Chet Raymo, “Seeing”
*“Seeing”* by Chet Raymo “There was a moment yesterday evening when the elements conspired to evoke these few lines, spoken by Macbeth: “Light thickens, And the crow makes wing to the rooky woods, Good things of day begin to droop and drowse. The fading light. The crows gliding down the fields to the trees in Ballybeg: Light thickens, And the crow makes wing to the rooky woods, Good things of day begin to droop and drowse.” It’s all there, in those few lines – the mysterious power of poetry to infuse the world with meaning, to anoint the world with a transforming grace. One could sp... read more

Texas: Progressive Student Union Wins Victory At Referendum, Fee Hike StoppedOn April 4 and 5, the University of Texas at Arlington held its semester student elections. In addition to these elections was a referendum brought forth by the administration of UTA to justify raising tuition and fee costs related to the school. This fee increase would be a four-fold increase, from $39 per semester to $150, making it more expensive than most of the UT system schools student union fees. The caveat was that this fee increase would not take place until “significant construction” had been completed on the New UC. What had not been properly conveyed is that the UT Syst... read more

Child care and elder care investments are a tool for reducing inflationary expectations without painPolicymakers should look for any tool that can help restrain inflationary pressures without causing significant collateral damage. One such tool could be investments in child care and elder care. By subsidizing families’ use of child care and elder care and providing direct investments to providers, such investments could boost future labor supply by allowing working-age parents and children who want to look for paid employment to do so while remaining confident their family members are receiving care. Further, these investments can help dampen inflationary pressures—that rising w... read more

And under present conditions nobody but the government [and its agencies] can bring an inflation into being.

Is Trouble Brewing in India’s Neighborhood?On 24 February, Pakistan’s prime minister Imran Khan met Russia’s president Putin in Moscow. This was the first time in 23-years that a Pakistani leader had visited Moscow—their preferred foreign destination is mostly Washington. On 10 April, after a day of high drama, Imran’s government lost the majority in the Pakistani National Assembly. Is there a connection between Imran’s meeting Putin and the overthrow of his government? Is it possible that the Machiavellians in Washington did not like Imran’s attempt to cozy up to Putin and so they had him thrown out of power? Whenever a go... read more

Brandon Smith sees what's coming, and warns usWe've met Brandon Smith on several occasions in these pages. He's a libertarian analyst with a solid grounding in economic reality, rather than pious theory. His latest article warns of a "double whammy" that's poised to strike home in not just the US, but also the global economy. Years back it was hard to say exactly when we would see the breaking point. Today, it is obvious that the moment has arrived, and not surprisingly the mainstream media is barely reporting on it. The BRICS nations including Russia, China and India have been creeping away from the U.S. dollar in resp... read more

Right now, leaders from all across the political spectrum are openly warning us that a worldwide food crisis is coming.

Coral Reefs Recover Quickly After Bleaching Due To Water Temperature ChangesWater has varied in temperature for as long as water has existed and it seems evolution has provided coral reefs a recovery mechanism after variation results in 'bleaching' - when corals expel algae and turn white. It can have some impact beyond algae because about 275 million people live near a coral reef and they can be tourist attractions and help support fishing industries. In 2018, two years after the government protected Chagos Archipelago underwent bleaching, the reef coral cover and carbonate production were down by more than 70 percent. Yet by last year, they were found to ... read more

NATO Planning Massive Military Buildup Along Russia’s Border[image: undefined] The North Atlantic Treaty Organization is in the middle of a “fundamental transformation” and planning a massive military buildup along Russian borders. Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said NATO will undergo a major “reset” and plans to put enough troops in states that border Russia to repel an invasion. The alliance currently has 40,000 troops in eastern member states. NATO considers its forces in Eastern Europe a deterrent against Russia but insufficient to actually stop incoming forces.

CIA Admits Feeding Americans False Info About Ukraine[image: undefined] Late last year, a Gallup poll showed that Americans’ trust in the mainstream media has fallen to its second lowest level on record. Only seven percent of Americans responded that they have a “great deal” of trust in the media. That loss of trust has been well-earned by the mainstream media, and it explains the massive growth of independent media and alternative voices on social media. The response to the rise of independent media voices has been a rush to “cancel” any voice outside the accepted mainstream narrative. Citizens of the Soviet Union would read manipul... read more
