​  Russia says both sides affirm intention for Putin-Trump meet in Alaska on Friday, where Ukraine war set to be discussed.​   https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/12/top-russia-us-diplomats-hold-phone-call-before-trump-putin-alaska-meet

​  Russia-Ukraine updates: Kyiv, EU leaders meet Trump ahead of Putin summit​  
Here’s a brief recap of the day’s main events:
​  European leaders held a phone call with Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, discussing a series of issues before Trump meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday.
​  Zelenksyy expressed his desire to be present for future meetings between Trump and Putin, with several European leaders echoing his insistence that Ukraine should be present during discussions over its future.
​  Trump said the call went well, rating it “a 10” and saying there could be a “quick second meeting” with both Putin and Zelenskyy if the initial meeting with Putin “goes OK”.
​  The UK, France, and Germany issued a joint statement saying that a deal must include a “robust” security guarantee for Ukraine and that tougher sanctions should be applied against Russia if Putin does not agree to a ceasefire on Friday.​

​  Big Serge says that Ukrainian units are down to 30% of their designated manpower, consisting of new recruits or exhausted veterans, and without adequate tanks, armored personnel carriers or artillery. They are stretched very thinly along over 1000 kilometers of front, with gaps left when men are pulled to meet Russian assaults. Russia has exploited such a gap north of Pokrovsk, opening it through unmanned Ukrainian defensive trenches, and now preparing to hold it against Ukrainian counterattack by an Azov battalion, which is already tired and depleted.  Scraping the Barrel: Attrition and Cannibalization - Russo-Ukrainian War: Summer, 2025  https://bigserge.substack.com/p/scraping-the-barrel-attrition-and

​  Gilbert Doctorow,  Sputnik Globe: Putin's Master-Move: How BRICS Has Become the World's New Control Room
​  This brief commentary on why Vladimir Putin reached out to BRICS leaders following his acceptance of the Alaska summit with Donald Trump underscores the cohesion of BRICS
​  I was pleased to be one of the respondents to Sputnik on this issue. To what they have quoted here, I add the point they did not put up: that just as Joe Biden’s sanctions and encirclement policies drove together Russia and China, Russia and Iran, so Donald Trump perversely is strengthening greatly the alliance in BRICS of India, Russia, China and South Africa by his bullying.​

​  "President Putin has taken a very important step which will into the future set a precedence," Prof. Fulufhelo Netswera from Durban University of Technology in South Africa tells Sputnik.​ This lets him act confidently with BRICS backing — while equally empowering other members in similar cases.​

​  Nobody else is saying that Zelensky will cede territory.  Ukraine ready to give up lost territories to settle conflict
  Ukraine may give up the territories it had already lost in order to end hostilities and receive security guarantees in the form of arms supplies and NATO membership, The Daily Telegraph wrote.
​  According to the newspaper, Vladimir Zelensky softened his stance in the run-up to the Russia-US summit.
​  It says that the Ukrainian government is ready to freeze the conflict along the current line of combat engagement.
 At the same time, Kiev is not ready to cede territories that it controls in the people’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk (DPR and LPR), and the regions of Zaporozhye and Kherson.
​  The report says European officials believe that Zelensky "has leeway with a growing number of voters who would stomach surrendering land to Moscow as the price for the end" of the conflict. The Daily Telegraph writes that Zelensky "would also have to perform a juggling act as he would be blocked by his country’s constitution from ceding territory without a nationwide referendum."
​  According to the publication, Kiev will only agree to a peace settlement that offers "robust security guarantees in the form of weapons deliveries and a path to NATO membership."​

​  Russia Accuses Ukraine of Planning Provocation Ahead of Trump–Putin Summit in Alaska
​  The Russian Ministry of Defense has issued a warning alleging that Ukrainian authorities are preparing a provocation targeting civilians in the Kharkiv region, aimed at disrupting the upcoming Russia–United States summit between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, scheduled for August 15 in Anchorage, Alaska.
​  According to the statement, the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) allegedly transported a group of foreign journalists to the city of Chuhuiv on August 11 under the pretext of reporting on civilian life near the front lines. Moscow claims these journalists are being positioned to document the aftermath of a planned strike on a densely populated residential area or hospital, which would then be blamed on Russian forces to generate negative media coverage and undermine bilateral cooperation on resolving the war in Ukraine.​   https://www.telesurenglish.net/russia-accuses-ukraine-of-planning-provocation-ahead-of-trump-putin-summit-in-alaska/

