THE STORY OF THE GLOBAL NETWORK
Here is Dave Webb's video presentation about the work of the Global Network
that he made for our 22nd annual meeting recently in Santa Barbara. Dave
chairs the UK's Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and lives in Leeds,
England. He is the convener of the Global Network boards.
The piece got great reviews at our conference and features a smash hit by
board member Holly Gwinn Graham (Olympia, Washington) who sings "We're

Spring Statement from Leonard Peltier:
Greetings my friends, relatives, supporters, and all those who support

Following The Money
Mark Felt -- alias Deep Throat -- advised Woodward and Bernstein to follow
the money. It was good advice forty years ago; and it's good advice now.
Consider the following report from Althia Raj at the Huffington Post:
The Conservative government has spent $482 million on outside legal fees
since it came to power in 2006. And more than $447,045 to defend the Prime
Minister, his staff and ministers, according to documents tabled in the
House of Commons.
These fees were for lawyer's outside the house that Harper built:

All The Evidence-- That Hasn't Been Hidden-- Points To One Thing: Christie Should Go To Prison

Once upon a time: The refuted roots of organic farming
Can you tell the difference between these two molecules of urea?
Image creditThe urea on the left can be isolated from cattle urine (urea is
the principal nitrogenous waste product of amphibians and mammals). The
urea on the right can be produced via the Wohler process. They are, of
course, exactly the same molecule. Subscribers to organic farming methods,
however, believe that the urea on the left is an acceptable nitrogen
source, while the urea on the right is not.

Ukraine Updates March 28 , 2014 - The United States is continuing to ratchet up its low-intensity sanctions regime against Russia, introducing measures that include a ban on exporting defense items and services to Russia to pressure Moscow over recent events in Ukraine...... Meanwhile, the US House of Representatives is also readying additional sanctions on Russian officials in addition to the 27 individuals sanctioned earlier this month, alongside Bank Rossiya. The bill, which would impose additional asset freezes and visa bans on unspecified senior Russian officials, their close associates and family members, as well as corporations, passed 399-19. Earlier Thursday, a group of US senators called on President Barack Obama to impose sanctions on Russia's defense sector, and more specifically, its state arms exporter Rosoboronexport.

Two examples -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture confirmed that China has canceled orders for 517,000 metric tons of soybeans, used to make cooking oil, and compares to imports of 63.4 million tons last year. South American soybean contracts have also been canceled because of weak demand, says trade journal Oil World , Two large Asian rubber producers, who asked not to be named, said Chinese buyers had defaulted on them. The contracts are already signed, but Chinese importers "refuse to take cargo or pay unless they get discounts.......

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Updates March 26 , 2014 -- Australia has yet to confirm any sightings of the potential debris field announced in Kuala Lumpur. While Hishammuddin was talking, Australian investigators said objects spotted in today's search are not confirmed to be related to MH370. No breakthroughs are reported at today's media briefing by the Malaysian authorities. Acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein stressed that satellite images of possible debris are not necessarily related to MH370. The British company Inmarsat said it is unable to comment on reports that British experts have refused to take part in a briefing with Malaysian officials to relatives of the passengers in Beijing. China doubts remain as to Malaysian claim Flight 370 plunged into the Indian Ocean - Inmarsat finding challenged by chinese authorities who demand evidence to back up theories

Team New Zealand: Sailing in Subsidised Waters
Did you see a government department released a report yesterday informing
us that government spending our money supporting Team New Zealand made us
all $50 million richer? Yeeha! If only they’d spent *even more*.
Economic Development Minister Steven Joyce says the $36 million of
taxpayers' money pumped into the last America's Cup challenge directly
benefited the New Zealand economy to the tune of $87 million.

*While heaping more praise on Rich:* We want to heap a bit more praise on
the New York Times’ Motoko Rich.
As a general rule, the New York Times does terrible education reporting.
Yesterday, Rich did one of the finest education reports we’ve ever seen in
the Times.
Rich discussed an important fact—in many cases, loving parents from
low-literacy backgrounds don’t know that they should be talking and reading
to their infants and toddlers. In our view, this is one of the finest
examples of education reporting ever seen in the Times:

Islamic State of Iraq Fails To Break Into Badush Prison In Ninewa Twice
One of the ways that the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) has

operations have repeatedly occurred throughout central and northern Iraq
with great success leading to the escape of hundreds of insurgents. ISIS
actually failed twice to break out its members from Badush prison in
Ninewa, but that was not for a lack of trying.

