"The Electrical Retribalization of the West" Yes we were warned half a century ago by Marshall Mcluhan on the negative impact of pervasive communication environments.
"Demassification" came to be a synonym for democracy, while democracy drifted farther and farther away from a common well of fact, data, implications and interpretation of public service and political oversight. ncronline.org/news/opinion/w…
Access to technology should have made education better but access to communications has damaged American children. TV/iPad kids who suffer from full faculty sensory education. In 1966 the future looked bright.
Noam Chomsky and the power of words and perception.
1955: the effects of depersonalization and new applications on "electronic media" "You are the message"
When humans became disconnected from communications and electronic transmissions replaced them, there were concerns about manipulation and unintended effects of disembodied person. We now have Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network(DCGAN) towardsdatascience.com/fake-face-gene…

The US media is conflating Iranian missile attacks to revenge the Soleimani murder with Katushya/Grads/Urgans fired remotely from parked and sterile trucks in Iraq. A common false flag trick. Note the launch tubes hidden in the rear bed. nbcnews.com/news/world/roc…

Imagine if the Saudi tribe would simply use their zakat to give land and homes to stateless people, offer free medical or higher learning universities maybe even free surgeries for the poor instead of jailing women, bombing the shit out of Yemen and killing polite dissidents.
The guardians of Mecca need some PR help and rightful guidance. I am not sure why view their biggest enemy as the shia when it is actually the west that is turning against them. A Jetson city for rich people run by slaves is not going to save them.

I have watched how the response to hybrid warfare is both commercializing and profiting from selling military advice, tech and weapons but part of an expensive race for the 50s sounding "Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority" media.defense.gov/2020/Oct/29/20…
