Fwd: The truth about U.S. government objectives in Venezuela
by Michel Bauwens 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Thomas Greco <thgreco(a)mindspring.com> Date: Tue, Mar 5, 2019 at 2:34 AM Subject: The truth about U.S. government objectives in Venezuela To: Michel Bauwens <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> In 2018, the United Nations Human Rights Commission (HRC) sent its former Secretary, Alfred de Zayas to Venezuela to investigate the situation there. De Zayas is an American lawyer, writer, historian, and leading expert in the field of human rights and international law. In August of 2018, de Zayas presented his Venezuela report <https://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed…> to the HRC but it was greeted with a shocking silence. The only mainstream media outlet that I am aware of that has covered the UN report is the Independent <https://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed…> (UK), in an article titled, Venezuela crisis: Former UN rapporteur says US sanctions are killing citizens <https://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed…>, published on January 26, 2019. I have not seen any similar coverage it in the United States, and I myself learned about the report almost by accident. Amidst the deafening drumbeat for regime change, one must wonder why such an official investigation has been ignored. Despite this neglect by the mainstream media, several recorded interviews of De Zayas have made their way onto the Worldwide Web. In this video interview <https://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed…>, the UN Investigator and human rights rapporteur gives a summary of his findings. De Zayas says that *there is no humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, *but “The government … through an external economic war is being asphyxiated.” He asserts that “the financial blockade has had extremely adverse human rights impact” and it has been the intention of the United States “to create a situation whereby the people or the military would topple the government...and then the one percent could again come in and again control the wealth of Venezuela.” Among the facts that he presents are these: - *The Venezuelan oil company Citgo has not been allowed to take it revenues, amounting to 9 or 10 billion dollars, out of the United States. * - *In July 2017 Citibank decided, without prior notice, to close the accounts of the Central Bank of Venezuela,* - *And again, in November 2017, Citibank blocked the transfer[of funds] for a shipment of more than 300,000 doses of insulin. * - *Also, in November 2017, “the company Euroclear, retained $1.65 billion that the government of Venezuela had paid for the purchase of food and medicine.* These and numerous other blocks of payment for essential medicines, he argues, are responsible for increased rates of child and maternal mortality, and increased deaths due to lack of insulin and anti-retroviral drugs. National security advisor, John Bolton has arrogantly admitted on air to Fox Business host Trish Regan that the [Trump] administration has the goal of putting U.S. companies in charge of Venezuela's oil production. See it on former Congressman Ron Paul’s Liberty Report <https://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed…> . The most recent developments in this matter have included new financial sanctions, the attempt to declare the Maduro presidency illegitimate and to impose a hand-picked puppet who has no legitimate claim to the presidency, and an attempt to provoke an incident by sending so-called “aid” to the border with Columbia. As Mr. De Zayas, puts it, “Juan Guaido is riding on the Trojan horse of the United States.” We should be grateful to Mr. De Zayas for courageously reporting the truth of the matter in Venezuela. It is distressing to me to see such broad support by Western and Latin American governments for regime change in Venezuela based on trumped-up charges. Such blatant imperial overreach should have the US populace up in arms, especially after the obvious falsehoods that have been put forth to overthrow governments in places like Iraq, Libya, and others countries across the middle-east and North Africa, and the attempted overthrow of the Assad government in Syria. Truly, the world order today has all the hallmarks of a fascist super-state. You can find Mr. de Zayas’ official report at https://documents-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/G18/239/29/PDF/G1823929.pdf?O… <https://beyondmoney.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3cbee2e1cfc237bcae4ed…>.

an update on important publications by the P2P Foundation
by Michel Bauwens 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

We have several things cooking at the P2P Foundation which is aligned with your work! The first is an english book (being translated in Korean, and perhaps also in French soon), that summarizes our work in the last ten years, in look at how productive commons-based communities engage with generative market forms, and with facilitating public authorities, both at the micro-level, as actual practice, and how that let's us imagine a reformed civilization that can deal with social justice and ecological balance, See https://www.commonslabantwerpen.org/activiteiten/2019/3/4/michel-bauwens-va…, for our official launch in London on 21/3 (launch in Ghent on 23/3) Our other great project is the one you contributed to finding funding. In essence, it takes the donut of Kate Raworth, and seeks a concrete instantiation of it by presenting a configuration of socio-technical systems that can be both socially predistributive (equity embedded through contributive accounting) and ecologically stable (in the context of course, of destabilizing climate change). It won't be published officially before mid-May but the final text and graphs are ready in google doc, see here for a summary and links to the google docs: https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/P2P_Accounting_for_Planetary_Survival Finally, I am 'list-pusher' for the European elections as MEP for the flemish Greens. While it is in principle a un-electable position, I see it as a opportunity for bringing the commons message and solution-space across a wider audience. I'm hoping to get a bit more of dedicated attention to our work, and any assistance would be appreciated Michel Bauwens -- P2P Foundation: http://p2pfoundation.net - http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Connect: http://p2pfoundation.ning.com; Discuss: http://lists.ourproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/p2p-foundation Updates: http://del.icio.us/mbauwens; http://friendfeed.com/mbauwens; http://twitter.com/mbauwens; http://www.facebook.com/mbauwens

