    no arguments... with any your points...

    I also think the fear of retribution from #tRump is a huge factor...

    #profit above all ... always before #humanity...

    the #bible a book of #fiction indeed...

  3. Paix intérieure et paix sociale

    Pour illustrer notre possible résistance commune au culte de l’argent, je voudrais citer un célèbre dominicain, Bartholomé de Las Casas, auteur de la Controverse de Valladolid. Quand il défend le point de vue que les Indiens ont une âme et qu’il faut cesser de les tenir en esclavage, il écrit: « Depuis les tout premiers contacts, les Espagnols n’ont paru animés et poussés que par la soif de l’or. C’est tout ce qu’ils réclament: « De l’or, de l’or, de l’or. Au point qu’en certains endroits, les habitants des terres nouvelles disaient : « Mais qu’est-ce qu’ils en font de tout cet or? Ils doivent le manger. » Tout est soumis à l’or, tout. » Je crains que l’on vive dans un monde où, de plus en plus, tout soit soumis au profit.

    Je ne pense pas être un homme de paix, mais un homme de combat. Mon discours est relativement belliciste. Quand on parle de paix, j’ai souvent l’impression que c’est d’une fausse paix qu’il s’agit : belliciste le silence qu’on voudrait nous imposer.

    *

    Le choix d’Arnaud Beltrame, dont on sait par ailleurs qu’il avait la foi, de se substituer à un otage dans le supermarché de Trèbes, ne relève pas non plus de motivations personnelles mais de quelque chose d’autre qui le dépassait : est-ce le devoir ? La patrie ? L’honneur ? Je ne sais pas. Mais il nous a démontré qu’il existe des valeurs qui dépassent le cadre personnel. Je pense que l’on a tous en nous quelque chose de cet ordre-là, même si ce n’est peut-être pas poussé à ce point d’héroïsme. Or la société nous invite en permanence non pas à stimuler cette part de nous-même, mais à l’éteindre. Comme si c’était quelque chose de honteux.

    *

    Je n’ai jamais eu de fonction séparée de mes désirs, de mes convictions. Quand je croise les autres élus à la buvette de l’Assemblée nationale, on discute les uns avec les autres, malgré nos désaccords, nos différentes appartenances, et dès que l’on rentre dans l’hémicycle, je les vois tous changer de discours, revêtir la rigidité de la fonction. Ça me déprime, cette idée de fonction qui peut vous déshumaniser.

    'Last month, while a judge in a Paris courtroom finished reading her verdict, police ... #arrested Bruno Lafont.... 69, the former #CEO of #Lafarge, the largest cement manufacturer in the world. He's now serving a 6 year #prison sentence, and his former second-in-command is serving 5.

    'When #corporations cause real harm in pursuit of #profit, when they #poison #rivers, flood communities with deadly drugs, or fund #violence to keep a factory running, the typical outcome is a fine. The company pays out, the executives keep their jobs or retire quietly ..., and almost no one personally goes to prison. We see this massively in the pharmaceutical field.

    'But this ruling may change things moving forward.

    'What Lafarge actually did

    'Between 2013 and 2014, as Syria collapsed into civil war, Lafarge paid roughly 6.5 million dollars to ISIS and two other groups designated as terror organizations. The payments bought safe passage through ISIS checkpoints, which meant the company's Syrian cement plant could keep running and keep generating revenue.

    'Nobel laureate Nadia Murad and more than 400 other Yazidi survivors, all of them American citizens, eventually sued Lafarge directly. Their argument was that the company's payments helped finance the genocide of the Yazidi people, the mass executions, the sexual slavery, the abduction of thousands of women and children.
    .....
    'There is also reasonable concern about backlash. A US administration that has sanctioned a UN rapporteur for documenting corporate complicity in #Gaza, presided over a 660 million dollar verdict against #Greenpeace for opposing an oil pipeline, and dismantled large parts of the #EPA's regulatory powers is not going to quietly accept a wave of #accountability rulings.
    .....
    'The good news is, the judge in Paris drew a line that hasn't really been drawn in 80 years, and that line now exists. What we choose to build on top of it is the next question.'

