"Hope..."
"Hope is always about the future. And it isn't always good news. Sometimes, hope can imprison us with belief or expectation that something will happen in the future to change our lives. Similarly hopelessness isn't always about despair. Hopelessness can bring us right into this very moment and answer all of life's most difficult questions. Who am I? Where am I? What does this mean? And what now?" - Daniel Gottlieb

Thailand: Crushing Localism Threatens National, Regional Stability
*April 22, 2017* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - Street vendors of all kinds are facing a complete ban of their livelihood across Bangkok, the capital of Southeast Asia's Thailand. While it may appear to be a minor move falling in line with many other nations within the "developed world," the significance of it both to Bangkok, Thailand, and the rest of Asia in socioeconomic terms is indeed, major. Just like the "developed" nations the new ban seeks to emulate, it is driven not by a genuine desire to clear sidewalks, beautify the city, or enhance consumer health and safety. *Cui Bono?

Donald Trump has the lowest approval ratings of any other president elected since World War 2.
Courtesy of Gallup: *Donald Trump averaged 41% job approval during his first quarter as president, 14 percentage points lower than any other president in Gallup's polling history. Bill Clinton had the previous low mark of 55%. The average first-quarter rating among post-World War II presidents elected to their first term is 61%, with John Kennedy's 74% the highest.* You know I so want to celebrate this, but the fact is that this asshole represents all of us now so unfortunately this is also a reflection on the entire country. God I hate Vladimir Putin right now.

Why the discussion of religion is so important.
I often get blowback for my "attacks" on religion. Those attacks of course are often simply a post about the lack of historic evidence or the ignorance of accepting things without a factual basis to support their existence. However as I often suggest there is probably no more important topic to openly discuss, argue, and examine than the impact of religion in the world today. For instance the case can be made that much of terrorism is fueled by religious fanaticism. It also holds true that much of our current prejudices stem from a religious origin. The same is of course true of... more »

A Former First Lady Presses On for a Tolerant, Feminist Islam
It is always delightful to find a modern voice coming out of the Islamic milieu.

It needs to be a united effort that gathers all sects and must surely take the lead of Gandhi to simply impose the doctrine of non violence.

How the Market Is Already Repealing Obamacare
We are now in the middle of a pause regarding health care.

Agriculture and Autism: A Perfect Match
This is truly wonderful news. Recall that our population of autistic individuals is rapidly burgeoning thanks to the brain damage caused by negative reactions to vaccines. Of course the industry denies this but neither the mega stats nor the emerging biology say otherwise.

Autistic individuals are actually ideal. Their disability hinders their ability to socially communicate and thus p... more »

A few psychopathic individuals notwithstanding, nobody sets out in the business of providing information, then says ‘But we’re going to lie like a rug, 24/7, how about them apples?’.
