It’s a good news/bad news situation for believers in the 2012 Mayan apocalypse. The good news is that the Mayan «Long Count» calendar may not end on Dec. 21, 2012 (and, by extension, the world may not end along with it). The bad news for prophecy believers? If the calendar doesn’t end in December 2012, no one knows when it actually will – or if it has already.

A new critique, published as a chapter in the new textbook «Calendars and Years II: Astronomy and Time in the Ancient and Medieval World» (Oxbow Books, 2010), argues that the accepted conversions of dates from Mayan to the modern calendar may be off by as much as 50 or 100 years. That would throw the supposed and overhyped 2012 apocalypse off by decades and cast into doubt the dates of historical Mayan events. (The doomsday worries are based on the fact that the Mayan calendar ends in 2012, much as our year ends on Dec. 31.)

Γ. Παπανδρέου: H Διεθνής Διακυβέρνηση πάνω από την Εθνική.

Σε συνέντευξή του στην αμερικανική ηλεκτρονική εφημερίδα «Christian Science Monitor», ο πρωθυπουργός της Ελλάδας κ. Παπανδρέου είπε πράγματα τα οποία ξεκαθαρίζουν πλέον τις σκέψεις του και την ιδεολογία του σημερινού ΠΑΣΟΚ και δεν αφήνουν πλέον καμία αμφιβολία για οποιαδήποτε παρερμηνεία. Μετά τη συνέντευξη αυτή δεν συγχωρείται πλέον κανείς, φιλελεύθερος, σοσιαλιστής ή κομμουνιστής να δηλώνει άγνοια για το που πάμε.Εμείς λέμε, ευτυχώς που ο κ. Παπανδρέου ξεκαθάρισε επίσημα την ιδεολογία του ΠΑΣΟΚ ώστε να υπάρχει πλέον πεδίο αντιπαράθεσης επί της ουσίας και όχι σκιαμαχίες επί εικαζόμενων βουλήσεων και σκοπών.

Washington (CNSNews.com) – Sen. Jim DeMint (R- S.C.) said that if President Barack Obama gets his way and the Senate ratifies the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the precedent would be set to place parental rights under the jurisdiction of the international community.

“We believe we need to take clear action here in Congress to protect the rights of parents to raise their children,» DeMint said at a Wednesday panel discussion. «This treaty would, in fact, establish a precedent that those rights have been given over to the international community.»

ΟΛΟΚΛΗΡΗ Η ΣΥΝΕΝΤΕΥΞΗ ΤΟΥ ΣΠΟΝΣΟΡΑ ΤΗΣ ΠΑΓΚΟΣΜΙΑΣ ΚΥΒΕΡΝΗΣΗΣ Γ.Α.ΠΑΠΑΝΡΕΟΥ

Greece is the epicenter of the latest crisis of globalization — the sovereign debt crisis. That country’s prime minister, George Papandreou, has emerged as a key leader and thinker of the responsible left as he faces the challenge head on.

In this wide-ranging interview conducted in Athens last week by Global Viewpoint/NPQ contributing editor Michael Skafidas, Papandreou illustrates his firm grasp of the complexities of interdependence that link the pensions of Greek civil servants to rising consumer demand and labor rights in China to the viability of the European Union itself.

Above all, Papandreou is a defender of the idea of democracy born centuries ago in ancient Athens. In his view, globalization must be tamed so it serves democracy, not the market.

Αυτόνομη Ανεξάρτητη Κρήτη ή μήπως Τουρκική Κρήτη-Ένα επικίνδυνο παιχνίδι

Τον τελευταία δέκα χρόνια ανακινείται από άγνωστους κύκλους του εξωτερικού κυρίως το θέμα της (Ανεξαρτησίας_Αυτονομίας) της Κρήτης.

Το ζήτημα έχει πάρει διαστάσεις στο διαδίκτυο όπου προβάλλονται όροι, όπως Κρητική σημαία, Κρητική Πολιτεία, Αυτόνομη Κρήτη, Ανεξάρτητη Κρήτη, Λαϊκή Δημοκρατία της Κρήτης κ.τ.λ.