Russia, a true petro state, sits on one-fifth of the world's natural gas
supply. About one-third of the natural gas burnt in Europe comes from
Russia via Ukraine, which once housed the Russian capital centuries ago. In
addition, Russia almost exports as much oil as Saudi Arabia.
Not surprisingly, Putin gets his political mojo from oil and gas revenues

WHITEWASHING THE TRUTH
The hypocrisy of Obama is beyond imagination. The fact that he feels he
has to make excuses for US attacks on Iraq, Yugoslavia, or Libya indicates
though that much of the world is not buying what the Obama team is selling.
It's quite sad really that this man is reduced to groveling on the world
stage - "The US attacks are not as bad as Russia's referendums."
In the larger scheme of things the US is finished as the 'shining light on
the hill'. The bulb has burned out.

voice when she's 'relaying a message from the other side'. Now, I don't

such) and her voice-trick might be a *heartless con-man's technique* but I

story, all kindness begins with the sown seed.
Thought buds toward radiance. The gospel of
light is the crossroads of- indolence, or action.
Be ignited, or be gone."

"A Look to the Heavens"
“Barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 is truly a majestic island universe some
200,000 light-years across. Located a mere 60 million light-years away
toward the chemical constellation Fornax, NGC 1365 is a dominant member of
the well-studied Fornax galaxy cluster.

This sharp color image shows intense star forming regions at the ends of
the bar and along the spiral arms, and details of dust lanes cutting across
the galaxy's bright core. At the core lies a supermassive black hole.
Astronomers think NGC 1365's prominent bar plays a crucial role in the

*Climate change: the debate is about to change radically*
*As many Warmists now acknowledge, there is no point in trying to stop
global warming; all we can do is adapt to whatever arises*
The latest report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
(IPCC) is due out next week. If the leaked draft is reflected in the
published report, it will constitute the formal moving on of the debate
from the past, futile focus upon "mitigation" to a new debate about
resilience and adaptation.
The new report will apparently tell us that the global GDP costs of an
expected global a... more »
“Invasion of the Data Snatchers"
*“Invasion of the Data Snatchers:*
*Big Data and the Internet of Things Means the Surveillance of Everything”*
By Catherine Crump and Matthew Harwood
“Estimates vary, but by 2020 there could be over 30 billion devices
connected to the Internet. Once dumb, they will have smartened up thanks to
sensors and other technologies embedded in them and, thanks to your
machines, your life will quite literally have gone online.
The implications are revolutionary. Your smart refrigerator will keep an
inventory of food items, noting when they go bad. Your smart thermostat
will learn your habits ... more »

Holding John Boehner Accountable? Not Steve Israel Or His Lame DCCC
Remember reading how CPAC had once snubbed Chris Christie and had welcomed
him as some kind of conservative hero this year? Well, maybe John Boehner
will be caught up in a big scandal one day that will make him a hero too,
but he-- unlike Mitch McConnell-- was snubbed by CPAC this year.
The speaker has grown increasingly vocal in recent months about his
frustration with tea party members of the House Republican caucus who have
broken with leadership on key votes.
The antipathy is mutual.
“There are not enough curse words in the English language to describe how
movement conservat... more »

R2P: The Tables Turn on the West in Crimea
[image: ox281265770633091448]
*March 27, 2014* (Tony Cartalucci - NEO) - R2P, or the “responsibility to
protect,” was a geopolitical tool used by the West after thoroughly
destabilizing a nation through armed proxies to then intervene militarily,
enact regime change, occupy, and reorder the nation both economically and
sociopolitically. It has been used to devastating effect in Serbia in the
carving out of Kosovo, as well as more recently in Libya.
In Kosovo, the Canadian National Post would report in their article, “U.S.
supported al-Qaeda cells during Balkan Wars,” that:
