behind genetically engineered food that ends up on grocery store shelves in the US. It investigates how these items can be unlabeled and patented, criticizing the fact that living organisms can be patented. This film examines the effect that international companies in the now globalised food industry are having on farmers. Some farmers in North America have even been sued by these large corporations. Furthermore, it argues that there is a risk if the world depends on these multinational companies that biodiversity could be negatively impacted. The Future of Food does offer hope and solutions in the form of sustainable organic agriculture. Not only would this support farmers who are being run off their land but also reduce society’s dependence on global food giants that want complete control.
Pretty “hopeful” in 2004. The people in the USA making documentaries just do not get the ile nature of American and Scientism Capitalism in the Hands of Eichmann’s and Oppenheimers and Sam Altmans and their backers/bankers/investors.
Imagine, robots, imagine, 5G, imagine satellites, wires, electricity, cloud servers, all the electric this and that? Just from thin air!
In the quest to address climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, detecting methane leaks—a potent contributor to global warming—has become increasingly vital. Researchers are harnessing the capabilities of cutting-edge satellite technology to monitor these leaks from space. The paper has been published in Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics.
How checked out is this now, satellites, again, in space, how? From cradle to grave, embedded/embodied energy, life cycle analysis, intended and unintended negative consequences.
Now, let’s talk about ‘super-emitters.’ While methane emitters refer to any source of methane ranging from natural processes like wetlands or human activities such as agriculture, methane super-emitters release a disproportionately large amount of methane compared to other emitters.
These are typically found among industrial facilities, such as oil and gas operations, coal mines, or even landfills, that have equipment or infrastructure issues leading to significant methane leaks.
These super-emitters are the low-hanging fruits in our quest to cut emissions. Fixing these super-emitters doesn’t require complex or expensive solutions. In many cases, relatively simple repairs can result in significant climate gains.
There’s a whole lot of shaking going on:
A series of shallow earthquakes has the potential to strike the Pacific Northwest of the US with similar devastating force to the San Francisco quake of 1906, or the catastrophe that killed tens of thousands of people in Turkey and Syria in February, according to scientists.
Researchers from the University of Arizona examined the rings of ancient and submerged trees to determine that several quakes that struck the western Washington region about 1,000 years ago — known as the millennial cluster — occurred either simultaneously to produce an estimated 7.8 magnitude quake, or in rapid succession, such as the powerful back-to-back temblors that devastated parts of the Middle East.
Finally, something up my ally, marine sciences, marine creatures.
Humpback whales frolicking in seaweed — a behavior known as “kelping” — is more widespread than previously thought and constitutes a “global phenomenon,” new research has found.
Kelping was first observed in 2007, and scientists have described the behavior before — but only as isolated events. It turns out, humpbacks across the world enjoy the leafy caress of seaweed on their skin, both as a form of play and as a potentially soothing body scrub.
“It’s something they do together as a social event or by themselves,” study lead author Olaf Meynecke, a research fellow at Griffith University’s Coastal and Marine Research Centre in Queensland, Australia, told Live Science. “They put the seaweed on their head and roll around in it; they try to move it around with their pectoral fins as well.”
This is the prime time mad mad mad mad mad world of the capitalist, the Great White Man’s Burden, the shit hole that science seems to have always been in so many arenas.
The Press? The Media? Propaganda? Noam Fucking Chomsky? Shit, enough said. Here’s my response to Caitlin’s latest short piece, not that I have vented, man, vented.
Oh, that Noam? In an interview recorded earlier this year, which went viral last month, the 92-year-old philosopher offered his views on mandating vaccines and while disagreeing with the policy, suggested those who refuse jabs “should” isolate to avoid becoming “a danger to the community”.
“People who refuse to accept vaccines, I think the right response for them is not to force them to but rather to insist that they be isolated,” Chomsky said. Asked how they would get food that way, he answered, “Well actually, that’s their problem.”

Bye Bye Chomsky.

