The Greek Disaster: State Inertia And The Market Economy

'The fire-fighting service had been financially starved, while its personnel had been recruiting new staff based on specific social criteria! In other words, firefighters entrusted with saving people from emergency situations were hired on the basis of their physical inability to deal with normal life situations.'

Authored by Andreas Andrianopoulos: What happened in Attica, close to Athens, is without precedent. An ordinary fire, like the ones that occur in this area almost every other summer, met up with a terrible, sudden wind that turned it into real galloping inferno. The tragic result was 87 dead Greek citizens and more than 20 still missing. Huge questions loom on the horizon and only very limited answers are forthcoming. Are some of the lessons from this tragedy related to the wider geopolitical and political-economic questions?

Public-sector clientelism is leading to disastrous inefficiency

Why do tragedies like these occur in social environments with firmly entrenched clientelist political systems and in political entities that operate on the periphery of major, bureaucratic, modern empires? Sweden saw huge uncontrolled fires this summer. However, there was no loss of life or major disasters that befell the urban centers.

Centrism Is Dead - And It Never Really Existed

By Michael Krieger: It’s a common refrain these days to hear people lament a decline of the so-called “center” in American politics. We’re supposed to look on in horror as “moderate” Republicans and Democrats become an engaged species of liberty-fighting patriots steamrolled by frothing, insane hordes of populist barbarians on their left and right flanks. They’re the voice of reason, lovers of apple pie and staunch defenders of our constitution and all that’s good and right in the US of A. We’re encouraged to run back into the blood soaked arms of establishment politicians like John McCain and Hillary Clinton — the only ones standing between us and the Donald Trumps and Bernie Sanders of the world. The center cannot hold, so we’re told.
It’s a nice story, the only problem is it’s complete and total nonsensical garbage. This mythical “center” is nothing more than a failed status quo attempting to rebrand itself in the wake of being outed as the corrupt charlatans they are. Russia, Trump and  Bernie Sanders didn’t destroy healthcare, bailout criminal bankers and invade Iraq based on fake news. No, moderate Republicans and Democrats did that. The so-called celebrated center did that.

Is It Zionism Or Jewishness? You Decide

Is it Zionism or actually Jewish ideology that drives the barbarism of the state that calls itself  “the Jewish State”?

By Gilad Atzmon: In the early 2000s I realised that if Israel defines itself as the Jewish State, we must first ask who are the Jews, what is Zionism, what is Jewishness and how these notions relate to each other and affect Israeli politics, Jewish political lobbying, Jewish pressure groups and so on.
No one in Israel has ever criticized my argument. Israelis are naturally intimately familiar with the above notions. Israelis know that Jewishness and Jewish culture are at the core of Israeli politics.

Apocalypse Is Coming

Max and Stacy discuss the economic and financial landscape as America heads into midterm elections, normally won by the party not in power, but what could 2018 hold for the United States of Inequality? When so many rich people think the apocalypse is coming and they are preparing for it with doom shelters, what to make of the rapidly rising wealth and income gap? They also discuss how Jeff Bezos became the richest man in modern history, gaining $275 million per day in 2018 in net worth.

US Senate About To Vote On Bill To Give $38 Billion To Israel, Largest Aid Package In US History

Although the lame stream media isn’t telling Americans, a bill to give Israel a massive aid package is before Congress. The Senate, where it has 72 sponsors, is expected to vote on it this week. The bill also mandates that NASA work with Israel’s space agency, despite charges of Israeli espionage.

IAK: Jewish Insider reports that the U.S. Senate is expected to vote this week on a $38 billion aid package to Israel. This would be largest military aid package in American history (text and sponsors below).

The money, which would be given to Israel over the next 10 years, is the equivalent of $23,000 for each Jewish Israeli family of four.

The bill has moved forward despite the fact that most Americans already feel the U.S. gives Israel too much money.
The bill also requires NASA to work with the Israel Space Agency, despite accusations of Israeli espionage

Male Suicide On The Rise

Angelo: Lets always be weary of the inhuman statist statement 'committed suicide' repeated below that implies and focuses on illegality, surely we are unconcerned with such small mindedness here, ...we are only concerned with the issue of men taking their own lives.

Part I - Gender Cleansing 
“No man is an Island. . . .
Any mans death diminishes me, For I am involved in Mankind; And therefore, never send to know
For whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee.” — John Donne (1541)

By John Davis: Unnoticed, in our gynocentric world, the rate of men taking their own lives has dramatically accelerated in the last half of a century.

Suicide is now the single most common cause of death for active duty service men; there are now over 38,000 suicides in the U.S. each year, and, of those 38,000, 30,400 victims are men; 83 men commit suicide every day; men commit suicide at 4 times the rate of women.[2] The rate of men being afflicted more than women has been increasing in the past 14 years, and, the rate at which men commit suicide, more than women, has been skyrocketing in the past ten years.[3]

Anthony Bourdain’s Toxic Masculinity

By Paul Elam: Anthony Bourdain killed himself on the 8^th of last month, which by today’s standards for news cycles makes it ancient history. Just the same, and despite the fact that I’ve already addressed this, I want to take a second look at what happened considering information that has come to the surface in the days after his death.
I took the position at the time, and still do, that his suicide was primarily a product of being suicidal. Or in other words, he died because he wanted to. No great mystery to unwrap. Well, unless you’re one of the nutcases I found in the comments who are bent on claiming that Bourdain’s supposed suicide was actually a CIA black op conducted on behalf of Hillary Clinton. I have taken the liberty to assume, to hope actually, that this is the same group of intellectual cripples that claim that school shootings like the one in Florida were also staged by government agents.
Stupid. It grows on trees these days.
Alex Jones worthy conspiracies aside, there is another reason to take a second look at the death of Anthony Bourdain. The story behind it is a worthy one in spite of the outcome, which, as I’ve already belabored, had a fixed outcome.

Feminism: Infinite Monkey Theorem

By Gerard Nicol: Orwell wrote in his book The Road to Wigan Pier:

“The truth is that, to many people calling themselves Socialists, revolution does not mean a movement of the masses with which they hope to associate themselves; it means a set of reforms which ‘we’, the clever ones, are going to impose upon ‘them’, the Lower Orders. On the other hand, it would be a mistake to regard the book-trained Socialist as a bloodless creature entirely incapable of emotion. Though seldom giving much evidence of affection for the exploited, he is perfectly capable of displaying hatred—a sort of queer, theoretical, in vacuo hatred—against the exploiters.”

Orwell, like most of the authors we read in high school, had a unique insight into the human condition; an insight that educators once thought was critical to share with young minds.
A simple Google search on the greatest authors of all time shows the gendered reality of literature.
