Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, critique du journalisme et de la propriété intellectuelle - Acrimed | Action Critique Médias

Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, critique du journalisme et de la propriété intellectuelle - Acrimed | Action Critique Médias


 

Proudhon consacre le dernier chapitre du volume à répondre aux journalistes qui, sans entrer dans les détails de la controverse, contestaient ses vues (critiques) sur l’unification italienne de 1861 [1] et sur un « principe fédératif » qu’il érigeait en panacée politique. Ce chapitre, qui tient plus du pamphlet que de l’analyse, dans un ouvrage dont ce n’est par ailleurs ni l’objet ni le ton, permet à Proudhon, qui se plaint d’avoir « été maltraité dans [sa] personne par la presse unitaire », de régler des comptes indissociablement personnels et politiques.

Néanmoins, ces critiques violentes de la presse et de ses artisans, de leur absence d‘indépendance tant vis-à-vis du pouvoir que de leurs bailleurs, voire de leur corruption, recouvrent-elles sans doute certaines réalités de ces années 1860… Ou du moins témoignent-elles de la représentation que s’en faisait Proudhon, en fonction de sa propre expérience et de ses propres conceptions de la presse et du journalisme. Il avait en effet profité directement de la brusque ouverture et participé à l’effervescence politiques consécutives à la révolution de février 1848 pour créer, dès le mois d’avril, Le Représentant du peuple, un hebdomadaire qui deviendra quotidien et paraîtra sous différents titres, au gré des interdictions successives, jusqu’en 1850.

New report shows urgent need to rescue EU's ineffective lobby register | Corporate Europe Observatory:


 The European Commission and European Parliament's joint lobby register turns two years old this week, and a new report by the Alliance for Lobbying Transparency and Ethics Regulation (ALTER-EU) shows that the voluntary register is still failing to get a sufficient share of lobbyists to register and remains packed with unreliable and incomplete data. ALTER-EU calls on the Commission and Parliament to use the opportunity of the register's review to make the Transparency Register mandatory.

NSA: Pourquoi espionnaient-ils leurs maris et amants?!:

 Une douzaine d'employés de l'agence du renseignement américain (NSA) espionnaient leurs maris et amants avec les outils de surveillance. En effet ils ont utilisé leur métier pour les fins personnelles. Un rapport de l'inspecteur général de la NSA a révélé des cas qui ont été détectés ces dix dernières années. En guise d’exemple une employée a eu mis sur écoute un numéro de téléphone étranger trouvé dans les contacts de son mari en 2004; aussi un autre employé a mis sur écoute l'amant d'une autre employée de la NSA... parce qu'elle suspectait ce dernier d'écouter ses conversations téléphoniques.

Seymour Hersh on Obama, NSA and the 'pathetic' American media | Media | theguardian.com

Seymour Hersh on Obama, NSA and the 'pathetic' American media | Media | theguardian.com:

 Seymour Hersh has got some extreme ideas on how to fix journalism – close down the news bureaus of NBC and ABC, sack 90% of editors in publishing and get back to the fundamental job of journalists which, he says, is to be an outsider.


It doesn't take much to fire up Hersh, the investigative journalist who has been the nemesis of US presidents since the 1960s and who was once described by the Republican party as "the closest thing American journalism has to a terrorist".


He is angry about the timidity of journalists in America, their failure to challenge the White House and be an unpopular messenger of truth.


Don't even get him started on the New York Times which, he says, spends "so much more time carrying water for Obama than I ever thought they would" – or the death of Osama bin Laden. "Nothing's been done about that story, it's one big lie, not one word of it is true," he says of the dramatic US Navy Seals raid in 2011.

Detailed audit finds U.S. government routinely inflates terrorism statistics to scare populace into compliance

Detailed audit finds U.S. government routinely inflates terrorism statistics to scare populace into compliance:

(NaturalNews) Your own government wouldn't use fear and intimidation in order to push an agenda - would it?


Absolutely it would. Enter "the terrorist threat."


Most Americans know that the threat of terrorism exists. The two gaping holes where the World Trade Center used to be on Sept. 12, 2001, are more than enough proof of that. But Boston bombing aside, are Americans really under constant threat of being killed by terrorists? No, we're not - though our government would like for us to think so.


