LifestreamThe playing field is being leveled, says globalization guru Thomas Friedman - from Shanghai to Silicon Valley, from al Qaeda to Wal-Mart.
This is Globalization 3.0. In Globalization 1.0, which began around 1492, the world went from size large to size medium. In Globalization 2.0, the era that introduced us to multinational companies, it went from [...]

Just a quick note to say that Chomskytorrents.org is open since a couple of weeks ago. Seems like a nice initiative. Especially since most of the contemporary media is doing their very best to avoid or disregard anything Noam Chomsky has to say. His books are being shunned by ‘mainstream’ reviewers and so on.

As a continuation to #1129 but far from the proper conclusion I’d hoped for, Washington Post offers yet another account today of the “airline service” offered by the CIA.
Eight weeks later, on Dec. 18, 2001, American-accented men wearing hoods and working with special Swedish security police brought two Egyptian nationals onto a Gulfstream V that [...]
