Mark: You and your compatriots on P2P view the world from revisionism. Go ahead and keep looking through your microscope-provided by your "teachers."

Whoa. You should really stop talking. You have NO idea what you're talking about. How about forced acculturation, not allowing them to speak their own language (which hold the record of their own history), confined them under threat of violent force into reservations, among other things. But, really, that's probably not even the worst of it -- the worst of it is that for reasons they couldn't ever understand is why you were doing all of these cruel things when they were willing to share it it all with you. Why, when they handed out their hand to be friends, you chopped it off. Remember, they're the ones who gave us Thanksgiving which is still "celebrated" in this nation today. Read the reports made of making first contact with the Native peoples here. You really should read up before propagating the attitudes of conquest.

Fwd: Prejudice against Jews Rises in 2019

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tikkun & the Network of Spiritual Progressives <miriam(a)tikkun.org> Date: Sun, Jun 30, 2019 at 3:01 PM Subject: Prejudice against Jews Rises in 2019 To: Michel Bauwens <michelsub2004(a)gmail.com> Prejudice against Jews Rises in 2019 <https://default.salsalabs.org/T823496fe-c6cb-4565-a6a8-27404694c241/c02a818…> *The "Mother of All Rallies" event in support of Donald Trump, Sept 2017. Image courtesy of kelly bell photography/Flickr.* *Editor's note: this information is shared by PRRI Public Religion Research Institute. We at *Tikkun* are also concerned with the rise in discrimination across the various demeaned elements in American society, with 30% of Americans saying that small businesses should be able to refuse services to gays and lesbians. We highlight the information about Jews because, while there is a high level of recognition among liberals and progressives about the discrimination against gays and lesbians, many liberals and progressives deny that Jews are another such demeaned group, and many younger Jews themselves hold that position and think that it is inappropriate for social change activists to give focus to this issue. It is highly likely that the rise of prejudice across the board toward previously demeaned groups can be attributed to the atmosphere of violence and hate stimulated by the Trump administration and the white nationalist movement to which it has given strong signs of support, and which currently manifests in the vicious attempt to demonize asylum seekers at our borders while escalating attempts to expel "undocumented" refugees living in the U.S. —Rabbi Michael Lerner, Editor, *Tikkun The proportion of Americans who say small businesses should be able to refuse to serve Jews on religious grounds is up seven percentage points (19% in 2019 vs. 12% in 2014). Republicans (24%) are more likely than independents (16%) and Democrats (17%) to say small businesses should be allowed to refuse service to Jews. Support is up from 2014, when only 16% of Republicans and 9% of Democrats supported this sort of service refusal. Men are also more likely than women to say small business owners should be allowed to refuse service to Jews (22% vs. 16%). Support for all of these refusals is up for both men and women, with only around one in ten each for men and women endorsing these types of religiously based service refusals in 2014. Though there are no substantial differences by age in support for religiously based service refusals that target Jews, support has increased across all age groups since 2014. Support for these religiously based service refusals has also increased among most major religious groups since 2014. Support for refusing Jews service based on the religion of the person seeking services has roughly doubled among white evangelical Protestants (up to 24% from 12% in 2014), white mainline Protestants (up to 26% from 11%), and Catholics (up to 20% from 10%), while the religiously unaffiliated (11% vs. 11%) and nonwhite Protestants (19% vs. 14%) have remained mostly stable in their attitudes on these issues. *Click below to share this article on the platform of your choice!* * <https://default.salsalabs.org/Tbf71110a-6376-48e3-b777-861556a7c2fb/c02a818…> <https://default.salsalabs.org/T9841bc0b-0a16-47ca-806a-586c59121ca5/c02a818…>* Contact Us *Tikkun* & the Network of Spiritual Progressives 2342 Shattuck Ave #1200 Berkeley, California 94704 (510) 644-1200 magazine(a)tikkun.org Unsubscribe <https://tikkun.salsalabs.org/manage-your-subscription?eId=a0df97b0-709d-4bc…> -- 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: The Guardian's Deep Dive Into Our "New Left Economics"
