This one is pretty self-explanatory. For the past half century or so, at least since the time of Reagan, anti-trust laws, while remaining on the books, have been given no more than scant lip service as companies have continued to get bigger and bigger through mergers and buyouts with seemingly no end in sight. Even the two previous Democratic administrations have failed to reverse the trend. Do you feel that time may finally right for it now? And why has no candidate so far pledged to break up the gigantic corporate trusts of our time they way Teddy Roosevelt (a Republican BTW) did at the turn of the previous century?

Per 'Who Paid The Piper? The CIA and the Cultural Cold War' by Francis Stoner Saunders.

 It chronicles how the CIA, via the Congress for Cultural Freedom, lavishly funded academics, writers, art exhibitions, and journals(including dozens of socialist journals).This program began in 1951 and continued throughout the Cold War. It intentionally nurtured and fed a 'left' that was fixated on personal identity, rejected class struggle, stopped focusing on economic issues and moved the 'left's' focus to questions of racial and gender issues exclusively. In addition, it was also a left that was relentlessly hostile to the Soviet Union, Cuba, or anything that actually threatened capitalism and imperialism. Leftism in the West(and to a lesser degree in other places) stopped being a working class project aimed at actually taking power and became an individualist, petit bourgeois hobby aimed at fulfilling 'personal freedom' within capitalist consumer society.

The FBI in the 1950's and 60's were hardline, reactionary, racist Republican Neandrathals who believed in crude anti communism, reactionary cultural and social values and an opposition to even the mildest democratic reforms(including the Civil Rights movement). The CIA was far more culturally liberal, cosmopolitan and were of the mind that American capitalism had to present itself as the more open minded, "enlightened" option if it was to win 'hearts and minds' in the Cold War. The US had to expand civil rights and gender equality(or at least appear to) in order to stop the USSR from making an embarrassing propaganda weapon out of Jim Crow and other obvious forms of inegalitarianism in the 'world's greatest democracy'. The crude anti Communism of Hoover, McCarthy and the like was counter-productive for international propaganda purposes because many writers and intellectuals even in Europe, never mind the Third World, were sympathetic to socialism.

Groundbreaking Nanotech by RI Company Neutralizes 100% of Coronavirus in Under 1 Minute, Finds Brown

“Graphene Composites (GC), a leading, global nano-materials engineering company with operations in Rhode Island, has announced that independent testing conducted by Brown University has shown its new technology to be 100% effective at neutralizing coronavirus and influenza viruses in under one minute.

The technology -- GC Ink™ -- is a "game changer in reopening schools safely and quickly," according to GC. The findings have been published on bioRxiv.

“Our results show that this technology is very effective at preventing infection by two important respiratory viruses which clearly has important implications for this pandemic and the next one," said top Brown University respiratory virologist Amanda M. Jamieson, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology, who oversaw the study.

The potential applications are wide-ranging, says the company, pointing out that the "fast-acting, extremely effective, and safe formulation of graphene and silver nanoparticles can be applied to masks and other PPE, and in particular, applied to filters in ventilation systems."

When used in filters and masks, GC Ink™ is highly effective at trapping and neutralizing airborne coronaviruses and other viruses/bacteria for several weeks, says GC -- and when used in wipes, GC Ink also leaves a thin, highly effective, safe layer of protection against viruses and bacteria "that lasts for 24 hours."

"The big news is that there are a lot [of these products] that are 99% [effective] in 10 minutes — ours are 100% in less than 1 minute," GC Founder and President Sandy Chen told GoLocal in an interview on Saturday.


"Give anyone the choice, do you want the 99% [effectiveness] in 10 minutes or 100% in less than a minute?" Chen told GoLocal.

Chen believes that GC Ink™ will be able to be deployed at a much more cost-effective rate than other technologies.

"The key thing is this affordable. For a ventilation system in a school, I’d say it’s between $10,000 and $15,000 for the air filtration system [through other companies]," said Chen of competitors. "Ours will be $10."

According to GC, the technology is highly effective because it has a dual-action mechanism: the negatively-charged surface of graphene oxide traps the positively-charged parts of water droplets and the protein spikes on coronavirus; the silver nanoparticles release ions that oxidize the lipid membrane protecting coronavirus RNA, thereby neutralizing it.

“Making the air that we breathe and the surfaces that we touch much safer could be a key enabler in the safe reopening of schools and other public space," said Chen. "GC Ink™ is a powerful weapon against not only this pandemic, but against a broad range of viruses and bacteria. We are now moving into full commercialization of our GC Ink™ with several manufacturing partners in a wide variety of applications, from masks to filters to consumer goods.”

As demand for GC Ink™ rises, Graphene Composites is well positioned to scale production to meet demand across the United States and worldwide, with the State of Rhode Island-funded Nanomaterials Center of Excellence at 401 Tech Bridge serving as a key production facility.

Brown is now in the process of testing the virus in a BSL3 facility in partnership with the Rhode Island Dept of Health (RIDOH). Because the tested Coronavirus OC43 and SARS-CoV-2 (which causes Covid-19) have similar structures, it is expected that GC Ink™ will prove to be similarly effective against SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus.
