On Seeing and Experiencing
“This world was not meant for camera lenses in the way that it was meant for eyes. With enough skill, enough technology, the right photographer can produce wonderful results, but there is an ease with which the gaze meets the visible world and wanders through it, an ease with which no technical solution can compete.”…
Real Reason for US Government Attacks near Venezuela?
The New York Times reports on December 12 that Marco Rubio, whose family immigrated from Cuba a number of years ago, may be pushing for these attacks for regime change in Venezuela because the oil-rich Venezuelan government is suppling much-needed oil supplies for Cuba. If the US government succeeded in cutting off these supplies, it…
War against Venezuela?
We are seeing a possible repeat of George W. Bush’s Iraq war. This war was based on a faked document purporting that the Saddam Hussein regime was seeking uranium for a nuclear weapon.

Pope Francis’ Last Statement
The following is part of Pope Francis’ 2025 Easter message: “I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others, but rather to use the resources available to help the needy, to fight hunger and to encourage…
Collapse
Jared Diamond in his book Collapse identifies three precursors of a civilization under collapse: 1. A persistent pattern of environmental change for the worse, such as long-lasting droughts. 2. Signs that existing modes of agricultural and/or industrial production are aggravating the crisis. 3. Elite failure to abandon harmful practices and adopt new means of production. At some…

“From Gaza to California: the flames that connect us all. The fires burning in Palestine and Los Angeles today are symptoms of the same disease: a system that values conquest over conservation, profit over people, and expansion over existence.” Source: Popular Resistance (popular-resistance.blogspot.com) by Mazin Qumsiyeh, Jan. 26, 2025
