It's already happening in a lot of industries. People are Getting laid off left and right from factory jobs, where a Robot will do certain things faster, better, and with less [http://XXX.XX.XX.XXX:6077/link.php?M=5072519&N=919&L=1&F=T] Fussing than a man would... Machines [http://XXX.XX.XX.XXX:6077/link.php?M=5072519&N=919&L=501&F=T] don't "question" instructions and direction That they're given. You tell them what to do, and they Just get it done. Fear and doubt doesn't affect a machine from getting Started. You enter in the command and off it goes to Do its j.o.b. Now when things DO go wrong, and they always do, That???s where the power of being a human comes into Play. You can actually think, analyze the situation, and Change course or direction at will. You can think on Your toes and adapt to your environment as needed. And that's power. The truth is, that we're far superior to any robot or machine, and we always will be. When you think about moving the right direction in Your life though, I think sometimes, you need to Think more like a robot... When you're given a proven system [http://XXX.XX.XX.XXX:6077/link.php?M=5072519&N=919&L=501&F=T], you then don't question yourself or the process. You just do it. You don't let fear of the unknown, or the fear of Failure creeps in and stops you. You just implement. You're simply a lean mean action taking machine! Today, I challenge you to start a system, and like A robot, doesn???t doubt, don't fear, don't over analyze. Just... get... started. Here's a "proven plan" that if you will follow step by step, I'm 210% confident that you will be Successful. Click the link below and get at it: Robots vs Human...

the HASTAC docx file as rtf - this might be easier
Hi - some people couldn't open the http://www.alansondheim.org/hastac.docx file; please try http://alansondheim.org/hastac.rtf - this might be easier. Both will probably download the file to your download directory; it should be easy to open from there. Feedback welcomed.

It's time to recover lessons from useful past and don't follows Snowhite's and other Mirrors funnies. Since Feuerbach, we understand exactly what is "subject" and "predicate", even if periodically neoidealism, bergsonism, proudhonism, heideggerism and other irrational-isms (fully analytics but zero substances) try to cook the same old smog. I understand that now is impossible to read, tweeting or tubing, papers like "Das Kap" and, with the risk to "keep it too much simple", maybe useful for Jasnaja Poljana or J.Dewey "kommunist" last-survived school only, here some suggestions from strange humans. "Salary ("handcraft, even with the pen !") and capital ("slot machines' watermelons") ARE in opposition" (Saint Simon).

Yanis Varoufakis: Greek Banksters in Action
< http://yanisvaroufakis.eu/2013/04/19/greek-banksters-in-action-on-the-latest-twist-in-the-story-of-mafia-style-terror-spreading-through-the-greek-polity/ > Greek Banksters in Action: On the latest twist in the story of mafia-style terror spreading through the Greek polity 19 Apr Last November I posted a piece entitled A Small Victory for Press Freedom in Greece's Struggle against Cleptocracy. That story concerned the courageous decision of Kostas Vaxevanis, one of Greece's few, valiant investigative reporters, to publish the so-called Lagarde List; the list of Swiss bank account holders that Greece's political class did its utmost to keep hidden, to pretend that either it never existed or that it had been `misplaced'. Since then, Vaxevanis has been arrested by Special Branch officers, was tried in the Greek Courts, was acquitted triumphantly, and, more recently, awarded one of international journalism's top awards. In an earlier piece, last July, (entitled Bankruptocracy in the Greek Sector of Bailoutistan) I had drawn my readers' attention to the remarkable revelations of Reuters' Stephen Grey regarding the ponzi scheme put together by Greek bankers for the purposes of usurping Europe's bank recapitalisation rules, pretending that they managed to draw private capital into their insolvent banks which never really existed. My piece castigated the Greek media for maintaining a veil of silence on these corrupt and criminal practices, while highlighting the troika's curious lack of interest in the shenanigans of bankers who are receiving billions of European taxpayers' money (in the process of the so-called `recapitalisation' process). Today's post links these two stories together in a manner that you, dear reader, will find startling, worrying, enraging, disconcerting. It comprises, mainly, the summary of a letter that Kostas Vaxevanis sent to a London based journalist last week (the translation and summarising from the Greek original is mine). With this letter Vaxevanis sought support, advice and an opportunity of spreading the news of the dire situation faced by Greeks (citizens and journalists) who refuse to keep silent in the face of deep seated, criminal corruption. I urge you to read on. "In May 2012, I investigated the functioning of Greek banks, with special emphasis on a certain Greek Bank (The Bank henceforth) and its Chairman (The Chairman). I found that The Chairman's family members were the secret owners of a number of offshore companies that would receive loans from the bank without any real collateral. These loans would then: (a) be written off as unserviceable, or (b) be used to buy office space that would immediately be resold to other parties which would then lease them to The Bank or sell them to The Bank at inflated prices. In addition, other offshore companies were used by The Chairman to borrow substantial amounts from two other Greek banks, again with no collateral, for the purposes of buying shares The Bank (thus helping the bank demonstrate its capacity to draw in private capital). Since then the owner of one of these two other banks has been imprisoned (on different charges) while the second bank involved has played a central role in bringing down the Cypriot banking system (after its merger with one of the island's now collapsed banks and the transfer of its headquarters from Greece to Cyprus). After the publication of these two investigative pieces, photographs of Stephen Grey (the Reuters investigative reporter who broke a part of this story to an international audience), were published in various websites with the caption: "The man who came to destroy Greece". Worse still, the same blogs circulated a `document' which `showed' that I was on the payroll of the Greek state's intelligence services. I managed to defuse this campaign of defamation by writing extensively about it in the press. On 11^th September 2012, late at night, a group of 4 or 5 people staked out my home. It was only accidentally that I avoided being ambushed (my motorcycle had a flat tire and I thus returned home in a friend's car). Upon noticing the stalkers I called the police and asked them to come quietly. The police arrived noisily and went to a nearby house first, thus giving the men plenty of time to make their escape. For days, the police refused to investigate properly or to call eyewitnesses to make a statement (later, after I published the story, they did). Since then, I have been denied police protection (unlike most other journalists) and have had to resort to private security. Soon after the failed ambush, a woman visited my office insisting that I should see her to discuss "the bankers' designs" on me. I decided to meet with her. She was a frightened woman who claimed to be in grave
