Revolution Watch----Controlling the Narrative

It is not hard to notice that in the last year there has been an all out effort by the predominate paradigm to control the narrative, that is the tone of all things that pass through the mainstream media (MSM). Some of the efforts are absolutely startling in that by doing what they are doing, our ability to understand the realities of life become very difficult.

In the process of not having some grasp of the world condition, life moves on, moves on to a direction that is very counter-productive to the Sustainable Revolution. This is obviously being done by the Powers to regain the confidence of consumers so they get back to doing the business of capitalism, and that is buying stuff.

We must be made to feel that everything is getting better and and therefore it is time to buy a new car or some more worthless shit and get those GDPs jumping---and sucking up the resources.

So this article comes out in the Economist, a rag that has respect, a rag I like to read to stay in touch with the world, because after all, the world is more than just the USA---at least I think so. So what we have here is a hype of an unimaginable magnitude. (shown below are a number of contrary graphs and sources listed---not from the economist)

First off, it seems everyday now we see articles in alternative press, MSM and official record keepers like the UN, Worldwatch, Pew, CIA fact book, National Geographic, and endless more that are asking the question , How are we going to feed the ever expanding population? The doom and gloomers say we are not, the optimist, techno-triumphalist and cornucopians say we can do it with magic.

So we get this dippy article in the Economist that implies we can do it, but the alarming thing is they never once mention population growth issues, the 80 million new people every year. They never once question our ability to exponential expand GDP and resource development in what is a very finite world.

So I start looking around at some collected graphs I have and what I find is very contrary to this bullshit. What the hell is going on? Well, it is an attempt to grab the narrative and in doing that get back to business as usual. And that is feeding the needs of the big corporations with no regard to the starving of the world. No wonder so many now think it is just a matter of time before the 4 horsemen go for a long ride.
