IMF - They Call It Democracy

“It’s not hard to bring out the worst in large numbers of citizens by constantly pressing their buttons; fear, hate, greed, false pride and blind loyalty are the main emotions used to manipulate people so much these last years. Reversing this process and empowering people through courage, love, generosity, humility and critical thinking is harder but it can and must be done.” -- Coleen Rowley for RootsAction; FBI whistle blower

What is what and who is who and who cares what if who is not, said the reflection to the shadow.

A Signatory — or not?
Nations that enlist as signatories to uphold and abide by the International Court of Justice but then decline to support and follow judgements and arrest warrants issued by the Court should be expelled as signatories without exception.


A Word of Advice to those who need to hear.
If you have not studied the world history of humanity with an unbiased view then you will not know that past civilisations that collapsed did so because they were:

  • invaded by an aggressive force

or

  • they lacked empathy and compassion

    Civilisation as we know it today now stands on the brink.

Vale Barry Pearton: Founder, Editor, Asia Today International

In the early 1980s, after witnessing opportunities in Asia, Barry Pearton saw a clear gap in Australia's media market. Without nothing but optimism, courage and a kitchen table as his office, he founded Asia Today International.

With his wife, Florence as the editor, Barry brought news on the economic development of Asia to Corporate Australia, at a time when news on Asia was mainly event-driven and negative. Th

TMC criticises Anubrata Mondal for using 'abusive language' in call with police officer; leader issues apology

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], May 30 (ANI): The Trinamool Congress (TMC) on Friday distanced itself from party leader Anubrata Mondal's alleged use of abusive language during a phone call with a police officer and condemned the remarks as 'unacceptable', directing him to issue an apology.

An audio clip of the conversation recently went viral on social media, prompting Birbhum police to file an FIR against Monda

How seaweed is a powerful, yet surprising, climate solution

Picture a place at the centre of a global seaweed revolution. I'll bet the small English seaside town of Paignton in south Devon is not what comes to mind. A decade ago, I moved from the edge of Dartmoor to the coast. It was about a simple change in work-life balance, but what followed was more surprising.

The kids were four and seven. I'd always tried to inspire them with my scientific research. Moving to Paign

One lawsuit just helped melt the fossil fuel industry's defence against being held accountable for climate change

There was a time when oil and gas companies happily linked themselves to the idea of planet-wide environmental changes. "Each day Humble supplies enough energy to melt 7 million tons of glacier!" boasts the headline from a 1962 double-page spread in Life magazine for Humble Oil, now part of ExxonMobil.

Veterans' protests planned for D-Day latest in nearly 250 years of fighting for their benefits

Veterans across the United States will gather on June 6, 2025, to protest the Trump administration's cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs, as well as the slashing of staff and programs throughout the government. Veteran-led protests will be held at the National Mall, 16 state c

Neurosymbolic AI is the answer to large language models' inability to stop hallucinating

The main problem with big tech's experiment with artificial intelligence (AI) is not that it could take over humanity. It's that large language models (LLMs) like Open AI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini and Meta's Llama continue to get things wrong, and the problem is intractable.

Known as hallucinations, the most prominent example was perhaps the case of US law professor Jonathan Turley, who was Coffee can interfere with your medication - here's what you need to know

For many of us, the day doesn't start until we've had our first cup of coffee. It's comforting, energising, and one of the most widely consumed beverages in the world. But while your morning brew might feel harmless, it can interact with certain medicines in ways that reduce their effectiveness - or increase the risk of side-effects.

Soaring rice prices are stirring political trouble in Japan - history shows this often leads to a change of government

Japan's agriculture minister, Taku Et, resigned on May 21 just six months into his term, following a public backlash to his joke that he never buys rice because supporters give it to him for free.

Gaffes are by no means uncommon in Japanese politics. Controversial remarks by one former prime minister, Tar As, were routinely Reform's threat to the mainstream parties is unique in UK political history

Labour's former shadow chancellor John McDonnell has declared that Keir Starmer's government has driven "a knife into the heart of what I believed Labour stood for" and called for party members, unions and MPs to take back control.

The text was McDonnell's, but the pretext was Nigel Fara

Prime numbers, the building blocks of mathematics, have fascinated for centuries - now technology is revolutionizing the search for them

A shard of smooth bone etched with irregular marks dating back 20,000 years puzzled archaeologists until they noticed something unique - the etchings, lines like tally marks, may have represented prime numbers. Similarly, a clay tablet from 1800 B.C.E. inscribed

Detroit's population grew in 2023, 2024 - a strategy to welcome immigrants helps explain the turnaround from decades of population decline

Detroit's population grew in 2024 for the second year in a row. This is a remarkable comeback after decades of population decline in the Motor City.

What explains the turnaround? One factor may be

If it looks like a dire wolf, is it a dire wolf? How to define a species is a scientific and philosophical question

About 1 in 4 U.S. children - nearly 19 million - have at least one parent with substance use disorder. This includes parents who misuse alcohol, marijuana, prescription opioids or illegal drugs. Our estimate reflects an increase of over 2 million children since 2020 and an increase of 10 million from an earlier estimate using data from 2009 to 2014.

Those are the key findings from a new study my colleagues and I

Hurricane season is here, but FEMA's policy change could leave low-income areas less protected

When powerful storms hit your city, which neighborhoods are most likely to flood? In many cities, they're typically low-income areas. They may have poor drainage, or they lack protections such as seawalls.

New Orleans' Solar arrays help boost Colorado grassland productivity in dry years

Grasses growing in the shade of a solar array were only a little less productive than those growing nearby in open grassland during years of average and above-average rainfall - but in a dry year, the shaded plants grew much better than those growing in full sun. That's the result of a four-year study we conducted in a semi-arid grassland of northern Colorado.

"Each man must for himself alone decide what is right and what is wrong, which course is patriotic and which isn't. You cannot shirk this and be a man. To decide against your conviction is to be an unqualified and excusable traitor, both to yourself and to your country, let men label you as they may."
- Mark Twain

Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.”
John Milton

                                                     Origins of Poverty
When man came on earth he did not live in a society or hierarchy nor was he endowed with poverty. Good health, longevity, natural cheerfulness were his own even as he found himself amidst plenty. Like other species he lived or perished as the external resources permitted but he lived or perished as a group. Only when the society organised itself into a hierarchy, it was possible for one layer to exist while another persisted during times of scarcity. Organised ways of living, knowledge of all descriptions, systems created for comfort etc. interfered with the natural living of MAN in hundreds of ways. With the passing of time these stratifications of society come to stay and even create a psychology by which even the victim takes his victimization for granted. No question arises in his mind. ...

Had not the society organised itself in such a way that segments of it are protected and other segments were defenseless, MAN would have remained as MAN and would not have been bifurcated into poor and rich.

“Man was always destroying things, and beautiful things.
At the time they wouldn’t seem beautiful.
It was only afterwards that men felt pity for the things their hands had destroyed.”
