Biography of Rupert Sheldrake: Morphic Fields: Paranormal Experiments Done By Science (1994)

"Sir John Maddox,Emeritus Editor of the scientific journal Nature. He was the author of an infamous editorial in Nature in 1981 about my first book, A New Science of Life, in which he wrote "This infuriating tract... is the best candidate for burning there has been for many years." In an interview broadcast on BBC television in 1994, he said: "Sheldrake is putting forward magic instead of science, and that can be condemned in exactly the language that the Pope used to condemn Galileo, and for the same reason. It is heresy."

Quand le FMI fabrique la misère

"Avant les années 80, le Ghana était considéré comme un pays en voie de développement prometteur. La crise économique que connaît le pays va amener une situation locale désastreuse au niveau des services de base.

"Le FMI et la Banque Mondiale proposent des prêts au pays, sous la condition dite d'ajustement structurel. Le pays est contraint de s'impliquer dans le libre échange, en orientant la production interne vers l'or et la cacao plutôt que vers les productions vivrières. L'incitation à la "récupération des coûts" va entraîner la privatisation des services publics de base de soins et d'adduction d'eau. L'implantation d'entreprises étrangères est favorisée grâce une politique fiscale avantageuse et une réglementation peu contraignante, notamment vis à vis de l'environnement.

"La richesse en or de la province du Katanga a attiré l'industrie minière. L'état ghanéen a délocalisé la population locale qui vivait de banane plantin, manioc, huile de palme et arachide. Les paysans on touché une indemnisation ridicule, les manifestants ont été éloignés par la force militaire. L'activité d'extraction a stérilisé les champs alentours : les déblais ont envahi les champs de manioc, la pollution métallique affecte l'air et l'eau. Les rizières sont aujourd'hui en jachère..."

The Corporation

"You'd think that things like disasters, or the purity of childhood, or even milk, let alone water or air, would be sacred. But no. Corporations have no built-in limits on what, who, or how much they can exploit for profit. In the fifteenth century, the enclosure movement began to put fences around public grazing lands so that they might be privately owned and exploited. Today, every molecule on the planet is up for grabs. In a bid to own it all, corporations are patenting animals, plants, even your DNA.

"Around things too precious, vulnerable, sacred or important to the public interest, governments have, in the past, drawn protective boundaries against corporate exploitation. Today, governments are inviting corporations into domains from which they were previously barred."

He Walked by Night (1948)

"When a police officer is gunned down by a man whom he had stopped to question, a city-wide dragnet fails to catch the shooter, leaving the police with only minor clues to go on. Later they discover that the same man has been selling stolen equipment through an electronics dealer, and they set a trap for him. But he shoots his way out of the trap and escapes. The police must piece together a description of the man's appearance and habits from witnesses and a few small clues, as they search untiringly for a dangerous and very resourceful criminal."

Iraq Veteran Speaks Out On War Crimes

"Testimony from a former U.S. Army Ranger

"Jessie Macbeth, a Former Army Ranger and Iraq War Veteran Tells All

"This 20 minute interview will change how you view the U.S. occupation of Iraq forever. I cannot possibly recommend this more highly. An Iraq war veteran tells of atrocities he and other fellow-soldiers committed reguarly while in Iraq. I have never seen this level of honesty from a U.S. soldier who directly participated in the slaughtering of Iraqis.

"Excerpts:

""When we were doing the night raids in the houses, we would pull people out and have them all on their knees and zip-tied. We would ask the man of the house questions. If he didn't answer the way we liked, we would shoot his youngest kid in the head. We would keep going, this was our interrogation. He could be innocent. He could be just an average Joe trying to support his family. If he didn't give us a satisfactory answer, we'd start killing off his family until he told us something. If he didn't know anything, I guess he was SOL."

""For not speaking out, I feel like I'm betraying my battle-buddies that died.""
