    Disrupting the nitrogen cycle: Articles on a major metabolic rift

    25 October 2019 — Climate & Capitalism

    Metabolic Rift

    How the global nitrogen cycle has been disrupted by an economic system that values profits more than life itself.


    I’ve been very pleased by the positive comments I’ve received from C&C readers about my articles on the disruption of the nitrogen cycle. Several of you asked to have them all accessible from one place, so they could share the link with others. Here they are.

    Britain obstructs Spanish investigation into CIA spying on Julian Assange By Oscar Grenfell

    26 October 2019 — WSWS

    In a blatant attempt to obstruct justice, British judicial authorities are stymying an investigation into the US Central Intelligence Agency’s (CIA) illegal spying on WikiLeaks’ publisher Julian Assange. El Pais reported on Wednesday that a request by Spanish judge José de la Mata to interview Assange via videolink had been rejected by the United Kingdom Central Authority last month. De la Mata is investigating a complaint by Assange’s lawyers alleging that UC Global, the private company hired to provide security to Ecuador’s London embassy, illegally surveilled him on behalf of US authorities while he was protected with political asylum inside the building.

    Trump and NY Times Admit US Imperialist War in Syria By Finian Cunningham

    25 October 2019 — Strategic Culture Foundation

    From extraordinary candid admissions made separately by US President Donald Trump and the New York Times, there can be no illusion about what American forces are really deployed in Syria for. It’s an illegal occupation against the Syrian government and in particular to deprive the Arab country of its oil resources.<

    The top 1% own 45% of all global personal wealth; 10% own 82%; the bottom 50% own less than 1%

    25 October 2019 — Michael Roberts Blog

    blogging from a marxist economist

    The annual Credit Suisse report on global wealth has just been released. This report remains the most comprehensive and explanatory analysis of global wealth (not income) and inequality of wealth. Every year the CS global wealth report analyses the household wealth of 5.1 billion people across the globe. Household wealth is made up of the financial assets (stocks, bonds, cash, pension funds) and property (houses etc) owned.  And the report measures this net of debt. The report’s authors are James Davies, Rodrigo Lluberas and Anthony Shorrocks.  Professor Anthony Shorrocks was my university flatmate, where we both graduated in economics (although he has the much better mathematical skills!).

    New review shows exposure to the herbicide could have “implications for overall long-term colony survival”

    A new review of the scientific literature (see abstract below) has found that exposure to glyphosate, the active ingredient in glyphosate herbicides like Roundup, impairs the foraging behaviour of honeybee workers and has adverse effects at different levels within the colony.

    Movie Review: The struggle to live in the present

    25 October 2019 — MROnline

    wark_extract_photo-.jpgOriginally published: Verso by McKenzie Wark (October 18, 2019)

    Many of my friends disliked it, and not without reason. And yet Raoul Peck’s film The Young Karl Marx seemed to me to get the essential thing right.1 I saw it as a film about the struggle to live in the present. As such, it’s a film that can help us do exactly that. The Young Karl Marx is fiction, but like all good fiction is more real than the documentary evidence on which it is based. It tells us not what actually happened, but a version of what happened with which to think what is happening now. In that sense, it is a species of realism.2 And in another sense too. It is a work of cinema. It is in Pasolini’s terms (and Barad’s also) cut from the real itself.

    British Workers By Tony Norfield

    22 October 2019 — Economics of Imperialism

    As we wait impatiently while the Brits go through the interminable travail of Brexit, let us have a look at who they are. Not directly in a social, cultural or political sense, but by reviewing the data on UK employment. Work gives a foundation for people’s daily lives and will, in turn, have an impact on society, culture and politics. The employment numbers challenge the conceptions of many, especially those with a narrow ‘industrial’ view of the British working class. They also highlight that a surprising number of people, for various reasons, are not working at all, and that UK residents originally from other European Union countries are more likely to be employed than indigenous Brits.

    Black Agenda Report 23 October 2019: Nobody Gets Liberated Until the Defeat of the Plutocrats / Freedom Rider: The Return of Hillary Clinton…

    23 October 2019 — Black Agenda Report

    Contrary to erroneous info displayed on Eventbrite, there are still seats available for BAR’s 13th Anniversary Celebration , Saturday, Oct 26, at the People’s Forum in New York City.
    JUST SHOW UP AT THE DOOR AT 6pm, AND YOU’LL BE WELCOMED

    Every year presents new challenges to those struggling for human liberation. For Black Agenda Report, the essential task remains the same as when we published our first issue, on October 26, 2006: to sustain a radical, Black-led publication that can effectively intervene in the great debates of our time. We believe BAR has helped shape the Black Left political debate in this turbulent era of late stage, imperial capitalism – a period of economic catastrophe for Black and poor Americans, political disarray among “progressives,” and escalating lawlessness in U.S. foreign policy. Through it all, BAR has steadily increased both our audience and our capabilities, while waging weekly political battle with the ruling Lords of Capital, the ever-conniving “Black Misleadership Class,” and those who would “sheep-dog” the Left into alliance with corporate forces.

    AP: Ecuador deal cancels austerity plan, ends indigenous protest AP piece in the LA Times (10/14/19)

    Bernie Sanders tweeted an Associated Press article in the LA Times (10/14/19) about Ecuador’s recent protests, in which eight protesters were killed in 11 days. “Economic elites keep pushing austerity worldwide, making life unbearable for working people,” Sanders declared. Unfortunately, that AP piece was itself a good example of how elites push for austerity.

The richest 1% owns more than TWICE as much wealth as 6.9 billion people and the super-rich one percent of the world’s population has accumulated twice as much wealth as the remaining 90 percent, global charity Oxfam said in a newly-released report. The world’s richest 1% emit double the carbon of the poorest 50%, the 2020 Oxfam study found.
