WATCH: The Nobel War Prize Strikes Again
And the Nobel Peace Prize goes to…María Corina Machado?
Wait, what’s going on here? Why does it seem like, far from celebrating a champion of peace, the Nobel Committee is in fact paving a path to war? Let’s find out!

This Halloween in the New Normal
Our successor to This Week in the Guardian, This Week in the New Normal is our weekly chart of the progress of autocracy, authoritarianism and economic restructuring around the world.
1. Climate Change is ruining Halloween, too
Everything for everyone everywhere is getting more expensive, and yet it’s always for different reasons. Brexit or Putin or Covid.
For chocolate, it’s Climate Change. Trump too, but mostly climate change. Something about growing cocoa beans and extreme weather events I think. I don’t know, after a few years of doing this, things start to blur together.

Jay Forrester & the Blueprints of Ecological Doom
When the Club of Rome’s first report, The Limits to Growth, was published in 1972, the editor of the prestigious academic journal Nature was scathing. John Maddox criticised irresponsible scaremongering as ‘the Doomsday syndrome’, but he was rowing against the tide.
Broadsheet media and broadcasters publicised the report, and the Club of Rome succeeded in making ecological alarm the priority of the United Nations.
Arguably, Limits to Growth was one of the most destructive books ever written, although it was more a work of fantasy than fact. The report, produced by a team at Massachusetts Institute…...

REVIEW: Martyrs to the Unspeakable – A Luminous Tapestry of Truth
To weave a magnificent tapestry like the one James W. Douglass has created with Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, Martin, and RFK takes a steady hand, a hopeful heart, and a steadfast dedication to seeking truth and telling it through factually based and interwoven stories.
Because of its brilliant complexity and documented details, it is difficult to review, but I will say at the outset that it is a masterpiece, the culmination of Douglass’s life of writing about and fighting for peace and justice for our human family.

Black, White, and the Comfortable Lie
I was talking to a very close friend the other day who happens to be a die-hard Trump hater (I know what you are thinking, don’t ask). We unfortunately drifted into a “discussion” about the January 6 fiasco (and also don’t ask me why I bother). Time and time again, I run into this sort of thing—where the position on the left believes they are 100% right about any particular controversial topic.

Did AI just Evolve? I don’t think so.
On October 23, Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying, hosts of the DarkHorse podcast, reported the discovery, which is described in a pre-print paper (not peer-reviewed). Weinstein and Heying were spooked by the claim, supposing that this instance might be just the beginning. Soon LLMs might advance science too rapidly into unprecedented frontiers before proper cautionary measures can be taken.
After listening to the DarkHorse episode, I decided to look into this.

Rule by Thieves: The Police State Becomes a Pay-to-Play Shadow Government
America has been backsliding into kleptocratic territory for years now, but this may finally be it. A kleptocracy is literally “rule by thieves.”
It is a form of government in which a network of ruling elites “steal public funds for their own private gain using public institutions.” As analyst Thomas Mayne explains, it’s “a system based on virtually unlimited grand corruption coupled with, in the words of American academic Andrew Wedeman, ‘near-total impunity for…...

To paraphrase the G20’s website: that’s not good—that’s bad.

Donald Trump’s threat to sue the BBC for one billion dollars is yet another fake division intended to prop up the make-believe “sides” in the political debate.
That’s the short version. Here’s the backstory.
Last month, the BBC’s flagship anthology documentary series Panorama aired an episode on the January 6th “insurrection” which “accidentally” edited together two speeches by Donald Trump, making it seem he explicitly ordered people to attack the Capitol (he did no such thing, but that’s old news).
