Ike Barinholtz interview

Interview0 Comments

Bloomberg interview

Interview0 Comments

Klein says that the current economic model is threatening life on earth, including human life. These are the topics covered in her new book, This Changes Everything: Capitalism Vs Climate.

Our economic system and our planetary system are now at war. Or, more accurately, our economy is at war with many forms of life on earth, including human life. What the climate needs to avoid collapse is a contraction in humanity’s use of resources; what our economic model needs to avoid collapse is unfettered expansion. Only one of these sets of rules can be changed, and it’s not the laws of nature.

‘Kill Americans and Europeans’

Makes Statement0 Comments

ISIS issues a decree calling on its followers to kill Westerners. It is the first official declaration of war against the West by the extremist group. Spokesman Abu Muhammad al-Adnani ash-Shami:

If you can kill an American or European infidel – especially the spiteful and cursed French – or an Australian or a Canadian, or any other disbeliever from the infidel fighters … then rely upon God and kill them in any way possible. Do not consult with anyone and do not seek anyone’s advice. Whether they are civilian or military, the same ruling applies.
