Pourquoi la fondation Gates finance Total, Coca et McDo Où les bons samaritains placent-ils leur argent ? Chez McDo, BP, Coca-Cola, Exxon Mobil et même dans une société de prisons privées. C’est ce qu’ont découvert les journalistes du magazine américain Mother Jones en épluchant la déclaration fiscale 2012 (en pdf) de la fondation Bill et Melinda Gates. Officiellement, les 36 milliards de dollars (26,24 milliards d’euros) de cet empire aussi riche que l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) sont censés « lutter contre la faim et l’extrême pauvreté ». Dans le détail, 3 milliards (2,7 milliards d’euros) vont aux géants du fast-food et des boissons gazeuses. Sylvain Lefèvre est chercheur à la chaire de responsabilité sociale et de développement durable de l’université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). Terra eco : Pour une fondation qui dit œuvrer pour la santé, investir 2,2 milliards de dollars (1,5 milliard d’euros) dans l’entreprise McDonald’s, c’est normal ? Sylvain Lefèvre : Ce n’est pas vraiment surprenant. C’est déjà arrivé.
The hunting of America….another treasonous Act Marti Oakley (c)copyright 2011 All Rights Reserved Who could imagine this day would come? Obviously, the Pentagon, the Bush Administration not only imagined it, but put it in motion. Our own government in collusion with the military are openly moving against the people of the United States. It is more than apparent we ARE the ENEMY so feared by those in power. The continual threats of an attack perpetrated by some vague enemy they either cannot identify or will not indentify are overshadowed by the presence of our own military on our streets fully engaged in preparation for attacking us. But don’t forget: In 2008, General Renault of the Air Force signed that agreement of treason with the Canadians called the Civil Assistance Plan. Border Perimeter and Security Act between US and Canada In what is being sold as heightened security for both Canada and the US, the Border Perimeter Security Act was embedded in the Obama Jobs bill. “WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Stephen Harper and U.S.
Entretien avec Olivier Berruyer : La fin d'un monde Who Runs the World ? – Network Analysis Reveals ‘Super Entity’ of Global Corporate Control Business Published on August 28th, 2011 | by Michael Ricciardi In the first such analysis ever conducted, Swiss economic researchers have conducted a global network analysis of the most powerful transnational corporations (TNCs). Their results have revealed a core of 737 firms with control of 80% of this network, and a “super entity” comprised of 147 corporations that have a controlling interest in 40% of the network’s TNCs. Strongly Connected Component (SCC); layout of the SCC (1318 nodes and 12,191 links). Node size scales logarithmically with operation revenue, node color with network control (from yellow to red). [Note to the reader: see the very end of this article for a ranking of the top 50 'control holders'] But now we have the results of a global network analysis (Vitali, Glattfelder, Battiston) that, for the first time, lays bare the “architecture” of the global ownership network. What was needed, assert the researchers, was a complex network analysis. and End Notes:

The Covert Origins of World War III – US Special Operations Forces To Be Deployed In 120 Countries By Nick Turse Somewhere on this planet an American commando is carrying out a mission. Now, say that 70 times and you’re done… for the day. Without the knowledge of the American public, a secret force within the U.S. military is undertaking operations in a majority of the world’s countries. This new Pentagon power elite is waging a global war whose size and scope has never been revealed, until now. After a U.S. Last year, Karen DeYoung and Greg Jaffe of the Washington Post reported that U.S. The Rise of the Military’s Secret Military Born of a failed 1980 raid to rescue American hostages in Iran, in which eight U.S. service members died, U.S. One of its key components is the Joint Special Operations Command, or JSOC, a clandestine sub-command whose primary mission is tracking and killing suspected terrorists.

