The Lorax series on the Scarcity Wars – 1. Sand

By Gerry Georgatos - courtesy of The Stringer - http://thestringer.com.au/ - May 18th, 2014
Human greed is ravaging the earth, wiping out billions and millions of years-old-management systems, making extinct millions of species, forever changing the world’s landscape. Rapacious greed for the urbanisation of the planet is unsettling the earth to the point that alarmists have justification in arguing a future tumult of scarcity wars, never-before-seen ‘natural’ disasters, civil strife and the loss of human life not just in the millions but in the billions.

Be prepared for ruin when blowing the whistle on corruption.

Some of these names – of whistleblowers – will mean little to you, they may not ring any bells, because the mainstream press in general has failed to adequately highlight corrupt transgressions and their transgressors and in the sustained ways that true journalism should chase down the justice.

For all our kids

By Bill Shorten

Today I spoke in the Australian Parliament on the need for real action on climate Change.

There is no doubt that our earth is warming and our seas rising – or that humankind is the cause.

And if we do not act, the consequences will be severe.

Governments of the world, both progressive and conservative, are making their choice clear.

Today, 39 national and 23 sub-national jurisdictions have implemented or are on track to implement carbon pricing instruments, including emissions trading schemes.

Nasty Side Effects of Money [ audio ]

"Profitism" has replaced "Capitalism" since only debt remains as capital, requiring profit as the scarcest of all commodities. Over 300 years of conditioning societies has produced confusion of effects and their real cause.

Stop the Peruvian Chainsaw Massacre

Palm oil companies have staked claims to 100,000 hectares of rainforest (photo: NASA)

Dear friends of the rainforests,

Satellite images document the ugly truth: while Peru's President Humala and his government wrap themselves in a green mantle, the palm oil industry is staking claims to vast swathes of Peruvian rainforest. How can the environment minister of Peru preside over the next UN Climate Summit while actively promoting the rampant deforestation of his own country? Help us call him out on his hypocrisy!

Blown away by Low Income Super Contribution response

Wow.

Yesterday we put out the call to thank senators and MPs who are standing with workers against Tony Abbott's plan to abolish the Low Income Super Contribution. In just 24 hours over 1600 of you have sent thank you notes. That is more than one thank you note a minute!

We are blown away by this response. Our Australian Unions community is incredible.

I will be in Canberra on Tuesday to hand deliver the thank you notes and turning up with a giant stack of letters will send a powerful message that it is in politicians' interests to stand with workers.

Nuclear and climate news - Australia and beyond - by Christina Macpherson

AUSTRALIA

Nuclear waste dump. It has all gone very quiet, but machinations continue, regarding the proposed site. It is unlikely that the sound option of storing Lucas Heights nuclear waste at Lucas Heights will be chosen. Interestingly, however, this is the option suggested by the two most ardent pro nuclear publicists for Australia Ben Heard & Barry W. Brook. (That’s part of their campaign to reassure Australian s that the nuclear industry is so benign)

Aborigines win their marathon battle against nuclear waste dumping

Well, for a few weeks, the Australian media has been happily occupied titillating us all with matters legal – the court cases of Oscar Pistorius and of Rolf Harris.
Meanwhile barely noted by the media, a 7 year legal battle was won this week - one that has far more significance for all Australians. And especially for indigenous Australians.
