Dr. Arthur Becker-Weidman is a leading practitioner of DDP.
Excellent article by Paul Street on Z Magazine's website, ZNET. Explains why US is responsible for the crushing poverty in Haiti, exacerbating the destruction and deaths of thousands of people when the earthquake hit. No surprise there -- seems that in most of the countries where US has intervened, the results have been mass poverty, death, despair and suffering for the poor/workers.

Here are a couple of useful articles about Haiti that show that while you can't stop natural disasters you can prevent the disasterous results, and who is responsible for those disasterous results.
The Remarkable History (and Possible Future) Of Permaculture Disaster Relief
Devastation in Port Au Prince 1/13/09 From www.punkrockpermaculture.com Yesterday the island of Hispanola was hit with a devastating 7.3 magnitude earthquake near Port-Au-Prince the capital of Haiti . Many multiple story buildings have completely collapsed including the major Hospital in the region. Thousands may be killed or trapped in the rubble and aid is being mobilized from around the world. With little to no backup power, sewage, water, housing, or food aid systems in place, Haiti, which is currently the poorest nation in the western hemisphere, is in a VERY DIRE SITUATION. Without a doubt resources and expertise are moving en mass to Haiti, but beyond this temporary relief, what will sustain this nation of 10 million people when it's left in an even poorer position than ever before? This is where permaculture design comes in, with an adaptable and ever evolving tool kit that can be of vital assistance in disaster relief and the long recovery period to follow.
A major earthquake struck Haiti's capital, collapsing buildings and disrupting communications. As the devastation comes into focus, Mercy Corps is deploying an emergency team.
"In analyzing financial crises, real causes should be differentiated from the side-effects. One of the essential causes for the current crisis is the discrepancy between the linear growth of the real economy and the exponential growth of financial management created above all by the derivative-economy risks that cannot be managed any more."
Scan, baby, scan. That's the mantra among politicians at all levels in the wake of the thwarted terrorist attack aboard a Detroit-bound passenger jet. According to conventional wisdom, the would-be "underwear bomber" could have been stopped by airport security if he'd been put through a full-body scanner, which would have revealed the cache of explosives attached to Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's groin.
In researching the biological effects of the millimeter wave scanners used for whole body imaging at airports, NaturalNews has learned that the energy emitted by the machines may damage human DNA.
The economic way of thinking enforced for a quarter of a century is one of the structural factors that helped this "economy of depression" breakthrough. This dominant doctrine denies the role of demand and concentrates instead on the problems limiting the supply of goods and services. The usual suspects here are high wage costs, the inflexible labor market & capital taxation.
Some proponents of a continental security zone believe that it is the best way to secure North America, but at the same time falsely claim that this could be done with respect to each nation's sovereignty. We are well on the way towards a North American security perimeter where trade and investment will be able to roam freely, while we are all forced to endure new security practices dominated by U.S. interests.
At the totalitarian so called 'European Union' in Brussels however, british PM's - first Tony Blair and now Gordon Brown again - shamelessly keep lying about the despised 'government' which these 'front men' for the criminal cartel managers from the Evil Empire* run, and which - according to this robbing clique - is 'supporting a social Europe.'
Bot = robot
A BOT is a software application designed to handle widespread automation. Bots can be created to search and retrieve information, conduct bank transactions, etc. And, bots make decisions for: primarily us-as participants in modern life, the corporations, and thieves... Below is are excerpts from a lecture given by Daniel Suarez, called "Daemon: Bot-Mediated Reality" full lecture link:  http://fora.tv/2008/08/08/Daniel_Suarez_Daemon_Bot-Mediated_Reality
I have excerpted his talk regarding security, and left out many of his other ideas, including the DarkNet idea -- where a new internet could be created to mediate reality and create a truly democratic world, which personally I find ridiculous, what do I know?
The creation of speculative bubbles creates false values, which lead to huge bonuses.
Financial executives make large bonuses and don't care about risk, know government will save them.

My name is Dr. Ronald Federici. I am a developmental
neuropsychologist, which basically means I specialize in evaluating children with neurodevelopmental and psychiatric difficulties. I am Professor of Pediatrics and Neuropsychology and Child Development. I lecture extensively throughout the United States and internationally. And I am also an honorary member of the remaining Department of Child Welfare, because my medical team works extensively in Romania, working on the institution projects.
Very interesting that a blog post, four-months old mind you! was the cause of major riots in India. A blog identifying probable culprits in the downing of a small aircraft, killing a beloved politician ...
The level of debt is the disease. The wage-productivity gap is the cause and the financial crisis is the symptom. Wages and productivity grew together until the 1970s when credits replaced rising wages. (