by Michel Bauwens 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: The Next System Project <nextsystem(a)democracycollaborative.org> Date: Tue, Jun 25, 2019 at 10:00 PM Subject: The Guardian's Deep Dive Into Our "New Left Economics" To: <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> The New York Times and The New Republic also feature our economic ideas; a new book includes work by Thomas Hanna and Carla Santos Skandier The latest from The Next System Project *The Guardian Examines 'New Left Economics'* <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> The transatlantic work of the Democracy Collaborative and our allies took center stage in this "long read" article in *The Guardian* by Andy Beckett. "The new leftwing economics wants to see the redistribution of economic power, so that it is held by everyone—just as political power is held by everyone in a healthy democracy," Beckett writes. One concrete example highlighted in the article is the Democracy Collaborative's community wealth building work in Cleveland, Ohio and how it inspired a similar approach in the city of Preston in the United Kingdom. Read The Guardian article... <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> *Candidate Calls For Fossil Fuel Shutdown* <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> Presidential candidate Jay Inslee, the governor of Washington, this week proposed a set of climate crisis policies that include "the buying out and decommissioning of fossil fuel assets," with a goal of "phasing out fossil fuel production nationwide, with a special focus on a just transition for workers and the protection of communities that are reliant upon fossil fuel extraction." The Inslee "Freedom from Fossil Fuels" proposal broadly mirrors the agenda laid out in the "Taking climate action to the next level" <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> report The Next System Project published last year. Our YouGov poll earlier this year shows there is a sizable public mandate for strong action to phase out the fossil fuel industry and support a green transition for workers. Read our take... <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> *The New York Times, The New Republic Feature Next System Project Work* <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> A June 22 *New York Times* article on how communities in the United Kingdom have responded to spending cuts imposed by the central government highlights the transformation of the UK town of Preston under the leadership of Preston councilor and Democracy Collaborative fellow Matthew Brown. The *Times* article calls the success of what has become known as "the Preston model" of community wealth building "an irony of austerity’s consequences. Championed as a spur to rugged individualism, it has prompted communities like Preston to intensify government’s role in economic life." Read the Times article... <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> *The New Republic*, meanwhile, published "The Road Not Taken," a look at the struggles of Lordstown, Ohio in the wake of a decision by General Motors to close its auto plant there. The "road not taken," the article reveals, is the path of employee ownership, which The Next System Project director Joe Guinan and researcher Peter Gowan discuss in the article. “The workers should get a chance to come up with ideas for how they could keep their jobs, and give them the right to take over that plant if it’s being sold or closed,” says Gowan, author of the Right to Own report <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> that outlined the proposal. Read The New Republic article... <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> *New Book On How Public Finance Can Fuel Change* <https://thenextsystem.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e51d2c7d40bc9992285…> "The public does not have to rely on the private sector" to finance solutions to our problems, says a statement introducing a new book published by The Transnational Institute, *Public Finance for the Future We Want*. The book includes chapters written by Next System Project Research Director Thomas M. Hanna on "community wealth building and resilient local economies" and by energy and climate researcher Carla Santos Skandier on "a public buyout to keep carbon in the ground and dissolve climate opposition." The Democracy Collaborative is one of several co-publishers of the book, which is being offered free as a PDF download.

