POPSBolivia to 'End Dependence' on Foreign Seed Firms It is home to thousands of native food crops, including potato and corn. They have no doubt watched with interest how companies like monsanto have behaved in other parts of the world, and are free(ish) from corporate pressure or the IMF...

POPSConductor Daniel Barenboim holds 'Peace Concert" The 'Orchestra for Gaza' includes musicians from five leading European orchestras, including Berlin and Vienna philharmonics. May it be only one of many positive things to begin crossing the border from Egypt...

POPSZogby ~ Secular Spiritualism the 'New American Dream' Rejecting traditional materialism, the under 30's are global citizens who no longer believe that 'he who dies with the most toys wins'... A growing movement choosing lower wages and feelgood factor over higher wages and the stress of competing in a race that creates only losers (who find out sooner or later that material possessions do not equal happiness, and leave a trail of environmental destruction from all directions). I cant help hoping that America can regain its place as a world leader now it finally seems to be coming to its senses....

POPSBritish Fuel Duty Scam - 'Fair Fuel Stabiliser' Pump price of fuel pinned at 1p below the highest ever price - even if oil prices fall from their present artificial high . A very 'clever' move by a govt that obviously believes in the 'stupidity' of its population - or the effectiveness of its flouridation program.. This also tells me that the UK govt do not believe that the price of oil will rise substantially further, adding credibility to the reports of ambiotic oil being created under the earths crust in huge quantities...

POPSUS being Sued over Syphillis Tests 'Prisoners cheaper than chimps' - and orphans and psychiatric patients, all over again... After several decades of flouridated water, they are now using the general population - with not much more than a whimper of discontent... If, in decades to come, there are class action lawsuits against present day atrocities. those in power now wont have to pay for it...

POPS"Arabs seek Better Life, not Democracy" So says a key Middle Eastern business figure ~ maybe he's right, if they've seen what western style democracy is really like - a choice between two or maybe three big political parties that are funded by vested interests.. Also compared to a dictatorship they are inherently unstable, and often no less corrupt.. Not that I would want a dictator, unless he/she was being benevolent and wise, and above the influence of corporate or capital concerns, working towards a vision of approaching paradise as a long-term future for all - instead of short term re-election... Our addiction to parliamentary democracy is preventing truer forms of democracy from shaping the destiny of mankind at this crucial time in the development of our civilisation - representatives were needed when the vast majority were uneducated and uninformed in national matters - now it is the politicians that are out of touch...

POPSFood Sovereignty declared by Maine town An end to the tyranny of the FDA !!! There is a way forward, just as the darkness of corporate evil seems poised to sweep across the land - individual towns are finding they have the power to create their own legislation that is higher than federal law... Another tactic is stripping corporations of their 'personhood', which is a powerful weapon against the takeover of local resources such as water.. see http://www.celdf.org/ Courageous towns are also giving constitutional rights to nature and the environment, not merely as pieces of 'property'... If this isnt the way forward, I dont know what is!!!!

POPSThe Truth about 'Germs' They can be friendly until we poison them with toxins and acidity that create a bad cellular environment... Even Pasteur admitted on his deathbed that the 'germ was nothing, the inner terrain was all....' Not much good for selling medicine, so kept under wraps, surprise surprise.....

POPSEco-farming can Double Food Production - UN Report The writing is on the wall - but will legislators take their noses out of the trough long enough to read it, never mind act on it... Maybe, as corporations are stripped of their 'personhood' (currently in progress as town after town across the USA re-write bye-laws), there will be less of the corporate lobbying that is driving the suicidal agro-policies that sustain profits, not people...

POPSUS Vetoes UN Resolution Condemning Israeli Settlements You cant expect a bully-boy to disobey its master, can you? While Obama jerks on the puppet-strings of the age-old masters of the world, the embers of ancient fires are fanned into flames as the arab world catches fire... I.M.H.O. when the muslim bros have gathered themselves into a big enough threat, the israelis will be justified in turning the whole of the middle east into 'occupied territories', with a little help from bully-boy, of course... (Something had to be done before the arabs get too well tooled up, not to mention iran...!) WIll China get involved? Nooo! They'll just wait until the 'christians and muslims' weaken each other to the point that they shouldnt have too much difficulty taking over the whole show... I.M.H.O.
