The Quality of Information Within A Hierarchy

Paul Rosenberg – People very often expect authorities to possess superior information. After all, the assumptions of the 20th century were that those at the top of large systems have information the rest of us don’t, and that they make better decisions because of it. This was the lesson of the factory, the military and government. In all cases, those at the top were believed to have the best information.

In actual practice, however, those at the top don’t get the best information. An FBI agent in Minneapolis, to use a famous example, knew all about the bizarre behavior of the 9/11 hijackers, but that information never reached those who were expected to use it. Continue reading

The Legal Drama: Letitia James’ Pursuit of Donald Trump

The Legal Drama: Letitia James' Pursuit of Donald Trump

Douglas Andrews – This is how sick our society has become: Letitia James ran for attorney general of New York in 2018 on a platform to perp-walk and prosecute Donald Trump, calling him “illegitimate” and “an embarrassment.” And she won.

Perhaps New Yorkers, though, upon reflection, would ultimately realize that the Get Trump industry is a crooked one and that decent people don’t elect an attorney general on a promise to go after a particular citizen but rather to duly uphold and enforce the law. But no. The citizens of the once-proud but now Trump-deranged Empire State reelected her in 2022 by nearly half a million votes. So much for calls of conscience. Continue reading

Preventing Democracy: DNC’s Effort to Block Third-Party Candidates

Preventing Democracy: DNC's Effort to Block Third-Party CandidatesJonathan Turley – The last time that the Chicago Democratic Convention was held in Chicago in 1968, the resulting riots led to one of the greatest Freudian slips in American politics. Mayor Richard Daley declared “the policeman isn’t there to create disorder; the policeman is there to preserve disorder.”

The Democratic National Committee has now added its own gem: the Democratic Party is not here to preserve democracy, it is here to prevent democracy.

That’s because the DNC is seeking to block third party candidates from ballots — Robert Kennedy Jr., Cornell West, and Jill Stein. All three are liberal and are considered a threat to Joe Biden. Continue reading

UK Gov’t Officially Labels Shakespeare’s Plays ‘Hate Speech’

UK Gov’t Officially Labels Shakespeare's Plays ‘Hate Speech’Sean Adl-Tabatabai – The British government has declared that William Shakespeare’s work is “racist, sexist, and ableist” and should therefore not be celebrated in schools or theatre’s.

According to a taxpayer funded study by the University of Roehampton, Shakespeare has been disproportionately represented and has enabled “white, able-bodied, heterosexual, cisgender male narratives” to dominate theatre. Andy Kesson, complains that “masculinity and nationalism were crucial motivating factors in the rise of Shakespeare as the arbiter of literary greatness” adding that “[w]e need to be much, much more suspicious of Shakespeare’s place in contemporary theatre.” Continue reading