According to a newly released audit, all of the Justice Department's terrorism-related statistics were reported inaccurately, and most of them were greatly exaggerated.

Monsanto Resorts to Dirty Tricks Amid Failed GMO Battle

Monsanto Resorts to Dirty Tricks Amid Failed GMO Battle:

Monsanto has utterly failed in convincing the public that their disease-linked genetically modified creations are ‘safe’, and the only option left is to resort to an assembly of dirty tricks. Spending a whopping 8.2 million just to fight GMO labeling in Washington, we have really begun to see the desperate and clinging nature of the failing biotechnology giant. Because in reality, Monsanto simply cannot stand to allow consumers to know what’s in their food.

Disability rights: UN experts reject restrictions on persons with intellectual disabilities’ right to vote --- DisplayNews

DisplayNews:

 GENEVA (30 September 2013) - States should not prevent persons with intellectual disabilities from voting, nor make their inclusion on an electoral register dependent on capacity assessments, a UN Committee has said after examining the case of six Hungarians who lost the right to vote when they were placed under legal guardianship.


The six people, who have intellectual disability, brought their complaint to the Geneva-based Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) after they were unable to vote in Hungary’s parliamentary and municipal elections in 2010.


Under an article of the Hungarian constitution applicable at the time of the complaint, all persons under guardianship were automatically excluded from voting. The complainants argued that they were able to understand politics and participate in elections, and that the ban, which took no account of the nature of their disability and their individual abilities, was unjustified.

Fraud Exposed in NIST WTC 7 Reports: Part 5 of 5

Fraud Exposed in NIST WTC 7 Reports: Part 5 of 5


Editor’s note: To this day most people, including many architects and engineers, are not aware that a third skyscraper, World Trade Center Building 7, mysteriously collapsed along with the World Trade Center Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. The official report on this building’s collapse by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been challenged by many reputable and credentialed technical professionals. The NIST analysis has not undergone the rigors of scientific peer review – the typical pathway for validating significant scientific theories. Chris Sarns’ research appears in Dr. David Ray Griffin’s book titled "The Mysterious Collapse of World Trade Center 7. "A definitive study of what happens when political concerns are permitted to override science and the scientific method. With intellectual finesse worthy of a scientist, Griffin shows that NIST's WTC 7 report has no scientific credibility. A must read for all concerned with the restoration of science to its `rightful place' in our democracy."--John D. Wyndham, Ph.D., Physics, Cambridge University; former Research Fellow at the California Institute of Technology]" The studies below represent years of work by Chris in unraveling some of the most glaring inconsistencies and outright frauds in the NIST report on World Trade Center 7. He demonstrates that the NIST’s theory of the fire-induced collapse of Building 7 is faulty and misleading.

Higher Perspective: 1,200 Year Old Egyptian City Discovered Underwater

Higher Perspective: 1,200 Year Old Egyptian City Discovered Underwater:


1,200 years ago the ancient Egyptian city of Heracleion disappeared beneath the Mediterranean. Founded around 8th century BC, well before the foundation of Alexandria in 331 BC, it is believed Heracleion served as the obligatory port of entry to Egypt for all ships coming from the Greek world.

Prior to its discovery in 2000 by archaeologist Franck Goddio and the IEASM (European Institute for Underwater Archaeology), no trace of Thonis-Heracleion had been found (the city was known to the Greeks as Thonis). Its name was almost razed from the memory of mankind, only preserved in ancient classic texts and rare inscriptions found on land by archaeologists.

I am writing to you in regards to your recent statements about my family. I know you don't know my actual family, because, you know, we aren't close, you and I. So, let me introduce you. My wife and I have been married, legally, for nearly 10 years. We have a 4-year-old daughter together. She calls us Mommy and Mama. We eat dinner at our table together every night. We work hard. We love even harder.


We are the gay family that you don't agree with.

Mexico's disappeared continues to rise - Features - Al Jazeera English:


 Mexico City - Mexico's mountain of unsolved disappearances continues to rise despite President Enrique Pena Nieto's promise to tackle the problem which has devastated thousands of families since 2006.


The disappearance of four people within six days close to the US border recently exposed the cruel mix of state corruption and organised crime still blighting the lives ordinary folks on Mexico's mean streets.


