The new political map

See this post for the details of the political map below, on how different groups respond to the possible collapse of our global society. It seems fairly accurate. Kennilingus, both the man and the model, are seen as the savior from the most evolved level on the planet. However salvation is offered on a personal basis to only those who kowtow to the system and achieve certain states (disguised as elevated stages beyond relative measurement). That is all that is offered on a social basis as well via paid seminars, a model and some states, since consciousness per se is the Reality and the only thing worth working on. By edict any other form of social activism is green and ineffective from a lower order of consciousness. So yes, "God will save us" in our little in-group and the rest can go to hell where they belong.

I'd say Rifkin's Integral Commons is in the transition group, realistic about the dangers and possible collapse, yet willing to do something about it in actual terms of not just personal but socio-economically ecological action. And to hell with being called green or other derogatory names by the effete and narcissistic elites.

Fox News propaganda is devoid of reality

And their main purpose is to use that propaganda to manipulate pinheads for political purposes. This is no surprise. They've programmed low information voters to seek them as their number one news (sic) source, a source that is proven to be low on information and accuracy and thereby reinforces this unlearning feedback loop. Meanwhile liberals have a much wider, fact and science-based menu of news sources. That is, the latter are basing their opinions of cross-checking sources that provide a more unbiased and accurate view of current events. Again, no surprise, and it belies another of Fox's lying manipulations that both sides merely manipulate based on ideology.

Bernie Buzz

Here's a link to Senator Sanders latest news feed. He recently introduced a Bill to put 13 million Americans to work rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Think the regressives will approve it? He has another article on how much the Koch brothers will spend in the next election, close to $1 trillion, and on what. It's not fixing the infrastructure. Then there's the Keystone XL pipeline, which will devastate the environment and not create many jobs. So the regressive lie about creating jobs is obviously bogus, since they have yet to create jobs with infrastructure bills. He also provided the graph below, which shows exactly what the regressive agenda is: enrich the rich at the expense of the rest of us. See the Buzz for much more.

Robert Reich talks to California Senate

CA is the place to be when it comes to the progressive bellwether of the US. It's one of the few place where the progressive agenda can make advances in the next two years.

Chris Hedges on American Sniper

See the full review here.

"American Sniper lionizes the most despicable aspects of U.S. society—the gun culture, the blind adoration of the military, the belief that we have an innate right as a “Christian” nation to exterminate the 'lesser breeds' of the earth, a grotesque hypermasculinity that banishes compassion and pity, a denial of inconvenient facts and historical truth, and a belittling of critical thinking and artistic expression."

Robert Reich on the TPP

He does it again in one of his 2-minute videos, laying out the facts in succinct and clear style. Tell the President and your Congress people that no, this is not a good deal for most of us. It only reinforces there very things that created income inequality, the financial crises and many other maladies in the first place. Mr. President, this is not the good kind of working with the regressives just to get something done. In this case, the something is far, far worse than nothing.

Colbert on regressive idiocy

He sums it up nicely here.

Superman has Supermind

I liked on this ridiculous program Ken Wilber (Kennilingam) is involved, the Superhuman Operating System. Now he comes out with a description of Supermind, the highest level of human evolution which of course he's attained. Balder has an IPS thread on this. Thing is, he's stated several times, this as one example:"Actual stages CANNOT be skipped" (10). And yet he cites Commons et al. in several places as those who validate postformal stages of development, and yet those folks do not have any stage higher than cross-paradigmatic. Wilber posits four stages (not states) above that, the highest being Supermind, which of course he's attained. There is exactly no evidence from postformal researchers above cross-paradigmatic, and that is extremely rare. And since Wilber asserts that one cannot skip stages, then he's also claiming to have achieved cross-paradigmatic on his way to Supermind. No so says Commons and his coterie at the Yahoo Adult Development Yahoo Forum:

Sarah Palin is an idiot

This comes as no surprise to anyone with half a brain. But apparently there are a lot of people with less than half of one because they still listen to her as if she says something of any importance. Jon Stewart skewers her and those that think (wrong word)...feel she's even remotely coherent, let alone a viable candidate for anything. Same with the rest of the regressive pack.
