Empire

Al Jazeera English

Interesting show this one, caught an episode today where they were discussing the need for a global government, like it was no big thing… yikes.

I’ll endeavour to post it when it makes it into the “pipes and dump-tucks” of internet land.

Here is a good intro but Its all propaganda at the end of the day. Sigh.

“With global media now in the hands of supra-national players peddling their own agendas and internet giants in search of profit and influence, Empire asks what’s the future for journalism in the age of media empires.”

The New Pentagon Papers. Thanks Wikileaks

Ouchie

The New Pentagon Papers:

WikiLeaks Releases 90,000+ Secret Military Documents Painting Devastating Picture of Afghanistan War

It’s one of the biggest leaks in US military history. More than 90,000 internal records of US military actions in Afghanistan over the past six years have been published by the whistleblower website WikiLeaks.

The documents provide a devastating portrait of the war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents, how a secret black ops special forces unit hunts down targets for assassination or detention without trial, how Taliban attacks have soared, and how Pakistan is fueling the insurgency.

We host a roundtable discussion with independent British journalist Stephen Grey; Pentagon Papers whistleblower, Daniel Ellsberg; former State Department official in Afghanistan, Matthew Hoh; independent journalist Rick Rowley; and investigative historian Gareth Porter.

I realise that Democracy Now are, to some extent, gatekeepers, but both these interviews are worth a listen.

I don’t really mean ‘mad’ mad, Max is without a doubt the least mad money man on the planet.

Hands Off Mother Earth

In an attempt to be proactive, or seem proactive, governments and scientists are ‘considering‘ changing the climate.

Using man made volcano-like smoke stacks, reflective particles in the upper atmosphere, aerosolized particles dispensed from aircraft

…and other such dangerous (not to mention expensive) ideas.

Whilst I’m in no rush to usher in a ‘compulsory earth-based religion’ (and there are elements of that in this) These people are doing some good work.

You don’t need to support everything someone does to support some of what they do.

===================

“Hands Off Mother Earth (H.O.M.E) is a global campaign to defend our one precious home, planet earth, against the threat of geoengineering experiments.

Join with us to send a clear message to the geoengineers and to governments worldwide that our home is not a laboratory”
