Antonio C. S. Rosa, editor – TRANSCEND Media Service,

Pela primeira vez a sociedade portuguesa que não gosta e defende o fim das corridas de touros foi ouvida pelo poder político. A audiência com o Primeiro-Ministro Passos Coelho surgiu na sequência de uma iniciativa do Governo destinada a eleger a causa mais popular em Portugal. A abolição das touradas foi a causa vencedora com a esmagadora maioria dos votos, revelando uma vontade social inequívoca dos portugueses em abolir este espectáculo que implica o sofrimento e o maltrato em público de milhares de animais.

7 May 2012
To criticize Israel’s current foreign policy is not anti-Semitic, but a part of democratic debate. Johan Galtung, like many others, is the proponent of a prosperous and peaceful Israel, in peace with all its neighbors. He has a concrete proposal, first time made public in 1971: A Middle East Community of Israel with its five Arab neighbors, modeled after the European Community of the Treaty of Rome, which went into effect in 1958. This very proposal was published by Akiva Eldar in Ha’aretz in 2007 under the title “Ingredients for a True Peace Process.”

The US Senate approved tougher economic sanctions against Iran on Thursday [1 Dec 2011], vowing to penalize any financial institutions that do business with Iran’s central bank. Consequently, other countries such as China, Japan and India are prohibited to conduct oil trade with Iran. Under such an arrogant bill, it is hard to imagine how the US would borrow money from the central banks of its creditors to make up its bleak budget in the future. China need not pay attention to it.

31 Oct 2011
Investor Bruce Rastetter and AgriSol Energy have their sights on 800,000 acres (325,000 hectares) of land in Tanzania that is home to 162,000 people. Several generations of families who have successfully re-established their lives by developing and farming the land over the last 40 years, will be displaced against their will. They will lose their livelihoods and their community. We fear that this project could move quickly forward unless the Tanzanian government and the US investors realize that the world is watching. We ask that you join the Oakland Institute in holding Bruce Rastetter and AgriSol team accountable and send them the message that proceeding with their plans is not “socially responsible agricultural investment.”
