(Castellano) Defendiendo a Julian Assange -> Defendiendo la Verdad
Robert Burrowes | Pressenza – TRANSCEND Media Service,
22 Apr 2019
Debido a mi propio interés de larga data en desarrollar estrategias no violentas cuidadosamente diseñadas en nuestra lucha por hacer de nuestro mundo un mundo de paz, justicia y sostenibilidad ecológica, permítame sugerir una forma estratégica de avanzar que honre el coraje de Julian y Chelsea maximizando el impacto de su relato de la verdad en las luchas a más largo plazo que se acaban de mencionar, al tiempo que se toman medidas por separado para ejercer una presión adicional para ayudarles en el corto y mediano plazo.

Howard Richards – TRANSCEND Media Service,
22 Apr 2019
No hay soluciones económicas (es decir, no hay soluciones pro-vida) porque la economía vive y se mueve y tiene su ser dentro del marco del derecho de propiedad y del derecho contractual tal como se lo desarrolló primero en el Imperio Romano, después en los estados sucesores del Imperio Romano durante el período moderno temprano. La ley europea fue impuesta a los habitantes de las Américas, África y Asia por la fuerza. (Consultar Patriarcado y acumulación a escala mundial de María Mies)

What Matters Is Our Consciousness
Radhanath Swami – TRANSCEND Media Service,
22 Apr 2019
The famous writer Paulo Coelho once said, “There is always a gap between our intention and action.” This holds true in our lives. How we present things or in what ways we present is definitely important and critical, but if we deeply analyze the matter, it’s the intention or consciousness behind it that matters.

16 Apr 2019 – Age-old questions of ownership, control, and distribution in our economy remain as important as ever. In fostering the creation of communities and workplaces driven by values of solidarity, cooperation, and justice, workplace democracy and worker ownership are crucial, powerful tools, and they can and should play an important role in the next economic system.

Nonostante enormi sforzi continui per più di un millennio, durante e a partire dalla formazione e plasmazione del mondo moderno, e con il costante aumento delle tematiche contestate, gli attivisti di vario genere hanno fatto progressi insufficienti su punti chiave, particolarmente in relazione al porre fine alla violenza e alla guerra (e alla minaccia della guerra nucleare), al fermare lo sfruttamento di molti popoli e gli infiniti assalti alla biosfera terrestre.

Luis Henrique Beust | Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie – TRANSCEND Media Service,

O presente trabalho busca situar a relevância das ideias de Albert Einstein e de Sigmund Freud sobre a guerra e a paz para os esforços contemporaneos de construção de uma Cultura de Paz. Argumenta-se que suas contribuições são especialmente relevantes para fortalecer a ideia fundamental por trás dos esforços de educação para tal Cultura, qual seja, de que a guerra não é intrínseca à natureza humana, e que, portanto, pode ser eliminada.

Julian Assange: Criminal or Benefactor?
Richard Falk | Global Justice in the 21st Century – TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Apr 2019
14 Apr 2019 – I suppose it is of interest that Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have found something to agree about—the criminal indictment of Julian Assange. Trump is acutely vulnerable to the exposure of truth and Clinton blames her electoral defeat in 2016 partly on what WikiLeaks disclosed about her improper use of a government computer to send private emails. Such are the perverse ways of the deeply unjust.

Manning, Assange and the Use of Solitary Confinement
Dr. Emanuel E. Garcia – TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Apr 2019
9 Apr 2019 – Chelsea Manning courageously exposed war crimes. Julian Assange published her findings and many others that reveal the fetid and rank underbelly of Power and its lawless disregard for truth or human life. Their imprisonment is criminal, but their unnecessary isolation in their respective prisons is sadistic, cruel and deplorable. It is a peculiarly atrocious form of torture. In a truly civilised society, this should be wholly unacceptable.

