The Second Coming/William Butler Yeats
Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.
+—+
Surely some revelation is at hand;
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

European countries of the Alliance in NATO declared that, with the Steadfast Defender 2024
“the Alliance will demonstrate its ability to strengthen the Euro-Atlantic area through the transatlantic movement of forces from North America. This reinforcement will occur during a simulated emergent conflict scenario against a near-peer adversary.”
The reference to Russia is clear.

Israel — do a whole bunch of things wrong and its perceived as “the baseline.”
Legendary filmmaker, author and activist Peter Joseph joins Abby to discuss the Gaza genocide, as well as debunking liberal Zionism through the lens of Bill Maher.
Groomed into A war war war mindset.
Yep, Zeitgeist:
Going back:
Storyline:
A feature length documentary work which presents a case for a needed transition out of the current socioeconomic monetary paradigm which governs the entire world society. This subject matter will transcend the issues of cultural relativism and traditional ideology and move to relate the core, empirical "life ground" attributes of human and social survival, extrapolating those immutable natural laws into a new sustainable social paradigm called a "Resource-Based Economy".
Oh, those robes . . . those justices . . . those judges.
While 90,000 fucking mercenaries in un iforms with their fucking NATO badges.
The fucking American Jewish Medical Association:
Why is the American Medical Association (AMA) not speaking out against Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza?
That is a question we have been asking for several months now.
Since the bombardment of Gaza began in October, Healthcare Workers for Palestine - Chicago has been asking the AMA for three simple things: Uphold the oath to do no harm by calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire, advocate for the safety of Palestinian colleagues in medicine and stand ready to provide humanitarian aid in Gaza.
We have sent email messages to the AMA, made phone calls, requested meetings and organized a protest. During that protest – held on 18 December – two of our representatives tried to deliver a formal written request to the AMA’s headquarters in Chicago.
Not only were our representatives refused entry, they were called “unwanted guests” by security.
WHILE THEY STARVE and DIE OF THIRST:
"We actually expect the same level of demand in the new year and when you look at the fact that we are only serving a couple of million patients living with obesity, some 40 million people living with diabetes — there is a huge market out there," CEO Lars Fruergaard Jørgensen told CNBC on Wednesday.
The maker of weight loss drug Wegovy and diabetes drug Ozempic reported an increase in sales of 31% in Danish kroner and 36% at constant exchange rates to 232.3 billion kroner ($33.71 billion).
The 2023 results were fueled by strong performance in the company's diabetes and obesity care division, with the latter in particular soaring by 154% at CER to 41.6 billion.
Novo's valuation rose to $506 billion at 08:06 GMT, according to CNBC's calculation of LSEG data.
Ahh, so-called grilling:
X CEO Linda Yaccarino, Snap CEO Evan Spiegel and Discord CEO Jason Citron will testify before Congress for the first time. TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who have previously addressed lawmakers, will also speak.
Efforts to regulate social media continue to ramp up across the U.S. amid concerns from some parents that the platforms don’t do enough to keep their kids safe online.
Many of the platforms have said they don’t tolerate child sexual exploitation on their platforms, and they point to various tools they already offer as examples of their proactive methods.
Several parents who say their children died for various reasons connected to social media told NBC News they will be watching from the hearing room. Some of them are suing some of the social media companies whose CEOs will appear Wednesday.
“The bottom line is that we will never have what we want in this lifetime: our daughter back. So we’re here advocating for change,” said Tony Roberts, whose daughter died by suicide after, her parents say, she viewed a simulated hanging video on social media.
Fucking cognative decay. So, how Google goes, that’s how your local hospital will go. Schools. Colleges. DMV. It’s coming, folks. AI, robotization, MOOC’s (massively open$ on-line colleges/courses/indoctrinations/marketing/brainwashing/dead-end non thinkng).
