Tech Age Democracy or Autocracy?

Dear All,

This is to share the link of new sub-blog started by me to share my thoughts on Palestine, and the present-day Tech Military based global governance, which is selective in perception and action at its best and sanctions inhumanity with all its might at its worst.

It is an instance in time, when democracy is turning to be the ugly face of Autocracy with Pride.

Peace, Security & Fourth Industry, Technology—impact on Us and Our Becoming

Peace is something everyone can sense, and yet, find difficult to define.

Living in the Margins

Molly Charles (1) Margin, a term familiar from tender age; notebooks with clear cut margins to delineate the main body of text, define it. The margins give it definite shape, a practice that continues into the virtual world. Among humans, it is these margins that give identity to the large majority we term normal.

Even when physical spaces merge, with an emph...

Drugs, Altered States of Consciousness & Us - Implications for Drug Policy

C enturies have gone by and yet we struggle in our waltz with Mind Altering Substances (MAS), our steps still falter and a probable safe distance evades our grasp. The yesteryears centered around finding mind altering substances in nature, from far and near; now we hone our skills in identifying the right chemicals or the means of manipulating molecular formations for creating MAS within kitchen labs or in the pharmaceutical industry. The presence of numerous substances to choose from has apparently not satiated user demand nor dampened the passion of enforcement agencies to exterminate the 'enemy'. There is an ever widening gap in the perception of MAS by users, numerous sub groups within the larger society, inclusive of enforcers of the Law. Users who adhere to cul...
