From Grist: “As of January, Philadelphia was sending half of the recyclables it collects straight to the incinerator. Minneapolis stopped accepting black plastics. Marysville, Michigan, will no longer accept eight of 11 categories of items (including glass, newspaper, and mixed paper) for curbside recycling, in order to cut costs.

Chemical herbicides. One of the herbicide is Roundup, manufactured by Monsanto, the giant corporation owned by Bayer.

Morale is so low in Afghanistan’s armed forces that its soldiers — once expected to be a bulwark against the Taliban — have been stealing from and brutalizing US-paid local contractors.

At a time when Americans are grappling with climate change, gun violence, voter suppression, and an immigration crisis, many economists — both conservative and progressive — would like to add to that plate of worries: a looming recession.

PARIS/FLAGY, France (Reuters) – En 1789, Louis XVI convoque l’aristocratie, le clergé et les citoyens de France pour discuter des moyens de boucher les finances désastreuses de la Couronne et d’apaiser le mécontentement populaire face à une société féodale sclérosée.

Etienne Chouard vient de publier Notre Cause Commune[1], un livre où, à partir du mouvement des Gilets Jaunes, il fait un procès en règle de la démocratie représentative avec l’apologie du référendum et du tirage au sort. C’est un livre important, et qui choquera certains à gauche, et c’est tant mieux. Mais, ce livre devrait les inciter à réfléchir à ce qu’ils appellent « démocratie ».

The IRS Tried to Take On the Ultrawealthy. It Didn’t Go Well. (Russ)

The authors write, “Most people picture IRS officials as all-knowing and fearsome. But when it comes to understanding how the superwealthy move their money around, IRS auditors historically have been more like high school physics teachers trying to operate the Large Hadron Collider.”

Universal background checks for gun purchases are one of the more popular gun control measures, with 97 percent of the public in favor of them. Acting on this popularity, the Democratic-controlled House passed a bill that would establish them nationally.

Chères lectrices, chers lecteurs,

The Mueller report on the investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election is completed, and while US Attorney General William Barr summarizes that it clears President Donald Trump of collusion, confusion remains around the issue of obstruction of justice.

At this stage, I can finally say something I haven’t felt comfortable saying since November 2016: I think we’ve largely been asking the wrong questions.

Le premier, c'est l'amour de soi. C'est apparemment le plus digne de foi. On y croit tous et sans exception. Et de bonne foi. Il est prétendument sans duplicité. Quand on s'aime soi-même, on n'a pas de faux problème, on se ressource à la source en quelque sorte, on suit le mouvement de la nature. Car l'amour de soi précède l'amour de l'autre. Sans l'un, il ne peut y avoir l'autre. C'est même la condition de possibilité de tout amour. Et si on lui réserve souvent un mauvais accueil, c'est parce qu'il a deux écueils: l'égoïsme et le narcissisme.

The ordinary mind is built on its own “national security” program. It protects itself from intrusions it considers disruptive.

And the biggest of those disruptions are ideas that contain “risk.” What kind of risk? Ideas that take you into a new waking state you’ve never been in before.

The ordinary mind is a shield against this.

The Free Individual Returns from the Dead

by Jon Rappoport

April 6, 2019

Freedom isn’t merely an idea. When an individual feels and knows he is free, all sorts of changes take place, even on a physical level:

Brain function increases and quickens. Endocrine levels optimize. The cells of the body awaken to a higher degree, and energy output rises.

From the point of view of the free individual, things are upside down. It is HIS power that is primary, not the monolithic corporate State’s.

Scientists are constantly working to solve problems, and by far the worst is one the human race itself has created — climate change due to global warming. One company has invented a process to clean the atmosphere of the most important heat-trapping gas, carbon dioxide (CO2), and last week it announced a large funding round that will allow it to commercialize its invention.

Can’t wait to read the entire Mueller Report? Don’t hold your breath. Friday’s decision by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit appears to sharply limit the discretion of judges to order disclosure of any grand jury materials, which might result in a highly redacted public document.

Since the 1960s we’ve come to understand that an expanding global population threatens our quality of life — and, potentially, all life itself. Paul Ehrlich’s 1968 book, The Population Bomb, set the stage for 50 years of doom-laden assumptions about population growth.

Young leaders took to the Capitol on April 4 to urge Congress to act on climate change. The U.S. House of Representatives Select Committee on the Climate Crisis listened as they made their case that now is the time to take action in curbing the climate crisis.

The hearing, titled “Generation Climate: Young Leaders Urge Climate Action Now,” is just one more event in the “Youth v. Government” climate change movement.

Edmund Burke (1729 – 1797) est un homme politique et auteur britannique. Outre son ouvrage sur la Révolution française, qui a assuré sa célébrité posthume, on lui doit notamment un ouvrage de philosophie esthétique.
