Paul Krugman: “Fracking is not a dream come true; solar is now cost-effective”

Nice synchrony with the Tar Sands encirclement of the White House. Thanks to the newyorktimes. Here Comes the Sun November 6, 2011 By PAUL KRUGMAN For decades the story of technology has been dominated, in the popular mind and to a large extent in reality, by computing and the things you can do with it. […]

In case you’re in danger of falling back to sleep . . .

Here’s two pie charts to chew on. The first I knew about. The second I did not. Sure puts it all in perspective.

Tom Engelhardt: “Then, the [police] horses parted like the Red Sea, like a wave of emotion sweeping ahead of us, and the vets marched on triumphantly toward Zuccotti Park . . .”

Recall the permaculture dictum: “the edges are where the action is” (and see this). I still can’t help but sense that in the Occupy movement, the edge between the police and the military is perhaps the most dynamic of them all. Here’s a stirring story about that very edge. Thanks to tomdispatch.com. November 6, 2011 […]

Tar Sands Action: “There’s a deep instinctual sense of intimidation that comes from being completely surrounded, and that might be healthy for our president right now.” — Tim DeChristopher

Tim DeChristopher is the intrepid environmental activist convicted and imprisoned last summer for bidding at a public lands auction in Utah. See this and this and this. My friend Sandy organized the Stop the Keystone XL Action here, and inspired two busloads, 102 people, many of them Indiana University students, to spend their weekend traveling […]

James Corbett: Gaddafi’s assasination shows how the gears of the international “justice” system really work

Having been astonished before by James Corbett’s analyses (see this and this), I tend to take his views seriously. A GRTV backgrounder. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2zDY3jvcp44&feature=player_embedded#!] The Assassination of Gaddafi by grtv The killing of Muammar Gaddafi at the hands of NATO-backed, Al Qaeda-linked forces marks the end of a campaign expressly aimed at the assassination of a […]

Mathew Ward: “Clarity about free will and karma is vitally important, not only because many souls are searching for answers to those kinds of questions, but because understanding the cosmic principles that govern life in this universe is key . . .”

My son Colin loved this month’s transmission from Mathew. Said that after reading it for the first time he was no longer bothered by the question, “How could a loving God cause such suffering?” I can only imagine how huge this recalibration of the cosmos is for him. Also contains wonderful material on what appears […]

Chris Hedges, as he was handcuffed: “Free at last. Free at last. Thank God almighty I am free at last.”

Thanks to TruthDig.com Finding Freedom in Handcuffs November 7, 2011 by Chris Hedges Editor’s note: Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges, an activist, an author and a member of a reporting team that won a 2002 Pulitzer Prize, wrote this article after he was released from custody following his arrest last Thursday. He and about 15 other […]

The first step: switch from growth to steady state economy

This is the primal switch that we need to make: there is no such thing as waste, everything can be recycled; the Earth, and its creatures, are, or can be, self-sustaining. A steady-state economy that utilizes and replenishes finite resources must replace the one addicted to growth and greed which generate excess for the 1%, […]

Life at Liberty Park: Prioritizing what each is most passionate about

Imagine a world, I used to tell my astrological clients, in which everyone followed his or her own unique, irreplaceable nature. Imagine the harmony enveloping the whole, as all beings expressed themselves fully, in concert with each other. Well it’s happening here, as we Occupy ourselves, finally, first. Then, as day follows night, birds of […]

Occupy earth, occupy sky: We star(ling)s swirl as one

The astonishment starts at 00:28. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeA_P3Bn9Yw]

Steve Beckow to President Obama: “It’s impossible for you to pretend that extraterrestrials don’t exist and foolhardy of your government to try.”

Sometime back in May a ET/UFO Disclosure Petition was put up on the White House Petition site and garnered enough signatures to be passed on to the White House. Yesterday, a response was received, in essence saying that there is not yet any evidence that life exists elsewhere in the universe. This strikes me as […]

My season of discontent: the “political” — is personal, is conflicted, is connected, is community

I think it was Bill Moyers who recently said that “the news is what they keep from us, and all the rest is publicity.” Well, that way of talking about news strikes home. I too, have had “news” that I’ve kept from you, all the while writing this blog! And it’s not the first time […]

DO watch this Thom Hartmann video

So refreshing to tune into a conversation about the complexities of how a leaderless group that espouses non-violence — and in fact, knows that it’s strongest “weapon” is non-violence, that if it turns violent it will lose — works with a tiny group that incites violence in its midst. And Thom Hartmann’s take on silent […]

Bank Transfer Day: “Remember, remember, the 5th of November . . .”

Update: Over 4 billion dollars was transfered from Wall Street banks to Main Street credit unions in the past week. November 5th: Guy Fawkes day. Google it. One manifestation of this noosphere that we’ve all begun, whether or not we realize it, to surrender to, is that when we hear about a sensible, responsible action […]

11.11.11: Teilhard’s “noosphere,” that crazy idea of long ago, surges into manifestation

As the energy builds for 11.11.11, I come across more and more information on various ceremonies and group meditations to be held around the world. So wonderful, these focused dates where we practice consciously creating and holding an energetic field of peace, harmony, and deep, deep aliveness and joy. Were Teilhard de Chardin among us […]

Robert Jensen: “We either abandon the domination/subordination dynamic or we don’t survive”

There is a sense that all of us in the Occupy movement recognize the world in the same inchoate way, a way that’s below politics, below issues and policies and dueling points of view. And there is a sense that we are now groping for language to express what we feel, and to invent some […]

Breaking news: Greenhouse gases now “higher than the worst case scenario”

I was looking after something else, and ran across this article, pretty standard these days when shocking events and revelations skud past like rocks from a furious child. It’s hard not to duck and cover, or run away. But we must not. We must stand here, here and everywhere, upon our faithful Earth; we must […]
