Ron Wyden on the Dodgy Behavior of the Intelligence Community —
28 Jun 2013 —
In spite of the ongoing leaks sourced from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, there is still much that the public doesn't know about government surveillance. Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is silent on the appropriateness of Snowden's actions, but he thinks the current conversation about what level of surveillance is appropriate in the US should have happened long ago. He also notes the chronic habit of the intelligence community to mislead the public about its activities.

Crashes of Convenience—Did They Take Out a Truth Teller? —
06 Jun 2013—
Michael Hastings was that rarest of breeds—a mainstream reporter who wasn't afraid to kick back against the establishment and bite the hand that feeds him. On the morning of June 18, 2013, he died in a fiery car crash. But details of the truly bizarre crash have become known, information that he was on the verge of breaking an important new story about the CIA has emerged, and even a former counter-terrorism czar is admitting that Hastings' car crash could have been the result of a cyber-jacking. James Corbett offers an excellent review of the strange details surrounding the untimely death of Michael Hastings.

Land Grab—The Financialization of Farmland —
30 Jun 2013 —
A financial sector built on a foundation of continuous material expansion is seeking returns in a slowing global economy.

Fred Pearce discusses the global race for farmland as detailed in his recent book, The Land Grabbers.

Three Rules for Sustainable Ocean Fishing —
21 Jun 2013 —
We hear a great deal about the nutritional value of fish, but it seems to be getting increasingly difficult to eat seafood sustainably. Andy Sharpless discusses how we can better manage our fisheries with three rules: (1) set and enforce sustainable catch limits; (2) protect the coastal spawning grounds (which are often damaged by bottom trawlers); (3) set and enforce limits on bycatch (of non-target species). He also explains why fish farming of carnivore species like salmon is not sustainable.

Is Monsanto's RoundUp Herbicide the Cause of Honeybees' Colony Collapse Disorder? —
28 May 2013 —
Terrence Ingram, an Illinois beekeeper with five decades of experience, explains the evidence that has convinced him that Monsanto's herbicide RoundUp is a key factor in colony collapse disorder. Also rather shocking in the story is the ineptitude and duplicity of the Illinois Department of Agriculture, which destroyed his bees after they falsely claimed his colony's were diseased. Ingram suspects the raid had more to do with his 15 years of research into how Roundup kills bees than with any actual concerns about his hives.

Fish Swimming in a Pharmaceutical Soup —
22 Jun 2013 —
Pharmaceuticals make their way into our waterways after passing through our bodies. The problem is so severe that some lakes and rivers have been described as a 'chemical soup'. Some pharmaceuticals have been proven to damage the reproductive systems of aquatic species, like fish and frogs. A new study looks at the multiplying effect of two common pharma chemicals—estrogen and Prozac—together in the water. In goldfish, additional reproductive damage was observed and metabolism was disrupted. This study also raises concerns about human consumption of fish and water polluted with such pharmaceuticals.

Obama's Climate Speech —
28 Jun 2013 —
Barack Obama gave a major address on climate change, but what it actually signaled is very much up for debate. As usual, the fossil fuel industry is claiming to be unhappy, which the media widely reported. But almost entirely missing from media reports were any environmental critiques of the proposed policy. Public Citizen's Tyson Slocum offers a greener—and more sobering—assessment of Obama's not-so-green climate plan.

How Processed Food Took Over the American Meal —
21 Jun 2013 —
It's fair to say that there's more we don't know about modern food than what we do know, and that we don't know about the potential effects of thousands of additives routinely incorporated into processed comestibles. Melanie Warner, author of Pandora's Lunchbox, offers a shocking assessment of what you get when you eat industrial "applications"—that is, the processed food you can buy in the store but can't cook from ingredients available in your own kitchen.

We need to reorient out thinking if we want to achieve health, happiness, and a livable world. We should set goals and work hard, but we should be detached from the outcome.