Vandana Shiva : « Le libre-échange, c’est la dictature des entreprises » Basta ! : Les combats que vous menez sont liés à la souveraineté – alimentaire, sur les terres, l’eau, les semences. Qu’est-ce que la souveraineté ? Vandana Shiva : La redéfinition de la notion de « souveraineté » sera le grand défi de l’ère post-globalisation. Pour garantir cette souveraineté, faut-il fermer davantage les frontières ? Aucune frontière n’est jamais totalement fermée. Nous ne disons pas « non au commerce », mais « non au commerce dérégulé ». Le protectionnisme peut-il être une solution face à cette exploitation du vivant, en empêchant les multinationales d’avoir accès à ces ressources qu’elles exploitent ? Tout comme nous devons redéfinir la notion de souveraineté, nous devons repenser la notion de protectionnisme. Cet endettement des paysans est lié à une décision politique particulière : la dérégulation du marché des semences, qui a permis à Monsanto de devenir par exemple l’unique vendeur de semences sur le marché du coton. Il y a deux types de biens communs.
Big Brother knows all about my bunion op - and the fish pie I ate after it: How one woman found out about the intimate information held about her By Claudia Joseph Updated: 14:42 GMT, 14 August 2011 It was a perfectly ordinary summer’s day. On July 29 last year, Angela Lay, a performance management officer at Maldon Council in Essex, got up early and drove the two-and- a-half miles from her home in Heybridge Basin to go shopping in Maldon. She left Tesco at 6.03am, having spent £126.80 on food and earned 60 points on her reward card, returned home and unloaded the silver Renault Megane diesel car she had bought four years earlier. She then caught the train from Witham to London, paying £23 for her ticket from London Eastern. Information overload: Databases contain a staggering amount of detail about Angela Lay's life Afterwards she went shopping, spending £73.95 at H&M in Regent Street and £48.60 at Hamleys. Using her Orange mobile phone, Angela texted her 18-year-old daughter Kathryn, who was on holiday in France, at 3.15pm. She got a second pair free on a special offer. Angela's mobile phone records were easy to obtain

The Looting Of America: The Federal Reserve Made $16 Trillion In Secret Loans To Their Bankster Friends And The Media Is Ignoring The Eye-Popping Corruption That Has Been Uncovered A one-time limited GAO audit of the Federal Reserve that was mandated by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act has uncovered some eye-popping corruption at the Fed and the mainstream media is barely even covering it. It turns out that the Federal Reserve made $16.1 trillion in secret loans to their bankster friends during the financial crisis. You can read a copy of the GAO investigation for yourself right here. These loans only went to the “too big to fail” banks and to foreign financial institutions. Many Americans have a hard time grasping just how large 16.1 trillion dollars is. The Federal Reserve was just creating gigantic piles of cash out of thin air and throwing them around with wild abandon. One of the only members of Congress that has wanted to talk about the GAO audit has been U.S. So precisely who got this money? Well, a recent article on Raw Story named some of the big Wall Street banks that got some of this money…. Nobody did. Of course not. Wow.
UK riots: Iran calls on UN to intervene over 'violent suppression' | UK news Having already offered to send an expert team to investigate human rights abuses amid the riots, the Iranian regime has gone one step further and called on the UN security council to intervene over the British government's handling of the unrest rocking the country. Speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, condemned the British government for its "violent suppression" of the protesters and called for an end to what he described as the "killing and brutal beating" of "the opposition" angry with the government's financial policies. "The real opposition are the people who are beaten up and killed on the streets of London, those whose voices are not heard by anyone," Iran's Irna state news agency quoted Ahmadinejad as saying. The foreign ministry, went so far as to issue a statement advising against any unnecessary travel to the UK. Ahmadinejad criticised the UN security council for remaining silent over the riots in Britain.
Russell Brand Has Some Provocative Thoughts on the U.K. Riots Sometimes, it's a relief to hear from a celebrity who can express himself not just in under 140 characters, but in nearly 1,800 complete words. That's the size of Russell Brand's sprawling new editorial in the Guardian, where the comedian grapples with the questions raised by the U.K. riots, all the while acknowledging, "I don't know enough about politics to ponder a solution and my hands are sticky with blood money from representing corporate interests through film, television and commercials." Still, Brand probes the psyche of the rioters from an unusual place: He's someone who's been there. I should here admit that I have been arrested for criminal damage for my part in anti-capitalist protest earlier in this decade. That was never my cup of tea though. I found those protests exciting, yes, because I was young and a bit of a twerp but also, I suppose, because there was a void in me.