Learning from Roosevelt's New Deal is an imperative when the private sector wont invest.
Thought it was important to make note of another form of resistance that has risen up against economic injustice.
Avatar is rich in historical allusions and James Cameron deftly weaves into the fabric of the film the core of the relations between humans and their world. Namely, the film is primarily about the two clashing world-views at the core of the relationship between the civilised and the wild. Informed and justified by the Darwinian narrative, the civilised perspective stresses competition and violence, in which the balance of power is achieved by the strong teaming up together against everyone rendered weaker for the purposes of conquest and use as resources, whereas the wild position sees life as a process of cooperation and the balancing of forces, not powers. This is the debate between Kropotkian and Darwinian evolutionary science as well as between the wild and civilised, between pacifism and oppression, between anarchy and imperialism, and between life and death.
U.S. trade unionists began circulating an open letter in December to AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka, challenging his attack on the movement for boycott, sanctions and divestment (BDS) against Israel and explaining why the BDS movement is necessary, especially in the wake of Israel's brutal assault on Gaza a year ago.
While the letter received tremendous support, it also came under attack from some quarters. Here, Labor for Palestine responds to these attacks and issues a call for trade union members and activists to add their voices in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
The Sea Shepherds' stealth ship, the Ady Gil, was just sunk by Japanese whalers in the Antarctic ocean. The Ady Gil was idling near Commonwealth Bay,south of Hobart, when it was suddenly approached and intentionally rammed by the vessel Shonan Maru. This vessel had been accompanying the whaler Nisshin Maru, deployed to prevent the Sea Shepherds from interfering with the killing of whales. The Ady Gil was cut in half, and sunk into the ocean. Thankfully, all hands were rescued from the sea.
With the Deomocrats and Republicans in shambles, and a Senate and House of Reprentatives happy with their govenment issued healh insurance and salaries, and young graduates denied work, and minorities facing 20 % unemployment along with seniors given no cost of living raise, because Greenspan did not include the cost of food in the inflation factor, and the federal govenment giving aid to the biggest banks, and no money allowed for infrastructure repairs,or help to the middle class, just a national debt for endless wars.... we are ready for a third party which will address these needs.
A very exciting announcement: On January 9-10, Book TV (C-SPAN2) will be broadcasting Dongping Han's talk on his new book "The Unknown Cultural Revolution: Life and Change in a Chinese Village."
Governments are extorted by multinational corporations. Those who made massive profits with bank business must now answer for the losses. The taxpayer may not pay for their crises. If control is not exercised by politics, banks will become absolute rulers with a state guarantee.
The specter of socialism is again haunting the minds of the corporate elite, from the Americas to Europe and beyond. This, after decades of pro-capitalist campaigning from the corporate media, which has always confused "capitalism" with "freedom." But of course freedom and democracy cannot exist alongside tremendous inequalities of wealth — or next to corporations wielding absolute power over elections and governments.
These facts helped form the social movements in Latin America that now advocate 21st Century Socialism, a name that implies the prior century's experiments needed either updating or improving, while also implying that the general socialist "project" was progressive.
"Given Europe's fiscal crisis, which is creeping up from the near-bankrupt countries of the Mediterranean (Portugal, Italy, Greece, Spain, now dubbed the "PIGS" by Wall Street wits), the downsizing of France Telecom will be repeated throughout the risk-averse continent."
wow. a new association for the term -- PIGS.
Capitalism and the resource policy of industrial states are responsible for the increasing destruction of the environment and the dangerous warming of the global climate. The members of the alternative alliance (ALBA) set a fixed date for the start of a new regional currency system in January 2010.
Environmentalists the government spat on the idea of institutional green energy revolution. Its time for us to join those fighting capitalism and the state if we are ever going to save this planet.
On December 27th, 2009, another Mexican Judge ruled that there was NO EVIDENCE against Juan Manuel, and thus no reason to continue to hold him. The judge ordered his release within 15 days. But without US pressure, the Mexican Attorney General's office is likely to ignore the court ruling and keep him in prison, AS THEY HAVE DONE TWICE BEFORE.
The manifesto below was written in response to the millions who will see the movie "Avatar" and cheer for insurgents defending their homes, yet go home and support war, occupation, "development" and gentrification by their votes,their actions, and their shopping afterwards

The hip-hop beats ringing through the muddy, unlit streets of the burnt-out Palestinian refugee camp Nahr al-Bared seem incongruous. But the rhymes are camp-grown - and courageous.

A group of students went to Gaza and they have a blog web page with their first hand reports. The following sentence was paramount to me and thus prompted me to share it here on Indy Media:
(quote) The first question was, "how do you feel about the fact that your country made the weapons that destroyed our old school? When will they stop?"
On Sunday in Iran, mass protests were drowned in blood by government authorities; at least ten reportedly have been killed with hundreds injured. The events have been given ample coverage in the U.S. media, with the intention of further demonizing Iran's repressive government. Absent in the American media are the deeper implications of the protests, which, to anyone paying close attention, constitute a powerful revolutionary movement.
This movement has grown exponentially in a very short period of time. Although only beginning in June over allegations of voter fraud, the movement is now endorsed by millions of combative Iranians, demanding "death to the dictator," while they waive an Iranian flag that's missing the Muslim insignia. Massive demonstrations in the streets and university campuses have directly confronted police repression and in some cases have overcome it. The New York Times describes a scene found only in instances of revolution:

An American lawyer from Detroit who was on that flight says "Terrorist" was alowed aboard after big hassle with plane's crew- MSM will not even listen to him. More evidence of a false-flag propaganda operation by the Obama Administration to prop up the false "War on Terror"
