I think Naomi Wolf may have downplayed the threat of corporatism, NGOs, and the oligarchs who conspire within them. As we're seeing now, surveillance capitalism is one thing, disaster capitalism is even more destructive and also lucrative for a select few. It's a total mystery to me how they get away with it. Also I don't recall if Wolf touched on the issue that the United States can serve as a launch-point for global tyranny, in a number of ways. For instance, the US controls more of the World Bank and IMF than any other nation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_BankOther "global" institutions are similarly affected by US interests. I think many are waking up to the fact that the Gates Foundation needs to be critiqued and held accountable for its meddling in global affairs. I don't say this lightly: genocide and the eradication of human rights doesn't always necessarily come through "legal" governments, but sometimes from those who overthrow them, either overtly or through exceptionally cunning means, such as this: www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/hcq-behe^ Well-written and sourced-article, and not even the half of it.

Naomi Wolf has recently gone public saying the end of America is here. We are living in it. She's working with RFK Jr who describes them as the only famous Democrats who are vocal about our loss of freedom and the Fascist police state we are living in. Greenwald (neither Left nor Right, a Constitutional scholar) on the current war on terror (towards Americans...scary as hell) and the previous nightmare...Gitmo...lessons from The Mauritanian ~ he's always excellent and worth reading: greenwald.substack.com/p/video-with-a-second-war-on-terror

Does this make you feel any better? I'm confused by your question. I mean, you must know it doesn't.

anelaIn case you haven't read his recent articles, Greenwald wrote about Taylor Lorenz of the New York Times because he considers her a bully herself, and one who stoops to lying and targeting private citizens. He's contemptuous of someone with SO much influence in society (NY Times being highly influential and respected) using their platform to accomplish such petty things. He wrote a long argument documenting his position. He also says all journalists who take their job seriously must be willing to face "harassment" head-on, and much worse. With her, what goes around comes around. He knows it's the same for him, he endures and expects abuse. One reason he scorns all the outrage about her feeling "harassed" is, his life has been in danger for years, he doesn't leave his house without armored vehicles and a security detail....he explains, at length, what his life has been like. He is reporting on corruption in high places and these powerful people tend to counter-attack. It's all in his articles. My impression from reading him for many years is, it's a given for him that he might end up like Julian Assange, who has been extensively abused within the prison system, to the extent that he's lost cognitive ability to a drastic and alarming extent. I would summarize his position as: if you cannot stand the heat of being a prominent journalist, don't be a journalist, and ESPECIALLY do not go after innocent private citizens and frame people if you don't want people retaliating. His Pisces sun is conjunct my moon, his moon is in Capricorn somewhere, maybe that's why I get him. If someone is going to bully people, or have no journalistic integrity, I'm glad they can worry about Greenwald pointing it out. He's fearless, he knew Lorenz's legions of supporters would rush to her defense and attack him, but I think he'd rather have people attacking HIM than people he considers innocent victims, like the targets of her smear campaigns. It's basically verbal warfare. If she's given a lucid defense of herself, I haven't seen it. I would be open to reading her side of the story and would expect Greenwald to give a measured and logical reply. It's ongoing, so we'll see. Anyone can read his articles at substack. I have a lot more to say about him, like the fact that what he's fighting for is human rights and freedom for all. And he's accomplishing things along those lines, especially in Brazil.

Ways modern society reminds me of totalitarian regimes of the past:
- Invasive, wall-to-wall government messaging, usually lies (propaganda) - "Papers, please!" -- internal passports - Restriction of free speech and movement, suspension of Constitutional rights - Medical experimentation with coercion (AGAINST the Nuremberg Code) - Extreme surveillance - Enrichment of corporations - Normalization of violence - Normalization of "informant culture" (as if the gov't doesn't already know everything) - Putting people in categories set for abuse and encouraging others to condemn them - Extensive theatrical psy-op messaging
Will add to the list as I think of it.
