Very sad and disturbing. People should not have to die just to keep clothes on our backs.
"9/11
in fact allowed the implementation of emergency measures, the weakening
of the legislative, the start of several wars and a massive increase in
defense spending. The amounts in question easily exceed the imagination
of observers."
A
message from the president of Iceland, where people refused to be
slaves to the world banking system. He says “we did not follow the
traditional, prevailing orthodoxies. We introduced currency control. We
let the banks fail. We provided support for the poor. We did not
introduce austerity measures on a scale you see in Europe. And the end
result 4 years later, Iceland is enjoying progress and recovery very
different from the other European countries that suffered from the
financial crisis.”He added “why do they consider banks to be the holly
churches of the modern economy? People in enlightened democracies are
not going to accept that in the long run.”

THE
HAGUE(AFP) – A Dutch court will decide on Wednesday whether Shell
should clean up oil damage that destroyed a group of Nigerian farmers’
land, a case that could set a precedent for global environmental
responsibility.
Thousands of miles (kilometres) from their
homes in the Niger delta, four Nigerian farmers and fishermen have
dragged the Anglo-Dutch oil giant into court in a civil suit that could
open the door for hundreds of similar cases. The plaintiffs are backed
by environmental lobby group Friends of the Earth. http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2013/01/28/dutch-court-to-rule-in-nigerian-farmers-case-against-shell/

The
steady rise of ethnic nationalism in the United States over the past
decade is part of the moral decay that infects a dying culture, says
Chris Hedges.
freethoughtblogs.comJeremy Hooper points out something that I’d somehow missed while discussing the religious right’s claim to being
....It’s the same inconsistency they show when discussing
anti-discrimination law. We can’t prohibit discrimination against gay
people because that’s a choice, unlike race. But religion is also a
choice and we forbid discrimination on that basis.
( Certainly 'gay' is promoted as 'a choice' by people like Tom Usher of the misnamed Real Liberal Christian Church and his reams of data pushing that view. What then of the data linking it rather to fever in the mother at a strategic point in the brain development of the foetus ? And if we look at a 'religious upbringing' being a matter of parental subscription to indoctrination of their kids..... whose choice do we mean ? But the similarity of being rather propaganda designed to promote dissent and hatred - mocking 'equality' laws - makes the mystery no mystery at all.

Wow,
I hope something comes of this. For an organization that is supposed
to support youth to have kicked so many in the teeth is abominable.

Queen
Beatrix, who has ruled over the Netherlands for nearly 33 years, has
said she will abdicate on April 30 to make way for her eldest son,
Willem-Alexander. Queen Beatrix made the announcement in a nationally
televised speech on Monday, paving the way for 45-year-old Crown Prince
Willem-Alexander to become the first male monarch in the Netherlands in
more than a century. It was time "to place the responsibility of the
country in the hands of a new generation," Beatrix said in the address
to the country. | http://aje.me/T12Zqv
Anyone surprised? If an oil man's lips are flapping, you can pretty much count on the fact that he is lying.

Large blocks of Sumatra's endangered rainforest may be put up for mining, logging
http://news.mongabay.com/2013/0128-aceh-logging-spatial-plan.html
The Indonesian province of Aceh on the western tip of the island of
Sumatra may be preparing to lift the protected status of key areas of
lowland rainforest potentially ending its bid to earn carbon credits
from forest conservation and putting several endangered species at
increased risk, according to reports.
Absolutely amazing.
What Trolls Think: Life Under The Bridge
I've
said this a few times before, so, sorry for the repetition, but I went
into education because I thought it could change society and its power
relations only to recognise the obvious - that it is created and
maintained by the existing power relations to serve them, and so its
function cannot be anything but to maintain and strengthen these
relations.
Overall, as long as education serves primarily for classifying people
into groups of controllers, workers and excess people and preparing
them for these roles, and as long as this is enforced through economic,
technical and legal means on all sides (eg. through making education
cost a lot, using standardised testing as the basic tool of control,
deskilling the teaching profession and automating it, channeling
talented possible working class leaders into high propaganda pressure
controller positions and "problematic" people into a life alternating
between jail and poverty etc etc), the freedom and possible influence of
teachers within the system is limited.
Of course this is not to say that individual teachers' actions are
worthless, far from it, but I don't expect that a critique of coal (and
fossil fuel) oriented economy will be taught in the near future in most
American schools. I also think learning all through life and not just
to up to one's mid-20s is extremely important.
