FurnaceBoy | it famously pays zero tax. | Sep 05 00:38 |
FurnaceBoy | you think if there was any way to evade it, they'd pay a cent | Sep 05 00:38 |
FurnaceBoy | NO | Sep 05 00:38 |
FurnaceBoy | "If the Gates Foundation prides itself on doing things a different way, it still does not challenge the aid industry as such: it gives grants to intermediary foundation, many of whom represent the business-as-usual of the aid industry and the illusion of the fixability of single issues.

FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: 'Anti-war protesters' | Sep 05 06:33 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: note, they have to specify what species of protestor we are dealing with. | Sep 05 06:33 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: and that these are PROTESTORS | Sep 05 06:33 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: not, for example, angry constituents | Sep 05 06:33 |

FurnaceBoy | they're attacking an upright man of peace | Sep 05 07:23 |
schestowitz | Depends how they get the message across | Sep 05 07:24 |

schestowitz | Hi, FurnaceBoy | Sep 05 16:54 |
schestowitz | <FurnaceBoy> the hardest part is finding subtexts | Sep 05 16:55 |
schestowitz | Pretexts? | Sep 05 16:55 |
schestowitz | I went to bed last night before I could reply to you | Sep 05 16:55 |
FurnaceBoy | pretexts, yes. my bad. | Sep 05 16:55 |
FurnaceBoy | g'day | Sep 05 16:56 |
schestowitz | I was not ignoring and it was too late to respond in the morning | Sep 05 16:56 |
FurnaceBoy | ha | Sep 05 16:56 |
schestowitz | I scrolled up cause I knew there was something urgent I wanted to respond with | Sep 05 16:56 |
schestowitz | Alas, can't recall it now | Sep 05 16:56 |
FurnaceBoy | well | Sep 05 16:56 |
FurnaceBoy | ya know that deliberate distancing of 'us' from 'anti-war protesters' really irks | Sep 05 16:57 |
FurnaceBoy | like, aren't they angered constituents? | Sep 05 16:57 |
FurnaceBoy | aren't *we* | Sep 05 16:57 |
FurnaceBoy | didn't *we* pay for it in blood and treasure | Sep 05 16:58 |
FurnaceBoy | not blair | Sep 05 16:58 |
FurnaceBoy | he got more and MOAR treasure | Sep 05 16:58 |
FurnaceBoy | 15 mln quid a year more | Sep 05 16:58 |
FurnaceBoy | 'yeh a few weirdos threw stuff at Blair in Dublin, but don't worry, they arrested them' | Sep 05 16:58 |
FurnaceBoy | there's something really subliminal going on here, not an original observation, but a reminder of how wikileaks might be the last hope | Sep 05 16:59 |
FurnaceBoy | same thing @ g20 | Sep 05 16:59 |
FurnaceBoy | editor of major Canuck magazine labelled EVERYONE who marched 'sociopaths'. | Sep 05 17:00 |
schestowitz | I don't know the difference between the big G's so much | Sep 05 17:00 |
FurnaceBoy | i.e. the right thing is 'stay at home, turn on the tv, it's all you need to know or do.' | Sep 05 17:00 |
schestowitz | Nope | Sep 05 17:00 |
schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: I have many good posts coming | Sep 05 17:00 |
schestowitz | Studying Gates for years leads me increasingly to broader picture | Sep 05 17:00 |
schestowitz | it's not just his, obviously | Sep 05 17:00 |
schestowitz | But I get to understand better what they do and where to get the evidence to present for it | Sep 05 17:01 |
schestowitz | Does Canada disregard Labor [sic] Day BTW | Sep 05 17:01 |

schestowitz | G20... Watts | Sep 05 17:01 |
FurnaceBoy | i don't know | Sep 05 17:01 |
schestowitz | People need to unite around this | Sep 05 17:01 |
schestowitz | The world's rich people join forces | Sep 05 17:02 |
schestowitz | Whereas the people are being isolated | Sep 05 17:02 |
FurnaceBoy | yes. | Sep 05 17:02 |
schestowitz | civil war of minds | Sep 05 17:02 |
FurnaceBoy | the rich have more and better weapons now | Sep 05 17:02 |
schestowitz | "Protestors" vs "good citizens" | Sep 05 17:02 |
FurnaceBoy | area denial, tasers, sound cannon | Sep 05 17:02 |
schestowitz | In reality, protestors are "good citizens" who wwork for the rest | Sep 05 17:02 |
schestowitz | Filling up the gaps (time, effort, personal sacrifice) | Sep 05 17:02 |
FurnaceBoy | yes. that's what really pisses me off about Dublin | Sep 05 17:02 |
schestowitz | I had arguments with people who misunderstand Techrights | Sep 05 17:03 |
FurnaceBoy | these are the people who were betrayed by Blair too | Sep 05 17:03 |
schestowitz | Even people who used to attack me | Sep 05 17:03 |