Secrecy versus Democracy
John Scales Avery – TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Apr 2019
12 Apr 2019 – According to the Nuremberg Principles, the citizens of a country have a responsibility for the crimes that their governments commit. But to prevent these crimes, the people need to have some knowledge of what is going on. Indeed, democracy cannot function at all without this knowledge, If Julian Assange becomes a martyr to the truth like Galileo or Bruno, his name will be honored in the future, and the shame of his captors will be remembered too.

Denmark’s PM Admires a Killing Soldier’s Simplistic View of Good and Evil
Jan Oberg | The Transnational – TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Apr 2019
11 Apr 2019 – An entertaining talk show, “Skavlan”, one of the largest in Europe with 2 million viewers. A dialogue between a prime minister and a UK Special Forces soldier who doesn’t regret that he has kicked in doors and “killed a lot” in Afghanistan. He justifies himself by the most primitive and long-ago debunked theory about Good and Evil in this world. After which the prime minister expresses his admiration and total agreement! Something is deeply wrong here. Disturbing. Do the issues of war and peace not require any intellectual capacity, knowledge or decent thinking? And how come that both the PM and the soldier seem to feel like victims in spite of having, directly and indirectly, themselves taken lives?

The present work makes a case for the relevance of Albert Einstein and Sigmund Freud’s exchange on war and peace for current efforts towards establishing a Culture of Peace. The author concludes by suggesting that the exchange between them is directly in line with, and contributes towards, current efforts to promote such Culture — particularly regarding their shared view that war is not intrinsic to human nature and therefore can be eliminated.

9 Apr 2019 – If your people suffer genocide, here is the package deal you will get from our indifferent world:
The mass media will descend on the crime scene as long as there is blood to be filmed;
Western media corporations will send your spokesperson a chauffeured Mercedes for a three-minute TV interview;
The UN General Assembly will pass a resolution or annual resolutions — as long as the genocide has not stopped — in order to try to appear to be doing something for the victims;
The Security Council will debate and adopt a non-binding resolution;
The secretary-general, the glorified chief clerk of the world’s most bloated bureaucracy whose purpose is long gone, will mention “Never again!” and lament his — never her — impotence;

What Does It Mean to Teach Peace?
Ellen Birkett Lindeen | Peace Voice – TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Apr 2019
[Note from TMS editor]: Peace does not mean the absence of war; that is called negative peace. Positive peace is based on equitable distribution of resources, restoration of relationships, the creation of social systems that serve the needs of the whole population and the constructive resolution of conflict. To work for a sustainable peace, people focus on factors to generate positive peace, rather than simply to avoid violence. [Galtung 1996].

We have known for a long time that naval sonar has devastating effects on marine life but just exactly how it leads to sickness and death was a mystery till now.

In 1466, at the age of fourteen, Leonardo was apprenticed to one of the most successful artists of his day, Andrea di Cione, known as Verrocchio. Verrocchio’s workshop was at the centre of the intellectual currents of Florence, assuring the young Leonardo of an education in the humanities. Leonardo would have been exposed to a vast range of technical skills and had the opportunity to learn drafting, chemistry, metallurgy, metal working, plaster casting, leather working, mechanics and carpentry as well as the artistic skills of drawing, painting, sculpting and modeling.

Rohingya Genocide Survivor Censored by American Patrons in His Testimony before the US Senate
Maung Zarni – TRANSCEND Media Service,
15 Apr 2019
9 Apr 2019 – It came to my attention that Tun Khin was, in effect, instructed to NOT mention the Genocide Convention in his testimony, because it would undermine a Burma legislation that IS SUPPOSED TO help Rohingyas. When a fact such as that the Genocide Convention exists – and was envisaged as a tool to actualize this post-Holocaust mantra “never again!” – is unwelcome at one of the most powerful chambers of power, US Senate – it becomes categorically questionable why the Senate sub-committee even holds such a hearing, wasting American taxpayers’ money and giving millions of victims FALSE HOPES – not just Rohingyas, but Uyghurs and Tibetans.

