					<description><![CDATA[<p>Almost no news media coverage of this surreal situation: CDC  disinterest in an illegal Chinese-funded lab with pouches of ebola, transgenic mice with COVID-19 and other extreme hazards. No coverage by NYT, CNN, MSNBC or NPR. Only one day of token bury-the-lede coverage by WaPo. See the 8-minute video at Twitter explaining how the city of Reedley, California rang the alarm, crying out for help to the CDC, which reluctantly, ultimately, did a shitty job of &#8220;investigating&#8221; this lab, despite ubiquitous evidence of dangerous wrongdoing.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>This morning I received 17 wonderful gifts. Maria Popova’s website has been one of my places of respite for many years. <a href="https://www.themarginalian.org/2023/10/22/17/?mc_cid=4e2c299847&#38;mc_eid=8e55e58711" target="_blank" rel="noopener">In her most recent article, </a>she celebrates her 17 years of online writing at “The Marginalian” by crystallizing 17 lessons she has learned along the way. Here is Maria’s introduction to her 17 lessons:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">The Marginalian was born on October 23, 2006, under an outgrown name, to an outgrown self that feels to me now almost like a different species of consciousness. (It can only be so — if we don’t continually outgrow ourselves, if we don’t wince a little at our former ideas, ideals, and beliefs, we ossify and perish.)</p>
<p>What follows are merely the titles to Popova&#8217;s 17 lessons. She discusses each of these more fully at her website. Everything she writes is, somehow, both analytically precise and poetic. I&#8217;ve printed this list and it has gone up on my wall so that I have daily reminders:</p>
<blockquote><p>1. Allow yourself the uncomfortable luxury of changing your mind.<br />
2. Do nothing for prestige or status or money or approval alone<br />
3. Be generous.<br />
4. Build pockets of stillness into your life.<br />
5. You are the only custodian of your own integrity<br />
6. Presence is far more intricate and rewarding an art than productivity.<br />
7. “Expect anything worthwhile to take a long time.”<br />
8. Seek out what magnifies your spirit.<br />
9. Don’t be afraid to be an idealist.<br />
10. Don’t just resist cynicism — fight it actively.<br />
11. Question </p></blockquote>&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>From Matt Taibbi&#8217;s latest article, &#8220;<a href="https://www.racket.news/p/why-julian-assange-must-be-freed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Why Julian Assange Must Be Freed</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">[S]ecrets do not belong to governments. That information belongs to us. Governments rule by our consent. If they want to keep secrets, they must have our permission to do so. And they never have the right to keep crimes secret.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">I’m an American. Many of you are from the U.K. In our countries, we’re building skyscrapers and huge new complexes to store our secrets, because we don’t have room to keep them all as is!</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Why do we have so many secrets? Julian Assange told us why. From an essay he wrote:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">&#8216;Authoritarian regimes give rise to forces which oppose them by pushing against the individual and collective will to freedom, truth and self realization. Plans which assist authoritarian rule, once discovered, induce resistance. Hence these plans are concealed by successful authoritarian powers.&#8217;</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">When governments become authoritarian, they inspire resistance. Techniques must then be developed to repel that resistance. Those techniques must then be concealed.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">In short: the worse a country is, the more secrets it has. We have a lot of secrets now.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">Julian Assange became famous as we were creating a vast new government-within-a-government, a system of secret prisons, extraordinary rendition, mass surveillance, and drone assassination. Many of these things we know about only because of Wikileaks. Ostensibly, all this secrecy was needed to fight foreign terrorism.</p>
<p style="padding-left: 40px;">The brutal irony now is the architects of that system no longer feel the need to hide their &#8230;</p>]]></description>
