New Odyssey, OLD SOUP.

I thought this video (below) was taken on March 21st from one of Gaddafi mercenary forces' mobiles (source: twitter, then through AlJazeera English)
Now, WHY does @BBCNews use it as NEW to report on the new NATO leadership?
Are they trying to show fire power to scared senile rulers (including their own)?

I am also quite tired to see the same reports in rotation over and over again, but proposed as LIVE. The same goes for interviews, phone calls, re-cycling of Internet videos and images and any other source that is not "fresh".

Please, put date, time & source on your images, will you?

Yelling "breaking news!" with old news is debasing. I just tune somewhere else (not necessarily on TV).

Also, if all you have is a one-liner from the press release, there is no need to fake a full report with old-fish pictures. Stinks even from my side of the screen.

ABC, BBC, CNN, EuroNews, SKY News, blah blah blah very little difference. Sometimes, even the same news order.

I was taught to read the news since I was a naive little boy, and I believe I built a genuine criticism to discern facts of life (as the media should report them) from MASS MEDIA SCRIPTS that I would be supposed to assimilate & repeat.

Sorry, I do not buy that.
Rather, talk to the people in the Jasmine Universities.

A big, big heart

Children are the future of this world.

How can a first world country army "detain" a child? And, even worse, how can they torture that child and have their crimes remain unpunished? And maybe just because he was born in the "wrong" quarter, he was taught to throw stones to the "enemy", he was told the enemy was Israel, and he didn't have to wait too long to see how its army treats the locals.
If you are taught of violence, there is still a chance for you to forget. But if you've lived it, it's yours forever.
And if you've grown up playing warlords with *real* guns and mortars, what will you do when you see your child, your wife, your people are at risk?
What will you do to face daily abuse, illegal land expropriation, torture, and warcrimes, when you are thought the only choice is war?
If you knew there is another way, one that is not violent yet not less harsh, one that will not let you down like cheap weapons but will put a stop to the abuse and create a legal base to protect you, one that liberated more than a billion people from the strongest empire, would you take it? Would you teach it to your friends & family? Would you?

This is a time of change, where people are gaining unity and consciousness.
And yet those who affirm to be chosen by god, or to be the chosen people, commit crimes that are worth its wrath.
And thanks to nowadays' laws & real-time media, whoever sistematically tortures families and children because of their origin or etnic group CAN BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE. A justice where weapons stay silent, and human rights are respected.

XXX 2GO

«Many pornographers worry that the move could ghettoise their content. Religious groups have argued that giving pornography sites their own domain legitimises the content».
Is it not a multi-billionaire business?
What is all the fuss about this, if I (an adult) get continuously poked by porn advertising while googling for programming code, or even in many markets and newsagents? How can I protect my (future) child from this?
Porn exists because people buy it. The only way to control it and regulate it is to accept its existence and popularity.

Social Media in motion.

Now, that's very cool, but a bit scary for the privacy paranoid...

The way we were, the way we are.

Primitive tribes exist.
Now we have a unique irreplaceable opportunity to combine archaeologists' findings with a _witness_experience_
Very few of the old Amazon tribes survived our invasion, due to either our weapons, our infections, our "one loving god", "corrective" methods, or the exploitation of their land for the wealth of the west & far east.
Today, while I write, these tribes witness our best corporate mercenaries destroying their land in the name of fire logs.
We KNOW this is happening, and yet we do not act.

Today we could do something that would give us hundreds of years of knowledge and prosperity, and, for once, fulfil the one last chance not to annihilate all that we do not understand.

Not-so-far old times advertisements

I came across these ads (thanks Isa :)) and they make me think that we give out about other cultures of the world because we too easily forget where we came from.
