In this article I put forth my personal Political-Genetic theory based on original research that anyone can follow. Using this knowledge as a foundation for further thoughts, inspired by Judith Moriarty's article as A SPRINGBOARD, I launch into a visionary flight.
A leading Australian marine scientist John Church
in an interview by Michael Byrnes of Rueters told of his research revealing that "Observations are in the very upper edge of the projections,"(1) "I feel that we're getting uncomfortably close to threshold," said Church. "....the Antarctic Peninsula is warming faster than anywhere else on Earth, and glaciers are in massive retreat." A United Nations report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in February projected sea level gains of 18-59 centimeters (7-23 inches) this century from temperature rises
Review of Zapatistas' struggle for autonomy and freedom.
This Week In Palestine, a service of the International Middle East Media Center, www.IMEMC.org, for March 17th through 23rd, 2007.
The embargo on Palestine continues as the new unity government is sworn in. And civil clashes leave three dead and twenty wounded in the Gaza Strip. These stories and more, coming up. Stay tuned.
Apart from writing terrific looking reports, and with the exception of bringing much sought after relief in few individual cases, what level of global impact has Amnesty International had over the years? Its own ongoing reports on Israel-Palestine are of exactly zero impact, as empirically evident by the continual reality of new faits accomplis being daily constructed on the ground! In Project Humanbeingsfirst's view, this is entirely because the battles are often being fought at the "low order bits of the issues", when "the higher order bits" entirely determine where "the page faults" (in computer science geek-speak). This deplorable failing in our view, can easily be remedied by addressing the issues at the right levels of abstraction.
This analysis explores why dialogs among civilizations continually fail to produce results by showcasing one short dialog as an illustrative example. The showcased dialog is meant to illustrate the depth of passion, preconceptions, and self-interests that often formulate opposing view points such that if ever they come together for a discussion, they fail to communicate despite all the rationality and compassion they can muster in the best of cases, friends. The Preamble is informally structured into three seamless sections. First section is the narrative that highlights vast disparity in views, emotional affiliations, and cultural attachments, as exemplary of any deeply contentious and dichotomous problem space that is insoluble and irresolute under current best practices among nations and peoples. The second section is the analysis that points towards a rational approach that can potentially make this problem tractable and make contentious dialogs among civilizations actually work despite jealously coddled self-interests. It further examines a snippet from a dialog between former American President Jimmy Carter and his detractors on his own new book "Palestine, Peace not Apartheid" to extend the analysis. The third section develops the rational solution space by proposing a strangely commonsensical algorithm that has hitherto been ignored by nations and statesmen alike, like the proverbial trumpeting elephant in the bridal suite. It further makes suggestions on how to globally deploy this algorithm to validate its premise. The Preamble is followed by a short illustrative dialog in the form of letters and replies to demonstrate how dialogs fail. The illustrative sequence showcasing where it succeeds is left for Part-2. Hopefully that will happen - by employing the commonsensical algorithm developed here - before another civilization is made to hit the dust at the hands of hectoring hegemons!

BETWEEN THE LINES Syndicated Radio Newsmagazine --Weekly Summary
Strong majorities in developing nations around the world support requiring countries that sign trade agreements to meet minimum labor and environmental standards, a multinational poll finds. Nine in 10 Americans also support such protections. The leaders of less developed nations have generally opposed including language mandating minimum standards for working conditions and environmental protections in trade deals, arguing that such rules are protectionist and would undermine their ability to compete in major markets such as Europe and the United States.
The European Union celebrates its 50th birthday March 25 with its members embroiled in controversies over enlargement, a proposed constitution and how to create jobs while spurring growth.
But EU boosters can take comfort in the fact that publics both inside and outside of Europe tend to view the union positively. In 24 out of 27 countries surveyed in recent months for the BBC World Service, people mostly approve of the EU's influence in the world. Overall an average of 53 percent worldwide say the EU has a positive influence while only 19 percent say it has a negative one.

