IMF - They Call It Democracy

“It’s not hard to bring out the worst in large numbers of citizens by constantly pressing their buttons; fear, hate, greed, false pride and blind loyalty are the main emotions used to manipulate people so much these last years. Reversing this process and empowering people through courage, love, generosity, humility and critical thinking is harder but it can and must be done.” -- Coleen Rowley for RootsAction; FBI whistle blower

What is what and who is who and who cares what if who is not, said the reflection to the shadow.



 


ISRAEL - THE ROGUE STATE
At the United Nations Security Council on Friday, Russia, China and Algeria-the Arab representative on the council- vetoed a US-sponsored UN resolution supporting “an immediate and sustained ceasefire” in the Israel-Hamas war.

Russia and China called the measure ambiguous and said it was not the direct demand to end the fighting that much of the world seeks.

The vote in the 15-member Security Council was 11 members in favour and three against. Guyana abstained.

But if what Israel, under Netayahu, is doing in both the West Bank and in Gaza is not murder and genocide - then just what is?

Historic film industry agreement signed between Ireland and France       printable version
13 Dec 2022: posted by the editor - Entertainment, Ireland, France

An Agreement between the Government of Ireland and the Government of the French Republic on Cinematographic Co-Production was signed in Paris this week.

The signing of this Agreement will combine the long and illustrious history of French cinema, which has a majestic film tradition, together with Ireland’s establishment as a global production hub in recent years.

If a project is certified as an official co-production, it is effectively regarded as a national production in each of the co-producing territories. Under this Agreement, the Irish production will be eligible to benefit from local territory benefits in France (for example, access to tax incentives, regional subsidies and the local distribution market).

Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Catherine Martin T.D. said: “The signing of this Co-Production Agreement will lead to benefits for the industry in Ireland and will incentivise work between our two film industries. The bilateral basis of the Agreement allows for cultural stories to be told across both territories, recognising our shared values and opening up access to a wider talent pool based in both France and Ireland. There is great potential now to deepen the cultural conversation between Ireland and France further and create further employment opportunities”.

Ambassador of Ireland to France, Niall Burgess, added: “Yesterday’s historic signing ceremony of the co-production agreement in Paris will facilitate cultural and creative exchange between France and Ireland.  We look forward to fostering and deepening relations with our colleagues in France as a result of the signing of this co-production agreement.”

Susan Bergin, Chair, Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland also welcomed the signing: “We would like to thank Minister Catherine Martin for her support on ensuring Irish/French partnerships in film continue to grow. This Treaty is a fantastic opportunity for Ireland to build closer working relationships with French producers and production companies, and to tell cultural stories across both nations, recognising our countries’ shared values and distinct offerings as cinematic storytellers. As a result of this new agreement, we’re looking forward to creating more feature films for the big screen together, as we continue to champion European co-production for decades to come.”

It was also announced yesterday that a Franco-Irish industry workshop would take place at the Cannes Festival in May 2023 to encourage and facilitate co-production projects between both France and Ireland.

If a project is certified as an official co-production, it confers national status of all the co-production territories to that project and is effectively regarded as a national production in each of the co-producing territories. The production is then eligible to benefit from local territory benefits in the co-producing country such as broadcast licence fees, access to tax incentives, regional subsidies and the local distribution market.

This Agreement will be the second such Agreement between Ireland and an EU Member State as a co-production Agreement with Luxembourg is already in existence.

Yesterday’s signing ceremony took place in Paris and was also attended by representatives from Screen Ireland along with Irish Film Industry Stakeholders.

Co-Production Agreements are made between the respective Governments, while the actual operation of the Agreements is undertaken by appointed agencies or Government Departments. In Ireland, the competent authority will be Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland.

It will be a matter for each co-producer to apply to their relevant competent authority for certification that the project complies with the guidelines under the Agreement.

To qualify as an official co-production under these agreements, there must be a co-producer in each country and there must be a balance between the Irish financial and creative contribution and that of the co-producing partner.

Other Co-production Treaties Ireland is a party to are as follows:

  • Ireland/Canada Co-production Treaty (2016) (replacing previous Treaty of 1989)
  • Ireland/ Australian Co-production Treaty
  • Ireland/New Zealand Co-production Treaty
  • Ireland/South Africa Co-production Treaty
  • Ireland/Luxembourg Co-production Agreement

Who overcomes by force, hath overcome but half his foe.”
John Milton

                                                     Origins of Poverty
When man came on earth he did not live in a society or hierarchy nor was he endowed with poverty. Good health, longevity, natural cheerfulness were his own even as he found himself amidst plenty. Like other species he lived or perished as the external resources permitted but he lived or perished as a group. Only when the society organised itself into a hierarchy, it was possible for one layer to exist while another persisted during times of scarcity. Organised ways of living, knowledge of all descriptions, systems created for comfort etc. interfered with the natural living of MAN in hundreds of ways. With the passing of time these stratifications of society come to stay and even create a psychology by which even the victim takes his victimization for granted. No question arises in his mind. ...

Had not the society organised itself in such a way that segments of it are protected and other segments were defenseless, MAN would have remained as MAN and would not have been bifurcated into poor and rich.

“Man was always destroying things, and beautiful things.
At the time they wouldn’t seem beautiful.
It was only afterwards that men felt pity for the things their hands had destroyed.”
