Johnson: languages of Spain: How to make a country for everybody | The Economist:
“PER un país de tots, l’escola en català,” reads the sign on the Barcelona schoolhouse gate: “For a country for everyone, school in Catalan.” It is a pointed and, to some, ironic symbol of two very different views of language in Spain.
“PER un país de tots, l’escola en català,” reads the sign on the Barcelona schoolhouse gate: “For a country for everyone, school in Catalan.” It is a pointed and, to some, ironic symbol of two very different views of language in Spain.
Johnson recently travelled through three regions where Catalan has three different statuses. Catalan is spoken informally in southern France, but the region is dominated officially by French. Nearby Andorra, a microstate sitting between Spain and France, is the only officially Catalan-speaking state in the world, and despite mass tourism, public signage tends to be only in Catalan.

Johnson: Catalan and its discontents: The problems of a multilingual Spain | The Economist:
A RECENT Johnson column on the treatment of Catalan sparked hundreds of comments. My colleague argued in favour of multilingualism in Spain on the grounds that speakers of Castilian Spanish should be “proud to learn their country’s other languages”. This post will offer a different proposition: though this form of multilingualism is clearly useful, it may be more valuable for Spaniards to concentrate on learning languages spoken outside their own country.

Everything You Need to Know About Food Waste... In 11 Short Films
Everything You Need to Know About Food Waste... In 11 Short Films:
1 in 7 Americans are food insecure, which means they are often hungry with no food to eat, yet we produce enough food to feed every American two times over. That’s about $165 billion worth of food that is not being eaten. So where’s all that extra food? Well it’s in our dumpsters and it’s in our landfills!
Not only is it a complete shame to dump this perfectly good food when we could be feeding our fellow Americans but it also causes a massive negative impact on our environment. When we waste food we also waste the water, energy, fossil fuels, and time that it took to produce it. Then we waste resources in transporting it to the stores and then again we waste precious resources in transporting it to the landfills. Then the food rots in the landfills and emits Carbon Dioxide, which is a leading contributor to climate change. Food waste is the root of many of our greatest social issues.
We need grocery stores to start practicing responsible business and start caring about people and the planet, not just profit. Grocery stores need to stop dumping and start donating to non-profits like Feeding America and the thousands of others out there that can take donations of excess food and get it to our fellow Americans in need. And the food that is no longer able to be donated should be composted and the packaging recycled.
The foods there. The resources are there. And the law is on our side with the Good Samaritan Food Act that waves liability of grocery stores and restaurants and encourages them to donate their good edible food.

Desperate MH17 “Intelligence” Spin by Ukraine Secret Service: Pro-Russian Rebels had Targeted a Russian Passenger Plane. “But Shot Down Flight MH17 by Mistake” | Global Research
Desperate MH17 “Intelligence” Spin by Ukraine Secret Service: Pro-Russian Rebels had Targeted a Russian Passenger Plane. “But Shot Down Flight MH17 by Mistake” | Global Research:
First published on August 11, 2014, this article reviews the official Kiev government’s position concerning the downing of flight MH17, as confirmed by a statement of Ukraine’s Secret Service (SBU).
According to the official SBU report entitled Terrorists and Militants planned cynical terrorist attack at Aeroflot civil aircraft , the Donetsk militia (with the support of Moscow) was aiming at a Russian Aeroflot passenger plane and shot down the Malaysian MH17 airliner by mistake. That’s the official Ukraine government story which has not been reported by the MSM.
Following the release of the SBU report, the Western mainstream media went silent.
The SBU report bordered on ridicule to say to the least, with fabricated evidence.
Media pundits did not want to risk their reputation in supporting Kiev’s official statement. They chose to remain silent. “Having built up the crash into a casus belli against Russia, the US media suddenly dropped the matter completely.” (Niles Williamson,. Cover-Up? Why Have the Media and Obama Administration Gone Silent on MH17? wsws.org, August 18, 2014).
Nobody dared to actually accuse Russia of planning a false flag operation involving the shooting down of its own Aeroflot plane leading to the death of its own citizens, and then blaming it on Kiev.

UK Announces New NATO Military Force, Declares Terror Alert | Global Research:
Prime Minister David Cameron, who is hosting this week’s NATO summit in Wales, is to announce that the imperialist alliance will create a new joint expeditionary force (JEF) of at least 10,000 troops for rapid deployment in crisis situations.
Previewing the plan Friday evening, the Financial Times reported that the new force is being created “to bolster NATO’s power in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine.”
The FT said,
“The force will incorporate air and naval units as well as ground troops and will be led by British commanders, with other participating nations contributing a range of specialist troops and units. Countries involved at present include Denmark, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Norway and the Netherlands. Canada has also expressed an interest in taking part.”

Labor Day is a holiday that has outlived its time. Like Christmas,
Labor Day has become a time-out period. As Christmas has become a
shopping spree, Labor Day has become the last summer holiday.
The holiday originated in
1887 to celebrate the contribution made by American workers to the
strength and prosperity of the United States. The first Monday in
September was chosen by President Grover Cleveland to avoid a May date
that would keep alive the memory of the previous year’s Haymarket
Massacre in which workers striking for an eight-hour day suffered
casualties from the Chicago police.

September 11, 2001: The Crimes of War Committed “In the Name of 9/11″ | Global Research
September 11, 2001: The Crimes of War Committed “In the Name of 9/11″ | Global Research:
The following text was presented at the International Conference on “9/11 Revisited – Seeking the Truth”, Perdana Global Peace Foundation (PGPF), Kuala Lumpur, November 2012
Introduction
The tragic events of September 11, 2001 constitute a fundamental landmark in American history, a decisive watershed, a breaking point.
Millions of people have been misled regarding the causes and consequences of 9/11.
September 11 2001 opens up an era of crisis, upheaval and militarization of American society. The post September 11, 2001 era is marked by the outright criminalization of the US State, including its judicial, foreign policy, national security and intelligence apparatus.
9/11 marks the onslaught of the “Global War on Terrorism” (GWOT), used as a pretext and a justification by the US and its NATO allies to carry out a “war without borders”, a global war of conquest.
A far-reaching overhaul of US military doctrine was launched in the wake of 9/11.