Netanyahu: 'If We Wanted To Commit Genocide, It Would Have Taken Exactly One Afternoon'​   https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/netanyahu-if-we-wanted-commit-genocide-it-would-have-taken-exactly-one-afternoon

​  How Netanyahu’s political survival depends on the genocide in Gaza
​  Netanyahu may view this war as essential to his survival, but the cost of that survival is becoming increasingly unsustainable for both Israel and the United States. Israel grows more isolated and vulnerable each day; the US is increasingly seen as complicit in war crimes; and Palestinians are being driven deeper into despair and radicalisation. This is the very formula that turned America’s endless wars in Afghanistan and Iraq into disasters: an enemy that multiplies with every bombing, an ever-receding horizon of victory, and a legacy of destruction that will last generations.
​  If Washington wants to break this cycle, it must change its policy: end unconditional military aid, apply real pressure for a ceasefire, and initiate a political process centered on Palestinian rights. Without such a shift, Haaretz headlines will keep counting: “Israel at War, Day 700… Day 800…” and the deadly queues for food aid will continue to tell the same truth—that this war continues not for security, but for politics. And as the Afghanistan experience showed, no war designed for domestic politics ever ends with honor.​

While the world focuses on alleged 'far-right' movements across Europe, something more sinister is brewing in the home of Lego, Carlsberg and Hans Christian Andersen. Under the cover of environmental protection, the government is planning to confiscate huge chunks of farmland and destroy the agricultural industry that feeds the nation.
​  This is not ‘conspiracy theory’. It's all documented in obscure official government reports — reports that somehow ‘forgot’ to ask the farmers what they think about being put out of business.
​  In 2022, world leaders signed the Convention on Biological Diversity Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, an agreement which commits countries to 'protect' 30% of all land and sea by 2030. But what 'protect' actually means is taking land away from the people who use it productively and placing it in ‘biodiversity reserves’ or similar programmes.
​  The Netherlands feels the pain already. Dutch farmers have been protesting for years because their government needs to seize 3.5% land territory to hit their 30% target. But Denmark has a much bigger problem — they need another 15% of the entire country.​

​  Push To Cut Livestock For Climate Goals (Due To Burping & Farting) Worries UK Farmers, Ecologists​  
Officials insist no mass cull is planned.
​  But farmers are concerned that it’s part of a growing push to reduce livestock levels, which could sacrifice traditional grazing and damage the fragile ecosystems it supports.
​  The UK’s net-zero policies go further than those of the European Commission, where cattle farms remain outside regulatory crosshairs until next year.
​  In February, the UK’s independent adviser on climate action, the Climate Change Committee (CCC), whose advice strongly guides government policy, recommended a 27 percent decrease in cattle and sheep numbers by 2040 in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
​  According to the UK government, agriculture is the country’s largest source of domestic methane emissions, accounting for 49 percent of total emissions. Of this, around 85 percent of agricultural methane comes from cows and other ruminant animals through enteric fermentation and is released as mostly burps but also flatulence.​..
​..Britain’s livestock farms, which are mostly grass-based, are integrated into the iconic patchwork countryside, with sheep and cattle grazing in open fields divided by hedgerows and stone walls as part of a complex natural ecosystem.
​  Alan Hughes, a fourth-generation tenant farmer who is part of the Farmers to Action agricultural rights campaign, told The Epoch Times that wider net-zero proposals on livestock ignore the ecological function of grazing.

