It’s snowing lightly. A group of children at the bus station are happy because of the snow that has fallen overnight. They are snowballing one another, cheering when a snowball hits one of their schoolmates. Tina hides behind the trunk of an old pear tree. Out of breath, she [...]

»Haiti was struck by a major earthquake of the 7,5 magnitude earlier today. Despite its power the quake didn’t cause any major damage.

Alright, let’s get to work
Port-au-Prince, Haiti
January 21, 2010
Partly destroyed hall of a former coffee roasting factory is crowded with men who escaped from the city prison. Among them is Luc, the leader of the newly formed crime gang.
“… and chaos is reigning. This is our new chance. There ain’t no police, no army, courts are destroyed, the president’s too [...]
Help or Occupation?
Haiti is a tragic example of the present that already mirrors the image of our common future. Climate changes, lack of natural resources, natural disasters, overpopulation and destruction of the environment will shape our future and our fate.
How can we tackle the coming problems? How are we going to solve such enormous issues when we [...]
What’s going on?
Is Haiti no longer an independent country and a member of the UN?
How is it possible that a military of another country enters Haitian territory?
How is it possible that nobody’s protesting?
Who allowed the US military to take control over Haiti?

A plane hits a skyscraper. Business with terrorism and war.
Toppling of a dictator. Business with oil.
A bomb blast in the subway. Business with security cameras.
Finding explosive in the heel of a shoe of an airline passenger. Business with security equipment for scanning passengers.
The spread of bird flu. Business with anti-flu medications.
The announcement of global warming. Business with CO2 [...]
How does ecohumanist social integrity work
A.) Ecohumanist society and money
The very thought that we all work for money, for a piece of paper or metal, is absurd. Let alone if we think that the entire social system is based on money; in fact, our development and even our survival depend on money.
The argument that money helped us reach such a [...]
Social Integrity of ecohumanist society
In the past 200 years, the world in which we live has changed completely. Hatred, distrust, disintegration of the world, destroyed environment, climate changes, reckless robbing of the planet, armament without control, military conflicts, exploitation of work force, division of the world into the rich and the poor are problems that were caused by the [...]
To All People in the World
All the best in the new year!
Let’s start it with an excerpt from the national anthem of my country, Slovenia
God’s blessing on all nations,
Who long and work for that bright day,
When o’er earth’s habitations
No war, no strife shall hold its sway;
Who long to see
That all men free
No more shall foes, but neighbours be.
