The Organic Intellectual [Tribute to an Idea...]: October 2007

http://theorganicintellectual.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html

October 28, 2007. Poem] The Black Plague. The following is a poem I wrote about oil. (with a picture of Canada's disgusting Tar Sands gigaproject beside it). It’s really a marvel! Starts off as black sliminess extracted from the Earth –. But then you refine it, barrel it, sell it,. Ship it, sell it, pump it, sell it,. Let it course through the veins of the malleable alloy beast –. Like blood courses through us – and. Vroom vroom, you’re on your way! Black gold is really a marvel! Cars, trucks, trains,.

June 15, 2007. Theory II] Gramscian Internationalism. The following is taken from a paper I wrote on International Relations Theory. While Gramsci was particularly concerned with the class struggle on a domestic level, his theory could very well be applicable in the international setting. Most interesting, however, is that the latter part of this non-hegemonic period has witnessed the emergence of a counter-hegemonic bloc, one that is growing every day, and one that has the potential to capture the heart...

The Organic Intellectual [Tribute to an Idea...]: May 2007

http://theorganicintellectual.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html

May 05, 2007. Diatribe] The 7 Wonders of Canada. In the spring of 2007, CBC Radio's Sounds Like Canada. And CBC TV's The National. With this in mind, I would like to suggest that the greatest ‘wonder’ of Canada – and certainly what keeps me ‘wondering’ – is how a nation as rich, as well-educated, and as diverse as Canada, backed by a plethora of natural resources, has allowed this society to degenerate socially, economically, politically, environmentally – and mo...These real experiences are absolutely a...

The Organic Intellectual [Tribute to an Idea...]: [Occupation] Rethinking Grotesque Inequality

http://theorganicintellectual.blogspot.com/2011/10/occupation-rethinking-grotesque.html

October 19, 2011. Occupation] Rethinking Grotesque Inequality. An economist at the CCPA found that one third of all income growth in Canada went to the richest 1%. The average family in Canada earned $63,800 in 2009 – after tax. The average individual earned $31,500 after tax. Meanwhile, the 100 richest CEOs in Canada earned $6.6 million on average in 2009! Finally, people are entertaining the idea that such absurd income inequalities just shouldn't be allowed! Message to Wall Street. The Journal can be ...

The Organic Intellectual [Tribute to an Idea...]: November 2007

http://theorganicintellectual.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html

November 30, 2007. The following is from a feedback card I submitted to CBC News on-line detailing my disappointment with their latest coverage on Venezuela. Included here is a picture of the opposition rally, which, to be fair, was quite large. As established Latin American analyst James Petras has explained, the CIA has spent millions of dollars in the last month trying to coerce Venezuelans into voting against the Chavez government, and on projecting an image of a massive, unstoppable, freedom-loving ...

The Organic Intellectual [Tribute to an Idea...]: [Embarrassment] My Government's Approach to Environment is Subversive and Incompetent

http://theorganicintellectual.blogspot.com/2012/03/embarrassment-my-governments-approach.html

March 02, 2012. Embarrassment] My Government's Approach to Environment is Subversive and Incompetent. As a Canadian citizen I want to apologize to citizens of the world out there. for my government's dysmal, deficient, incompetent, underhanded approach to all environmental matters. I've blogged recently about how since the rise of Stephen Harper's Conservative Party the government has had trouble even upholding its own environmental laws. The first is a news story in The Calgary Herald. Notes how over th...

http://theorganicintellectual.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html

December 20, 2007. Power Grab] Real Freedom. For all their talk of the "freedoms" brought on by capitalist democracies, neocons sure don't have a lot to show for it! It doesn't take a rocket scientist [click on link below to expand to full post] (nor a feminist for that matter) to figure out that in a modern neoliberal capitalist "democracy" superimposed with neoconservative morality, freedom. Tends to belong to economically comfortable white heterosexual men. How fair does that sound! Two years ago, a l...
