“The most effective way to keep people down is to make them feel so bad about themselves if they disobey authority, that they wont rebel. They wont join together. They wont do anything about it.”…
“The “conversation” about sexual assault never needed Asia Argento, Rose McGowan or the #MeToo movement. It’s time to stop letting real people be destroyed by other people’s fiction while pretending that we can’t tell the difference.”
“Is Soylent the future of food? CEO Rob Rhinehart lived on his liquid invention for 30 days straight, and the feat propelled him to internet fame and fortune. So I decided to become the first person to repeat his feat—for a month straight, I’d try to live on nothing but the chemical cocktail, just like Rob. Along the way, I’d investigate the how an artificial food replacement might impact human health, Silicon Valley, and the world at large. This is the story of life after food.”

Top 5 things you need to know about Soylent:
01) Abby Martin On Billionaires Silencing Independent Media
“Suddenly without warning, between 4 and 5 pm on Monday, August 13th, the Facebook page of teleSUR English was unpublished for the second time this year.
This was done without warning or advance notice, the only message that teleSUR received from Facebook was an automatic notification sent to our email account saying:

“Organizers for the group chose not to answer questions from The Hill, but provided a statement announcing they were there to ring the alarm about Kavanaugh’s “anti-abortion, anti-healthcare and anti-women” views.
“Brett Kavanaugh is an extremist ideologue who, if confirmed to the Supreme Court, will take away women’s basic rights,” the groups’ statement read.
The protesters were portraying the characters in the popular dystopian drama on Hulu, based on the 1985 book by Margaret Atwood, where women are forced into sexual servitude and denied rights such as reading and walking alone.”
“Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has introduced the most ambitious anti-corruption legislation since Watergate. Join her fight to close the revolving door between big business and government, end lobbying as we know it, and make this government work for the people.
01) Wolfgang Halbig: Former Darling of the Sandy Hook Conspiracy Movement and ‘Nobody’
“Earlier in the year, I took it upon myself to fact check one of Alex’s many videos on the subject. The video I chose was titled, “FBI Says Nobody Killed at Sandy Hook Massacre” which was a 30-minute interview between Alex and the prominent Sandy Hook conspiracy theorist, Wolfgang Halbig. In the video, the two discussed what they considered to be the best evidence for a conspiracy, which can be boiled down to them misreading paperwork, misinterpreting a 2-second aerial video clip, and not understanding how chroma-keying works.
The focus of my video was on Alex and not Wolfgang, who I dismissed as “some nobody”. My blatant disrespect infuriated many who believe in the conspiracy, and they soon took to my comments section where they informed me of Wolfgang’s credentials. It turns out that he is an expert in school shootings, and was hired by the U.S. government as an advisor after the Columbine massacre. If you look a bit deeper, you find out that Wolfgang says he is also a former Florida State Trooper, and United States Customs Inspector. But who really is Wolfgang? And what has he achieved?”
