The FDA Has Approved Three Novel Types of GMO Potatoes — Here’s What You Must Know to Avoid Them
In July 2015, the first genetically engineered (or genetically modified, otherwise known as “GMO”) potatoes arrived on store shelves in the form of a specific type of white russets. Now, nearly five years later, most consumers still remain blissfully unaware that the potatoes even exist, and to make matters more complicated, three new types of GMO potatoes have been approved by the FDA. And because they’re not labeled, few people even know if they’ve been eating them or not (despite the fact that they are available in relatively small quantities, they are still potentially lur... read more
On Jonathan Munro, the petrol pump panic and Carolyn's sister-in-law
This week's 'I think we got it about right' BBC editor on *Newswatch *was Jonathan Munro, the BBC's Deputy Director of News. Mr Munro is apparently a serious contender to replace Fran Unsworth in the the BBC's top news job. You may remember him for: [a] His role in the Cliff Richard affair, where the judge described him as “overly guarded” in his defence of the BBC. And the judge further accused him of “almost wilfully failing to acknowledge inconsistencies” and of “refusing to acknowledge the plain effect of some of the emails in the case”.

Shining Light On The Dark Age Of The Tulalip Boarding School
From 1857 to 1932, hundreds of Native youth from across the state and as far as Alaska were taken to the Tulalip Boarding School. There, they were beaten for speaking their Native languages. They began industrial jobs as elementary age students. They didn’t get to see their parents for ten months of the year, and many of them never came home. The school closed in 1932, and for many families, the wounds are fresh. The post Shining Light On The Dark Age Of The Tulalip Boarding School appeared first on PopularResistance.Org. read more

The Industrial Revolution and the Slave Trade
“The Industrial Revolution in England was financed by the profits from Liverpool slave traders.” ~ Dr. Eric Williams in his 1944 book *Capitalism and Slavery*. Williams led Trinidad to independence from Britain in 1962, and became the country’s first prime minister, serving till his death in 1981. I believe that Williams is right. Without slave trade, and the conquest and colonization of several regions in the Americas, Africa, and Asia, Britain could not have had the industrial revolution. The British slave trade was pioneered by the pirate John Hawkins in 1554 (the British contin... read more

Chet Raymo, “A Sense Of Place”
*“A Sense Of Place”* by Chet Raymo “It would be hard to find two writers more different than Eudora Welty and Edward Abbey. Welty was a Pulitzer Prize-winning author of stories and novels who lived all her life in Jackson, Mississippi, in the house in which she was born, the beloved spinster aunt of American letters. Abbey was a hard-drinking, butt-kicking nature writer and conservationist best known for his books on the American Southwest. Both writers are favorites of mine. Both were great champions of place. I always wondered what it would have been like if they got together. As... read more
The Poet: Theodore Roethke, “The Geranium”
*“The Geranium”* “When I put her out, once, by the garbage pail, She looked so limp and bedraggled, So foolish and trusting, like a sick poodle, Or a wizened aster in late September, I brought her back in again For a new routine - Vitamins, water, and whatever Sustenance seemed sensible At the time: she’d lived So long on gin, bobbie pins, half-smoked cigars, dead beer, Her shriveled petals falling On the faded carpet, the stale Steak grease stuck to her fuzzy leaves. (Dried-out, she creaked like a tulip.) The things she endured! The dumb dames shrieking half the night Or the two of us, a... read more
"Grave Faults..."
“Only the following items should be considered to be grave faults: not respecting another's rights; allowing oneself to be paralyzed by fear; feeling guilty; believing that one does not deserve the good or ill that happens in one's life; being a coward. We will love our enemies, but not make alliances with them. They were placed in our path in order to test our sword, and we should, out of respect for them, struggle against them. We will choose our enemies.” - Paulo Coelho, "Like the Flowing River" read more
Paulo Coelho, "Killing Our Dreams"
*"Killing Our Dreams"* by Paulo Coelho "The first symptom of the process of our killing our dreams is the lack of time. The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the Good Fight. The second symptom of the death of our dreams lies in our certainties. Because we don’t want to see life as a grand adventure, we begin to think of ourselves as w... read more

Verboten has lost
Jonathan Isaac (and some other NBA players) have broken the verboten spell. We've not really been allowed to talk critically about covid, or the jab, it's been verboten, a forbidden subject. Isaac was one of the ballplayers who took a knee over Black Lives Matter. It's obvious he thinks for himself. Many others don't, they just follow the crowd, what ever Mr. Big says, is what goes. Period. Big pharma is owned by many of the same people who own the media, who are Wall Streeters, who own the MIC and Big Oil. They have Inter-locking boards of directorates.

Even the Guardian...
There's been a lot of anger directed at the BBC today because of the BBC News website's reporting of the David Miller affair. David Miller was the Bristol University sociology professor who revelled in baiting Jewish students at his university by mocking them and spreading conspiracy theories at their expense. He's now been sacked. I've seen people saying that even *The Guardian *reported the story more fairly than the BBC, and contrasting their respective headlines. Where the BBC headline says *Bristol University: Professor David Miller sacked over Israel comments*, the *Guardian... read more

The "You" You'd Recuse

An Afghan Student Parodied the Taliban’s New University Chancellor—and Everyone Believed It
*Trevor Filseth* *Afghanistan, Eurasia* “All these days that I was tweeting pretending to be the new chancellor, no one doubted my words.” Mohammad Ashraf Ghairat, a long-time Taliban member appointed as the new chancellor of Kabul University, caused a brief firestorm in Western media after he decreed via Twitter on Monday that women would no longer be allowed to attend or teach. “As long as [a] real Islamic environment is not provided for all,” Ghairat wrote, “women will not be allowed to come to universities or work. Islam first.” After the tweet caused a firestorm, including... read more
The Qualities and Faults of Fourth-Generation Fighter Jets
*Kris Osborn* *Stealth Jets, Americas* The Super Hornet and Eagle II are engineered with an advanced suite of next-generation combat capabilities. But does that still fall short of what they need to combat America’s adversaries? The Navy and the Air Force appear to be making a push to supplement the Defense Department’s growing fifth-generation fleet of F-35 stealth fighter jets with advanced, enhanced fourth-generation aircraft. The Air Force’s Boeing F-15EX Eagle II and the Navy’s Block III F/A-18 Super Hornet jets could be described as 4.5-generation aircraft. These jets are h... read more

Cynicism of Biden’s UN Speech Calling for More Diplomacy
Joe Biden spoke of peace and diplomacy at the U.N. but support for defense spending and war making are bipartisan imperatives that prevent the people’s needs from being met.