Fwd: Land for the Many
by Michel Bauwens 26 Jun '19

26 Jun '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Schumacher Center for a New Economics < schumacher(a)centerforneweconomics.org> Date: Tue, Jun 25, 2019 at 10:01 PM Subject: Land for the Many To: Michel Bauwens <michel(a)p2pfoundation.net> view this email in your browser <https://mailchi.mp/centerforneweconomics/land-for-many?e=58c6ab1e1c> <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…> <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…> The neighborhood of Lewisham, London, which received mayoral recognition for its CLT program. Dear Michel Bauwens, In a June 4, 2019 <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…>, article in *The* *Guardian*, George Monbiot comments: *What is the most neglected issue in British politics? I would say land. Literally and metaphorically, land underlies our lives, but its ownership and control have been captured by a tiny number of people. The results include soaring inequality and exclusion; the massive cost of renting or buying a decent home; the collapse of wildlife and ecosystems; repeated financial crises; and the loss of public space. Yet for 70 years this crucial issue has scarcely featured in political discussions. * *The Guardian *article coincided with the publication of a report for the Labour party – "Land for the Many <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…>" – written by Monbiot with six experts in the field with the aim to "put this neglected issue where it belongs: at the heart of political debate and discussion.” In Saturday’s online edition of the *The New York Times* and again in Sunday’s print version, Julie Turkewitz reports on "Who Gets to Own the West <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…>?" She details a trend in which newcomers to the “interior West” – including Idaho, Montana, and Colorado – are buying up large tracts of land. *Brokers say the new arrivals are driven in part by a desire to invest in natural assets while they are still abundant, particularly amid a fear of economic, political and climate volatility. “There is a tremendous underground, not-so-subtle awareness from people who realize that resources are getting scarcer and scarcer,” said Bernard Uechtritz, a real estate adviser*. Turkewitz references the Land Report <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…>, which tracks large land transactions and reports that just 100 families collectively own 42 million acres across the country – an expanse of 65,000 square miles, or 3 percent of all the privately held land in the US. Describing the consequences of this land rush, she writes, “In 2018, more than 20,000 Californians arrived in Idaho; home prices around Boise jumped 17%. This has meant not just new subdivisions and microbreweries, but also packed schools, crowded ski trails and heightened anxiety among teachers, plumbers and others, who are finding that they can no longer afford a first home.” <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…> Art space members rally to buy their own building through the Oakland CLT. At a time of ever greater concentration of land ownership, the need to broaden access to land is increasingly urgent. As both Monbiot and Turkewitz lay bare, land access lies at the heart of issues of equity, affordable housing, livable cities, regenerative agriculture, ecological restoration, renewable energy, social entrepreneurship and, we would add, reparations. Monbiot’s 75-page report provides detailed suggestions to the UK government to address this concentration of land ownership. Among them: *To help stabilise land prices and make homes more affordable, we propose a new body, called the Common Ground Trust. When people can’t afford to buy a home, they can ask the trust to purchase the land that underlies it, while they pay only for the bricks and mortar (about 30% of the cost). They then pay the trust a land rent. Their overall housing costs are reduced, while the trust gradually accumulates a pool of land that acts as a buffer against speculation, and creates common ownership on a large scale.* He also suggests, “We would like to use part of the Land Registry’s vast surplus to help community land trusts buy rural land for farming, forestry, conservation and rewilding." Community land trusts <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…>are proven vehicles for fairly allocating land in a place-based, democratic manner. The non-profit, regionally-based organizations, acquire land by gift or purchase, create a land use plan for each site, then lease the land on a 99-year basis for the designated use such as workforce housing, farming, manufacturing, local retail, or office space. Lessees own their buildings and other improvements, but not the land itself, which remains in a community commons. Buildings are resold at replacement value only, excluding the rising cost of land, and thus are kept more affordable for the next lessee. Accordingly, community land trusts are a tool for communities to control their own local economic development, and to allocate land in response to local social and economic conditions. <https://centerforneweconomics.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=69d509d1130…> NCLT one of the oldest CLTs in the country, holds land for farms and office buildings, as well as housing. However, the growth of community land trusts has been slow to reach a critical scale. Even if governments and foundations suddenly turned their collective resources to funding community land trusts, there would still not be enough working lands – lands suited for housing, farming, ranching, retail, manufacturing, and other commercial uses – held in community commons to accomplish broad land redistribution. It will take a wide-ranging movement of land gifting to effect change. In much the same way that conservation land trusts are recognized as reliable recipients of ecologically sensitive lands, community land trusts need to be understood as reliable recipients of working lands. This would mean expanding the growth and public profiles of community land trusts so that donors and their philanthropic advisors recognize community land trusts as trusted partners in achieving their long-term goals for use of a specific site, or for achieving their philanthropic goals such as security for women and girls, thriving local food systems, support for import-replacement, protecting the diversity of Main Streets, climate remediation, and more. Broadening access to land is thus not just an affordable housing issue, but one that encompasses many of the key environmental and social issues of our time. We propose an alliance of groups that would join together to encourage voluntary gifts of land to community land trusts – land redistribution on a scale that responds to the urgency of the issue in today's world. Monbiot concludes, “These proposals, we hope, will make the UK a more equal, inclusive and generous-spirited nation, characterised not by private enclosure and public squalor, but by private sufficiency and public luxury.

