Geonomics and the true cost of poverty

by Scott Baker

www.opednews.com





Why are there so many poor people when the world seems so much wealthier as a whole? By wealthier, I mean there is more food, more housing (and bigger, better housing too), more of everything, in fact. I'll get to the obvious misdistribution and the true remedy in a moment, but would point out here that this question is not new; in fact, it… Continue

In a Coup in Honduras, Ghosts of Past U.S. Policies

By HELENE COOPER and MARC LACEY

Published: June 29, 2009

WASHINGTON — President Obama on Monday strongly condemned the ouster of Honduras’s president as an illegal coup that set a “terrible precedent” for the region, as the country’s new government defied international calls to return the toppled president to power and clashed with thousands of protesters.



“We do not want to go back to a dark past,” Mr. Obama said, in which military coups override elections. “We always want… Continue

If Neda Was a Palestinian, Nobody Would Give A Damn

By M.J. Rosenberg - June 30, 2009, 10:23AM



Max Blumenthal writes that it is wonderful that we all empathize with Iranians killed or wounded in the struggle for freedom but points out America's utter indifference to identical tragedies in the West Bank and Gaza.



Of course, as Max explains, it is hard for Americans to become outraged by events they rarely see. The American media decided long ago that reporting honestly on the occupation was dangerous. Advertisers and… Continue

"Dry Rot"

Assume that I live in a town of mostly timber-frame houses. There is from time to time a virulent infestation of dry rot, that can even destroy a house. A local firm of 'Timber Preservation Specialists' let's call it 'BaxtimberTreatment' offers to inject fungisides into all my timbers, so as to make my house 'immune' from 'Dry Rot' and other timber infestations. It works a treat, but this firm should have told me about the health effects of their toxic timber treatment. I was sick for weeks… Continue

Governments: A Case Of Mistaken Identity

We are in a very crucial period of human development in the United States. Political activism could very likely insure our demise. The main problem is a case of mistaken identity. It's being made by the U.S. citizen. Not all, by any means, but by the most vocal: the political activist. The mistake is that people have confused the government with the nation. When we say the nation is at war, we should be thinking - the government is at war. The government is always at war. That's where it…

I Am Guilty

Guilt

I am guilty,

But not in the way you think.

I should have earlier recognized my duty;

I should have more sharply called evil evil;

I reined in my judgment too long.

I did warn,

But not enough, and clear;

And today I know what I was guilty of.



…Albrecht Haushofer



With the outbreak of the Second World War, Haushofer remained a professor of geopolitics at the University of Berlin, but distanced himself from his Nazi past and began… Continue