Thinking outside the box means thinking outside private law and outside the political and ethical philosophies that legitimate what Karl Polanyi called ‘market society’ (market society is a genus of which capitalism is a species). It means acknowledging that traditional Muslims are not stupid, in the light of their life experience, when they prefer Sharia Law. Sharia Law with all its faults is at least a possible way to organize human life including everybody (at least ‘all the faithful’) and respecting nature.

In 2010, the Guardian, like the New York Times and a few other corporate newspapers, briefly partnered with WikiLeaks to publish the contents of thousands of confidential US diplomatic cables, known as Cablegate.

13 Apr 2019 – The glimpse of Julian Assange being dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy in London is an emblem of the times. Might against right. Muscle against the law. Indecency against courage.

(Castellano) Por qué fracasan los activistas
Robert Burrowes, Ph.D. | Pressenza – TRANSCEND Media Service,
8 Apr 2019
Los sistemas formales de gobernanza humana en la Tierra -es decir, los gobiernos y las organizaciones intergubernamentales como las Naciones Unidas- están controlados por la élite mundial, que es invisible para la mayoría de las personas, incluidos los activistas, y por lo tanto no es considerada por ellos. Así, por supuesto, es como la élite lo quiere y uno todavía puede encontrar fácilmente cuentas que preguntan si la élite (por el nombre que se le dé) realmente existe e incluso le atribuyen una cualidad mística. Si es que la idea no es simplemente descartada como una “teoría de la conspiración”.

Can Students Become a Revolutionary Force?
David Adams | Transition to a Culture of Peace – TRANSCEND Media Service,
8 Apr 2019
1 Apr 2019 – It seems we are now starting to see student strikes to demand that their governments address the problem of climate change. Can this movement become revolutionary? Students are beginning to see that their world is being exploited by their governments and that their schools seem to be in complicity with the governments. The American Youth Climate Strike say in their mission statement that “if the social order is disrupted by our refusal to attend school, then the system is forced to face the climate crisis and enact change.”

Thoreau on the Long Cycles of Social Change and the Importance of Not Mistaking Politics for Progress
Maria Popova | Brain Pickings – TRANSCEND Media Service,
8 Apr 2019
All men are partially buried in the grave of custom, and of some we see only the crown of the head above ground. Better are the physically dead, for they more lively rot. Even virtue is no longer such if it be stagnant. A man’s life should be constantly as fresh as this river. It should be the same channel, but a new water every instant. The longer the lever the less perceptible its motion… The hero then will know how to wait, as well as to make haste. All good abides with him who waiteth wisely.

Syria: Is US Fighting ISIS or Liquidating Assets?
Tony Cartalucci | Land Destroyer Report – TRANSCEND Media Service,
8 Apr 2019
28 Mar 2019 – That the “final stronghold” of ISIS resides in US occupied territory in Syria says it all. From US Defense Intelligence Agency memos noting efforts to create a “Salafist” [Islamic] “principality” [State] in eastern Syria precisely where ISIS rose and now clings to its “final stronghold,” to the obvious fact that ISIS’ fighting capacity was only possible through extensive state sponsorship – it was already clear that the US and its partners in regime change against Syria had been using terrorists including ISIS as proxy ground forces.

The demonizing of Russia is now as bad as or worse than during the 1950s McCarthy-era and the height of the Cold War. To avoid catastrophic nuclear confrontation with Russia we need dialog and diplomacy, not escalating confrontation.

When you progress in yoga, you can feel the unwanted burdens of the mind fall away, such as anxiety, anger, greed, envy, hate, discontent, etc. Then other qualities like peacefulness, tranquility, contentment, and blissfulness will be felt. These are qualities everyone is trying to find and are some of the many things that can be accomplished with yoga, at least on the elementary level. As you make further progress, you may enter into the deeper levels of understanding and transcending the mind and gradually go so far as to attain realizations as to what your own spiritual identity is and what your relationship is with the Absolute.
