Does the United States produce a Superior Breed of People?
(4 comments) If not inhibited by a wise and loving upbringing, human beings certainly turn out to be the cruelest of animals. Other animals kill for food and possibly to save their own lives or the life of a loved one. Humans kill and torture from a cruel sense of power or for the ultimate fulfillment of their greed.

Will the World Survive GM Cultures and the Damage to the Earth's Eco-Systems?
(6 comments) Monsanto and the other major biotech companies are all set on owning the world's food supply. Monsanto is by far the leader in this nightmare of destroying organic agriculture and millennia-old biodiversity. They have no respect whatsoever for the lives and the livelihood of farmers or any concern for the people who are exposed to severe health hazards ... Corporate profit is all that counts.

The Corporations – Killers of Democracy
(29 comments) It's way too late at this moment to ask the question: Are we going to lose our democracy? We may not all have noticed it yet, but the Big Corporations stole our democracy a long time ago. How did they manage? They bought up everything, from the heavy to the light industry, arms, oil, chemical, to the people in Congress who are supposed to protect us from abuse of power. But, above all, they bought up the media.

Another World is Possible
The world has developed into a distorted form of money market where speculation, lack of regulation of transfers of capital, accumulation of the wealth of the wealthy and letting the poor fall by the wayside has become the rule of the day. For decades nobody seemed to notice or care. The speculators were thriving, Wall Street was booming and all was well with the world.

The Din of Exploding Bombs and the Dense Fog of Corporate Propaganda
(2 comments) The world is standing on its head. Priorities are so totally screwed up that it seems unlikely they will ever get straightened out. There was a time when people mattered. There was a time when governments had the concerns of the people in mind when running a country. There was a time when elections had a meaning and democracy was not just an empty word.

In a broadcast interview with Daniel Mermet on French radio*, former UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Ziegler, stated that the current world food crisis is not due to nature, but to man.

Fantasy or Reality – Is There a Way Back?
(3 comments) The world is standing on its head. Logic and reason are gone. Humpty Dumpty had a big fall and is sliding downhill faster than has ever been seen in the times of so-called civilized life on earth. Humane priorities are ignored by the dirt-covered oligarchs who decide over the future of our all but condemned planet.

William Clinton and Monsanto – a Team for Mutual Profit
(1 comments) How did we come to this state of the world where we don't know what we eat or drink, where there is nothing but secrecy as far as what the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is plotting with the gigantic Monsanto corporation?

The Multiple Faces of India
(2 comments) Traveling in India is a fascinating and mind-changing experience. You are charmed by the friendly and beautiful people, even though underneath it all there are many aspects of the lives of poor Indians that are difficult to accept with equanimity. Nevertheless you are bound to fall in love with the country even though the harsh reality is so visible everywhere.

The United States and Israel – The End Losers
(3 comments) There was a time when I had hope for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, believing that peace might actually be a realistic hope for the world. ... After all the letdowns in the past I am feeling totally disillusioned as to the possibility of an equitable solution between Israel and the Palestinians.

Ask Not For Whom the Bell Tolls
(1 comments) A World Out of Joint If there is not a restoration of some balance of power, the world will sink into a maelstrom of screwed-up governance, callous disregard for the people and a state of permanent war. The chief purpose of our neocon government is to give the Empire undisputed power and to make the giant corporations the multi-billionaire kings of this lopsided world.

The Rule of the Vultures
The vultures are running the world and their rule has only one purpose, making sure that the people are deaf and blind. That they are ignorant of the injustice and inequality that are the centerpieces of world domination.

Venezuela and Russia Voting on December 2 – Worlds Apart
(1 comments) Hugo Chávez lost the referendum on constitutional reforms. But is he really the loser? Putin's party, United Russia, won the election. Sure. But at what price? Chávez is blacklisted by the western mainstream media, in particular by the U.S. However, he graciously conceded defeat even before all the votes had been counted. Putin is blacklisted by nobody, but who is the real dictator?
