12 November - My Feedly! 3 of 3

Government and Taxes

This is a heart-warming story written by Bishop "Ambo" David. I know him personally -- cool, warm and very friendly priest, now a Bishop. He is the younger brother of my former boss for 3 years, Prof. Randy David during 'Public Forum' days in IBC Ch 13 in the 90s. When I went to the Netherlands for 3+ months in 1987, I was also able to see him in his graduate school, University of Louvaine I thin
* This is my column in BusinessWorld yesterday, October 30, 2018. The Duterte government is known for political environmentalism and recycling — it recycles its heavily tainted officials, sacking them from one post only to be given another post in another government agency. The Bureau of Customs in particular is becoming more known as a “blinded” facilitator of multibillion pesos worth of importe
Last week, I have a brief and friendly debate in fb with a friend Rodney, who suggested that all mining activities in the Philippines should be closed because of the various environmental damage they cause. I countered that he should also give that advice to Australia, Canada, USA, Russia, Indonesia, Sweden, UK, Chile, etc. They are among the biggest mining exporters in the planet. Rod cited two

If this trend continues, Duterte 6 years will add P3,162B. Now there is a post by Brondial shared 3,800+ by the DDS camp, implying that public debt started only during the Gloria
* This is my article in BusinessWorld last October 25, 2018. Yesterday, a lecture on “Capitalism and inclusion under weak institutions” was delivered by national scientist Dr. Raul Fabella, my former professor at UP School of Economics and fellow columnist here in BusinessWorld. Another columnist Romy Bernardo mentioned the lecture in his column here last Monday. Dr. Fabella talked about the prim

Reducing our meat intake is crucial to avoiding climate breakdown, since food production accounts for about a quarter of all human-related greenhouse gas emissions, and is predicted to rise. In western countries, this means eating 90% less beef and five times as many beans and pulses. Edi

We are doomed unless we recognize society has been subverted. In historical perspective, anyone who takes seriously his country's call to war is a dupe.

The SVR is the Russian CIA. This excerpt which claims Wikileaks is a Russian operation details Trump's ties to Russia and their opinion of him. It debunks the notion that Trump is a Russian asset. They regard him as unstable and unreliable. But it does describe a kind of collusion. So what? Why shouldn't Russia support a pro-peace candidate? In this report, Putin attributes anti-Russian agitation
By Henry Makow Ph.D. The midterm results last week can be understood by the following quote from yours truly: "Organized Jewry is a corrosive acid that seeps into the fissures of society (class, gender, race) to undermine it in the name of "social change." Despite this moral posture, there is no genuine desire to empower the goyim. See communism, feminism, migration, homosexuality in this light."
Harry Coor shines a light on a neglected form of migration, foreign students. There are a half a million foreign students in Canada and surveys indicate that half plan to apply for citizenship. They pay about 5 times the tuition of locals so schools have huge incentive to accept them whether or not they are qualified. After graduation, their employment prospects are often disappointing.

As Chair of the House Education and Labor Committee, Adam Clayton Powell Jr., (1908-1972) US Rep from Harlem (1945-1971) single-handedly legislated the civil rights US Blacks enjoy today.

In the days following Nov. 8, 2016, the Democratic Party looked to be on life support. Party insiders had promised a repudiation of Trump’s far-right platform, and instead saw staggering Democratic losses at every level of government. Flash forward two years and the party’s political fortunes are reversed. On Tuesday, voters across the country showed they’re fed up with their hate-monger-in chief
Over the past year, mayors and governors nationwide have fallen over themselves to offer cash bribes to Amazon to court its second headquarters, billed as a “full equal” to its Seattle home base.

On Tuesday, November 6, Rashida Tlaib, born and raised in Detroit, the daughter of Palestinian immigrants, won election in Michigan’s 13th district, making her one of the first Muslim women, as well as the first Palestinian-American woman, elected to the House of Representatives. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, whose father was born in the Bronx and whose mother was born in Puerto-Rico, won election in
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s primary victory in June took the Democratic Party and media establishment by surprise. Running in New York’s fourteenth congressional district, she handily defeated one of the party’s most entrenched politicians and quickly became a national figure. But the question suddenly became, “What now?” There’s every reason to believe that Ocasio-Cortez’s success in NY-14 can be

Northern Reflections

The President of the United States likes to trumpet his support for the military. But this past weekend, Max Boot writes , Trump showed his contempt for the military: On Saturday afternoon, the president was scheduled to attend a ceremony at the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery, where 2,289 U.S. soldiers are buried — a small part of the 116,000 Americans who gave the last full measure of devotion du
Today marks the one hundredth anniversary of the end of The Great War. It was supposed to be the war to end all wars. And it's true that, since 1945, there have been no world wars. But there have been plenty of proxy wars -- in Korea, in Vietnam and in Afghanistan -- the longest war of the modern era. The Great War was supposed to Make The World Safe For Democracy. And today democracy is threaten
Tom Walkom writes that Donald Trump is desperate to leave his mark: He wants to be remembered as more than just a crude blowhard with funny hair. All presidents want to leave a legacy. But Trump’s need for acceptance and praise is so achingly obvious as to be almost pitiable. He is desperate to make a mark. If a hung Congress means he can’t do it the usual way, he will find another. So if he can'
Social Conservatives have a problem with the member from Parry Sound-Muskoka. They thought he was -- sort of -- on their side.

Notably, he voted for a 2006 motion to reopen the debate on same-sex marriage, even though the principle had been ensconced in law
Donald Trump thinks he won the midterm elections. He completely ignores the results in the House of Representatives and focuses on the Senate. But the number of votes for Senate seats tells a different story. Sabrina Siddiqui writes in The Guardian : Among the most eye-catching was a statistic showing Democrats led Republicans by more than 12 million votes in Senate races, and yet still suffered
Every day in the United States, millions of children place their hands over their hearts and pledge themselves to "one nation, under God, indivisable. . ."

This "cure" for the chronic electoral failures of a Democratic Party in thrall to the oligarchy sounds even worse than the disease: It seems to me that the Democrats’ story has to be built around the simple idea of investing in middle- and working-class people.
