It is outrageous hypocrisy to see the West arming, funding, and politically backing terrorists in Syria who in fact both possess, and are now using such weapons against the Syrian people.

10 March 2003 – We, the Citizens of Iraq, are gathered here for your entertainment in the first 21st century media circus, to celebrate once again the tradition inaugurated by your forefathers during the time of the Roman Empire — an empire that your current Leader aspires to emulate. We who are about to die salute you was the phrase traditionally used by those about to die in the gladiatorial circus arenas of that time. Nos Morituri Te Salutamus!

Johan Galtung, 18 Mar 2013 - TRANSCEND Media Service,
18 Mar 2013
The first Jesuit pope. The Society of Jesus, founded by Ignatius de Loyola, was a renewal movement from the inside in 1534 after the huge outside reforma, the protestantisms, Luther-1517 in particular. More than four centuries was needed to reach the top; maybe the Church changed, maybe Pope Francis is a soft Jesuit. Jesuits are known for being priests exercising their ministry, and for having a second profession, often as intellectuals, and high level ones. Pope Francis has the same double reputation. Promising.

The Horsemeat scandal, ou o escândalo da carne de cavalo, começou no mês passado quando carne de cavalo foi descoberta em hambúrgueres congelados à venda no Reino Unido e na República da Irlanda. Desde então, vestígios foram descobertos em produtos de carne processados e refeições prontas em toda a União Européia. Os olhos e ouvidos abolicionistas já detectam, de primeira, especismo explícito.

If humans are ever to achieve a stable global society in the future, they will have to become much more modest in their economic behavior and much more peaceful in their politics. For both modesty and peace, Gandhi is a useful source of ideas. The problems with which he struggled during his lifetime are extremely relevant to us in the 21st Century, when both nuclear and ecological catastrophes threaten the world.

Il terzo livello di quelli sopra delineati, i mercanti, ovviamente esigono la loro parte, usando il proprio capitale bancario per comprare potere politico, addirittura fino all’estremo del salvataggio pubblico qualora le perdite superassero i guadagni. La bancocrazia opera mediante un parente stretto, la corruttocrazia, il governo dei corruttori sui corrotti pagati per i loro servigi. La corruzione è rampante. Perché? Perché la corruzione nel sistema politico, la conversione di denaro in decisioni, ha un parente stretto nel sistema economico, la commissione.

In the 1970s, I met Leni Riefenstahl and asked her about her epic films that glorified the Nazis. She told me that the “messages” of her films were dependent not on “orders from above,” but on the “submissive void” of the German public. Did that include the liberal, educated bourgeoisie? “Everyone,” she said. Today’s “message” of grotesque inequality, social injustice and war is the propaganda of liberal democracies. It is the ultimate means of social control because it is voluntary, addictive and shrouded in illusions of personal freedom.

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.

On March 5, 2013, Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela and world leader against imperialism, died. Washington imperialists and their media and think tank whores expressed gleeful sighs of relief as did the brainwashed US population. An “enemy of America” was gone. Chavez was not an enemy of America. He was an enemy of Washington’s hegemony over other countries, an enemy of Washington’s alliance with elite ruling cliques who steal from the people they grind down and deny sustenance.

The much cited novel by Aldous Huxley (Brave New World, 1931) is recognized as having anticipated many more recent problematic developments in society and its technologies. As social satire, the novel envisages a world in which the population of Gammas, and the lower castes, is deliberately accelerated by genetic engineering — consistent with continuing approaches to unconstrained population increase.

La palabra catástrofe es ahora presente con frecuencia en los titulares de los periódicos y las editoriales. Casi siempre, la cuestión es cómo evitar la catástrofe, pero la impresión que se tiene es de unos anti-catastrofistas al borde de una crisis de catastrofismo, hablamos de gente que por educación ideológica y cultural se inclina a rechazar la posibilidad de una evolución catastrófica de la situación actual (el clima, el estado de la economía y las relaciones sociales) y la consiguiente necesidad de cambiar de dirección.

Last month [Feb 2013], a proposal to establish a U.S. Special Operations Command Center for Excellence in Operational Neuroscience at Yale University died a not-so-quiet death. The broad goal of “operational neuroscience” is to use research on the human brain and nervous system to protect and give tactical advantage to U.S. warfighters in the field. Crucial questions remain unanswered about the proposed center’s mission and the unusual circumstances surrounding its demise. But just as importantly, this episode brings much needed attention to the morally fraught and murky terrain where partnerships between university researchers and national security agencies lie.

Is this the third intifada? The more people on both sides talk about the Third Intifada, the less it is likely to happen. As the Germans used to say, Revolutions foretold are not going to happen. But if there is no end to the occupation in sight, the Third Intifada will break out one day, quite suddenly, when nobody has been talking about it, when everybody on both sides was thinking about other things.

For the first time in history, science has given to humans the possibility of a life of comfort, free from hunger and cold, and free from the constant threat of infectious disease. At the same time, science has given us the power to destroy civilization through thermonuclear war, as well as the power to make our planet uninhabitable through pollution and overpopulation. The question of which of these alternatives we choose is a matter of life or death to ourselves and our children.

On Monday [25 Feb 2013], Rubin declared that America’s “greatest national security threat is Iran.” Do conservatives really believe this? How is America, with thousands of strategic and tactical nuclear weapons, scores of warships in the Med, Persian Gulf, Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean, bombers and nuclear subs and land-based missiles able to strike and incinerate Iran within half an hour, threatened by Iran?

The concern here, in a time of increasing chaos, is the possibility that whatever is implied by the elusive sense of “togetherness” and “getting one’s act together”, these call for “new thinking” — and the recognition of the value of deprecated “old thinking”. It is increasingly clear that authoritative coherence is not to be expected, and when it is offered it tends to be part of the problem.

The merchants, of course demand their share, using their bank capital to buy political power, even to the bailout point should the losses exceed the gains. Bankocracy works through a close relative, corruptocracy, the rule of corruptors over corruptees paid for their services. Corruption is rampant. Why? Because corruption in the political system, converting money into decisions, has a close relative in the economic system, a commission.

He said that cease-fire without conflict solution may reopen the violence and conciliation without conflict solution is only pacification. “This may lead to massive instability, general strike, violence. Conflicts must be addressed creatively by the country’s leadership in order to genuinely address the people’s daily sufferings,” he suggested.

I was also here mediating in 2003, during the war, and again in 2006. This is my third visit in terms of having dialogue with people. What I hear in all places is this: ‘We’re afraid that if they come up, they’ll treat us the way we treated them.’ That fear is then protected by prejudice—they’re inferior, they don’t have the culture etc. “

Israel is heading towards a profound internal crisis: a Jew on Jew confrontation, which, however, has major implications for its relations with Palestinians, as well as its Middle East neighbors. The conflict is between the highly militarized Zionist state and the Haredim religious movement over a number of issues, including recent proposals by Netanyahu to end the religious exemption of Haradi youth from serving in Israel’s colonial armed forces.

Nepal – Tibet is seen less as suppressed part of China and more as home of Tantric buddhism–a strong link to the giant neighbor to the North. Nepal’s majority is India-oriented, but the Weekly Mirror takes a world view from high up, and that highest peak, Mt Everest, is closer to China. Somebody once climbed it, “because it is there”, to get a closer look at China. The world becomes more transparent, seen from high up.

Libya abandoned its nuclear program in 2003 in a bid to mend relations with the United States and later saw leader Muammar Gaddafi overthrown in an uprising that was eventually supported militarily by Washington.
