By way of example he cites Robert Carter III – of whom I had not heard – who was the only one of the US’s founding fathers to free his slaves. “For having committed this unforgivable sin he was condemned to historical oblivion.”
Who, I ask, is responsible for this forgetfulness? “It’s not a person,” he explains. “It’s a system of power that is always deciding in the name of humanity who deserves to be remembered and who deserves to be forgotten … We are much more than we are told. We are much more beautiful.”

But one Ghanaian campaign group refused the invitation. “Our call for a moratorium on GM foods was met with an invitation to a closed-door discussion,” said Duke Tagoe, of Food Sovereignty Ghana, which campaigns for greater transparency about GM foods. “We are deeply worried about what seems like an imposition of genetically modified foods on the good people of Ghana without any meaningful public discourse, compounded by attempts to stifle any opposition.”
Food Sovereignty Ghana and other domestic organisations accuse the US and other foreign donors of promoting GM foods to west African countries, and tying aid to implementation.

According to a leaked cable, the US government was heavily involved in drafting Ghana’s 2011 Biosafety Act, which provided a framework for the introduction of GM foods. The US aid department provided technical assistance and some funding.
Big pharma mobilising patients in battle over drugs trials data | Business | The Guardian

The [leaked] memo, from Richard Bergström, director general of EFPIA, went to directors and legal counsel at Roche, Merck, Pfizer, GSK, AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, Novartis and many smaller companies. It was leaked by a drugs company employee.
The email describes a four-pronged campaign that starts with “mobilising patient groups to express concern about the risk to public health by non-scientific re-use of data”. Translated, that means patient groups go into bat for the industry by raising fears that if full results from drug trials are published, the information might be misinterpreted and cause a health scare.
The lobbying is targeted at Europe where the European Medicines Agency (EMA) wants to publish all of the clinical study reports that companies have filed, and where negotiations around the clinical trials directive could force drug companies to publish all clinical trial results in a public database.

In 2003, two dozen or so CIA agents kidnapped an Egyptian citizen from a street in Milan where he was living after Italy granted him asylum from persecution by the US-allied Mubarak regime. The CIA then rendered their kidnapped victim back to Egypt where he was interrogated and tortured. Italian authorities criminally charged the CIA agents with kidnapping, and after the US refused to turn them over for trial, they were convicted in abstentia. One of them, Milan CIA station chief Robert Lady, was sentenced to several years in prison. I wrote about that case, and US behavior in it, several months ago: here.
Lady ended up in Panama, and when the Italians learned of this, they requested his extradition to Italy. The US government intervened and applied significant pressure to Panamanian officials, who, yesterday, predictably released Lady and put him on a plane back to the US. The next time the US lectures the world about the rule of law and need for accountability, I’m sure this incident will be on many people’s minds. It should be.
On a la mémoire courte. Mais en effet, rappel tout à fait pertinent de la part de Greenwald.
En 2003, des agents de la CIA ont kidnappé en Italie un égyptien qui avait obtenu l’asile en Italie. Les agents de la CIA l’ont renvoyé à Mubarak pour qu’il y soit promptement et justement torturé dans le respect des droits de l’homme et de la démocratie... Pas de paix pour les méchâââânts, comme dirait Obama (ironie)...
Le responsable du bureau de la CIA en Italie en 2003 a été coincé au Panama par une demande d’extradition italienne, il a été en effet condamné par la justice italienne pour cet enlèvement. Les US ont fait ce qu’il fallait (pressions) pour que la demande d’extradition ne suive pas son cours. La morale était sauve, donc, pour les gentils (ironie).

The Egyptian authorities have targeted the underground passages as part of a drive to regain control of the vast Sinai desert, whose population is hostile to Cairo.
At the height of the black market trade between Gaza and Egypt there were thought to be more than 1,000 tunnels employing around 7,000 people – providing Hamas with an income from taxes and permits of millions of dollars a month, estimated at 40% of the government’s revenue. But Egypt is thought to have closed or destroyed around 80% of the tunnels.

