MAIN HOON NA: GORI GORI

It's time for a celebration. I've been checking various search terms on Google and AskButWhy hs been popping up on the first page on a lot of them, especially with famous names and authors (try Max Keiser, John Perkins, Greg Palast, Catherine Austin Fitts, or even Lady Gaga for instance). I'm pleasantly surprised and astonished. I've been getting 30-50 visits per day on a regular basis in 2011, with the very limited number of posts that year. It used be closer to 100 in 2010 when I was more active in posting. I guess that's all the visits it takes to end up on front of Google...

Btw, a belated Happy New Years. Anyone kept to their resolutions? I haven't bothered with them for years.

Anyways, it's time to celebrate with a great, fun song Gori Gori from Main Hoon Na. With subtitles, of course.

This movie probably has the most amount of great songs. The camera work, direction, elaborate costumes/stage, and choreography combined make for some great footage. Remember the songs Chale Jaise Hawaein and Tumse Milke Dil Ka Jo Haal from previous posts?

An epic song.. Chaiyya Chaiyya from the movie Dil Se (1998). Actually the complete name of the song is Chal Chaiyya Chaiyya. This is another song by the A.R. Rahman.

Money prioritized over everything else - Italian Trash Mafia

A DIRTY BUSINESS

People's Milk vs Corporate Dairy

Here's an outstanding article about milk production around the world. The people's milk, which is produced by small farmers and individuals, is being destroyed by various schemes and investments by the big guys.

So it works this way. Try to make sense of it. Stop buying milk from small farmers which destroys their livelihoods and herd. Import cattle to replace the small farmer herds and put then on massive dairy farms. Charge 6x retail what it cost to buy from a small farmer. Somehow, the modern method is better? Not to mention the nutrient quality. Whih milk is going to have more nutrition? A small farmer's herd that grazes local pasture or large dairy farms where there is standing room only and the cattle is fed feed? And let's not mention the pollution.

Local breeds of dairy animals that supply the people's milk system, whether cattle, goats, buffaloes or camels, have the resilience and low-input efficiency that small farmers and pastoralists need to withstand the precarious conditions created by climate change. It is their livestock systems that require support, not the "investors", who get all kinds of generous tax breaks, donor funds, and other incentives from governments.

Don Jon Corzine: An interview by Alex Jones

LOL! Here's a mock interview of Don Jon Corzine, formerly the head of the imploded MF Global, which is still allowed to trading in the markets using their internal funds! Max Keiser recently came on board to spill the rumor that Jon Corzine was threatened by Chase's Jamie Dimon. Don Jon was given two options, either steal from the private accounts to pay back Chase's loan or swim with the fishes.

Bankers: Predators

8 FOR ME, 1 FOR YOU

Alas, suspicions are being confirmed that banking and finance are societal predators feasting on the productivity of others. It is a mix of gullible, naive, and/or corrupt masses who wait for that piece of food to be thrown over the side of the grand dinner table, which entertains the fat cats, while they feast up the productivity of the masses.

As the article points out it is the top 1% that are liabilities while the bottom 20% are the real producers of the economy. As I've asked before, without the cleaners, manual laborers, gardeners, waiters, cooks, cashiers, what would the quality of life be for the rest of us 80%?