"Mexico today has the worst crisis of disappearances in Latin America, arguably the world," Nik Steinberg, senior researcher at Human Rights Watch, told Al Jazeera. "That there is still no single unified definition and many state authorities have no idea how to investigate disappearances shows the government has failed to take the problem seriously."

Justifying War: From Yugoslavia to Syria | Global Research

Justifying War: From Yugoslavia to Syria | Global Research:

 Most human beings by nature are anti-war.


All military conflicts involve death and destruction, to say nothing of unintended consequences.


This is why for generations, military planners have made use of war pretext incidents to galvanize war-averse populations behind aggressive military actions against other countries.


These rationales are at core psychological operations utilizing justifications for military action generally not reflecting the government’s REAL reasons for going to war.


As researcher and anti-war campaigner Richard Sanders chronicles in his magazine Press For Conversion, war pretext incidents were involved in the Mexican-American War (1846), the Spanish-American War (1898), both World Wars, the Vietnam War (1964), the Wars against Iraq in 1991 and 2003, and NATO’s War Against Yugoslavia in 1999, among others.

CATALONIA -- horizonteFBT: La martingala federalista

horizonteFBT: La martingala federalista


The federal martingale

What to look for the possible arrival on the scene of the third way -whether federal, as more autonomy ... - consultation: gather a sense of Catalan society or try to divide independence? In my view, the second rather than the first, but it is quite likely that proponents of federalism achieve the opposite, ie, the votes that emanate from any federalism "no."

 

The time spent in the federal long. A separatist and federalist choose this path would be wrong for four reasons:

  • First, anyone with some power in Spain does not speak so seriously about federalism. PSOE think it would make that much of what he sees as the Catalans are tired of successive governments that have taken place in Spain.

  • Second, federalism mean to keep us within the Spanish legal framework. Therefore we should expect the rest of Spain (each autonomy and the central government) made ​​a 180 degree turn in the conception of the model and State. That is, if it does, we would be in the same situation now.

  • Third, due to the second point-to federalism or more autonomy with better financing (called as everyone wants this third response) lasted only would get headaches, tension, contempt, deceit and breach it suffered in Catalonia the government of Spain for some time. In federalism would negotiate and define the powers of good Catalonia and the rest of the state. After years and years of old and new struggles, we would realize-again-the big mistake and lost time that meant choosing the "third way." (Otherwise aspirations of this kind could have reached some years with the reform of the Statute, that the first Congress and the Constitutional Court were halted after rennet, do you remember that?).

  • And fourth, if the EU survives the crisis, eventually a possible target of the EU through a federation or confederation of states. Catalonia in, so it should be more like a federate within the Union and not with Spain to have a voice directly.

Most are in Spain?

 

Spain are the most vulgar mesetaris unable to accept that there are people who do not identify with the idea of the country, do not understand that you can decide whether you want to stay there or leave, those who are openly and an inability of public reasoning, comprehension and analysis insane chromogenic own hereditary or retired military factions reminiscent ended as President and Co Retron the longing of the guns bombarding our land?

A majority in Spain who prefer gas or pepper arguments, tributes to those who applaud the fascist Blue Division or support initiatives towards Franco, who shamelessly s'atraveixen to wear in Nazi symbols in public enbolcallats and making greetings fascist or stating the Intangible Cultural Heritage mere torture an animal to bring it to death?

They are most corrupt oligarchies in Spain, civil servants and business financial living gross pay all of us who ruin whole families left homeless and those who amass fortunes indecent commissions airports ghosts steal the budget safety of thousands of kilometers of AVE and radial highways around the capital go bankrupt, those advocating expensive rail corridors and central Madrid's Olympic candidates, bankers laugh in our face while we pay between the party with you with our education and health of our family?

Spain are the most genocidal cultural spent years fighting to eliminate our culture, working day and night to destroy a school model is presented as a success story in the international arena only because the language Catalan is used, which makes the ridiculous naming an ancient language with strange occurrences such as the Lapa or denying what is spoken in the Catalan ignoring the opinion of the world community philological, is one language?

The Catalans so long ago that we would like to hear strong voices and strong disagreement from Spain to be clear that most others are not.

To date, however, silent as whores!

