Capitalism and the Gut-Wrenching Hijack of India by Colin Todhunter
In India, the ‘development’ paradigm is premised on moving farmers out of agriculture and into the cities to work in construction, manufacturing or the service sector, despite these sectors not creating anything like the number of jobs required. The aim is to displace the existing labour-intensive system of food and agriculture with one dominated by a few transnational corporate agri-food giants which will then control the sector. Agriculture is to be wholly commercialised with large-scale, mechanised (monocrop) enterprises replacing family-run farms that help sustain hundreds of mi... more »
Propaganda – Gov’t creates film factory to rewrite Brexit history
Dan Brown, author of the Da Vinci Code once wrote – “History is always written by the winners. When two cultures clash, the loser is obliterated, and the winner writes the history books – books which glorify their own cause and disparage the conquered foe. As Napoleon once said, ‘What is history, but a fable agreed upon?”

The Mad Geopolitics of Israel’s EastMed Gas Pipeline
At just a time when the world holds its collective breath over risk of a World War over the US assassination of Iran’s leading general and other provocations, Israel has chosen to sign a natural gas pipeline deal with Greece and Cyprus that is the equivalent of tossing a loaded hand grenade into the hyper-tense region.
The lighter side of the dysfunctional apocalypse
I had to laugh at this video prediction of everything that can (and will) go wrong when the dystopian apocalypse finally happens. It's so dire, it's funny. Oh, well. At my age, I don't have to worry about most of those problems - I doubt I'll live long enough to encounter them. I'll leave them to my younger readers, who can write their own blogs (by then doubtless circulated on paper, rather than electronically) to describe them! Peter
How Young Donald Learned To Weaponize His Racism
Over the weekend, a tweet from Ro Khanna alerted me to a favorite Trump shenanigan-- a roll back to an Obama housing desegregation rule. The very first time the name "Donald J. Trump" appeared in the *New York Times*, a thrill for the young publicity hound, was in connection to a government law suit in which he and his crooked, racist father were charged with violating a civil rights act in regard to housing. In short, they were refusing to rent apartments to blacks and hispanics even though the properties were built with government loans that prohibited racial discrimination. When... more »

*Insane childcare costs in Australia* *A torrent of regulations have "gold-plated" childcare, making it generally unaffordable. So the government tries to restore affordability by giving subsidies. But the subsidies are not keeping upIt's deregulation that is needed if affordability is to be restored. One insane regulation is that a carer has to have a university degree or diploma -- and it goes on from there. There must also be a minimum educator-to-child ratio of 1:15, which is well-up on what it used to be.There are also regulations about premises, furniture, materials a... more »

*Robert Farley* *Security, Europe* What could have been. *Key point:* Billions might have died. Even before the guns fell silent in Europe in 1945, it became apparent to American and British planners that the Soviet Union would hold a massive advantage in land power along the Central front. In the early post-war years, Western planners hoped that nuclear weapons would keep the Soviets at bay. As the USSR’s own missile and nuclear programs accelerated, however, it became apparent that NATO (which came into existence in 1949) would need to come to some understanding of how to fi... more »
