Grinning Planet Introduction — The US Congress, US presidents, the USDA, the FDA, and other government agencies have been promoting the interests of Big Ag and Big Pharma for quite some time now. Similar corp-gov integration has happened in the EU as well, and in both regions, the "corruptocracy" has gotten bolder and more dastardly in recent years. We offer a few discussions on the problem.

James Colquhoun: Food, Pharma, and Health — 24 Jul 2011 — James Colquhoun, director of the film Food Matters, talks about how Big Pharma suppresses natural remedies in favor of drugs that merely eradicate symptoms rather than cure diseases. From the industry's perspective, the "perfect drug" is one that will "keep you sick, listless, and disinterested for as long as possible so you can consume it for as long as possible." Colquhoun emphasizes that the best approach to actually treating these issues is through nutrition and natural remedies.

Andrew Gause on the New Federal Reserve Audit — 27 Jul 2011 — Gause reviews the findings of the recently released audit of the Federal Reserve's actions over the last three years. Among the findings: there was an unpublicized 16-trillion dollar bailout of banks and large corporations (but mostly big banks). Gause also discusses the interesting coincidence that every president who has challenged the bankers' power to profit from the creation of US dollars has ended up assassinated.

Andrew Gause: Debt Deal is Only 15 Days' Worth of Cuts — 03 Aug 2011 — Gause does the math on the just-inked debt deal and concludes that the actual cuts amount to only 15 days' worth of federal spending, and then back to business as usual. And the usual business is inflating. Gause also discusses the power behind the puppets—the "400 families." And oh-by-the-way—the "debt deal" does nothing to the federal debt; it only makes a minor reduction in the annual deficits.

David Hughes: Peak Oil + Peak Coal = Big Problem — 20 Jul 2011 — David Hughes offers a fact-filled review of demand for oil and coal vs. supply and reserves. He concludes that the scale of current fossil fuel usage is such that the physical limits of scalability will disallow a ramping up of renewables in time to meet the peaking of non-renewables. That means we have a painful adjustment period coming.

Rob Hopkins: New Thinking in Transition — 18 Jul 2011 — Hopkins, the founder of the transition movement, provides a status update. Among his points are: While "green groups" may seem like natural allies, and in many cases share common goals, associating transition efforts too closely with environmental activists may end up with the transition group inappropriately and unhelpfully being seen as just another green group. He also thinks transition groups need to move beyond preaching about peak oil and climate change and focus more on the benefits of localism.
