the unbalanced evolution of homo sapiens

Η φασιστική επίθεση στο Γιάννη Μπουτάρη, ήταν μια πρώτης τάξεως ευκαιρία για το «μετώπο της λογικής» και της «αριστείας». Στις μέρες που ακολούθησαν, μετά το Σάββατο, η «θεωρία των δύο άκρων», οι «αγανακτισμένοι» και η συλλογική ευθύνη, είχαν επανέλθει μεθοδευμένα στη δημόσια συζήτηση, από ΝΔ-ΚΙΝΑΛ και τους «μπαχαλάκηδες» της ενημέρωσης. Αποκορύφωμα, η χθεσινή δήλωση του Παύλου Τσίμα. του Κωνσταντίνου Ταχσίδη " Δηλαδή, αν γιαουρτώνουμε τον Πάγκαλο είναι καλό, ενώ αν μαχαιρώνουμε τον Φύσσα είναι κακό; Η βία είναι βία "... Παύλος Τσίμας, 21/5/2018, ΣΚΑΙ. Ίσως είναι αδύνατο να συλλάβει κάποιος το επίτευγμα του Παύλου Τσίμα, αλλά χθες το βράδυ ξεπέρασε ακόμα και τον πιο βρώμικο, προπαγανδιστικό εαυτό του καναλιού στο οποίο εργάζεται. Εξίσωσε το «γιαούρτωμα» ενός πολιτικού που επανειλημμένα έχει προσβάλει το κοινωνικό σύνολο (όχι τους πλούσιους φυσικά, την "πλέμπα") με το μαχαίρωμα και τη δολοφονία ενός αντιφασίστα μουσικού από μέλη της ε

"It is a reprisal for having democratically defeated the coup, boycott against President Nicolás Maduro," Bolivia's president reiterated. Bolivian President Evo Morales has rejected a new round of sanctions imposed on Venezuela by the United States' after Nicolas Maduro was re-elected as the country's president Sunday. " We condemn the unilateral decision that imposes a new economic blockade to suffocate the Venezuelan people, in retaliation for having defeated the coup, boycott against President Nicolas Maduro democratically. Trump must understand that the world is not his estate, " Morales said in a tweet posted late Monday. The U.S. along with its right-wing European and Latin American allies have repeatedly called Venezuela's elections a 'sham' before and after Maduro won at the polls. Morales' remarks come after he congratulated Maduro on his re-election, and praised it as a victory against f

Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno has made no secret of his annoyance with the man he refers to a “hacker,” calling Assange “a stone in his shoe” as Ecuador seeks to restructure itself as a trusted ally of the United States. by Elliott Gabriel Part 1 For all practical purposes, whistleblower and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is now a prisoner in asylum at the Embassy of Ecuador in London, facing the torture of near-total isolation from the outside world and hanging by the thread of the Andean state’s dwindling hospitality. On Thursday, the Australian – who, strangely enough, was given Ecuadorian citizenship last December – faced a new layer of precariousness atop his six-year refuge, when Ecuadorean President Lenin Moreno ordered that additional security assigned to the building be withdrawn. According to Ecuador’s government, the London Embassy will now have the same level of security enjoyed by the other ambassadorial facilities the Andean nation maintains t

"The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum." – Noam Chomsky By Manmeet Sahni Part 4 - Fractured Opposition In December 2017, pro-opposition think tank Atlantic Council received US$1million from the U.S. State Department to work with Venezuela's "fractured opposition." According to the Miami Herald, the funds will help finance a year-long project to " draw more international attention to the crisis, show the public what Venezuela could look like under new leadership, and provide the opposition and other stakeholders the tools needed to work more cohesively together. " Jason Marczak, director of the Atlantic Council's Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center, told the Miami Herald: " What we're trying to do is address the fractures within the opposition. That is then helpful for the opposition's overall sta

Ecuador’s president, Lenín Moreno, shook up his cabinet and appointed six new ministers this week. The move appears to confirm what many of his critics on the Left have long suspected, which is that Moreno is moving the country increasingly towards the Right. That is, they say he is reversing the policies under the previous government, Rafael Correa, who pursued a fairly progressive agenda, particularly in foreign and economic affairs. For example, President Moreno’s new Minister of the Economy, Richard Martinez, comes directly from the country’s business class, where he worked as a consultant for the Chamber of Industry and Production, and he also was president of Ecuador’s Business Committee, which is the country’s main business association. globinfo freexchange Greg Wilpert of the Real News spoke with Guillaume Long, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ecuador under former President Rafael Correa, about the rapid turn of the new Ecuadorian administratio
