The editor of Mother Jones talks about the importance of independent, for-the-people reporting in a time of corporate-owned media and information. Essential for a united world brotherhood.
I've heard negative comment after negative comment about this video, but here's the deal: that display is the beginning of the people's world. A world where we are a community, working together for each other, sharing positive energy and strength. A lovely and inspiring clip.
A fascinating, thought-provoking, albeit far fetched idea of world takeover by Illuminati-like autocrats. It is always good to be aware of world power movements, as they will only be stopped by the uprising of the people.
This site is a spearhead against the fascist party of England, the BNP. The ultraconservative platform is criticized for its intollerant and racist practices. These groups create dissolution in the world community.
Habitat for Humanity has gone global, and is engineering creative solutions to put the people of the world under a roof. Their programs differ depending on the region.
This is not a credible source, although it offers some interesting looks at unity in diversity. Appears to be influenced by Hinduism. Beyond the "spiritual Oneness" is the underlying idea that we can realize a loving bond with anyone on the planet.
I think the conclusion of this article addresses poverty from a fairly guiltless standpoint, but I feel that the injustices done came from somewhere. The solution they propose, namely "The international community should endeavor-by strengthening the international
financial system, through trade, and through aid-to help the poorest countries integrate into the
world economy...". I do not think this is a creative or viable solution; it just doesn't fit the complexity and multifacetedness of the problem.
The IWW is a long-standing labor union spanning the entire earth, backing hundreds of thousands on their way to fair and equal wages, adequate benefits, and giving a voice to those oppressed by their corporate overlords. The solidarity between group members is an amazing example of human unity beyond borders.
Grameen was one of the corporate entities that we read about in class. Instead of using its capital gains to feed the upper managements' pockets, they redristribute the funds back into the peoples' coffers. This is a REAL, CREATIVE solution to a poverty problem.
Amnesty is a trusted and proven leader in human rights advocacy, and a great watchdog in international affairs. On this particular page, one can donate, learn more, find people who want to make change, and put ideas into action.
Credible, bold look at Chavez's increasingly totalitarian regime, now putting a stranglehold on the media outlets. This bloc could be dangerous in the future in its dealings with North America.
Someone's blog about the threat of World War 3, the nuclear apocolypse, multinational control by banks, and the hope that the people will rise up. Pretty silly towards the end with the taoist stuff, could have done without this to make it more credible.
