May: This Month in Nuclear Threat History
Jeffrey W. Mason | Nuclear Age Peace Foundation - TRANSCEND Media Service,
9 May 2016
May 1, 1962 – A nuclear test code-named Beryl was conducted in French-occupied Algeria. However, due to improper sealing of the underground shaft, a spectacular mushroom cloud burst through the concrete cap venting highly radioactive dust and gas into the atmosphere. The plume climbed to 8,500 feet high and radiation was detected hundreds of miles away. This was just one of 210 nuclear weapons tests conducted by the French government in north Africa and the Pacific region in the period from 1960-96.

6 May 2016 – They have seen what Washington does offer; endless war; the progressive smashing of the nation state; democracy blasted to smithereens; and technocratic governance by the 0.00001%. Yet all this is just the calm before the geopolitical/financial storm. Let’s review the current state of play via the dilemmas afflicting the House of Saud, the EU and BRICS members Russia, Brazil and China.

Eric Zuesse | Washington’s Blog – TRANSCEND Media Service,
9 May 2016
That report went on to document, essentially, that U.S. President Barack Obama is continuing his efforts to replace the only secular, non-sectarian government in the Middle East, that of the Ba’athist Party, which has always been the only non-religious political party in the Arabic world — everything else in Arabia has been fundamentalist-Sunni, to at least some extent (enough for even the least-fundamentalist of America’s Arab allies to cooperate with al-Nusra, which is Al Qaeda in Syria).

Marvin T. Brown | The Next System Project – TRANSCEND Media Service,
9 May 2016
Marvin Brown presents a model for the next system in which economic activity is based not solely on property ownership or the free market but on civic membership in a “global civil society.” He advocates a new approach to system change that would re-frame our social structures around civic relations. Oriented around families, communities, attachments, and mutual identities, this civic economy of provisions would ensure that all people have access to food, housing, health care, and education.

Ken Butigan | PeaceVoice – TRANSCEND Media Service,
9 May 2016
Daniel Berrigan has died, and so we have lost our great teacher who, flinty and generous and relentlessly persistent, taught us how to live in a culture of death and madness: “Find some people you can pray with and march with.” He pronounced this simple sentence at the end of a mesmerizing three-hour conversation he and I had in his simple Manhattan apartment in 1981.

24 Mar 2016 – Philosopher, linguist, and social critic Noam Chomsky recently spoke about his experiences in campus activism and his vision of a just society. An initial signatory to the Next System statement, Chomsky explores the connections between culture, mass movements, and economic experiments—which in “mutually reinforcing” interaction, may build toward a next system more quickly than you may think.

(Português) Espiritualidade e Virtude como Corolários para a Paz
Antonio C. S. Rosa | Editor - TRANSCEND Media Service,
6 Apr 2015
Quando conheci o autor de O Tao da Física, Fritjof Capra, na Universidade do Havaí nos anos 80, ele me disse, sorrindo: “Quando nós, os físicos, chegarmos ao cume da montanha, seremos recebidos por místicos e espiritualistas que dirão: ‘porque demoraram tanto‘”? Estudos de Paz e de Conflito, entre outros fatores civilizadores para os seres humanos, representam a receita, o mapa para o cume da montanha. Tudo tem início e cresce dentro do indivíduo, manifestando-se depois na sociedade. Ou não.

I wish I had a crystal ball to peer into and see what historians will make of our own guns of August in 2060. The fog of war, after all, is just a stand-in for what might be called “the fog of the future,” the inability of humans to peer with any accuracy far into the world to come.

Like Paul meeting the angel Ananias on his way to Damascus experienced a change of heart and became St Paul, so have I met many angels on my own Road to Damascus and, although not gone into sainthood, I have reinterpreted and upgraded my own vision of reality—which I now share with you.

Antonio C. S. Rosa | Editor - TRANSCEND Media Service,
18 Mar 2013
We are meant by nature, the universe, life itself (let’s leave the gods out of this) to be superior beings, elevated in virtue, goodness, righteousness, integrity, ethics, honesty, morality, uprightness, evolved consciousness, and not merely to get richer, smarter, sexier, more cunning, and more knowledgeable to dominate everything and everybody we contemplate-if possible by force. This is the real danger, the aspect that could prompt these smarter, more aggressive (meaning less civilized) people in power to explode the planet through a nuclear war, thus creating a second asteroid belt.

Muitas vezes os aficionados do Massacre de Touros, para justificar a afición deles, dão-nos exemplos de gente famosa, que foram grandes admiradores desse espectáculo primitivo, pensando com isso livrarem-se do peso de uma culpa que sabem que carregam mas não admitem. Ora eu sempre achei que por detrás de um aficionado estaria algo que não bate certo. Os famosos, lá por serem famosos, também têm as suas taras. Por vezes, taras muito maiores do que o comum dos mortais.

Jason Leopold and Jeffrey Kaye - Truthout | Investigative Report,
6 Dec 2010
The Defense Department forced all “war on terror” detainees at the Guantanamo Bay prison to take a high dosage of a controversial antimalarial drug, mefloquine, an act that an Army public health physician called “pharmacologic waterboarding.” The government has exposed detainees “to unacceptably high risks of potentially severe neuropsychiatric side effects, including seizures, intense vertigo, hallucinations, paranoid delusions, aggression, panic, anxiety, severe insomnia, and thoughts of suicide,” said Nevin, who was not speaking in an official capacity, but offering opinions as a board-certified, preventive medicine physician. “These side effects could be as severe as those intended through the application of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques.'”
