The Long, Strange #History of ‘Manifesting’

It is only by understanding the religious and occult tradition from which the concept of manifesting descends that we can see it for what it truly is: a spiritualized gloss on the same deluded logic that suggests that #poverty is a choice, and that underpins so much political #disinformation. After all, if reality is only ever what we make it, then those who possess the fewest scruples about conforming to the truth are the ones who will have the most power to shape the #future.

The big, pathway-determining climate decisions will be made by politicians in Jakarta, by public utility officials in #SãoPaulo, by oil company executives in #Dubai, and, most of all, by cabinet ministers in #NewDelhi and Politburo members in #Beijing. People that we have near-zero leverage over.

UK children shorter, fatter and sicker amid poor diet and poverty, report finds

Children across the UK are getting shorter, fatter and sicker amid an #epidemic of poor diets, food insecurity and poverty, according to a report warning that millions are facing a “timebomb” of avoidable health conditions.

The average height of five-year-olds is falling, obesity levels have increased by almost a third and the number of young people being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes has risen by more than a fifth, the report by the Food Foundation said.

Aggressive marketing of cheap ultra-processed food, diets lacking essential nutrition and high levels of poverty and deprivation are driving the “significant decline” in children’s health, researchers found.

No one’s being honest about it - how Tory #NHS crisis forces patients to go private

You’ve got a trend there, which is the state government moving responsibility for paying for healthcare away from collective resources, taxpayer income, back on to the individual.

• Nobody’s being honest about the extent to which this is happening.
• No politician has stood up and advocated for it.

It’s a trend which has been happening increasingly over the past 30 years with Labour, Conservative and Lib Dem parties in charge.

Fake ads, real politics: the art of Foka Wolf, the ‘Birmingham Banksy’ – in pictures

The Guardian

Anonymous street artist Foka Wolf uses the language of advertising to highlight political and social issues, from the PPE crisis to food banks. “I grew up in a low income, single-parent household,” he says, “so I take it very fucking personally when people in power try and demonise those who are broke and voiceless.” Known as the Birmingham Banksy (“I prefer Poundland Banksy”), Wolf has fooled countless people with his fake billboards. “There’s a lot of power in putting words on paper. One poster was offering students money to grow 23 pairs of ears on their back and quite a few people were up for it.” During tough political times, does it get harder to make satire? “Easier. More dickheads – more targets.” (...)

Britain seems stuck in a doom loop of poverty. I have a plan to raise billions to address that

But how to fix it? Three seismic shifts have unfolded over the last decade.

First, the welfare safety net has been systematically shredded, with the government abandoning responsibilities taken for granted since 1945.

Second, charities and food banks, which have taken over from universal credit as the last line of defence, are exhausted and justifiably angry about having to pick up the pieces with insufficient resources. They even fear their desperate relief efforts could provide cover for the government walking further away.

Third, unsure how they fit into a poverty-free, pollution-free future, the corporate sector has in the last decade donated less, not more.

Yet the many business leaders who are now championing a greater sense of environmental and social responsibility know they can, and should, play a bigger role.

800 people die from poverty related matters every day in the wealthiest country in the world… the U.S.

Starvation and illness is, domestic and foreign policy: it’s the capitalist logic!

This graphic from the #BBC is telling. It shows the percentage that various income groups in the #UK pay in #tax. What can't be overlooked is how much the #poorest end up paying as a percentage of their #income. So while the richest can boast how much they are contributing in absolute terms to government services, the poor are paying nearly as much as a percentage of their already meagre spending power.

Iranian "Ham-Mihan" published an article just a few days after 45th anniversary of Iran's revolution comparing the prices of goods at the moment with those before the 1979 revolution.

According to the article, the annual inflation in Iran has always been around 20% and in some years over 40% , resulting in the staggering 900 thousand percent increase or 9000 times of almost all the items in the society.

This is very close the toe exchange rate of the US$ compared to Iranian Rial, back in the 79, 1 US$ was between 69 and 73 Rials, today it goes between 480k-620k rial.

As for the salary of the people, they have not followed the massive increase in prices and they have increased less than 5000 time, resulting in an almost 50% loss in purchase power of most of the citizens and a massive increase in poverty in the society.

I wish I could go back one day and have a chance to visit places I used to go to and have a chance to live (one last time at least) the joy of live in a place I always call home!

As a result of the wars unleashed by the U.S. after September 11, 2001, 38,000,000 civilians were displaced.

This is the second highest result in world history. Only World War II resulted in more refugees.

Direct military aggressions, the so-called "war on terror" which led to the creation of ISIS, and economic strangulation have all led to disastrous consequences for the people of a number of states in the Middle East and North Africa, forcing ordinary people to flee their homes, cities, villages and states to other countries.

According to a report https://t.co/MLXyekTZTQ by the Watson Institute for International Studies (an interdisciplinary research center at Brown University, Rhode Island, USA) and with the assistance of Boston University:

1. #Afghanistan - 5.9 million refugees
   
2. #Pakistan - 3.7 million refugees
   
3. #Yemen - 4.6 million refugees
   
4. #Somalia - 4.3 million refugees
   
5. #Philippines - 1.8 million refugees
   
6. #Libya - 1.2 million refugees
   
7. #Syria - 7.1 million refugees
   

The report is based on data from 2001 to 2020 + some data collected in 2021.

It is based on the UN data, U.S. documents and information from public sources.

However, the report itself states that 38,000,000 is a very conservative estimate and in reality, the figure can reach from 49,000,000 to 60,000,000, which actually reaches the figures of World War II.

...

To these processes can be added the huge number of refugees from #Ukraine after the U.S.-backed coup d'état and civil war that broke out there.