The Australia-Papua New Guinea Refugee Resettlement Agreement
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has just announced a unique agreement with the government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) in which boat people interdicted on the high seas headed for Australia to seek asylum will instead be shunted to processing camps in PNG. If determined to be legitimate refugees, they will be resettled there, instead of Australia. Already the hue-and-cry against Rudd’s policy has begun by immigrant advocacy groups in Australia.

The first group of 40 people have arrived in Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, on August 1, formally bringing into effect the Regional Settlement Arrangement agreed on July 19.
Refugee claims from the single adult men, who were transferred from Christmas Island, will be assessed under PNG law and, if found to be refugees, the men will be settled in PNG.
This demonstrates that if you come to Australia by boat without a visa, you will not be settled here.
Transfers to the Manus Island Regional Processing Centre will continue regularly.

Dream of a new life lay dashed on Manus Island
First the people smugglers separated husband and wife. Now the PNG solution has made it final.
More than 3000 kilometres of ocean lies between Gita* in Brisbane and husband Behrad* on Manus Island.
Behrad had been among boat people who landed on Christmas Island 13 days ago – four months behind his wife and two days after the Rudd government’s July 19 cutoff for asylum seekers hoping to settle in Australia. On Friday morning the 36-year-old arrived at the detention centre on Manus Island in Papua New Guinea, the country he may have to call home for the rest of his life.

It is a few days after Prime Minister Kevin Rudd announced his “PNG solution” to his latest political crisis, whereby no asylum seeker arriving by boat will be settled in Australia. My friend and colleague Karapanagiotidis, the founder and CEO of the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC), shows a rare moment of doubt and confusion. But it doesn’t last long before he’s thumping the table, remarshalling his forces.

Citation :
But bringing up the colonial past can also normalise or nativise settler colonisation, and erase Indigenous subjectivity and sovereignty in slogans like ‘we are all boat people’. A focus on the moment of invasion or on the colonial past positions colonisation as history. It makes colonialisation a done deal, to which the only sensible responses are regret and apology, or pride and forgetfulness – but Australia has a colonial present. The border is not a natural or inevitable thing and neither is colonisation.
Understanding colonisation as an ongoing and always incomplete process suggests a future that’s open to change. It shifts the onus of explanation to those who want to create and maintain borders rather than those who want to question them. It challenges the myth that refugees are a breach in an otherwise secure border. And it reaches through to a space where white Australia is and can only ever be a fiction that is made material through violence.

There is a sea change in the relations between western and Middle Eastern countries in progress which is both welcome and unwelcome. It is welcome because it is the beginning of the end for the residual colonialism which still marks western attitudes toward the region. The governments and the peoples of the region are making their own decisions, good or bad, with less and less reference to what outsiders, including the United States, desire. It is unwelcome because the resulting conflicts and crises seem to precisely demand that outsiders offer help. Yet the record of the outsiders, not just the long historical record, but the more immediate one, has plainly been littered with dismal mistakes.

Vatican offers ’time off purgatory’ to followers of Pope Francis tweets
Papal court handling pardons for sins says contrite Catholics may win ’indulgences’ by following World Youth Day on Twitter
In its latest attempt to keep up with the times the Vatican has married one of its oldest traditions to the world of social media by offering “indulgences” to followers of Pope Francis’ tweets.
The church’s granted indulgences reduce the time Catholics believe they will have to spend in purgatory after they have confessed and been absolved of their sins.
The remissions got a bad name in the Middle Ages because unscrupulous churchmen sold them for large sums of money. But now indulgences are being applied to the 21st century.

