“The microbial composition of the gut microbiota varies across the digestive tract. In the stomach and small intestine, relatively few species of bacteria are generally present.[9][10] The colon, in contrast, contains a densely-populated microbial ecosystem with up to 1012 cells per gram of intestinal content.[9] These bacteria represent between 300 and 1000 different species.[9][10] However, 99% of the bacteria come from about 30 or 40 species.[11] As a consequence of their abundance in the intestine, bacteria also make up to 60% of the dry mass of feces.[“The last article was written 15.01.2017
Federico PIERACCINI projections have not come true.
“In this fourth and final analysis I will focus on a possible strategic shift in the approach to foreign policy from Washington. The most likely hypothesis suggests that Trump intends to attempt to prevent the ongoing integration between Russia, China and Iran.”What Trump say and what Trump does are not the sole factors in this game.

Good! You have an optimist message.

I don’t have a way to get out of our predicament.
Nor can someone a lot smarter than me find a solution.
https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=233277There is no hidding below the horizon of those that have the wealth and power.
What can the bloggers and their followers do?
The bloggers have more resources than the students and the students were able to mobilize 1 million.

You forgot to list the following groups …
You forgot to list the impact that they have on our social/economic systems
They are the unrecognized and the unappreciated
They are blinded by their big ego
They are invisible and irrelevant.
The bloggers, the commenters, the prophets, the fact checkers,
We are invisible and irrelevant.
The street people already know that.
The street people will be among the survivors.Guess what … I still don’t know why our social/economic system are not changing.
There are thousands of critical bloggers and 10,000 of critical commentators.
Almost all of the bloggers are in the 10% and/or are in the well-to-do educated middle class.
Almost all stand to be the biggest loser if their la-la-land were to change.A million student marched to influence the law makers to change the gun laws.
Guess what … the students outnumber the bloggers.
I think I got it …..
Those that have the power and the wealth needed to make changes are called the elites.
The only change that the non-elite will achieve will be the change that the elites find good for themselves.

Karl cannot change the system.
and
I know that my influence is even less effective.Summary (Yes, in case you didn’t notice, I’ve said these things before)
I have been reading and commenting on this blog since it started.
I learned how our social/economic system operates and why those systems can and do collapsed.
Now, except for details, I feel that we are all on the same page and agree on most thingsNothing stays the same. Change is in the air.
Yesterday is gone
Tomorrow is here.Are we any different than Don Quixote with our comments on the blogs?
Did we make a difference with our comments?
Why do we keep making comment?
We are not changing the system.We are not changing anybody’s opinions.
Why do we keep doing it? Why do we keep crying wolf?There has always been writers, (since before Jesus), warning the populations of impending doom.
Lot’s wife… gone-middle east civilizations ..gone-.new world civilizations … etc.Yet … I’m here, you are here. We are the children of survivors.
Fact Check with a grain of salt
(Propaganda, false news, lies, exaggeration, dramatization, brainwashing. indoctrination, disinformation)
Are we prophets? Are we fact checkers? It doesn’t matter. The elites are not listening.

We are invisible and irrelevant.”1. Every month 15-20,000 young Greeks leave Greece.

Israel’s decision blend high-tech drone technology coupled with chemical weapons against civilians paints a turbulent outlook for spring uprisings in the region. Nevertheless, please do not mention this technology to the countless militarized police forces across the United States; otherwise, this dystopian technology is coming to a town near you.
Protestors will need to arm themselves against drones if they wish to protest
Law enforcement will use increasingly deadlier force against rebels who disobey orders to disperse.

Those “expert” know. However, since they are smarter than me, they are not telling me because I’m not smart enough to understand.

The latest story, that I remember, is “The economy is doing great.”(Heheheh … Go visit the Greeks if you don’t believe it)
