the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

How absurd is this - today my Republican colleagues along with some Democrats tell us that we should be spending all of our time on the floor deregulating some of the largest banks in America. Are our memories so short that we have learned nothing from the 2008 Wall Street crash?

Ο Ρότζερ Γουότερς μιλά στο πλαίσιο εκδήλωσης που διοργάνωσε το Φεβρουάριο το Δίκτυο για την Υπεράσπιση της Παλαιστίνης στην Αυστραλία. Στην εκδήλωση συμμετείχε η συγγραφέας και ακτιβίστρια Randa Abdel-Fattah και ο συγγραφέας Antony Loewenstein. Ο Ρότζερ Γουότερς, που ήταν στη Μελβούρνη στο πλαίσιο της περιοδείας του, επέλεξε να αφιερώσει το ένα από τα βράδια του εκεί για να παρευρεθεί στην εκδήλωση. Μίλησε για τη σημασία του κινήματος για την Παλαιστίνη και την υποστήριξη που σταδιακά κερδίζει σε διεθνές επίπεδο. Σχολίασε επίσης, όλους εκείνους τους καλλιτέχνες που αρνούνται να συμμετάσχουν στο μποϊκοτάζ του Ισραήλ. Έδωσε μια απάντηση στους επικριτές του, που τον κατηγορούν για bullying, μεταξύ των οποίων γνωστά συγκροτήματα, όπως οι Radiohead, που έσπασαν τον καλλιτεχνικό αποκλεισμό και πραγματοποίησαν συναυλία στο Ισραήλ. https://info-war.gr/toys-pyrovoloyn-ta-ga-podia-mi-moy-milas-gia-eleytheria-ekfrasis/

by Jason Hirthler Part 2 - Inception 1971 In a short span of time in the 1970s, dozens of think tanks were established across the western world and billions of dollars were spent proselytizing the tenets of the Powell Memo in 1971, which galvanized a counter-revolution to the liberal upswing of the Sixties. The neoliberal economic model of deregulation, downsizing, and privatization was preached by the Reagan-Thatcher junta, liberalized by the Clinton regime, temporarily given a bad name by the unhinged Bush administration, and saved by telegenic restoration of the Obama years. The ideology that underlay the model saturated academia, notably at the University of Chicago, and the mainstream media, principally at The New York Times. Since then it has trickled down to the general populace, to whom it now feels second nature. Today think tanks like the Heritage Foundation, the Brookings Institute, Stratfor, Cato Institute, American Enterprise Institute, Council

by Eric Maurice Part 3 - Democracy and legitimacy All this would be just an anecdote about the EU bubble court, worth entertaining columns, if it had not come amid grand speeches about EU democracy and the legitimacy of the institutions.

 On 14 January, Juncker defended to the public the so-called Spitzenkandidat process, by which the commission president is chosen according to the result of the European elections. The commission chief, he said, is " not an anonymous bureaucrat or a putschist who would have forced the doors of the Berlaymont ". Just a week after, he accepted that his head of cabinet becomes civil servant in chief in what many inside the house consider as a coup - and then legitimised the move by a press conference. The press conference is now brandished by the commission as the proof that all was done in transparency. As if journalists called at the last minute for a news they didn't know had all the elements at the time to a

White House officials have warned openly for an expansion of the economic embargo, which is already causing suffocation to the Venezuelan economy, making it even more difficult for the country to import basic food and medicines. New threats concerning sanctions related to the Venezuelan oil sector may result to even complete banning of imports into the US. At the same time, the possibility of prohibiting insurance for the oil tankers from Venezuela is being examined, meaning complete prohibition of oil shipment. As the American economist and analyst Mark Weisbrot reveals citing well-informed sources in Washington, the White House is now threatening even opposition executives, such as Henri Falcón , in order not to take part in the presidential electi