  18. A quotation from Lovecraft

    As for the Republicans — how can one regard seriously a frightened, greedy, nostalgic huddle of tradesmen and lucky idlers who shut their yes to history and science, steel their emotions against decent human sympathy, cling to sordid and provincial ideals exalting sheer acquisitiveness and condoning artificial hardship for the non-materially-shrewd, dwell smugly and sentimentally in a distorted dream-cosmos of outmoded phrases and principles and attitudes based on the bygone agricultural-handicraft world, and revel in (consciously or unconsciously ) mendacious assumptions (such as the notion that real liberty is synonymous with the single detail of unrestricted economic license, or that a rational planning of resource-distribution would contravene some vague and mystical “American heritage” — economic oversight, price-fixing, “government in business”, etc. recur often in American colonial history) utterly contrary to fact and without the slightest foundation in human experience? Intellectually, the Republican idea deserves the tolerance and respect one gives to the dead.

    H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937) American fabulist [Howard Phillips Lovecraft]

  35. This statment by the CEO of the Business Council Association is exactly what our #AlboPM is parroting publically:

    “Mr Black gave evidence to the Senate inquiry on its second day of public hearings, arguing a levy would be “counterproductive” at a time when Australia needs more investment. […] Energy investors are like butterflies – if they are scared, they fly away,” he said, citing the head of the International Energy Agency (IEA).”

    Which, of course, is absolute BS. All that investors need for incentive is a sound #BusinessCase that promisses #Profit. ANY PROFIT above the #CashRate will do. It doesn’t have to be the promisse of #Pilfering or #Sacking an economy FFS. ANy fool understands this. WHY doesn’t the #PM get it? If #AlboPM is not fool (and I have no reason to think he is), then HE IS COMPLICIT in the rape and sacking of the country by #Multinationals and the #ExtractiveIndustries - pure and simple (Because based on numbers, it’s not about jobs). And the #NationalSecurity ballon won’t fly here either.

    I’m getting fed up hearing this neoliberal lie over and over and over again…

  39. Rockwell Land’s Profit Jumps Almost 28% On Residential And Leasing Gains

    Rockwell Land, the company behind the high-end Rockwell Center and the Alabang Town Center (ATC), saw its profit jump almost 28% on residential and leasing gains, according to a news report by BusinessWorld.

    To put things in perspective, posted below is the excerpt from the business news report of BusinessWorld. Some parts in boldface…

    ROCKWELL LAND Corp. reported a 27.6% increase in attributable net income to P4.73 billion for 2025 from P3.71 billion in 2024, driven by higher residential revenues, growth in leasing income, and gains from the acquisition and consolidation of Alabang Commercial Corp. (ACC).

    Total consolidated revenues rose 3.9% to P20.87 billion from P20.09 billion a year earlier, with residential sales accounting for about 75% of revenues, while commercial leasing contributed around 21%, the company said in its annual report released on Wednesday.

    Residential revenues increased by 5% on higher project completion, while retail and leasing income grew 6% due to improved rental rates and occupancy.

    Earnings were also supported by “the gain on the acquisition and consolidation of ACC” and increased contributions from affiliates.

    Expenses rose during the period, with selling expenses increasing 9% due to higher sales bookings and project completions, while interest expense went up 11% on higher borrowing costs and loan balances.

    Cost of real estate declined by 5%, partly offsetting the increase in expenses, while interest income fell 18% due to lower returns on contract receivables and short-term placements.

    Income before tax rose to P6.72 billion from P5.30 billion in 2024. Provision for income tax increased to P1.41 billion, bringing net income to P5.31 billion for the year.

    Reservation sales jumped 62% to P25.3 billion, driven by “strong demand for newly launched projects.”

    Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Considering the more expensive fuel prices in connection with the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, do you think Rockwell will still be able to achieve strong growth this year? Do you think they will soon announce a redevelopment of the Alabang Town Center?