A recent article brought home the shocking truth of today's new world order by contrasting the social outrage expressed against Richard Nixon for his minor offence of a break and enter (Watergate) with today's social complacency in the face of half-a-million civilian dead in Iraq. The office of president of the USA has become an experimental position where corporate placed buffoons are allowed to reign ruin on the world. The "bouquet of flowers, mission accomplished, WMD, give war a chance", administration got it wrong from the start yet 'bouquet' Wolfowitz has been promoted to the president of the World Bank, where he continues to bungle and lose to other interests (China). The incompetent clown, Bush, remains president and the criminals who benefit remain behind the scenes profiting on the misery of others!
"Second Life" is a new platform. The first platform of humanity's history was the biblical ark of Noah.. We can now enter a parallel universe during life.

I know how active PDX indymedia folks are in the 9/11 Truth arena, wanted to share a pdf I upped over on la.indymedia.org.
This is a pdf of Ted Nace's book, Gangs Of America: The Rise of Corporate America and the Disabling of Democracy

WASHINGTON (AP)Labor Union — The Labor Department has agreed to issue rules outlining an employer's responsibility for the cost of workers' safety equipment — two months after a lawsuit by the AFL-CIO and the United Food and Commercial Workers seeking such regulations.

Israel illegally withheld the tax and customs it collects on behalf of the PA, US$60 million a month or approximately 50 percent of the PA's monthly revenues, while the Quartet, the US, European Union, Russia and the UN, cut off all direct aid to the PA, depriving it of a further 25 percent of its budget....Malnutrition rates in 2004 were as bad as parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It is the main public health problem, with 37.9 percent of children under five and 31.1. percent of women of child bearing age being anaemic. Twenty-two percent of under-fives are deficient in vitamin A and 20 percent are deficient in iodine.

Today marks the one year anniversary of Charlie Sheen going public on his doubts about the official 9/11 story, a courageous act that has inspired a chain reaction of other high profile figures to use their media platforms in drawing attention to the 9/11 truth movement.
Principles governing the process of the evolution of a new species based upon observations of bedbugs, with the assumption being made that the explanation for the diversity found in bedbugs, and not found in other insects, is an instability which has as its cause the process of evolutionary change.

This is the continuation of a group of poems including "Insurance", "Insurance Fraud" and "The Salvador Project"
These poems deal with fanatical doublespeak of the "christianization" of the Iran/Contra Scandal being recreated with far more reaching consequences by terrible tortures. Please follow Chiquita and get the names of the CEO's. It is an insurance fraud scam, that is where we will find the pay outs! THIS MONEY IS SUPPOSED TO BE LAUNDERED> It is not justice!
Isn't war the absolute negation of every human right?.. The globalization of predator capitalism launched an attack on the whole world whose extent we are beginning to grasp: war-the military arm of the economy that has brought us to the edge of a nuclear winter.
For more than a decade, French rap has been the voice of the banlieues, the poor suburbs, and it has long been full of warnings of violence to come in those areas. The tensions - and the musical culture - of these estates were briefly brought to international attention by the 1996 film La Haine ("Hate"), but it is the hip hop world that has kept the issues uppermost in the minds of French youth.