Fwd: Extinction Resilience!
by Michel Bauwens 25 Jun '19

25 Jun '19

---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Kosmos Journal <info(a)kosmosjournal.org> Date: Tue, Jun 25, 2019 at 2:00 PM Subject: Extinction Resilience! 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] Extinction Resilience! June 25th, 2019 *Editorial |** Resonance and Relationship* *In Kosmos Quarterly, Summer Edition* <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> We are losing treasure – species, ecosystems, and the essential fluids of our planet. If we think of these as separate elements – a species of turtle here, a rainforest there – then we are missing the real implications. Plants, animals, and minerals are interdependent members of their eco-communities and the family of Life. Everything exists in relationship. This is biology, not just philosophy. And now, biological and quantum theories of consciousness are reinforcing what the mystics have always known. Matter and mind are co-equal sides of the same coin. A new theory of resonance <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> (Tam Hunt, Jonathan Schooler), suggests that vibrational relationships underlie all physical processes, on a continuum of increasing richness, from sub-atomic to complex neural processes, and may be the very basis of consciousness. *This means all matter is conscious at some level. The consciousness of sand may be different than the consciousness of a panther…or a rainforest, but the creational energy of the entire universe vibrates in every subatomic particle that comprises it, and all matter resonates with this immanence.* We might even say that that *consciousness evolves through resonant relationships*. That is why, when we lose a species, consciousness itself is diminished. You can feel this reality in your own heart, when you learn that a species is gone. It’s like losing a part of yourself. Imagine the collective consciousness and ‘nature wisdom’ lost with the extinction of the West African black rhinoceros <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>, after 8 million years of evolution. What community of relationships vanished? Will songs of the black rhino still be sung? *UNTIL JULY 31, KOSMOS WILL DONATE HALF OF EVERY NEW SUBSCRIPTION DOLLAR TO THE CENTER FOR BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>, “saving wildlife, their habitats and the laws they depend on to survive.”* *SUBSCRIBE TODAY! <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>* When we think about ecocide, we often forget cultural ecocide. When places are poisoned, blasted, clear-cut, or turned to deserts, the *people* of those places – their stories, language, traditions and intimate knowledge of the land – disappear along with the plants, animals, and minerals. All of that connective tissue, where resonance resides, is obliterated. These losses can be subtle. Urban expansion and hunting have pushed chimpanzees, into shrinking preserves. Compared to chimpanzees in pristine forests, these ‘refugee’ chimps demonstrate far less learned behavior <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>. Since their DNA overlaps with humans by 98 percent, what do we suppose happens when humans are disconnected from nature, imprisoned, or forced to flee their homelands? Wisdom will tell you: our destruction of the Earth is damaging us – mind, body and spirit. *The articles in our summer edition of Kosmos Quarterly <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> *speak to these deeper issues of relationship. ‘All My Relations’, or in the *Lakota* language, *Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ, *is an important ceremonial prayer of harmony and oneness with all beings. It is a prayer that honors Life. *And there is so much Life still remaining to love, honor, and defend. Wherever damage is occurring, we can still work to reverse it. And what is intact, we can still protect. That is the spirit of the selfless work our beloved contributors share here.* *Pachamama Alliance* <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> and *PARCA* <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> are working to protect the Amazon rainforests and African rhinos respectively; John Liu describes work to restore the Sinai Peninsula; Sam Teicher, the coral reefs; and Laura Williams, forests in Portugal. There are stories of inter-species cooperation with wild boars in Pakistan, and not one but *two* talented musicians collaborating with nightingales: David Rothenberg and Sam Lee. Read about Sam Lee, Extinction Rebellion, and collaborating with nightingales in ‘*Birdsong Hits the Charts*‘ <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> Two articles – *Farming While Black* and *Plant-Based Medicine in Diaspora Communities* – remind us of the relationships between climate, food, race, and historic trauma, and the great healing potential that empowerment unleashes. Two more paired articles on Earth justice and Plant-based eating, offer mindfulness perspectives to help guide us in right action. This edition is also a special collaboration with *Tamera** Peace Research & Education Center* <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> in Portugal. They are calling activists from around the world to attend their August conference on resistance and regenerating the community of life <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>. Join Tamera and their work to build a planetary community of trust, shared ethics, prayer, vision, and action to serve global system change. All of this, and our beautiful poetry and art galleries too. Beauty will always be the heart of *Kosmos*. A common prayer of oneness in Buddhist traditions is, *may all beings be happy; may all beings be free; may all being be at peace. *It might be useful to add: *may all beings be* *in right relationship. *When we are in right relationship with the Earth and all beings, then peace, happiness and freedom are natural outcomes. *Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ! *Let us return to right relationship with the Earth. *Aho*! May it be so. – R. Fabian, for *Kosmos* The following articles, and many others <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…>, are freely available without a subscription – thanks to our generous Subscribers <https://kosmosjournal.us3.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a2e6f01f29f00e615c1…> . Sacred Headwaters of the Amazon | Waking Up to Pachamama A Conscious Conversation with Belén Páez and Bill Twist In the Summer Edition of Kosmos Quarterly Bill Twist | The area where we work, which has been called The Sacred Headwaters of the Amazon, is the most biodiverse area of the Amazon Basin. It’s still very resilient—there has been minimal human encroachment—but the indigenous people are aware of what’s going on in other parts of the world. And they know that if industrial-level extractivism moves into their territory, they will face species extinction and degradation of their territory’s natural ability to support life just as has happened in so many parts of the world. They are fiercely committed that that doesn’t happen in the area of the Sacred Headwaters.

Liu In the Summer Edition of Kosmos Quarterly For several hundred generations, humans have altered the habitat of living aquatic, plant, animal, bird, microbial, and fungal communities with devastating effects to the region’s ecology. Over historical time, the vegetative cover and evolutionary biodiversity of the Sinai has been in large part lost. Imagine the importance if it were possible to restore the region to ecological health.
