Visualizing Life In America From 1983 To Today

Tyler Durden's picture




 

A lot has changed in 30 years - from Miami Vice and Flashdance to Hunger Games and Taylor Swift; but away from the end of legwarmers (and rolled-up jacket sleeves), GDP has more than tripled from $3.5 trillion as household incomes, home prices, and employment have shifted dramatically but not equally...

I just love threads where the algos pick up on certain themes, and then suggest radical anti-Islamic youtube videos from the David Horowitz Freedom Center (who is, ironically, Jewish) due to the contents. It's like white power meets real politiks meets disinfo meets Sesme Street[1] - and yes, that's directed at a single poster who is being rather... myopically challenged in this thread.

 

If I ever get V&, the data cloud around my activities is going to be very confuzzled.

 

 

[1] Note: I have as much civilian anti-tracking stuff going that I can when browsing (and so theoretically shouldn't be part of the flows), and the goGlplex is still able to form reactive info spheres around what it thinks I'm ideologically interested in. Given it's owners, not sure if irony and satire are being translated though. Swift, you're our only hope. **check your own info sphere today!** Browsing knitting forums and random tumblrs is good for you!

 

 

p.s. Site down for milliseconds again. MiM(e) @ work?

Andrew P. Napolitano: "

Lies the Government Told You: Myth, Power, and Deception in American History"

YOU’VE BEEN LIED TO BY THE GOVERNMENT

We shrug off this fact as an unfortunate reality. America is the land of the free, after all. Does it really matter whether our politicians bend the truth here and there?

When the truth is traded for lies, our freedoms are diminished and don’t return.

In Lies the Government Told You, Judge Andrew P. Napolitano reveals how America’s freedom, as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution, has been forfeited by a government more protective of its own power than its obligations to preserve our individual liberties.

“Judge Napolitano’s tremendous knowledge of American law, history, and politics, as well as his passion for freedom, shines through in Lies the Government Told You, as he details how throughout American history, politicians and government officials have betrayed the ideals of personal liberty and limited government."

It's not only you loosing your rights: It's half of the World too, because US governments have lied and do lie worldwide. And starts wars, destroying entire countries, based upon lies. And kills, and kidnap people EVERYWHERE and put people in prison without charges, without trial, and funds terrorists all over the world, and throws out goveernments, and kills other's countries  presidents and govt members and civilians (children included), and tests WMD all around the world AND IN THE US (remember San Francisco?) and steals resources, money, gold, whatever. And uses torture in a daily basis even over innocent people. And destabilize governments everywhere, every government not willing to do what those totalitarian guys want. And protects genocides, as in Palestina. And hires mercenaries, even against you. It's been a long time now US governments work for the corporate power, not for the US citizens, not for peace, prosperity, freedom. US governments have made the USA become the most terrorist, deadly, dangerous State in the whole world. Even for you, american citizens.
