  • Happiness is the common goal that includes all others: health, wealth, security, self-reliance, self-sufficiency, inclusion, choice and all others.

    Happiness is the common goal that includes all others: health, wealth, security, self-reliance, self-sufficiency, inclusion, choice and all others. Unhappiness is the common aversion. Absent government, we all have our own mix of happiness and unhappiness. When government gets into the act, it sometimes adds to our unhappiness. This is what happiocracy is about. Reducing Avoidable Unhappiness.

How are those Iranian sanctions working? or Iran's nuclear program just keeps chugging ... - 0 views

    As the Middle East continues to churn, possible out of control, Iran continues on its merry way towards inclusion in the nuclear club! In the article are just two recent examples that highlight the attempt, one in Norway and one involving Zimbabwe. This while the U.N. sanctions and President Obama seem totally incapable or without the desire to do anything about it!

Speech on media propaganda - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com - 0 views

  •  
    The 30-minute speech I gave last month at the Symphony Space in New York is now available on video, and is posted below in three YouTube segments (the first segment also contains the 4-minute introduction of my speech). The speech pertains to the evolution of my views on media criticism, the nature of media propaganda and what drives it, and what can be done to combat it. A DVD of the entire event -- featuring the three other speeches: from Amy Goodman, Noam Chomsky and Michael Moore -- is available at FAIR's website. I want to note one example, from today, that vividly illustrates many of the themes I discussed in that speech.  It is found in the following passage from this Reuters article on Obama's escalation of the covert war in Yemen and his targeting of U.S. citizen Anwar Awlaki for assassination: A U.S. official confirmed to Reuters that a U.S. strike last Friday killed Abu Ali al-Harithi, a midlevel al Qaeda operative, which followed last month's attempted strike against Anwar al-Awlaki, the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Whether Awlaki has any operational role in Al Qaeda at all is a matter of intense controversy.  The U.S. Government has repeatedly asserted that he does, but has presented no verifiable evidence to support that accusation.  But what is not in dispute is the notion that Awlaki is "the leader of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula."  He unquestionably is not, and never has been, as multiple Yemen experts have repeatedly noted.  The Reuters claim is factually and entirely false. Whatever one's views are on Obama's assassination program, targeting U.S. citizens without due process obviously raises extraordinary and vitally important questions.  As The New York Times' Scott Shane put it when confirming Awlaki's inclusion on Obama's hit list: "The Obama administration has taken the extraordinary step of authorizing the targeted killing of an American citizen. . . . It is extremely rare, if not unprecedented, for an America
