TODAY is my last day at Goldman Sachs. After almost 12 years at the firm - first as a summer intern while at Stanford, then in New York for 10 years, and now in London - I believe I have worked here long enough to understand the trajectory of its culture, its people and its identity. And I can honestly say that the environment now is as toxic and destructive as I have ever seen it.
Last week I received a map of Iran surrounded by countries such as Kuwait, Iraq, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, and countries across the Gulf like Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, UAE and Oman. In these countries were a total of 45 black dots, each representing a US Military Base, and the caption read "Who Is Threatening Whom?"
Eva Bartlett, who earned her reputation as "Canada's Rachel Corrie" from about three years as an International Solidarity Movement (ISM) volunteer in Gaza, said that because the corporate media throughout the western world almost exclusively propagates the Israeli position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this same media turns around and asks: "Where are the Palestinian Gandhis?"
Former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney has demonstrated over and over that he has no qualms about putting others in harm's way, but - as his cancelling of his Toronto appearance illustrates - he's willing to take very little risk with his own safety.
The exponential increase in the usage of wireless communication technology in the last 30 years will continue. This is characterized by (1) an increase in the number of users, (2) an increase in the intensity of the microwave radiation associated with mobile devices and base stations to accommodate a higher functionality, (3) an increase in the average exposure-time per day per person due to the higher dependence on mobile devices in everyday life, and (4) an increase in the number of users among children and teenagers.
The Lankin-Sheikh commission to review Ontario social assistance has produced a second discussion paper, Approaches for Reform, to encourage further submissions prior to their final report in June. Their discussion paper is unfortunately focused on a largely economic analysis of the program. What are lacking are historical, social, psychological, and public health considerations.
For years the Harper government fought fiercely against the gun registry, claiming it invaded the privacy of law-abiding citizens, but now it plans to implement far more invasive and pervasive legislation.
The call of the rich Arab states to arm opposition forces is putting Syria on the road to disaster. They are not doing this because they side with a people's revolution, or because they love democracy, but because they hate Iran.
The January/February issue of Foreign Affairs featured the article "Time to Attack Iran: Why a Strike Is the Least Bad Option," by Matthew Kroenig, along with commentary about other ways to contain the Iranian threat.
This is a tale of two political scandals. Both strike at the heart of our democracy.
