Our challenge today is not only to make sense of our increasingly complex world and find our bearings amidst the rapidly accelerating pace of change, but we also need to keep a centered and balanced inner perspective in front of the smorgasborg of information of all kinds and on so many issues demanding our attention and, when possible, our enlightened action to help make this world a better place for all - all humans, all life forms, all future generations. Here is another rich assortment of helpful info for your consideration Jean Hudon Earth Rainbow Network Coordinator http://www.cybernaute.com/earthconcert2000 P.S. And as usual feel free to pass on to others anything that deeply resonates with you. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From: "Paul LeBreton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: New Energy Compilation Date: Sat, 11 Mar 2000 1 Dear Jean I am one of the New Generation of Clean Energy inventors...Without funding from the "Establishment" my Free Energy Magnetic Motors have taken years to develop rather than months...And are STALLED Pending Funding...

Thanks for doing so. I'll be interested to see if we can locate some investors through your network. I'll keep you posted on developments. Attached you'll find two other projects I'm working on: (1) The Sebastopol Institute, which is being set up in cooperation with Magnetic Power, Inc., a pioneering company in Sebastapol, CA which is working on room-temperature superconductivity and new energy technologies. This institute is focused on the development of new energy technologies, policy questions relating to a "gentle transition" to a new energy economy, and other issues dealing with creation of a humane economy. (2) The first project of the Institute, a crash program to develop the nuclear remediation technology developed by Ken Shoulders, the genius who first discovered "charge clusters" and how they can be used to transmute radioactive nuclear materials and create overunity power. This project is being led by two former "whistle-blowers" at Hanford, Casey Ruud and John Brodeur. The attachment shows the for-profit version of the project. We also have a non-profit version. Perhaps some members of your network will be interested in these projects. If so, please ask them to contact me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 503-297-7348 (address: 3435 SW 87th St., #16, Portland, OR 97225). Thanks again.

That's quite a slice of the $32 trillion global economy. Moreover, there is really only one big stock exchange, as Wall Street, the City of London and their counterparts in Frankfurt, Zurich, Tokyo and so on trade around the world's clock, intensifying the mobility of electronic capital. It funds economic activities with all manner of unknown repercussions. Which of my investments underpins over-logging in Cameroon, or sweatshop factories in Bangkok, or unsustainable farming in Mexico? Whatever my reservations about the process, I am globalizing as much as the rest of us. I am closely enough involved with billions of fellow members to shake financial hands with them or tread on their toes. The same applies to the environment. If the Chinese, sitting on one-third of the planet's coal, burned their stocks to fuel development, that could pump as much carbon dioxide into everyone's atmosphere as would be avoided were Britain and Germany to get out of fossil fuels altogether. The planetary ecosystem is a seamless continuum, and the winds carry no passports. These are some of the thoughts prompted by On The Edge, published this week, with its assessment of global and hence unitary capitalism. Of the 100 biggest economic entities in the world, only half are nation states, the rest being corporations. The world is no longer governed by governments alone and our daily lives - cultural perceptions, social mores, value systems, scientific endeavours - are increasingly determined by business leaders. Where are they leading us? If we want them to change direction, how can we make the message loud enough to be heard? These issues are explored by 13 contributors, including economist Paul Volcker, investor George Soros, physicist and philosopher Vandana Shiva and journalist Polly Toynbee. They applaud the opportunities afforded by global-scale corporations. But they also alert us to the problems of profits driven business with its lack of social responsibility and its frequent indifference to externality costs, especially environmental costs, and other risks such as concentrated control of the media. They highlight the socio-economic apartheid of a winner-take-all system where many people will end up in exclusion. The adverse environmental impacts have been widely documented, even though they attract little attention from international agencies. Notable examples include the inequitable use of tropical genetic resources for agriculture, and carbon dioxide emissions from the fossil fuels industry. According to the American analyst Paul Hawken, US businesses cause so many spillover costs - not just cancer from tobacco, pollution from cars and waste from manufacturing, but also the costs of community disruption - that they could cost society $3 trillion per year, or five times their profits. Accountability, anyone? Fortunately, a host of constraints on business practices are emerging, imposed as much by non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as by governments. In 1975 there were only 1,400 NGOs; today there are well over 30,000. These citizen activists, often globalized themselves, can deploy much muscle in the market-place: witness the 1995 campaign against Shell's plans to sink the Brent Spar oil platform. Similarly, NGOs have confronted RTZ and De Beers for supporting governments that ignore human rights. Global capitalism has major implications for science, too. For one thing, there is a parallel globalization of the scientific community. Courtesy of the Internet and e-mail, scientists can engage in virtual conferencing with colleagues around the world. There has been a quantum advance in academic networking which transcends national boundaries and interests at the touch of a keyboard. This enables scientists to keep pace with the headlong expansion of global capitalism, and to induce scientific constraints on business activities. There will surely be many more GMO-style sagas. For a second thing, science is increasingly pursued through the largesse of big business, notably in the form of pharmaceutical corporations with mega research budgets. A number of chemical companies control crop seeds and thus our food-chains through their biotechnologies. Scientists are also involved through Britain's third largest pension fund, the Universities Superannuation Scheme, which, with assets of US$30 billion, is to challenge businesses over their environmental performance or unduly low wages. All in all, this is an illuminating exploration of the fast-changing landscapes of capitalism, with its multiple links to everyone's lifestyles. Primarily directed at the corporate community, it has much to say about what scientists should bear in mind as they interact, whether wittingly or not, with the wider world. The book is not only an educational read, it is entertaining as well, thanks to its vigorous debates. Read it and ponder some of the implications of pursuing science at earth,Inc.

I loved this...and wanted to send it to those of you I have experienced as caring... With aloha, Bobbie W H A T M A T T E R S M O S T ? Name the ten wealthiest people in the world. Name the last ten Heisman trophy winners. Name the last ten winners of the Miss America contest. Name eight people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer prize. How about the last ten Academy Award winners? The last decade's worth of World Series winners? How did you do? With the exception of you trivia hounds, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday too well. Surprising how quickly we forget, isn't it? And what I've mentioned above are no second-rate achievements. These are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners. Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one: Think of three people you enjoy spending time with. Name ten people who have taught you something worthwhile. Name five friends who have helped you in a difficult time. List a few teachers who have aided your journey through school. Name half-a-dozen heroes whose stories have inspired you. Easier? The lesson? The people who make a difference are not the ones with the credentials, but the ones with the concern. <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
