The Debt Engine

Author: David Zwolski

death_by_debt_by_jessiechristThe Debt Engine is a phrase to describe unrelenting, forever increasing private and government debt. The need to stay ahead of escalating debt fuels practically everything we do; it forces us out of bed in the morning to go to jobs that most of us despise. Corporations make all their decisions around first how to service their snowballing debt, and secondly around profit. Governments spend all their time worrying about how to meet their social agendas while at the same time service the increasing debt load of deficit spending.

As a motivating force, the Debt Engine now exceeds all others in the insane dash of the planet towards self destruction. Universal unrepayable debt creates a social environment in which certain types of behavior flourish and inhibits or destroys any tendency towards long term concerns and nourishment.

People vs Unpeople

Author: Jason Gregory

embargo_by_antognow

As a world today we are comprised of two people, People and Unpeople. If you are reading this news then congratulations you are classed as ‘People’. You may think you are unaware of who unpeople are, but you only have to read your daily newspaper or watch the nightly news to realize who they are, well that is in the group sense.
To understand the difference between people and unpeople is not a difficult equation, it actually boils down to something as simple as this. When we look at any war in history you see the people and unpeople very clearly. The people are the allied soldiers who if killed on duty are given a state funeral and portrayed as a hero. But the unpeople on the other hand are the thousands of innocent civilians that die every day at war who are given no state funeral, but are bulldozed into mass graves or are left to perish in the sun like rubbish.
