The human species, led by white Europeans and Euro-Americans, has been on a 500-year-long planetwide rampage of conquering, plundering, looting, exploiting and polluting the Earth-as well as killing the indigenous communities that stood in the way. But the game is up. The technical and scientific forces that created a life of unparalleled luxury-as well as unrivaled military and economic power-for the industrial elites are the forces that now doom us.

9/11: The Mysterious Collapse of WTC Building 7 was Not An Inside Job
People who state that 9/11 was an inside job are claiming that it is a false flag operation which killed people, was used to justify wars in Iraq and elsewhere and a power grab in the U.S. But World Trade Center building 7 – the third building to collapse on September 11th – has nothing to do with any inside job.

Microsoft reading your mind!

Clockwise or counterclockwise?
OK, it’s Eid holiday, so this is not politics-related, but it is a cool way to find out if you are a right-brain or left-brain dominant. Look at the dancer and decide which way she’s spinning. Focus! If you think she’s going clockwise, you’re apparently right-brain dominant (imaginative, philosophical, touchy-feely, impetuous); if you see her [...]

Ras Al Khaimah Spaceport
Few days ago, the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah has announced the creation of RAK Airways, the UAE’s fourth national carrier which will start operations by the end of 2006. I thought, what the heck?

MENA ‘ideal for solar power’
The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) could gain from a growing solar power industry if they provide financial and political frameworks to lure investment. The report says that in 20 years, solar power could provide the same amount of electricity as 72 coal-fired power stations. This is enough to supply 100 million people, or [...]
Game Theory
An American and an Israeli won the 2005 Nobel prize for economics on Monday for their work on “game theory,” which can help explain and resolve trade and business conflicts, and even play a role in avoiding war… Interesting.
