Thank you. Most of these reports have come from the Western U.S. We cannot get our web hosts to try to fix this however. They keep telling us everything is fine.

It’s true that since the hack, the site has been showing damaged performance; I have to reload pages and sometimes the whole site to get updated comments and new articles. Often the site will open with old articles leading. But, I’ve been able to get the most recent material with some bit of effort…and since CN is one of the few sources worth reading, it’s all good.

The photo was changed at 8 am EST today precisely for the reason you cite. Do you see it on the front page or inside on the article only? Since the hack certain parts of the world are still not getting our site up to date. In what general location are you?

As I watch an indifferent American populace, and politicians blindly subservient to their Zionist Overlords, refusing to acknowledge one of the most depraved and vile genocides in the last 80 years, Chris Hedges words and observations about the decline into the moral rot of fascism ring true. The oligarchs and, their half witted minions, could care less about doing what’s best for humanity. As long as they get theirs, the rest be damned.

And no evolved systems of inhibition. Ultimately, the details of our species’ malpractice are unimportant since the options for deviations from Reality become limited only by final acts of failure; guiding and sustaining principles sourced in biophysical Reality have long since been replaced by instrumental realities. Hedges’ descriptions are, of course, dead on (pun accepted), but finally insufficient in a world of billions of people, trillions upon trillions of watts of energy in our machines and all vying for and driven by ruder-less needs….just “telling it like it is” and being right is more epitaph than solution.