One Wrong Move at Fukushima Could Unleash a Nuclear Disaster Equivalent to 85 Chernobyls » RYOT News


More than two years after a massive earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan, the Fukushima power plant sits in ruins, leaking 300 tons of contaminated water into the Pacific Ocean every day. But that’s small potatoes compared to what might happen in November.

In what could be humankind’s most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis, TEPCO (Tokyo Electric Power Co). — the Japanese company that owns the Fukushima power plant — will attempt to remove approximately 1,300 fuel rods from the heavily damaged Reactor Unit 4. Why should you care? Because many experts feel that neither TEPCO nor Japan have the scientific, engineering or financial resources to handle the repair. And you know what happens if they screw up? Nuclear disaster.

But only last week was a decision made by Israel's Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein to allow Palestinians access to their land, and to reiterate that settlers would be forbidden from entering the area. Read more: http://aje.me/1bg3zqL

They had come to pay their last respects to a fallen comrade. Hassan Shateri, a veteran of Iran’s covert wars throughout the Middle East and South Asia, was a senior commander in a powerful, élite branch of the Revolutionary Guard called the Quds Force. The force is the sharp instrument of Iranian foreign policy, roughly analogous to a combined C.I.A. and Special Forces; its name comes from the Persian word for Jerusalem, which its fighters have promised to liberate. Since 1979, its goal has been to subvert Iran’s enemies and extend the country’s influence across the Middle East. Shateri had spent much of his career abroad, first in Afghanistan and then in Iraq, where the Quds Force helped Shiite militias kill American soldiers.

Minds:


 Box explores the synthesis of real and digital space through projection-mapping on moving surfaces. The short film documents a live performance, captured entirely in camera.


Bot & Dolly produced this work to serve as both an artistic statement and technical demonstration. It is the culmination of multiple technologies, including large scale robotics, projection mapping, and software engineering. We believe this methodology has tremendous potential to radically transform theatrical presentations, and define new genres of expression.

FBI Admits It Controlled Tor Servers Behind Mass Malware Attack | Threat Level | Wired.com

FBI Admits It Controlled Tor Servers Behind Mass Malware Attack | Threat Level | Wired.com:


 It wasn’t ever seriously in doubt, but the FBI yesterday acknowledged that it secretly took control of Freedom Hosting last July, days before the servers of the largest provider of ultra-anonymous hosting were found to be serving custom malware designed to identify visitors.


Freedom Hosting’s operator, Eric Eoin Marques, had rented the servers from an unnamed commercial hosting provider in France, and paid for them from a bank account in Las Vegas. It’s not clear how the FBI took over the servers in late July, but the bureau was temporarily thwarted when Marques somehow regained access and changed the passwords, briefly locking out the FBI until it gained back control.

Intelligence agencies want 'all the phone records,' defend surveillance programs — RT USA

Intelligence agencies want 'all the phone records,' defend surveillance programs — RT USA:


 Leading members of the United States intelligence community continued to defend the government's vast surveillance programs in Washington on Thursday and suggested that those agency's capabilities exceed what's been previously reported.


During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Capitol Hill Thursday afternoon, lawmakers asked representatives from the National Security Agency, Department of Justice and Office of the Director of National Intelligence to provide more information about the surveillance programs operated by the government and exposed through a series of unauthorized disclosures attributed to former contractor Edward Snowden earlier this year.


The hearing, the first open meeting of the committee since March, centered on the NSA's authorities under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and PATRIOT Act that allow the government to gather basic records pertaining to the communications of American citizens.

Amid spying scandal, billion-dollar NSA data center may secretly open — RT USA

Amid spying scandal, billion-dollar NSA data center may secretly open — RT USA:


The new National Security Agency building in Bluffdale, Utah will be the most expensive facility in the NSA's history, but don't expect any sort of grand unveiling when it's finally functioning.


The $1.5 billion NSA data center is scheduled to officially open up this fall, but the Salt Lake Tribune is now reporting that the facility may already be up and running.


Thomas Burr of the Tribune wrote Thursday that the administrators of the state-of-the-art facility are staying silent when it comes to announcing information about the building, even though knowledge of its construction has been widely reported, and the NSA has become a mainstay in mainstream headlines since top-secret security documents were leaked to the media earlier this year.

