Posted on April 23, 2021 by camelotkidd

On a path towards radicalization

Posted on March 5, 2021 by camelotkidd

I’ve always been fascinated by understanding how our world really works. Not the bedtime stories told by our parents, teachers and corporate media talking-heads but the real events that shape our world. It’s why I try to read everything I … Continue reading →

Instagram Insurrection

Posted on January 8, 2021 by camelotkidd

The Damage Done

Posted on November 6, 2020 by camelotkidd

Narrative Management

Posted on October 23, 2020 by camelotkidd

The last four years of Russia-gate, the fairy-tale collection of made up connections between Donald Trump and Russia, has been one long process of narrative management. All the “cool kids” (meaning the elite-corporate media stenographers) settled on a narrative that … Continue reading →

Missed Opportunity

Posted on October 16, 2020 by camelotkidd

What’s fucked is that after the Wall Street crash of 2008, (an event that should have discredited our all-American brand of financial capitalism for a generation), the bi-partisan Washington Consensus sabotaged any effort to re-leash our financial oligarchy. The obscene … Continue reading →
