The State of Independence: British Colonialism Replaced by a New Hegemony
CounterPunch, RINF, Global Research, Dissident Voice, Countercurrents *India celebrates its independence from Britain on 15 August. However, the system of British colonial dominance has been replaced by a new hegemony based on the systemic rule of transnational capital, enforced by global institutions like the World Bank and WTO. At the same time, global agribusiness corporations are stepping into the boots of the former East India Company.* The long-term goal of US capitalism has been to restructure indigenous agriculture across the world and tie it to an international system of ... more »

Negative Waves in Space
NASA's Van Allen Probes observed a new population of space sound waves, called plasmaspheric hiss, which are important in removing high-energy particles from around Earth that can damage satellites. Other bodies in the solar system don't have the protective measures that Earth enjoys and when robotic space craft visit (and later humans riding in the can), can be negatively influenced by conditions that are unfamiliar, and are not compensated for (presuming that compensation is possible.

Rediscovering A Lost Method Of Preserving Strawberries with john townsend.
The chopped strawberries are preserved with sugar and chopped raisin.. The sugar draws out the moisture to produce a thick syrup along with shrunken strawberries and softened raisins. This is a really neat product that deserves revival. It can be served as a sweet chutney and also used as an ingredient in baking. Also think that this product may well be superior to frozen berries which are best served by grinding up or cooking anyway. My experience with frozen raspberries and frozen strawberries has always been that they were a poor compromise and took effort to improve. Thi... more »

The socialists are lying to you about the "shrinking middle class."
"The American middle class has been doing just fine. In 1967, 33.7 percent of all American households earned between $50,000 and $100,000; by 2014, that number (in constant 2014 dollars) had fallen to 28.5 percent of American households. That means the death of the middle class, right? Wrong. It turns out that everybody just got wealthier. In 1967, the households earning an annual income of $50,000 or less constituted 58.2 percent of all Americans; as of the end of 2014, just 46.8 percent fell into this group. And while only 8.1 percent of American households earned more than $100... more »

International Cat Day : Meet an Egyptian Museum Cat
[image: The Egyptian Museum Cat] That cat is among the famous cats of the Egyptian Museum of Cairo One more photo to celebrate the International Cat day and a throwback to my visits to the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. This was one of its famous cats wondering freely in its corridors and garden.