Feinstein's NSA 'reform' bill would expand snooping powers — RT USA:


A bipartisan group of US senators is trying to ban the NSA’s blanket surveillance program in a radical bill proposed to the Senate Intelligence Committee. But a milder bill from chairwoman Diane Feinstein would sanction more snooping on US citizens.


Thursday’s Committee hearing on reforming the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) reviewed the two rival bills in an effort to find a balance between security and privacy. The Committee is expected to have further lively debate on the proposed legislation next week, before the bill is sent for consideration by the full Senate.

Documents obtained by the New York Times from the former NSA contractor Edward Snowden say that the practice has been going on since November 2010, after restrictions prohibiting the agency from working with US citizens’ data were “lifted” by NSA officials.

Russia Says Sarin Gas in Aug. 21 Syria Attack Was 'Homemade' | Russia | RIA Novosti:


 MOSCOW, September 26 (RIA Novosti) – Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with a US newspaper published Thursday that homemade sarin nerve agent was used in a chemical weapons attack in Damascus on August 21, an attack that the United States maintains was carried out by the Syrian regime.


Lavrov gave an interview to The Washington Post on Tuesday after a meeting with his US counterpart John Kerry. Lavrov said he had used the meeting to hand over evidence proving Russia’s contention that chemical weapons were used by Syrian rebel groups in the controversial August 21 attack.


Russia investigated the alleged use of chemical weapons in the Syrian city of Aleppo on March 19 after a request from the Syrian government, Lavrov said, adding that its findings have been “broadly” made available to the United Nations Security Council and the public, The Washington Post reported.

▶ Panicked MSM Begins Killing Off Comment Sections - YouTube



Desperate to cling onto their ability to dictate reality, the crumbling mainstream media is beginning to kill off article comment sections in a cynical bid to silence dissenting voices.

Studies confirm that article comments sections - for better or worse - are heavily swaying public opinion. How many times have you read a mainstream news article about NSA spying, drones, gun control or any other other hot button issue where the author sides with the establishment, only to have their argument completely eviscerated by the respondents in the comment section?

Recent polls show that trust in mainstream media is hovering at record lows. After largely failing to influence the court of public opinion via paid trolls, the establishment is starting to panic and is responding by moving to cull comment sections altogether.

The great US trickle down - Counting the Cost - Al Jazeera English

The great US trickle down - Counting the Cost - Al Jazeera English:


 The US is flirting with another politically-motivated debt crisis as the White House and Congress battle over the budget for the year beginning on October 1.


The White House has asked Congress to raise the $16.7tn debt ceiling. But Congress will not do that unless the White House agrees to spending cuts and a delay in Barack Obama's healthcare law. If they fail to agree, come October 17, the treasury will be down to its last $30bn, meaning that the US will be unable to pay its bills. That could result in the government and schools being shut down and social security payments stopped.


Of course, the country came close to an historic debt default in 2011. So, will Obama bypass Congress this time around? And, if the US cannot sort out its debt, what will that mean for the rest of the world?

Higher Perspective: Mind Control and the New World Order

Higher Perspective: Mind Control and the New World Order


On 28 November 1953, at 2 am, a man crashed through a closed window and fell to his death from the 10th floor of the Statler Hotel in New York City. He was identified as Frank Olson, a bacteriologist with the US Army Research Center at Fort Detrick, Maryland. He had fallen from a room he shared with another scientist, Robert Lashbrook. It was ruled a suicide.

Twenty-two years later, in 1975, William Colby, then CIA director, declassified documents that changed the complexion of the case. It was revealed that Olson had actually been an undercover CIA operative at Fort Detrick, and that one week prior to his death, he had been drinking Cointreau at a high-level meeting with scientists at Deep Creek Lodge in rural Maryland. The Cointreau was laced with a large dose of LSD administered by his CIA boss, Sidney Gottlieb. He was then sent to New York with Lashbrook, also with the CIA, to see a psychiatrist because the LSD had induced a psychosis.

It was also revealed that Olson had been part of the top secret CIA program that was known as Project MK-ULTRA, exploring the use of chemicals and drugs for purposes of mind control, and bacteriological agents for covert assassination. Olson had been working on ways to deliver anthrax in aerosol form, for use as a weapon. New evidence that came to light, through the persistent efforts of Olson’s son Eric, made the suicide ruling highly suspect.