​  Climate Physicist, Anastassia Makarieva explains that neither the questions nor the "answers" are straightforward.  Is Extra CO2 Good/Food for Plants?
Reflections on the latest DOE climate report: If we shrugged off anthropocentrism, we would see that CO₂-enhanced growth is not proof of a thriving biosphere, but a sign of its fever.
​  We have now subjected the biosphere to a vast experiment — injecting enormous amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by burning fossil fuels at a rate equal to about one-tenth of what the biosphere synthesizes each year. How did the biosphere respond? Global carbon budget assessments tell us: it began producing extra organic carbon — carbon that, crucially, nobody consumed! (Think about it: the biospheric production line has ramped up output, but no one has claimed the surplus. How should we interpret that? What does it mean?)
​  As a result, a biotic sink for anthropogenic carbon formed, so atmospheric CO₂ now accumulates not at 10 GtC per year as we burn fossils, but at a significantly lower rate. I’ve covered these processes in detail in two earlier posts, which I invite you to read:
​  New Global Carbon Data Revives the "Missing Sink" Problem
​  Nature is trying to fix our mess—it’s time to recognize its power
Here, it’s enough to note that many people — including the DOE report authors — take this as evidence that “CO₂ fertilization” has made the biosphere bigger. Dr. Craig Idso, for instance, illustrates his point with photos showing plants grown under elevated CO₂ concentrations becoming larger (see below).
​  But a recent study by Bar-On et al. (2024) in Science — unmentioned in the DOE climate report — shows that global plant biomass has not increased over the past thirty years. This means something else is happening on a planetary scale: plants don’t grow bigger but are producing extra material that the rest of the biosphere does not consume, so it accumulates somewhere — likely in soils or in dissolved form in the ocean.​

Enigmatic Alaskan Rendezvous

 Wondering Wassup,


  I have been focused upon the assumption that Trump and Putin will meet to negotiate a Ukrainian peace deal in Alaska, as has everybody else. All interested parties are applying pressure to influence this assumed agenda. That makes something-else easier to accomplish quickly. America making a "completely acceptable offer" looks different, when cast in that light. It may have been an offer about something else. 
  Russia has said all along that the fundamental issue of European security arrangements, which respect Russian security needs, also, must be addressed first. How might that begin? Would nuclear-missile agreements cool down that stressful situation as a beginning? Gilbert Doctorow believes that to be the key first step for a win-win-win situation. 
  The question of a trans-Bering-Strait-train-tunnel is a new one to me, but Abraham Lincoln favored such a rail connection after the US bought Alaska from Russia, and before he died. There does not appear to be organized resistance to such an endeavor right now. It could be a bold initiative.

  Air security is an issue for the Russian head of state. Russian air defense missiles have something like a 400 km range.
  The closest US airport to Russia (45 miles?) is Gambell Airport, created in WW-2 to fly supplies to the Russian Allies from St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. 
  On 27 February 1974, a Soviet Union An-24LR carrying a crew of three and ten scientists on an ice-reconnaissance mission landed at Gambell due to fuel exhaustion in bad weather, causing a minor Cold War incident. Villagers, mostly Yupik Native Americans, provided space heaters and food. A U.S. Air Force C-130 flew in a load of fuel bladders with JP-1 fuel from Anchorage to refuel the An-24, which departed at 7:30 pm. She dipped her wings in salute in a pass over the airfield, then returned to Soviet airspace.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambell_Airport

