Weekend Update 24/3/18: Can We Escape Doomsday?

New Study Proves Capitalism's Apocalyptic Deadliness

"Human destruction of nature is rapidly eroding the world’s capacity to provide food, water and security to billions of people, according to the most comprehensive biodiversity study in more than a decade."  Comment: our Capitalist  overlords' murderous exploitation of the environment and contempt for our Motherland Planet Earth also proves their moral imbecility. Obviously their attitude is rape the world now while they can and fuck the future because by the time the apocalypse peaks, they'll  already be dead. Which suggests a new name for what is destroying us: Kamikaze Capitalism.  
    

     Bolton's Appointment Could Mean Apocalypse Is Inescapable
"Eighteen years after the Supreme Court's Bush v. Gore decision and 15 years after Bush's invasion of Iraq, too much of the world is what John Bolton and his PNAC friends have made it: a smoldering crater stinking of permanent war, surrounded by refugees and choking on austerity to pay the butcher's bill." See also: "Bolton is expected to take a hardline stance against...Cuba and Venezuela and Nicaragua..." And especially this: "...the Empire can now either fold or double down. If it decides to fold, war will be averted and meaningful negotiations finally entered into. If it doubles down, something the Neocons always do, then this means war with Russia."  Comment: it also means war with China, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Vietnam, ultimately with most of the rest of the world. Thus the de facto Fourth Reich of the Empire will either be mercilessly (and often vengefully) crushed as was its Third Reich forefather or -- far more likely given the Empire's Christian belief in destruction as salvation -- it will deliberately nuke Earth into a bug planet.

Nebraska Law Would Deny Impoverished People Family Planning

"...a (Republican) proposal denying Title X funds to any health center that performs, counsels about, or refers for abortion services...would block access to care for nearly 28,000 Nebraskans who rely on Title X for family planning and reproductive health care. 

                 

Border Patrol Nullifying Constitutional Rights of 66% of U.S. Population
