Can We Avoid a Digital Apocalypse?
A Response to the 2015 Edge Question : Sam Harris
"We seem to be in the process of building a God. Now would be a good time to wonder whether it will (or even can) be a good one."
— Sam Harris
And the answer is - of course - no.
Robert Redford: Stop the Big Polluter Agenda
No one in the U.S. voted on election day to force construction of the disastrous Keystone XL tar sands pipeline ... open the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling ... gouge the Pebble Mine out of the Bristol Bay wilderness ... or let power plants spew unlimited amounts of climate-destroying pollution into our atmosphere.
But the new corporate fascist leaders of the U.S. Congress, sworn into power just last week, are claiming a mandate to do all those things, and more.

Donny Rico Episode #4: T'anks Judge!
The new Donny Rico episode about #Chevron and the ”honorable” judge #Kaplan!
It’s a perfect example of #Corporate #Fascism in the making.
Here’s a few of judge Kaplan's finest moments:
* Kaplan suggested the case be brought in the first place
* Kaplan rejected normal procedure and assigned the case to his own court
* Kaplan began by calling the Ecuadorians "so-called" plaintiffs
* Kaplan issued a global injunction before even hearing the case (later slapped down)
* Kaplan refused to let the evidence of Chevron's misdeeds be considered
* Kaplan treated the Ecuadorians like second class citizens
* Kaplan allowed Chevron to seize protected and privileged documents
* Kaplan violated the First Amendment rights of journalists and others allowing Chevron to seize private emails and other protected documents
* Kaplan refused to allow a jury in the case
* Kaplan decided not to disclose that he owns Chevron stock through several mutual funds
* Kaplan permitted double hearsay testimony from an admitted liar as the key witness for Chevron
