The Deforestation Process

  The Deforestation Process Deforestation is too often reduced to what’s most conspicuous. But deforestation is complex and a lot more than raising beef cattle or growing soybeans. To begin with, despite all the biodiversity especially of plant life, rain forest soil isn’t very fertile. Nope, it’s actually very oxalic. Oxalic soils are acidic. Acidic soils are full of iron, bauxite and other minerals.  So not only are trees in the forest chopped down for their precious hardwood, the soils these trees grow in are mined for minerals including aluminum, zinc, copper, manganese, gold and iron. Do you know where the aluminum in your water bottle came from? What’s one of most electricity intensive things to do? Convert bauxite into aluminum. It’s an electrostatic process to remove oxygen from the alumina (Al2O3). This electricity is also one of the largest costs of producing aluminum. So that’s why hydroelectricity is often used to reduce the costs of refining bauxite to alumina to ...

The Deep State vs The Deep Country

  The Deep State vs The Deep Country I need to begin with the obvious: in spite of all the deep state, propaganda and “deep empire” (transnational) resources being used to declare that “Biden” (i.e. Harris) has won, as of right now nobody knows who got most votes and where. I would even suggest that we will never really find out who won, because who won depends on a large number of local laws and regulations and because it will probably never be possible to separate the fake votes from the legal ones. Finally, neither side will ever gracefully admit to having lost the contest. So now the country will enter a profound crisis. That is the bad news. But there is also very good news. First, it has now become clear to the entire planet that the US “democracy” is anything but: the USA is an  oligarchic plutocracy , plagued with a myriad of antiquated laws and corrupt to the bone. The special “trick” of this US oligarchic plutocracy is that is masquerades as an ochlocracy: there is *...

The Deep Politics of Jared Leto’s Cult Posted on  September 15, 2019 …Pop singer—he’s not so much a person as a puppet, whose strings are pulled for a scheme of total nightmare! …A terrifying and withering exposé of the misuse of power in an age of illusion! — Privilege  theatrical trailer,  1967 For the past year, I’ve been working hard on a book project, which is going to offer insight into a lot of the bigger contemporary political trends. One of the main threads is this: many of the political conflicts we see are the result of internecine struggles between ruling class-power blocs, and many of these are the result of Silicon Valley taking its place among the monopoly industries. In order to illustrate the concept of deep politics, one chapter discusses conclusions we can draw from two of the best on the subject:  Crypto Cuttlefish  and  Dave McGowan . One of the first things to say about the value of their respective research i...