  Gilbert Doctorow,  Transcript of Diesen interview, 8 August
  What is the big issue that would have persuaded Mr. Putin and his close advisors that they should meet with Trump now? What could Mr. Witkoff have brought with him? Well, I think he had to have addressed the core issues. What he could have done to make the whole thing palatable to all sides, meaning also the Ukrainians if they are strong-armed and the Europeans, is to speak about phasing in what is essentially the Russian solution and presenting it in such a way that it would not look like what it is, which is virtual surrenderVirtual surrender is not acceptable to NATO, is not acceptable to the United States.
​  Mr. Trump will be pilloried if he does nothing to sweeten the settlement and to make it seem as though he’s in control. All the news we see on every possible subject these weeks has one newsmaker, and his name is Donald Trump. It gives you the sense that he’s in control of things even if he absolutely is not. And he is certainly not in control of how this war will end.
​  But he has to have the appearance of that. And so he has decided that he should meet with Mr. Putin. And Mr. Putin has responded.
​  Although if you read yesterday’s and today’s “Financial Times”, oh, no, sorry, if you listened to the BBC this morning, you would understand that Putin was eagerly pursuing Trump for a meeting, because that will restore his prestige as an international player. That’s how they turn everything on its head.
​   Well, coming back to this answer to your question, I’ve been a bit long-winded, but the answer to your question: the Americans probably brought a phasing in, stage one, stage two, stage three, which makes it possible to sit and negotiate. The end result will be very much in accordance with the Russians’ demands, which are not maximalist. They haven’t changed one iota from where they were in June 2024, when Mr. Putin reiterated what he first said in February 2022, what Russia’s ambition is, although he put it more clearly and in easier-to- understand terms. But essentially it came to the same thing, what this denazification, well that’s regime change, the demilitarization, well the Ukrainian army goes, but mostly it’s evaporating in front of our eyes. So these things are being achieved and now they want to codify it, but they cannot do it in one session. That will be too awful for the West.
​  So I think the issue to discuss is how to phase this in, in a way that leaves Mr. Trump at least with an off-ramp that’s respectable and the Europeans can go to hell. They’ll have to accommodate to whatever the Americans and the Russians agree, because they will have no weapons to supply to the Ukraine and Ukraine will sink.​..
​..What exactly? The overall overarching concept could be “separate the Russians from the Chinese so we can proceed with taking on China”.
​  However, that falls flat. There is no way conceivable that Russia is going to betray China.​.. It is inconceivable that Mr. Putin will give free access to Russian rare-earth metals to spite China. That is off the table.
​  So what exactly Mr. Trump hopes to achieve considering that Russia and China are inseparable, I’m not quite sure. So we really have to look a little bit further. And I’m not sure that Mr. Trump is, his advisors are blind to that reality. I also have mentioned the timing coming back to why 10 days or what 50 days because September 3rd is inconvenient.
​  It’s too close to the convening of this end of the Pacific war for World War Two the 80th anniversary celebrations will be in Beijing, to which Mr. Trump presumably is desperate to be invited. That is possible. It suggests that the Yalta type meeting that we all thought might possibly happen, when Moscow celebrated the 80th anniversary of the end of the European war, and didn’t happen. Maybe would happen now in the Pacific, in Beijing.​..
..Can’t see a solution on the ceasefire without the Europeans being brought in. But obviously not at the first meeting, just as it’s senseless to have Zelensky there when the only thing that could have motivated the Russians to agree to a meeting has nothing to do directly with the Ukraine conflict. It has to do, as you said, with revising the security architecture of Europe, for which Mr. Zelensky has no place at the table.​..
​..What could they possibly have said to President Putin, what Witkoff could have brought with him, that would be considered constructive and could justify this meeting? And let’s take, put it in the historical context. What did the Americans and the Russians, who disliked one another, who didn’t necessarily respect one another, always put forward as the first topic for discussion? Arms control.
​  Arms control. That is the most value-neutral thing that they could discuss next week, which would set the tone for solving all the other issues, which would receive the undeserved acclaim in Europe and the United States. If they were to discuss restoring the intermediate and short-range missile agreement in a new form and preventing or removing the advance-positioned Russian missiles and the plans for stationing American missiles in Germany next year, that would be hailed by everybody. And from that good atmosphere, they could proceed to the really tough and miserable discussions about concluding the Ukraine war.​..
..If you take off this five-minute long delivery strike times of missiles within the European theatre, life gets a lot easier. You can breathe much easier, and the tension over European security would be toned down considerably. So that could be it, but it’s a guess, nothing more than a guess.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/08/09/transcript-of-diesen-interview-8-august/

​  Gilbert Doctorow,  Transcript of RT Interview, 8 August
​  What is decisive is how did this territory [Alaska] become American? I haven’t heard a word about that. By the way, it was bought. It was bought. It was sold by the Russian Tsar, and it was bought by the Americans.
​  And that’s what we’re going to see now in Ukraine. And nobody’s saying a word about it. But let’s use our minds. Let’s expand a little bit. Let’s be extravagant like Mr. Trump is. The Russians have $350 billion worth of assets that are now frozen in the West. Practically speaking, they have written that off. In their bookkeeping internally, they recouped most of that money by the extraordinary profitability of selling hydrocarbons in the first days of the war. So $350 billion, well, you can buy a lot in Ukraine with that, can’t you?
​  And the opinion of Mr. Zelensky about refusing or accepting the $350 billion in exchange for all of the territory of Ukraine that Russia wants, which is the whole Donbass, the four oblasts that were named. Well, that’s a deal. That is Mr. Trump’s great art of the deal.​..
..Joint projects, of course. Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Direct Investment Fund, has been an integral part of all discussions. And everyone knows that he is a backer of the old idea of a tunnel bridge connecting Russia and the United States over the Bering Strait. So that, of course, is an element that cannot be excluded. At the same time, the real possibilities for further development of whatever is reached on the 15th of August are on a different level. They are at global security.​..
..Mr. Trump has this problem of navigating Congress, and he is stuck with this Zionist presence in Congress. And he cannot, he doesn’t have much wiggle room in dealing with Israel for that reason. For this very reason, it is incumbent on Europe to do something and to take a lead and do something of importance on the world stage and not just kick the tires about Trump’s policies here and there. So, Europe has a great opportunity to lead peace in Palestine. I hope they take it.​   https://gilbertdoctorow.com/2025/08/10/transcript-of-rt-interview-8-august/

