One year after Douglas Rushkoff’s Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus – disturbing enough an analytical description of the evolution of Corporatism since the late Middle Ages and its apotheosis during the present days – Vandana Shiva published an even more detailed, harrowing, terrifying and revolting account of where the present global society is heading for: the abyss. Vandana Shiva is an acclaimed scientist and since decades a crusader for upholding objective scientific standards, apart from being one of if not THE most influential activist for the protection of our environment in terms of biodiversity and the protection of seedbanks, Read More

Julian Assange: shame shame shame

“…. Is it still possible by any means to save them….?”
George Gurdjeff, Belzebub’s Tales to His Grandson Gurdjeff’s Belzebub certainly counts among the most arcane fiction ever put on paper. And that not only because the Belzebub, commonly identified with the devil, appears as the most benevolent character in the history of mankind.

The grandson, who takes a compassionate interest into the fate Read More
Equilibrer la Contemplation et le Courage….
« Savez-vous, disait Napoléon à Fontanes, ce que j’admire le plus au monde ? C’est l’impuissance de la force à fonder quelque chose. Il n’y a que deux puissances au monde : le sabre et l’esprit. À la longue le sabre est toujours vaincu par l’esprit. » Les conquérants, on le voit, sont quelquefois mélancoliques. Il faut bien payer un peu le prix de tant de vaine gloire.

Shared Ideas, Shared Ideals, Shared Actions….
What Meghana Raveendra is writing on the Kanthari Blog brings one of the key questions for effective positive change to the point: will social change makers around the globe be able to form a movement or will they sooner or later be cornered as freaks and fall victim to Orwellian type of standardization and sterilization permeating politics at large during these times? We feel with her and that shared feeling had brought about our partnership with Kanthari since last year…… f.n. knock knock knock – By Meghana Raveendra “Networking is not about just connecting people. It’s about connecting people with Read More

By Dilip – Thursday, February 18, 2021 WE STAND WITH INDIAN FARMERS We – farmers, activists, and citizens of the world – stand in solidarity with farmers in India protesting to protect their livelihoods.

They are protesting three new laws, passed hastily without due deliberation, that will deregulate agriculture in India. For many, this Read More

Biden’s Inauguration Speech
It wasn’t a lecture, it wasn’t advertising – it was a speech living up to the moment. Let’s hope for the best…: Full video. David Brooks writes about this: “….
