Las empresas que dicen tener “generosidad desinteresada” mientras “patrocinan” a los pueblos indígenas y la biosfera que su modelo de negocio destruye son dudosas … al igual que las ONG y otras que las sancionan.

Cartier es la única empresa de artículos de lujo que utiliza a los Yanomami como portavoces (¿vendedores?) De su negocio de joyas de oro y diamantes.

Pero usted … Si compra joyas de oro y diamantes, relojes y accesorios de Cartier y otros en la industria del lujo, o mercancía de oro y diamantes en puntos de venta o tiendas de descuento, también es cómplice de la destrucción…

Today, a timely and must-see documentary makes its debut. Totally Under Control, directed and produced by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney, Ophelia Harutyunya, and Suzanne Hillingers, chronicles the United States government’s abysmal failure at dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic. You can see it today via NEON’s digital store, YouTube, Vudu, Apple TV/iTunes, FandangoNow, and GooglePlay. And if you don’t want to rent it, it will be available to Hulu subscribers on October 20. If you don’t have Hulu you can sign up for a free month trial. I strongly encourage everyone to watch this if you can, especially in light of Mr. Trump and his administration’s continued reckless determination to not only put his supporters lives in danger, but any innocent people they go on to infect. It’s become obvious in the days following his diagnosis that he and many Republicans have no intention of learning from their mistakes and…

Listen!

CuriousNarrator

I strongly believe that your inner voice always guides you to the correct path. Whether we choose to listen to it or ignore it, is what entirely decides our destiny. If we ponder deeply inner voices correspond to the echo from our soul and our soul in the true sense is the iota of almighty.

Think about it! When we watch a movie or read a novel there often is this random character who due to some circumstantial developments is forced to rob or kill someone. On the contrary his instincts always guide him otherwise and he stands still at the spot for a couple of minutes but does it anyway which leads to the whole trail of wrong happenings. The same character submerged in retrospection later conveys his story to others guiltily repeating ‘only if I had listened to my inner voice…’

In today’s world where we humans unwisely…

Pelosi Statement on Supreme Court Ruling Ending Census Early | Speaker Nancy Pelosi

“The Supreme Court’s decision to enable the President’s shameful campaign to curtail the Census is regrettable and disappointing.  The President’s attack on the Census count and his refusal to provide time beyond December 31 for submission of the Census report clearly violate the Constitutional mandate enshrined by our Founders for a fair and accurate Census.  Further, the President’s actions threaten to politically and financially exclude many in America’s most vulnerable communities from our democracy. “The Trump effort to end the Census early has been resoundingly rejected by experts, including in the Government Accountability Office, Commerce Department Inspector General and Census Scientific Advisory Committee, who all warn that the accelerated schedule will result in an inaccurate Census that will deny vulnerable communities the representation and funds they are entitled to.  Specifically, the Census Bureau officials have stated that curtailing the Census is ‘ludicrous’ and will result in ‘fatal data flaws that are unacceptable for a constitutionally mandated national activity.’ “The House of Representatives will continue to fight in the Courts and in the Congress to ensure