schestowitz | How so? | Sep 05 17:11 |
schestowitz | It's against people being labelled terrorists | Sep 05 17:11 |
schestowitz | To justify ignoring | Sep 05 17:12 |
FurnaceBoy | hmm | Sep 05 17:12 |
schestowitz | Not just killing | Sep 05 17:12 |
FurnaceBoy | i didn't get that clearly | Sep 05 17:12 |
schestowitz | You know Godwin's Law, right? | Sep 05 17:12 |
FurnaceBoy | yes | Sep 05 17:12 |
schestowitz | Basically, a year ago I saw people evading it | Sep 05 17:12 |
schestowitz | Using other connotations that are more recent and shocking/chilling | Sep 05 17:12 |
FurnaceBoy | well yeah... | Sep 05 17:19 |
FurnaceBoy | 'Taliban lover' | Sep 05 17:19 |
FurnaceBoy | i've been called such things | Sep 05 17:19 |
FurnaceBoy | 'Muslim lover' | Sep 05 17:20 |
FurnaceBoy | Muslim has been equated to Nazi by american brownshirts (thanks Rupert! check's in the mail!) | Sep 05 17:20 |
schestowitz | Arabs even | Sep 05 17:21 |
schestowitz | Although there is an almost one-to-one correspondence there, the race is not a religion | Sep 05 17:22 |
schestowitz | Many religions have that done to them | Sep 05 17:22 |
schestowitz | Like assuming that US=Christian | Sep 05 17:22 |
schestowitz | Or Chinese=Communist | Sep 05 17:23 |
schestowitz | Russia=drunk Christian | Sep 05 17:23 |
schestowitz | ANd so on... | Sep 05 17:23 |
schestowitz | Oh. | Sep 05 17:23 |
schestowitz | Or that Semite=Hebrew=Jewish=Israel | Sep 05 17:23 |
schestowitz | Basically the notion that US citizen=support war is Iraq is largely debunked | Sep 05 17:23 |
schestowitz | People who have friends/family in the States know this | Sep 05 17:24 |
schestowitz | That Bush regime=hawk/power-hungry, disparity wrt to electing population, even despite brainwash | Sep 05 17:24 |
schestowitz | The whole Jihad/expansionism/white supremacy/zionism BS is used when you want to collectively dismiss groups | Sep 05 17:25 |
schestowitz | Like say that _ALL_ Muslims/Arabs want Sharia law | Sep 05 17:25 |
schestowitz | When in fact many are moderates who treat women equally | Sep 05 17:26 |
schestowitz | The last thing they would want is return to barbarism (which Sharia isn't, that's another story) | Sep 05 17:26 |
schestowitz | "return to barbarism" (Scholtz, FUD) | Sep 05 17:26 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz | Basically the notion that US citizen=support war is Iraq is largely debunked <-- long ago, I'd have thought | Sep 05 17:28 |
FurnaceBoy | but, | Sep 05 17:29 |
FurnaceBoy | initially they did | Sep 05 17:29 |
FurnaceBoy | the great majority did | Sep 05 17:29 |
FurnaceBoy | this is true nowhere else but israel | Sep 05 17:30 |
FurnaceBoy | and if not for the recession, probably a majority still would | Sep 05 17:30 |
schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: Would what? | Sep 05 17:34 |
schestowitz | I'm not following | Sep 05 17:34 |
schestowitz | The enlightened world is usually self-critical; it's usually when brutes take power that they imprison, prosecute, drive away, silence or evil kill those who dare to question 'their' country (their books too may later be burned, i.e. silencing/elimination of one's past too) | Sep 05 17:36 |
schestowitz | Remember how the dark ages suppressed rather than rewarded some progress | Sep 05 17:37 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: if not for the recession a majority would probably still support the iraq war. | Sep 05 17:43 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: never underestimate the profound confusion down there | Sep 05 17:44 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: on another note, Arianna's editorials are getting more and more offensive | Sep 05 17:44 |
FurnaceBoy | she's going on a book tour | Sep 05 17:44 |
FurnaceBoy | i don't think this will endear herself to the victims of economic warfare | Sep 05 17:45 |
schestowitz | She can get PR | Sep 05 17:45 |
FurnaceBoy | they don't exactly need a book to tell them they're borderline homeless, and unemployed | Sep 05 17:45 |
schestowitz | Like her mate Bill | Sep 05 17:45 |
FurnaceBoy | the self-PR is disgusting | Sep 05 17:45 |
schestowitz | Got broke? | Sep 05 17:45 |
schestowitz | No house? | Sep 05 17:46 |
FurnaceBoy | why'd you write the book, Arianna? | Sep 05 17:46 |
schestowitz | Buy my book | Sep 05 17:46 |
schestowitz | Discounted at $29.99 :-) | Sep 05 17:46 |