Google spent $2.1 billion on severance and other expenses as it laid off more than 12,000 employees over the course of 2023. And the layoff charges keep coming: in just the one month of 2024 so far, the company has already spent $700 million on employee severance charges as part of layoffs targeting another 1,000-plus roles. Alphabet, Google’s parent company, revealed the figure alongside its fourth-quarter earnings release on Tuesday.
Despite the cuts, Google ended 2023 with growth across most of its core business lines. Google posted $86 billion in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2023, a 13 percent increase year over year. The search giant’s core digital ads and cloud computing businesses also showed steady growth, which CEO Sundar Pichai credited to Google’s investments in generative AI.
The fucking FDA, uh? Approving approving approving, as long as FDA is captured.
Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of the neurotechnology company Neuralink, has said the first human received an implant from the brain-chip startup and is recovering well.
The surgery is not a surprise: the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had given the company clearance in September to carry out the first trial of its implant on humans.
“Initial results show promising neuron spike detection,” Musk said in a post on X on Monday, a day after the chip was implanted.
Ahh, the Jewish Supremacy, their fucking school (sic), Harvard, and no conflict of interest with his love of drug monster, and being Jewish is a no-brainer major conflict of interest . . . because Poison Ivy Schools are one giant conflict of human interest!
Interim Harvard President Alan M. Garber ’76 will remain on the board of one pharmaceutical company while leading the University, a decision that complicates his relationship with the Harvard Management Company and raises questions about potential conflicts of interests.
Zionism is the ideology that underpins the barbarism that has been meted out on Palestinians, its latest chapter being the slaughter that is currently happening in Gaza. Yet its ideals remain respectable in establishment circles. In the United States, political leaders fall over one another to declare their un denying loyalty to the creed and in Britain, there has been a long tradition of Christian Zionism that spans back to the early twentieth century and the Balfour Declaration.
Ahmed Paul Keeler argues that Zionism has become embedded into the Western mindset through education and culture. It relies upon a Darwinian hierarchy that places Europeans at the top and Arabs and others as savages and less human, terms that have been uttered in recent events with greater frequency.
Ahmed was born in 1942 and was brought up in a conservative upper-middle class Anglo Catholic family. He belonged to a generation that was brought up to serve the British empire. Ahmed Keeler is a Visiting Fellow at the Centre of Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge, and was a Distinguished Fellow at The Faculty of Leadership and Management, Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia in 2016.
Every Palestinian Shall be GONE:
A total of 30 bodies of Palestinians have been discovered on the grounds of a school in Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip, following the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the area.
The bodies were reportedly found on Wednesday in body bags, blindfolded and with their hands tied behind their backs.
In a statement, the Palestinian Prisoners Club confirmed “the discovery of the bodies of 30 martyrs inside one of the schools that was besieged by the occupation.”
“They were handcuffed and blindfolded, that is, they were under arrest, which is a clear indication that the occupation carried out a field execution against them,” the statement said.
The organization said data indicates that executions are increasing in Gaza, based on “testimonies of detainees who were released.”
It said Israel’s “insistence on keeping Gaza detainees under enforced disappearance has one explanation, which is that there is a decision to single them out, with the aim of carrying out more crimes against them in secret.”
The Jews will get you fired for thinking!!!
Ahh, the Zeitgist of it all, of my own employment head-on crash: Just Google him, but don’t let it be known it is our HR policy.
Researchers have found that political affiliations and the way information about these affiliations is revealed (a practice known as ‘doxing‘) can significantly influence hiring decisions in the workplace. The research, published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, revealed that negative political information tends to lower expectations of job performance and heightens the perceived risk of workplace retaliation.
The study was motivated by the growing political polarization observed globally, particularly in the United States. Political divisions have escalated to the point where they’re not just confined to the political arena but have started to permeate everyday life, including the workplace. The researchers aimed to understand how political affiliations, and the manner in which they are disclosed, impact hiring decisions – an area that has seen little exploration despite its increasing relevance in today’s politically charged environment.
