Milton Friedman was not given to self-doubt. His commitment to the virtues of unobstructed markets made him the guru of deregulation, privatization, and free trade. In his view, unfettered capitalism is the bedrock of civic and political freedom, whereas societies that inhibit the workings of supply and demand are condemned to lose it. These beliefs undergirded the hyper-globalization that prevailed for half a century from the 1970s, and Friedman was their avatar...
Friedman, the high priest of neoliberalism, eventually watched as his legacy gave way to political monetarism, soaring public debt, and, lately, the return of the regulatory state...
The picture of Friedman and Hayek that emerges is one of idea-makers who
engaged in scholarly pursuits while seeking to instrumentalize their
concepts...

Last summer (2016), researchers at the International Monetary Fund settled a long and bitter debate over “neoliberalism”: they admitted it exists. Three senior economists at the IMF, an organisation not known for its incaution, published a paper questioning the benefits of neoliberalism. In so doing, they helped put to rest the idea that the word is nothing more than a political slur, or a term without any analytic power. The paper gently called out a “neoliberal agenda” for pushing deregulation on economies around the world, for forcing open national markets to trade and capital, and for demanding that governments shrink themselves via austerity or privatisation...

Neoliberalism has created a new political, economic, and cultural context through deregulation, privatization, securitization, and the dismantling of the welfare state. These changes have had a contradictory impact on women. Proponents of neoliberalism have praised the benefits of an unfettered, market-driven economy, extolled the virtues of personal choice and economic individualism as the keys to freedom, and argued that these ostensibly gender-blind economic structures offer opportunities for the agency and empowerment of women...
... Neoliberalism has reversed the benefits of social welfare citizenship that were a hallmark of the twentieth-century Fordist state. Neoliberalism’s dismantling of the economic safety net, trend toward privatization, and rise of the security state have increased the burden on women. The reduction or elimination of welfare benefits for the poor, cutback of social services, reliance on market strategies, and mass incarceration have led to a crisis of social reproduction and a corresponding increase in women’s workloads...
... Neoliberalism has led to population displacement and migration, and relies on immigrant, especially undocumented immigrant, workers. These workers are usually denied citizenship rights or state-based labor protections either because of their immigration status or their occupation....

... Over the last few days, several current and former Tesla workers reached out to Electrek to reveal that Tesla ramped up its use of H-1B visas to replace US workers it let go during a wave of layoffs earlier this year.
We reported that roughly US 15,000 employees were let go at Tesla around April 2024. Every department was affected, but the layoffs were concentrated in Texas and California, where Tesla has more workers than anywhere else.
Current and former Tesla employees said that many of the laid-off US workers were replaced by foreign workers using H-1B visas.
These claims are backed by US Department of Labor data, which show that Tesla requested over 2,000 H-1B visas during the time it was laying off US workers...read more here
I know I wrote AJ should never go full Cyraxx. No one should. And I still mean it. However, that doesn't mean its not extremely obvious that this latest action in the kangaroo court trials of Jones hasn't been motivated by his admission that what Israel is doing in Gaza is genocide. He's being 'taxed' like Cass Sunstein suggested all those years ago. And that is just a fact.

UPDATE: TYT video Kyle Kulinsky video Cyraxx fake crying Cyraxx raging
UPDATE 2: victims of Sandy Hook families want to liquidate INFOWARS judge holds off
UPDATE 3: Breitbart News Network: Born In The USA, Conceived In Israel
UPDATE 4: Jones says Israel's actions are a mass genocide
Cass Sunstein on how to stop conspiracy theorists:
“We can readily imagine a series of possible responses. (1) Government might ban conspiracy theorizing. (2) Government might impose some kind of tax, financial or otherwise, on those who disseminate such theories..." Cass Sunstein, President Obama’s regulatory czar

You don't know? You never go full Cyraxx.
Alex Jones claimed the other day that the feds are going to shut him down. He said they might frame him for crimes, kill him outright and launch false flag events all in the very near future.
A big production starting the night of Trump's jury conviction.
At first Di$info Jone$ came out raging saying 'if you want war, you got it'
Then he pretended to cry for the babies or some shit.
Jones has bragged about being close to Mossad agents. He comes from the Steve Bannon zionist network and now even he (because of Trump's recent statements?) has to finally address the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Israel is losing allies FAST.
It's starting to look like Goebbels and Bernays are running the show around here. Might a sign it's about to pop off.

Yesterday, Michael Lind wrote an article for AlterNet wondering aloud how it is that today’s “doltish” conservatives have adopted the ridiculous philosophies of Ayn Rand (Alissa Rosenbaum) while noted conservatives of yesteryear considered her “preposterous”
I immediately formulated at least a partial answer to that question and as I was writing it out this morning, I happened across a video review of Elysium by Di$info Jones (video below) which proves my point to an almost cartoonish degree.
In short, Di$info says the film is beautifully filmed and well written, but it’s a piece of elitist’s propaganda to promote their ultimate goal of a ‘socialist/communist collectivism” and that it’s “the most racist film since Birth of a Nation” with “the mark of the beast” tossed in for good measure.
He goes on to rant about all the heroes in the film being brown “Latinos” and all the villains being white (except for the protagonist… Matt Damon… who can’t possibly get any whiter. In fact, he looks like a skin-head in the movie)
'What we ACCOMPLISHED was to TELL THE TRUTH",'It's best if they just TELL THE TRUTH','We got up on the stand and we TOLD THE TRUTH','Everybody that took the stand TOLD THE TRUTH'
Four times in 24 seconds Robbie Parker said they all told the truth during the trial after jury awarded them nearly a billion dollars in their lawsuit against Alex Jones. Cass Sunstein would be proud.