Αρκετές σημαίες φιγουράρουν σε σπίτια ενώ υπάρχουν δεκάδες αυτοκίνητα στα οποία είναι τοποθετημένο το σύμβολο της Κρητικής Πολιτείας στις πινακίδες. Το φαινόμενο είναι εντονότερο στο Ηράκλειο, όπου οι Αρχές έχουν καταγράψει εκατοντάδες περιπτώσεις ανθρώπων που έχουν κάνει κεντρικό τους σύνθημα την «Κρητική Πολιτεία» και το όραμα της «Αυτόνομης Κρήτης».

Μέχρι ενός σημείου μπορεί κάποιος να χαρακτηρίσει αυτές τις ενέργειες από περιθωριακές έως γραφικές.

Βάλτε το χέρι στην καρδιά και πείτε μας. Τι πιστεύετε περισσότερο σε κάποια ζητήματα, εκείνο που προβάλλεται από τα επίσημα χείλη  της κυβέρνησης (οποιασδήποτε χώρας) ή   εκείνο που σχολιάζεται από κάποιους «αμφιλεγόμενους» αμφισβητίες της επίσημης άποψης, με ατράνταχτα επιχειρήματα;

Αν απαντήσετε το δεύτερο, είσαστε συνωμοσιολόγος. Αν απαντήσετε το πρώτο, είσαστε καλός υπάκουος και ευνομούμενος πολίτης. Τέτοιους μας θέλουν εξ άλλου. Όχι περιττές σκέψεις, βρε αδερφέ…

Άλλο παράδειγμα: Στον πόλεμο του Ιράκ, τόσο ο τότε πρόεδρος Μπους, όσο και ο τότε πρωθυπουργός της Βρετανίας ξέσκιζαν τα ιμάτιά τους και υποστήριζαν ότι ο πόλεμος επείγει, επειδή το Σαντάμ Χουσεΐν διέθετε όπλα μαζικής καταστροφής.

Τους είχατε πιστέψει; Παρόλο που η άποψη αυτή είχε έντονα αμφισβητηθεί όχι μόνο επίσημα από αξιωματούχους αμερικανικών υπηρεσιών που έκαναν επιτόπου επιθεωρήσεις, ο πόλεμος έγινε, ο Σαντάμ εκτελέστηκε και το Ιράκ βρίσκεται υπό αμερικανική κατοχή.

New Eugenics and the Rise of the Global Scientific Dictatorship

The Technological Revolution and the Future of Freedom, Part 3

by Andrew Gavin Marshall

Global Research, July 5, 2010

Introduction

We are in the midst of the most explosive development in all of human history. Humanity is experiencing a simultaneously opposing and conflicting geopolitical transition, the likes of which has never before been anticipated or experienced. Historically, the story of humanity has been the struggle between the free-thinking individual and structures of power controlled by elites that seek to dominate land, resources and people. The greatest threat to elites at any time – historically and presently – is an awakened, critically thinking and politically stimulated populace. This threat has manifested itself throughout history, in different places and at different times. Ideas of freedom, democracy, civil and human rights, liberty and equality have emerged in reaction and opposition to power structures and elite systems of control.

The greatest triumphs of the human mind – whether in art, science or thought – have arisen out of and challenged great systems of power and control. The greatest of human misery and tragedy has arisen out of the power structures and systems that elites always seek to construct and manage. War, genocide, persecution and human degradation are directly the result of decisions made by those who control the apparatus of power, whether the power manifests itself as intellectual, ecclesiastical, spiritual, militaristic, or scientific. The most malevolent and ruthless power is that over the free human mind: if one controls how one thinks, they control the individual itself. The greatest human achievements are where individuals have broken free the shackles that bind the mind and let loose the inherent and undeniable power that lies in each and every individual on this small little planet.

Currently, our world is at the greatest crossroads our species has ever experienced. We are in the midst of the first truly global political awakening, in which for the first time in all of human history, all of mankind is politically awakened and stirring; in which whether inadvertently or intentionally, people are thinking and acting in political terms. This awakening is most evident in the developing world, having been made through personal experience to be acutely aware of the great disparities, disrespect, and domination inherent in global power structures. The awakening is spreading increasingly to the west itself, as the majority of the people living in the western developed nations are thrown into poverty and degradation. The awakening will be forced upon all people all over the world. Nothing, no development, ever in human history, has posed such a monumental threat to elite power structures.

