COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Feeling Very Fine - Picasso The Printmaker At The British Museum

This is Pablo Picasso the way he is rarely seen – at least in so far as the hundred or so pieces at the British Museum’s Picasso: Printmaker have been displayed. The viewer is treated to dazzling marked draughtsmanship that also evinces a mastery of techniques: the use of drypoint and etching, lithographs, linocuts and aquatints.

Gordon Campbell: Gordon Campbell On Why “golden Visas” Are A Losing Bet On Growth

For obvious reasons, people feel uneasy when the right to be a citizen or resident is sold off to wealthy foreigners.

Ian Powell: When Overlaying Fact In Health Systems With Fiction Morphs Into Embellishment

Ian Powell discusses what happens when facts get overtaken by fiction to become embellishment in the context of the current direction of New Zealand’s health system.

Ramzy Baroud: Trump’s Gaza Plan - A Green Light For Ethnic Cleansing?

The key question now is whether Arabs and other supporters of Palestine worldwide will go beyond merely rejecting such sinister proposals and take the initiative to push for the restoration of the Palestinian homeland. This requires a justice-based international campaign, rooted in international law and driven by the aspirations of the Palestinian people themselves.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Does Cosmic Intelligence Care About Humanity?

No amount of activism or number of mass movements can meet the crisis of man. The undivided individual contains the whole of humanity.

But the provision of aid is rarely benign, almost always political, and, in its realisation, often self-defeating.