People around the world are noticing that our planet's weather is dramatically changing. They are also beginning to notice the long lingering trails left behind airplanes that have lead millions to accept the reality of chemtrail/geoengineering programs. Could there be a connection between the trails and our severe weather? While there are many agendas associated with these damaging programs, evidence is now abundant which proves that geoengineering can be used to control weather. In this documentary you will learn how the aerosols being sprayed into our sky are used in conjunction with other technologies to control our weather. While geoengineers maintain that their models are only for the mitigation of global warming, it is now clear that they can be used as a way to consolidate an enormous amount of both monetary and political power into the hands of a few by the leverage that weather control gives certain corporations over the Earth's natural systems. This of course, is being done at the expense of every living thing on the planet.

Roseanne Barr: “MK Ultra Rules In Hollywood” ---- Collective-Evolution

Collective-Evolution:

For those of you that don’t know, Roseanne Barr is a well known actress, comedian, writer, television producer and director. She has won several awards which include Emmy awards, Golden Globe awards, People’s Choice awards and more. She has been in the industry for over twenty years and has gained much respect from many of her Hollywood colleagues who she is now speaking on behalf of. I just want to make it clear how long she has been inside the industry, and the connections she has to others within it. Industry insiders are feeling the need to share inspirational words and food for thought to the millions of people that pay attention to them as of late. We saw this recently with Ashton Kutcher. Celebrities have a voice that can reach a large sum of people, they can be a threat to corporate interests and the controlling elite and as Roseanne states, many celebrities bite their tongue and live in a culture of fear.

By Ross Domoney: a young Greek woman describes how she was assaulted by two supporters of Greece’s neo-Nazi party. The woman suffered cuts to her face and arms in the attack, which happened the day after the anti-fascist rapper Pavlos Fyssas was stabbed to death. She says she has not reported the attack to the police, because she does not have confidence that they will take action.

Century of the Self – The Rise of the All-Consuming Self

Century of the Self – The Rise of the All-Consuming Self:



Edward Bernays invented ‘Public Relations' in the 1920s, being the first person to take Freud's ideas to manipulate the masses. He showed American corporations how they could make people want things they didn't need by systematically linking mass-produced goods to their unconscious desires.


“If we understand the mechanism and motives of the group mind, it is now possible to control and regiment the masses according to our will without them knowing it.” -Edward Bernays, (Propaganda 1928, p.71)



Edward Bernays – also known as the “father of propaganda” – took Freud's key thesis that individuals were driven by unconscious irrational forces and used it to develop marketing techniques which are now common place.

In the Soviet Era as in Canada: Science Suffers Under Authoritarian Rule | DeSmog Canada:


The suppression of science in Canada is getting so bad that academics (not raving extremists) are moving past comparing it to Bush's America and are now comparing it to Stalin's Soviet Union!



 This is a guest post by Richard Kool, Associate Professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability at Royal Roads University in Victoria.


Back in the 1930s, the Soviet ruler Josef Stalin had a problem with genetics; as a result, geneticists were branded traitors ("Trotskyite agents of international fascism"), stripped of their positions at government laboratories and universities, sent to prison, or even executed. Soviet biological sciences were hindered for more than a generation. The story of the Soviet geneticists has a distant resonance to the story of what is happening to government-sponsored environmental science in Canada today.

Popular Science and BoingBoing.net recently announced their decision to kill comment sections on their website. Thew New York times also recently announced that it is scaling back comments and removing them from some articles altogether.

As an excellent Daily Tech piece highlights, Popular Science admitted that its decision to pull the comment section was in order to preach a "scientific doctrine" on global warming without being challenged. The origin of the word "doctrine" is to indoctrinate. Therefore, Popular Science is taking the most unscientific approach possible - by censoring debate and stifling alternative ideas - in order to indoctrinate its readers.

The decision to kill comment sections on news websites will only result in the mainstream losing traffic to alternative sites which allow free expression and do not resort to censorship.

Watch the video above for the full breakdown of this audacious new attempt to stifle free speech by the mainstream media.