schestowitz | More resentment | Sep 05 17:46 |
FurnaceBoy | right | Sep 05 17:46 |
FurnaceBoy | Arianna will sow resentment. | Sep 05 17:47 |
schestowitz | Uncle Bill is Uncle Tom | Sep 05 17:47 |
FurnaceBoy | the ties between her and the establishment that deleted the middle class, are not hard to uncover | Sep 05 17:47 |

FurnaceBoy | scatter some candy | Sep 05 17:47 |

FurnaceBoy | privilege stinks | Sep 05 17:48 |
FurnaceBoy | oh, i thought yuo meant the mother of the baby | Sep 05 17:48 |
FurnaceBoy | i'd certainly be wiping the stench of privilege off the kid | Sep 05 17:48 |
FurnaceBoy | yes, Melinda + Cherie + Arianna | Sep 05 17:49 |

FurnaceBoy | see, they still don't want to wake up. | Sep 05 17:50 |
FurnaceBoy | 'Bring the dream back! reality sucks!' | Sep 05 17:50 |
schestowitz | FurnaceBoy: where will that position Arianna? | Sep 05 17:50 |
schestowitz | Like Gates and schools... | Sep 05 17:50 |
FurnaceBoy | Arianna will never risk her 'position'. | Sep 05 17:50 |
FurnaceBoy | ever. | Sep 05 17:50 |
schestowitz | "I want to make kids smart [with me at the very top] | Sep 05 17:50 |
FurnaceBoy | that's the curious thing about these people. they never change. | Sep 05 17:50 |
schestowitz | Minister/czar | Sep 05 17:50 |
FurnaceBoy | maybe it's what GOre VIdal meant when he said, 'there are no second Acts in American lives.' | Sep 05 17:50 |
FurnaceBoy | I am increasingly uncomfortable with Arianna's role in all this. | Sep 05 17:57 |
FurnaceBoy | she's looking more and more like a Marie-Antoinette | Sep 05 17:57 |
FurnaceBoy | i'm not sure this fence will bear the weight of her sitting on it much longer | Sep 05 17:58 |
schestowitz | I don't think she is the main problem | Sep 05 17:59 |
schestowitz | I play along with you on it, but she's a facilitator more than a conspirator | Sep 05 17:59 |
schestowitz | She's far less of a vehicle than big media companies | Sep 05 17:59 |
FurnaceBoy | she's not the main problem, but her role is increasingly insupportable | Sep 05 18:01 |
FurnaceBoy | right now, she's getting away with it | Sep 05 18:01 |
FurnaceBoy | but this Third World AMerica business crosses the line | Sep 05 18:01 |
FurnaceBoy | here's another angle | Sep 05 18:02 |
FurnaceBoy | the idea is supposedly to act as facilitator, yes. | Sep 05 18:02 |
FurnaceBoy | as a catalyst for change.. like obama.. | Sep 05 18:02 |
FurnaceBoy | it's all very familiar | Sep 05 18:02 |
FurnaceBoy | but the problem is | Sep 05 18:02 |
FurnaceBoy | why Arianna | Sep 05 18:02 |
schestowitz | But what's her motive? | Sep 05 18:02 |
FurnaceBoy | it's like: Education Minister - why Bill? | Sep 05 18:02 |
schestowitz | I'm sure she's trying to help | Sep 05 18:02 |
schestowitz | She thinks she does | Sep 05 18:03 |
schestowitz | Gates does too | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | yes, she thinks she does. most dangerous kind. | Sep 05 18:03 |
schestowitz | But they also help themselves | Sep 05 18:03 |
schestowitz | They know this | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | no, I don't think Gates thinks he's helping. he never needed to. | Sep 05 18:03 |
schestowitz | But they deny this, even to themselves | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | right. | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | deep denial. | Sep 05 18:03 |
schestowitz | Patting oneself on the shoulder | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | but i don't think Arianna and Gates are so similar | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | personally | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | i mean, we have to ask, Why Arianna? | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | Why Gore? | Sep 05 18:03 |
schestowitz | Hitler too thought he was helping | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | Why Michael Moore? (as many asked) | Sep 05 18:03 |
schestowitz | Not to touch Godwin's law here | Sep 05 18:03 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: better example. Ayn Rand thought she was helping. | Sep 05 18:04 |
schestowitz | He served his dogma but found excuses for himself, I think | Sep 05 18:04 |
schestowitz | Like leaning on religion, eugenics, etc | Sep 05 18:04 |
FurnaceBoy | but, | Sep 05 18:04 |
FurnaceBoy | most of these people are batshit insane. | Sep 05 18:04 |
FurnaceBoy | Hitler, Rand, Gates | Sep 05 18:04 |
FurnaceBoy | Arianna isn't insane | Sep 05 18:04 |
FurnaceBoy | but she's very very confused | Sep 05 18:04 |
FurnaceBoy | and may be walking into a guillotine | Sep 05 18:04 |
FurnaceBoy | either she's very confused, or she's very dangerous | Sep 05 18:04 |
schestowitz | COnfused yes | Sep 05 18:04 |
schestowitz | Cause she wants to help those who need help | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | but she's helping exploiters | Sep 05 18:05 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: I don't buy it. | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | That's where the $$$+power comes from | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | Without them, she's be nothing | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | *'d | Sep 05 18:05 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: I really don't buy that she's "confused". | Sep 05 18:05 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: is Cherie Blair confused? | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | So she wants to help the same group whose subjugators she practically helps too | Sep 05 18:05 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: did somebody not tell her where the 15 million quid she lives off, comes from? | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | Like the FSF taking money from some blob companies | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | Like IBM | Sep 05 18:05 |
schestowitz | But with the FSF they can claim no influence | Sep 05 18:06 |
schestowitz | Lobbyists like Microsoft FLorian take advantage of that | Sep 05 18:06 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: Why Al Gore? | Sep 05 18:06 |
schestowitz | When we had Gogle AdSense in Techrightsa the trolls used this as FUD too | Sep 05 18:06 |
schestowitz | As if we controlled ads that got displayed | Sep 05 18:06 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: Americans don't traditionally like being helped by the 'elites' | Sep 05 18:06 |
schestowitz | Some do | Sep 05 18:06 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: AL Gore: Establishment Liberal. Arianna: Establishment LIberal. | Sep 05 18:07 |
schestowitz | The brainwashed | Sep 05 18:07 |
schestowitz | Who read Time | Sep 05 18:07 |

