Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:
"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
CORPORATE CASUALTIES
MY FRIEND WORKED FOR IBM
For two weeks-"It was like a prison"
Cubicle like a caged hen.Following orders.Pecking orders.
Another lasted in PROJECT BLUE for 19 years-
about to retire when they called him in-
"if you can find another position at your (high)pay rate,you can stay"
They did not want to pay retirement.Unemployed today.
Corp[orate "culture"@GOOGLE and YAHOO
Offers free snacks ,bean bags and casual wear..
But contracts demand obedience.Quotas must be met
Dismissal with no appeal,as no Unions allowed in there.
FAKEBOOK subject to Government inquiries.See!on TV
Even Mark Zuckerberg stressed FB needs ethical controls
"Self-policing is never enough"(post Cambridge Analytica scandal)
Your personal data is sold to advertisers.You are the targeted product.
Corporate Think intimidates whistleblowers..Snowden fled to Russia.
Others end in prison.These corporate power structures need dis-assembling..
Ask TWITTER vs MUSK.Do YOU give permission for your data to be mined and sold?
Even those off-grid are surveilled.Even millionaires cannot buy privacy.A.I is watching.
Bots and apps track you,in and off the clock.Science fiction becomes science fact.BREAK THAT!
Came,ZARDOZ!!Break BRAZIL!Way past 1984!We need no more ANIMAL FARMS!
Where is George Orwell,our first investigative journalist?Where is Hunter S Thompson?