Journalism. Yep, U of Arizona, worked for the Daily Wildcat while I studied biology and English. The school daily newspaper was run by students, not the Journalism program or professors. We worked our asses off, late nights, dug for stories, covered Tucson, the state, the college campus (40,000).
We found malfescene in the football program and animal vet program. We featured some cool research, did stories on activism, had a hell of an entertainment section, getting free back stage passes and interviews with all the rock and jazz and classical stars.
We argued like hell, our managing editor was a tyrant when it came to him marking up each published paper, as in what worked, what didn’t.
The Journalism program used our paper to show their concept of acceptable this or that.
THIS was a golden era, man. I did take some journalism courses, ended up in Tombstone on a lab newspaper, and we got internships with the various dailies and weeklies in Tucson, S. Arizona, and even in Phoenix and Flagstaff.
That was 1975-79.
Then, I worked for a small group of single owner newspapers in S. Arizona, along the US – Mexico border. More than a dozen beats, sister. Covering local politics, school boards, breaking news, cop shop, features, sports, you name it. Always on the go, nose to the community, and never ever FAKE news or BS news or spineless news.
Yes, I argued with the owner and editors, for sure.

There has been a deep quickening on many fronts in Western culture — it isn’t too complicated on how inverted totalitarianism has created fear, loathing (self), celebrity valorizing, skewed thinking, black and white fake arugmentation, top down hell, bad eduation getting worse, and the background to it all is a warring, thieving, murderous, snake oil sales, sucker born every nanosecond sort of collective ethos.
Chomsky? ANother charlatan, again, with those fake lefties (goy) bowing in his Epstein-loving presence.
Manufactured consent? His religious brother, Edward Bernays, wrote the book, Propaganda, and he coined capitalism on parasetic benders as Engineered Consent.

Oh, no, the planned pandemic and gutless Chomsky:
We can coin these colluding forces as — collective Stockholm Syndrome, Eichmann Disease, GAD — generalized Anxiety Disorder, SAD — social anxiety disorder; why not Good Little German disorder. Why not even call it brainwashing, green washing, demonization of the other. McDonaldization, Disneyfication, Walmartization, Infantilization, and on and on.
I’mm 66, lived in other countries, traveled, etc. So, as an 18 year old working my ass off at college, taking any number of courses from any number of departments, working as a real journalist, I have seen the slippage BIG time, real time.
Until 2020 hit (though some of us real journalists knew about Gates and Johns Hopkins and Event 201, and way before, we knew about bioweapons used by USA in Korean, on down the line).
These people in power are not just spineless, but monsters:
Project Censored was around when I was a college ENglish faculty at age 25. Read all about it:

Oh, Chomsky and the other non-journalist media creeps. Happy Hunting for real journalism!

In late 2021 and early 2022, it was commonplace for journalists and public intellectuals to demonize and shame “the unvaccinated,” a group that in the United States was disproportionately low income. The New York Times ran pieces like “I’m Furious at the Unvaccinated,” and “Unvaxxed, Unmasked and Putting Our Kids at Risk.” The Los Angeles Times published a column titled “Mocking anti-vaxxers’ COVID deaths is ghoulish, yes—but may be necessary.” An opinion piece called “The Unvaccinated Are a Risk to All of Us” appeared in Bloomberg, and The Washington Post printed a piece called “Macron is right: It’s time to make life a living hell for anti-vaxxers.”
CNN’s Don Lemon commented that people refusing the vaccines were being “idiotic and nonsensical.” He argued that it was time to “start shaming them” or “leave them behind.” Noam Chomsky, a self-described libertarian socialist, said unvaccinated people should remove themselves from society and be “isolated.” Asked how they would get food that way, he answered, “Well actually, that’s their problem.”
In Canada, columnists for the Toronto Star proclaimed, “Vaccine resisters are lazy and irresponsible—we need vaccine passports now to protect the rest of us” and “The unvaccinated cherish their freedom to harm others. How can we ever forgive them?” In the U.K., the Daily Mail contended, “It’s time to punish Britain’s 5 million vaccine refuseniks,” and Piers Morgan, a British presenter on TalkTV, suggested that unvaccinated people should not be allowed access to the country’s National Health Service.
Internationally, several politicians threatened to reimplement restrictions and told the public that “the unvaccinated” were at fault. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said unvaccinated people “are very often misogynistic and racist,” and asked, “Do we tolerate these people?” President Joe Biden said that his “patience [was] wearing thin” and that we needed to “protect vaccinated workers from unvaccinated coworkers.” Michael Gunner, chief minister of the Northern Territory in Australia, stated that even if you are vaccinated, “if you are anti-mandate, you are absolutely anti-vax.” French President Emmanuel Macron declared that 5 million French people who remained unvaccinated were “not citizens.”
Across parts of the United States, Canada, Australia, and Europe, unvaccinated people were fired from their jobs, excluded from higher education, banned from many sectors of public life, denied organ transplants, and even punished by judges in probation hearings and child custody cases. Meanwhile, COVID cases continued to rise in many highly vaccinated countries with vaccine passports and other restrictions in place.

