The War On Terra: Canada vs. Australia

A Fresh Look At The War On Terra

I don’t know about you, but I’m having a crappy day. Not much to be done about it now but hang in there, I know it will get better. In the meantime, here’s The Juice Media’s satirical take on the War on ~~Terror~~ Terra: how have the “capitols of the civilized world” Australia and Canada helped to bring about the apocalypse lately?

Juice Rap News – Episode 17: The War on Terra. It’s 2013 and the world did not end by meteorite or by Mayan calendar. But fear not: we might just be able to get the job done ourselves. Join Robert Foster as he sets out to discover where Civilisation™ is making the fastest progress towards annihilation. In this edition of the Civilisation Report, Robert learns about Australia and Canada – two oft-neglected pioneers of peace, progress and prosperity – in conversation with our antipodean colonial correspondent Ken Oathcarn and his Canuck counterpart, Fagin Heighbard. Dear viewers, consider this a fair warning that in terms of language and affront to the dominant culture this could get f***g messy.

And speaking of using humour to address the dismal situation we find ourselves in as a species (not to mention my crappy day), head over to HolyShitters.com, created by “John Crapper”, with a byline that says: If we really want to straighten out all this crap we really need to think about shit. Hear, hear!

GM Potatoes scrapped in Europe: VICTORY

Victory! BASF halts EU approval process for genetically modified potatoes

January 29, 2013. Source: Industry Week, Agence France-Presse

BASF (IW 1000/33), the world’s biggest chemicals company, said Tuesday it has decided to no longer seek European approval of its genetically modified potato products in the face of stiff resistance.

BASF said in a statement it will “discontinue the pursuit of regulatory approvals for the Fortuna, Amadea, and Modena potato projects in Europe because continued investment cannot be justified due to uncertainty in the regulatory environment and threats of field destructions.” Continue reading “GM Potatoes scrapped in Europe: VICTORY”

Mexican revolution, resistance is fertile

by Jen Wilton

From the rise of the #YoSoy132 student movement to the resurgence of the Zapatistas, Mexico remains at the very heart of the global cycle of struggles.

“The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion.”

~ Albert Camus

The winds of change are blowing in Mexico.

A growing wave of resistance is gathering momentum and can be found in the jungles and mountains of the south and in small indigenous communities and big cities alike. It is present along the coasts and across the plateaus, up to the bastions of power in Mexico City and beyond to the regions of the north, so badly scarred by the war on drugs.

PP es Corrupción : ..Delincuentes Organizados ”gobiernan” el Estado

PP y corrupción son una misma cosa: Una banda de delincuentes organizada gobierna el estado

por Kaos. Estado Español

En las anotaciones manuscritas del extesorero del PP aparecen donaciones privadas, procedentes fundamentalmente de la construcción. Una banda organizada para delinquir.

Que no los engañen, tampoco desde esa supuesta progresía que pide cabezas pero no duda en afirmar que los delitos están prescritos o no llegan a las cantidades necesarias para ser delitos. Si lo de los “papeles de Bárcenas” se demuestra, a los implicados se les puede perfectamente juzgar por pertenecer a banda organizada, asociación de malhechores, o cualquier supuesto similar que, de una u otra manera, aparezca en el Código penal. Pues eso y no otra cosa es lo que serían: una organización criminal diseñada para repartirse suculentos beneficios provinientes de la corrupción, el soborno y el cohecho.

Serial of The Free 29/30: Lerriman’s Plan and Bye Bye Maggie

**************

Act Three Chapter twenty nine

Lerriman’s Plan

-‘We need them dead. Just announce they’re dead’-

General Mulcatty and Commander Bruton were ushered in without ceremony for the Emergency Rule session in Lerriman’s back office. Leaving a crowd of security men and bodyguards, chatting and smoking in the patio.

Lerriman watched coldly. His bulging eyes shot red from the sleepless night.

While Mulcatty eased himself painfully into his seat, his hemorrhoids itching like crazy.

And Bruton shuffled in his briefcase, smiling his ice cold smile. Continue reading “Serial of The Free 29/30: Lerriman’s Plan and Bye Bye Maggie”

Do we still need Feminism?..Of COURSE, it’s a Way of Life!

Do we still need feminism?

by Teresa Mollá Castells *Friday, January 25, 2013 (en español abajo)
Of course we do! For me it’s a way of life not just demanding equal rights . Because it sees that power and authority are not the same thing, because it seeks horizontal human relations . Because it treats people NOT as objects and restores integrity and dignity ...Source: Cimac, with thanks

This week someone asked me if feminism was still needed in the times in which we live. I’ve heard he arguments to justify not needing feminism in today’s society not thousands, but maybe millions of times, here are some of them: Continue reading “Do we still need Feminism?..Of COURSE, it’s a Way of Life!”
