Mind tricks are pow­er­ful — not only in pol­i­tics, eco­nom­ics or gen­eral media pro­pa­ganda but also in sports. Today I tried out a new mind trick or men­tal strat­egy to win bad­minton games against some of my reg­u­lar tougher com­peti­tors […]

Crony cap­i­tal­ism is a term describ­ing an econ­omy in which suc­cess in busi­ness depends on close rela­tion­ships between busi­ness peo­ple and gov­ern­ment offi­cials. It may be exhib­ited by favouritism in the dis­tri­b­u­tion of legal per­mits, gov­ern­ment grants, spe­cial tax breaks, […]

I am very impressed with the super effec­tive activism of the AVAAZ (mean­ing "Voice") cam­paign net­work. They take on var­i­ous crimes that threaten democ­racy, peace or the envi­ron­ment. It is easy to sup­port them — just go to www.AVAAZ.org. Effec­tive […]

The human species has always loved pro­duc­ing things. It loved it so much that it pro­duced things to last only a short time so they could keep pro­duc­ing even more things every year. To fur­ther advance the earthling's pas­sion for […]

Elec­tronic vot­ing machines have the poten­tial to destroy any democ­racy quickly and silently. By hand­ing over the power of the peo­ple to the hands of a few cor­po­rate or gov­ern­men­tal insid­ers the poten­tial for fraud is obvi­ously enor­mous. Imag­ine a […]

As expected, the ongo­ing and increas­ing anti Wall-Street demon­stra­tions — the anti cor­po­ratism demon­stra­tions also known as "Occupy Wall Street (OWS)" in New York and Boston, remain largely ignored by the main­stream (= cor­po­rate) media in the USA. Even if […]

Why fight cor­po­ratism?   Cor­po­ratism is the orga­ni­za­tion of a soci­ety into  cor­po­ra­tions serv­ing as organs of polit­i­cal rep­re­sen­ta­tion and exer­cis­ing con­trol over per­sons and activ­i­ties. Miriam Web­ster Dic­tio­nary or The first stage of Fas­cism should more appro­pri­ately be called […]

Below is the encour­ag­ing result of a sim­u­la­tion for mutual debt can­cel­la­tion in Europe. How­ever, I admit it, I don't think mutual debt can­cel­la­tion to achieve debt reduc­tion could avoid a gigan­tic eco­nomic col­lapse in Europe or any­where longterm. I […]

When I talk about pres­i­den­tial can­di­date Ron Paul I keep hear­ing he wants to get back to the gold stan­dard or legal­ize mar­i­juana and sim­i­lar lies spread by the cor­po­rate media about his polit­i­cal posi­tions. As most of the  main­stream […]

It has been over four years now that one of the biggest cities in the west­ern world has banned any form of out­door adver­tis­ing: Sao Paulo de Brazil. Bill­boards, out­door video screens and ads on buses and taxis as well […]

It's unbe­liev­able. We are fac­ing a seri­ous global cri­sis (global fiat money sys­tem col­laps­ing, resource and energy short­ages,..) and all our  coun­tries' lead­ers care about is to get us back to the self-destructive high-consumption mode that is actu­ally caus­ing all […]

Here are 5 more video doc­u­men­taries which I found very inter­est­ing and very much worth watch­ing for those who car about the human species.. "Zeit­geist: Adden­dum" ..is a free 2008 sequel  to the well known doc­u­men­tary "Zeit­geist" by Peter Joseph. […]
