Although Barack Obama and Mitt Romney sprinkle their speeches with mentions of energy and climate, they have remained stubbornly silent on the immediate and profound task of phasing out a carbon-based economy. Their failure to connect the dots and do the math imperils our nation and prevents the development of a national and global plan to respond to the most urgent challenge of our era. It's time for their climate silence to end.
The graph below depicts select major statements related to climate change by President Obama and Governor Romney dating back to the 2008 presidential campaign. Please view the data page for a comprehensive list of their statements and our methodology.

Nabi Saleh - a new campaign was launched called ‘Refusing to Die in Silence’, which documents and confronts colonist “settler” attacks on unarmed citizens in the West Bank. The project aims to warn the colonists and make them feel pressured by the presence of media crews ready to document the attacks..... The group uses a coordinated system of cars and video cameras to monitor, respond to and intervene in settler attacks occurring this September across the West Bank. Speaking of the need for the group this September, Bil’in resident Mohammed Khatib of the Popular Struggle Coordination Committee noted on the committee’s website that "If anyone needed further proof that Palestinians cannot count on Israeli authorities to prevent settler violence, recent events show beyond doubt why we need to organize to defend ourselves. This is exactly what these volunteers will do in a civic and peaceful manner". http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/recent-news/43012-refusing-to-die-in-silenceNabi Saleh - a new campaign was launched called ‘Refusing to Die in... more

"Full with Noise,..." is about noise music, specifically the version that has come to be called Japanese Noise -- itself composed of many different strands. The first half deals with the question of noise. What is it, whose is it, and how can we think about it. Also, how does noise inflect our thinking, rather than being an object; at what point does noise lose its noiseness and become meaning, music, signification? Or -- is there even a point where noise can subsist? Mostly, the text below takes the view that noise is a function of not-noise, itself a function of not being noise. Noise is no more original than music or meaning, and yet its position is to indicate the banished, overcome primordiality, and cannot lose this 'meaning'. Noise, then, is neither the outside of language nor music, nor is it simply categorisable, at some point or other, as belonging exclusively to the world of meaning, understanding, truth and knowledge. Instead, noise operates as a function of differance. http://www.makeahistory.com/index.php/album-rewievs/42968-full-with-noise-theory-and-japanese-noise-music"Full with Noise,..." is about noise music, specifically the version that... more

Person Yells “Konnichiwa Bitches!” & "U.S.A." During Moment Of Silence For Japan at Soccer Game
Last night, Argentina played the U.S. in a soccer friendly at the Meadowlands. It ended in a 1-1 draw. From the U.S. team’s perspective…we’d think it would be hard to get too disappointed when you play a team with Lionel Messi on it and don’t lose. The U.S. fans, on the other hand, provided a moment to forget before the game even started.
That came via a pregame moment of silence for Japan. Holding the moment of silence was a classy move, seeing as how that country is experiencing unfathomable devastation only compounded by nuclear radiation worries.Person Yells “Konnichiwa Bitches!” & "U.S.A." During Moment... more

From Remigiusz Sowa best Documentary Transmitter Award winner at the Crystal Palace International Film Festival; a truly remarkable story of Father Lazarus El Anthony, university lecturer, Marxist who abandoned his life in Australia and went in search of God and freedom. His pilgrimage eventually brought him to a life of a Christian Coptic monk and live in solitude on the Al-Qalzam Mountain (Egypt) in the pursuit of what the Desert Fathers called apatheia, holy stillness.

The New Jerusalem
"The former things have passed away," and "all things are become new . . . . Whereas I was blind, now I see," and not "through a glass, darkly," but "face to face." Yes, even in my flesh, I have seen God. The hills have rolled away, and there is no more horizon, but the light of heaven makes all things plain.
Long have I sought thee, O Jerusalem, but only now have my pilgrim feet touched the soil of heaven. The waste places are no more. Fertile lands are before me, the like of which I have never dreamed. Oh truly "There shall be no night there." The glory of it shines as the noon day sun, and there is no need of light for God is the light thereof.
I sit down to rest. In the shade of trees, I rest and find my peace in Thee. Within Thy grace is peace, O Lord. In the world I was weary--in Thee I have found rest.
In the dense forest of words I was lost; in the letter of truth was tiredness and fear, but in Thy Spirit only are shade and water and rest.
How far I have wandered from Thy Spirit, O Tender One and True, how far, how far! How deeply lost in the maze of words, words, words! But now I am returned, and in Thy Spirit shall I ever find my life, my peace, my strength. Thy Spirit is the bread of life, finding which I shall never hunger. Thy Spirit is a wellspring of water, and drinking it I shall never thirst.
As a weary wanderer I have sought Thee, and now my weariness is gone. Thy Spirit has formed a tent for me, and in its cool shade I linger and peace fills my soul. Thy presence has filled me with peace. Thy love has placed before me a feast of Spirit. Yea, Thy Spirit is my resting place, an oasis in the desert of the letter of truth.
In Thee will I hide from the noise of the world of argument; in Thy consciousness find surcease from the noisomeness of men's tongues. They divide Thy garment, O Lord of Peace, they quarrel over Thy word--yea, until it becomes words and no longer the Word.
As a beggar have I sought the new heaven and the new earth, and Thou hast made me heir of all.
How shall I stand before Thee but in silence? How shall I honor Thee but in the meditation of mine heart?
Praise and thanksgiving Thou seekest not, but the understanding heart Thou receivest.
I will keep silent before Thee. My Soul and my Spirit and my Silence shall be Thy dwelling place. Thy Spirit shall fill my meditation, and it shall make me and preserve me whole. O Thou Tender One and True--I am home in Thee.T h e I n f i n i t e W a y