Hell, more on that fucking Noam:
Back when I was a young anti-war, anti-establishment activist, I used to hold the utmost respect and admiration for Professor Noam Chomsky of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). To me, he was a firm pillar and one of the brightest minds out there: ever wise, poised, articulate, and correct on many different issues, especially those pertaining to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
Many years later and wiser, I find myself having substantial differences of opinion with this esteemed octogenarian fellow professor. For starters, there is much hypocrisy in his assertions and behavior now. For example, he seems to oppose the corporate oligarchy system until every two or four years when the elections arrive during which he parrots the “lesser-evil-ism” mantra ad nauseam.
And what about the fact that Chomsky has managed to keep his employment with MIT all along, tenured and now emeritus? It is a known fact that MIT is one of the most closely-related research universities affiliated with the Military Industrial Complex. If one is a true anti-war academic and what’s more a celebrity activist, could he ever really get tenured at such a college, especially at the height of the Vietnam War when Chomsky’s career was taking off at MIT?
Here is a list of other disgraceful stances that Professor Chomsky has been partaking in:
1) Professor Chomsky supports the existence of the belligerent Jewish state.
2) Professor Chomsky opposes the principles of the gradually-supposed-to-be-effective Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement.
3) Professor Chomsky supported the “no fly zone” and the subsequent utter destruction of Libya – a country that was the most prosperous African nation under the leadership of the crazy-yet-brilliant Mu’ammar Qaddafi which thanks to NATO is now a failed state run by ISIS savage gangsters and Al-Qaeda terrorist thugs.
4) Professor Chomsky considers President Basher Assad “an autocrat” and is somewhat comfortable with the continuous bombing of the great and resisting Syrian nation. The professor recently told Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now! Program: “Syria is a horrible catastrophe. The Assad regime is a moral disgrace. They’re carrying out horrendous acts, the Russians with them.” Democracy Now! begins with the leading statement of “worldwide outrage mounts over an alleged chemical weapons attack in Idlib province, which was reportedly carried out by the Assad government…” No evidence is presented to support the accusation, and the accusers are also unnamed. What kind of journalism is this, Amy Goodman?! Are you another Zionist shill? One would have hoped that a media outlet like Democracy Now! Which claims to be “independent” of the state and corporate sponsors would apply a higher journalistic standard. I guess not. It is now crystal clear that Democracy Now! Is in fact pushing the imperialist agenda for regime change in Syria.
5) Professor Chomsky supported the US-led coup in Ukraine and the illegitimate installment of a corrupt Neo-Nazi/ NATO nurtured government in Ukraine.
6) Professor Chomsky acknowledges the one-party corporate oligarchy, but then urges everyone to vote for the lesser of two evils – just like he did in 2008, 2012, 2016, and just about every election before that. Let us keep in mind that any endorsement of “lesser evil-ism” is in essence an endorsement to maintain the status-quo and hence a system of injustice that he claims to oppose.
Naturally expected, Professor Chomsky tends to run interference for the Democrats as always. He talks like an anarchist during off years, tucks tail and comes slinking back to the Democrat wing of the corrupt establishment during election years. This is the utter hypocrisy that Professor Chomsky is used to, but one which is now coming to full surface.
But then again, to survive at the right-wing MIT for all those years and get tenured (and now emeritus) could in-and-out-of-itself be an alarming indicator that he is yet another deeply well-positioned Zionist Mossad shill and a controlled opposition, a pro-establishment sell-out with a subtle narrative that serves the evil Anglo-Washingtonian Empire’s interests and commitment to perpetuate the status quo.
Noam Chomsky said just a few years ago that the Western military intervention was the only way to prevent genocide in Libya and supported the ‘no fly zone’ and subsequent destruction of Libya.
Every word he uttered turned out to be completely false. The allegations of abuses by the Libyan government were total war propaganda fabrications.
Look what happened to Libya, once the most prosperous nation in the African continent under Qaddafi, a proud sovereign nation who offered, public housing, free healthcare, free education among many other public benefits to 100% of the people in Libya – including thousands of subsaharan Africans who are now being sold as slaves for as little as $200 dollars by Jihadist Wahabbi gangs who now run Libya.
What is Chomsky saying about it now?
Nothing! The octogenarian is too busy openly advocating for regime change in Syria. The shameless of “leftist” liberal intellectuals like him. Shame on you professor!
