via Bruce de Torres: Here, deep into 2023, what are the worst things happening – the most dangerous and important things that we’re facing – and what’s the good news?

The Looting Conspiracy
So, what’s really behind this explosion in retail theft? And, more to the point, what do the powers-that-shouldn’t-be have in store as their “solution” to this (generated) problem? The answers may surprise you.
FLASHBACK FUNNY: Who Sponsors The Corbett Report??!!
FROM 2018: The Corbett Report is brought to you by…wait for it…(drum roll please)…you. Yes, you. I know it’s not an exciting answer, but it’s the truth. No advertising. No corporate backing. No hidden funders. Just people like you. So why not subscribe and help keep this commercial-free material coming?

Do NOT Go Back to Sleep! This is NOT the End!
Remember the end of The Return of the Jedi? It's something I've referenced a few times because it's a handy cultural signifier for a certain idea. For those who don't know, here's the gist: Darth Vader is dead. The Empire has fallen. The Rebels have won! Time to...
What Hitchcock Taught the Social Engineers

2022: The Year Ahead
I'm sure I don't need to tell you that there are many ways that the current global crisis could play out in 2022 and, sadly, none of them involve everyone joining hands and singing "Kumbaya" until the Gateses and the Schwabs of the world have a change of heart about...

How to Play 3D Chess
It's a ridiculous, no good, stupid, rotten meme. You know, the idea that every horrible move that Precedent Trump ever made (like appointing John Bolton or launching Operation Warp Speed) was actually some super-complicated three-dimensional chess move intended to...
They Know What You Are (Now They’re Haggling Over the Price)
There's an old joke about a wealthy man talking to a famous actress. After he asks her if she would sleep with a stranger for a million dollars, she delivers an enthusiastic, "Yes!" He then inquires if she would do the same for five dollars. Offended, she fumes: "Five...
5 Ways Biometric Security Can Be Spoofed
Remember when you were a kid and you tried to imagine what the world was going to look like in the far-off, sci-fi-sounding year of 2021? What did you imagine? Weekend trips to the moon? Flying cars and jetpacks to take you around elevated cities? Robot butlers? The...
