A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt

   We had to struggle with the old enemies of peace — business and financial monopoly, speculation, reckless banking, class antagonism, sectionalism, war profiteering.
   They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob.
   Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882–1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933–1945)
Speech (1936-10-31), Madison Square Garden, New York City

A quotation from Joseph Conrad

“No,” interrupted the doctor. “There is no peace and no rest in the development of material interests. They have their law, and their justice. But it is founded on expediency, and is inhuman; it is without rectitude, without the continuity and the force that can be found only in moral principle.”

Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) Polish-English novelist [b. Teodor Josef Konrad Korzeniowski]
Nostromo, Part 3 “The Lighthouse,” ch. 10 (1904)

Ecosystem Mapping for Carbon Credit Schemes | EthicalGEO

Introduction Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) have become central to the growth of carbon credit markets. Remote sensing and other GIS approaches enable detailed measurement, monitoring, and verification of carbon sequestration projects worldwide (Dossa and Miassi, 2024). However, with this influential role comes significant ethical responsibility. In this blog, we critically explore how GIS technologies are ...

I am bewildered that the US Government - with full knowledge of these abuses - has long tolerated and supported an Israeli government that allows, indeed is actively complicit, in these abuses. In the US, the support is clearly bipartisan. Is it #AIPAC donations? Is it #BusinessInterests? After all, in the 1930s business interests were very influential in US policy, while profiting handsomely in sales and operations in Germany,knowing full well what was happening. And #AirBnB is certainly well connected, for example.

Those #ClickBait #ads for articles and services are ubiquitous. Just remember to keep in mind the #MassMediaPrinciples. They play to your #values, #beliefs and #ideologies, but what if we change those icon images ? A different #ConstructedReality emerges. How do those #BusinessInterests and intended #TargetAudiences look now ? Use the principles to view with a slightly ironic eye and the #Underlying#Intention of the #message becomes obvious.