Is it possible to be antiwar but still support the troops?
A poem.
Steadily over - exaggerated belief of commoners in the UN power, assistance provided practically and abilities-in-general greatly sustains self-overestimation of own possibilities and planetary value UN System's international bureaucrats enjoy to date worldwide with card-blanche from international community.
Following up this myth of UN System's top universality, some even non-confidential UN-related sites are for "sensitive reasons" unreachable to a broad public, from which reprint of a paper "MDG: Specific of Achievements" deliberating the billiard-dollar-UN-initiative, "The Millennium Development Goals (MDG)", might to some extent fill a gap between real and imaginary. An author suggests that math used to is simply understandable by educated even outside practicing the special higher mathematical technics.
The bitter fact is when people of the Middle -East fight for the freedom of their country, resisting invasion with all their will, all their might, courageously sacrificing their lives in order to regain autonomy, dignity and pride, they are immediately labeled "terrorists", or aligned to the "axis of evil ". Gone is the notion of noble resistance from the memory of these same people whose countries were born or liberated thanks to its freedom fighters: what applied to them simply does not for those who do not comply to their view of remodeling the world and who do not resign to their plans. The rule of double standards reigns supreme!
No freedom of religion if religion calls to war, glorifies war, presents war as inevitable or promotes the hatred of humankind.
Julie Szego, who writes for the australian AGE and also Australian Jewish News, has writtn a hatchet piece against President Ahmadinejad of Iran, in which all the old lies are trotted out. So ive written a letter to the AGE, and now will spread around the internet
Little is known by Congress of an unregulated private army belonging to Bush et al, by the Congress. Yet they are responsible for the escalation of violence in Iraq, the destruction of New Orleans, and are currently doing black ops in Iran. Do you want them coming to your next disaster?
is it to keep its multi billion $ contracts with Iran's government?
is it to help exploit not only Persian gulf resources, but Caspian sea resources? does this mean our military is now contracting with a foreign company for services ranging from dining to highly classified ops?
The situation in Chiapas is very tense and everyday it worsens. What we're seeing is a new policy that brings together paramilitary forces with state and federal governements, the police and the armed forces, to take away the Zapatista's land and provoke a conflict in order to justify an armed incursion.
The Pentagon was the focus of a spirited Peace demonstration on March 17, 2007. The crowd in the tens of thousands heard from over 30 riveting speakers. Activist Cindy Sheehan said: "Let's stop this b... s...These b... s.... wars. It's for the corporations...to make them rich and line the pockets of the...war criminals." She added: "We're the deciders. And we have decided that we want Bush and Cheney impeached...indicted...and imprisoned."
Blabbermouth Bush's Threats Against Iran, Like War In Iraq, Are Pushing Up Oil Prices
Well produced, factually/histrically accurate and truthrul portrayal of the situation in Iraq and the lies and deception that precipitated the march 2003 invasion. Gotta stop this war. Thanks Canada. We are truly in need.
Happy Norouz!

An examination of three hypotheses concerning the evolutionary development of the bedbug
We are systematically moved to think in ways of seeing things which, if we understood, we would realize are against our own interests. Chomsky calls this "engineering of opinion". In the context of "Oppositional Defiant Disorder" now being deployed upon many many children, the term and ideology supposedly encapsulating creative "crazy-*makers*" spells Soviety-style psychiatry in the USA. That is, containment and suppression of dissent.
Consider the question of indie filmmakers as freedom fighters. Every now and then, some flagrant injustice will capture the imagination of an auteur who becomes obsessed with setting things right by making a documentary. Does attention from the alternative media help people in dire situations to get out? What happens to them (and their kids) afterward?
Here's the link to the article which impressed me so much on this topic; http://earthblog.net/eb-articles/hartman24.html
An important element in the struggle in Oaxaca is the defence and protection of the precious and unfortunately seriously threatened spiritual,environmental and agricultural natural resources of their state.
Oaxaca is the birthplace of corn in the world, and the US is now aggressively and deviously manipulating Mexican economic structures to force the importation of vast quantities of US GM maize. This is an issue of URGENT importance, both for Oaxaca, Mexico and the world.
While America leads the world in insularism and denial, Australia is the world leader in complacency and apathy. No cultural equivalent for the Oz expression, "she'll be right, mate", exists anywhere - notwithstanding the variation of "who gives a shit?" Today, non-involvement is proving to be a very costly cultural habit. America has become the world's most hated nation and will soon attract very real consequences for its actions, one of which is the acquisition of Australia as a colonial trophy. Australia remains an international laughing stock under the servile leadership of lackey prime minister, John Howard; Aussies are experiencing their eleventh year under the rule of the most slavish, gutless, lying, duplicitous, cringing, government on record. No other leader in world history has displayed the servility and cowardice of John Howard. When America says jump, the despicable little coward, Howard, says how high, boss!
Marches, petitions, calls, and faxes to congress are important channels for political action, but what could possibly stop a new war with Iran? One has to wonder, are our congressional leaders even reading their faxes? A notable website called www.isirannext.org recently published over 80 names and organizations of people whom directly influence policy and the president. Maybe through side channels, average Americans can get their message through.
