pickinjava
by pickinjava  2-24-2008   
 Replacing 'old food' (fossil fuels) with 'new food' as resource for overheated industry is not an answer to human sustainability.

POPSReview of Spong Jesus for the non-Religious
pickinjava
by pickinjava  2-9-2008    2
 Somewhat too much 'God worship' language, but it contributes to a more sympathetic understanding of the most constructive messages of the Jesus myth, especially sacrifice for community.

POPSOxfam And the Role IMF in Low-Income Countries (part 1)
pickinjava
by pickinjava  1-5-2008   
 Oxfam is rightly a controversial NGO. Radical? Or front for neoliberal multilateral economic organizations?

POPSAfrica rejects EU Economic Partership Agreement
pickinjava
by pickinjava  1-4-2008   
 The Europeans cannot be happy about this upsurge of 'democratic, affirmative action'. Elite in Europe and the U.S. typically want upsurges of election-based 'democracy' hitched to economic dependency and stagnation.

POPSTings Dey Happen - Theatre Production on Niger Delta and Oil

POPSRobert Kaplan on Africom
pickinjava
by pickinjava  11-25-2007   
 One of the more extreme, and often more honest, commentators on corporate U.S. policy. Keep U.S. blood out of the media (perhaps have Ethiopian soldiers do the dirty work instead) and the occupation can last longer.

POPSChevron Statement on Human Rights
pickinjava
by pickinjava  11-24-2007   
 How nice these words sound. . . Note when this was updated, during the Burmese military crackdown. Chevron still has a stake in Burma oil. Note also other articles on Chevron and corruption in Nigeria.

POPSOil, Environment and Crisis Economics
pickinjava
by pickinjava  11-10-2007   
 Three items of particular interest. First, multinational corporations are not separate from less-industrialised states. They are symbiotic. Second, resources need not be a 'curse'. It is how they are used. Third, multinational corporations sometimes benefit from political instability.

POPSSecond Coup in Pakistan; But He's the U.S.'s SOB
pickinjava
by pickinjava  11-6-2007    2
 U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt reportedly once said "He may be an SOB, but he's our SOB." Remember, though, that Saddam, Osama, Mobutu, Savimbi and many others were U.S. SOBs as well. Play with fire; get burnt.

POPS New Study Reveals Cause Marketing an Effective Business Investment
pickinjava
by pickinjava  10-28-2007   
 The danger of having corporations in charge of social policy. If corporations can drive 'shareholder awareness' then maybe they don't have to spend as much money on 'causes'. People care about 'causes' because they are aware of them. For corporations, this is a marketing rather than moral issue.