 BERLIN – Pacifist doctrines may say otherwise, but combining diplomacy with the threat of military force is a highly effective tactic, as we have just seen in Syria. It was the credibility of the United States’ threat of military intervention that seems to have led Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to cut a deal brokered by his main allies, Russia and, less directly, Iran. Assad now appears prepared to give up his chemical weapons in exchange for remaining in power. But what will happen to America’s credibility, and that of the West, if the agreement falls apart?

Bourdieu, Pierre

Pierre #Bourdieu: “It is true that sociological analysis hardly makes concessions to narcissism and that it carries out a radical rupture with the profoundly complaisant image of human existence defended by those who want, at all cost, to think of themselves as ‘the most irreplaceable of beings.’ But it is no less true that it is one of the most powerful instruments of self-knowledge as a social being, which is to say a unique being... It also offers some of the most efficacious means of attaining the freedom from social determinisms which is possible only through knowledge of those determinisms.”

Golden rice exposed as fraud: Genetically engineered crop nothing more than biotech battering ram to crush GMO regulations:


(NaturalNews) Everywhere you turn in the media, GMO propagandists are invoking so-called "Golden rice" as part of a false narrative that claims GMOs will save the world. Golden rice will save a million lives, blared the cover of TIME Magazine. Golden rice will give poor people critical nutrition and end suffering, we're told. In fact, Golden rice will even make all the poor children eating it no longer care that they have no clean water, no sustainable agriculture and no economic future, it seems.


There's a problem with all this, of course: the golden rice hoopla is pure hokum. Quackery. Charlatanism. There is no evidence whatsoever that golden rice can treat, prevent or cure any medical condition. And since when did pro-GMO people ever care about nutrition in the first place? Aren't they in agreement with the FDA that there is no vitamin, no mineral and no herb that has any ability whatsoever to prevent, treat or cure any disease?

Don’t Let Them Trade Away Our Internet Freedoms: Speak Out Against the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement! - Electronic Frontier Foundation:

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is a trade agreement currently being negotiated in secret by the United States and ten other countries.


Leaked language from the agreement’s intellectual property chapter has been worrisome enough—and the public has no idea what is in the latest official draft, or even what the U.S. Trade Representative is pushing for in this agreement. There has been zero transparency in a process that is being pushed to the finish.


What’s worse is that the people who do have access to TPP’s official language are the same content industry executives that tried pushing through harmful laws like SOPA, PIPA, and ACTA. The rest of us will continue to be kept in the dark unless we speak up now.


Join us in demanding an end to these backroom negotiations.

Congressional briefing examines unethical distribution of carcinogenic contraceptive for profit and population control - Buzz.NaturalNews.com:

(http://www.turtlebayandbeyond.org)Last Friday, U.S. Congressman William Lacy Clay, Jr., (D-MO) held a Congressional briefing examining Pfizer and health providers targeting women of color to be primary consumers of the injectable carcinogenic contraceptive drug Depo-Provera by concealing FDA Black Box Warnings and minimizing life-threatening and debilitating side effects.


At the briefing, members of Congress and the Congressional Black Caucus examined a report released by the Rebecca Project which details severe health problems from Depo-Provera use, including strokes and cancer, and the failure of health providers like Planned Parenthood to disclose side effects before injecting patients with the shot.


The Rebecca Project report claims that the promotion of Depo-Provera for use in women of color and low income is driven by an ideological agenda based on profit and population control fueled by Pfizer, the Gates, Rockefeller and Ford Foundations, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Population Council, Planned Parenthood, Columbia and Johns Hopkins Universities and "a cadre of extreme reproductive health advocates."

Relocalize the Economy: Generate Alternatives from the Ground Up

Relocalize the Economy: Generate Alternatives from the Ground Up:

 Across the world millions of people are actively resisting the process of corporate globalization while simultaneously creating viable local alternatives in the here and now. This powerful emerging movement represents a radical departure from ‘business as usual’. In place of the imposition of a single, global world economy, the new paradigm seeks ‘a world that embraces many worlds’ – an adapting biocultural mosaic rather than a global monoculture. Proponents of this approach call for ‘small scale on a large scale’ rather than one-size-fits-all, ‘too big to fail’ blueprints. In turn, the kind of solutions that are being generated flow from diversity, are attentive to the ecological particularities of place, are more responsive to social needs, and are often far more equitable, participatory and democratic.
