Bulletin N° 723
“The
Crisis Upon Us !”
28 November 2016
Grenoble, France
Dear
Colleagues and Friends of CEIMSA,
Below
you will find two items which speak to the future life of censorship that
we are facing, if we are not vigilant and in solidarity with collective human
and civil rights movements. “Divide and conquer” is the age-old name of the
game being played against us today by corporations and their paid stooges.
As
usual, we encourage the use of historical materialism and dialectical
materialism as instruments of thought which can produce a more profound
understanding of the moment we are living than is offered by the presently
fashionable practice of empirical positivist thought and algorithms.
A.
In the video below we hear Edward
Snowden give a visionary description of how the War Against
Terror was driven by concerns other than security and how it anticipated an
escalation in the war against privacy, also being pursued for the benefit of
corporate profits and not people.

Trump

B.
And in the next
article, by Norton and Greenwald in last week’s edition of “The Intercept,” we
learn of the “Happy Warriors” now snipping at progressive critics in the US
media, while receiving serious support from none other than the establishment
Washington Post, in their new determination to build a new order and
subjugate humanity to the designs of this order.

Post Disgracefully Promotes a McCarthyite Blacklist From a New,
Hidden,
and Very Shady Group
