About

How much of Earth's atmosphere must we contaminate? How much of our lands and waters must we pollute? How much of our resources must we plunder, deplete? How many species must we ravage, despoil, extinguish? How many people must we degrade, deprive, destroy with toxic wastes and wars, before we learn to respect one another, to live in harmony on this planet, our Home? "All living beings are brothers and sisters, nourished from the same source of life.." -- Thich Nhat Hanh

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Brampton, Ontario, Canada

I was born in Eastern Europe during the height of the Stalinist regime's reign of terror. Thus, I know what it is like to live under a repressive, dictatorial regime. The fear and terror -- as dissident friends and family members were tortured, imprisoned and some were executed -- is indelibly etched in my memory. That is the reason I have always been an ardent advocate of freedom, social justice, civil liberties, human rights and a voice of peace. The way I see it, war is morally wrong, regardless of who wages it, for whatever reason. No piece of land or commodity is worth the sacrifice of one human life. We are all members of the same race - the "human race" - and must learn to coexist peacefully. Our planet cannot sustain us much longer if we do not stop our wars, nukes, polluting, deforestation, and the wasteful, gluttonous consumption and depletion of our natural resources.

    WHAT'S NEW ON CORPWATCH
    Holding Corporations Accountable

    We are very excited to announce that CorpWatch is now producing a weekly radio show/podcast which will be available on our website. Each show will feature a review of the week in corporate news, and an interview with our featured writer.

    This week, we interview CorpWatch's military researcher, David Phinney, about his most recent story about the construction of a new U.S. embassy in Baghdad. In the interview, David describes the issues surrounding military subcontracting in Iraq, focussing on labor issues involving third country nationals and human trafficking.

    The headlines cover a diverse range of issues, from Enron to gold mining in Asia, biotech in Europe to oil conflicts in Nigeria.

    Since this show is still in its inchoate form, we especially welcome feedback.
    Please send any comments to sakura@corpwatch.org
