Arundhati Roy: Things that Can’t be Said, Tamed Tigers & the Missionaries of the “New Economy”
Do "the things we can't talk about in a civilised society, if you're a good, domesticated house pet" include discussing the role of appointed "leaders" within the non-profit industrial complex, who ultimately serve to protect both capital and state? We have found that this is a critical issue that no one with far reach on "the left" will touch (Hedges, Pilger, etc.).
Nuking the Future
"Nuclear power — as part of an energy investment portfolio that includes coal, oil and gas — is attractive to Wall Street investors because it is taxpayer-insured, guaranteeing a profit, even as mining reclamation and waste disposal remain disasters with no solution in sight."
COP21 Gets A Spark Of Nuclear Energy From Breakthrough Energy Coalition
"The Intertubes have been buzzing with news of the Breakthrough Energy Coalition, the latest venture by US billionaire and Microsoft founder Bill Gates... If your definition of clean energy includes nuclear energy, then you have a lot to cheer about because that seems to be a main focus of the Breakthrough Energy Coalition’s interest."

Marching for Monsanto
"Championed by the UN and transnational corporations like Monsanto, this globalized ‘new economy‘ — hyped by Social Capitalists like World Wildlife Fund and 350 — is integral to Sustaining Privatization. The usurping of civil society by these Wall Street-funded NGOs means the annihilation of civil liberties is just A Click Away."

Burundi: L’ingérence de Washington et de l’UE ne sont pas inévitables
"Shinduje est un ami de longue date de Samantha Power, actuellement l’ambassadrice états-unienne au Conseil de Sécurité. En effet, en 2001 il a mis sur pied, avec Samantha Power qui en a été la co-fondatrice, la Radio Publique Africaine. La RPA a obtenu très vite un accord de partenariat avec la Voix de l’Amérique, la radio officielle internationale de Washington."

KXL Rejection: The Real Story
"The tribes that kept KXL out of their territories are understandably pleased by the momentary suspension of that pipeline project. This editorial does not diminish their ‘victory’, but rather tempers the euphoria around the KXL rejection with a dose of reality. To not do so only sets up the naive to be hoodwinked again."

Pennies From Heaven
"The happy state of affairs didn’t survive the war with Sparta. The government of Athens fell into the grasp of an oligarchy afflicted with the disease diagnosed by the ancient Greeks as pleonexia, the pathological craving for more—more property, more publicity, more bling. Athens divided into a city of the poor and a city of the rich, one at war with the other and neither inclined to temper its bitterness in the interest of the common good."

The Nonprofit Industrial Complex’s Role in Imposing Neoliberalism on Public Education
"Educating ourselves in critical theory, and joining organizations that allow us to collectively resist both neoliberalism and the Non-Profit Industrial Complex, are powerful ways that we can refuse to accept history as determinism."