  ​Alex Krainer,  The significance of Alaska
On Friday, 15 August Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin will meet in Alaska. The choice of that location sends a very hopeful message to the world.
​  Alaska is where the United States borders with Russia and where the two powers can and should connect. As Matthew Ehret summarized it superbly in his recent Substack article, the idea of physically connecting the US and Russia across the Bering Strait is an old idea because it’s a rather obvious one. It was first advanced already under President Abraham Lincoln in 1864, but sadly, it died with him. It was revived again in 1890 by William Gilpin, the former governor of Colorado, as his “Cosmopolitan Rail” vision, which included building a tunnel under the Bering Strait.
​  The importance of this project was not lost on the Russian government under Czar Nicholas II and his Finance Minister Sergei Witte who hired a number of American and French railway engineers in 1905 to carry out feasibility studies for the project. Unfortunately, the Czar was soon forced to abdicate, his Prime Minister was assassinated and the project never saw light of day.
​  It was revived once more under Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s administration and discussed in 1942 by his Vice President Henry Wallace and Stalin’s Foreign Minister Molotov...
​..However, Wallace would soon be sidelined and replaced with Harry Truman, the clueless tool of the British oligarchy. Once FDR was safely dead, the project was memory holed again: connecting the two superpowers, whether physically, politically, socially, culturally or commercially, fell into disfavor.
​  In his “Iron Curtain” speech in 1946, Winston Churchill declared the Soviet Union as the enemy of the West. He delivered that speech in front of Harry Truman.​

​  Trump–Putin Alaska Summit: Peace Talks And Power Plays On Former Russian Soil
​  The venue of a negotiation often predefines the balance of power between opponents. In that sense, it must be read as a clear show of force that both European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer — notably without military fanfare — traveled to Trump’s private resort in Turnberry to be politically “placed” by the American president. Judging by the outcome of those talks, one conclusion is unavoidable: the European Union no longer plays in the league of the great powers.​..
​..Russian President Vladimir Putin will travel on August 15 to “away territory” in Alaska — once part of Russia — to preliminarily negotiate peace terms in Ukraine with President Trump. Trump sees progress in the stalemated conflict and stresses that the talks will likely lead to a land-swap arrangement “to the benefit of both sides.”​ ...
..By hosting the Russian president at such a neuralgic spot, Trump fuses historical reconciliation with present-day power politics, creating a symbolic setting that suggests readiness for compromise without conceding sovereignty.
​  What might look like a PR coup in the headlines is in reality a move at the highest level of geopolitics. By inviting Putin onto US soil, Trump openly breaks with the prevailing doctrine of keeping Russia isolated. The ICC arrest warrant, the sanctions regime, years of carefully cultivated enemy imagery — all of it, should the meeting take place, would evaporate in significance with a single photograph.
​  The message: The rules the foreign-policy establishment holds as untouchable are negotiable — not carved in stone — at least if the President of the United States decides so.
​  Behind closed doors, the focus will likely be on redrawing spheres of influence: a possible Ukraine endgame in exchange for Russian concessions — energy, Arctic passage, perhaps even a gradual distancing from Beijing.​

・De facto recognition of Russian-occupied territories by postponing the status issue for 49 or 99 years.
・The lifting of most sanctions imposed on Russia and, in the long term, a return to energy cooperation – namely, imports of Russian gas and oil.

