TIMES
Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well... You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect...
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.
Macron isn't listening. He already has French troops in Ukraine. They are far away from the front line for the moment. Their chances of seeing the...
The UK haven't yet got around to fatality shooting their mentally ill people as a way of taking them into custody. It seems very plain to me that...
If there is any way to look inside the mind of God – and I doubt it – it is to accept that wars are about power, except that power is an illusion....

Say what you will about this chain of Islands in the deep South Pacific, but New Zealand has again lead the way with Western governance that offers, at least in part, some real openness about its workings, and allows its citizenry the opportunity to observe what it is doing and publicly comment on same.
That Kiwis were the first to make the TPP terms and conditions available for scrutiny says volumes about the state of affairs in Wellington versus Washington.
And while NZ did sign up for the TPP (despite REAL misgivings about same openly expressed by trade negotiators), what would you expect a tiny population of just over 4 million to do in these circumstances? If Russia's rouble can be annihilated by the Western financial oligarchs at will, simply for being out of line with the DC war monger's wishes, what would happen to the NZ dollar and export economy if it openly thumbed its nose at the Hegemon's corporate plans to dominate trade in the Pacific region (and contain China economically)?
By disclosing the terms of the TPP as quickly as possible, Kiwis once again lead the way with an openness to governance that should be the model for all, and cause for envy for most.
Good on ya'. Wellington!!
