Adopting fashionable attitudes to demonstrate one’s trustworthiness — the world of politics is flush with such people hoping thereby to qualify for inclusion in some inner circle — is akin to engaging in prostitution for promissory notes. It’s not only demeaning but downright foolhardy. – Andrew J. Bacevich, ‘Washington Rules:America’s Path to Permanent War’

Ellen Hodgson Brown, from her book ‘Web of Debt’

Interest charges are estimated to compose half the cost of everything. If interest to financial middlemen were eliminated, loans would merely be advances against future production, which could be repaid from that production. Borrowing nations would have to repay the money on a regular payment schedule, just as they do now; and they could not borrow more after a certain ceiling had been reached until old debts had been repaid. But without the burden of compound interest, they should be able to repay their loans from goods and services produced – rents from housing, fees charged for publicly developed energy and transportation, and so forth. – Ellen Hodgson Brown, from her book ‘Web of Debt’ and one example of how a world currency might be possible/used

Eugene Debs – excerpt from a speech on June 16, 1918 in Ohio.

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 16:03:47 +0000

I never had much faith in leaders. I am willing to be charged with almost anything, rather than to be charged with being a leader. I am suspicious of leaders, and especially of the intellectual variety. Give me the rank and file every day in the week. If you go to the city of Washington, and you examine the pages of the Congressional Directory, you will find that almost all of those corporation lawyers and cowardly politicians, members of Congress, and misrepresentatives of the masses — you will find that almost all of them claim, in glowing terms, that they have risen from the ranks to places of eminence and distinction. I am very glad I cannot make that claim for myself. I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks. – Eugene Debs on June 16th 1918

Meron Benvenisti quote regards hypocracy two state solution Israel Palestine

admin — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 15:11:51 +0000

Since it is impossible to refrain from reacting to the Palestinian demand for self-determination in the occupied territories, the Israelis seek to limit it to a mere quarter of them, those who live in the West Bank. For them they have invented a unique concept of a “state”: Its “sovereignty” will be scattered, lacking any cohesive physical infrastructure, with no direct connection to the outside world, and limited to the height of its residential buildings and the depth of its graves.

The airspace and the water resources will remain under Israeli control. Helicopter patrols, the airwaves, the hands on the water pumps and the electrical switches, the registration of residents and the issue of identity cards, as well as passes to enter and leave, will all be controlled (directly or indirectly) by the Israelis. This ridiculous caricature of a Palestinian state, beheaded and with no feet, future, or any chance for development, is presented as fulfillment of the goal of symmetry and equality embodied in the old slogan, “two states for two peoples.” It is endorsed – even by supporters of Greater Israel – and the traditional peace camp rejoices in its triumph.