Meanwhile, the proposal reportedly does not include guarantees against NATO expansion – one of Moscow’s consistent demands.
​  Russia did not receive any promises that military support for Ukraine would cease. However, according to the outlet, this last point is said to be acceptable to the Russians.​

​  Caitlin Johnstone,  Israel Assassinates More Journalists To Hide Its Planned War Crimes
​  Ahead of a planned Israeli assault on Gaza City which UN officials warn will further exacerbate death and suffering for the Palestinian people, Israel has chosen to assassinate five Al Jazeera journalists who’ve been stationed there. Among those killed was Anas al-Sharif, one of the most high-profile surviving reporters in Gaza.
​  The IDF is of course claiming that al-Sharif was Hamas, because that’s what they always do. They’ve been murdering a historically unprecedented number of journalists and defending their systematic effort to blind the world to their actions in Gaza by claiming that every journalist they kill is Hamas. The journalists are Hamas, the hospitals are Hamas, the UN is Hamas, the peace activists are Hamas, the demonstrations are Hamas, telling the truth is Hamas, human empathy is Hamas, objective reality is Hamas. It’s all Hamas.​

  ​Martin Armstrong,  Militarizing the Capital​  
  Trump’s decision to send the National Guard into Washington, D.C., will be defended as a matter of national security. History teaches us this is not about protecting the people at all. The National Guard was deployed to protect the political class from the people.
​  The United States is now following the same path we have seen throughout history. In ancient Rome, once the Praetorian Guard was stationed in the city to guard the emperor, it became the power behind the throne. Their loyalty was to themselves and the politicians in control at the moment. The guard was not sent to protect the Republic, and certainly not the people. By the time Commodus was in power, the Guard was deciding who would rule, and the Senate’s role was ceremonial at best.
​  The same predicament happened in America’s short history. There was genuine fear in late 1860 and early 1861 that secessionist militias or Confederate sympathizers might attack Washington, capture federal buildings, or even seize Lincoln before his inauguration. At the start of 1861, Federal troops were quietly moved into the city.​..

..We have reached a point where neither side of the political aisle sees the other as a legitimate rival. They see their opponents as an existential threat. That goes beyond the politicians themselves and extends to their supporters...
​..Historically, militarizing a capital is interpreted by foreign capital as a sign of internal instability. The US government fears its citizens, and the leaders believe they need added layers of protection.​   https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/north_america/americas-current-economy/militarizing-the-capital/

​  Blaming Russia,​ not a download for Wikilieaks from murdered Seth Rich:  Whistleblower Ties Clinton Campaign to Fake Russia Hack
​  After examining state-reported breaches of election networks, the whistleblower said, "It seemed only brief interaction was occurring – in some cases, no unauthorized access, or even attempted access, was detected on 'victim' systems." Though the suspicious activity initially was attributed to Russian actors, further analysis raised doubts.
​  But when he brought his findings to his boss, ODNI's national intelligence officer for cyber issues, he was ordered to stop investigating and not include his findings in the final ICA draft.
​  "After being directed to conduct analysis of Russian-attributed cyber activity for the ICA, I had been abruptly directed to abandon further investigation," the whistleblower analyst said.
​  He added that his boss, whose name was blacked out in the whistleblower statement, "directed me to abandon analysis of these events, stating reports of Russia-attributed cyber activity were 'something else.'"
​  While the names of the whistleblower and his boss are blacked out in the report, a RealClearInvestigations search of federal records shows Vinh Nguyen was the national intelligence officer for cyber issues at the time. The whistleblower would have been Nguyen's deputy.​

​  "Escape Key",  From Hierarchy to Technocracy
​  The changes crept in so gradually that most people didn't notice. Your freedom to travel now depends on having the right QR code. Your bank monitors your purchases and reports suspicious patterns to government agencies, all under the banner of safety and security. Social media platforms flag your posts as ‘misinformation’ if they question official policies, while your children learn in school that ‘individual rights’ must always be ‘balanced’ against ‘collective responsibility’. When you visit your doctor, everything you say gets entered into databases shared across agencies and institutions you've never heard of.
​  These aren't separate policies responding to different problems. They're connected pieces of a single framework that treats you not as a free human being, but as a data point to be monitored, measured, and managed for the stability of a larger system.​
