OUR Ecovillage is where the bicycle rubber meets the bike trail. A 25 acre sustainable living demonstration site and education centre, located in Shawnigan Lake, just up the road from Victoria, OUR Ecovillage has been living the green dream, while training countless others in the ways of living they can employ to lessen their load on the environment. From food security and alternative building models, to teaching people how to live and work cooperatively, the project emphasizes it is; "by community, for community, through community." It all sounds ideal; but, there's a problem in paradise.

This week: It's a story that may well have been lost. History instructor and award-winning author, Larry Hannant discovered the nearly forgotten manuscript for 'Champagne and Meatballs: Adventures of a Canadian Communist,' a compendium of journalist Bert Whyte's articles, letters, and remembrances over the most politically turbulent decades of the 20th Century, bringing to light a unique angle on a period of this country's history that resonates with an eerily familiar ring today.

And; Gilad Atzmon's new book, 'The Wandering Who? A Study of Jewish Identity Politics' has received raves and rages.
Its publisher says 'The Wandering Who?' raises; "[S]ome of the most difficult and contentious issues of today..." examining; "[T]ribal aspects embedded in Jewish secular discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist; the 'holocaust religion'; the meaning of 'history' and 'time' within the Jewish political discourse; the anti-Gentile ideologies entangled within different forms of secular Jewish political discourse and even with the Jewish left."
It's a book, international jurist and UN Special Rapporteur for Occupied Palestinian Territories, Professor Richard Falk calls; "A transformative story told with unflinching integrity that all (especially Jews) who care about real peace, as well as their own identity, should not only read, but reflect upon and discuss widely."

Gilad Atzmon's New Book: The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics
Jewish identity is tied up with some of the most difficult and contentious issues of today. The purpose in this book is to open many of these issues up for discussion. Since Israel defines itself openly as the ‘Jewish State’, we should ask what the notions of ’Judaism’, ‘Jewishness’, ‘Jewish culture’ and ‘Jewish ideology’ stand for. Gilad examines the tribal aspects embedded in Jewish secular discourse, both Zionist and anti Zionist; the ‘holocaust religion’; the meaning of ‘history’ and ‘time’ within the Jewish political discourse; the anti-Gentile ideologies entangled within different forms of secular Jewish political discourse and even within the Jewish left. He questions what it is that leads Diaspora Jews to identify themselves with Israel and affiliate with its politics. The devastating state of our world affairs raises an immediate demand for a conceptual shift in our intellectual and philosophical attitude towards politics, identity politics and history.

This week: I spoke last month with Briony Penn about her article appearing in Victoria's Focus Magazine exposing Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans', (those same that brought you Canada's East coast cod collapse not so many years ago) mismanagement of West coast herring quotas.

And; Canada too is introducing legislation allowing the Canadian government, (and its unnamed friends) creep into your computer to find out just about everything it thinks it needs to know about you.
Naturally, it's all for the safety of the little children. Called 'Lawful Access,' the bills soon to be before the House will, in the words of Open Media, "make online spying the norm in Canada and seriously threaten the privacy and security of all Canadians."

This week: According to the Palestine Liberation Organization, Israel killed more than 180 Palestinians last year, and dispossessed thousands more. The PLO also credits the Israel Occupation Authority with green lighting the construction of 26,837 new settlement units on Palestinian lands, while confiscating thousands of acres of land, and razing to the ground nearly 500 homes.
Those sobering figures will set the stage this week for meetings between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Amman, where they hope to set an agenda for peace talks. Meanwhile, the Israeli daily, Ha'aretz reports the Israeli Defense Force is planning a successor to 2008's infamous Operation Cast Lead, where as many as fifteen hundred Palestinians perished.

And; while the collapse of the world's banking system made headlines last year, little is reported about the state of Canada's banks, or the role played in banking by the Canadian State. Shortly before the holidays, the Committee for Monetary and Economic Reform, or COMER, filed suit in Federal Court, charging the government of Canada restore the role of the Bank of Canada to its intended purpose, and challenging the federal government's accounting methods and calculations as pertains to the tabling of the budget and issuing of "tax credits" to big business and other select taxpayers.
