Joe Hickman and three other members of the US military, who have presented a coherent explanation for how the men were, in fact, taken to a secret facility outside the main perimeter fence of Guantánamo on the evening of June 9, 2006, where they died – either accidentally, as a result of torture that went too far, or beca…

It is time for Asia to use its stronger voice to take a more prominent role in this new world order. The progression from the Western-dominated G8 to a more inclusive G20, with meaningful positions for leading Asian economies, rightly reflects the shift to a new equilibrium in which Asia has much greater weight.

The Geezer’s Crusade
Max Berry: I was all set to do a blog about how using Windows is like growing evil tomatoes, then American corporations became real people. They’ve been people for a while, of course: they have the right to own things and sue you and claim they’ve been defamed. Your chair can’t do that. A corporation can, because it’s a person.
But they weren’t enough of a person, apparently, so now they have First Amendment rights. In particular, they have the right to spend as much money as they like on political advertising: airing ads in favor of anti-regulation candidates over pro-regulation ones, for example.

The five men and five women were in custody in the capital, Port-au-Prince after their arrests on Friday night. There are fears that traffickers could try to exploit the chaos and turmoil following Haiti's January 12 earthquake quake to engage in illegal adoption. What the TV doesn’t tell us about Haiti
by Claudio Testa
January 30, 2010 - The world’’s TV is showing, as we might expect, a false picture of reality. In the case of Haiti, this is all the more outrageous given the circumstances. With barely disguised racism they paint the picture of a people who are suffering but "ignorant" and "barbarous", incapable of "keeping order" by themselves after the earthquake, necessitating a renewed colonial occupation, with a fresh US invasion. Of course, no-one mentions the two-hundred-year war…

It emphasizes the importance of our need to focus on the 3 "E’s" of energy depletion, environment, and economic collapse on local levels as opposed to federal government solutions which only exacerabate the severity of these issues. ~ Carolyn Baker
My comment: This is yet another way in which the poor are mosthammered by collapse. Slow, organic food is almost always moreexpensive at this point in time and mostly out of reach for them.
