Martin Feldstein and other experts renew their call to stem the decline in house prices with a new policy for homeowners under water - 2010-2012
01/05/2009
The cost would be an estimated $350 billion to cancel some of the mortgage debt of homeowners. Feldstein says this is a necessary step to revive the U.S economy. Letting the forest fire of foreclosures burn itself out would damage the U.S. economy further. Feldstein says this is not an option.

The participation of the Islamist and the secular leaders in the new government of Libya
01/05/2009
Islamists say they are misunderstood. They only want freedom to go the mosque and individual freedoms. One Islamist leaders says westerners do not understand them and think they want to lock up their women in boxes. Islamist and Muslim Brotherhood rebels did a lot of the hard fighting against the Gaddafi regime and Belhaj is one of the leaders running the capital Tripoli. See the interview with Belhaj by Rod Nordland in the New York Times, Sept. 1, 2011. Belhaj says he is grateful to NATO and the West for the help in fighting Gaddafi and holds no rancor- even though he was turned over to the Gaddafi regime by the CIA in this amazing account by Nordland.

Russia's support for the Assad regime in Syria
01/05/2009
Russia's support for the Assad regime comes from a sense of keeping its superpower status and opposition to unilateral interventions by the U.S., Britain and France. Russian arms sales are an insignifcant factor. Russians see the secular regime of Assad preferable to an expansion for Islamist related democratic parties in the Middle East, especially considering the problems in the Chechnya region of Russia. The Russian government has failed to grasp the needs of the younger generation in the Middle East to have a voice in their government especially after years of neglect and military regimes.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
