The State of Independence: British Colonialism Replaced by a New Hegemony

Colin Todhunter at EAST BY NORTHWEST - 9 minutes ago
CounterPunch, RINF, Global Research, Dissident Voice, Countercurrents *India celebrates its independence from Britain on 15 August. However, the system of British colonial dominance has been replaced by a new hegemony based on the systemic rule of transnational capital, enforced by global institutions like the World Bank and WTO. At the same time, global agribusiness corporations are stepping into the boots of the former East India Company.* The long-term goal of US capitalism has been to restructure indigenous agriculture across the world and tie it to an international system of ... more »

Negative Waves in Space

LL at Virtual Mirage - 20 minutes ago
NASA's Van Allen Probes observed a new population of space sound waves, called plasmaspheric hiss, which are important in removing high-energy particles from around Earth that can damage satellites. Other bodies in the solar system don't have the protective measures that Earth enjoys and when robotic space craft visit (and later humans riding in the can), can be negatively influenced by conditions that are unfamiliar, and are not compensated for (presuming that compensation is possible. And before I'm accused of making negative waves, you should read the whole article. Listening t... more »

Rediscovering A Lost Method Of Preserving Strawberries with john townsend.

arclein at Terra Forming Terra - 1 hour ago
The chopped strawberries are preserved with sugar and chopped raisin.. The sugar draws out the moisture to produce a thick syrup along with shrunken strawberries and softened raisins. This is a really neat product that deserves revival. It can be served as a sweet chutney and also used as an ingredient in baking. Also think that this product may well be superior to frozen berries which are best served by grinding up or cooking anyway. My experience with frozen raspberries and frozen strawberries has always been that they were a poor compromise and took effort to improve. Thi... more »

A Bronze-Age Sword Found In Denmark Is Still Sharp 3,000 Years Later

This sword is literally from the time of the Iliad and the Trojan War. Its mere existence proves a robust Bronze Age heroic culture. Recall that work by the writer DaVinci showed that the whole Trojan narrative is properly located in the Baltic right down to identifying all the listed towns in the proper order. It all happened one generation before the climate collapse of 1159 BC drove all out of the Baltic population overland to Greece and by sea as the Sea Peoples to then grab Greece and the Levant.
