OF THE
TIMES
In a new U.N. report released on Monday morning (Japan time) scientists come to a stark conclusion: Unless the world changes course immediately and dramatically, the fundamental systems that support human civilization are at risk.If true, surely the world has the right to know every bit of information used for this conclusion, but that hasn't happened. There's a contradiction between orchestrated publicity raising the threat, but silence, obfuscation, and outright denial regarding questions about important data, process, and methodology. Suspicions are driven by natural curiosity and desire for complete openness in science, but also by their behavior to date.
There won't be a fair process any more than there was, for example, over the sniper incidence on Maidan square itself. [Speaking about the American-backed puppet regime in Kiev] On balance, they support the people who've done that terrible thing in Odessa because they want to suppress the protests against themselves. [...] the army seems to be doing some of the fighting. When civilians come along and the soldiers are not prepared to shoot on civilians, right sector are brought in to do that.
"Only now, after talks blew up, did we learn that this is also about expropriating land on a large scale,"A credulous U.S. official complained, going much farther than any comment Sec. Kerry has made either on or off the record. Apparently the unnamed officials haven't been reading Electronic Intifada, Haaretz, +972mag, our site, or any of the other publications that might have informed them of this reality long ago.
"I guess we need another Intifada to create the circumstances that would allow progress,"One anonymous official asserted, clarifying that while they don't want that to happen, the lack of a 'sense of urgency' necessitates one. Perhaps a way to interpret this comment is the recognition that the current balance of power so drastically favors Israel, that only if the state came under extreme pressure - for example, through a massive popular uprising (let's think Intifada I, which was largely nonviolent) and a huge increase in international support for the BDS Movement - would Israel make the concessions necessary for negotiations to lead anywhere meaningful.
