the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

globinfo freexchange Το ευρωκοινοβούλιο αποδείχθηκε εντελώς ανεπαρκές (και σε κάποιο βαθμό απρόθυμο), να υπερισχύσει των, υποταγμένων στα λόμπι, γραφειοκρατών και της δικτατορίας της Ευρωπαϊκής Κεντρικής Τράπεζας. Έτσι, τελικά, το Ευρωπαϊκό Δικαστήριο εξαναγκάστηκε να αναλάβει δράση και να στραφεί κατά της Κομισιόν και της ΕΚΤ. Από το euractiv.gr : Έχει παραβιάσει η τρόικα τα θεμελιώδη δικαιώματα των πολιτών της ΕΕ με την επιμονή της για λιτότητα στις χώρες που επλήγησαν από την κρίση; Αυτό είναι το ερώτημα που φαίνεται ότι πρόκειται να αναλυθεί όλο και περισσότερο και ενδέχεται να οδηγήσει σε αξιώσεις κατά της Ευρωπαϊκής Κεντρικής Τράπεζας, του Διεθνούς Νομισματικού Ταμείου και της Ευρωπαϊκής Επιτροπής, μετά την απόφαση του Ευρωπαϊκού Δικαστηρίου η οποία δίνει το δικαίωμα στους πολίτες να καταθέσουν μήνυση εναντίον της τρόικα. Η απόφαση του δικαστηρίου βασίστηκε στην τραπεζική κρίση τη

The Syrian people are suffering under the ‘moderate rebels’ and ‘opposition forces’ backed by the US, NATO member states and their allies in the Gulf states and Israel. Yet their suffering is largely ignored in the mainstream media unless it furthers the agenda dictated by the State Department. This article is the first in a two-part series of one Western journalist’s journey to Aleppo, a city ravaged by an insurgency supported by the United States, NATO member states, and their allies in the Gulf states and Israel. In Part I, Vanessa Beeley lays out the mainstream narrative on Syria, revealing a neoconservative agenda promoted by NATO-funded NGOs. These NGOs paint the destruction of the historic city as being caused by the Syrian government under Bashar Assad, not the violent armed insurgents which receive arms, funding and training from Western governments and their allies.

by Jon Schwarz Forty years ago last night, agents working for the Chilean secret service attached plastic explosives to the bottom of Orlando Letelier’s Chevrolet as it sat in the driveway of his family’s home in Bethesda, Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. A few blocks away across Massachusetts Avenue my family’s Pinto sat in our driveway unmolested. Our whole neighborhood, including my mother and father and sister and me, slept through everything. Forty years ago this morning, the Chilean agents followed Letelier as he drove himself into Washington, down Massachusetts to the think tank where he worked. The bomb went off as Letelier went around Sheridan Circle, ripping off most of the lower half of his body. He died shortly afterward, as did Ronni Moffitt, a 25-year-old American who’d been in the car with him. A second passenger, Moffitt’s husband Michael, survived. Letelier’s murder was ordered by the Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who’d o

U.S. National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden has criticized Google's new messaging application, saying it is a breach of privacy and will track everything that users will say. The technology giant launched its new so called “smart chat” application, Allo, on Wednesday, promising more intelligent text conversation features, including auto-reply options. Snowden, also a former CIA employee before who is now living in exile in Russia, said via Twitter that Google’s application will “ record every message you ever send and make it available to police upon request, ” adding that Allo was “dangerous” and nicknaming the application “Google Surveillance.” Snowden stressed that 100 percent of close to 1,500 surveillance requests were granted by the U.S. foreign intelligence court and that user data stored in Allo could easily be obtained too.
