Yeah, Chinese are gonna use a fuckin’ balloon attached to a giant antennae—get real. Are they shopping at acme with Wile E. Coyote!?
Russia had this, like 80 years ago: IT HAD NO MOVING PARTS OR BATTERIES.

Anyone with intelligence-level tech capabilities knows how can turn any TV, alexa, or cellphone into a listening device.
But yeah, it’s dem damn Chinese again!
Legal Lesson de jour: In civil trials, a jury of only 10/12 has to agree on a verdict, not 12/12 like a criminal trial. THEN the same jury gets to decide damages… THE AMOUNT of untaxed compensation paid by the party being sued. The only state that caps payouts is Delaware, hence all US corporations are chartered there.
I remember being served chicken with bones when I was in elementary school, but never in high school… hmmm… does sound like a legal thing. Us Americans sue over everything. My guess is the retarded and autistic kids raised on “tendies” broke their teeth and choked and sued the shit out of them at some point. Injury lawyers are a real problem here and I think it had a large part to contribute to US workplace covid policy.
Every company CEO could hear in their heads the ambulance chasing injury lawyer—- putting each of their employee’s family one-by-one on the witness stand: “Da BOSS MADE DaddY go To the OfFice ta WOrK during an AKSHooul PANdEmiC and now HEEEE’s DEaaAd!!”
The Trap is amazing.
His body of work is like the radiohead album ‘ok computer,’ but in film.
Dystopian British technocracy, where everyone is kept clueless, fearful, and paranoid, where everybody knows something is very wrong, but they can’t express it or pin it down, much less discuss it. So they take drugs or drink to try to ease the pressures, which, after much abuse leads to an area of your brain responsible for dreaming shutting off— so you kind of dream while you’re awake. Your reasoning fails and you’re left highly emotional, crying in “the tube” on the way to your meaningless job that you “can’t quit.” Staring into your phone’s digital gulag pressing likes to get likes back because you need more dopamine.
I’m actually not sure what i’ve seen of and haven’t seen of his earlier stuff, His works all blend together in a way… and i’ve been watching his films and shows for almost 20 years, and he’s just so prolific, he releases several things annually.
I need to make a checklist, “gotta catch’em all.” Lol
Gerald Celente? The trend forecaster guy? I’ve known about him for at least 15 years… i like how he calls the elite “white shoe boys.”
Adam Curtis I wouldn’t describe as a “libtard.” He shits on all politicians and parties—-He thinks they are buffoons and psychopaths who have no idea how to lead or do anything actually meaningful. He argues it’s all grandstanding in politics and held together with a very thin string.
Ok if it’s not your cup of tea, though.
No, no war on individualism.
Outside of big biz lobbyists, It’s That people can’t form effective groups or unions or hell, agree on very much at all. They show up, get bored and leave. Everything is pop culture now. Everything is a fad, that passes with time.
There is a very manipulative and dark side to the advertising industry, and mass media in general, it’s changed the way we think, our attention spans, etc.
It goes WAY beyond capitalism/communism, which is another bifurcated false paradigm— it’s all corporate fascism parading as two warring systems—like the Republicrats in the US—
Pepsi and Coke, different labels, tastes mildly different, some have brand loyalty, different slogans— both still poison.
If you listen to nothing else, try around 20 mins to 24 mins.
He’s talking about how hyperindividualism leads to loneliness and lack of community, and how democracy failed the people, who’s ruling class were splintered and apathetic.
Highly recommend any and all Adam Curtis documentaries. If you like Errol Morris films, or collages of old vintage found footage of people and the way they lived in the past, please check him out.
His docs are available on most video sites, and BBC iplayer for all your Brits and those with VPN’s.
Century of Self, Hypernormalization, Power of Nightmares— are absolutely fantastic.
