Articles for today:
Making power explicit in sustainable water innovation: re-linking subjectivity, institution and structure through environmental citizenship
'I do therefore there is': enlivening socio-environmental theory
Against ecological sovereignty: Agamben, politics and globalisation
Last Night's Address: Yes, Mr. President. More money for loans to create solvency for banks to lend for more spending. Encourage savings to capitalize banks? Meh. Allen White drops on this tip in his note to the NYT regarding Japan's Lost Decade: "Perhaps the current recession is a time for American consumers to rethink what well-being really means"
I was looking forward to hearing comments coming out of the 'The Beirut International Forum for Resistance, Anti-Imperialism, Solidarity between Peoples and Alternatives.' I was not expecting this speech, given by Nadine Rosa-Rosso, opened my eyes to the continued influence of what appear to be an old Left guard that continue to strangle the far Left. The racist, xenophobic and contradictory position of the old Left (criticism of imperialism but resistant to support for Hamas or Hezbollah due to religious overtones) is built upon a misreading of Marx, "[religion] is the opium of the people." His full passage reads:
Another great post at The Oil Drum, this one a reverse engineered analysis of the IEA's detailed decline analysis (decline of oil reserves and production). Also, pretty charts:
Ok, so please watch this video shot in the finals moments of the NYU Kimmel occupation before reading discussion below:
The Painful Last Minutes of the NYU Kimmel Occupation
I encountered this video through a number of channels yesterday, but it was the very lengthy discussion on a particular message board that really made it hang around in my head all day. There are a number of issues at work and things worth commenting on. I will work on this throughout today and in the next couple days. There is something crucial here.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people.”