Fwd: At the Turning Point
by Michel Bauwens 03 Mar '19

03 Mar '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kosmos Journal <info(a)kosmosjournal.org> Date: Sat, Mar 2, 2019 at 10:00 PM Subject: At the Turning Point To: michel <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> Click here <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> to read this newsletter on our website. [image: Kosmos Community Newsletter] At the Turning Point March 2nd, 2019 [image: snowdrops.jpg] Dear Reader, A Buddhist nun shared a phrase that touched my heart, ‘*Mother Earth is doing her best*.’ It has been my mantra as I notice the earliest signs of Spring beginning to emerge where I live in Rose Valley, Pennsylvania – a robin, and the very first buds of renewal outside my door. And even though the rose bushes still look stark and bleak, I know the promise of life is there. We are nearing the turning point between winter and spring in this hemisphere, coinciding with the day our Spring edition of Kosmos Quarterly <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> publishes, *Rising Earth Awareness. * You have heard the phrase, *Great Turning* – the transition to a global society in harmony with all Life. All around us, we see the early signs of this emergence. People are waking up to the realities of our present situation. Yes, it looks bleak at times, and many still live in denial – business as usual. Yet, there is no denying it – greater Earth awareness on the rise. If you have ever been to Astor Place in New York City, you have seen the big *Cube* sculpture, positioned there on its axis. It is heavy and it takes more than one person to move it. I have seen friends and strangers come together to turn the *Cube*, and participated myself a few times. One person can not do it alone. People must push together. That is the kind of moment we face, except it is no less than a turning point for humanity. In this spirit, *Kosmos* seeks to bring together those who wish to unite our energy and seed our communities with hope and resilience. The Climate, Consciousness and Community Summit takes place April 20-23 <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>, during Easter, Passover and Earth Day. This is the great work of our time. No matter what our individual outlook may be – doubt, fear, outrage, determination – each of us has a choice to make, whether or not we will *push together*, for Life. Join us! In loving cooperation, R. Fabian and your Kosmos Team *Registration <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> Open for the Kosmos Climate, Consciousness and Community Summit* *The Kosmos Climate, Consciousness, and Community Summit <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>brings together influential climate thinkers, healers and change-makers – ranging from water protectors and local-economy pioneers, to artists, farmers, spiritual teachers, and more. Come share about your work.* Engage in intimate dialogue and reflection as we confront hard truths and our deepest feelings about the converging crises we face on Earth, our home. We will convene in the beautiful, thriving Transition Town <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> of Media, Pennsylvania, April 20-23, 2019.

According to Datar, the creation of a marbled steak would likely be the most difficult due to it being a 3D and organized tissue. Currently, the companies that she co-founded, Perfect Day and Clara Foods, produce milk without cows and eggs without chickens. The discussion on lab-based agriculture to make traditionally animal-derived food products is of immense importance for the environmental future of the planet as well being able to give a wider variety of people a higher quality of food. Being able to find an alternative to animal agriculture not only will free up large tracts of land and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the form of bovine flatulence, but also a greater degree of control of what exactly goes into food. <https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?text=A%20Burger%20With%20No%20Cows%2C%20Th…> <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.facebook.com?p=eyJzIjoieGJ…> <https://www.piqd.com/tracking/technology-politics/a-burger-with-no-cows-the…> <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=eyJzIjoiMTRGWGc…> Source: Lowell | learningwithlowell.com on 02/26/2019 | Image: Learning with Lowel Podcast | Language: EN Cellular Agriculture Pioneering with New Harvest Executive Director Isha Datar Read article <https://mandrillapp.com/track/click/30835283/www.piqd.com?p=eyJzIjoiMTRGWGc…> Your newsletter Not enough information in your newsletter?
