agricultural technofascism

"The feature of the manuring of the West is the use of artificial manures. The factories engaged during the Great War in the fixation of atmospheric nitrogen for the manufacture of explosives had to find other markets - Vested interests, entrenched in time of national emergency, have gained a stranglehold." "What is happening today in the small fields of India and China took place many centuries ago. There is here no need to study historical records or to pay a visit to the remains of the megalithic farming of the Andes. The agricultural practices of the Orient have passed the supreme test--they are almost as permanent as those of the primeval forest, of the prairie or of the ocean. The small-holdings of China, for example, are still maintaining a steady output and there is no loss of fertility after forty centuries of management."

Big Fat, Jim Bell type fraud to face justice

New Zealand's top court rejected Kim Dotcom's latest bid to avoid extradition to the United States https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20211221-fresh-blow-for-kim-dotcom-in… In public, Bell, sorry, Dotcom, preens, poses and postures as a web-progressive. This is a fraudulent mask to cover his covert support for rapists, thieves and probably even murder conspirators like Ross Ulbricht. These sort of scammers - Jeff Berwick is another! - are becoming a glut on the market and the net can't progress to full anarchism without ' Bounty Law ' taking this trash out. I'll happily chip in to get rid of such lying ' activist ' filth as this. Bring on the full global revolution.

Project Ferret-Arse stay throws ratline to Wicked-Leaks
by professor rat 25 Dec '21

25 Dec '21

Project Veritas, led by James O’Keefe, has used what critics view as misleading tactics like secret audio recording to expose what it describes as liberal media bias. The group is the subject of a Justice Department probe into its possible role in the theft of a diary from President Joe Biden’s daughter, Ashley, pages of which were published on a right-wing website. Project Veritas objected to a Nov. 11 Times article that drew from the legal memos and purported to reveal how the group worked with its lawyers to “gauge how far its deceptive reporting practices can go before running afoul of federal laws.”

Russia fines Google, Meta record $125 mn over banned content
by jim bell 24 Dec '21

24 Dec '21

https://news.yahoo.com/russia-fines-google-98-mn-124032773.html A Moscow court on Friday slapped Google with an unprecedented fine of nearly $100 million, while Meta (formerly Facebook) received a fine of $27 million. "In recent years Russia has been piling pressure on Western social media giants, with President Vladimir Putin saying those companies were becoming as influential as elected governments." "Moscow has repeatedly taken legal action against them for allegedly not moderating their content properly and interfering in the country's affairs." -------------------------- Jim Bell's comment: At some point, Facebook and Google and Twitter and Instagram will realize that they are, effectively, as powerful as national governments. In the same way that the Viet Cong were as powerful as the American army during the Vietnam war. Everyday, hundreds of people get diagnoses of terminal illnesses. Some of them will accept large ($100k, $1 million, $10 million) payments, paid to their family or friends, for their work in assassinating heads of government or other powerful politicians.
