Spanish authorities have prosecuted a child for terrorism! Incredible but true!

I want to share my article with you. This is about the link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues. The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.

Millions of Indians raged and wept at the execution of the brave youth who chanted anti-British slogans and “Inquilab Zindabad�? (“Long live revolution�?) as they climbed to the gallows. The revolutionary aspirations and atheist convictions of these members of the Hindustani Socialist Republican Organization contrasted sharply with the religious mysticism and pacifist path preached by M. K. Gandhi and the Congress Party at that time. Since then, for many decades the Congress Party has run India as a neo-colonial state, politically independent but dependent in every way on imperialist countries—as recently illustrated by the slavish reception that government gave George W. Bush despite huge protests. Meanwhile, Singh and his comrades have become popular revolutionary icons in today’s India. A new Indian film drawing large crowds in many countries focuses on today’s Indian middle class youth, for whom Bhagat Singh is a symbol not of the past but of a possible future. A reader sent us the following unsolicited film review. We encourage others to follow her example.

“The Vietnam War has been the subject of hundreds of films, both fiction and non-fiction, but this story—the story of the rebellion of thousands of American soldiers against the war—has never been told in film. This is certainly not for lack of evidence...

* From Venezuela we extend an invitation to an international event of and for social movements in the struggle, as a more valid option to the bureaucratic spectacle the World Social Forum has become.

Teaser? Plainly, I know first-hand that what the author of the referenced article, in this post, states is certainly of the order of truth. I know and have been displaced into beyond poverty, to rather quite total poverty, for going on seven years, as of the anniversary date next month, on Aug. 8th. It's not the anniversary of going literally into beyond, or total poverty limits, but of the last day of employment that I had had, in 1998; around four ensuing months having been used to recouperate from burnout, and then the job search going into full throttle from the first week of January 1999 until the end of August 1999, when all had to be abandonned; the apartment, the car upon which another year and a half of payments were left to be paid, and by far all of my possessions. Having found myself homeless, car-less, ..., and having had parents who retired to reside in Quebec, long before, and them having a spare room, well, this is where I headed to.

Even before that happened, there were already US companies putting job ads out like the two the author of the referenced article refers to; making it clear that US citizens are, now, and were back then, not welcome, "need not apply", for jobs in their own country.

Even when writing solely for industry insiders in the media sections of newspapers, journalists are cautious to avoid stating the dependence on advertising too baldly...

TORONTO, Oct. 8 - The Terra Footwear Company is dropping a national billboard advertising campaign that features scantily clad women in suggestive poses after the ads prompted an angry response from CAW members and a growing public backlash.

It is a testament to the force of Noam Chomsky's ideas that a film like "Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky In Our Times" can get a theatrical release. The documentary, which opened this weekend in New York and on a small number of screens in North America, is essentially just a highlight reel of the graying intellectual's most relevant thoughts about the post-9/11 world.