The UK Department for International Development (DfID) and USAid, the American aid agency, have been accused of ignoring evidence of human rights abuses allegedly linked to their support for a multibillion-dollar social services programme in Ethiopia.
A report published on Wednesday by the US-based thinktank the Oakland Institute details a long list of grievances presented to aid officials from the UK and US by communities in the Lower Omo Valley in southern Ethiopia. They claim they suffered intimidation, beatings, rape, forced evictions and other abuses as a result of the government’s controversial “#villagisation” resettlement programme, which seeks to clear land to make way for commercial investments.
Colombian farmers face displacement, disappearances and disputes over land | Catalina Ballesteros Rodriguez | Global development | guardian.co.uk
▻http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2013/jul/18/colombian-farmers-disputes-land
The events in Catatumbo are all too typical of Colombia’s conflict over land, which has left the country with the world’s highest number of internally displaced people and a rising death toll.
Concentration of land ownership has increased, fuelled by the forced displacement of rural communities, which has affected an estimated 10% of the population.
More than 16,000 people have “disappeared” in land disputes and there have been an estimated 1,600 extrajudicial executions. Many of the disputes centre on claims to land that communities were forced to abandon, which subsequently fell into the hands of businesses.
Unequal land ownership deprives rural farmers of a livelihood and perpetuates income inequality. Additionally, by reducing the land available for small-scale farmers to produce food for subsistence, unequal land ownership contributes to food insecurity, resulting in malnutrition, anaemia, calcium deficiencies and hunger.

A propos de la décision de l’Union européenne de rendre inéligible « les entités israéliennes et leurs activités dans les territoires occupés par Israël depuis Juin 1967 pour des bourses, prix et instruments financiers fondés par l’UE, à partir de 2014 »
une précision de Dominique Vidal sur Facebook (mais qui devrait poster sur seenthis plutôt mais bon :) )
- Le 30 juin dernier, la Commission européenne a adopté une note sur « l’éligibilité des entités israéliennes et leurs activités dans les territoires occupés par Israël depuis Juin 1967 pour des bourses, prix et instruments financiers fondés par l’UE, à partir de 2014 », selon un communiqué de la délégation de l’UE en Israël.
– Il ne s’agit pas d’une nouvelle directive, applicable dans les Etats membres, mais de « codes de conduite », qui réaffirment, clarifient la loi européenne existante. Ils ont bien une portée obligatoire et concernent les institutions de l’UE jusqu’en 2020. Les Etats membres devraient certainement endosser ces codes de conduite dans le futur. Pour l’UE, le « but de ces codes de conduite est de faire la distinction entre l’Etat d’Israel et les territoires occupés, lorsqu’il s’agit du soutien européen ».
– Le code de conduite, qui prend effet le 1er janvier 2014, implique concrètement que tout accord ou contrat signé entre l’UE et Israël inclue une clause selon laquelle les colonies ne font pas partie de l’Etat d’Israël et ne font donc pas partie de l’accord. Seules les entités légales sont visées et non les personnes.
– La décision européenne a été vécue comme un « tremblement de terre » par le gouvernement israélien. Pour le vice-ministre des Affaires étrangères israélien, Zeev Elkin, Israël ne signerait aucun accord contenant une telle clause. « Jusqu’à aujourd’hui, il existait un accord implicite que l’Union ne travaillait pas au-delà de la Ligne verte, c’est maintenant devenu un politique officielle et obligatoire », selon un haut fonctionnaire israélien. Benyamin Nétanyahou a réagi au texte en assurant que son gouvernement n’accepterait pas de "diktats de l’extérieur sur nos frontières". Le gouvernement israélien a semble t-il été surpris par la publication de ces codes de conduite et ne s’attendait pas à ce qu’elles soient aussi détaillés et pratiques.
– Dans un article du Haaretz, un haut fonctionnaire des Etats-Unis affirme que l’UE pourrait aller plus loin sur l’administration américaine échouait à faire évoluer le dossier.

The European Union has dealt a harsh blow to the Israeli settlement enterprise in a directive that insists all future agreements between the EU and Israel must explicitly exclude Jewish colonies in the West Bank or East Jerusalem.
The move, described by an Israeli official as an “earthquake”, prompted furious criticism from the Israeli prime minister over “external diktats”.
But it was hailed by Palestinians and their supporters as a significant political and economic sanction against settlements.
