		<description><![CDATA[I participated, May 1-11, 2013, in a Peace Delegation to Lebanon-Syria, along with fellow TRANSCEND member Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire and 15 others from six countries. I shall report next week on what I saw, heard  and witnessed along with my own conclusions and insights from interviews (including with armed rebels), audiences (incl. Prime Minister, four others), visits to hospitals, refugee camps, churches and mosques. I talked with a member of the political opposition to Assad’s regime. He was in prison for 24 years (out for 11) and wants changes—but without outside interference.]]></description>

According to the NY Fed, there are 530,000 gold bars, with a combined weight of circa 6,700 metric tonnes stashed in the Fed’s Lower Manhattan vaults. But according to them, “We do not own the gold. We are mere custodians.”]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Conspiracy theorists of the world, believers in the hidden hands of the Rothschilds and the Masons and the Illuminati, we skeptics owe you an apology. You were right. The players may be a little different, but your basic premise is correct: The world is a rigged game. We found this out in recent months, when a series of related corruption stories spilled out of the financial sector, suggesting the world's largest banks may be fixing the prices of, well, just about everything.]]></description>

They are frightened, in other words, that these chemicals might end up with the very same rebels, especially the Islamists, that Washington, London, Paris, Qatar and Saudi Arabia are supporting. And if these are the "wrong hands", then presumably the weapons in Assad's armoury are in the "right hands".]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is one change that the US could make in response to terrorism: the part U.S. policies play in creating and sustaining it. We are not supposed to say this, as if discussing why we are hated justifies the targeting of  Americans because of their government. But the fact that nothing justifies terrorism does not mean that nothing causes it. Terrorists (in this case Muslim terrorists) target the US because they perceive us as their enemy. And with good reason.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like the helpless Desdemona, we, the people of Koodankulam, have been begging the Indian State to let us live, live in peace with our families, Nature and Future. But the haughty, conceited and obtuse men of power in political Delhi, nuclear Mumbai and profiteering Russia are persisting with their Othello-like lies and murders and self-destruction. The Koodankulam handkerchief in this modern Othello is surrounded by, sustained with, and steeped in lies. Lies, lies, and more lies!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows this story, though fewer and fewer read it on paper.  There are barely enough pages left to wrap fish.  The second paper in town has shut down.  Sometimes the daily delivers only three days a week.  Advertising long ago started fleeing to Craigslist and Internet points south.  Subscriptions are dwindling.  Online versions don’t bring in much ad revenue.  Who can avoid the obvious, if little covered question: Is the press too big to fail?  Or was it failing long before it began to falter financially?]]></description>

To do this, let the parties, outside and inside Syria, talk. Let them state their goals, the Syria they would like to see. What comes to mind is a Swiss solution. One Syria, federal, with local autonomy, even down to the village level, with Sunnis, Shias and Kurds having relations to their own across the borders. And non-aligned, which rules out foreign bases and flows of arms.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Slavoj Zizek posed the key question in terms of the Decline of the West. The (closet) winner is "capitalism with Asian values' - which has nothing to do with Asian people but everything with the tendency of contemporary capitalism to suspend democracy". French philosopher Jean Claude Michea argues that post-modern politics has become a negative art - defining the least bad society possible. That's how liberalism became, as neoliberalism, the "politics of lesser evil". Well, "lesser evil" for who's in control, of course, and damn the rest.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There was a secret history of twenty-first-century American war crying out to be written.  Now, we have it in the form of Scahill’s latest book, Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield. Scahill has tracked, in particular, the rise of JSOC - Joint Special Operations Command.  In Iraq, it grew into a kind of Murder Inc., “an executive assassination wing,” as Seymour Hersh once put it, operating out of Vice President Dick Cheney’s office.  It next turned its hunter/killer methods on Afghanistan and then on the planet, as the special operations forces themselves grew into an expansive secret military cocooned inside the U.S. military.]]></description>

The FBI, predictably, sticks to a convoluted screenplay worthy of those cocaine-fueled Hollywood nights in the 1980s; a couple of bad guys who ''hate our freedoms'' because... they do. Welcome to the sweet abyss of an Orwellian vortex. 2013 increasingly looks like 1984.]]></description>