This awakening is largely driven by the Technological Revolution, which through technology and electronics, in particular mass media and the internet, have made it so that people across the world are able to become aware of global issues and gain access to information from around the world. The Technological Revolution, thus, has fostered an Information Revolution which has, in turn, fed the global political awakening.

Revolution and Repression in America

The Technological Revolution and the Future of Freedom, Part 2

by Andrew Gavin Marshall

Global Research, June 29, 2010

Introduction

As outlined in Part 1 of this series, “The Technological Revolution and the Future of Freedom,” there are two major geopolitical realities in the world today, both largely brought about as a result of the “Technological Revolution” in which technology and electronics have come to define and shape our society.

The Technological Revolution has led to a diametrically opposed, antagonistic, and conflicting geopolitical reality: never before has humanity been so awakened to issues of power, exploitation, imperialism and domination; and simultaneously, never before have elites been so transnational and global in orientation, and with the ability to impose such a truly global system of scientific despotism and political oppression. These are the two major geopolitical realities of the world today. Never in all of human history has mankind been so capable of achieving a true global political psycho-social awakening; nor has humanity ever been in such danger of being subjected to a truly global scientific totalitarianism, potentially more oppressive than any system known before, and without a doubt more technologically capable of imposing a permanent despotism upon humanity. So we are filled with hope, but driven by urgency. In all of human history, never has the potential nor the repercussions of human actions and ideas ever been so monumental.

Not only is the awakening global in its reach, but in its very nature. It creates within the individual, an awareness of the global condition. So it is a ‘global awakening’ both in the external environment, and in the internal psychology. This new reality in the world, coupled with the fact that the world’s population has never been so vast, presents a challenge to elites seeking to dominate people all over the world who are aware and awakened to the realities of social inequality, war, poverty, exploitation, disrespect, imperialism and domination. This directly implies that these populations will be significantly more challenging to control: economically, politically, socially, psychologically and spiritually. Thus, from the point of view of the global oligarchy, the only method of imposing order and control – on this unique and historical human condition – is through the organized chaos of economic crises, war, and the rapid expansion and institutionalization of a global scientific dictatorship. Our hope is their fear; and our greatest fear is their only hope.

The Global Political Awakening and the New World Order

The Technological Revolution and the Future of Freedom, Part 1 by Andrew Gavin Marshall
Global Research, June 24, 2010 There is a new and unique development in human history that is taking place around the world; it is unprecedented in reach and volume, and it is also the greatest threat to all global power structures: the ‘global political awakening.’ The term was coined by Zbigniew Brzezinski, and refers to the fact that, as Brzezinski wrote:For the first time in history almost all of humanity is politically activated, politically conscious and politically interactive. Global activism is generating a surge in the quest for cultural respect and economic opportunity in a world scarred by memories of colonial or imperial domination.[1] It is, in essence, this massive ‘global political awakening’ which presents the gravest and greatest challenge to the organized powers of globalization and the global political economy: nation-states, multinational corporations and banks, central banks, international organizations, military, intelligence, media and academic institutions. The Transnational Capitalist Class (TCC), or ‘Superclass’ as David Rothkopf refers to them, are globalized like never before. For the first time in history, we have a truly global and heavily integrated elite. As elites have globalized their power, seeking to construct a ‘new world order’ of global governance and ultimately global government, they have simultaneously globalized populations. The ‘Technological Revolution’ (or ‘Technetronic’ Revolution, as Brzezinski termed it in 1970) involves two major geopolitical developments. The first is that as technology advances, systems of mass communication rapidly accelerate, and the world’s people are able to engage in instant communication with one another and gain access to information from around the world. In it, lies the potential – and ultimately a central source – of a massive global political awakening. Simultaneously, the Technological Revolution has allowed elites to redirect and control society in ways never before imagined, ultimately culminating in a global scientific dictatorship, as many have warned of since the early decades of the 20th century. The potential for controlling the masses has never been so great, as science unleashes the power of genetics, biometrics, surveillance, and new forms of modern eugenics; implemented by a scientific elite equipped with systems of psycho-social control (the use of psychology in controlling the masses).
