The Rise of “Sub-Imperialism” The heads of state of the Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa BRICS network are coming to Durban in four months, meeting on 26-27 March at the International Convention Centre (ICC), Africa’s largest venue. Given their recent performance, it is reasonable to expect another ‘1%’ summit, wreaking socio-economic and ecological havoc. And that means it is time for the first BRICS counter-summit, to critique top-down ‘sub-imperialist’ bloc formation, and to offer bottom-up alternatives. After all, we have had some bad experiences at the Durban ICC: * in 2001, in spite of demands by 10,000 protesters, the United Nations World Conference Against Racism refused to grapple with reparations for slavery and colonialism or with apartheid-Israel’s racism against Palestinians (hence Tel Aviv’s current ethnic cleansing of Gaza goes unpunished); Eco-disasters made in Durban The Durban deal squashed poor countries’ ability to defend against climate disaster. Looting Africa ‘Sub-imperialism’?
Yoga Cold War II by Noam Chomsky These are exciting days in Washington, as the government directs its energies to the demanding task of "containing Iran" in what Washington Post correspondent Robin Wright, joining others, calls "Cold War II." During Cold War I, the task was to contain two awesome forces. The lesser and more moderate force was "an implacable enemy whose avowed objective is world domination by whatever means and at whatever cost." Hence "if the United States is to survive," it will have to adopt a "repugnant philosophy" and reject "acceptable norms of human conduct" and the "long-standing American concepts of `fair play'" that had been exhibited with such searing clarity in the conquest of the national territory, the Philippines, Haiti and other beneficiaries of "the idealistic new world bent on ending inhumanity," as the newspaper of record describes our noble mission. But at least it was possible to deal with , unlike the fiercer enemy, . And daunting it is. But no matter. regards as a threat.
Dept. of sucking up: Aren't our dear leaders great! Some high-ranking U.N. officials hired in the wake of Ban Ki-moon's re-election have been receiving something of a hero's welcome at Turtle Bay, marked by the solicitousness one would associate with, say, a visit by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to a rural hemp factory. The U.N. Department of Management (DM) and the U.N. Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), issued internal memos last month detailing the debuts of their new bosses, undersecretary generals Yukio Takasu, a former veteran Japanese diplomat who once served on the U.N. The two memos -- which have the ring of 1950s corporate press releases or state propaganda -- contrast starkly with the scathing portrayals of dysfunction and leadership failures that dominate international media coverage of the United Nations. "It's been 100 days since Mr. In his office's own telling, Takasu's underlings are clearly impressed by his debut. The meet and greet was clearly a success. How's that for efficiency!

Meditation Wordpress To understand neurological space, Dr. Leary assumes that the nervous system consists of eight potential circuits, or “gears,” or mini-brains. Four of these brains are in the usually active left lobe and are concerned with our terrestrial survival; four are extraterrestrial, reside in the “silent” or inactive right lobe, and are for use in our future evolution. This explains why the right lobe is usually inactive at this stage of our development, and why it becomes active when the person ingests psychedelics. We will explain each of the eight “brains” briefly. I. This invertebrate brain was the first to evolve (2 to 3 million years ago) and is the first activated when a human infant is born. II. This second, more advanced bio-computer formed when vertebrates appeared and began to compete for territory (perhaps 500,000,000 B.C.). III. It is no accident, then, that our logic (and our computer-design) follows either-or, binary structure of these circuits. IV. V. VI. VII. VIII. Dr.
Schneier on Security Democracy 2011: pros and cons Fyodor Lukyanov's column Published time: December 30, 2011 11:44 What made the centerpiece of international affairs year 2011? It was one of the most turbulent periods since the early 21st century in terms of ongoing global shift. But if one wanted to identify a key notion, it would be democracy. The events of the past 12 months demonstrated that it is also going through fundamental changes, albeit in opposite directions. The most vivid example of complicated dialectics was the Arab Spring – a chain of popular movements and uprisings in several states in North Africa and Middle East. On the one hand, developments there showed that the idea of unchangeable authoritarian rule doesn’t suit the public mood at all anymore. Legitimacy is a key pillar to internal stability. Events in other parts of world, very distant from the Middle East confirmed this phenomenon. Fyodor Lukyanov, for RT
