Re: <nettime> England leaves Europe

[John Young <jya@pipeline.com>]

US deeper colonization of Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand
and lesser arms and bribeable chattels advances in accord with full
spectrum ultra imperial resurgence.

English-dominated communications and responsible cogitation now
affirmed by digital-coded hegemon of Internet, cellphones, smart cities,
IoT, cloud, enforced by mushrooming cyber commands of aggression
of finance, education, arts, propaganda, critical thinking, specialized
studies, weaponry, intelligence, fronts, grants, contracts, hired hackers,
duplicitous apologia, above all, celebrity, entertainment, media.

This mono-lingo, dog-years old, distinguished list a fine example of
low and high level parlay voo as the only way to go forth and colonize
Five Eyes and Eyelets by carefully calibrated acceptable topics
slathered with narcissism of white male cosmetic no matter the
multi-hued ethnic dermatology.

Official secrecy is the disease ravaging worldwide cultures, only
craven subjects are given access to curatives.
