Post No. 2,329 - Reading and other links [Note: Content Warning for news links - reader discretion is advised]

Im going to begin this with a reminder that the work of this blog is:

and

  • BPM  strengthening of BPM units - some nonphysical, some incarnated people . . . and one of, if not the, best ways that is done is strengthening people's connection with their own Higher Self (which is possibly not what they interpret as their conscience).

Also:

Black Lives Matter! Be Anti-Racist, Anti-Sexist, and Actively Inclusive in ALL Areas.
The Climate Crisis is real, urgent and
existential!

The Pandemic is Real, and Vaccinations save lives. Stay safe - wash your hands, wear a face mask in public if prudent to do so, and follow informed medical advice.

We also need to be more human being rather than human doing. 

Having made those points, here are some links that you, Dear Reader, may find of interest or value (articles by others unless stated otherwise)

In preparation for tomorrows psychic weather report, I do a weekly summary of news links - every one of which is an opportunity to do the work of this blog, which I outlined at the start of this post. That can be accessed at: 

One part of the post covers natural and other disasters, which are always an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog, so I will copy that section here: 

  • on NATURAL and OTHER DISASTERS (noting Article 1(3) of the UN Charter)
    • a list of emergency hotspots (DW);   an explosion has destroyed a block of flats in the (ABC) UK (TND);   risk of famine is growing in Haiti (UN) - see also this, on violence (ICG);   floods and landslides in the DRC (TG), landslide in Malaysia (TG), and ongoing (TG) problems from floods (ABC) in Australia - see also this abuse (TG);   drought in Somalia (UN);   a fireworks display went wrong and injured people in Australia (TND);   tornadoes in the USA (CNN);   the UN has adopted an automatic exemption of humanitarian aid from sanctions (LFB);  

Another part lists a few key points from the news, which are also an excellent opportunity to do the work of this blog, so I will also copy that section here: 

  • right wing extremists (R) in Brazil have (AJ) attempted (TG) a violent (DW) insurrection;   an assessment of the actions needed to address far right wing extremism (TC) - see also this (TND) and this (Star) - and of the risks (DW) in Germany (DW), including in their judiciary (DW);   a Reuters special investigation reports witnesses claiming that the “Nigerian Army massacred children in war on insurgents” (R);   some thoughts of mine on the corporation-person divide and overlap;   how and when the corporate takeover of US politics began (YT - RR) - see also this (TND);   the major problem of nightsky light pollution (TG);   the risks associated with a new form of machine learning (TND);   claims (TND) of a major (TG) break through in nuclear fusion (DW) (which, to be clear, uses hydrogen, not uranium, and does not create a radioactive residue in the approach tested, which uses laser initiation - thermonuclear bombs use nuclear fission to initiate a fusion explosion, and thus are different);   why the future is unravelling - why the three pillars of modernity are breaking — and sending the world hurtling backwards” (M);   “the pandemic showed us that poverty is a policy choice – we must do better” (TG);  
I generally do the PWRs on Sunday in Australia, with an aim to get it online by 8pm on the Australian east coast - which, in the southern winter, is midday in Geneva, 11am in London, 6am in New York, and 3am on the US west coast.
