Amazing. Thnx for posting these, Freek. I have not had the time and some of the speakers are a little over my head, but this was really interesting. I've read and heard a lot of 9/11 truthers, I'll have to research this guy a bit more, he seems pretty solid.
If you want to get into what Ruppert is all about, I'd check out his website even though it's not being updated anymore, and look at his January 2005 speech in Seattle, where he tries to lay out a map of world geopolitics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fy9JCDchk34&hl=nl
His style here is a little dramatic as Bush was just reelected, and sometimes he is smug about being right before, but he predicted the 2008 oil shortage and collapse of the bubble economy perfectly, among many other things. Definitely worthwhile.
This page is meant to collect and synthesise perspectives and knowledge that are relevant to making sense out of what is going on in the world today. We, the present generations, find ourselves in a world of immense and growing inequalities, ecological overshoot, absurd power relations and bursting bubbles. In short, in a world of failing structures and systems. But in order to do better for ourselves we need to find out what is going wrong, why, and what is possible instead of the political, economic, ecological and social systems that are in place now.
I will be writing reviews for books that deserve attention, linking news items, articles, documentaries and online lectures by the most insightful speakers. I will also write blog articles. On the basis of all this there is room for serious discussion. Questions, links, tips and commentary are encouraged.
Hopefully this collection will, in time, serve as a waypoint for people who, like me, want to make sense out of a system falling apart. As Slavoj Žižek turned Marx upside down:
'To change the world, we first need to interpret it!'
That is what this page is for; to help me and you to sharpen the critical perspectives that are needed to make the world a better place. We must ask what kinds of better worlds are possible, and how they are possible.
Welcome to my corner of the web, and if you like it, please share it with your friends or fellow students.
