Origin of Wealth 

We desperately need to start telling ourselves a new story, one that at least fits the known data, and we need to be far more urgent in our preparations for a future that is now upon us. This is not a US or a UK story, but one that applies equally to us all, no matter where we live. It is a global story.
 
Without a functioning economy, all of our technological dreams, hopes, and desires will not come to pass. We will not fetch the last oil from 35,000 feet under the ground, we will not have ceramic batteries in every garage, and we will not seamlessly transition to a new economy.

The government says it is never complicit in torture. It is lying – and Madni’s story proves it...

Nato’s Fire Sale: One Dead Afghan Child, $2,000 MediaLens On January 11, 2010, we sent out a media alert titled, 'Were Afghan children executed by US-led forces? And why aren’t the media interested?’ The alert concerned credible reports that American-led troops had dragged Afghan children from their beds and shot them during a night raid in Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan on December 27 last year. Ten people were killed, including eight schoolboys from one family. We noted that the alleged atrocity had been almost wholly ignored by the corporate media, including the BBC.
