After “Fake News,” one of the terms that is being increasingly being thrown
around by the non-mainstream media is that of a “Deep State.” In this
blog, I shall try to lay out a contribution to the understanding of that
concept, which should help towards developing a working definition thereof.
The term, as used by non-mainstream media, President Trump and his
supporters has, usually, a Veljko Milutinovichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00644159476420817777noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030829747088802378.post-25270957047942390352012-06-21T02:54:00.003+02:002021-12-06T23:44:44.434+01:00The Future of Higher Education
Yesterday,
the BBC portal carried a most interesting story, revolving around the
new joint Harvard/MIT programme for online education
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18191589). The gist is that,
after more than a decade of various experiments with “online” or
“long-distance” learning by "lesser" universities, the heavyweights of the higher
education world are throwing their hats into

As
regards yesterday's individuality, one must limit the argument, at
this point, to Western or quasi-Western democracies. Though we like
to think that we are oppressed, mankind has more opportunities for
individual expression than ever before! Just twenty years ago, there
was NO internet. Accordingly, there was NO Facebook and NO YouTube-no
outlet where we could express ourselves for allVeljko Milutinovichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00644159476420817777noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030829747088802378.post-15208246650771806552012-05-05T04:42:00.004+02:002021-12-06T23:57:12.527+01:00The Ego Trip of the False Individualist and the Sour Seeds of Revolution (Part One)
From the No-Globals, through
the Occupy Wall Street Movement, on to the Stop ACTA Movement, the
revolutionaries of our time are not linked by a common thread. They
are linked by a common rope, off of which only a few individual
threads succeed in peeling off.
The slogans and the
publicly manifested roots of today's mass protests are well-known.
There is a struggle.

I could not help laughing bitterly out loud when I read, on the website of B92, one of Serbia's leading media outlet, a story picked up from Alex Jones' Infowars (http://www.infowars.com/occupy-wall-street-affiliated-with-professional-revolutionary-organization-otpor-cia/). The fact that a reputable, mainstream media outlet relies on Alex Jones as a news source was not the reason I was laughingVeljko Milutinovichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00644159476420817777noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6030829747088802378.post-18058428474486717482010-04-11T03:12:00.011+02:002012-05-05T04:56:30.993+02:00Fascist Liberalism or Why The World Got Screwed in 1914
I'm back!
Sorry to have been away so long...it's the day job that's been giving me a headache, you see.
My trouble of the day comes from a joke a man made last night: he told me that he is politically a "fascist liberal." Go figure....
As we say in Serbia: every joke is half true. That got me wondering...what, if anything, could fascist liberalism be and how did we get to making such Veljko Milutinovichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00644159476420817777noreply@blogger.com1
