This New Orleans shotgun home is collapsing as a corporate billboard rises up from it’s foundation, becoming a metaphor for society as a whole. Our habitat has been taken over by advertising, we are constantly barraged with corporate messages telling us what we need and what products to buy. Despite the amount of money, time, and resources put in to advertising, it serves no practical purpose towards improving the living condition of the 99%, or the environmental state of our planet. So we must ask, what could we accomplish as a society if we were to redirect the resources wasted on advertising into social programs? What could we do with the public spaces that would be freed up if advertisements were no longer occupying them? The possibilities are endless.

Shut Down AFRICOM
“The U.S., France and Britain increasingly intervene in Côte d’Ivoire, Libya, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda and South Sudan. Meanwhile, the U.S. looks to erect new military bases for their military forces of AFRICOM. Having lost some their foothold on the continent due to the national liberation movements of the 20th century, the U.S., France and Britain are deliberately working to recolonize Africa.” VIA FightBack!
“The newest outpost in the U.S. government’s empire of drone bases sits behind a razor-wire-topped wall outside this West African capital, blasted by 110-degree heat and the occasional sandstorm blowing from the Sahara.” “Since taking office in 2009, President Obama has relied heavily on drones for operations, both declared and covert, in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Yemen, Libya and Somalia. U.S. drones also fly from allied bases in Turkey, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines. Now, they are becoming a fixture in Africa. The U.S. military has built a major drone hub in Djibouti, on the Horn of Africa, and flies unarmed Reaper drones from Ethiopia. Until recently, it conducted reconnaissance flights over East Africa from the island nation of the Seychelles. The Predator drones in Niger, a landlocked and dirt-poor country, give the Pentagon a strategic foothold in West Africa.” VIA Angry Arab News Service
