When I came to the Museum of Memory and Tolerance … [Plaza Juárez, Mexico City], I read a sign printed in black letters on a wall:
“I do not fear repression, I fear the silence of my people.”
The words immediately sent me to the 43 Normal School students and made me think about,
What is it to being a teacher? Is it just about teaching reading and writing?
In Mexico, the Normal Schools [teachers colleges] provide teachers for the most remote and difficult places in the country, where politicians show up only at election time. For a child, an adolescent, to be part of a school is to make friendships and develop a sense of belonging. We all seek to belong to a community. We all seek the benefit of a friend. Companionship…

Ireland’s government blackmail on the Irish people – accept a new tax on water or increase in property taxes – has failed already, as the streets all over Ireland turned into rivers of people standing up and saying: “No means fecking No“. All in all it seems that in the entire Ireland, 1 million people took it to the streets to say they won’t pay and stop water privatization. This means a third of Ireland participated to #IrishWater protests. Continue reading “Rivers of People vs. New Tax on Water #IrishWater”

At last a major ‘tech guru’ is in favour of green-NH3, the non-fossil aand CO2-free fuel that has always existed, suppressed by the fossil fuel industry. (See Ted Talk below). We’ve been saying it for years with zero impact. all combustion motors can be run on green NH3, cutting climate destroying gases by 30% and abolishing air pollution, saving millions from an agonizing death.
Alex Lightman has challenged the oil giants, with
Its a huge advance for green-NH3 (ie. ammonia from renewables) and comes hard on the heels of Toyota’s CO2-free ammonia prototype sportscar.. and the proposal to convert part of Sth Korea’s fleet Korean ammonia NH3 car to Slash CO2 and Toxic Air.
Lightman is another ‘Mr Fix It’ reformist, albeit a brilliant and powerful one. He wants to destroy the oil giants to fix capitalism, so that it can escape its current blind alley and the USA can still rule the world. However if the alternative is climate chaos and the extinction of millions of species, including our children, his reformism is more than welcome, as a respite while real grass roots revolution can develop.
