don't miss very rare discussion-debate by top US geostrategists about global geopolitical dilemma solutions
Charlie Rose - Hour with Zbigniew Brzezinski, Brent Scowcroft & Henry Kissinger

CLIMATE CONTROL, the main topic of this issue may be 2 or 3 parts. Since all things under US world fascist domination must be intractably interconnected to aid its doomed survival, some geopolitical context.
All ruling States and state-keepers of class-based systems know classless society is their expiration date and do anything to ward it off.
The US conquered the ‘world order’ via WW2, with its vast power, wealth“, eager to impose its rule everywhere for national security” to prevent or crush any signs of potential working class potential revolutionary leaders. States have a monopoly on violence so US white supremacy uses terror and genocide worldwide on ‘people and nations ‘of color’
Information to create its fascist high tech ‘platonic’ new world order, demands surveillance and control .Very helpfully it discovered that “narratives construct reality”, not objective reality (e.g. existing outside your mind). The main reason so many don’t believe the ‘News’ is because it lies.

By any name & pretext, the capitalist zionist State is supported by ‘humanitarian aid’, corporate and religious institutions led the Vatican in psychological war against communism.

American strength relative to that of the Soviet Union has been slipping, and communism has been advancing steadily in every area of the world, until the Iron Curtain now rests on the island of Cuba, only 90 miles away.
STRATEGY OF TENSION

.. The strategy of tension (Italian: strategia della tensione).... to help roll out the "war on terror" promoting US/NATO-sponsored
digest comment:
US DESPERATION TO DEFEAT CHINA FOR GLOBAL AI DOMINATION WITH OUTRIGHT FASCIST TERROR LIKE ITS FAILED INFORMATION WAR AND WARS IN LITERALLY COUNTLESS NATIONS. BORN AGAIN CHINESE IMPERIALISM'S ABILITY TO EXPAND IN ITS EARLY STAGE WITHOUT THREATS AND LIES. AND THE MORE BEHIND AND DRIVEN FOR SURVIVAL TO EVER MORE DEADLY AGGRESSION. WHY? BECAUSE WHEN WORLD-ENEMY #1 LOSES ITS POST WW2 GLOBAL DICTATORSHIP, ITS STATE'S RULING CLASS IS DONE, POWERLESS, 'MANIFEST DESTINY' TO TURN HISTORY BACK TO A SELF-PROCLAIMED SELF-CONTAINED NATION-STATE. WE KNOW THE DEPTHS THIS MONSTROUS BEAST HAS GONE TO, AND THAT OBAMA INITIATED A $30 TRILLION NUCLEAR UPDATE PLAN. HAVE WE BECOME SO DANGEROUSLY DEGRADED AND STUPID TO VOTE THE US-TRUMP CARD ? ACTIVELY VOTING FOR ANY/ALL-AMERICAN ARROGANT GANGSTERISM? LIKE 2000 THE SUPREMES SELECTED GWB IN TIME FOR THE 911 GREENLIGHT TO THE US WORLD TERROR WAR.

ALEXA, WHAT'S MY BLOOD-SUGAR LEVEL?
04.04.19 https://www.wired.com/story/alexa-whats-my-blood-sugar-level/
Amazon may be known as the “everything store,” but the company’s tendrils extend far beyond ecommerce. On Thursday, Amazon said Alexa-enabled devices can now handle customers’ sensitive medical data, and it teased the release of a new kit that would allow approved outside developers to build Alexa skills that access users’ private health information, paving the way for the voice assistant to play a bigger role in health care.
With the announcement came the release of new skills giving Alexa the ability to relay and store blood sugar measurements from internet-connected monitoring devices, help schedule doctors’ appointments, pass on post-op instructions from hospitals, and provide prescription delivery updates by securely accessing customers’ private medical information.
As part of the announcement, Amazon said it had committed to protect personal health information according to the federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, or HIPAA, which protects the privacy of medical records. Alexa’s health and wellness team had been working to obtain HIPAA compliance for months. For now, only six companies invited by Amazon will be able to build skills that can access sensitive medical information, but Amazon expects to add more developers to that list in the coming months.

Employing Information as an Instrument of National Power
2016 Army War College http://publications.armywarcollege.edu/pubs/726.pdf
The Plan is for the United States to rule the world. The overt theme is unilateralism, but it is ultimately a story of domination. It calls for the United States to maintain its overwhelming superiority and prevent new rivals from rising up to challenge it on the world stage. It calls for dominion over friends and enemies alike. It says not that the United States must be more powerful, or most powerful, but that it must be absolutely powerful.

Obama Announcement Drives Up Japanese Nuclear Reactor Makers
2/17/10 DailyFinance: http://www.dailyfinance.com/story/investing/obama-announcement-drives-up-japanese-nuclear-reactor-makers/19361391
In Japan shares of Toshiba Corp. surged 6.3% after President Obama told an audience he endorsed nuclear power and earmarked $8.3 billion for the construction of two nuclear power plants. If approved, the contract would go to Southern Co. and its partners, which would build reactors designed by Westinghouse -- that helped build the first nuclear power plants in America. According to The New York Times, there are now 104 nuclear reactors in the U.S., but a new plant has not been constructed since 1973. Japan, a country with extremely limited local energy resources, operates 55 nuclear reactors, has two more under construction, and even more in the planning stages....
