Introducing a website devoted to creating a virtual world order to serve human needs and sustain all life.
Zbigniew Brzezinski: How Jimmy Carter and I Started the Mujahideen
This is a document to support my view expressed in Thursdays post re the interview with Brzezinski in which he down-played a major role in organizing a terrorist group, the Mujahideen (later to become al Qaeda), to use against the Soviet Union back in the 1980s. This is an example of The Great Games that ruling elites love to play (and later try to cover up), and result in terrible crimes against humanity that continue for many years into the future.

Britain: Number of armed forces' veterans in jail 'on the rise'

Britain: Of course class still matters – it influences everything that we do
From The Observer. It is about the almost instinctive sense of fairness versus class privileges created by the capitalist system. This applies to all class structured countries, but the British are talking about it.
Bilderbergs of the World Unite!
By William Bowles, from Global Research website. A must-read article--it contains more fundamental realities about the world we live in than any other article I've posted up to now.
Arrayed against us, the people, is a vast apparatus of control and manipulation that embraces governmental, ‘non’-governmental, private foundations, the media, state and corporate, ‘entertainment’ in all it’s wondrous forms, think tanks, institutes, foundations, academia, formal and informal bodies, both national and transnational, associations, ngos and ‘ngos’, charities and ‘charities’, all of which are heavily subsidized by the state and / or corporations. Who needs ‘The Illuminati’ when we have all this arrayed against us?
Brazil: Solidarity Economy Thriving
From IPS news service.
The movement in Brazil differs from those of other countries, because it combines three dimensions, said FBES executive secretary Daniel Tygel. Besides the economic aspect, which comprises self-management and the creation of cooperatives and networks, it includes a cultural dimension, related to consumption, gender relations and areas like free software, as well as a policy of social transformation.
In the long term, "we want to change the model of production and the direction of development, towards a model that is not harmful to life," said Tygel.
