Canada Needs a National Water Policy That Bans Bulk Water Exports

By: Dana Gabriel - 29 August, 2008
Commentary / Analysis, Globalization, Health / Environment

There is little doubt that NAFTA has brought about the loss of Canadian sovereignty over its own resources and further threatens its water supply. Through the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), bulk water transfers are being discussed. The SPP is carrying on where NAFTA left off, and this includes the U.S. further gaining access to Canadian [...]

By Hal Smith
I would like to write an op-ed in layman’s terms in the hope that maybe; just maybe someone can explain this whole gas gouging deal to me!
In a news wire the other day, I read that even though the price of a barrel of oil had dropped, it would take days for us [...]

Old-Thinker News
After the recent Georgian incursion into South Ossetia, discussion has been rampant regarding America’s influence and dominance on the world scene. Some are proclaiming that Russia has laid to rest aspirations for a so called New World Order. From one angle this may appear to be the case, but there is a bigger picture [...]

Free Trade and Labour in a Scientific Society: The Scientific Outlook Part 8

Business / Economics, Commentary / Analysis, Globalization

“In the old days it was expected that about half the children in a family would die before they grew up; this involved pain, illness, and sorrow to the mother, often great suffering to the children, and a waste of natural resources in the care of children who never lived to become productive.” - Bertrand Russell, 1931 (p196)

Freedom and Equality in a Scientific Society: The Scientific Outlook Part 7

By: Brent Jessop - 10 August, 2008
Commentary / Analysis

“There will, of course, be a universal language, which will be either Esperanto or pidgin-English. The literature of the past will for the most part not be translated into this language, since its outlook and emotional background will be considered unsettling: serious students of history will be able to obtain a permit from the Government to study such works as Hamlet and Othello, but the general public will be forbidden access to them on the ground that they glorify private murder; boys will not be allowed to read books about pirates or Red Indians; love themes will be discouraged on the ground that love, being anarchic, is silly, if not wicked. All this will make life very pleasant for the virtuous.” - Bertrand Russell, 1931

Scientific Technique and Human Reproduction: The Scientific Outlook Part 6

By: Brent Jessop - 5 August, 2008
Commentary / Analysis, Health / Environment

“While it is rather rash to make detailed prophecies, it is, I think, fairly clear that in future a human body, from the moment of conception, will not be regarded merely as something which must be left to grow in accordance with natural forces, with no human interference beyond what is required for the preservation of health. The tendency of scientific technique is to cause everything to be regarded as not just a brute datum, but raw material for the carrying out of some human purpose. The child, and even the embryo, will come to be viewed more and more in this way as the mentality connected with scientific technique becomes more dominant. In this, as in all other forms of scientific power, there are possibilities of good and possibilities of evil. Science alone will not decide which is to prevail.” - Bertrand Russell, 1931

NAU: Wanted Dead or Alive

By: Dana Gabriel - 1 August, 2008
Commentary / Analysis, Globalization

In this commentary there is a certain amount of skepticism mixed with cautious optimism. Have a handful of brave, dedicated, concerned citizens and action groups slayed the North American Union monster? It is true that we have been afforded a sort of reprieve, and have been given a little breathing room. We might have the globalists [...]

Behaviourism, Psycho-Analysis and Physiological Manipulation in Education: The Scientific Outlook Part 5

By: Brent Jessop - 27 July, 2008
Commentary / Analysis

“Education in a scientific society may, I think, be best conceived after the analogy of the education provided by the Jesuits. The Jesuits provided one sort of education for the boys who were to become ordinary men of the world, and another for those who were to become members of the Society of Jesus. In like manner, the scientific rulers will provide one kind of education for ordinary men and women, and another for those who are to become holders of scientific power. Ordinary men and women will be expected to be docile, industrious, punctual, thoughtless, and contented. Of these qualities probably contentment will be considered the most important. In order to produce it, all the researches of psycho-analysis, behaviourism, and biochemistry will be brought into play.” - Bertrand Russell, 1931 (p243)