schestowitz | it's the glue of society... adhesive for classes | Sep 05 18:07 |
FurnaceBoy | does he own The Economist yet? | Sep 05 18:07 |
schestowitz | Not that I know of | Sep 05 18:07 |
schestowitz | They don't seem to play ball for him | Sep 05 18:08 |
schestowitz | I read thousands of articles, I don't think they touch him | Sep 05 18:08 |
schestowitz | Neither good nor bad even though eonomics is what he's all about | Sep 05 18:08 |
FurnaceBoy | they must be part of obstructionist Old Europe then. The stone in his shoe. | Sep 05 18:08 |
schestowitz | The glamous comes to him from Forbes/Fortune | Sep 05 18:08 |
schestowitz | *glamour | Sep 05 18:08 |
FurnaceBoy | yes. | Sep 05 18:08 |
schestowitz | They thrive in their stupid lists and stuff | Sep 05 18:08 |
FurnaceBoy | and that ridiculous thing you linked me to | Sep 05 18:08 |
FurnaceBoy | sycophantic | Sep 05 18:08 |
FurnaceBoy | see... Arianna is blaming the 'White House' for not acting | Sep 05 18:09 |
FurnaceBoy | for not saving the middle class | Sep 05 18:09 |
FurnaceBoy | dangerous game | Sep 05 18:09 |
schestowitz | White House?!?! | Sep 05 18:10 |
schestowitz | Hehe | Sep 05 18:10 |
FurnaceBoy | yes. | Sep 05 18:10 |
FurnaceBoy | that's her premise | Sep 05 18:10 |
schestowitz | Talk about finger-pointing | Sep 05 18:10 |
schestowitz | Then there's the Fed | Sep 05 18:10 |
FurnaceBoy | she's "they're not doing enough. so I'm going on a book tour to convince you to do something, you the downtrodden; | Sep 05 18:10 |
schestowitz | Chomsky has good analysis of thios | Sep 05 18:10 |
FurnaceBoy | schestowitz: it's right there on their front page now | Sep 05 18:10 |
FurnaceBoy | top left, in her pulpit | Sep 05 18:10 |
schestowitz | How those establishments are the shadow cast upon the public by Big Business | Sep 05 18:11 |
schestowitz | They are like 'fronts' | Sep 05 18:11 |
FurnaceBoy | Great metaphor!! | Sep 05 18:11 |
schestowitz | And they have no qwuartedrly profit/brand to defend | Sep 05 18:11 |
FurnaceBoy | that's exactly right! | Sep 05 18:11 |
